He is a politician of considerable per- sonal ciarm, and an effective speaker before either French or English audiences. In Quebec nationalism he is counted as definits!y a moderate.

Highlighting the _ entertain- ment were Ini folk singer Buffy Sainte ie, of Craven, Sask., who received repeated cries of encore from the ~ least onerous of -duties as sOlic- itor-general. At that time, one source now says, Mr. Balcer was offered an opportunity by the party leaders to be groomed for great things as Mr. Diefenbaker's Quebec lieutenant. Even then, it is said, Mr. Balcer, a lawyer, had doubts as to his ambition to make politics his professional career, In a 1960 cabinet shuffle, Mr. Balecer was given the heavy portfolio of minister of trans- port, apparently on a sink-or- swim basis. A quiet, unassum- ing man by nature, he blos- somed in the department given up by the more dynamic George Hees, who went from traasport to the trade and commerce de- partment. In the 1963 general election, Mr. Balcer was the senior Que- bec Conservative MP 'o retain his seat. After pressures involv- ing some party bitterness he was officially designated this year as Mr. Diefenbaker's Que- bec lieutenant. He was then asked whether h thought a French - Canadian should or could ever be leader of the Conservative party in Canada, nationally, and replied affirmatively. His candidacy for the leadership whenever Mr. Diefenabker retires was as- sumed. SUPPORTED REBELS In the recent protracted de- bate on interim spending au- thority, Quebec Conservatives generally grew restive and it was reported, were prepared to dissociate themselves with the party tactic of extending de- bate, Mr. Balcer was regarded as largely in sympathy with these sentiments, but not their instigator. NEEDLE BETTERS BACK-SEAT BITE TORONTO (CP) -- Con- stable Nelson Jones went searching for a big dog re- ported roaming at large Saturday but the dog found him first. He withdrew for anti-tet- anus shots with part of the rear of his trousers missing while the Humane Society rounded up the German Shepherd. Bill To Fight Squalor In U.S. Finally Passed WASHINGTON (AP) -- The House of Representatives Satur- day presented President John- son with a delayed victory by passing his $947,500,000 anti- poverty bill. The roll-call vote was 226 to 84. The victory was all but won Friday night during a long, con- fusing session in which all the provisions of the bill were ap- proved 228 to 190, but the op- ponents succeeded in blocking a final vote until Saturday. They did it by demanding that a printed copy of the bill in its final form be prepared before the vote. It took an over- night printing job to comply with the request. The bill commits the U.S. gov- ernment to a broad course of action aimed at helping idle youths and low-income families earn their way off relief. fronting him is whether, after 15 years in the Commons, he should give up his political pros- pects and make a career in busi- ness for himself or make a ca- reer of politics. Barry Says Extremism Is Devotion NEW YORK (AP) -- Senator Barry Goldwater says the "ex- tremism" he advocated in the defence -f liberty could be paraphrased as "whole-hearted devotion" to the cause. The Republican presidential nominee, in a letter to former vice-president Richard Nixon, said misunderstandings must not stand in the way of party unity. Goldwater has been under pressure from various promi- nent members of the party to elaborate on his use of the term "extremism" in his acceptance speech July 16 in San Fran- cisco, The Arizonan did so in the letter to Nixon, who had writ- tek asking for clarification. Nixon made the letter public Sunday. Goldwater said in his Repub- lican convention speech: "I would remind you that ex- tremism in the defence of lib- erty is no vice, And let me re- mind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue." In the letter, Goldwater said: "If 1 were to paraphrase the two sentences in question in the context in which I uttered them I would do it by saying that whole-hearted devotion to lib- erty is unassailable and that half-hearted devotion to justice is indefensible." Goldwater made a_ surprise visit to New York Saturday and met with former president Her- bert Hoover and Francis Car- dinal Spellman,' Roman Catholic Archbishop of New York. Goldwater said he and the cardinal discussed general problems of the world. includ- ing the recent Harlem race riots. saesonably cold temperatures and under mainly cloudy skies, the festival was generally quiet. Organizers, who expected 15,- 000 to attend, expressed disap- pointment in the financial out- come of the event, originally scheduled to be held on a farm in Medonte township near Oril- jlia, 80 miles north of here. Plagued by difficulties from the start, the festival was switched to Toronto 24 hours be- fore Friday's opening when Mr. Justice E. L. Haines of the On- tario Supreme Court upheld a township bylaw restraining Mariposa Folk Festival Incor- porated from holding the affair within township boundaries. The Medonte council claimed the organizers failed to comply with the bylaw, requiring a $200,000 public liability bond be posted to. cover possible prop- erty damage similar to that which marred the event in Oril- lia last year. A cloudburst threatened to wash out Friday's opening per- formance and then blues ar- tist Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee failed to appear at ei- ther the Friday or Saturday con-|* certs, It was not known why they did not. show up. Officials said about $900 in refunds were made during the three days. DEFY UNION Other headaches arose whe the American Federation of Mu- sicians (CLC) denied British folksingers Birdie and Jacque- line permission to accompany themselves instrumentally dur- ing their Friday night perform- ance. The two singers defied the union ruling at Saturday night's show on the advice of festival officials. Campers attending the event were thrown off Canadian Na- tional Exhibition property Fri- day night after having been given permission by festival of- ficials.to pitch their tents there.

He was first elected to the Commons in 1949 with a major- ity of just 51 votes. In subse- quent elections he increased his majority with the growing Con- servative resurgence in Quebec province to nearly 7,000 in 1958 and then suffered the slump that came to nearly all Tories in the province.
