As of September first, all traffic, whether overtaking or approaching halted school buses must come to a atop. Up until now the overtaking vehicles only have been required to pause. This was to eliminate acci- dents in which children dash in front of stopped buses and into the path of the overtaking traffic, But children have been known to run across highways from behind the buses and into the path of ap- proaching vehicles. A driver under auch circumstances has no better vision than the one following the bus. In fact, school buses are big, cumbersome - appearing vehicles which are usually high and the driver, busy with his chattering, mischievous passengers cannot be expected to watch out for the chil- dren after they have left the bus. School bus drivers are generally inclined to use all of the safety pro- cedures laid down for them.

And why isn't. the State Department told that these are our policies?" It does not add up, the paper says. 'Instead of-giv- ing the frail the right to develop free of interference, to fashion their own society, we seem deter- mined to save them from them- selves --- even if we coerce and crush them in the process," RESTRICTIONS BATTLED... Enliven Quebec Election QUEBEC (CP) -- The mar- riage of two ideologies---senara- tism and Social Credit---has pro- duced an active potitical infant in the June 5 Quebec election. Le Ralliement nationale, put- ting up 96 candidates, is being nursed through its first cam- paign by co-leaders--Dr, Rene Jutras, a pediatrician, and Lau- rent Legault, a trucking firm operator, "A party with two heads is better than one with two faces," says Dr. Jutras, adding that dual leadership will make it easier for local candidates to stand out since the party will not be "dominated by a single personality." Mr, Legault says the Jack of a dominant leader will make it possible for le Ralliement to "draw more attention to its pro- gram,"' That program has two main planks--associate statehood in- volving almost total separation of Quebec from. the rest of Can- ada, and Creditiste economie theory RN wants Quebec to control its own (taxes trade, immiera- tion and credit, It also wants a Bank of Quebec to create and control credit and grant inter- est-free loans to the government for large projects It favors increased royalties on mining operations which Mr, Legault says 'could eliminate the provincial debt in 20 years,"* FAVORS BIG FAMILIES And it is in favor of babies, advocating $100 payments to parents for each birth and in- terest-free Joans to families with more than four children to per mit them to build or improve homes tt would also undo all the Lib eral education reforms which, it says, "Americanize or Anglicize the school systein," 1 Legault, 47 old father of five and owner of a trucking firm in Rouyn, has been associated with Social vear Credit since the start of his po- lites! eaveer, A. -Aee-bresthing platform orator, he has run for election twice before, losing hoth times, Hard hit by the Depression, . which foreed himte tesve school at 13, he first heard of Social Credit in 1941 and began studying the party's and other economic theortes such as Marxism and corporatism, He rejected all but Social Credit.

Trutch was a leading mainiand businessman. Dr, J. § Helmeken, although he had led the movement to join the U.S.A, represented Vancouver Island in terests and was an experienced negotiator Governor Musgrave, who was in favor of British Columbia joining Canada, had tipped off the Canadian government that Confederation would be a sure thing if a railway were prom- ised The B.C. delegaies were sur prised at the friendly reception they received in Ottawa, and ho easily their terms were met, Sir Cn Te Mo nn AHA George Etienne Cartier was the spokesman for the federal gov- ernment because Sir John A, Macdonald was ill. Canada agreed to take over British Col umbia's debi of $1,045,000 and provide certain subsidies and grants. The province could de- cide jis own form of govern: ment, Canaa would try to per- suade Britain to retain the naval station at Ksquimalt, and would guaraniee a loan for the build. ing of a dry-dock Most important of all was the promise to build a railway to the Pacific, starting within two years and completed in 10, This exceeded the request of the B.C, delegates, They had asked that a wagon trail be built from Fort Garry, and that work on a railway begin with in three years Later B.C. delegate Truteh said 'We must all remember in British Columbia that to Sir George Cartier and his follow- ers in Lower Canada we owe the position we are now in, and cc | Changes In Voting Patterns Likely As Youth Has Say By CLAUDE HENAULT QUEBEC (CP) Youth. will have its say in the June 5 Que- bec election The voting age has heen re- duced to 18 from 21 and an es: timated 250,000 people in this age group will be among the 5,190,904 eligible voters, n addition, there are another 250,000 between 21 and 25 who were too young to vote in the last Quebec election, in 1962, and therefore have not yet shown their political color Until this) election, Quehee voters usually had. »..fsirty clear-cut choice between the Liberals, now-in power, and the Union Nationale, in opposition since 1960 This time, however, two sep- aratist groups have entered the arena in force-le Rassemble- ment pour l'Independance na- tionale (RIN) and le Ralliement National (RN), It's diffientt to predict how the new voters will go, says Prof, Vincent Lemieux of Laval University, "Less and less da the chil dren vole as their parents do, and, in fact, there has been an inversion in many homes, Re- cause the children are often better educated than their pa- rents, they are deciding in many homes how the whole family, including the parents, will vote." The political science professor has surveyed the youth vole question and says the phenome: non of inversion would make it- self felt mostly in rural areas where the education level of pa- rents is generally lower BETTER INFORMED Diseussing the attitude of the 18-10-28 group. Prof. Lemieux says: "They take politics quite seriously. . . . Their first vote is quite an event Most of them are betier informed than the great majority of the pres ent electoraie, . . ." He says his survey indicates the bulk of the new vote in ur ban areas will be split between the Liberals and RIN, with the separatist party making = its atrongest showing in the Mont eal area "where it might get 19 per cent of the: vote." In the rural areas the vouth vole would be split among the four parties with the Union Na- tionale and RN holding an edge, Rut how this will affect the outcome of the election is still diffieult to gauge because no record of voters' ages is kept and the strength of the youth vole in a given area ts nol easy to estimate Prof, Lemieux does say, how- ever, that the Liberals and RIN will 'appeal to upper and upper middle classes while the other two will get support from mid- dle and lower classes," Asked if the final sartianof the Parent royal commission report on education, which op- poses immediate free university tuition, would hurt the governs ing Liberals, Prof, Lemieux said it could only 'crystallize tendencies;" that It would be an additional argument for those who would have voted the Liberals anyway, and that the report afier all contained only recommenda: tions that had not yet been ac- cepied by the government, HOSTILITY NOTED gProf, Lemieux added that the rash of students' and teachers' strikes of the last year could cul down the Liberal youth vote, "It is probable that their un- happiness with the Liberal gov- ernment will cause it to suffer during the election," He said that during lecture tours he had noticed, 'through certain remarks and interrup- tions, that there was hostility on the part of teachers toward the Liberals," "However, | believe they will have the decency not to use the against rostrum to influence their stu. dents What they do. after classes is another matter," On the other hand, the Union Nationale would be hurt by the image of Maurice Duplessis, the late UN leader and premier for If years, which was still re- flected in the party, This image still strikes the voulhful voters even though they are ton young to have ex themselves and second-hand, the perienced ~ it know professor says only ENR A HSA BM lO eG NH especially the Canadian Pacifie Railway", One reason Canada was will- ing to hurry the building of a railway was the Riel uprising at Red River, When the B.C, dele- gates arrived on June 3 a mili- tary expeditionary force was on the way to Fort Garry, As a rail- way was being built that far it might as well go all the way to the Pacific Actually it took. the North- west rebellion in 1885 to get the job done Other Events on June 3: 1620 Recollet Fathers laid cor- nerstone for church at Que- bec opened May 142!
