in the second half of the schedule all rained out games will be played at a later date rather than splitting the points as has been the case in the first half of the season report from parliament by michael starr mp in recent days i have been receiving cards presumably from the employees of general motors and other automobile subsidiary plants these cards are to the effect that there has been an increasing number of united statesmade motor vehi cles and parts imported into canada this trend has become a threat to the livelihood of workers in canadas automotive and parts industries it is noted that not many years ago because of british commonwealth trade preferen ces canada exported a substan tial part of its auto production today the trend is the opposite it shows that 27392 passenger cars- valued at somewhere in the neighbourhood of 59 million were imported from the united states in 1955 compared to 3154 imported cars in 1950 a great many of these cars were form erly made by canadian workers from canadian parts on july 12th i queried rt hon c d howe sllnister of trade and commerce and inquired as to what action tlie government was taking on this matter his reply was that the government was looking into the whole sit uation it will be interesting to note the decision the govern ment will arrivexat when they have investigated the matter thoroughly although the out- 1 put was accelerated at the be- 1 agreements presented by the ginning of his year the figures i provinces and the opposition for the first half of this year members in the house of com- the house of commons is slowly wading its way through the estimates of various depart ments and in between have tackled a number of government bills and resolutions amongst the most important of these has been a resolution in the name of the minister of finance for a bill having to do with federal- provincial fiscal agreements the debate on the resolution lasted for two days and will con tinue when the bill itself is pre sented for second reading tlie three opposition parties attacked the agreements with a great deal of vigour claiming that the mon etary contribution by the federal government was niggardly and did not go far enough to help the provinces and through them the municipalities in their finan cial problems regarding educa tion and services with which they are being faced at the pres ent time there is no question that the municipalities in particular are in desperate straits as far as finding sources of revenue to maintain their educational stan dards in their communities as well as to provide services for iheexpanding development and population from the attitude of the government it is quite apparent that they are unwilling to relinquish any of their taxing fields and are unreccptive to the show that motor vehicle output was 277821 as compared with 281007 last year this is a slight decrease from last year and the months in which the decreases occurred were june slarch and february shipments of canadianmade mons another important matter which has been discussed and still is under consideration is lthe estimates of the department of national defence the british government are planning to save some 5150 million in de fence expenditures and it is felt goodwood sirs les meyers the goodwood womans as sociation spent a very enjoyable afternoon last thursday when

reeve wm newman advised pickering township council on slonday evening that he had learned from the township en gineer that the cost to th town ship of operating their own crusher brought costs higher than if the crushing was done by outside commercial plants sir newman said our gravel produced in our own crusher av erages 52c to 56c cost while commercial plants will do the job for 45c to 50c the matter arose from a dis cussion over the necessity of purchasing one or two new trucks the reeve stated that the budget would not stand the pur chase but suggested that it might be wise to dispose of the small township crusher and seek permission from the highways department to transfer the funds to the purchase of a truck the matter was left for the return of the engineer from his holi days grant to pool after some discussion over community sponsored parks and swimming pools a resolution received unanimous approval giving 200 to the east wood lands community association to helyp defray the expense of a well to supply a community- owned swimming pool any thing that we can do we should to encourage these community projects declared reeve new man hardship or no t council discussed at some length the advisability of con tinuing to collect a 300 de posit with each building permit to assure the municipality that the owner does not live in a cellar or occupy his dwelling before completion mrs mcpherson councillor suggested that the 300 was a hardship to young people trying to build homes its not as much hardship as an occupancy permit would be said reeve newman arent we getting past the stage of development where a deposit is needed asked dep utyreeve lawson everything we do could be said to create a hardship but we believe as a council that these things are necessary said councillor scott no definite action was taken to change- the present deposit system license driving teachers a bylaw to license persons teaching motor vehicle drivers and regulating equipment used was
