Adult Bu .u at curbl That Pensions Boost Good lurk in Welfare Minister Wedge and Provincial Treasurer Farmer in Iheir efforts. at the feti- oral-prtivint . conference next week. i to have the Po; son Government inl- plement immediately its promised i $10 increase, in old age pensions. They mnv he joined in this request ‘ by represclltiltivcs of some of the ‘ other provinces. However. the chan-

o

oea are that our old age pensioners will havh to wait for this bonus. at least until around the first of next Year. ‘ That is what Federal Health Minister .ludy Lallarsh has indicat- ed. and both she and Prime Minis- ter Pearson hare insisted thnt Lih- etal campaign pledges did not in- volve anv immediate increase in these payments. It is part of an overall plan for a national contribu- tory (and cnmpuiso j) scheme which will depend on contributions of up ‘ to two per rent of earnings of about . 7.000.000 i‘ilnadinn contributors to cover benefits up to HHS—assum- ing the people of Ontario and Quea hec are not contracted out of the plan. if they do not participate it is doubtful if the scheme would he,

cconomirally fcasibic. ‘

The Island delegation to the Ot- . laws. conference has been instruct— i ed to seek full details (if the federal ‘ plan. It is to provide such details [ that the meeting is being call- ed. Our Island delegates will prnhs ably not he the only ones who w particularly want. to know how a national scheme of this kind can be financed on the basin of two per cent of earnings—one per cent. from the employee. the other from the em- ployer.

As pointed out by Mr. Wedge in his interview yesterday. the cost of the United Statcs plan is much high- er than this. But as we, understand it. the Pearson (iorcrnmcnt proposal is not an attempt to duplicate th- American system hilt r n t h e r u scheme to retain the Canadian flat- vate pensions and built u contribu- tory pension on top of it. Thus. the flat-rate pension of 365 would con- tinue to he financed by taxes—3 per cent. of corporation income and 3 per cent of imports and manufact- urers' sales.

Under the new scheme contri- hutions would start from employees and employers in October. 1964. at the earliest. The Government would then start paying benefits. related to the length and amount of con- tributions. For those who th no chance to contribute. the liat-rute pensions would be boosted to $75 monthly.

This. as we llay. is how we under stand it. It's a complicated matter. and perhaps we've gotten it all wrong. In any use it would seem that I great many voters got the impression. from Liberal campaign- ers in the last election. that the 310‘ boost; in old age pensions would be paid promptly. regardless of how long it took to bring the rest of the eohcme into effect. It won't do any harm to remind Mine LaMarsh of this It the coming confarence.

The Florida Plan

The unprecedented problem mated by the record high school land-m It Prince of Wales Col- ”. In one which schools and col- le... m facing across the country. H .fl tn the llnited States as well. It

It luck not only of increased

‘ ' but of greater npprecin-

r the need for education. and

«fraud is to be welcomed.

In. mounting cost of keeping ' r r Mon is forcing gov-

Immenta to take a new look at the msaihilliled of using more adequate- ly the facilities they have.

The latest program to be plun- ned along this line is in the state 0! Florida. where the authoritiu hsvs announced that there will be A school year of ii months with both Saturday and evening classes: yet neither teachers nor atudanta will attend more than a normal school year. Fevler barriers will block the childs progress and both muscles and mind are to be kept busy.

l'ndcr the Flor-id: plan each subject is to be treated as an en- tity. other than social studies where there is grouping according to age and normal grade level. The school year will commence today and con- tinue until August 9 with the inter- val divided into three 75-day terms called trimesters. The first is Sep- tember ii to December 2. the second January 7 to April 23. and the third in two parts. April 29 to June 14 and June 17 to August 9. The young- sters must attend the first two and the first of the third with the bal- ance optional.

Pupils do not fail a subject. they just keep on with it until they are competent to go on in the next grade. There is no grade skipping because they are always working at their

own achievement level. Vacations may be during Summer or Fall as best suits. There are no accelerated classes since they move along as they progress. There is no pushing children ahead since they must spend a full eight calendar years in com- pleting the first eight grades and also attend 20 trimesters.

The svstem will give grea t e 1- use oi facilities by more students, i and many social activities will be l diverted to allow more genuine l school work. The achievement stand- l urd is expected to be better and l more uniform.

This should he an experiment. worth watching. analyzing, and prof- iting from.

Fish Flour Research

of interest to those concerned with fish processing possibilities here is the latest news about the production of high-protein fish flour for export to developing countries. It comes from Edinburgh, where the sixth International Congress on Nu- trition was held recently. and where over 1.80n delegates from 55 coun- tries saw loaves of bread containing the protein powder, And 5 h 0 w e d great interest in the product.

The display was put on by a Scottish firm—the Caiedonlon Fish Meal Company of Aberdeen—which claims it can produce the powder cheap enough to sell at 2d (about 2 cents) an ounce. Half an ounce is considered sufficient to meet the protein needs of one person for 24 hours.

Research on the powder. refined by n secret process from ordinary fish meal. has taken 20 years. The product has an 80 per cent protein content. and its presence in neutral- tasting food is barely detectable ex- cept by color. In spiced foods or curry dishes its presence is entirely camouflaged.

News of the process he: given a considerable fillip to Scotland’s fish- ing industry which has long hoped for a profitable method of using fish hy-products. The Scottish firm has been given backing by the Brit- ish White Fish Authority. and is confident that its product will find a growing market overseas.

As the firm's manager told the nutrition congress. "if we can pro- duce food for nnlmals from this source. as we now do. then we should also be producing it as quickly as possible (or human beings.”

EDITORIAL NOTES

According to Ontario Liberal Leader John Wintermeyer. the hip‘ popotamus “is a perfect symbol of the Tory Party in Ontario today— fat. flabby and yawning." As tho Hamilton Spectator says. Mr. Win- terrneyer may have to eat those words. especially if he didn't smile when he slid them.
