In 1947. Mr. Speaker Fauteux present- ed to the House of Commons a report recommending many changes - none of which was adopted. There were special committees in 1950. 1951, 1952 and 1953. all of which failed to agree. The Beaudoin com.ml'ttee was appointed in the session of 1954 and after much discussion was unable, in that year, to agree upon more than a request for reappointment this year:

THE VICTORIA CAUSEWAY

Sir.-Tlie election is over. me sniuke of battle has rolled away. and i hope by now we have all got back to normalcy. So much so. that we may be able to de- vote our minds to the best in- terests of our community, and its future welfare rather than to any thoughts of personal gain. A few years ago when the route of the Trans-Canada Highway was being considered. Crapaud and Hampton were well looked after. but for some strange reason the beautiful village of Victoria not only re- ceived very little if any benefit from the said highway but the through line of transportation which its citizens had enjoyed for close to a hundred years was taken away from them by the closing of Victoria bridge. As a result the business of the village received a severe set-back. Itfs not hard to see now that this was a mistake. but the mistakes of the past may sometimes be used to right the wrongs of the future. p I feel that that would be pos- sible in this case. The construc- tion of that splendid causeway at North River is ample demonstra- tion that this type of bridge will be more widely used in the future.

Such I causeway at Victoria would not only provide a suitable roadway. but it would also turn the Westmorelandv River into I lake, suitable for boating. bathing and gfishlng. with all the possi- bilities for future expansion of the tourist industry.

Record Year

By Patrick Nicholson

The Minister of Trade has an-' nounced that the value of goods and services produced in Canada in the first three months of this year was nearly 5 per cent above last year's achievement.

Canada's economy seems now to be headed for a record year. With momentum still gathering, we may well roll up an achieve- ment which is not only a record. but which exceeds the carefully considered estimate upon which Finance Minister Walter Harris based his Budget. -

At the same time. the Dominion Bureau of Statistics has ieleased its study of Canada's accounts for last year.

The average personal income in 1954. across Canada. was 81,212.

A little of this was saved: some was deducted in direct taxes; the balance was spent on goods and services. Our total buying per- haps ran even higher through the machinery of instalment pur- chases

0 O O

The I v e r a 3 e expenditure of goods and services was 31.045 per Canadian - man. woman and child. Total taxes collected direct- ly and indirectly by the Federal. Provincial and Municipal govern- ments amounted to an average of 5461 per Canadian. :86 of this was deducted directly from wages and salaries; the greater part was collected indirectly. either by taxes concealed in the prices of our purchases in stores. nr by other taxes which were passed on to the consumer.

Compared to this personal tax bill of 8461 each. the average Can- adian spent 3274 on the cost of I home. 3258 on food. 3122 on run- ning I car or buying other trans-

advocating repairs to the old bridge. This would be I mistake and can only emlnate from sel- fish interests rather than I de- sire for the future welfare of the community. Repairs to the old bridge in its present state would be very costly and would call for constant expenditure for future uplte while a causeway. when once constructed. would require very little for future maintenance. This is a matter for the better thinking citizens of Victoria to decide for themselves. You are entitled to the beat that modern construction can provide. and should be satisfied with nothing less.

As Saturday is I half holiday anyway. would it not be well for business houses to remain clos- ed on Saturday morning. thus en- abling our citizens to enjoy I short holiday. and in those three

Looking at this another way. the average Canadian spent 5112 on durable goods such as a car jewellery and watches. home furn-' ishings. radio receivers and simi- lar home appliances. and silver- ware. S592 aent on non-durable goqds. such as this newspaper. cigarettes. and milk and. eggs. And 5341 went on services at home or tourism out of Canada.

According to the record. it was the leanest year of the past four for businesses. Corporation pru- fits were lower than in each of the three previous year.

But in spite of this. Canadians generally could afford to spend more than in any of those three previous years on their homes. their food. their health and their vices (smoking and drinking onlyl.

So in most material ways. Can- adians never had it so good: in spite of increased unemployment during the winter. there were - paradoxically - even then more jobs than ever before. and at high- er wages.

That figure of total tax col-' lections -- 3461 per Canadian - raise s this thought: Canadians had it good last year; but. with- out ihe expense of Government. we could each have afforded to have it half as good again.

This commentary on the high and rising cost of government is driven home by the report tabled in the Senate last wekk by the Crerar or watchdog committee's report on Government Expendi- tures. This Committee is without doubt the highlight of the Senate's year: its chairman. Senator Thom- as Crerar. As a former. Liberal Cabinet Minister. he knows how a government could and should oper- ate.

; Rust-Resistant Wheat

A srries or tests Ihiii winter may provide Canadian farmers with a new strain of wheat resistant to all know form: of rust. Dr. R. F.
