Changes In Place Names
I I By RICHARD DAIGNAULT
Canadian Press Staff Writer QUEBEC (CP) — The Quebec
' government plans to set up a gov- =I ernmental I changing place names in Quebec
body to. advise on
to help preserve the French char- acter.
The legislature, however, isn't waiting for the proposed advisory body to be set up.
The private bills committee al- ready has passed a bill to lop off “falls” from Shawinigan Falls, an industrial centre in the St. Maurice valley midway between Montreal and Quebec City. It also approved a bill trimming "de- Sale” from the municipality of St. Francois - de - Sale on Ile‘ Jesus
; near Montreal.
But opposition to both measures indicates any group that delves into the tangled question may

How soon the government will move is not known. But the head of ‘Quebec's geography commit- tee, Isaie Nanta-is, is 70 and due to retire this year. The committee classifies place names and stud- ies their historical background.
The work of revising Quebec names would be a tall order. NAMES INCONGRUOUS
Quebec has some of the most incongruous p l a c 2 names in North America: \
St. Damase - de - MacNider, St. Leonard d’Aston, Notre-Dame-de- Lourdes - de - Ham—m-ixtures of Roman Catholic holy names with names of places in England—St. Mathias-de-Cabano, St. Joseph- de - Kamouraska — mixtures of Roman C I t h o I l c and Indian names. _ '
It has some baffling repetitive names such as Ste. Made1eine-de- la - Riviere - Madeline and St.
Pierre - et - St. Paul - de - laBaie-
St. Paul. It has some fine sounding names such as St. Louis - du-
Ha!Hal and St. Joach~im-de-Trou- elle. And it has a few that usually draw a lugh among French-Cana- dians, such as St. Stanislas-de-la- Riviere-des-Envies.
Some localities are named St. Jerusalem, St. Moise and St. Cyriaque. Cyriaque, was the name of a Montagnais Indian. St. Moise was named after a parish priest —- Moise Duguay -—- who founded a colony there in Mata- pedia County. .
A perusal of sources on the ori- gins of place names sl :~,ws there -is a story or a per: .age con- nected with each.

There is no question of whole-
sale changes. But it is probable
LONDON (Reuters) Argu- ments raged in Britain Tuesday over the new “Mona Lisa-style" portrait of Princess Margaret “Lovely," said some, after ex- amining foot-long reproductions in the newspapers. “Not a bit like her,” huffed others. The portrait, by Italian artist Pietro Annigoni, gives the Prin- cess a slight, inscrutable smile similar to the famous Mona Lisa painting by Leonardo Da Vinci. The face of the 27-year-old Prin- cess is plumper than photographs usually show. PERFECT LIKENESS
The Evening Star says the face is almost a perfect likeness but
more closely.
As a rule, even relatively young populations are stubborn about name changes. When Knob Lake. a new mining community in the Ungava region, was changed to Schefferville after Msgr. Lionel Scheffer, Roman Catholic apos- tolic vicar in Labrador, many residents continued to call it Knob Lake.‘
When Shawinigan Falls peti- tioned the legislature to drop the word “Falls,” protests were filed by the local chamber of com- merce and the Civic Action League.
Opposition to the change from St. Francois - de - Sale to St. Francois was comparatively less but a lawyer representing a group of farmers said they wanted to’ keep the traditional name. The committee turned‘*down the re- quest.
In recent years, there have been several changes of place names, most of them an improve- ment over past appellations—St. Leonard - de - Port - Maurice be- came Ville d’Anjou in 1956. But sometimes the trend went the other way—Clarenceville became St. Georges-de-Clarenceville. NAMES TELL STORY
The place names of Quebec tell something of the, province’s his- tory. The large number of Eng- lish names in the Eastern Town- ships stems from the fact Em- pire Loyalists settled there dur-ing the American Revolution. The area b e c a in e predominantly French-speaking later, hence the combination of Roman Catholic holy names and English names.
Mr. Duplessis has made clear that no place name in Quebec would change unless the views of all groups had. been carefully ex- amined. Any historic names such as Sherbrooke — after Sir John Sherbrooke, governor of Canada- would likely remain untouched.

objects to “the bony salt-cellars and thin shoulders” of the figure. The newspaper says the eyes are “rather ordinary with none of (the Princess’) usual lively ex- pression.”
The most-scathing comments come from The Daily Telegraph, which finds the left arm and the fingers of the left hand “thor- oughly badly painted” and the composition stilted.
“Those who know Annigoni’s work will recognize with cynicism that his interpretation of Princess Margaret differs little from that of certain other sitters," the Tele- graph says.
The artist also has painted por- traits of the Queen and Prince Philip. Art critics praised the first and generally panned the second.
SOME APPLAUSE
In contrast, The Daily Mail ap- plauds the “large, luminous eyes and that witty, fleshy mouth.”
The painting shows Margaret dressed in a plain white gown with her fands holding a dark stole which slipped from her left shoulder. She is outlined by a green bower and a rosy cloud. ‘ The Princess is shown without Jewels and with her hair upswept in a style she wore last spring. The._portrait required 21 sittings last year. ;
“I have painted the “Princess as a woman of mystery not com- pletely understood by anyone,” Annigoni was quoted as saying. DIFFICULT INTERPRETATION
“The princess has so many moods -—_ sometimes sad, some- times smiling, sometimes myster- ious. It was very difficult for -me to get the right interpretation.”
The picture became overnight the favorite topic bf British con- versation. The Princess and other members of the Royal Family

dent of La Banque Canadienne; Nationale (N a t i o n a l Cana- dian Bankl, said Tuesday.
Foreign investment in Canada, Mr. St. Pierre told the bank's an- nual meeting, totals $16,000,000,- 000, of which the United States accounts for $l1,500,000,000.
The dependence of the Cana- dian economy on outside capital is a matter of concern for gov- ernment and business alike.
“Our country, where formation of capital‘ is of comparatively re- cent date, needs foreign financial co-operation to develop its poten- tial resources,” he added.
“But this contribution does not consist of loans, the repayment of which would, some day, free us from all liabilities. It is mostly made up of equity shares; that is, title to ownership. Hence the fact that close to 60 per cent of our main industries and too large a
under development belong to for- eign interests. U.S'. POLICY THREA-TENS
“Moreover, our chances of gradually recuperating this share of our common inheritance are jeopardized by the unwillingness of big American corporations to make ‘available to Canadians equity stock of their Canadian subsdiaries.
“Statistics show that we'have supplied 60 per cent of the capital invested in this country in 1956. This proportion would be much higher should we concentrate our financiai resources at home in- stead of diverting a large part of our available funds for invest- ment abroad.
“This is evidenced by the fact that Canadian investments in the United States amount to $2,500,-

Wants Return To Double Taxation
OTTAWA (CP) —- John Winter- meyer, financial critic for the Liberal opposition in the Ontario legislature, called Wednesday for a return to federal-provincial dou- ble taxation.
In a speech to the national Lib- eral convention, he said the prov- inces should levy their own direct taxes—-on personal and corpora- tion income——and that the federal government should do the same.
The constitution gives the fed- eral and provincial governments equal rights to collect in the tax field. Under current tax-sharing arrangements the federal govern- ment allows certain deduc-tions from its ownlncome taxes to en- able provinces to share part of that field without the imposition of double taxation upon taxpay- ers.
The Kitchener lawyer said in a speech: to the national Liberal convention that the -tax-sharing agreements under which the prov- inces now rent out those fields to the federal government are “equitable and just." But running its own financial house would en- able each provincial government to set its own “objectives and initiatives."
