nounced. As Premier Shaw says, the meeting is mainly to provide ‘‘an in- formal opportunity for all of us to discuss mutual problems.” These mat- ters cover a wide range, including federal-provincial fiscal relations and ways of applying a united front to many of the cost-sharing, welfare and educational programs; the effective ness of ARDA and other federal schemes for the Atlantic region;

freight-rates assistance in the light of

pending legislation based on the Mac- Pherson Royal Commission re por t; offshore mineral rights, and the ex- panding activities of the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council.

The social amenities which go.

with the conference will contribute to_ the success we all hope it will achieve. Despite the shortage of time, we trust that these will not have to be unduly curtailed. Without them, indeed, it wouldn’t be a Charlottetown conference at all.

Those Proud Pollsters

. It will come as a surprise to most Canadians, but according to Byrne Hope Sanders, director of the Cana-

' dian Institute of Public Opinion, “‘any

experienced researcher will agree that the Gallup Poll’s report on pre- election party standings was a sound one.” That flop the pollsters made in predicting a clear Liberal majority, he means? Critis who talk that way, says Mr. Sanders, “reveal their lack of knowledge of the principle and problems involved in this aspect of research.” .

So there it is. The findings of his organization, this ex pert explains, were based on interviewing five days before the election. At that time ‘no evidencé was found for any increase in Conservative strength. Thus what must have been a marginal turn to the Tories in the last few days re- sulted in an underestimate of their strength, with a corresponding over- estimate for the Liberals.”

How do we know the sampling wasn’t all haywire from the ‘start? Because Mr. Sanders says so. He goes ‘on to explain that “any last- minute turns to jone or another of the parties are reflected in the haz- ards of political pre-election report- ing.” Political research established five days ahead of the vote can be “very difficult.” “The sample reveals attitudes of all eligible voters; yet, normally about oné-quarter of the electorate does not bother to vote.

Moreover, in the actual interviewing, |

although most respondents will report the brand of soap they buy, the car they like best, or the publication they prefer, a significant segment of the electorate is: always-undecided as to which party it will vote for—often until the final moment of truth in the polling booth.”

Still another segment “refuses to state its voting intentions, while an-

again last week, in announcing that he is planning for a White House civil-rights conference next spring. He noted that while more than 200,000 Negroes have been registered under the 1965 Voting Rights Act, many hundreds of thousands have not; and he added:

“This is a challenge not only to government, but to Negro leadership. I urge you to work around the clock. _Tell those who have been barred from | the polls that a new day has come, that at last they may have a voice in shaping their own destinies. That voice will be heard from the sheriff's office to the Congress—but orly if it is used.”

Again, the President denounced as “a national shame” the way a vast majority of Negro children are schooled, housed and fed. “Millions are trapped in ghettos and shanties— discouraged and hopeless,” he said.

“They will be as far from sharing in |

the promise of America as if they inhabited another planet. A guarantee of job is useless to a man who cannot read an application. A college scholar-

out of school in the eighth grade. The promise of new schools is useless to a man who doesn’t believe in the

a child who cannot study, or whose eyes cannot recognize what he sees...”

The President of the United States said that, and more, on the subject; but he didn’t end on that

with the Negro American on this mid- November evening,” he declared. “Neither the ignorant violence of the Klan nor the despairing'of Watts can reverse it.” a As a follow-up to this: assurance, he announced that Congress in Janu-

white juries.” ; Who can doubt that the “‘tide of

right direction under leadership of

According to a survey conducted by the British Motor Corporation of Canada, there is a lot of silly self- esteem behind the male thinking that women are less efficient than men be- hind the wheel of an automobile. Women have been found to learn their driving more quickly and with fewer mistakes than men. They re- ceive fewer speeding tickets and think faster in an emergency. In an acci-
