Sir.-cc hc has chosen to lecture us on the .-ulrject. of responsibility, it may be in order to ask how much of . this qlléllllji he has shown on this point. Wliat. jorecisely, was the na- ture of his “complete and thorough in\w~«:i i__c.-it ion" into the complaints of other (ll.-’('l'lmlll.'1tOl‘y incidents? How did he succcccl in launching and dis- po.<ir.g of it with such astonishing celoi'i‘r.\'? Who were the witnesses he i;‘.‘*€l'l'ng:‘:ll(;‘(l, and what precautions tliil he take to get ' disinterested c\'irlonce? lliuhly as we regard the position Mr. Steuurt occupies under the Crown. we may tell him that we are as much concerned about the good name of this Province, about its in- terests. iotirist-\x'ise and from every other sl;m(lpoin'.', as he is. We have been lon;:er in our role of serving the public in our capacity than he has been in his. We have endeavored to (ll.\‘(.‘ll‘Al‘£‘(’, our duties as faithfully, and we shall continue doing so, with or without his good opinion but pref- erahl_v—of com-.~e—in as cordial a relationship with him as we can maintain. If he knows‘ anything about re- spon;-‘iblc journalism, however, he should know that while it has been associated with every reform which this country has achieved, its popu- larity with the "powers that be” has not iufreo_uently been in inverse ratio to the public service it renders. When Parliament Meets If Liberal Leader Pearson insists. on forcing a non-confidence vote against the Dietenbakér government when Parliament meets, he is un- likely to get support from the New Democmtic l“.'1rty. This is how we b interpret the statement of the NDP leader, Mr. T.C Douglas, in counsel- V ' lng against an early general election. It would be irresponsible, he says. 7 V for Opposition parties to force one with the country in its present state -—-unless, _the gcvernment falls to ' cope with the situation.

But Mr. Doug- ‘l-.l,aa:\statement indicates that he is “want ycliunlrls to . not prepared to make a snap judg- ment’.alf.thla"tlma.

Perhaps he shares Mr. Pearson's conviction that it will hang anyway, but he wants the for- malities to be duly observed. So, when that motion comes up that Mr. Pearson says he’s going to move, it will be interesting to see how the jury splits. The Conserva- tives, if they play their cards well, should be able to come out on top, for the time being at least. It will be a situation that would have intrigued the late Prime Minister Mackenzie King, who was a master at this kind of manoeuvering. Mr. Diefenbaker, they say, has studied his whole bag of tricks, and may come up with some new ones of his own when the House meets. Whichever way it goes, he’s likely to remain the star per- former at this session. Tkllwe Lost MacDonalds ere are some lost MacDonalds somewhere, and the Cape Breton Post hazards the guess that Cape Breton Island would seem a likely place for the search to be intensified. Well, there may be a few of them here in Prince Edward Island, too, so we’d better explain what it is all about. It's the Clan Donald Society of Scotland that's looking for them. It seems that there were 20 families, mostly from the Hebridean islands of North and South Uist, Harris and Skye, who held lands in these is- lands. An appeal for help in locating the descendants has gone forth from the society's secretary, who lives in a. place named Benbecula. The secretary reports that the search for the lost MacDonald clansmen has been going on for some time, but only four families have so far been traced—one from North Uist and three from Skye. The de- scendants of these families who at one time had estates in Heisker off North Uist and Dunvegan in Skye have been traced in North America and Australia, where they emigrated about 80 years ago. Others have not been heard of for nearly 200 years, but the society he- lieves that many more can be traced if the word of the search is spread amongst all MacDonalds whose fore- bears migrated from the Hebrides to various parts of the world. Hidden Business Tax A study by the Canadian Tax Foundation of the records of 129 companies showed the firms to pay an average of $65,000 annually for the bookkeeping involved in their various taxing duties. Of this amount, $48,000 is spent on com puting and paying the company's own income tax, sales and excise taxes, customs duties, municipal property and business taxes, and other levies. But the remaining $17,- 000 is spent collecting, the taxes owed by others, including the income taxes of employees and retail sales taxes. The companies studied employed an average of 11 or 12 extra employees to handle this bookkeeping. The Globe and Mail. Toronto, yes out a strong case for in- igation by the Royal Commis- now being appointed into the equity, efficiency and constitution- ality of this method of tax collect- ing. The expenses referred to are in addition to those incurred oy business in performing other duties for the Government—-collecting in- formation for the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, for example, or pre- paring briefs and submissions in connection with applications for var- ious licenses to do business. EDITORIAL NOTES The Police Association of On- tario has raised an interesting point. It is that a police officer chasing a speeding car could be charged with careless driving. The premise there is that two wrongs do not make a right—-or do they? I! it II Russia's obsession with secrecy A is always good for chuckles in the west.

OLD ROCKING CHAlR'5 GOT ME OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson Here And There About The Capital The Moscow Circus, which selected Canada for its first vi- sit to North America, opened its tour in Ottawa last week. It es- tablished itself at once as a “must” for every circus buff. It is predominantly a human cir- cus, with skilled and courage- ous men and women gaily earn- ing the generous and almost non-stop applause of Ottawa's enthusiastic audience. But the trained bears of Valentin Fila- tov stole the show. Riding mo- tor-bikes and scooters, roller- skating, boxing, juggling and acrobating, they excelled. Even as bicyclists they are so much more adroit than Ottawan mes- sengers that Bunny Pound, that V.I.P. among secretaries on Parliament Hill, went back stage and had a close look to see if they were real bears. or men sewn into bear skins. A government official sent an order to the manager of that Russian circus: “During their stay in Canada, the animals will not be allowed to mingle with Canadian animals.” Afraid the Banff bears might learn to ride bicycles, and clutter up the Trans-Canada Highway? SOCIETY HIGHLIGHTS Devotees of the columns which relate the trivialities of the not so trivial personalities have had two good laughs here lately. “The German Ambassador and Mrs. Siegfried have return- ed to Canada from Murray Bay. P.Q.” announced one newspap- er. So Quebec did separate. “Hon. Pierre Sevigny, Associ- ate Minister of National De- fence, and Mr. Sevigny enter- tained at a cocktail party last evening." said another news- paper. Who “wears the pants" in that family? From Quebec we hear talk of adding a slogan to the pro- vince’s automobile licence plat- es, the slogan to be appropri- ately: “Quebec - La Belle Pro- vince." New Brunswick plates carry the slogan “Picture Pro- vlnce," but on the wh e we unimaginatively leave this evi- dence of civic pride and sales- manship to our friends in USA. Licence plates commonly noted on Parliament Hill this summer include: “Illinois - Land of Lin- coln.” “District of Columbia - The Nation's Capital,” “New Jersey - Garden State" and “AI- abama - Heart of Dixie." CANADIANISM TOO EASY? When Parliament reassemb- les.. some alert M.P. may prompt an enquiry into the ba- sis upon which Canadian citizen- ship ls granted to immigrants. One such as quoted as saying “I will always be I00 per cent Italian. My taking out Canadian immigration papers is a for- mality." These words have been widely attributed to the film ac- tress Gina Lollobrigida, who liv- ed briefly in Toronto, had a street named after her, then re- turned whence she came —per- haps never to return. We would welcome the lovely lady as a fellow citizen, but we would sur- ely not welcome Canadianism being used as a public conven- 9 e Dr. Lotta Hitschmanova. the dedicated Executive Director of the Unitarian Service Commit- tee of Canada, has just launch- ed its appeal for 300,000 “Friend- ship Dollars." This worthy year- ly good deed will as usual sup- port any projects in the world's needy countries such as feeding starving children, cloth- ing the ragged, and training the ignorant. Doctor Lotta is also asking Canadian women to send to her Ottawa headquarters ba- sic clothing for the destitute: the U.S.C’s “Operation Bountiful” needs layettes, cardigans, blan- kets and warm practical cloth- ing of all kinds. OUR COPYRIGHT? some printers who were paid to print voters’ lists at the re- cent federal election are selling extra copies of those lists to mail order houses and the like. Accurate up-to-date lists of na- mes and addresses of house- holders are thus made availab- le at minimum cost to promot- ers who wish to mail circulars. Complaints have been made about this practice, on the grounds that this is an infringe- ment of the citizen's privacy, and that the voters lists are pre- pared for official use at public expense, and should not be thus made available for commercial purposes. Uneasy Nostalgia By Alan Harvey Canadian Press Staff Writer There'll be many a moist eye and sad heart when Common- wealth prime ministers gather next w e e k in Marlborough House. Like schoolboys when the summer h 01 i d a y s are over. statesmen will be afflicted with an uneasy nostalgia, an impres- sion that things are unlikely ever to be the same again. This will apply particularly to the so—called white domimions-— Canada. Australia and New Zea- land—-and the United Kingdom. All are apprehensive that Brit- ain's bid to enter the European Economic Community marks a climacteric in Commonwealth affairs. As ministers assemble in the opulent conference room over- looking the mall, around a 38- foot-long table of glowing red rlbimga wood from Africa. even the most convlned European may feel a tremor of regret for the changing Commonwealth.

RETIREMENT is for th 0 s a who prepare for it" was and continues to be a good adage. The welfare state has taken care of e financial aspects for many but more than a monthly check is necessary to make e ma- jority of retired persons happy. They must prepare to enjoy their leisure time. Some Industries are taking I positive approach to this aspect of retirement by conducting lec- tures on how to prepare for those years after 64. Employee of -50 to 55 are invited to attend and in some instances. the wife also is asked. The teachers are said to be experts along this line and ‘discuss personal ad- justments, health, work and let- sure, living arrangements, in n d finances. These different facets of retirement are mentioned be- cause more than a hobby is needed to be happy in the let- sure years. Retirement should not be _ a roleless period. On several oc- caslons we have said the indi- vidual is happiest when he retir- es to something. This applies to most of us. including men and women’ who welcome retirement as a release from an uninterest- lng Job. - It is important to indulge in some advance thinking on the subject to prevent it from be- coming a useless period. T h l 3 may mean a new but less ex- asperating job or moving to more pleasant surroundings near relatives or friends. Others will enjoy the freedom to stroll, read, observe, or do whatever they want to. Constructive, self- satisfying activities make the retiree feel useful and needed. The saddest group are those who retire to nothing. These in- dividuals come from the top as well as the bottom of the industrial ladder and spend their time dwelling on what they retired from -— position. wa- ges, and companionship. They could have used a little advance guidance. Preparation for retirement ought to be started years he- forehand because many of the wonderful things in life take time to appreciate. A man who never has read a book, made a garden, or gone to a concert cannot bank on enjoying these things the week after his 65th birthday. The seed of interest must be cultivated thru training a n (1 education, starting w ell ahead of the change. The need for good health also must be appreciated.
