Again, Lack Ot Money

Some time ago the Central Ad- visory, Committee on Education in the Atlantic Provinces reported that up to 50 per cent of able students in the area did not continue in higher education. This report has been amended as a result of a more com-

While commending _ provincial highway departments on their con- certed efforts to standardize highway signs throughout the country, the Association suggests that a great ser- vice would be performed if simular

The Dupuis Case It is suggested in a Liberal news- paper that Mr. Pearson's refusal to say anything abou’ the circumstances

If these assumptions are correct, | perhaps the place to look for a state- | ment to Clear the situation would be the provincial government of Que- bec, rather than the Prime Minister's | ‘office. But how, in that case, account for the fact that Mr. Pearson said he had asked Mr. Dupuis to leave his cabinet? Mr. Dupuis says he left of his own choice, and had himself ask- | ed for an RCMP investigation; but | that isn't the way his federal leader chose to make the announcement.

That is why an explanation is be- ing demanded from the Prime Min- ister, and why Parliament will insist on getting it when it meets.

Most of the able students who did go on to university, teachers’ colleges or a nursing school, did undertake some further training, generally of a vocational kind; but in all but a very few cases this train- ing lasted for only a year or less.

In a letter to the House of Com- mons Speaker, Mrj Depuis says he intends making an #xplanation there on a point of privilege. “I base my | point of privilege,’ he states, “on | false declarations or interpretations | which have been given in certain | circles on the circumstances of my | ‘and which, in my view,

Seat Belt Case

In Wisconsin recently, a woman sued for injuries suffered in an | automobile accident. Although :the~ car she was riding in was equipped with seat belts, at the time of the accident she had not been wearing | one. The judge reminded the jury that, according to Wisconsin law, new cars sold in the state must have seat belts. “It must follow that the legislature intended that thesé belts be used,” he added.

The jury found the woman neg- ligent for not using her belt and | deducted 10 per cent from the damages awarded her.

This, comments an exchange, | was the first time a jury had been asked to take the use of seat belts | into account. The jury’s decision to do so may well set a precedent. | If so, many drivers who refuse to | wear seat belts to protect their lives may buckle up to protect their pocket books. *

An interesting suggestion for a permanent tribute to Sir Winston Churchill has” been heard on Parliament Hill.

But, say the proposers, by vot- ing thus to honor the name Churchill, the House of Com- mons would automatically vote Gordon Churchill out of the House, and his departure is one
