E32 4 ruuiiiiv. MAY 3.767 Prime Minister's Visit Prime Minister St. Laurent will be

lottetown today. His visit is regret- ably brief, not permitting him to address a public meeting. Regardless of politics. our citizens rejoice that he is in such vigorous health, and no doubt they would turn out in large numbers to hear him had his itinerary permitted of such an ar. rangement.

It will he recalled that on his last visit here on Dominion Day, 1953, the Prime Minister interrupted his political campaign to visit Con-

i federation Chamber. In an address

from the balcony of the Provincial Building which was broadcast across the country. be avoided party poli- tics and gave an inspiring review of our development as a nation. He pointed out the progressive steps by which we attained our independent : status which culminated officially in the Statute of Westminster, but which virtually had been achieved by our service forces in the First World War, and by the efforts of Sir Robert Borden who was Prime Minister at that time. Nor did he fail to acknowledge our debt to Great Britain down

" through the years. or to emphasize

the continuing ties of kinship and friendship with the mother land. He was at pains to stress the respon- sibilities as well as the rights of Canadian citizenship. pointing out that we must be prepared to face the implications which these respon- sibilities involve, both in Common- wealth affairs and in the larger sphere of United Nations activities. The sentiments voiced by Mr. St. Laurent still reflect, we believe, the feelings of a large majority of Canadians. Certainly they do in this Province, where we regard our Brit- ish ties with pride and gratitude. We feel no need of apologizing for, still less of condemning. Britain's motives or actions in defending her vital interests abroad, knowing well that her interests are our own, and those of free men everywhere. The Prime Minister helped us to an un- derstanding of these matters four years a o. and it is fitting that we should all his words today. They are, indeed, even more timely than when they were uttered on that occasion.

reduced by subdividing the land into triangular homestead: in villages of 16 families."

The first colonists will be made up of 75 families, divided equally among refugees. Scottish crofters and Canadian and American veter- ans and their families. These will be followed in due course by another 175 families. Later, additional set- tlers will be recruited with special emphasis on skills that do not al- ready exist in the colony. "A bal- anced, self-sufficient community" IS the goal. The colony will be financed at the outset through pants from private foundations, industry and governmental agencies. The initial income of the settlers will come from work done on community PP0l9CtS- A sales organization will be set up to market farm produce, most of which will go to Goose Bay and other military bases.

The name of this new experiment in planned living will be "Freedom". The report does not say when oper- ations are scheduled to begin, nor does it say who is to select the first recipients of its bounty.

Good Results

Some unpleasant disclosures have come out of the United States' Con- gressional hearings on corruption in labour unions. At the same time, they have produced some salutary results. The promptness with which the executive of the A.F.L.-C.I.O. acted to relieve Dave Beck, the Teamsters' President, of his Vice- Presidential post in the overall or- ganization and the clamour from the rank and file membership that he be brought to account for his irre- sponsibility provide evidence that the labour movement in general is awake to its responsibilitity to the public. Labour unions are very strong organizations these days. But they are not by any means a law unto themselves, nor can they afford to flout public opinion. Recent events have shown that they are fully aware of these things. The recog- nition will serve them well.

Meanwhile, it is good to hear from President Jodoin of the Can- adian Labour Congress that the greatest vigilance is kept on union affairs in this country and that any threat to any union's integrity and credit will be dealt with summarily and with resolution.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Judging by the "excellent recep- tions" reported by candidates of all parties. it would almost seem as though our election laws provided for multiple voting. There has not been a single report of a candidate's getting the cold shoulder

Israel recently observed the 9th anniversary of her founding as a sovereign nation. The years have not been particularly peaceful ones; but, despite all their trials and tribula- tions, the Israells seem to have fin- ally convinced their neighbors that the destruction of their country is a foolish dream.

Mr. Solon Low. national leader of the Social Credit Party, says that "within ten years there will be a real two-party system of govern- ment with Social Credit on one side and all the others on the other side". From the Social Credltors' point of view it would be a neat arrange- ment. But is extremely doubtful that "all the others" would help to bring it about.

OTTAWA REPORT

The Voter's Stake

By Patrick Nlcholaoa

How will your family spend 54.- 66240 on 10th June?

This large cash payment is the biggest single purchase the aver- age family Will make - until 1961 This sum of 34.662.-to Is the aver- age family's federal tax bill for the next four years, estimated on the basis of last year's figures.

On election day. l0th June, you will have the democratic right of selecting your delegate to the fed- eral parliament. and disburse those taxes. Depend- ing upon your choice, you tax bill may be larger than this estimat- ed figure. or smaller; it may be spent more wisely than in recent years. or with greater extrava- gance.

Your democratic right of choos- lng your own delegate to parlia- ment normally can be exercised only once every four years - when I general election is called. It is your duty as well as your privi- lege to give considerable thought as to how you will exercise your vote; it is then your duty to make sure that you do in fact rellster your vote. ..

At the last general election. in 1953. out of every 100 electors. 3!! voted for Liberal candidates. 34 voted against Liberal candl- dntes, and 33 did not bother to vote. Thus over 2.500.000 adult Ca- nadian ahowed no interest in the

expenditure of their tax contribu- tion: to the national budget.

There are welcome signs that a higher proportion of the voters are actively interested in this years' election. I-IATS BEFORE VOTES

Look again at that average fam-

ily-perhaps your family-which

will spend 84,662.40 in federal tax- es over the next four years. There are two astonishing points about you-

Flrst you are not aware of the immense size of your tax bill. You mistakenly believe that you pay very much less to Ottawa than you really do. ..

Second. judging by you apathy in 1949 and 1953. you give less con- slderalion to spending that huge

'sum of 84.66140 cash than your wife given to laying out five bucks on a new summer hat.

The second point is obvious: ev- cry woman "window-shops" be- fore she buys a new .hnt. But do you window-shop before recording your vote? Do you attend political meetings or follow poutlcal argu- ments, to enable you to form I sound opinion before voting?

The first point is less obvious. The average Joe. married and with two young children. earning any 875 per week. has about 85 per week deducted as his personal income tax. So he figures that he pays only 8260 a year in federal

Being forced to all through sev- eral long-winded oratora at a ban- quet recently. I wltlled away the tedious mlntuea by trying to re collect what Mark Twain once raid at a banquet. following aoveral marathon peakcrn.

I can't fnd the exact quotation. which I haven't seen for more than a dozen years. but It should be pon- dered by all people who do not know when to stop talking at pub- lic functions. and it went some thing like this:

"Some years ago in Hartford. we all went to church one night to hear the annual report of Mr. Haw- ley. a missionary who went around finding people who needed help but didn't want to ask for it.

"He told of the life in cellars. where poverty resided; he gave in- stances of the heroism and devo- tion of the poor. Well. Ilawley worked me up to a great pitch. I could hardly wait for him to get through. I had 3400 in my pocket. and l wnnnted to give that and borrow more to give. You could see ueenbacks in every eye.

"But instead of pulling the plate then. Hawley kept talking and talk- lng. d, as he talked. it grew bot- ter and hotter. and we grew sleep-

flnally. when the plate did come around. I stole to-cents out of it!"

"And to crown the business. it perhaps proveth at last a story the company hath heard 50 times be- fore; or, at best. some lnslpld ad- venture of the relafor."

Now, with the growth of an organized movement combat this crippling illneu, an era of constructive action and hnpcfulness has at last come into being.

But that in where he is quite wrong.

THOSE HIDDEN TAXES PINCH Less than one-third of the feder- al government's tax revenue comes from personal income tax. More than two-thirds is collected in the form or sales tax. customs duty, excise or luxury taxes. and corpor- ation income tax. Business is no Santa Claus: cannot afford to be. These taxes are all part of the cost of doing business, and they are all included in the price you pay for everything you buy. from cars to clothing. from milk to mat- tresses. from cigarettes to cosme- tics. from bread to bandages.

Nobody can spend one cent with- out paylng one or more hidden taxes to the federal government. Somewhere between 20 cents and two bite out of every dollar spent is sucked into the pockets of the federal treasury.

Your own pocket-book therefore demands that you should consider carefully how you will cast your vote on 10th June: your own pock- et-book further demands that you should then GET OUT AND VOTE-

Alcohol, even in the hangover stage. impairs the slim DWWSG ll slow: the rate of oxylen 35'"?- tlon by the blood. So does heavy lmoking.. For this reason. it is beat to shun both liquor and chain smok- ing, partlcuarly when you have to drive.

It will be a lot easier to see at night if you become dark-adnpb gd before you begin your drive. Don't forget. it takes about half an hour before your eyes become adjusted to the darkness.

If you have to use a flashlight in the car. placing a piece of red pap- er over it will help prevent night blindness. You can go night blind in 30 seconds by looking at 3 bright light.

An exception is red light in which the rods - the tiny nerve ends on the retina of your eyes- are insensitive.

You might be able to avoid fat- iguing these rods by blinking fre- quently and shifting your eyes ev- ery once in a while.

FACING BRIGHT LIGHTS

You will probably find it easier to see an object in the dark by looking above. below or to the aide rather than directly at it. When you do have to face a bright light. sliuttlng one eye will pre- serve your dark-adaptaion in that eye. Now I know you are going to ask. "What about eating carrots?”

Well. carrots actually will help cure night blindness in permm who have poor diets because they add Vitamin A. However. Vita- min A will not make normal vis- ion better.
