government's Canada Assistance Plan,” to pay ALE old’age pensioners $100 a month although there is no

such provision in the Plan as ‘out-...

lined at Ottawa. -The Plan proposes . toi pay extra money to pensioners:

*“where there is need,” which is a dif-

ferent matter. They are also pledged to abolish the present school tax, to provide free -school books for all students from grades 1 ‘to 11, to pay ‘at least $1.25-an hour to all persons employed on government: contracts, and to a crash program to:meet “all needs” for senior. citizens’ homes. low rental homes and nursing homes, for low-cost dwellings and mortgage money for rural .as well as urban areas, and numerous other things.

Cabinet Growing Bains

One of the first problems facing Sir John A. Macdonald in 1867, re- calls the Hamilton Spectator, was the necessity of assembling a cabinet of no less than_18_men to keep happy

_ the political elements of Upper and ‘. Lower Canada and the Maritimes.

“Government

During the First World‘ War,. Sir

Robert Borden hived off 10 members- | : ; machines capable of sowing seeds

into a special war committee, but the idea.was dropped: after the Armistice and by 1921 Arthur Meighen Had as- sembled a cabinet of 21.

Mackenzie King made the last.

campaign unprecedented, in re-

«

courage and POE ESS ‘to ‘introduce a basic reform which has been over- “due in this country for many ‘years, With 26 members the cabinet now is too ‘large, yet more ministers are needed-to-attend—to—the burgeoning | responsibilities of government. Mr.

..Pearson hesitates. to add them with-

out. splitting the cabinet into inner artd outer circles, and yet he is afraid to make the split. In corporate terms, - 26 people are probably 20 too many,

“but in a hyper-political ‘State like Can- |

ada, which demands a geographically, raeially_and_religiously_halanced-main stream of federal politics, reform does not come easily.

~The most obvious answer, it is sug: gested,.lies in the United Kingdom. | Prime Ministet Harold. Wilson’s. cab- inet today consists of 23.nembers, and governs a country.two and one-half

cally invited. The system was adopted in | 1916. :

Tired, evidently, of waiting for Ot- —

At worst, for |* tawa to move in the matter, the Ont-

ario government has _ introduced

“amendments under the province's

Highway Traffic Act to establish safety-requirements for car and tire makers. .Under the new the -goverriment would have power to

safety device deemtd necessary in or on any vehicle.” In addition, organization couldbe. designated: to test and approve or reject any safety device.

The government would also be able

yon

to prescribe tire standards, specifica- .

- tions and markings. Tires that did not. comply could be banned from. sale.~ “We don’t want Ontafio to become a dumping ground for rejects (tires),”. said Transport Minister Haskett, not- ing that the U.S. government is ex- pected to set tire standards soon. The regulations are expected to come into effect within the next six months—- _but not in time to influence changes in 1967 models, he said. oe Other proposed changes would make it illegal to operate motor ve- hicles’ .when' the _ windshield or windows are covered by ice or frost, would.- require vehicles, approaching: “in. both directions to stop for school buses; and would permit non- paying : passengers ‘to gue the driver in ac-. cidents involving gross negligence. The legislation is regarded as a compromise. between the crack-down suggested by some parties and the | ‘plea of the motor companies that they - police “their. own production. The

|_position _of--the motor—_companies_|

collapsed suddenly during the recent hearings at Washington and it became evident that some public guidance would be necessary and would be ac-

ue by the manufacturers who had |

‘viously. opposed such action. Mr. Haskett emphasized that the Ontario cabinet had no intention “right now” of drawing up new safety rules based

to arm itself with the power to do so if makers don’t go. along with: its wishes.» a

“Precision Farming

* The American West, which in 3 dis great days>measured its wide open spaces in square miles, seems to be going into reverse. The future agricul- -tural—picture suggests farms. meas- ured. in square’ feet.

‘To this.end, Andrew, Duncan, a westerner specializing -in vegetable crops, is talking , about new, .small

That classic minimum. thas always: been three: French speak- . “ing members and one English speak-
