Fiscal Proposals

Prime Minister St. Laurentls new tax-sharing formula, submitted privately to the Provincial Premiers and now tabled in the iiduse of Commons, makes provision for a slightly higher slice of the corpor- ation tax fields to the Provinces as part of the new five-year plan to re- place the current tax rental agree- ments.,Otherwise his proposals are reported as basically unchanged from the orlglna'l.,suggestion he pulp before the Dominion-Provincial con-I ference last October.

The tax formula is linked with-p equalization payments to increase revenue of the less wealthy Prov- inces to the average per capita lev- els of the more wealthy ones. It in- cludes guarantees that no Province would in the 1958-59 fiscal year get less than 90 per cent of what it ob- tained in 1957-58. In subseqquent years the guarantee would be for

SERVED AS CHAPLAIN

Clayton's introduction to World War-'1 was as a chaplain at the General Hospital at Le Treport, whence men needing months of re cuperalion were, as Clayton wrote later. "being forced back into the maelstrom from which they had emerged as a child might push a half-drowned fly back into the bow ". Then he went to the Ypres salient. When he left, four years latenthere was scarcely a man in the Army who had not heard his name.

In 1922. when Toe H was well under way. Clayton became Vicar of All Hallows on Tower Hill stra- tegically placed between the City and the East End. He has been there ever since. in one of the null- est parishes in London.

Between the wars, Clayton de- voted himself equally to his parish and to the spreading of the Toc H movement. He travelled enormous- ly, raising money and opening Too H branches. There are today 20.. 090 Too if members in Britain (Including 8.000 in the womenls branches) and 5,000 overseas,
