budget shows no new taxes OTTAWA (CP) — Consumer credit controls will be introduced this spring to dampen Canada's high-spending economy but no new taxes will be levied.Finance Minister Edgar Benson announced Thursday in his budget speech It is the first time since 1913 that there hasn’t been a tax rate change OTTAWA (CP) — Budget estimates for fiscal years ended March 31, in millions of dollars: 1969-70 1970-71 Revenue $12,270 $13,150 Expenditure 11,915 12.900 Surplus 355 250 How a dollar will be spent in 1970-71 : General government services.4 5 cents.Foreign affairs, 2 1 Defence,

Other taxes, 2.8 Non-tax revenue.10 8 Mr Benson also ordered a continuation of tough tax treatment for new commercial building in 22 Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia cities, to back up the drive against inflation It is still Canada’s No 1 problem, he said The finance minister proposed a three-year extension of current tax favors for industry installing anti-pollution water treatment facilities He said the sam?tax treatment now will be accorded works to overcome air pollution.The consumer credit controls, when backed by legislation to be introduced in about eight weeks, will require minimum down payments amounting to 20 per cent on most purchases of $100 or more, with the balance to be paid off in 12 to 24 months Thirty months will be allowed on new automobile time-payment plans WILL LEAVE SURPLUS Mr Benson said existing taxes will raise about $13,150.000.000 in the 1970-71 fiscal year starting April 1.Expenditures are being held to $12.900.000.000.which would leave the government with a surplus of $250.000.000 In the 1969-70 fiscal year that ends this March 31, revenues are expected to be $12.270,000,000 and expenditures $11,915,000.000.leaving a surplus of $355.000,000 after earmarking $100.000.000 for payments to Prairie farmers to curtail their wheat plantings this spring.The surplus forecast in last June s budget speech was $250.000.000 Mr Benson told the Commons the government will boost its lending on house mortgages again in the new fiscal year.It See Budget P.5 SPILLED MILK — The Canadian Press photographer tailed to mention whether Finance Minister Edgar Benson was crying over the milk he spilled from his breakfast tray yesterday morning prior to his budget speech in the commons in the evening, but the crying came from all sides soon after the budget presentation.Budget frustrating for man-in-street OTTAWA (CP) — For the average guy, it’s bad enough not being able to celebrate the good news in the federal budget, but it’s intolerable when you can’t even tie on a good rage over the bad news.Finance Minister Edgar Benson’s budget Thursday night offered little scope in either direction Apart from the proposal new restrictions on consumer credit — and even these won’t take effect for several months there was nothing in the budget to affect the wallet of the average man-in-the-street Even liquor and tobacco escaped unscathed Seldom has there been a budget with so little financial impact on individuals.For lack of a better reason, one might throw a towering rage over the proposed credit restrictions, but with predictions that they will lower consumer spending by only one per cent they seem unlikely to alter drastically the living habits of Canadians.TIME TO STOCK UP Anyway, with six weeks or two months to spare before the legislation is even introduced, most Canadians will have ample time to stock up on purchases that will be affected Finance department officials say.however, they doubt whether the restrictions are severe enough to create any unusual rush by consumers.Generally, on items over $100, the new restrictions would require a 20-per-cent down payment and a two-year limit on the repayments For cars, the period would be extended to 30 months Some Canadian dealers now are offering five-year repayment plans for cars with virtually no down payment The average daily shopper will not be severely affected, however, since there will be no interference with purchases under $100 Charge and budget accounts repaid within one year are not to be changed All 10 freed on arson charge Eight guilty in Sir George trial MONTREAL (CP) — An allwhite jury Thursday-night convicted eight of 10 West Indians of conspiracy to interfere with the lawful use of the Sir George Williams University computer centre during a two-week period last year The 11 male jurors also acquitted all 10 accused of conspiracy to set fires in the computer centre when a student s*tin there ended Feb 11.1969 Acquitted on the interference conspiracy charge were Robert W illiams and Kenneth Williams, both of Trinidad The jurors brought in the two verdicts after six hours of deliberation Earlier in the day.all 10 Negroes were acquitted of the first of five conspiracy charges—conspiracy to destroy two computers worth $1 600 000 Convicted on the interference charge were Jose Amoroso.24 Ian Belgrave 23.and his wife Valerie.Glenda Edwards.23.Hugo Ford.25.Edmund Michael.24.Robert Ranjitsingh.27 and Kelvin Robinson 30 The charge carries a maximum penalty of five By CLAUDE ADAMS years imprisonment while the arson charge carries a maximum life sentence No date was set for sentencing A hushed audience of about 60 persons—most of themNegroes heard the guilty verdicts announced After the Court of Queen s Bench jury retired to consider the final two conspiracy charges, five Quebec provincial policemen lined up in front of the prisoners' box to prevent friends and relatives from reaching the accused Earlier.Mr Justice Kenneth Mackay asked the jury foreman whether he felt verdicts could be reached on the final two charges Thursday night The foreman said “We have deliberated for the last three or four hours and have received such a bombardment of ideas, there is such a contusion, that I do not think we could reach another verdict tonight The final two charges to be considered are conspiracy to interfere with the lawful use of the Sir an ws T- George Williams faculty lounge and conspiracy to destroy cafeteria furniture The jury deliberated for about 20 hours on the first three charges The verdict on the first charge, brought in at 10 30 am Thursday, caused little reaction among an audience of about 40 persons in the courtroom All the accused including two women, are natives of Trinidad An observer from the Trinidad government has been sitting in at the trial which began Jan 19 The 10 are the first of 87 adults to face trial on charges stemming from the violent disorders at downtown Sir George Williams, triggered by the university's handling of an investigation into charges of racism against a faculty member Forty of those arrested are Negroes Provincial police have been strategically placed in the courtroom and outside the building and Mr Justice Mackay warned Thursday lie would clear the court if there were anv disturbances Liberal Leader Robert Bour assa and Separatist Leader Rene Levesque welcomed the election, but both denounced the Union Nationale for its decision to seek re-election without introducing a budget The election announcement came one week before the gov ernment was to present its 1970 71 budget to the national assembly However, the announcement and the automatic dissolution of the national assembly does not leave the government without funds to meet its financial commitments until a budget is presented after the election SEPARATISM A QUESTION Asked if he considered the election a referendum on how French-Canadians feel about federalism and separatism, Mr Bertrand noted that he had said so in the past and he still felt this way He said “1 think that for everyone who knows politics and who examines the parties and the ideas, it will be partially equivalent to a referendum.” Five political parties plan to enter candidates in the prov inee’s 108 electoral ridings More than 3,500,000 Quebecers are expected to be eligible to vote in what is the first April general provincial election in Quebec history The parties involved are — Mr Bertrand’s Union Na tionale, amidst a knock down battle with Prime Minister Tru deau’s Liberal government at Ottawa on the constitutional question.—Mr Bourassa’s Liberals, stressing economic prosperity for Quebec as well as administrative efficiency in govern ment; — Mr Levesque’s Parti Que becois.campaigning for political independence of Quebec province and economic associa turn with the rest of Canada.—Real Caouette’s Creditistes, making their first entry in provincial politics after successfully harvesting to protest vote in rural Quebec at the federal level; —The New Democratic Party, making a try at the provincial level after failing to elect a single candidate in Quebec during federal elections TRUDEAU IS OPPONENT The Union Nationale regards Mr Trudeau in Ottawa as its No 1 opponent in its drive to gam recognition for Quebec as "the foyer of the Freneh-Canadian nation ” At least three Union Nationale ministers have revived the late Premier Daniel Johnson’s old slogan of “Egalité ou indépendance.” Among them was Finance Minister Mario Beaulieu, who said Quebec could separate by 1974 if Ottawa does not change its constitutional attitudes At a news conference Thursday Liberal Leader Bourassa said the Union Nationale uses the constitutional issue as an alibi ‘‘to hide the truth.” The 36-year-old successor to former premier Jean I^esage said the government has led Quebec to “the verge of bankruptcy ” He said the government is afraid of presenting a budget prior to elections been use it ' doesn't dare disclose the hnan ci.il situation ot the ptoviuce See Election IV 5 By DAVE BA/AY QUEBEC (UP) Quebecers are to vote

Mr Bertrand s surprise announcement “seems to us a little fast hut our boys are accustomed to moving fast In fact, party president Camil Samson was reported on his way to Quebec from his home in Rouyn

profession.Dr Robillard said at a news conference Health Minister Jean-Paul Cloutiei Tuesday presented the legislation to The national assembly to create a medical care insurance plan starting July 1 Dr Robillard said the bill is “dictatorial and authoritarian” and contradicts a law passed last year to allow Quebec doctors to negotiate terms with the government “On the day the bill was tabled, the government negotiators told us there was no need to continue the bargaining session because the bill settled all points of contention “I don’t think the government wants a medicare plan They know we can’t accept this Parents rap teaching MONTREAL (UP) Nearly 64 per cent of parents whose children attend Protestant elementary schools in Montreal think instruction in the French language is inadequate, the Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations said Thursday Another 32 7 per rent think the present program was “adequate” while one per cent considered it “excessive ” However, only 13 per rent said they were in favor of bilingual schooling or classes taught in French with a few English courses.In the survey, co-sponsored by the Protestant school board of greater Montreal, questionnaires were distributed last fall to 40,380 families and 25,830 replies were received Forty-five per rent wanted their children to he fluently bilingual by the time they left high school, 33 per cent hoped for a working knowledge of French, 21 per cent said their children should know sufficient French to handle simple conversations and one per cent said they did not care Ten new judges

there» was enough lor an afternoon in the local movie house But that was a long time back Today.Glen Campbell is one of North America s favorite pastimes, and his gross earnings this year may exceed $4 million This figure could spiral even higher if motion picture commitments didn t prevent more concert dates and both didn't intrude on his weekly television series schedule Still, there are his recor dings, which really caused the Glen Campbell explosion And tomorrow, it all comes to Montreal when “The Glen Campbell Show” appears at the Forum Starring with the host of CTV’s Glen Campbell Goodtune Hour will be some surprise Hollywood per sonalities.Recently signed to a multi-picture contract by producer Hal Wallis.Campbell's second movie.“Norwood.” will be released this spring His first film.“True Grit,” with John Wayne was one of the highest grossing pictures of 1969 While on tour, he faces a concert grind that commands average fees of $50.000 per night against 60 to 70 percent of the gross.He’s worked hard for that privilege A studio musician for seven years.Campbell accompanied some of America’s best known artists, including Frank Sinatra.Dean Martin and Buck Owens on recording sessions But it all began to happen the night comedian Joey Bishop invited the singer to appear on his late night variety show and predicted, “someday, in the very near future, this talented young man is going to have his own television show An interested viewer that evening was Tommy Smothers.And within two months, the Smothers Brothers announced that their hour-long series would be replaced during the summer months of 1968 with a show hosted by Glen Campbell.His first smash single.“GentleOn My Mind,” was just happening and about to come was the follow up hit, “By the Time I Get to Phoenix.” Campbell s manager, meanwhile, having negotiated the Smothers deal, wrapped up a motion picture contract and turned his attention to the concert situation Glen Campbell was on his w ay Although his rise to success amazingly took place in the span of a few months, it really took closer to seven years before he got his break Now.lie hosts his own TV series, one of the top rated variety shows off the year It began the current trend to country flavored programming He has received nine gold records — that many Capitol singles and albums reached the million mark in sales.Honored as “Entertainer of the Year” by the Country Music Association, he has won five Grammy Awards from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.Last year, he was certified by Cash Box Magazine as the most programmed artist on radio and selected by Photoplay Magazine as Most Promising New Male Star.” In fact, as Vernon Scott of UPI reported recently, “not since the emergence of Elvis Presley more than ten years ago.has a young soloist come along to capture the mass audience with such effectiveness as Glen Campbell.” And.it’s reached the point where his manager recently found it necessary to turn down a Las Vegas offer of $200.000 for a week’s engagement The week just wasn't available Born in the small tow n of Delight.Ark .Glen’s musical career began at age four when his father bought him his first musical instrument a Sears and Roebuck guitar By the time he was six years of age young Campbell joined his first band, a western group led by his uncle.Dick Bills, in Albuquerque.New Mexico.During the next few years.Glen toured with his uncle and eventually, his own band Albuquerque and a club called the Hitching Post were home base One evening, while performing at the club Glen met Billie Nunley, the girl who was soon to become Mrs.Glen Campbell Shortly after they were married, the two of them, along with a 57 Chevrolet, a small trailer of belongings and about $300.departed for California and what was supposed to be a new job and opportunity It was early 1960 and as it turned out.there wasn't any job Glen however, managed to find work and he played in a variety of different rock groups around the city.Although the money wasn't great, it was enough supplemented by Billie’s job in a bank — to pay the rent on a small apartment in Hollywood Today, the Campbells live in a contemporary home in Laurel Canyon with their children Kelli.Travis and Kane Eventually Glen’s voice and musicianship (although he didn't read music) earned him regular work in the recording studios.By 1961.his national hit was “Turn Around — Look at Me,” which he recorded for a small label This success attracted the attention of Capitol Records, and Glen was soon signed to an exclusive contract His first release.“Too late To Worry — Too Blue To Cry.” justified Capitol's interest, and the song jumped on the national best-seller lists.Still, most of his time was taken up with recording sessions for other artists.During the next few years Capitol released a number of Campbell recordings, however, none became the big hit that the label was looking for to launch Glen’s career.Then, in 1967, Glen found a song in Nashville.“Gentle On My Mind, which became an overnight smash That was followed almost immediately by Phoenix.“Hey, Little One,” and a string of others including “Whichita Lineman.” Along with the singles came the hit LP's and by early 1968.Glen had established himself as one of the finest young singers in the country.What kind of songs does he sing*7 I don t think Glen explains, they fall into any particular category If there s anything about them I think it’s the lyrics .they’re meaningful and I hope they sav something to all people So.for

it is not just destitution, he said "Our committee may not solve the problem to the very Nth degree need a little latitude—but there is no need for poverty and.certainly, we can solve it The chairman of the Senate special committee on poverty summed up at a news conference the results of three days of public hearings in Toronto, and elsewhere throughout the country in the last year, into what he termed the greatest challenge facing Canada An estimated 4.000.000 of Canada's 22.000.000 citizens are considered poor, to be living below the poverty level as defined by the Economic Council ofCanada on an annual income of about $4.000 One solution to the problem of poverty in Canada urged by many witnesses before the committee is establishment of a guaranteed annual income.Senator Croll in the past has advocated such a policy, but he said Thursday this would not be the complete answer."There is no substitute for money.'' he said, "but money is not the only answer.It is the first step only.” STORY REPEATED In 23 briefs, supplemented by oral submissions, organizations concerned with the plight of Toronto s poor told a story that committee members have heard many times before Housing for low-income earners is inadequate and expensive; payments to those on welfare are too low; the * working poor "—those earning povertylevel wages but not eligible for relief—are the forgotten people of society , of debts that poor families cannot hope to pay; of landlords gouging the poor.Senator Croll.who celebrated his 70th birthday Thursday, noted there has been a number of recommendations for substantially increased family allowances.Combined with a form of guaranteed annual income, this, it was suggested, would make it equally fair for all The head of a family needed more money than a childless worker.While not saying what the committee will recommend to the government when it ends its hearing.Senator Croll said a guaranteed annual income for all—he mentioned no figure— would result in financial savings in many fields It would be costly but assistance to the disadvantaged would be brought under one umbrella with resultant savings in administrative costs.HERE & THERE The Catholic Women's League Chicken Salad Tea will be held tomorrow.March 14.at St.Patrick’s Church Hall Twenty-four ladies of the League will act as hostesses and four will pour + + + The Sutton Girl Guides will hold an afternoon tea and cookie sale in Calvary Church Hall on Saturday afternoon.March 21 + + + The Ladies* Sherbrooke Curling Club's St Patrick Tea and Bridge will be held on Tues.March 17 from 3 30 to 5 30 p m The convener is Mrs.D Arnott Reservations for bridge and 500 can be obtained from Mrs.A Vallee - 563-5433.Mrs.B Hyman — 562-5144 and Mrs.R Blouin - 562-7194 Sherbrooke Hospital Nurse’s alumnae meeting Tuesday.March 17.Norton Residence, at 8 15 pm Rev Prof Ronald Reeve will be guest speaker of the evening and all nurses are cordially invited to attend + + + The Annual Irish Stew Supper will be served in the Legion Hall.K now 1 ton.on March 17.commencing at 5 p m The supper is under the sponsorship of the Indies Auxiliary of Brome Branch No 23 Royal Canadian Legion ieral Meeting for the month arch for all members of e Branch Royal Canadian n.Knowlton.will be held Wednesday.March 18 lencing at 8 p m A Buffet supper and dance will be held in the Legion Hall.Knowlton.April 3 Music will be supplied by Reg Saver and Stafford, under the sponsorship of the Ladies Auxiliary of Brome Branch No 23 Royal Canadian Legion.+ + + Stanstead College Alumni Association's Montreal Area Annual Dance will be held at the Martinique Motel, corner of Dorchester and Guy on March 20 at 9pm BRIEFLETS LENNOX VILLE ASCOT LODGE — Annual Oyster Supper Masonic Hall Belv St Lennoxville.Sat Mar 28.5 30 to 8 00 p m.— Adm $2 00 SHERBROOKE DEEPER LIFE MISSION You are cordially invited to the Deeper Life Mission which will be held at the First Baptist Church.Portland & Queen.Sherbrooke, from Monday March 16.to Friday.March 20.inclusive at 7.30 p.m Also to the anniversary services Sunday.March 15.at 11 00 a m and 7 30 p m The Rev Gordon Walker.Toronto, w ill be the special guest speaker at all services SHERBROOKE Unity Lodge No 8 of the Independant Order of Odd Fellows will show a film 'OUR MR SUN i followed by a sugar social.Saturday evening March 14th at 7 30 p m in their Lodge Hall 138 Wellington St North Every one welcome Admission Collection Because of anonymous forewarnings.there were no injuries in the latest bombings tor which a self-described revolutionary group claimed credit Phoney threats emptied other city buildings.as police responded to 137 bomb scares in the first 16 hours of the day.Elsewhere in the United States, rigid security measures were enforced at the justice department in Washington after a telephone bomb threat No bomb was found In Cambridge.Md .police sought a mystery woman in the bombing Wednesday of the Dorchester County Courthouse as well as clues in the bomb blast 24 hours earlier that killed two men in a car on the outskirtsi of Bel Air State police said her description was similar to that of an East Coast civil rights activist known to the FBI Black militant H Rap Brown was scheduled to go on trîal in Bel Air on charges of arson and not after his lawyer failed to win a change of venue to Cambridge.Both men killed in the car had been associates of Brown on civil rights campaigns FIND NO BOMBS In Louisville.Ky .government buildings, private businesses, one school.Louisville General Hospital and the state fair grounds received a series of bomb threats, all by telephone.At least nine buildings were threatened and three were evacuated Police found no bombs at any of the sites but continued their search Three persons are awaiting trial in the bombings of Manhattan skyscrapers and federal property last year, and a fourth is being sought.There were no arrests in the latest explosions The defendants in the 1969 bombings were described by authorities as “at war with the established order and powers.” The latest explosions were seen by one corporation spokesman as a “protest against the Vietnam war."

DOUGLAS ^ FISHER Not Pierre’s style The Denison Mines case is so baffling that most of us are reaching too hard for plausible or reasonable explanations.It isn't in style for Pierre Trudeau to wander into any evening session of the Commons, let alone interrupt a farmer MP's speech to make an unexpected announcement that Denison shall not he sold to a foreign-controlled corporation It isn’t in character for a Government headed by a man who is so anti-nationalist to make such a flash move.Politicians come forward with the obvious explanation It was to take political advantage And you ask immediately, of what9 The answer: The strong desire of Canadians to retain control of their own economy.Unfortunately, one can’t divine the existence of such a strong desire; it hasn't been fostered by either the Liberal Governments or by recent encouragement from Mr.Trudeau or Mr.Benson or Mr.Pepin or Mr Greene, all holding ministries of economic significanre.Remember the eclipse of Walter Gordon, the disappearance as a prime document of the Watkins report on foreign ownership, the emergence of the Waffle group, the campaign of the Matthews-Steele academics against the U S penetration of our universities, the hassle over the Manhattan or the mild upset over some equivocation by Mr.Trudeau and Joe Greene over the water and its export.None of this seemed to be grabbing a broad general public, or this administration.k NO MENTION t 'NJ Lately, I’ve talked to half a dozen ministers and a large clutch of Liberal MPs on a variety of subjects, especially on the White Paper on taxation and on rising unemployment.Not once did anyone mention the general issue of American ownership, except as a rather derisive aside that the NDP seemed to be stuck with an embarrassing, internal debate about it.What I'm suggesting is that the crude explanation that the Government suddenly saw a chance to identify itself with a favoring issue doesn’t really wash.One Opposition politician pushed the suggestion to Machiavellian length and saw it as a great diversive tactic to draw attention away from the WThite Paper This doesn't make sense.In the past week the Government has turned that corner; the mail is slowing down; the backlash favoring the Government is emerging from the excesses of the critics; Mr.Trudeau struck hard in Toronto last Wednesday at the Opposition, and lined up his considerable prestige with Mr.Benson On the other hand, both Mr.Benson and his assisting minister.Herb Gray, have been so busy in developing defences on the White Paper and speaking to it around the country that it is bluff for Mr.Trudeau to tell us he's waiting for a study from Mr Gray before enunciating a policy of foreign ownership.Finance has been scraping around everywhere for expert help Top flight persons for such a study and formulation are rare in the civil service and hard to drag out of the groves of the academy.No, the study-policy bit is an afterthought of a tidy mind fretting about his rear flank SPUR OF THE MOMENT Meantime, the best hunch on Denison is that it was a spur-of-the-moment decision It may be a preliminary to an elaborate thorough policy on our resources and ownership, but that would he several years away.In fairness to Mr Roman, he has a bad deal compared with what Rio Tinto and the Rothschild interests have built up in uranium mining At least, one assumes that Continental Oil of Delaware, one of the top 40 U S corporations, isn’t any more unattractive as owner of our uranium mines than are the Rothschilds.Mr Trudeau s argument that the sale of Denison would have dropped Canadian ownership in uranium from over 50 per cent down to 10 per cent reminds me of the argument Bunny Ahearne.the international hockey proxy.used to justify voting for Canadian use of nine pros, but not 12 pros Twelve, he said, would he more than half a team and Avery Brundage of the Olympic committee wouldn't go for that, but I’m sure I can sell nine to him ” As it turned out he couldn t Can Mr Trudeau hold Denison in Canada without either alternative The Government buying it out or directing Roman to dispose of it to another Canadian corporation9 Neither will please the business community There has been a popular idea among many Canadian economists, as Mcl Watkins has pointed out mockingly, that corporate ownership, foreign or native, is irrelevant so long as there is firm political control In uranium more than with any other resource commodity, there are strong legislative controls - which grew out of the atomic bomb competition In a small way.the Denison decision has undermined the popular idea It is unbelievable to me (though 1 widely approve it» that Mr Trudeau has been pondering the question When and where do we stop soiling ourselves out9 I i TRI SIUKBKOOM KirOKD \H\ MAHOI 13.197u S CP Rail Appointment Baha'i sect seeks brotherhood of man E L.GUERTIN The appointment of E L.Guertin regional manager, operation and

an atheist, is a Baha i.a religion based on the teachings of a I9lh century prophet Baha u liah Dr Janus explains his religion as a belief in the oneness of man and the oneness of God Basically, this translates into turning one's talents to assisting others, working at one's job or profession for the general good of mankind ' Work.” he says, "properly directed, is a form of worship Born in Leningrad.Russia 70 years ago.Dr Janus is in Sherbrooke this week as part of his personal commitment as a travelling teacher He will speak tomorrow on the “Universal Community of Baha'u’llah" at the Faculty of Arts building at the University at Sherbrooke at 7:30 p.m Although he stresses that Baha'i has no quarrel with established religions.Dr Janus says that his religion, unlike the others based on the teachings of earlier times, is aware of the evolution of human understanding Older religious teachings, he says, were right for the times in which they were presented But by the IbKh centurv mankind had reached maturity and needed new terms Baha i, says Dr Janus, merely redefines the truths of older religions and.therefore has great appeal to young people For instance, war was always thought of as a period of dynamisn while peace was looked on as a time of inaction Baha i teaches that war is actually a "stagnation of ignorance while peace is dy namic — a time of progress ' Dr Janus walks w ith the aid of a cane, the result of an earlier stroke that left him partially paralysed His wife, who is accompanying him on his teaching tour, is blind Dr Janus was a physicist before his retirement, working on the applications of fluorescent lighting, radar, infra-red light and the development of electronic laboratory equipment.He was vice-president of MacMillan Laboratories in Ipswich.Mass., before he retired to devote his full time to teaching Baha i He studied and lived much of his life in Paris and fought for the French army during World War I He came to the U S in 1950 and was elected to the local spiritual assembly of the Baha i faith in 1953 His religion, he says, is gaining great support throughout the world with an estimated three or four million members.“It is growing very quickly in Africa, Asia and the South American countries but appeals, primarily, to the youth of the western countries “ The faith also maintains no churches or priesthood, electing nine representatives front local bodies to sit in the Universal House of Justice on Mount Carmel near Haifa.Israel Baha'is do not accept any dogma, nor do they believe in miracles, believing that everything can be supportent by pure science “One of the tenets of our faith,” said Dr Janus, “is a belief in a harmony between science and religion ” West Bolton Mr.and Mrs.Stanley Quilliams spent

5.700 word budget speech.Mr Benson said There are some recent glimmerings of evidence that the rate ot increase of pi uvs is no longei rising But however one interprets these scraps of hopeful new s, the hard fact is that both prices and costs, and wages and salaries in particular.are still rising at quite unacceptable rates ‘ INCOMES ROSE After-tax personal incomes rose rapidly in 1969.but spending went up faster, leaving s nailer personal savings The use of consumer credit rose 13 6 per cent with amounts owing the principal lenders totalling f8.791.000.000 at the end ot the year, compared with $7.737.000.000 at Dec 31.1968 The consumer credit controls being introduced this spring will be the first such federal curbs since 1950-52 *$the new controls w ill not apply to present loans or credit purchases already made Purchases under $100 will be exempt, as will accounts that are to be paid within a year Farmers, fishermen, prospectors, hunters, trappers, and others with variable incomes w ill be exempt There will be no restrictions on business loans, student loans, home improvement loans and cr edit accounts V!r Henson deser ibed the credit controls as a temporary

particularly the success achieved in cheeking the rate of increase in prices and wages ” Possibly legislation will be needed in the autumn.' he added He pledged continuing support tor the prices and incomes commission headed by Dr John Young Its code of price behavior, worked out with industry and government, should help slow the i ate of price increase “We must give it a chance to take effect We must also give organized labor time to decide whether and how it should join in some sort of agreed program to moderate the pressure of costs on prices ' SEE SLOW ER INC REASE Concerning the labor situation.Mr Benson said there will be a slower increase in employment in 1970.and so no higher unemployment “There will also In* difficult wage negotiations Some of these negotiations may issue in strikes, perhaps prolonged ones, before settlements are reached " Business reaction favorable to budget Opposition leaders in Ottawa criticized the federal budget Thursday night, but initial reaction from the business community on proposals regarding consumer credit restrictions and a continuing tax on building materials was low key.Conservative Leader Robert Stanfield called the budget a “coldblooded effort” whose proposal to restrict consumer borrowing as an anti inflation measure was certain to result in further unemployment T C.Douglas.New Democratic Party leader, said the proposal would slow the growth of the economy, while Creditiste Leader Real Caouette predicted unemployment and business failures.Credit restrictions were welcomed, however, by the Canadian Manufacturers' Association and the National House Builders Association, while a spokesman for one of Canada s largest finance companies acknowledged that the formula “has been known to work" and could have a psychological effect on price levels.However, said Graydon Jar-main.financial vice-president or Canadian Acceptance Corp .although credit restrictions will depress retail sales, this does not necessarily mean lower prices will follow.CITES PROBLEMS He said it was his opinion that cost increases and capital expenditures in such areas as welfare are the problems behind in-llation.and that “there doesn't seem to be very much evidence that demand has been causing the inflationary pressure.” L.F Wills, president of the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association.said credit restrictions did not come as a surprise and were necessary to moderate the forces of inflation He warned, however, that "the tap must be turned on again as soon as economic conditions allow Eric Johnston, president of the National House Builders Association welcomed the credit restrictions as a means of turn mg the consumer’s dollar away from things of little substance" and would make more mortgage funds available for housing Spokesmen for Ford Canada Ltd and General Motors Canada Ltd said the provision to require a 20-per-cent down payment on new cars, with a maximum 30 months to pay the balance, could have a dampening effect on the auto industry, but didn’t express concern over the possibility R L Gough, spokes nan for GM noted the oown pay nent requirement would be offset to some extent by another provision under which trade-ins may count toward the down payment for motor vehicles Mr Levesque said at a conference following the an nouncement of the elections "I wouldn t be surprised to see

the wind with the snow so the whole countryside has a pink tinge vou are sure vou are no longer in Quebec The thrill of visiting a new place comes only once l spent last week on Prince Edward Island and l fell in love w ith that beautiful province w ith all its problems politics and isolation Even in winter, it is as neat, and clean, and attractive as the picture post-cards The trim fields roll over the hills as far as the eve can see No brush grows in the fence rows No barns are left abandoned Few houses are without their fresh coat of paint as thev march in twin rows over the hills The people, like farm folk everywhere, are friendly, hospitable and as honest as the day is long No one is in a hurry perhaps because there is no where to go.two hours driving from Charlottetown on good roads takes you to the ends of the Island Incomes, the papers tell us.are low .but poor they are not.if you use any measure other than dollars But underneath there must be serious problems, for the Island has been declared a Special Rural Development Area Over the next fifteen years.$175.000 000 of your tax money and mine has been ear-marked to overhaul the entire economy and social structure of the Island The Development Plan is bold and exciting High priority is placed on agriculture It will be wonderful if the plan's objectives can be reached without destroying traditional values that make life worth living The wheels have started to turn LOOKING INSIDE In my week on the Island.I met two hundred people enrolled in six agricultural short courses in as many locations It was a rare chance to see 'inside ’ Perhaps at another time, and in other places, my impressions would be different Agriculture on the Island is in about the place that it was in Quebec ten years ago.and Ontario twenty-five years ago With the exception of a few specialized operations in tobacco, in potatoes and in hogs, most farms are still the httle-bit-of-everything-just-to-be-safe kind Ten or fifteen cows, shipping cream, four or five sows, a few dairy steers to finish for beef, thirty acres of barley, sixty of hay.and fifteen acres of potatoes is still typical Net cash income, in many cases, is probably less than $2.000 I saw a horse and cutter for the first time in years.Perhaps it was the only one on the Island And neat piles of pole-wood for fuel are quite common But the combines, and the big tractors, and concrete slab silos are there.too While in the rest of Canada the area in farmland is fast shrinking, in P E I under the Development Plan it is to be increased True.90.000 acres of marginal land will be taken out of agriculture for forestry or recreation, but an additional 270.000 acres of good land will be brought in That will increase the farmland in crop by half as much again, from the present 550.000 to 820.000 acres.(For comparison.Quebec has 8.000.000 acres of crop land, and on the Prairies.29.000.000 acres is in wheatl.The year 1983 is expected to see 2.500 commercial farms on PEI with a gross income tripled to $68 million.LAND BANK A Land Development Corporation is being set up to speed up the process A sort of "land Bank .it will buy in unwanted farms, group Mem.improve them, and sill them or lease them to enlarge other farms.An older man will be able to trade his farm for a life-time lease on his house, and a pension Five offices for Agricultural Representatives.Home Economists, and 4-H Supervisors are to be opened up Assistance is to be given to Island students for agricultural training at all levels.Courses will be available to adult farmers.A new lending agency is being set up Markets are to be looked into.Research is to be steeped up Certainly, the potential is there.To this visitor from "Upper Canada”, accustomed to the mixed-up soils of the Eastern Townships and the Ottawa Valley, the P E I.soils are just beautiful Most of their soils were ground by the glaciers out of fine red sandstones and shales They blow a bit in the wind, and they are acid, but they must be a dream to work I was told yields of 80 bushels barley.20 tons corn silage, four tons alfalfa, and 300 bags of potatoes were quite common.Markets, they feel, are a problem But I suspect the Northumberland Strait is more of a mental barrier than a physical one to the great markets in "Upper Canada ' and the United States.PRINCIPAL’S NOTEBOOK JOHN DE NORA S A common societal assumption Our society has many assumptions which need reviewing and reassessing.For example there is the common assumption that education is supplementary to and preparatory for life and not life itself Some people believe that children are supposed to be in a constant process of preparing for life.The view is that children need to spend a number of years getting ready for their future Many of us forget that children live in the here and now Our society has become a complex abstract one.This complicates the situation for schools because it is necessary to present work in a concrete fashion to children If they are to come to grips with and understand their world they need to go from the concrete to the abstract.Children are expected to begin learning abstractions just because they are of school age and because it is a societal expectation that this should be so.For example, children begin formal reading when they are six vears old But is it not possible that the abstract printed books have no real meaning to many of these six year olds?Reading is taught to all the pupils because we feel that sometime soon they will need to know how to read Because of this all the children begin, more or less, at the same starting line This is like expecting that a swimmer and a hockey player should be involved in the same activity The assumption that education is preparatory used to be seen in the design of school buildings Manv buildings were designed to shut out the outside world This was done so that children could give their complete attention to the abstractions offered them or to the tools for putting these abstractions to books and blackboards Many schools had high windows and this was done so that the children could not see out of them and be distracted by the outside world Generally speaking our society tends to isolate education into neat learning compartments This type of thinking goes along with the idea that knowledge set out to be learned can be acquired and can be kept for future reference when it will come in handy The schools are presently evaluating these and other assumptions which have been with us for the better part of this century and it is hoped that the ungraded school of tomorrow w ill continue to serve the needs of tomorrow s children t SCOUTING Uourse given at the town Han s * O •\ DISTRICT COI NC1L
