[" Remembrance service on Sunday afternoon Westmount\u2019s annual and traditional commemorative service to mark Remembrance Day and the dead of the First and Second World War will be held Sunday after- | noon beginning at 2.30 o'clock.The service will be held as usual at the Westmount War Memorial in front of the City Hall on Sherbrooke street and the memorial service will be conducted by Capt.The Reverend J.N.Doidge, of St.Matthias Church, chaplain of the Royal Montreal Regiment, The Regiment will march to the ceremony from the Armoury on St, Catharine street and music for the march and the service will be supplied by the band of the RMR.Service will commence with the singing of \u2018O Canada\u2019 which will be followed by a hymn \u2018O Valiant Hearts\u2019.Following the reading of the Scripture, there will be prayers for those who paid the supreme sacrifice, for a spirit of dedication on the part of the living, for the Queen and Common- EXA y VV GN cone oa wealth and for peace and brotherhood among nations, Following the Lord's Prayer, |, in which the assembly will join, wreaths will be laid at the base of the Cenotaph by representatives of The City of Westmount, the various military units, special ladies committees, civic organizations and societies and by private individuals.Then will follow the second hymn of the service \u201cAbide with me\u201d following which there will be the sounding of the Last Post, two minutes silence and Reveille.The service will conclude with the singing of the National Anthem, Saluting base for the March Past will be at the intersection of Cote St.Antoine Road (north side) and Stanton street.Happy days here now says Finance-edifor Quebec\u2019s separatists may well become \u2014 in 20 years \u2014 the most conservative of small-\u2018c\u2019 conservatives in Confederation, Westmount Rotarians were told Wednesday, and the economic facts of the province may well be the factor that does the trick.The speaker was John Meyer, financial editor of The Montreal Gazette, and he told Rotarians that financially things are good in the province of Quebec, have been good for the past two or three years dntl will remain good for a few more.\u201cAs a mater of fact\u201d he said, \u201ceven in 1968 there will be considerable employment cleaning up after the World's Fair.\u201d Statistics, he said, are still hard to come by in Quebec province, but he believed that one could see the signs of prosperity all around \u201cin the new buildings, the new mills, the new plants.\u201d Listing factors that he felt helped to boom the economy, he spoke of new developments by pulp and paper, and particularly by the automotive industry and the steel industry.That the provincial government was taking a hand in financing the auto industry's expansion here and the steel complex, he did not find out-of-the-way, although he expressed the belief that in both cases the government would bow out, when the operations became self-support- ing.Many English-speaking residents of the province, he said, were disturbed by the Lesage Government's accent on and reliance on planning when that government first took power in 1960, However, he lauded as one of the best signs for the future the fact that just this week an announcement had filtered into the press which indicated that the government\u2019s first 5-year economic plan was destined for the shelf \u2014 because the government apparently realized that the initial planning was not realistic in the face of the economic facts.VOL.XXXVII, No.45 MONTREAL, FRIDAY,

délibéré\u2019.In Westmount circles, however, a decision is hoped for as soon as possible.In the case of the West- mount Centre, where a technicality in the length of time given by the city in

narrowly escaped a serious tumble.However, 1 noted also, and with a sigh of relief, that this was not the case in Westmount \u2014 where all signs of the merrymaking had been swept away.J.C.L Says parking area used by interlopers Sir: By chance | have business at Victoria Hall on Wednesdays and 1 am not always able to get a parking space in the area alloted by the city for this purpose.I know that there are many cars there Wednesdays noon belonging to Rotarians attending a weekly luncheon and to ladies who it appears attend some sort of sewing-bee in the hall, doubtless for a worthy cause.These cars, in my opinion, are legitimately parked there.But how about the cars parked by those who are attending the \u2018Y\u2019 across the road, or getting their teeth fixed at a nearby dentist or merely visiting up the strect?Irritated SNUG NY \u201cClever of you to teach them to beg like that .but À dont want a puppyl\u201d\" 25 Years Ago in The Examiner Thursday Nov.9, 1939 Twenty-five years ago West- mount was preparing to mark Remembrance Day while her sons were engaged in a new fight for freedom.J.Arthur Mathewson, K.C., a life-long resident of West- mount, was sworn in as the new Provincial treasurer.He was elected in the neighboring division of Notre Dame de Grace.Mr.Mathewson\u2019s appointment was expected, but some surprise was expressed that Gordon Hyde, elected in Wesimount, was omitted from the Cabinet.In appointing Mr.Mathewson to the important portfolio, Premier Godbout followed the tradition which decrees that a French Catholic will be premier, and an English Protestant his chief associate.Next to the office of Premier, the \u2018Treasury is the most important of the entire slate, being the Provincial equivalent of the Federal Ministry of Finance, the Examiner story said.The Right Rev.Arthur Car- lisle, Bishop of Montreal, addressing the Rotary Club of Westmount, said Remembrance Day was meant to recall the heroic sacrifices of the millions who gave their lives in the Great War.If all the men who gave their lives marched in columns of four abreast, it would take five days and five nights for Britain\u2019s dead to pass, seven days and seven nights for France's, 10 days and 10 nights for Gemany\u2019s, and 14 days and 14 nights for Russia\u2019s.That meant 36 days and 36 nights for the steady marching by of the army of dead alone, Rev.Carlisle said.\u201cThere is only one call that comes from Remem- prance day,\u201d he said, \u2018\u2018and that is the call to peace.It is hypocrisy for us to bow our heads silently in honor of the dead if we do not do all in our power to make war hereafter impossible.\u201d The League of Nations may have been a wonderful instrument, if it had been backed up by the enthusiasm of the rank and file of the citizens of the land that originally brought it into being.There must be a personal effort to bring about peace, he added.MAMAN Re-examination urged for older drivers N ANY older motorists who are seventy or more years of age are still good drivers and are careful and reliable.But at this age, their reactions may be slower, their sight less keen and their hearing less acute.For their own safety and their families\u2019 sake, they would be well advised to take a re-exami- nation for driving perhaps annually.When a long trip is necessary, the older person should have a qualified driver with him to take turns at the wheel.Fast travel is not for the older driver, who is usually mindful of speed limits.Hon.C.M.Drury OTTAWA\u2014One hundred and eighty days of sittings had elapsed, by end of last week, since we opened this second session of Parliament.And while quite a number of those days were devoted to the study and approval of many pieces of important legislation, a record- breaking portion of our time was taken up by delaying tactics on the part of the opposition.Out of those 180 days, we have spent 25 days looking at interim supply \u2014 bills that give the government the required funds to pay its current expenses.And here, it is interesting to note that for all of the nine sessions that took place between 1956 and 1962, it only took the House 24 days to pass interim supply! During the 1959 and the 1962 sessions, it was disposed of in two days.Now, it is of course, the responsibility of the House to examine government spending.But a full eppor- tunity to do this series when each department of government brings in its estimates for approval.So far this year the House has given final approval to the estimates of eight departments and has started studying those of nine other departments.Only six departments have yet to introduce a forecast of their spendings.All of this has amounted so far to 50 days of work for the Members.The 25 days spent on interim supply covered a wide range of topics \u2014 with the C.B.C.a prime target.The case of Hal Banks was another favorite subject, as were special complaints of specific immigration cases, \u2014_\u2014 Your MP reports from Ottawa eastern farming, the Canadian participation in the Olympic Games, the film entitled \u201cMr, Pearson\u201d, the Quebec Eskimo population, unemployment, mental health, veterans hospitals, ground transportation to air terminals and a host of other matters.In many cases, the grievances were aired for days on end, interrupting all other work in the House, as the Opposition delayed the passage of interim supply to the last deadline \u2014 the time at which the government would have had no other recourse than to call for the dissolution of the House .and an election.Many of these grievances are genuine and important, but the proper time to bring them up is when the department concerned has its estimates studied for approval.So far this year, interim supply has been used primarily to prevent the government from proceeding with such important measures as redistribution \u2014 the reshaping of Canada\u2019s electoral map.One major metropolitan newspaper said last week that at a time when the government lacks a clear majority in the House, the opposition, perhaps inevitably, makes the most of its unusual powers, It is clearly evident that it does, but I do not agree that this sheuld be inevitable.Surely, the first duty of every Member of Parliament is to work in the best interests of all Canadians and a Member hardly serves this purpose when first and foremost he thinks in terms of his own political advantage.On that basis, it is difficult to explain how a job that was disposed of in a total of 24 days for nine sessions should have taken 25 days so far in the current session! last summer.The director of the company, Ludmilla Chiriaeff, will bring an impressive complement of thirty-four dancers, with full orchestra, headed by Canadian stars Anna-Marie and David Holmes, with the return as guest artist of Margaret Mercier, and the addition of the renowned French dancer and choreographer Daniel Seillier.In addition to the \u201cVariations for Four\u201d, the eight other new works include: \u201cFête Hongroise', a classical ballet with choreography inspired by the Hungarian dances by Brahms, which will have its Canadian premiere in Montreal on November 11.\u201cTrapeze\u201d, which Daniel Seil- lier had created for the company of the Marquis de Cuevas.As performed by its creator and Margaret Mercier, it depicts the Nine new ballets In a burst of artistic creation, the company of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens will bring nine new ballets to its repertoire, which already bosts over fifty works, when it makes its first appearance of the new season at the Comédie Canadienne, from November 11 to 15.One of these will be \u201cVariations for Four\u201d, with choreography by the great Anton Dolin, newly attached to the company on a permanent basis as artistic advisor, since * close friendship between partners in a trapeze act, interrupted by the proverbial lovers\u2019 triangle which ultimately leads to death under the circus tent.\u201cMedea\u201d, with an electronic score by Georges Savaria, and choreography by Brydon Paige.It will be the first such ballet introduced here by Les Grands Ballets Canadiens.\u201cEspagnola\u2019, again conceived by Brydon Paige who, in a classical style, has captured the essence of the Spanish dance of the 18th century, on music by E.Granados and J.Jimenez.\u201cLe Corsaire\u201d, a pas de deux by Marius Petipa, on music by Drigo, which Anna-Marie and David Holmes performed with the Ballet Kirov, in Leningrad, and which revives the grand Russian tradition of the last century, = +.+ à i= Rotary Rotarians doing luncheon Wednesday.and even at that the attendance appeared.down .the Rotary Carnival + Gremlins that get in the type were active again last week after a lengthy layoff and as a result the Friendship Club came out as Goldenagers .the club, by the way, is still looking for more members .and the gremlins did another dastardly dab of work, making it look as if an all-night hymn-sing group from Toronto was going to sing in Victoria Hall .actually they are slated to sing in Westmount High auditorium , .* * * Westmount Park in its present state of reconstruction is still a topic of conversation with a lot of the old-timers who are out for the sunshine and fresh- air and have a lot of time on their hands .latest quip is that the mounds in the park are \u201cwhere the Parks Department is buried\u201d.ROVING FLOOR TILES Sold and Installed CERAMIC BATHROOMS Installed and Repaired STYLE FLOORS 348A Victoria Ave.WESTMOUNT 484-9885 ® Vinyi © Formica © Mosaic ©.men are fine \u2018 About repairs They knock on doors They find upstairs.JOHN WATSON LIMITED C.Grainger Tomkinson PLUMBING & HEATING CONTRACTORS DAY AND NIGHT SERVICE Service and Quotations on request 1359 GREENE AVENUE WE.5-4689 By Oliver Towne Roundup: There were eight out-of-club, make-goods at Victoria Hall .maybe a lot of the lads were up late watching the U.s.\u2018election returns on TV .Oliver Rettalick are marking birthdays this week .committee met Tuesday and Hall with a good turnout .the winner of the weekly draw at the regular luncheon.Cyril Dendy and | Hal Giles, by the way, was.* ¥ \"Wsm't High : open house Parents turned out in full to meet the teachers and see the school at Westmount High School recently.The project was part of the first open meeting of the West- mount High School Home and School Association held Turs- day.Oct.29.The parents gathered in the school auditorium and after a short business meeting they went to the classrooms where they followed their child\u2019s program through a school day.Though the parents met their child\u2019s teachers for five minutes, there were no individual interviews.These are to be held at a later date.A membership fee of $2.00 was collected and it was explained to the parents that out of the money.sixty-five cents went to the Federation of Protestant Home and Schoo!
