Rural Voles

Get a Trimming

The next federal election,
whenever it comes, will com-
plete Canada's transition from a
Tural to an urban nation. If a
vote is held in 1965, it will be
the ‘last in which the rural
voter's ballot outweigh that of
his town and city cousin.

Parliament’s passage of a re-
distribution act setting up an
electoral commission for each
province gives Canada its first
permanent system for assuring,
equal voting rights throughout
the nation.

The only catch is that it will
take the commissions a couple
of years to complete their work.
If an.election is called in 1965,
we'll be trekking to the polls in
constituencies carved out on the
basis of the 1951 census.

A’ lot of ‘Canadians * have
moved ‘around in the past 14
years, and onr population’ has
grown to more than 19 million.’

‘As a result, the inequalities of
our present electoral boundaries
have increased. The classic ex-
ample.is the big suburban To-
ronto. riding ‘of ‘York Scarboro,
with a population of 267,252. Its
voters elect one member of par-
lament, as do the voters of Ites-
de-la-Madelaine in Quebec, with
a population of only 12,479, That
means each ballot cast in this
tiny Quebee riding is worth 25
ballots marked by voters in To-
ronto’s big bedroam suburb.

The democratic principle of
“one man, one vote,”: won't be
completely realized even by the
upcoming redistribution of
seats.

There'll still be ample leeway
to allow. rural MPs to get
around their sprawling, lightly-
populated ridings. The electoral
commissions will be told to alm
at a population average of 70,000

‘for each riding. Some will have

as few as 50,000; othera 7s many"

as 90,000.

The exception will be Prince
Edward Island, which is guaran-
teed four seats under the BNA

. Act. Its population is barely
more than 100,000.

The number of seais in the
House of Commons will remain
at £35. It's expected that Sas-
katchewan will lose’ several

number will be held but smaller
ridings will be’ merged while
bigger ones will be split. Both
“Canada and United States have

a long history of tilting the elec-
toral scales in the favor of rural
voters. In the.U. S.,-the Su-
preme Court has ordered revi-
sion of electoral boundaries in

_ every state.

This oats goes back many
years to when it could reasona-
bly be argued that the interests
of ‘the country could best be
served ‘by protecting the farm-
er’s welfare. During this same
period, before the advent of the-
great urban middle class, the

city worker was looked on as.

unstable and emotional, not to

Those who reside in rural Ca-
nada today realize that the pat-
tern of life in this country has

. changed dramatically since the |

last war. The big redistribution |

program' which will permit the
urban voter to dominate Parlia-
ment can’t help but tweak the
pride of rural Canada, but it is

a pill that has to be swallowed.

Canada’s small towns and
farms have produced. many
great legislators. There’ {s' no
reason why they should not con-

tinue to do so. And here lies the

best chance for leadership that
will benefit the: country as' a
whole as well as meeting the
problems facing Canadian farm-

ers in an increasingly industriat- os

fzed society.

The Conservative party, ‘with’
its present reliance on its west-’
ern and ‘rural © bastion’: under
John Diefenbaker, willbe har-
dest hit by redistribution.

This. is , another reason~ for; -

Prime Minister Pearson to

avold a 1965 election if possible. | -

This Idea Really Scent Her

. Dear Susanna:
‘An illusion’ of pleasant relaxa- |

tion is'a basic necessity for suc-
cessful entertaining. Here is one
of the’ideas I use for creating
such an atmosphere.

Just before turning on my
tamips, -I put a drop or two of
my favorite perfume on each
bulb, As the light:warms, it im-
parts a lovely fragrance to the
room.

FASTIDIOUS HOSTESS

Dear Susanna:

The next time a great quantity
of chopped egg: sandwiches is
the order of the day, use a pota-
to masher instead of a fork,

. Cuts time in half and does a-

lovely job.

With all the extra company
you may be having over the ho-
lidays, here is a-reminder that a
thin coat of wax’ on the inside of
ash trays enables you to simply
wipe them out with a dry cloth

or paper towel after they have
been

used and they come up
clean as a whistle,

Here ‘are two ways I save on ,

laundry detergent. I always buy
the largest size hox and transfer
it into smaller containers when I
get it home — and do hold it

. Over a newspaper or a load of

washing. while the

¢ transferring
is going on so that any spilled

soap isn’t wasted...

‘Before-I throw the’box away,“

I swish it out well with hot wat-

+) er, There {s often'nearly enough
(Suds here for a load of washing.

“MRS: J. GOURLEY
+ You've been great, Mrs. ' ‘Gour-
ley. Just . one.: small question.

.-,How does one ‘really. KNOW
ppeh is the largest size? Is it
. the super, the mammoth, the
ean, or. could it be the king”

“After ironing dresser scarves,

roll them on empty rollers from

‘wax or foil wrap, and store

them’ for future use.’ This way

. there are no fold marks and

they lay-nice and flat on the
dresser.

+ Dear Susanna:

“When my little grandchildren

are visiting with me I've discov-
ered that if I pop an ice cube
into THEIR soup at mealtime it
saves both time and

There's a great hoo-haw these
days about conformity, which
has become a dirty word, Edu-
cationists ‘and editora, social
workers and sob sisters warn us
that‘ ona‘of ‘the great threats to
freedom in the modern world is
conformity,

‘These Cassandras claim that
we're turning into a nation, a
world, /.of.*conformists. They
threaten that the golden'age of
the real individual, the rebel,
the non-conformist, is nearing
sy end and that very soon we

slaves, eating what ~
everybody else is eating, wear- .

ing what ‘everybody else is
wearing, doing what everybody
else is doing, and thinking what
everybody else is thinking.

I. find; myself ‘remarkably
calm in the .face of these pro-
pheeies. In fact, I think they are
pure poppycock,

In the first place, I see noth-
ing wrong with conformity. It
merely means, “compliance
with’ established forms.” In
short the individual accepts the
responsibllities and the res-
traints which society imposes on
tim.

The vast majority of people
have always been conformists.
IE you happened to be a canni-
bal, and the piece de resistance
was roast missionary, you sat
down with the rest of the boys
and enjoyed the preacher. You
didn't say, ‘“‘Gee, I don’t know,
fellas, Maybe we're making a
mistake. ‘Maybe we shoulda
boiled him." No, sir. You con-
formed. You went along with the
crowd. S

If you happened to be a Ro-
man legionary, happily -hacking
up Gauls and ancient Britons,
you didn’t stop in the middle of
the orgy and ask youself, “Is
this the real me, or am I just
doing this because everybody
else is?” If you did, you were a
dead non-conformist. qi

Equally, ig you happen to be a
modern man, and your kids and
wife are putting you. over. the
jumps, you conform. You don’t
take a two-br-four and pound
your kids into-submission. You
threaten to cut off: their allow-
ance.

In the second place, the dell-
berate, or conscious, non-confor-
mist is m simple palo in the
arm, Ho is the type who thinks
he can't be a painter unless he
has a beard, who thinks he can't
be a'poet unless he needs a hair-
cut badly.

Perhaps the greatest confor-
mists in the world today. are
teenagers. In their desperate at-
tempt to avold conformity, ney
become the most rigid confor-
mists in our soclety. They dress
- alike, do their hair alike, eat the
same food, listen to the same
music, ‘All this, in an effort to
revolt against society, to be non-
conformists!

Not that there haven't been
great non-conformists, Beethov-
en, Tolstoy, Gauguin come to
mind, But they were great, not
because they were. non-confor-
mists, but in spite of it. They
had talent, Mac. On the other
hand Bach was a church organ-
fst, music teacher and had chil-
dren. Shakespeare worked atro-
cious hours, lived an exemplary
life, and never missed getting
his hair cut regularly.

Alexander the Great, Napo-
feon, the Marquis de Sade, Hi-
tler and Lee Oswald were non-
conformists. You know what
they contributed to the world.
_Docs this mean every non-
conformist is a nut? Not neces-

sarily, though probably. He is
‘usualy an unhappy chap who,
for some: deep-buried reason,
must attract attention.

Trouble is, the people who
constantly warn us of the dan-
gers of conformity have con-
fused the non-conformist and the
individual. The former is to be
pitied. He is seeking firm
ground in a quagmire, The Jat-
ter is to be envied. He has found
a prune (himself), in the por-
ridge of society, and he chews
happily ever after.

Perhaps old Polonius put it
best in Hamlet. His son is going
away to college. The dad gives
him a lot of advice about con-
forming. Then, in an unexpected
and .untypical flash, he adds,
“This above all..To thine own
self be true; thou can’st not then
be false to any’ man.”
