Seated in the middle of a circle of attentive constituents. the MP for York North deftly fielded questions from all quar- ters for two hours. The meeting held last Friday evening at Wil- lowdale United Church. Ken- neth Avenue, Willowdale was attended by thirty people. Mr. Danson said he was more than pleased with the questions and points raised but blamed the relatively light attendance on the time of year and on the Friday night choice. The small percentage that banks and others charge mer- chants for processing credit card sales would appear to add to the cost of doing business and would probably be reflect- ed in higher retail selling prices. he said.

In reply to a questionner who felt that Mr. Hellyer was “playâ€" ing politics" with the question of enlargement of Toronto In- ternational Airport. Mr. Dan- ‘son said he believed that some extension would have to take place fairly soon to provide facilities required right away“ He pointed out that noise fac- tors alone made it necessary for the government to give very serious consideration to the es- tablishment of a new airport at some other location, “but feasi- HYDRO COMMISSION 2903 For 146 150 8] 68 129 88 71 53 86 86 '71 56 1719 46 40 48 37 63 28 50 60 42 91 60 57 37 19 27 33 n r.) 47 52 56 3'7 42 103 79 42 39 61 29 50 16 36 . 73 53 48 15 2355 67 67 67 102 52 111 39 52 82 55 110 72 6] 62 29 31 47 55 120 99 56 38 58 121 100 48 63 ’76 42 53 27 55 79 72 62 25 Against 966 24 29 2128 29 27 28 4.2 30 37 47 33 62 4.5 37 35 14 14 37 42 62 74 54 8.4 70 96 139 65 '73 130 95 92 65 83 84 95 103 14 I do not trust my own taste in judging other people's houses so I asked the wives of MPs visiting 24 Sussex Drive what they thought of the decor. They all thought it was disappointing and dull. One said it was fright- ful. The general impression was that it certainly did not reflect Mr. Trudeau‘s vibrant personal- ity. They are all young. but exâ€" tremely solemn, staring out of the canvas at the spectator.. At the left a young girl holding a hat, the open hat box at her feet. On the right another girl holding some books. The boy, in the centre. is holding an ap- ple â€"- or an orange â€" in his hands. They all look extremely grave, as if something ominous were about to happen. The other room contains Canadian paintings. â€" An ab- stract by Nakamura. the To- ronto painter. of a Canadian Forest. and two paintings by French Canadian artists â€" a landscape by de Tonnancoeur and an extremely pleasant snow scene by Lemieux. a Canadian National Railways hotel green â€" and the windows are dominated by heavy green curtains, more appropriate to a bedroom than a living room. The long wall opposite the win- dows is dominated by an Adam fire place painted in white. The furniture is rather heavy imita- tion French. All the tables are glass topped. I was particularly interested in the paintings. The livlng room contains two extremely small sketches of French beaches by Boudin, the French impression- ist. A Dutch still life â€"â€" a table arrangement of a goose, fruit and vegetables * dominates the hall. The largest, and most im- posing picture in the living room, over the fire place is rather curious. It is an Ameri- can 18th century portrait paint- ing of three children. I To the left off the hall is a small room â€" once Mr. Pear- son’s study â€" which the night of our party was used for ladies coats. Behind it is the kitchen. Straight ahead off the hall are two large rooms facing out to the Ottawa River. Normally one is a dining room, the other a living room. The night of the party they were thrown open as two reception rooms for the Prime Minister’s guests.‘ The one to the left is the more formal of the two rooms. It is painted a light green ~â€" some one unkindly commented The other reception room is rather sparer in feeling. The walls are covered with a light coloured fabric. It contains no fire place and less furniture than the other room. surrounding a crystal chandel- ier. It is completely white, ex- cept for the ‘long, curving mahogany bannister rail, which seems to spiral like a spring into the air. Mr. Danson announced that his next report to his constitu- ents would be held in Markham Village in late January at a date and'place to be announced. His February meeting will be in Woodbridge. MP for York North urged con- sideration of a new location for the airport connected to To- ronto and Montreal via 150 mph pneumatic tube or mono- rail transportation systems which he said were technically well past the curiosity stage. On streamlining of parlia- mentary procedure. Mr. Danson‘ ‘said he believed that a com promise was essential even if the result was not completely satisfactory to the government. “The time for debate on legis- lation ‘should be set by agree- ment with opposition parties," he maintained.

Then you might have enjoyed watching a conductor trying to keep sixty amateur players timed to a split-second beat. Some of them have had a tough day at the office, some have had last-minute trouble with the babysitter and some were up all last night studying for school exams. ‘ The rich sound of stringed instruments. the haunting, plaintive tone of the oboe with the gentle harpsichord in the background: could myone really resist such music?
