The real work of the legislative and ad- ministrative scrutiny takes place in the committees â€" which is why the Commons has given permission to the committees to sit during the sessions of the Commons. Most Members are on two committees. Usually these committees will meet in the morning when the Commons is not sitting. But on those occas- ions when a conflict is unavoid- able most Members, including myself, give precedence to their committee responsibilities. 2.

John Hunter of Au- rora has written to say that sometimes this process should be reversed. and people should send a questionnaire to me to find out my views. He has sent along six questions. Fair en- ough. Here are the questions â€" with my reply following. 1. When I committee meeting clashes with a session of the House. which do you choose? I am in favor of visits of foreign heads of state â€" not as any indication of approval of their political and social systems but because I believe the in- terests of our country will be served by unclogging the chan- nels of international communica- tion. During the Cuban missile crisis Kennedy and Kruschev were in touch with each other by the go-between of a Pravda journalist and an American columnist. That is dangerous when nuclear war hang in the balance. Subsequently the hot- line was installed so that in a crisis communication could be unfettered. International visits are part of the same process of ensuring that we understand each other's position when â€" even especially when â€" we dis- ‘agree. I am sure Mr. Nixon’s forthcoming visit to China is de- signed to improve communica- tions between two major pow- ers. The trip of Kosygin enab- led us to raise some important questions â€" such as letting Jews leave Russia. permitting relatives of Canadians behind the Iron Curtain to join their kin here, getting information on Russian Arctic research. etc. Whether or not to award honorary degrees is something for the universities to decide -â€" government and politicians should not interfere with their decisions, though I would not be inclined to award such de- grees if it were my decision to make. From time to time I send out questionnaires to the citizens of York Simeoe in an attempt, in a very general way, to get some idea of their views on political and social questions. mént was at Dickson Hill Ceme- Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hastie of tery.

Have you read a book on the Nature of Man recently? La Rochefoucauld â€"â€" Maxims. Some of the books mentioned under No. 3 would also touch on this. Most of my reading for pleasure â€" usually done on vac- ation â€" is of biography and history, travel and the history of art. Once in a while I read mysteries â€" the last one called “Dead Cert" about horse racing by a former jockey, Dick Fran- (:15. 6. Do you think the behaviour sciences can help the politician serve his constituents? Yes: I belong to an Ottawa association of political econo- mists from the civil service, uni- versities and Parliament. ‘We have a program of four or five lectures a year. Yes. The behavioural sciences such as political science and sociology are an attempt to un- derstand the explanation for what causes social institutions to operate the way they do, and the degree to which they meet the individual’s needs. In the broadest sense therefore, they are about politics. The better we understand our society and its institutions the more likely politicians are to legislate for it cal reasons which serve Can- ada’s interests â€" not as any en- dorsement of their regimes. 3.

While we mount up to the stars, we mire down in the slime morally. And Christians are found living on the husks of this world of television and radio promotion, instead of dining on fatted calf. The full moon in the eastern sky has been strikingly magnifi- cent. The early evening blue and mauve and white carpet of snow has been breathtaking in beauty and, if spared. I shall have to mention about the moon in the next 52 weeks, but I do not think I could enâ€" joy it anymore than this past week. You can well imagine why the Psalms! When on a quiet still eastern night a shepherd’s heart could revel in such a moonlight setting. so we can join in revelry of the p’salmâ€" ist 4,000 years later. The same old moon!

I am thinking at this time near Christmas of the little people who are unable to represent themselves and in the mad rush are overlooked. It is the small children in divided homes. who beyond the veneer and tinsel are brokenhearted because of the heartlessness of parents one to another. Wouldn't it be wonderful, if at this time of new beginnings you could find it in your heart to hang a sack of goodies on your husband‘s bed.
