Charlotte Whitton is thffr over compensation for the dwarfing, of their, political spirit by the weight and reach of the federal establishment. She symbolizes almost all the opposite to the quiet work-a-day life of the civil servant: noisy, barbed, color- and ham-handed. Most of time her show over- lows the one oa the Hill.
