What is in store about income tax and purchase tax and hire purchase restrictions those grim custodians of personal spending? Will the corporation tax come out of something less than 40 per cent? Or perhaps at something more? All we know for sure Is that the Budget will be deflationary We can at least say that we have been warned COMMON On Budget Day the Chancellor is king and with thoughts on what sort of money they are likely to be left with in their pockets after tomorrow the limelight will be swiched from the back-benchers whpse claims upon a bigger direct share in Parliamentary affairs have lately come near to monopolising attention If as has been said the 20th century is the century of the common man the new Parliament may per hape be remembered in times to come as the Harlte-ment Of the commoner garden MP That is if all the various reforms now being advocated are ever to be translated into positive action If that should apply only to a small proportion 't what is now being proposed under the elastic heading of modernisation it looks as if the of is in for a drastic facelift and indeed for every other rejuvenating device known to the beauty parlour BIG QUESTION MARK After 700 years of existence it would seem that a big question martt harms over most'-bf unshakable procedures ana inmovable customs and traditions The Commons It seems is going to have to say goodbye to comfortable habits which have long since hardened into what look to be a permanent way of life There was in the last Parliament considerable agitation on the back benches for some of the more hallowed time-wasting procedures to be swept away and replaced by something better suited to the demands of a more efficient because more mechanical age But advocacy of the more radical reforms that were demanded was restricted more or less to the active but relatively small group of new-intake MPs who gathered around Dr David Kerr (Wandsworth Central) apd Mr Stanley Orme (Salford The Spoonful arriving at London Airport Left to right: Zal John Joe and Steve Sweet Music The Spoonful songs including a 10-month spell in Israel He does not think about the future: got money in the bank but I know how much And I can stay in good hotels and buy the things I Zal is the most boisterous Spoonful Onstage he often wears a cowboy hat topping a discussion of the war in Vietnam to be raised in the Lords tomorrow by Lord Brockway The inquiries follow a of the Wainfleet advisoS bv the pj committee Mr Taylor the court surveyor said that aid the advisory map had used as a guide to pj Wainfleet since 1956 verv changes had been carried in the meantime He said 3 map was one of several being reviewed by Liii County Council's plap department Mr Taylor described toils committee the proposed pass for Wainfleet tliroiijl which travels much fa holiday traffic to Skiing from the Midlands- Hnig explained which areas olfo village were suitable for tended industrial purpose and for residential develop ment FOR CLINIC He pointed out that landt the west of Hiji street has been bought Splisby council for hous and that land nearby been bought by Lini County Council to bull health clinic and a station Mr Taylor said it hadta suggested to Lindsey Com Council that they shot build proposed police hois on the land as well so tl only one access to the corn development won: be needed Mr Taylor sail thought that some 10 acr of land at the rear ot secondary scho could be available for dential development an was suitable for the pur pose since the developmm could be served by a nr already laid by the Planning permission been granted for of further industry In Station Yard with a nearby said Mr Taylor any further industry attracted to Wainfleet area would be ideal Any development Mill-iane would then beyond the industrial and beyond the area sew and would creat? the iunction of Hieh-street It should therefore be encoura Mr Taylor RIVER BARRIER The river past the itself formed an bdeiil barrier and it was 1 able to encourage very development south of gested Mr Taylor The commtee ap( CUSSlnrf to reiect an ap agreed to I tion by Mr R- rrniSSios outline planning nt for bungalow Mill-lane SvV Sed to 1 find out the aPPand number of plots 1 available ain)(ii development in anproach three jt on behalf of nd fell A see if they would se and to ask Board as station future of not including the pa in use aso if The council will a Lindsey rtment 1 planning rnarkflj the back bench MP as a gentleman amateur and on the other as a whole-time professional He made it quite 'clear thdt In his own view and It must be assumed in the main to be the view also the argument favours fulltime professionalism and this of course leads straight to the question of the hours of Parliamentary sittings DAYTIME SITTINGS?

struck the police vehicle BUYING OR SELLING test and also on a nonverbal test one based exclusively on pictures and patterns results can differ in a surprising number of pupils IN REGIONS Also differences in background the country and type of society in which a pupil has grown will affect scores in intelligence tests It is impossible to develop one test that will measure the intelligence of everyone everywhere and psychologists have to devise tests to suit the majority in a particular region or country At the University of Ottawa however two research psychologists John Ertl and Barry are reported to have taken the testing of intelligence beyond this stage They are using meeh-anical system to measure inborn intelligence so that the biases in present intelligence tests are avoided STIMULUS Their work is based on the connection between intelligence and the speed with which the brain reacts to an outside stimulus such as a light To measure this response they attach electrodes to the head and flush a light into his eyes every three to six seconds In all the subject is given a hundred dashes during a test The electrical response to the Hashes are monitored by an electro encephalogram (a machine that records the electrical activity of the brain as wavy lines on a moving roll of paper) This information is then fed into a computer which sorts out those waves arising from the light flashes from the mass of other waves from the brain In tins way the speed at which a brain responds to the flashes is measured COMPLEX The word of course is only a label for a complex mental ability Psychologists Ertl and Barry believe that their new st measures a overall mental efficiency but they claim to be able to classify intelligence only very roughly at present placing their subjects into three grades of intel licence So far all subjects have been between the ages of 16 and 40 Eartl and Barry believe that eventually their system could be developed to a stage in which it could be usefully applied education possibly for the large scale testing of schoolchildren Trade (110 per line wale) Private (14 per line scale) PREPAID CHARCES Note: Houses for gale and To Let

and paid a brief working visit to Stockholm The 1 0-day promotion tour ended in Dublin As Zal put it: I have a chance to look round London We seemed to spend all our time peering at England through a

wear similar suits for our stage appearances but we really looked ridiculous' They are as different from one another as The Bachelors are to the Beatles But it is the different outlooks that help to
