Speaking to Rotarians on the evolution of British politics, Ms. Paisley, a student at the Manchester (England) Business School, said that a person with an annual income of $16,000 must pay as much as 45 per cent of their annual income in taxes. ‘But people are used to the welfare state,’ she said. ‘We believe that no matter what happens someone is going to rescue us.’ Ms. Haggerty noted that 55 per cent of her country’s gross national product is government spending. ‘I don’t think we've got much self- reliance left--there’s no incentive to work in Britain.’ : The guest speaker, visiting with Dallas Rotary Fellow Ed Riefenstahl- -who used his fellowship to attend Manchester last year, did comment on the high percentage of voter participation in Great Britain's electoral process. From 70 to 80 per cent of the eligible voters participate in elections. ‘No matter who’s in power, it doesn’t ‘seem to make much dif- ference,’ Ms. Haggerty said, ‘yet 70 to 80 per cent vote. They feel they have an obligation to vote.’ The speaker said she tended to favor British participation in a united European economic system utilizing one currency. She said her own partisan preference favored the Scottish National Party in local elections and the Labor Party in national elections. She also spoke critically of Con- servative Party Leader Margaret Thatcher, commenting on Thatcher’s apparent favor to policies which some consider racist.

She was a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Edward W. Riefenstahl, Lehman Ave., Dallas, during her stay in the Back Mountain.
