experience of the government problems with v mobile homes while it is tempting to consider mobile homes as the answer for the current housing shortages in this area it might be well to consider more carefully the implications of their use certainly the cost factor is attractive a cost of a mobile home is very small compared to a regular house a fullsize mobile home can be purchased for under 20000- j but the problem comes not in the short- term establishment of mobile homes sub- divisons but the longterms effects first of v all it is questionable whether the structures stand up as well as the frame or brick house most of the projects which have been proceeded with in southern ontariohave been with the resident buying the mobile home and leasing the land the problem there is that without the land the mobile home which is anything but mobile without a special truckto move it is not a home at all we feel that until mobile home owners can buy the land with the home and can be ser- viced in the normal way the town would do best not to allow such development r it looks good in the shortrun but could prove to be a costly error in the long term i and progress of the province is of much more importance ontario has progressed under frost under robarts and most lately under davis while voters will take a close look at whatmelbctalsand ndp hive to offer 1 most are seeking security and will be loathe to leavea proven for an untried and t inexperienced group of the three premiers mentioned above premier davis has found himself in the most turbulent of changing times and attitudes and his government has proved adaptable as a member ofthat government william hodgson york north has proved himself a solid and trustworthy representative for the riding- the voters have no way of knowing whetherlthe liberals or ndp have any real solutions to the problems of today everyone is wary of rising costs and any further shoves in the socialist line can do nothing but increase these costs we all ove all the service we can get but in these times can we stand the price government today is an expensive proposition r even the present one but to hand over such a costly operation to green troops in these times could provea little foolhardy y 111 z h t 6 t j for the from the living bibtcf then saul con fessed i have done wrong comeback home my son and ill no longer try toharm

front of the stouffville post office arena purchase is spun plaii j- and to us there is no excuse for this the governments- answer to the congestion in front of ttebuiiding is people touse the parking

purchase the stouffville arena a shareholders meeting later this month will be asked to approve the sale for 125000 while some argument can be made for private ownership sale to the town appears to be the best solution to the problem the shareholders in stouffville arena ltd have largely withdrawn from active interestinthe arenas management in recent years it is a logical step to take private ownership made construction of the arena possible that was 25 years ago purchase by the town insures that renovations which will be needed in the nexffew years will be carried out people who meretystop topickjtip their mail i these people are not in the post office long enough to warrant parking in the rear and walking around to the front the real answer which the post-office- planners totally ignored is shortterm parking area near the front orside of the building that might mean i having to purchase the lot to the east of the post office in our opinion thisis uieonly answer the post office a service to the public it is not unreasonable to askthat adequate shortterm parking be made boy dats wan big countree- was my bilingual thought as i winged across the great lakes over the wild lakeandrock terrain of northwestern ontario and then high above the prairies as i headed for the weekly newspaper convention insaskatoon 4 thats abouf the essence of canada its so big so beautiful and so varied that its almost frightening perhaps only a welltraveled russian could feel the sense of awe that ifelt after a brief lookat just a small piece of this fantastic landf ours in seven days i covered about 40000 miles by almost every mode of transportation ex cept oxtrain and i saw ohlyithe most veritable nook the smallest cranny of this vast fascinating country its quite an age at 630 on one of those wickedly hot days for which the past summer hasoeen notorious im kissing my tearful i wife goodbye she was crying because we were going to be separated for a whole week and because i might jf all among evil com- j panions which i didi v x at about ll30the same morning with couple of time changes thrown in im walking into the bessborough hotel some i 500 miles away ona

would makel an antique car buff burst into tears of joy another colorful bit was the piping iriof the colors at one of the banquets and their formal presentation tothenew president ernie neiifeld of weyburn sask j and as an added fillip there was a post- conventiqn fishing trip into northern way in my old roadschooner headed for home i the hours between the departure and the homecoming seemed to flash by andyet ifelt that id been away for a month id seen so much and covered so much ground not to mention air and water i v r 1 j had eaten everythingfrom those awful frozen airline meals where almost rupture yourself trying toget the plastic top off the pat of butter to haute cuisine fowl saskatchewan one of the greatest fishing areas of the world more about that later for me the best part of the convention was meeting old friends and making new ones to the old ones i am hereto testify that you never looked better to the new ones i- can only say there are some mighty nice people i in this country arid you are among them b one thing that warmed my heart was thet number of families in which the children are involved in their parents newspapers in this age most young people for some reason spurn the occupation of their -parents- and want to strike out on their own this is un- derstandable but the numberofsecond and even thirdgeneration people sticking with the business shows that running v weekly newspaper still holds a lot of attraction for young bright people some ofthem arethe derksens of estevahthecadogansof new brunswick theidills of miltonvthe mc7 rful f vconnells of tillburyfthere are many others it included a side trip the battlefield of i on theotliersideof thecoinof course iche where hahnpl numonfawpfic rnnir weekly editors arid their wives are just like other people some of their offspring disturb c- them deeply 1 must have a national reputation on rotten kids because i had i both ears bent out of shape by mothers and fathers who would corner me and tell me almost in tearsof the latest terrible things their youngsters wereiip to after my own experience in raising kids x nothingcan even raisejone of my eyebrows f but i hope i brought some comfort tothe af- i stuffed with wild rice to fresh pickerel fillets straight out of the frying pan at a shore din ner f i id heard some good speeches john dief enbaker on home ground with no need to politic is unbeatable as an entertainer otto 1 lang also in his home province gave me some assurance that at least one of our federal ministries isin cool hands and most amazing of all was the high official from the postal service standing up there and trying to tell weekly editors that we have a good postal service and will have a great one its a wonder he wasnt stoned to death but his- homework had been done and his footwork was excellent he almost convinced me essence of jus message was to get that postal code on your mail when it comes to holding a convention those saskatchewan weekly editors dont have to play second fiddle to anyone this con vention was well organized- varied and colorful batoche where gabriel diimonts metis took on the regular army arid gave it a bloody nose during the el- rebellion another exceptionally interesting evening included a visit topionera if you are ever in saskatoon dont miss it there is a complete t flicted dont worry chaps your kids will turn out all

immensely whenit arrives j thatin fact is my undoing at the beginning of every summer i vow that under no circumstance will i take a vacation but after about a month of seeing all my friends arid fellow workers returning tanned and satisfiedmy resolve goesdown the drain every morning while driving to work i get a tantalizing glimpse of that beautiful sunny weather i find myself wallowing in mindless daydreams of days spent loafing in the heat and iazing through balmy evenings at the same time my mind firmly blocks out any thoughts of last years disaster or for that matter the year befores before i realize what im doing i discover ive put my name down on the office list for two weeks r i v orice the die is cast as they say i start having nagging doubts about the wisdom of my decision y r j last vears calamity involved two rain- drenched weeks of sharing canadas northern woods with rblack flies and mosquitoes a touch of expensiveear trouble thrown in was exactly the fillip
