hail activities for the younger chil dren Why not a dance in the arena or the town hall next year Or even one in the mar ket square think it is about time the town woke up to the fact that teenagers

done he suggested Well that is exactly what the teenagers did They formed a council to organize the Teen Town club at the end of the summer and now it is flourish ing Regular dances are held From the

any royalty jeal ous The poor bull was past and because of the infirmities of old age was destroyed to put him out of his misery His survivors were mentioned No less than seven of his daughters it was stated have completed record of performance tests exceeding pounds of fat He was one of the most noted develop ed in Canada during the past decade it was said Bulls and cows are in the news it is true and when a prominent bull dies it may make interesting reading- But writing obituaries about them seems a little far fetched- This pure breeding business has made important individuals in the bull

chatting in a European language and when they moved on we heard a woman say If these darn foreigners want to come out here why dont they learn to speak our language Natur ally we thought it to be a narrow prejudiced and un healthy attitude but we wondered how concerned we should be over the warped attitude of one individual Do many other Canadian citizens think that way What is the percentage A persons own insecurity must be the reason for this type of thinking A persons fear about his job or position in society may be a constant strain on his mind and fraught with these fears and frustrations he un consciously seeks mental relief by retaliating on min ority groups or foreigners in society This may be one explanation for the attitude New Canadians who find difficulty learning the language and the accents will bear the brunt of prejudicial attitudes of these citizens and they must accept it as being unimportant for there is no way we can change all these people We believe that the percentage of these insecure nonforeigners is relatively small The trouble is that they are heard more because they so often have no in hibitions about saying what they think Some have gone to such extremes that they consider a citizen from the opposite side of town as a foreigner No Canadian citizen is a foreigner but there are all kinds of citizens good fair and poor ones PEACETIME SACRIFICES Yesterday the citizens of Newmarket and of Canada paused to think of the soldiers sailors and airmen who gave their lives in world wars Members of the town council placed wreaths on the cenotaph On Sunday special church services were held and veterans placed wreaths at the cenotaph where a service also was held Everyone no doubt thought of relatives or friends hus bands or sons who died sacrificing their lives for their people They believed that they were fighting for something important and they were prepared to die for it We sometimes forget the soldiers sailors and air men who have been killed while serving their country in peacetime On Tuesday the crow mcmlers of a Can adian fighter were killed in a crash Last week six young men took off from an airport at Lon don Ont in their Mustang fighter aircraft for a routine training patrol to the Owen Sound area They ran into poor visibility conditions during low level flight and one machine crashed A young man a university graduate last year died for his country Was this sacrifice any less than if he had been killed during a war lie had volunteered to serve as a reserve pilot for the defense of his country and by so doing lost his life We think back on the events since the war the number of men who died while serving in peacetime We think in particular of one front our own com munity who lost his life serving his country The sac rifice in peacetime may not always le associated with glory but it is the same sacrifice In a world where there is war or threat of war young men will be sac rificed We must not forget them NO WAY TO ATTRACT PEOPLE Mr Harris or some of his senior assistants should cheek up on their immigration offices and staffs in Britain suggests the Financial Post Most serious com plaints from new arrivals have boon aired in the press of Canada in the last few weeks If these are only even partly justified then one wonders whether we are really trying to attract new people to this country or to scare them away Our immigration offices are described as dirty dark crowded and obsolete Maps pictures and other necessary literature are often out of date There is no friendliness or sympathy on the part of officials and little privacy it is said either about questioning or medical examinations Potential immigrants are re quired to wait for hours for attention in these dingy offices then sent home to wait for weeks or months In uncertainty as to whether they have been accepted This is the worst sort of publicity for a country that needs new people Ottawa simply cannot afford to ignore it If it is not true we should say so If it is prompt correction is Imperative HOPE TO COMBAT POLIO The Canadian Red Cross Society has announced that additional blood donors will be required to supply blood for the gamma globulin project of the Depart ment of National Health The Minister of National Health has requested the Canadian lied Cross to under take the collection of blood for the processing of gamma globulin This is in addition to the Societys present commitment to supply whole blood for civilian hospitals and blood products for emergency stockpiling purposes The responsibility of the Canadian Red Cross is limited to the collection of blood The processing will be undertaken by the Medical Research Laboratories University of Toronto with financial as sistance from the Federal Government The total quantity of gamma globulin produced by the laboratories will be and distributed by the Department of National Health on the advice of an Advisory Com mittee to provincial public health authorities Gamma globulin is that part of human blood which contains protective antibodies against certain diseases and is believed to be effective in the prevention or lessening the severity of paralysis in poliomyelitis It takes ap proximately one pint of blood to make an average dose of gamma globulin Gamma globulin is not a cure for polio nor is it a vaccine and one dose protects a child only for a period up to five weeks following injection Only a small quantity of gamma globulin was manufactured prior to the summer of even with the processing labora tories working at maximum capacity It is hoped additional blood and increased processing facilities will assure sufficient quantities of gamma globulin to com bat polio in Canada during the season TRAGEDY IN COURT A report is published elsewhere in this issue about a 10year old boy being sentenced to prison by the magistrates court in Newmarket lie was the older of two brothers who faced charges for breaking and enter ing and of theft The report states The parents of the boys did not appear in court when the older one came before Magistrate When he adjourned the case until Tuesday for a report by the probation officer he requested their appearance For a old boy there are still many years ahead in which a good character can ho moulded There are years of development in which important changes can be made when he will make decisions which will affect his whole life but by the obvious hick of interest on the part of parents he is not likely to receive parental assistance in the future It could be surmised that had he had proper parental assistance in the past he would not be in his present position faced with a term The report also points up the importance of a pro bation officer to work with the courts Newmarket and district is now fortunate to have a probation offi cer Air who was appointed a month ago has a great amount of experience in the probation field and his work no doubt will be felt for years to come Mr has much ground to in the field of probation work which has never been done hero in the past the fact alone being a sad commentary on the development of this type of social work in Canada INFERIORITY COMPLEX Fort Erie TimesReview Canadians have long been accused of suffering an inferiority complex about the capabilities of their own artists writers and musicians Yet not only the arts are involved as witness the dispute in Toronto over the awarding of the contract to plan that citys proposed Lakes I to re expressway The original recommendation granting the con tract to an American firm was set aside following the objections of the Association of Professional Engineers representing Canadian professional men This group protested statements by some members of the Metro Council that only American firms were qualified to do the job Three Canadian companies subsequently detailed their qualifications and Iheso wore Impressive At time of writing the final decision has not been made It is worth noting that the TransMountain oil pipe line acknowledged as one of the most difficult feats of heavy construction ever accomplished was built largely by Canadian companies This and other examples that might be mentioned seem to indicate that whether or not there is a Canadian inferiority complex there is no real justification for it it ffl ppf M

two up Up I up Oli United Press said Slim It nays Leonard Angelina was stand ing on a street corner minding his own business and ripping up 50 hills and 100 govern ment bonds today when the police arrested him Angelino had torn up seven of the bills and five of the bonds into little scraps and thrown them into a sewer when the police appeared They pieced together all the scraps they could recover and took to hospital for observation There is an innuendo there crazy that Angelino stated There is an innuendo there that Leonard is crazy all right an I take serious ob jection to that there innuendo After all continued Slirn it is admitted right there that he was mondin his own business It was his own buck bills and 100 bonds what he was rippin up Who are we to judge a man loco who has contempt money I aint no use money Slim went on so does that make me crazy I had a uncle Bliggens who had a wife what inherited a million and he left her She got independent Was he crazy No I say He was a individualist Maybe thats what Leonard Angelino is an individualist and not crazy at all I said The police have no right to make psychiatric diagnoses of their own on the street They have arrested him be cause he was littering the with paper but if they they should have taken him to the clink not to hospital 4 this modern sassiely complained Slim The minute an activities do not fall into the usual pattern he is branded as crazy or ra dical or Television radio newspapers and all the propaganda has all herded along like sheep A individual aint got a chance these days Every day we are told that Crunch ies is the best break fast food in the land We gape at em on television and its drilled and hammered into our brains by the radio that is the best break fast food in the land and its the brave individual what stands up and says I like por ridge 1 see it now The in dividualist is a rare bird And poor was just trying to assert his independ ence and he gets hauled off to hospital in a police wagon You are right Slim What is this world coming to I asked This here world is coming to naught thats where This world is to a state where nobody thinks anymore Talk about dictatorship we is all already dictated to by tele vision radio the news papers and magazines We is a herd of humans hexed by the cathode tube or whatever television comes out on the end of Yes I said Brave new world Poor Slim Yes poor Aneglino The psychiatrists have already got a name for him probably Its too late for him now He might have been a truly great philosopher old Angelino said by Dairy Farmer The Top Six Inches A story we heard the other day while south of the border keeps us thinking about the shape of things to come We are trying to forget it and yet it will not be forgotten It concerns a very large herd of cattle in California where several hundred cows are milked daily and where the help is of course unionized Apparently they are getting aside from their wages some sort of incentive pay which is based on the pounds of milk per cow produced It seems it is part of their union contract that they do not have to milk a cow when she drops below pounds per day There is a paddock next to the barns where these sub standard cows are turned out and then the management has the responsibility to see what to do next It the cow is far enough in calf then she is turned out to their dry pas ture If she just doesnt do what she is expected to do or if it wont be economical to keep her she goes to the butcher There it is The question to decide is this- Wilt the at titude of the union In this case further the development of good livestock or is it a step backward And secondly is this an undue invasion into the right of the private owner to do what he likes with his cows In all honesty to ourselves we feel we have to admit that in this case at least the union is doing the owners and In a certain sense the breeders a largo service their at titude borne out of consider ation for the dollars and cents is really a progressive factor in breeding cattle First there is nobody who can bo quite as blind towards cattle as the men who own them Wo believe that the very man who says that he knows cattle is usually the man who can make more excuses for a cow ho fancies than fleas a dog has In having to put up with his unions attitude the California has to cull his unless he wants to milk them himself In this case by tut ting off cows which do not come up to expectations the owner is forced to take stock of them and decide whether or aot the cow deserves an other chance If he doesnt he will cull her Wo think all breeders agree that the most important step in breeding cattle is culling After all a dead cow doesnt have calves and thus wont reproduce very characteristic which eliminated her Neither can we call the at titude of the union highhand ed After all help the owner make money by only milking the cows that will produce Granted they also increase their own pay but they are doing it by insisting on getting more milk from fewer cows and refusing to work with the boarders We are often wondering if wo any better off if some factor forced us to do some more serious culling Only three factors will force us to cull as a rule One is ex tremely high beef price trouble with this one was that it also encouraged the raising of bad stock The other one is very low price of milk Let us hope this will not happen Finally high cost of production regardless of the beef prices or the milk price is a factor Wo think this Is tho stage we iro at now We could do for ourselves what the union in California does for tho own ers there After all wo ore opposed to regimentation and dictatorship by any organized group But let us not use our desire for freedom to make excuses for not doing what we should do PLEASURE TO TOURISTS NOT CITIZENS a to Hod ti tt IwiiHt la world to boot tows lot to art It llitft mbUamI It atom Am tor driitof tutor a through it to a poll to ilka to am
