from the Notebook A high English church official not long ago created a disturb ance by saying that all men are equal in the love of God but not In the sight of God or words to that effect The rea son for the was that he happened to say the words while he was visiting South Africa where equality is a big question Chatting with a clergyman following that controversial statement we brought up the subject It is an old theologi cal argument he said But he pointed out that you could hardly say a street cleaner and a great violinist axe equal Unfortunately the high church official spoke in a part of- the world where the basis for the Inequality is the color of ones skin No wonder the Archbishops statement was in terpreted the way it was In our educational system particularly in regard to sec ondary schools the assumption must have been first all stu dents are equal in the sight of God For until educationists began to realize the importance of vocational schools all stu dents have to go through the high schools In preparation for higher education at universities whether or not they had the brains or the ambition to do so On Tuesday were driving from Aurora to Newmarket am on the highway picked up a year old boy who on his way to the West Someday Im going to get into the chicken business but in the meantime Im going to see the world he said He seemed like an intel ligent fellow and he was sin cere We asked him if he had liked school Sure School was fine I went as far as first form and I headed the floss In French he said But I figure that there are enough people who want to be doctors and lawyers Somebody has got to do the other things and I figure that Im going to be in the lower bracket You dont need to call it a lower bracket we said Thats right In this coun try you are rich no matter what you do in comparison with other countries in the world the boy Im free and I dont owe anybody any bills Im going to see the world ho said At the boy has done some thinking and he has a philoso phy We hope he Isnt deceiv ed In making his decision he saved the taxpayers a consider able amount of money In our high schools are students who are less than half interested in their studies Many of them who have not the ability nor the ambition to make use of the matriculation education let alone proceed to a course of higher learning They ore drifting in school in creasing the cost for the tax payers who pay for education They are at school because the law says they must stay in school until are 16 or their parents say they must stay there During that time they could be obtaining good train ing for jobs they will take some day Meanwhile must pay high costs of providing educational facilities that are not being used to good advantage At the same time the students who dont want or need the matricu lation courses are lowering the standards for others The situ ation has made necessary to lower the standards to push the uninterested ones from grade to grade by Dairy Farmer The Top Six Inches The Royal Winter Fair is in full swing which means that one set of breeders and breeds have been worn to a frazzle and next set is ail ready to take over the whole to find its climax in the Queens Guineas competition It is a very exciting and very well done effort and aside from the few idiosyncrasies which make life more varied it is very well organized Having for years written about how the herdsmen ere maltreated it would be unfair not to mention right at the start that the building for sleep ing quarters is an unchallenged success it is clean it it and it has been very quiet While none of us get really very much sleep what there is is quiet and undisturbed- We are sure it is well received by all its inhabitants However there ace several points where those in charge could do some thinking and maybe come up with some im provements For one the prize list at least in the cattle ac tion is highly unsatisfactory It is difficult to draw up a sat isfactory arrangement because these ait many considerations First of course is that a list should reward the best and secondly il should en- com age ever breeder even the one to come out end give him some chance to break even Today neither of these objectives is attained The story around the barns that the winning flora display in every class gets more than the winning senior female grant that the flora display takes up less room costs less to keep up and draws a tot of people it seems really not very equitable considering the money and effort invested by comparison In some sense he Ontario breeders are penalized in the tattle sections Every Western province for example pays the freight down here awl some even give the exhibitor so much Iter head for expenses There is no such inducement for the Ontario breeder might be that there should be some classification or pre judging before entries ere ac cepted but having been done there should be freight or trucking subsidy to the exhibi tor if he went past it he could lose this subsidy or part of it but if he doesnt he be protected There arc other small mat ters For example at the it permissible to use mechanical loaders to clean the stables At the Winter in the same it is not This creates delays and con fusions especially on live show days On the whole however is a good show well run and well attended with good cattle and good There are a few more days left of it and the weather is too wet to do anything else so if you havent been there yet is a good way spend a day visiting it AND SHOWS HOW Cuts of with authentic

AND FIFTYFIVE PLANNING We arc two years too late in getting around to serious planning is much too easy to make this statement regarding the town of Newmarket It is too easy to use it as a political criticism against the town council Until recently it has not been a vital matter Most citizens have been too busy to be bothered with such a complex problem Canadians in general have been loo busy reaping the benefits of an expanding economy to worry about planning our community of the future Up until the post war years Canada has been a country of wide open spaces Cities and towns were not growing like they are today The possibility of problems in builtup areas and overcrowding naturally was loo far in the future to make an impression on the average Canadian Canadians have not been good planners simply because they havent needed to be until this decade Now we are caught up with the complexities of rapid growth We should have been thinking more about planning but we havent In Newmarket as in many communities we are now being forced to plan We should take a page from the average Americans notebook and say something like this Well now that we are to be planners lets be the best planners The planning a d industrial committee is to be congratulated on getting down to serious planning at its meeting Monday night The ideas that came out of the meeting are not entirely new some of them have been suggested by this newspaper from time to time during the past year It hardly can be said that noth ing has been done in the field of planning by the town council Probably the first concrete step was made when Councillor introduced a resolution to hold up subdivision in town unless it were balanced up with industrial assessment A direct result of that measure was the arrangement whereby the Shady Acres development company agreed to build two structures for industrial purposes on Charles St in exchange for services The for planning has been made clear by a number of problems created by new subdivisions He- sides the unbalanced assessment and industrial problem the development of subdivisions have not been tied to gether in a comprehensive way One evidence of this fact is the difficulties encountered over access roads to subdivisions Confusion over the changing of plans has caused difficulties in the area of Millard Avenno West It was pointed out by an official of the depart ment of planning and development that subdivisions are complete plans in themselves but there has been no overall plan to integrate them into the municipality There is an argument however that Newmarket was not tied up with an official plan before it was necessary Gradual development was permitted with out impractical regulations so that town council was free to promote development that was not a burden on the taxpayers Rut with the recent from the city problems became too numerous for town council to handle I hem all efficiently Councillor Alex was the first to realize that taxpayers were to ho over loaded with subdivision expenses and to a great extent he is responsible for town council arriving at its present considerations for serious planning Newmarket cannot do it alone The Monday night meeting stressed the point that the town must have the cooperation of neighboring townships to ensure order instead of chaos Without cooperation the town and the district never will develop properly and the people living in Newmarket Hast Whitchurch and possibly King township will suffer from high taxes resulting from the lack of planning An official plan will not permit development with out industry In effect it will prove whether or not new industry is available If it is not available the plan will prevent high residential costs In addition area planning board will take some of the responsibilities off the low council and the councils of neighboring municipalities is now time that planning bo gov erned by scientific principles instead of being pushed around the political arena EASTWEST ROUTE The minister of highways has indicated that province will not build an oastwest highway across this part of York County The province is too busy spend ing money on super controlled access highways is argument that the super highways should be turned over to private interests for toll roads or to a commis sion such as Hydro an that the provinces secondary road network can keep pace with traffic conditions The fact that the municipalities have done nothing lo improve the existing roads along the eastwest route from to Green hank has been overlooked Had they been improving these roads there might have been a stronger point to prove that a highway is need ed There is no doubt for instance that the New ma i- read is used by increasing local traffic but improvements have not Kept pace NOVEMBER l3v Abbey in Wales Time so ruthless elsewhere has utterly failed to obliterate the exquisite beauty of the ruined windows of Abbey
