Lawrence Racine Job Printing and Production THE EDITORIAL PAGE WILD MEETING WILD AND LAW is one way of describing re- rent town council meetings in Newmarket This week not end until am the total runniusr time being over four hours It is recalled that during Mr Joseph Vales terms as mayor it was the policy to adjourn every meeting by 1030 pm each session longer than two ami a half hours Mr Vale used to say that nothing good could happen after after two and a half hours members would end up fighting Whether or not the approach of December elections is a factor there is more personal animosity between members of council Monday night there were threats vindictive comments and some cursing the most obvious friction being generated by Reeve and Councillor Gladstone It idler So strained are rela tions between these two members that one will spring like a cat on the others comment At one point the reeve rose to make a long and vehement denial that any member of Newmarket council would chisel on con vention expense accounts Apparently the denial was provoked by a motion by Councillor It idler that all ex pense account be itemized We heard no accusation by Councillor that there was any padding of expens es but after luce hours or so a listener eventually becomes numbed and confused by these wild and tire some proceedings At another point in proceedings Councillor A rose to challenge the executive mayor reeve and deputyreeve to stand with him for the election of a mayor He accused the top three of conducting town affairs without adequate consultation with coun cil One observer might say that the Monday night meeting was a shameful exhibition Another might say it was delightfully entertaining if you have the right sense of humor you will have a at most meetings Another observer might say This is de mocracy at work In recent months we have observed two councils at work one in Aurora one in Newmarket The Aurora council is more efficient more is accomplished in a shorter time Differences of opinion are settled at the coffee counter or at least outside the regular meetings The one questionable feature of Aurora council is that most f the preliminaries to important decisions occur outside the meetings the public does not always hear all the facts It might be said that Newmarket council affairs though wild and time consuming bring all I he facts before the public But democracy in any form of government is a delicate balance The executive can be too strong or too weak and the greater the extremes the further we are from democracy At the present time we think thai there is too much chaos in Newmar ket council meetings but the December elect ions can bring about improvement LETS SELL BEER IN STORES Some people do not consider beer to be a serious alcoholic drink They think it should be available in grocery stores because of its high food value and other useful properties This newspaper does not believe that beer parlors run as most of them are run in Ontario are anything but filthy guzzling joints a disgrace to the owners operator and to the province Is it not much better to allow a mans wife to buy beer to take home with her usual purchases so that her husband may drink it there and be relaxed and refresh ed for his dinner Lets treat adults as adults and those that cannot behave should be then subjected to control This newspaper would oppose beer parlors in our com munity but would recommend beer he available and therefore as exciting as ginger ale in every grocery store in the land The regulations for hard liquor are probably satisfactory as they stand today in Ontario beer could mean less alcohol would be consumed CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION WHAT IS about a Newmarket cen tennial celebration for next year Newmarket was in corporate as a village in the year 187 There have been no reports of committees formed neither the town council nor the chamber of commerce has made any plans for a community celebration The problem on the chamber of commerce we understand is to find a mem ber who can devote sufficient time to a project as this suggested one A number of enquiries have been made by citizens interested in a celebration A local member of an an tique car club lias offered to arrange for a parade of oldtime vehicles Another suggestion has been made to this newspaper for the presentation of an historical pageant We believe that already there is considerable interest in a celebration tor next May the month when incorporation took place and we have mi doubts that there are people in the community willing to help What is needed is coordinating effort We note that the Womens Institute of Newmarket is now celebrating its anniversary the institute could play its part in the Newmarket centennial Neigh boring institutes also might be interested in assisting with a pageant along with the Historical Society This newspaper is now in its in 1th year and its history pre dates the incorporation along with community history stories from the back files will make interesting reading celebrations can be assisted cummer- rial interests The general advertising value to be gained for the town and local firms is a good reason for the project Hut the basic reason for a centennial celebration is community pride Now lets see some signs of it OUR SIDE OF THE STORY by W HARVEY WHY THE

Her troyfriend a posse and theyre still looking for You saw those Sox headlines in the Corners Clarion Wait well I Then I arranged for him to make a speech at the local un ion halt while went to see

Dairy Farmer The Top Six Inches We are wondering how ions it wilt take for the farmers of this province and the general public to realize that the agri cultural thinking and policy of he present Ontario Govern ment bankrupt While it possible to Jive off bankruptcy for some tune the signs of tins failure of thought and actum are The danger lies in the fact that the results and of this sighted and stupid policy will be with us for a long time and the damage done is in seine cas es irrevocable It is a sign of bankruptcy when the agricultural portfolio can be handed back and forth between men of ability but who are either incapacitated or laden with responsibili ty This province did not have a full tune minister of agricul ture since the lelirement of Co Kennedy If the government cannot do any better than his it should tell voters about it It is a sign of bankruptcy in bulking when times of in dustrial expansion and higher and higher production the gov ernment insists for lack of thinking again that the retail price of milk should be pegged It acid eliminates horn dairy business the very men who be slav ing in it because it does not give incentive the the aide in em and just

in the pie pel Hid As rt mallei of fact one inclined o get the idea that has decided farming in ibis province is doomed and that and mining are the pursuit of the future and we can buy beef from the West potatoes from the Maritime and from Quebec cheaper than we cast produce it bore fear of being accused of thinking and looking only at one of the may we out to you what would happen if the govern ment let the retail price of go where it should bo namely around to cents a quart First would that dairy men could find from ordinary sources on about a milk to remodel and tie operations This put new life in the implement in ilnstty which just about dead on its feet It would the confidence of the dairy that it is to do long range planning and inventing and This in turn would the whole farming community e value Us laud buildings and other resources and enable it to compete on the labor not because will have money to pay comparable wages but because it will have comparable working conditions and that would help to get a days Tor days wages Hay drving it ligation better land use uu drainage would possible ami also cheap er because more of it done and in the long tun the con would benefit because milk would be should in appropriate milk beds and the cost per unit oil Id it I a 1 1 go down Dailies would be able to install and do a bet lei job of selling None of this is possible as long its tlie government cannot tell the difference welfare of agriculture and wel fate agriculture WINS SECOND AIR TROPHY central Press second time in four years Mrs Dorothy of Onb has won the
