behave resented a report In last weeks issue of this newspaper that he used bad language at a meeting of council Last week ho told us that he did not do such a thing and that all members of coun cil would back him up His request for a retraction on our part has not been grant ed The fact that the reeve used bad language is of little importance us and is not likely that it Is important anyone else except the reeve From the Files of Wo have four witnesses to back up our own report If the reeve uses bad language In the supposedly dignified coun cil chambers and then wants lo make a denial later It is his problem alone What dislike arc the lac- tics he uses in fighting back The fact that he went to the owner of this newspaper in hopes of arranging a reprimand for us has had an effect on our opinion of him are sure the owner would not want an editor who could not handle his own problems with local poli ticians We are familiar with the reeves tactics We could men tion more of them which we have encountered since he was elected lo the town council but we have no wish to do so We merely mention the above inci dent to explain that our atti tude towards the reeve has be come entrenched Our

EDITORIAL PAGE Sports Editor QUESTIONS ON SUBDIVISION The proposed subdivision for the Lewis Irtish ami approved by town council last week probably will be the best residential development in Newmarkets his tory But councils approval leaves two unanswered questions First what will councils policy be when the next application for a subdivision is made Second how could council give its approval when health authori ties already have informed council that no health ap proval can be given for more houses until there is a sewage disposal plant The development policy adopted by council last year calls for new industrial assessment to be brought in with every residential development The amount must percent of the residential assessment Council passed Mr Charles Boyds subdivision without that required percent We merely point out that it would be dif ficult to turn down another local developer on a similar proposal now that the accepted development policy has been overlooked It is recalled that Dr Robert King sent a letter to council some months ago slating that no public health approval could be given to more subdivisions while there is no sewage disposal plant An approach has been made to the province in hopes that the new water re sources commission will undertake the sewage disposal project but it may be a long time before sec results With respect to the new Boyd development and the pub lic health authorities We are not what happens now WE MADE OUR BED Described as fighting mad a Philadelphia minister returning from the Orient last week was reported to have made bitter statements about the ignorance and highhandedness of the whites in the Orient Condemnation of Western civilization for poor treatment and exploitation of the less fortunate peoples of the world is mounting like a tide Western ers themselves arc joining in to blame this civilization for conditions in Asia and Africa Of course it was no less guilty of exploiting peoples years ago than it is today In fact today some Western govern meats Bri tain being the leader are doing their utmost to remove the stigma of colonialism Hut it must be remembered that France and Holland fought lo the hitter end to maintain their colonies The returning minister said Were the most hated people in the world today and rightly so He warned of an invasion of the Western world peril which has been feared for go rati Why shouldnt they invade Suppose you were starving and you saw people next door dumping food into Ihe garb age wouldnt you break down the fence he asked Pointing out that they are being blamed for being in terested in communism he said theyre so low that any way is up Despite the efforts being made to undo wrongs of colonialism it is not likely that condemnation of the West will decrease As long as there is a great difference in living standards there will be resentment among Asians and Africans a long history of exploit ation cannot be forgotten Ami ignorance among travel lers to these countries offsets much of the good being done by their own governments Businessmen and tour ists with plenty of money to spend conduct themselves like superior beings in underprivileged countries ignor ance of what is happening around them and a lack of appreciation for human emotions as well as living con ditions impedes the development of understanding between Westerners and Asians in particular And despite the talk about the eradication of colonialism still there are too many people who think and act like colonial administrators of Ihe century It is entirely within the realm of possibility that the rise of Asia presages lite decline of the West The serious student of history is aware of the fact that ho civilization lasts forever while the average citizen of all times has been more inclined to believe that the purpose of the universe was to produce this particular moment Like the of the past we dwell in luxury and ignore the barbarian hordes seething on our frontiers Our own actions have been the yeast that has leavened this ferment and our children will eat bitter bread We have made our bed and now we must lie in it NEED SAFETY COUNCILS After a ten months campaign to cut the traffic toll in this province Attorney General A Kelso Roberts could report some considerable progress recently Fa talities on provincial highways were reduced during this period by 1 percent as compared with the same period in This is a substantial achievement but as the Attorney himself pointed out death toll is still high Nearly two persons are killed every day on provincial highways another dies on the roadway of a city or town in Die same period On the average one able bodied person dies on the roads of Ontario by viol ent means awry eight hour working shift he said The attorney generals department provincial pol ice the department of highways and such organizations as the Ontario Safely League have been and are continu ing to promote the kind of driving that will reduce high way accidents The police have ami will continue to curb the kind of driving thai ends in a death These efforts are making the progress noted on provincial highways Bui what about local Iraffie fatalities Fre quently the victim of motor mayhem on local streets is a pedestrian ami too often victim is a child To rope with this local traffic toll in Ontario cities and towns the Attorney General has stressed We are par ticularly interested in formation of local safely councils and in the maintenance of these local safety councils jit a high standard of efficiency They are not only worthwhile they are essential to a fully successful traf fic safely I rive OUR SIDE OF THE STORY by fi HARVEY WHY ARE OUR RETARDED Alter Slims brush with tin- irate citizens of West Thimble we

classes students work to gel into the upper group ami parents help them Students come schol arship and they develop habits of work Thus the benefits the division show Up right from the beginning of schooling The belated and melancholy appearance of the sun is helping us to finish up last seasons work and at the same time try to do this falls seeding as well While the tem perature at the height of the day climbs to and we cannot help feeling what a good thing it could boon a lew weeks or even a mouth ago The one really harmful fact about this years condition is of course that it does not scorn to end with the season Everything late it sets us back for next year as well and this time of the year it means that a lot of fall wheat is not going in when it should be planted This in turn will Lilt tease the amount spring grain to be done next year One could go and on conjecturing on the possibilities and consequences There are two factor which should be considered oven as late as now in planning this falls and spring farm work Pile that from all ap pearances it seems that small seeds clovers and grasses will be very expensive year This will of course decrease the amount of grasses to grown or seeded down The other is that this years pasture the one bright and positive factor we can point to lias worked hard all long and unless these fields gel some extra plant food they may just decide that a the new seeds ex ceptionally high ami well grown and undoubtedly a lot of Us will yield to the temptation of them fa As a of fact we got bate hay it or which was planted only this spring No field can do this withe extra plant food and this should be Another effect of the sea son is a possible decrease in fall wheat acreage This stay not be very large if the present wea ther continues and may not be as large all over the province as tt can be in this section of the country Whether to plant wheat at this late dale or not is of course a tough decision to make but with proper conditions from here on wo are sure that a well above average crop can be grown if the planting i done within the next few days All the forgoing thoughts ate of reflected in the extra huge number of sates that seem to be coming up as announced in the local papers It almost seems as if this season has been the straw thai broke cam els back and persuaded some who may have hesitated that
