weekend at Kirk- land Lake and last weekend they October THURSDAY THE TWENTYTHIRD DAY OF OCTOBER NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTYRIGHT WHAT ABOUT FIRE PROTECTION By a resolution passed last July East decided against using Newmarkets fire department to protect its urban areas north of Newmarket The large residential area of East Gwillimbury Heights subdivision for example would depend on the village brigade at Holland Landing three to four miles distant or six miles away With no written official notification rescinding the fire protection agreement with the township New market fire department continues to consider the area north of town as its responsibility According to the reeve of the township the July action will be If the township decides to stand by its decision to do without the services of the Newmarket department the fire chief in town will be expected to ignore all fire calls from property owners north of town that is officially Morally the town department could hardly observe flames shooting out of the roof of Brad Walker Motors building on Davis Drive and await an official township signal calling for help under the mutual aid agreement The township council also has created possibilities for further fire protection problems by amending its building bylaw The amendment allows garages and carports to be two feet apart in the East Heights subdivision How could firemen lake hoses and equipment to the rear of homes through a twofoot passageway If the buildings were burning it would be impossible LOGIC SLIPPING We believe that a few members of Newmarket town council ate slipping in their devotion to logic slipped Monday night during a discussion on a pro posed reduction of the speed limit to miles per hour The proposal was defeated and a number of arguments used against it were remarkable for their lack of logic One member asked how anyone could tell the dif ference between and It also war sug gested that two more police officers would be required to enforce the lower speed limit thus requiring a larger police budget Another point was that the north traffic lane of Davis Drive in some areas is in East township and that a limit would be in force on Hie south traffic lane and a mph limit on the north lane A member also said that there are in efficient budget funds to pay for the changes i The arguments are not valid The method of en forcement and the ability of the police department to enforce any speed limit has no relation to a legal limit on the traffics rate of speed Enforcement should be the subject of a separate debate As for Davis Drive surely the township of East Gwillimbury would find it acceptable to cooperate with the town and set a mph limit on the same roadway The department of high ways finds that it can lower the limit on its roads paus ing through communities We also doubt that the town would suffer in being required to paint a few speed limit signs at the entran ces to the town WHERE ARE OUR HUNGRY FIGHTERS There was a ghost at the Charter Day dinner of Victoria College in Toronto this week the ghost of a hungry fighter This scowling savage apparition was conjured up by a most unlikely medium scholarly Murray G Ross vicepresident of the University of Toronto Canadas universities need hungry fighters he said not for their boxing teams but in their class rooms The absence of this kind of person someone highly motivated by a burning desire to succeed or to excel is being felt throughout all of North American society Dr Ross saw the hungry fighters of Russia and China during his recent travels In those countries he was struck by an awareness of backwardness a desire lo catch up a vision of future greatness a determina tion to do ones share in a great collective effort Back in Canada he senses afeeling that progress is inevitable that great personal effort is not essential in life that striving for excellence is antiquated Our universities face the wrong kind of pressure from two directions Dr Ross said They are in the midst of a selfsatisfied society that has settled into middleaged respectability And in our cul ture from which will come the university students of tomorrow there is a carefully cultivated habit of in exactness indifference a imperfection He told of one very bright boy of who deliberately fries not to secure any grade higher than B in school lest he find himself in disfavor in his group Universities must remain intolerant of prevailing attitudes and practices he insisted Soviet teaching on the whole is inferior to our teaching But Soviet learning in the classroom is superior to our own The Soviet student has been trained since grade one to listen carefully to work at home or in Hie on his own to accept the fact that much of learning depends on his own work The Canadian student wants the teacher to inform him interest him and humor him without asking him to exert himself Dr Ross did not use only the Soviet system as a comparative yardstick He said that when a professor says good morning to a class at Oxford students reply with good morning But if a professor says good morning to his class in a Canadian university there is a good chance that some students will write it down guests of Mr and Mrs James Mr and Mrs Howard Brady and family Port Credit visited Mrs A Lockie on Sunday view Man visiting her
