practice of the science of lure as it exists today The world has moved into the jet ago and is indeed on the verge of the nuclear one Therefore it may very well be that in the light of these rapidly changing times there wilt have to he a revamping of agriculture along with other Industries which have been stabilizing mainstays of the nations economy in earlier and less complicated times For certainly on the 1jhms of the fig ures available locally at the present time the trend is definite and unmistakable and it would be folly to ignore it To an increasing degree this populous and fer tile area is becoming an urban and Indus- trial one Factories and commercial en terprises arc springing up everywhere and to the extent that they arc doing so they ob ait displacing agriculture On the other hand there will always be a need for a substantial agricultural balance in the overall economic makeup of the county This is only sound com mon sense and the matter is one that should be engaging the attention of gov ernment civic and business leaders Too many areas in the past have put all their eggs in one economic basket and have lived to rue the day that they did so York County must not make that mistake and in the period of progress and advancement that lies ahead there must he due and adequate provision for main taining a healthy and ample agricultural community It may be that the emphasis will have to he changed and new practices and techniques introduced But if it is to continue to progress and advance through the years in a stable and practical man ner York utility must retain a strong agricultural community as one of the en during bases of its progress and pros perity Measures Organization is unfortunately not un usual This Is unfortunate thereby contusion The utilization of receiving wholehearted cooperation of our churches schools in dustry trade unions and a wide variety of community organizations This is sure ly the best proof that Buddings within make It desirable to fly a distinctive Canadian Flag received from another source of Information on this mat ter from Ottawa The Can adian Government can re quire Government offices to fly the particular flag which Is authorized but no one else can be compelled as this Is not a matter of breaking PRESERVE HUMAN RIGHTS Elsewhere in this issue appears a from Premier John referring to Human Rights Day which occurs this year on December 10 Needless to say we are glad to commend this communication to the thoughtful and sympathetic consideration of our readers particularly the younger ones to whom it should have a special appeal r It ta 14 years ago that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was made and since that time over the years On tario governments have worked with dili gence to make the code effective the Premier quite properly and aptly points out the government has now brought all the pieces of legislation on this subject passed since 1944 together into a single an consolidated statute The scope of the Ontario Human Rights Commission has been enlarged a full time director and additional staff have been named and plans are under way for I an expanded educational program The premier also notes with a degree of gratification and satisfaction that this program is receiving active and whole hearted cooperation in churches schools industry trade unions and a great variety of community organizations The premier also serves a very use- purpose when noting such negations of human rights elsewhere as the Merlin Wall He points out that we in this country must not be blind to the walls of prejudice that exist right within our borders For that they do exist in many spheres is no secret and is one of the shames of this country There are reli gious and racial prejudices in more than one part of Canada There are color bars in some communities Newmarket and district are fortunate indeed that nothing of the nature exists in this lo cality But we cannot afford to be compla cent The matter is indeed far too seri ous to be complacent about We must unceasingly and unremittingly condemn Intolerance and bigotry in no matter what form they appear wherever they rear their ugly heads That is our mini mum duty as good citizens maintaining the basic democratic traditions of Ibis There he neither Jew nor Gen tile bond nor free That in the dictum given by the Man of Nazareth almost MO centuries ago That dictum is just as valid today as was voiced on the shores of the Sea of Galilee Today as Premier so truly and properly points out Ibis is a subject on which we must stand up and be count We must take our stand with men and women of good will everywhere to ensure equality of before the law and in society which should be the inalienable right of ever free bout citizen
