and Member of Audit Bureau of Circulations and Class A Newspapers Serving Newmarket and the rural districts of North York fear of publication Published every Wednesday at Charles St Newt Company Limited Subscription for two year I are each Member of Class A Weeklies by the Newmarket Era Express for one year in advance Dear Sir la Canadian Weekly Newspapers THE EDITORIAL PAGE WEDNESDAY J I OF SEPTEMBER NINETEEN HUNDRED AND SIXTYFIVE MORE FOR CANADA Newly announced immigration fig- res for the first six months of thii year show welcome jump over those the comparable period of 1064 versus an increase of per cent Canadas need for more people is too obvious to necessitate any defence of this upswing in Suffice it to say that for the most part those destined to enter itho labour force roughly half skills which are badly wanted and fewhlch will help open up new jobs And as consumers they and their dependents fwilt enlarge the Canadian domestic market as have two million others be- I- fore them over the past 20 years Two other points arc worth One is thnt we lose something like people every year through emigration to the United States and elsewhere We have lo make up at least tllis number each year through im- migration before we register any gain from outside the country I Secondly while quite a few of the children who arrive here may not bo able to speak either English or French the chances are as onetime im migrant youngsters showed in last months high school graduation results that several years from now some at least of those coming this year will Know one or even both languages so veil as to be among those gaining lop honours SQUEEZE PLAY It is a rare occasion indeed when another newspaper gives our editorial column the study we perhaps think it merits and when our friend at the Aurora Banner falls into this category and takes the time to comment it tends to cause us to swell with pride Knowing where our opposite num bers political interest lies we suspect ed that our reference to the Progres sive Conservatives candidate activity would bring a veiled rebuke and this is alright with us for we respect his right to have an opinion and the desire to express it in a forthright manner We notice that the Liberals have set up a campaign committee room just to the south of The Banner and the Progressive Conservatives are just as firmly entrenched immediately north of the newspaper office so perhaps not of his own choosing our friendly enemy Inadvertently becomes the middle man CONTROLLED RECREATION Judging from comments gleaned from several quarters Newmarkets attempt to have a fulltime recreation director and arena manager seems doomed due to what might best bo described as a conflict of interests During the short time Don has been here he has accomplished a considerable amount of work much of it on paper as he plotted a course for extended recreational activities Ice time generally a rather controversial subject at this time of the year has been allocated in a manner which pro vided a little more time for minor hockey Interests and the figure skaters than I was available last year ami probably everyone was happy Sir Pecore feels that the terms of his employment as spelled out when interviewed for the job do not apply completely now he is here On the other hand there are ap parently some who feel his area of au thority should be limited to pave way for a control of some activities by groups A Recreation Commission meeting planned for Tuesday night Sept will bring recriminations and criticism but if the end result clarifies the situation and makes it possible for Newmarket to continue with an ex perienced recreation director under suitable to all concerned any hurt feelings should be quickly mended THE ARMY NEEDS YOU The New York reporter who an the letter wit Yes Virginia there IS a Santa would probably be echoed by few residents and some transients through Newmarket if they could scribe the daily nightly and never- ending help given by the captain The Can officers and members of the local Sal- has Army Corps when need is urgent Jn medicare and imperative They arc Nature has designed humans Issues that mrily with a casehardened with to suffering almost on their doorstep and an urge to donate thousands of breastboating dollars when they hear of the same situation on the other side of the con- the tinent The Salvation Army lied Shield long as someones Appeal on the local level has just s passed the mark and the situs- tion has reached the desperate stage tt it not With average expenditures estimated cause virtually at even before the heavy com- everyone mittments of Winter start it appears and thai there could be many hungry young to mouths ami worrywracked parents lie fore Spring- ihaAomcone If its an emergency or even if its people nunc not the Army is there and in the majority of cases it does not take time lo consult the Municipal Act or some hairsplitting amendments which appears have adhered to the act over the past few years under a Many of these services are not even touched by any other organization in the town accommodation for strand- families clothing for those who need mem the basic covering not Just a new Kail suit help for unmarried mothers yes Newmarket has its share of these too help for the alcoholic sometimes No in the middle of the night Another m problem is the deserted wife perhaps plan with a small family just another ex- ample showing that if the letter of the law were followed she could starve seek oil to death before help arrived except for move the Army j Captain Newman has the re- efficient and he pets full support from his small group of dedicated mem- cove hers here There are some heavy calls t on our purses for charitable Many lions but this one should have priority The Army is willing to handle the heartbreak degradation and many just as times filth which human beings seem to be able to get themselves into but petition they need help right here in sponsor Newmarket Some of those case are pitiful but lets face it they The price of a good meal from most cheaply of us would hardly mean we might starve this winter but it would mean making a thankless job a little easier for this dedicated group it could have been son YOUR daughter per or YOUR husband and above all it in is YOUR community Lets dig a little deeper it wont hurt that much and you can rest assured there will be many heartfelt prayers go out from the Citadel 1 Child Drive great pleasure we received an Aurora honorable mention with our Sept 1063 presentation of

the flow of traffic and eliminating bottlenecks in the vicinity of the Plaza peak shopping times The addition of sidewalks was also pleasing to pedestrians and removed the worry sonic motorists experienced when they encountered children walk ing along the edge of the toad as was often the case in the era Notwithstanding the prominence of SO miles per hour speed signs on Davis Drive there have been many instances of drivers using the new pavement as A recent instance occurred with Sim for A when ears reported to be mnv- tin in excess of HP were the cause doctors id of a serious accident between Niagara while and Main streets Von In view of this and other incidents it i would seem a necessity to cither install the traffic speed control devices or have fourlane road rigidly
