news of course bat really not during these days of everything costing more the Increase in property taxes A little better than seven mills increase for Newmarket property ownara compares favorably with a fivemill hike in King Township and rise in North Gwilllmbury Township Comparatively small as it la the Newmarket tax hike is still a blow But the blow can be softened by spreading the payments through- out the year Who of us can reach into our pockets and pull out to pay lour tax bill I Few of us can afford to scrape together 150 twice a year to pay our taxes when we are faced with other bills to pay But many of us with a little will feel that the tax blow is softened if we can make four friendly payments of ri By Ray The very real problem of a government can today govern with the

fun This fun involved knocking over mail boxes and stop signs in King Township They were caught appeared in court and were fined a total of Crown Attorhey Arleigh Armstrong described the actions of these adult adolescents as becoming an outdoor sport in King Township He asked Magistrate Hollinrake to fine the men enough to take the sport out of the game Magistrate fine of to each of the two sportsmen is insufficient The in fines will go into the coffers the Crown What of the damage to the mail boxes What of the trouble the mail box owners went to put them right again Restitution for the damage caused plus a stiff fine would have been in order in this case Better still why not a stiff fine and an order to repair the damaged mail boxes Till m EHA Vernon Ave BC Dear Sir I In March of 1964 I wrote to Inform some one in your town old papers In my possession 1 addressed the letter to the Historical Society hoping It would reach some organization where they could be used The letter was not answered nor returned Now I am trying your newspaper I have four indentures two dated one and one Province of Upper There are also two pictures by one J Graham Newmarket They are showing part of a parade of the Newmar ket Fair in There are two horse drawn buildings replicas of school houses One is of logs with the date and three trustee names on a sign on top The other school was the modern school of also have an Greens Atlas and Diary Almanac which has been used as a scrap book A post card dated 1883 March mailed in Sharon to my grand father Mr Willis appointing him as Fence Viewer for that J I am the granddaughter of Cornelius Willis and born in IBM oh the Willis farm located Yoiigt in the township northwest and these papers down to me very truly i Dear Editor see that workmen are fixing up the potholes on the parking lot at the Newmarket Plaza While they are at it why dont they paint directional markers on the pavement I find It very confusing when Im turning off Davis Dr at the lights in the centre of the plaza Then when get onto the Plaza cars are coming at me from all directions If there were arrows painted on the pavement cars would be going in the same direction Mrs Peter Sweeney Dear Editor On behalf of the Newmarket Lions Club and the Easter Seal Committee I extend our sincere thanks for the fine support your newspaper gave us during our Annual Easter Seal Campaign know that our combined efforts Will help local area crippled child ren Although aa yet we have not Sometimes I envy the young But very often my heart aches for them They havent much in the way of armor you know in an adultdominated world And thats why they so often rebel and run away from home or get married or do something which even they know is stupid Todays young people arc fused and battered by an assault of sights sounds ideas they simply cant cope with Nothing is easier than to criti cise them Theyre spoiled rotten They have too much money Theyre bone lazy Theyre utterly selfish Theyre Immoral Theyre materialistic They have no sense of responsibility and so on There Is nothing that rasps mo more than that kind of talk And Im afraid far too adults are far too glib with it Perhaps the worst offenders arc old maids of both sexes hut were all guilty sooner or later Adults generally arc envious of young people From that envy springs a general rancor which comes out as a petulant disapproval of youth in general What causes the envy Mostly a host of misconceptions Todays generation of teenagers lias more money more freedom more luxury than any in history Its pretty hard for a man who grew up dur ing the depression and has worked like a dog all his life to be anything hut sore when ho sees a young punk just out of school riding around in a red con vertible with a doll lolling on his shoulder Hut what he doesnt remember in that while the kids have all the mores mentioned above they have some others They have more work more decisions more pres sures more problems more temp Certainly some teenagers are And so are adults when you look behind facade of aver age high school kid seems ho having you see a different pic ture First of all they spend six and a- half hours a day in school where they are supposed to be polite attentive industrious and obedient welter of rules Thais the For dessert they arc handed between two and three hours of homework Thats ninehour day Mac Many of them have afterschool and Saturday jobs Some are ex pected to do chores or help at home Others become involved in extracurricular activities which gobble the time Very very few have any hours to dream or read or just goof around the hours that arc so essential to any humans happiness and particularly so at this sensitive age I know whereof I speak My daughter came us almost in tears the other day She had just drawn up a list of things she had to do in the next two months and she had that horrible feeling weve nil experienced when things pile tip the point where we want to resign from the race Heres the list And remember this is on top of a ninehour school day Play Rehearsals night prac tices three nights performance Hand Concert night

Study for final in June And my daughter is no excep tion Other kids arc just as busy and just as much is expected of them They havent oven time to experiment with or sex They havent time go for a walk or listen to birds or realize its spring you feel like knock ing kids stop and ask yourself how youd like to finish a days work and then tackle about five more hours of demanding physical and mental activity Personally I wouldnt trade with them even if they did me back all those years between countries the policies of the vari governments appear in many respects to be at odds with the desires of the people In two of the countries Can ada and France the voters have failed to give significant support to the administration Canada has had to put tip with a minority government since first of Conservative coloring later of Liberal In France recent elections there saw the voters turn to a variety of opposition parties none of which are capable of governing the country It Is true that the United States voted heavily for one party and one man in tho presidential election Lyndon Johnson won one of the greatest victories in Amer ican history and set about to build a Great Society within a common concensus of what the people want ed done The goal of a great new John sonian democracy that would lead the world In an assault on mans problems of disease and has unfortunately fal len dismally short of reality Two years after the Republican partys debacle of the anti- Johnson feeling had spread so widely that the Republicans were able to make wide gains in the Congressional elections While few observers have yet gone so far as to predict that Mr Johnson could be defeated in the main reason they have not is simply that the Republicans dont seem to be able to produce anyone with the experience and the appeal to replace him Much the same situation pre vails in Canada where the publics acceptance or rejection of the Pearson government will be par tially tested in five byelections May 29 All of the seats were held by Liberals and as four of them are in Quebec there is every likeli hood of the Liberals retaining them The fifth seat however is in Sudbury in that industrial union town the is re garded as having an excellent chance of picking off the riding In Rritaln the reigning Labor party recently suffered a severe setback when the Conservatives captured Londons local govern ment in one of biggest domes tic upsets of a generation In addition Britain faces such severe economic problems that may well be the ability of either the or Con servative parties of solution A recent feature of western European government which has seen country after country faced with majority rule been to bring the opposition into the councils of power Both West Germany and Italy have witnessed the formation of coalition govern ments between oncebetter ideo logical enemies In showing an ability to reach a common agreement such parties as West conservative Christian Democrats and Its social istic Social Democrats are virtual ly admitting that efficient and de mocratic government cannot be achieved by hewing to the old party lines In Germany and Italy and to a
