winner in the SmileyToExpo contest According to Mr Smiley this column was of the first to arrive and just kept ing back into the finals By Edwin Mills Hamilton Ontario Once again the poor police have been pilloried in print This time by a letter in the Readers Era written by a lady who charges that East Gwillimbury and Newmarket police are more interested in catching speeders on their way to work in the morning than they are about curbing squealing tires and noisy mufflers from speeding cars along Davis Dr at night She suggests radar traps after pm to curb the speed and noise When it comes to speed traps the police are damned if they do and damned if they dont If they catch speeders in the morning someone says theres more speeders in the afternoon If they set up a speed trap in the afternoon someone says all the speeding is at night And so on The Era has advocated and still advocates speed traps on Davis Dr Speed traps are necessary on Davis Dr because its one street where cars can get up A head of steam without being impeded too much by vehicular or pedestrian traffic But theres still pedestrian traffic crossing Davis Dr and speeding cars are a danger Therefore The Era agrees with last weeks letter to the editor even though sympathy is extended to the harried police departments Each of the two departments has only so many men to spare for traffic duty and Davis Dr is only one street in the municipalities The subject is pheasants and I live on an island in the to which snot I came some five weeks ago together with a car full of the usual clothing food etc and perched on top of every thing a carton containing two cock pheasants My wife a rather bland and gentle creature with whom I lived comfortably for nigh on years had her doubts from the ordered three hens from the same source of supply and we had no trouble naming them ie Christine and Handy I watched John carefully through the glasses and two days after the gals arrived his tail was high and his eye was bloodshot Then disaster struck First when there was no sign of and associates for a week I decided to institute a search I fear they were double wing clipped by mistake and after a day or so of Lester and Johns company they just went high on a windy hill and took off over water and this be ing their first flight since being clipped and put in the shipping carton their feather power plants were insufficient They probably came down got water logged and sank I add that John and Lester passed by the US Congress in the past 10 years which has legal ly outlawed segregation and put an end to discrimination in such public facilities as schools hotels and cafes little genuine progress has been achieved toward gration with the person we ESS both tried it twice went over start I add that unless you keep top abmt f fowl in cartons on a level keel paddled back they scratch and fight ji Then Lester got dive bombed by To avert the crista I suggested a redtailed hawk our biggest next choose names for the little beg- to eagles He got to cover but it n scared the living hell out of him and Lester is a bird of peace at any price So he sat down with John and probably said Come let us reason together this is getting to be too damn dangerous be sides the lady birds are gone let us take wing on the morrow or of equivalent elo quence Peter Gorman the chairman of the committee of and

room Several times I have been lucky enough to my car Into one of the spaces i The hardest part comes after I have gotten into the parking space Its the big question as to I whether or not to feed the park ing meter Since I dont live in Newmarket I have asked residents and merchants if I should put some coins in the parking meter Moat of them dont know if the parking meters are working or even if they are checked regularly I dont mind putting money into the meters but a few times Ive done it only to lose my coin and not get any reaction from the meter Naturally I as sumed that the meters were no longer In use t The next time I came I didnt bother to feed the meter While in one of the stores I was inform- that the meters were now be- checked regularly So I sprint ed back to my car hoping to reach it before the meter man did I was lucky enough to win that race but may not be In the future So will please let me know what condition the meters are in for next weeks shopping trip ITS Dear Editor Let me take this opportunity to publicly thank Canadian Nation al Railways for their daily alarm clock service for Newmarket resi dents Since I moved to Newmarket Ive never once had to set my alarm clock to awaken myself in the morning For you see Cana dian National Railways does this for me Its really a unique service too v- 1 guess the CN executives realiz ed that used to be chronically one minute late to work in the morning Allowing for the extra time I would need to make it on time CN schedulers were nice enough to send a train through one hour earlier Just imagine my ecstatic anti cipation in the early morning hours as I hear the call of the wild from a CN rumbling into Newmarket The twomile warn ing that its engineers sound before they reach the town thoroughly rouses me But you see Im pretty sneaky and the cagy engineers must rea lize that I doze off again after they reach the first crossing here So just as they pass my house they sound the warning again blur- out Reveille in Morse code This one bounces me right out of bed Then Im thoroughly awake cheery and bright ready to face another day Some people would complain that from the last CN blast around midnight until the early morning one a person barely gets enough sleep to exist Rut not me After need On the way up Lester got into a hell of a fight with his loyal opposition and arrived without his tail attached that is Lester of course was a bird of peace his namesake gets medals for it so the whole thing gave him an inferiority complex and he hid for a week Over the years the venture has of the suburbs remain nearly all been selfsupporting with fees for lessons and admission kept low in comparison to other places of this sort and to other forms of enter- John however was just like the other John and with the field to himself he strutted preened and squawked gawd how he squawk ed all day long Lester abdicated a week ago and we hear him dally from the deep woods on the mainland I cant say that he actually followed the route of the gals because infer ences might he drawn and a Royal Commission appointed to Investi gate It might even topple the Government There is really of course yet a third view to the racial situa tion in the United States arid that is the view of the black nation alists who vow to destroy Ameri can society as a way of ultimately achieving control of their lives Sort of an Americanized masters of our own house theme so less worthwhile Instruc tion and supervision is done by students in their vacation tint who have come up through the ranks of Red Cross lessons and an old farm hand I made several trails of cracked com and wheat ending at a feeding place in front of my chair and window John being conscious of the im portance of Number One Manito ba hard in his life caught on first and within a few days was doing his stuff right in front of my wife I r Hut watching the two cocks both single wing clfpjicd I fell there was more to the droop of their appearance than just the small loss of a few feathers So I Old John however excites our admiration He just stays on and on and on and on I think his squawk is that there is nothing repeat nothing to bent good old western Canada wheat So be ing in dire straits myself I am entering this pica that you accept my story ami send me your che que by return mail so I can go to the trading post and get some more of the real stuff for good old John keep the operation in admirable liar here in discussions about Que- discipline This is a perfect place to observe And just as every generation of children do recognize rule nationalists In Quebec must try to and how the outdo its predecessor so every able to handle generation of Negro leadership in charge as they the United States become yet
