THE ERA York Count Since TERRY CARTER JOHN W Police have happy association with carnival of the t park at Wesley Brooks C pie the free beans hot drinks sleigh rides skating and other Bobbys magic show And there was a note of irony While the carnivalgoers were enjoying the hospitality of Yorks policemen the town Torontonians were gathering at their city hall to prove they still hold their policemen in high regard such a demonstration here It done and were glad and have continued their happy a to all the other people In Dan Shannons recr tion department and the other organizations Dont blame the

automobiles than a completely satisfactory substitute will be quickly found In the meantime senior levels of government should provide grants to local municipalities to provide tertiary facilities to

letter was from Mr Rick GIov He mentioned my previous weeks in The Era in which I discussed the role Export Development Corporation in financing debate had ended Members have spoken In Parlia- who hope to be able to address Parliament prior led to leave sufficient time so that returns could and assessed before I spoke on the certainly before I voted on the issue date we have received almost replies questionnaire Such a response nearly of the total mailing Is of Inestimable representative In Ottawa Mr felt three other points should have en asked in the questionnaire and I would like explain why they were not he why the death penalty should be imposed In all cases of murder other than those who are found to be insane Our initial question simply asked if the respondent was in favor of the death penalty for certain crimes A yes vote on this question without subsequent qua lification would indicate to me that the respondent was In favor of Imposing the death penalty in all the present suggested amendment to Code is defeated the law with respect has occurred with little is may occur in a fight or in a fit irt I feel our questionnaire allowed answer the general alternative as were for or against the death pen s why the Cabinet this Royal by the Cab inet but unfortunately the government has not chosen to raise this question Now it would necessitate a separate Bill being Introduced which Is virtually im possibly for a private Member to do effectively Gov ernment Bill cannot be amended with respect to commuting the death sentence unless the govern ment does it themselves Mr s third point that there should be an alternative to hanging such as execution by gas falls into he same category That change would also require a separate Bill and unless the government wilt take that responsibility there is little prospect of private Members effectively having the matter debated and passed Bill would retain the death penalty with re spect to killing of policemen and prison guards A private Member may amend the Bill to Include addi tional crimes to which the death penalty will apply for example where death occurs as a result of sky jacking kidnapping rape hired killing or drug self help politicians and their s that Bill question overwhelming indie as to date supports this stand asked if vigilante committees should hope regardless of the outcome of Bill will never be necessary In any commu found his letter most interesting and hope he will continue to take an interest in our vities in Ottawa Mr Glover indicated in his letter that he wa appalled that I a Conservative would there are Russian developers He states this is com pletely untrue in that Russia is a totalitarian state therefore all businesses and developments are own ed and controlled by the government True enough but I would suggest that Mr Glov er has taken the word developer in a different defines developer as one who brings from a latent to an active or viable state and I was simply refer ring to the fact that be it State owned or otherwise there are developers In Russia who are construct ing a Ford factory in that country American entre preneurs with financing assistance from the Export- Import Bank of the United States are helping the Russians build their factory I find It unfortunate that smaller businessmen in our riding and country who could perhaps share with American companies in the construction of the factory are not more ef fectively assisted by our Department of Industry Trade and Commerce and the Export Development Corporation I note Mr Glovers exasperation at the thought of having Canadian loans extended to communist countries at substantially lower Interest rates than arc available on mortgages In Canada I trust how ever he understands my position which Is that the present government Ottawa has not only facilitat- sia Yugoslavia Rumania Cuba and but in so doing they have benefited mainly large Canadian ex porters with virtually no attempt to facilitate the activities of smaller concerns I am certainly pleased to see constituents tak ing an interest In our activities and that The Era affords them a forum to express their views Yours truly MPs stand Dear Editor met on the Sinclair Stev ens editorial concerning the Olympic Games to be held in Montreal in I disapprove of any scheme which will take private property from Canadian citizens in the form of increased taxes or inflation Government was organized to protect subdivision We they would never turn a gun on a human being This statement by Guy Silverman in your should have read by will be pounding the table and saying that they wo- preposterous statement if for some violate I an Olympic Games being held in our country but am opposed to it be ing paid for through high and Mr Trudeau are so eager for these games to be held In Canada let them finance it out of their own pockets instead RICK GLOVER which if permit vill be a second against the neigh- a hunter would without bathing an eye shoot and kill every human be ing in sight My dear Mr Silver man if these are your true thoughts and beliefs then I convey my deep est sympathies to you category that Mr itely not hunters The people that wander Into nearby would include high Doesnt want jug milk store Our small neighbor hood store at 340 Eagle St has now been closed the Newmarket Planning Committee We have been told it is to be repiuccd by a jug milk store which will operate day in and day out at entirely unrestric ted hours in a resident ial neighborhood A chain milk store destroys present residen tial values and future commercial but where could you find quieter neighbors plan or land down and walk out with a piece of machinery which Is designed to bill animals and people It is a shame that true hunters could quite possibly be ruined by the few badapples in every thing even in in be do right a destroy this neighbor hood with the twin pol lution evils of noisy idl ing fuel wasting motor cars and the litter of careless people Further If this jug milk store is to be sup ported by the as hunters These people are buying guns for the sheer pleasure of shooting them at any target just as Mr Sil verman mentioned A true hunter knows firearms like a mechan ic knows cars and when he purchases a gun It Is only after careful Why on their own time why i lot- In the subdivision Why did they have to do the investigation on their t from the whim Left words for car Editor will be pounding the sight and watching It shudder with the Impact and then drop but with the hope of experiencing few hours

hours In the Newmarket police got the carnival going by themselves and now with assist ance from the recreation department and the New market firemen and others carry on the three day affair with unselfish devotion tragic I suggest its because hey dont view their jobs as simply Jobs That may sound trite and I guess all policemen arc supposed feel that way Maybe they nil do I id again the local guys seem to make it more obvious I dont think you could get one of these fellows to put It in so many words but all fee a respon sibility to his own and to we the people They have an Ira of how it should be to live here In Newmarket and as long as they arc assigned here wilt do any thing and everything to obtain that result They arent concerned about arresting drug users as much as they arc with stopping the local kids from ruining Ihemselves with pot hash mcth and all other weird and deadly drugs dont keep a running tally on the number of Impaired drivers theyve taken off the roads in day hut they do know theyve prevented many a t with I of lives offenses committed under the eye of any cop In his regular shift must be infinitesi mal The local guys known which ones are important trends must he curbed who needs a friendly hut firm word at just right time Stevenson and Wilson are only two of a breed of policeman that Is now spread throughout the region Bill Hill Is now
