4 TheoCnadien Champion, Wed. Nov. 16,1977 !tiapionEditoridl P*g Decision shows sight Milton Council han shows fore- sight in its decision not 10 pursue sale of thse present fise ball ai this time. By setaining il in municipal ownerssip the tos can do much Ira assure a vibrant cose in the downtown. It was ini 1865 that Joseph Martin gave thse site for "a neos Market House". Thal oas the precent town bal, osicb oves the years lbas included a farmers' market, lawyess' offices, an auditorium, library and other amenities. These oas, booever. neyes a toosn square. Today, oitis tbe present direction of council, tbat square could be on ils way Irareality. Purcbase of the Sunoco property adjacent 10 the toosn baIl bas made il possible to move in the easterly direction, tooard the present municipally-owned fise bal. This land ownersbip oilI provide for a centrally located municipal complex and square thal oould be the envy of every othes com- munity, centred as il oould be by a oselI restosed pre-Confederation Towen Hall. if the post office becomes available 10 the municipality ose oould endosse municipal ooner- chip of Iat as oeI, so il might continue 10 serve in ils present form, as offices cubher for sent or for municipal use. Location of tise frmers' nmarket each oeek during tise summer. an close proximity to thse town hall, osould restore an nid custom and provide additional intereat. Use of the fire hall property as a tran- sportation centre for bus stops, oaiting roomn and other community oses oould be a logical evolution to the municipal s trip. The oisdom of municipal oonership in the area, may flot be totally visible for years, but the objective set now oilI certainly be oelcomed in the future. Take a mental aerial vieos, then, of the heart of thse old toosn and you'll see open space and protected areas like Rotary Park, thse Mill Pond and Centennial Park, and thse Kernighan property ohich hopefully might revert to ifs historie designation of Livingstone Park. A whole series of walkosays could fan out along the oaterosays of thse Sixteen and thse municipal complex could continue to exhibit. say the post office, oitb ita sentinel- ike dlock, the toosn hall of pre- Confederation vintage, a market square and transporta tion centre. The long-term effect osould be to give the ares those unique features ohich areao necessary. By agreeing not to purcue the sale of the fise hall at this time, the toosn counil bau the opportunity 10 reflect on the long-term posibilities for such an attractive and traditionat heart lu the com- manity. Rais e drinking age At first glunce one cold ie tempted 10 agreoitis Oakvilte Councillor Carl Erikaro's assertion that lise sussent maya Ira increane the age limit for drisking from 18, to 19 os 20 is much ado about notbing and that tise proposante are basing lieir argument an a terrible situation tiat doso't exisi. But liera ara coma statisticc that are Iard to quarraI oiti. Tise Ontario Select Committee an Highosay Safety shows lise par- centage rf 16 fo 19 yaar-otds in- volved in alcoisol retatad collisions. The report says 5.5 per cent of sucb accidenta isvolved tisose young drivers in 1967 but by 1975 that prcestage jumped 10 37.2 per cent. TIse age limit oas looesed in 1971 and the change in stalistics is the inlervening yeass is nolhisig lesu tban sbocking. Researcis dose by lise Addiction Resc-arch Foundatton indicaten about ose quarter of the higis school studenta go drinking on an average of once a oeek. Wiile Erikuen contends there in really aira erious problem in the iigi sechrarls, the Ontario Head- masters Councit takes a dimmes vîeos. Toso years agr, tise cooscil, osiicis consista of Ontarioa higis schoot principals, passed a resolution urging that the age limit be incseased in toso phase-firnt t10 19 and ties 10 20. The principals sbould knoos the situation in tise scisoot, and theis expression of concesn shouldn't be discousted ligbtly. Il noos seems evident Ihat the goversment oas ossong 10 looer tise legal age in 1971 and is noos prepared to correcltishe essor, a step iv tise right direction.
