June 1903 Mayor Dice wishes it understood that no bathing will be allawed in the pond here at any time and at the head of the pond only after dark, with bathers ta wear bathing suits. T1hose who violate the aboya regula- tions will be prosecuted. Is there any good reason why the old fashioned verandas which have disfigured Main Street for generations and some of which are shaky should be allowed ta stand until tbey fail down of their own accord'? They should be remnoved and they should go along witb the wooden sidewatks which are about to be tom up. Their owners should follow the exaniple of the council and get out of the old rut and unite ta mod- ernize the town. County Council heard Lou Prentice ask permission for the Milton Lawn Tennis Club ta play on the Court House square (Victoria Park).

It's more affordable than you think! Dear Editor: The Champion's Tuesday edito- rial entitled 'We'll give Martin a try' tells the reader that your Canada is an inclusive Canada. When 1 reflect on the past tbrec- and-a-hall decade', of Canada", history. I have extreme difficulty perceiving very înuch that 1 would deeru ta bc inclusive. My Canada would neyer bave accumulaîed a national debt of between $7(X0 and $750 billion wasted on officiaI and unofficial language policies and practices that have benefited an elite minority wbose economic interests are served by tbreatening Uicernajority. My Canada wouldn't have a finance minister wbo, following 25 years of weak fiscal managernent by prime ministers from a single province, abrogated a federal- provincial agreernent on bealtb care transfers, raided the ernploy- ment insurance and public service, military and RCMP pension fund surpluses ïa the tune of billions af dollars, increased Canada Pension Plan premiums and disqualified an untold number of people entitled ta El byenefits for wbicb tbey paid prerniurns. It didn'î take a sound fiscal man- ager who owns a sbipping cornpa- ny registered in a Barbarian tax avoidance baven ta do these things. It took pressure frorn international financial institutions and credit rat- ing agencies ta force Uic govern- ment's hand. My Canada would allow ail chul- dren ta be scbooled in the language of their choice. ù y My Canada would stop spending 127 times more of the taxpayers' -rnoney ta support the Francophone 1Games as is spent for aIl Canadian 1Olympie athletes. r My Canada would include a iproperly equipped military that's 1not forced ta sacrifice their mcm- bers' lives in flinisy vebicles pro- 1duced on directed contracts. And my Canada includes a vote for Stephen Harper, the fellow wbo seerns ta bave The Champion and the rest of Uic left-wing media wbistlmng past Uic graveyard.

Bon Bezant Canada in desperate need of Senate reform Dear Editor: 1 bave came up with a fool proof mathemnatical plan regarding Senate reform that I'd like ta discuss witb political pundits. There are currently 308 seats in Parliament. I sug- gest that the Senate sbould always make up a third the number of seats in Parliament. Here are some other suggestions. - The Senate sbould be proportionate ta Uic number of members in Parliamnent - for example, three MIPs ta every anc Senate member. - AU recognized poitical parties should share in Uic Senate seats. For example, a party wiUi 33 seats in Parliamnent would bave 11 tests in Uic Senate. - In Uic cvent of a majority government, wbereby it could have more than 50 per cent of Uic Senate scats, I propose: AIl members bave a free vote and Urec- fi fths of Uic Senate be required ta pass a bill. This would shlow for a more democratie Senate, anc that isn't favaured ta any anc party. It would alto ashow Uic Quebecois and NDP ta, share in Uic Senate tsts. Eacb party would eboose their tenators as Uiey wisb, cither by nomination or by a vote amongst their own party members in wbatever district Uiey decide. lI ry opinion, this would create Uic Triple E Senate evcryonc is asking for 'Elected, Effective and Equsl'.
