T Cnadian stateenan, Bowmanvlll, Sem. 29, 198i5 IDITORIAL COMMENT Mosport Takes Its Knocks 'We didn't go to Mnsport Park for the Orand Prix on Saturday and ap- parentlY a greait many other people stàYèd away ton, because the attend- ance was comparatively smaîl and the fiaancial lmsi tn British Empire Motor Club about $20,000. - l-lowever, we have no -intention of jôining the crities who ibis week have bèèn panning the setup for lack of this and that; they have enough troubles on their hands without us joining the Jôhnny-come-latelies. Our reason for staying home was twofold. We had other things to do and the injury to world champion driver John Surtees just a few hours alter we had been tualking to hlm left a sick feeling in the pit nf our stomach. That was the main r*eason we didn't attend. Also, so far as our readers are concerned, general interest in the project appears to be sorely lacking, a 1 t h o u g h goodness knows we have given it more publicity than bas been warranted. We cari go back bo the days wben a shoe salesman called aI one of the local stores and expounded a dreamn about taking over the property Ihat is now Mosport for a magnificent sports car racing track. At that lime, it was to have every facility, including a buge restaurant, f lush toilets, separate camp- îig armas, lush green grass and so ou. Next came a promoter wbo really sold the idea to many local organizabions and persuaded some to invest their mn.oney ini the scheme. Eventually, the dream hecame a reality, alt1er a great deal of intensive work by many sports car enthusiasts and motor clujbs, aided and- abetied bvy co-operation from quite a large number of local folks in various capacities. Chambers of Commerce In this area and service clubs joined in the parade of supporters. Almost everyone thought it was goîng to be a great boon ta the area. In some ways it was just that for motels, service stations, and certain service groups, and it did and does provide considerable part time employ- ment for the ladies who work in the refreshment booths. But, for many reasons Mosport has neyer quite achîeved its potential, and last week- end's series of unfortunate accidents isn't going to help the cause one bit. We feel deeply unhappy for Ihose who have put their hearts and souls into trying to keep Mosport alive as a going concemn, and stili hope they wiII be able to do something about it, other than turning it back into pastureland again, or a test track fer one of the car companies. But, at the moment, its future doesn't appear ton bright. Locally, we doubt very much if Mosport will ever receive the support that the Watkins Glen populace gives to ils race track. Service Clubs and other organizations have attempted to co-operate with the place with disas- trous resuits. It will be difficuit tb again arouse their enîhusiasm. They and many others have had their fingers burned during the past few years and are nlot ]ikely to gamble again. So, only lime will bell the tale of MVospori. It was a tremendous dreamn and may stili prove to be great; after ail 50,000 fans have gathered there on occasion and such a crowd certainly shows there is tremendous Interest in car racing. We can only hope il will survive, while expressing sincere sym- pathy for, the volunteer rnarihals, the organizers and the car clubs who, at the moment, are taking a beating irom the press. - Now is the time for ahl good men (or wornen) to corne t the aid ni tbe community. Something along this vein us used in newspaper circles when trv- Ibg out a typewriber bo sec if ib is work- irng properiy, but the above has a dii- Larent connotation so far as we are qoncerned. We nierely wish bo draw to th'e attention, of Bowmanville citizens iâpecially, the fact that the two ycar term of office for Iown council, public titiities commission, certain members efthe board of education, etc., expires this December, and now is the lime <o± something- to be done about bhe dltation. -So fatr, we have heard only faint Ïurnblings to indicabe that anyone, Cher than the incumbent members of mnunicipal council, is thinking in terms *f promoting sonne new names and t>ces. Cari it be that there is such gen- eral satisfaction with present council zàembers, or the ruling public utilities ersonnel, that there are no complain- ents or individuals who feel bhey could do a better job, if they were in these garticular posts? We doubt il very r.ftuch. Instcad, we suspect that many persans wauld actually like bo serve on eaunicipal counicil, to bring forward their ideas for improvement in the týiwn's affairs. But, prnbably, bhey are reluctant ta commit tbemselves. They mnay have no experience in electioncer- iior in council procedures and feel tjiey could be embarrassed due bo their teck of knowledge. This shouldn't deter Uier ncn iota, if thev feel they cari giake a real contribution to bbc com- "The haud thal rocks the cradle tin be a grp.at influence in making men enore safety conscious and can render * worthwhiie contribution in bbcei-e- duction ai accidents and the' saving ni Ilves."' Sa slated iJ. W. Hcenlt'v, or Haili- ton, President. of the Industriai Acci- dent Prevention Associations in an rip- peai to bhc womprn of this communitv to share in a prnvincc-widc October Safety Campaigu. 1"if wi ves, mobheî-s and sweetbearts iyill gel wholeheartedly behind Ibis qampaign arid use their influence bu :ýiake their men moue safetv conscinus and ta use prescuibed safeîv e qtipment, wve should be able bu make Octber- an 4ïceident-free montb," Mr. Henley said. -He pninted out that in 1964 more e~an 100 workers in I.A.P.A. compan- os lost Ibeit- ]ives tbî-ougb industrial Ucidents and diseases while a total oi ~,364 compensation cases wcî-e report- é-- muniby. The mechanics of bbc positions can be leamned quite quickly by devot- ing a bit of limne and effort. And there is always a crying need for intelligent administrabors on council or bbc other boards who arc willing to devote their spare lime efforts ta the job. Uniortunately, many able people in Ibis community will work Iheir hcads off in church wnrk, service club or frabernal organîzations, but steer clear ni becoming involved in local polibics for somne odd reason. There is nothing parbicular]y mysterlous about munici- pal politics. It is an above board acti- vity Ihat is one of the most important functions in bbc tnwn. A gond, alert, active council can do a great deal for any community or a poor one can do just the opposite. There is no job witb- in acommunity that is more important thal belng on cauncil, handling the afiairs ni a town such as Bowmanville, or bhc school board's pogram or bbc public utilities. These are big busines- ses, involving the expenditure ai many tbnusands ni taxpayers' dollars and if the administration is to be lef t b in- compebent people, il just isn't gond enough. Su, now is the lime bo start think- ing about il, not two hours before the nomination meeting. If you ledl you can obtain the support ni bbc bown's electors and are confident that ynu can make a contribution bo the cause, bbe field is wide open for newcomers and the need is great. "Have a go. Joe, and the best ni luck bu you," quoting an nid army saying. ed bo the Workmen's Compensation Beard of Ontario. "When a workman is involved in an accident it rneans pain and suffering for him personally. But it also resuits in anxiety, heartache and hardship for bis famnily," Mr. Henley pointed oui. "Ontario's labour force is growing by leaps and hounds and each year m ore women workers are joining its ranks,' he continued. "Because of this, women workers, too, are frequently in- voived in industrial accidents and it is a!so essential that they become more safetv conscious." TÈhe objective of the Industrial Ac- cident Prevention Associations, he ex- plained, is bo reduce injuries per 1,000 workers, at least 10 percent each year and permanent disabilities and deaths bo a minimum. .Slogan for the 1965 October Safety Campaign is "Safety Now - Not Now and Then."

(c) The breakfast that I attended at the local Salvation Army Citadel was short on religion, and long on good food, scrved with a sinile by the ladies of the Corps. As this event was ini connection with the Centenary of the founding of the S.A., it xvas only natural that, Brigadier Hawkes ,;hould tell how, ini 1865, William Booth started bis great work among the riff-raf f then existiug in the east part of the City of Lo ndon, England. Whal. the Brigadier didn't know was that vour scribe was once a part of that uiff-raff, vho, until the agec of eight years, lived in London's East end, and remembers his parents telling of how gangs of touighs peitcd William Booth, and his supporters, with rotten eggs, fruiit, and v-egetal[es at the street corner open air ser'Vices.
