While we are aware that a few aldermen aren't even worth a dollar' a year, the majority are worth far more than an annual 33.000 to $4,000 stipend. When one considers all the petty complaints they have to delve into, the never ending committee meetings they are required to attend, the twice or three times a week even- ing gatherings where they and their wives are asked to put in an appear- ance, and the numerous other respon- sibilities they have, Toronto aldermen should be paid at least $12,000 a year and those in the boroughs should be collecting at least $10,000. Only the mayors, in our opinion, are adequate- ly compensated for their momentous responsibilities. For local and Metro duties, Mayor Jack Mould is paid close to $20,000 and Mayor Jim Ser- vice about $24,000. The focus on youth is again becoming. evident in the growing agitation, seen best in the United States and Europe,. that the voting age be lowers ed to 18. Some of the fer- ment has reached to bor- dem of Canada, although considerably w a t e r e d down, as always. "If youve old enough to die for your country. you‘re old enough to have a say in its govern- ment" is one of the most telling arguments being used by Paris students.

But the law makers forget that many young people of 18 are now as responsible, or more responsible. than they were at 21. There is certainly a difference in maturity and under- standing between 18 and 21; there is also a dif- ference between 21 and 25, or 45 and 48. Theore- tically. the years in. crease wisdom. . Many lit-year-olds are responsible, and in fact some of them are more aware of the political circumstances than the older generation. The society being built now is the one they will have to live in. Needless to say. there are undesirable voters under 21, but there are some over 21, too. You George W. Bull liner commie; $9.00 Fun guarantee on mum. gutotttgtitrs.

It is an acknowledged fact of life that when one goes into politics, his job or business suffers immensely. Finaneially hard up, he therefore becomes vulnerable to lab- hyists and favor seekers who may of- fer an attractive inducement to swing a contract or deal their way. even if it isn't in the interest of the munici- pality. Unfortunately many do not look on it this way. We still hear people com- plaining: "No wonder taxes are so high with these guys paying them.. selves $18,000 a year." This kind of talk is entirely wrong as stipends paid to alderman and MPs are only a tiny fraction of one p.c. of total gov- ernment expenses. If aldermen double their pay tomorrow they have our complete support. Another reason is that you'll attract better calibre people in politics " offering them $12,000 a year' than you will be promising only a pittance of $4,000. When MPs two years ago voted to increase their salaries from $12,000 to $18,000 a year. it was the wisest move they ever made. CH ras9tt can't get away from that through an age barrier. Canadians are missing the full impact of the movement simply be. cause they are Canadian. It's not that we lack the ideas, but theories gain fo r m and substance south of the border. and come to us ready made for adoption. When the time for ndopion comes, its rank er late. The US., and even Quebec, lowered its drinking age years ago, and only now is there. muted discussion of do- ing the same here. It shows promise the future, but it's enough. - Youth has entered parliament in the shape, if not the age, of Pierre Trudeau. Perhaps he'll decide to let the young generation help to keep him where he is. Scarlett Albright, O.D. Optometrist 359 Koch M, Jun you"! of Dundu " Inning " Appoin'monv 1894 Wemm RA. Weston J. It.

Although I'm not I Roman Catholic, I am open minded enough to prelim that mm: "to pressure around the world eventually become: strong enough, the pope of the day will have to accept medically accepted forms of contracep- tion. I find the pope's stand confusing and demoralizing. Moat Catholic couples I know use chemical and mechanical form: of contraception simply because they believe that they ean't afford to raise larger families in the midst of today'a hou- sing crisis and spiraling inflation. Now there is a whole army of American theologians openly claiming that the contents of the encyclical are the pontiffs own opinion. This means that Catholics are free be guided by their own consciences in the matter of family planning. _. . . ', ___'-..-'.. ,._........,. The pope was quoted as saying that he " seriously alarmed about the post-War increase in pre- and extra, marital sex and also in marriages where contraceptives an used to prevent pregnancy. Perhaps he has a right to express concern, I don't know. But 1 do believe that he won't achieve'his aim by asking for a world ban of the Pill. His decision is doing his church immeasurable harm. I believe that churches of III denominations, humanists, non-believers and everyone else with a social conscience has a duty to teach sex in its proper perspective to the up and coming younger generations. Once the age of 18 to 21 has been reached however, the die has been cast and neither the pope nor the parent can any longer govern person" sexual mores. The days of telling the late teens and those in their 2thr, Ms and 40s what to do are over. Single or married and for better or for worse, the elders have had their say and their lessons have either been accepted or rejected. Cer. tainly most non-Catholics won't accept advice in these matters unless they voluntarily seek it. It also appears that many Catholics throughout the world feel the same way. Teaching responsible sex. as lie said before in this rolumn. should begin at a tender young age in the home, school and church. So far " the Roman Church's beliefs are concerned I can only agree. with its contention that that. the so-called population explosion is a myth and a falsehood that is used by many learned people as an excuse for the wretched poverty that plagues two thirds of this globe of ours. Since this column is comment on the encyclical, there istt't space to explore the question of population. But I do ask any who are prepared to reason if they would expect an end to world poverty in 20 to 30 years from now if every married couple - _ _ i . . ... _______tI_u A, In yen artery letter to Board of in Asia. Africa and South America could he compelled to have no more than two children. Now for a few more comments about Pope Paul's encyc- lica] on birth control. "Equally to be excluded." the text says. "as the teaching of the church has frequently declared, islie direct sterilization, whether perpetual or temporary, whether of the man or of the woman . . ." A devout Christian woman 1 know, who lost her baby and came very close to losing her own life, was permanently sterlized in a Hamilton hospital. She had no choice. Three different doctors told her that if she were to become preg- nant again, her life as well " that of her unborn child would probably be lost. . And certainly there are other cases in which it can be accurately predicted that a child will be born with a ter- rible abnormality. While I believe that all human beings have an equal right to life and that those with the intelli- gence of a idiot must be properly cared for by the state; 1 see nothing negative and much that is positive in I hur band or wife seeking voluntary sterlization. of even greater consequence than this however is the number of unborn children that the pope has inadvertently condemned to death before they are even given a chance to suck in their first breath of air. ln Peru and Chile where contraceptives are. outlawed. the illegal abortion rate is scandlously high compared to Canadian or even Swedish standards. Because these people are denied the use contraceptives. thousands upon thousands of them resort to back room abortions. Abortion rates in other devout Catholic countries -- Ireland, France, Italy - are also exceptionally frequent. Induced abortion. which is the deliberate killing of human life in any man's lan- guage, may be wrong and evil but it is also a last resort for those who have made up their minds that they won't hear their children under any circumstances. To prevent a pregnancy (contraception) in my opinion is infinitely more preferable that removing a premature human baby from the womb because the pope banned the Pill. To Pope Paul and his Vatican hierarchy. sexual inter. course is synonymous with love in marriage and bearing children. To millions around the world, sex is love and relief of frustration. anxiety, boredom, hunger and many other problems, as well as to multiply. The Catholic Church made a monsterous mistake. 400 years ago when the Inquisition forced Galileo to renounce his belief that, the earth moved around the sun. A similar mistake was made in the month of July, 1968 when the pontiff spoke out against the us» of contraceptives and warned that use of mechanical and chemical aids will lead to world degreriatinn, One stood RC told me "I guess wp'll have to hre the pope and hire a new one."
