wl The roughest attack, aimed at the EMO, has been leveled by the Toronto dailies who feel the general public should be saved by this organization. They still give the impresâ€" gion the EMO is a fancy name for Civil Defense. This is not so. :« What is even more surprising is the fact hese papers knew long ago the statis of Canada‘s defenses. Six years ago, 16 yearâ€"old school boys were told, at the RCAF staâ€" tion on Avenue Road, Canada did not have the facilitiese to curb an attack, Were the dailies more naiye than these boys? We think not. The dailies are merely using che EMO as a scapeâ€"goat. The EMO was not designed by the federal government to save individuals, but were designated to train people how to save themselves. This is not survival of the fitness, but survival of those interested and prepared to survive. George Forrest, EMO Controller for our area, stated the EMO‘s job in training existâ€" ing organizations and associations how to carry out their usual duties during a natural disaster or attack. Because of EMO training, the police, fire department, public utilities, Red Cross and other organizations all have explicit instructions and plans to be carried out if Weston or Northern Etobicoke are under fire. It is an injustice to severely criticize the EMO for something they are not equipped to do. It is impossible to save every individual. But it is not impossible to preserve our civilized standards of law and order and this is exactly what the EMO was designed to do. * This complex training will also prevent another hurricane "Haze!" because the organâ€" izations can easily adapt their plans in case of a natural catastrophy.

You know it, and joke about it someâ€" times, though mostly you try not to think about it. On the whole, it is a pleasant time of life, free from many of the stresses and anxieties of earlier days. But age brings problems of its own: one of these problems is . . . what are you going to do about driving? Even some Conservatives see the loss of as many as 50 seats. The Liberals, natâ€" urally enough. see themâ€" selves winning 130 or more and taking over either as the Government or a minâ€" ority _ Government. â€" They consider their chances best in Quebec, Ontario, and Saskatchewan. The appeal of the New Democratic Party in the election is still obscure; that of the Social Credit even more so. But one thing is sure. Every party will be putting up a real fight. Let‘s _ consider _ fre basic realities. Firstly ception _ is . declining; In 1958, there is no doubt that many members were elected simply because they were Diefenbaker men. The feeling now is that thev‘re going to need more than that. This election stands to be fought more on an inâ€" dividual riding basis than on the appeal of a national leader. As a result the question the voters are being asked A Letter To The Senior Motorist k1 perâ€" just now. four is not â€" which party has the best answers? It is â€" which party has the brains and ability to administer the remedies that everyone agrees the Country needs? The political parties are expected to spend up to $16,000,000 on the camâ€" paign to answer that last question for voters. The Conservatives and Liberals will each spend $4,000,000 to $6,000,000; the NDP $2,â€" N00,000 to $3.000,000; and the Sorial Credit about $1,â€" 000 000. This takes no account of the $10,000,000 or so it will cost the electoral officer to run the election, nor of the expenditures of other parâ€" tiee â€" such as the comâ€" munist party â€" and indeâ€" pendent candidates. â€" Campaien organizers in Ottawa freely predict a "superlative" campaign â€" superlative in cost. in inâ€" tensity, in physical wear and tear, and perhaps in dirtiness. It promises to be an orâ€" deal for the leaders partiâ€" cularly. The ordinary voter can only hope and pray that whoever wins will be in good enough physical shape at the end to govern the Country. when conditions are bad. You are driving more slowly. Which is good â€" up to a point. But your driving habits are also changing in less desirable ways.. For inâ€" stance: * You don‘t yield the right of way enough. Is this because you are not sufficiently familiar with the rules of the road? Or could it be just plain stubbornness? â€" Both Mr. Diefenbaker. and Liberal leader Pearson expect to visit personally more than 200 of the 263 ridings. That‘s a phenomenâ€" al objective and must be some kind of record. * You are making too many improper turms. Turning from or into the wrong lane is your most frequent mistake, Have you forâ€" gniten the proper procedures? Mr. Diefenbsker is 66 vears old. Mr. Pearson has iust turned 65. And both have been flying around the Country for the past severâ€" al weeks in a kind of lowâ€" gear campaign. _ * You are disregarding many signais; the reason is probably poor vision, or inattentiveness.

NDP leader Tommy Douglas is 57, and like 48â€" vearâ€"old Robert Thompson of the Social Credit, has been travelling steadily since last summer.

The Prime Minister hinted that Mr. Pearson, when he was Canada‘s foreign secretary at the United Nations, never spoke out on behalf of the Communistâ€"dominâ€" ated people of Eastern Eurâ€" This remark infuriated Lucien Cardin, a Liberal from _ Richelieuâ€"Vercheres in Quebec, who dropped his normally suave manner to attack the Prime Minister in terms and tones rarely heard in the Commons. He said Mr. Diefenbaker did not have the dignity to be Prime Minister, did not deserve respect, and was addicted to the Naziâ€"type lie. The response was not Iong in coming. With a kind of snowball effect, Eldon Woolliams, a Conserâ€" vative from Alberta, and Harry White, a Conservaâ€" tive from Western Ontario, blasted off at Mr. Pearson. They suggested he was soft on communism. and Mr. White said Mr. Pearson got his Nobel Prize because he sided with the communists. die examinations â€" you must; know your limitations.

The communist smear technique has been muted since then, perhaps on orâ€" ders from Conservative party â€" headquarters. But there is no assurance it won‘t flare up in the camâ€" paign.

CAPITAL HILL CAPSULE Liberals would dearly love a Diefenbakerâ€"Pearâ€" son TV debate in the Kenâ€" nedyâ€"Nixon pattern, but the Tories are not likely to agree. Mr. Diefenbaker couldn‘t gain much from such a debate, and may lose a great deal. Mr. Pearâ€" son would have nothing to lose and everything to gain. PLAY 18 A FOUNDATION Yours sincerely, F. H. Ellis, General Manager, Ontario Safety League Baker‘s Batter Two weeks ago the Timesâ€"Advertiser received a letter to the editor from a, "So called hockey father," complaining about the operation of the Weston minor hockey league, wifibwh‘; th]l letter which appeared in the Letters to the editor column, the damn broke and we have received 18 letters in reply to this one letter, _ _ 0 Oe The purpose for mentioning this fact is two foldâ€"first to break thevunlucky 18 by adding my own comment to the situation, and to point out to sceptics just how closely scrutinized letters to the editor are in a weekly paper. To start with the very fact that 18 people felt compelled to write in defending the operation of the Weston minor hockey would indicate there is a great deal of interest in this league, we would therefore doubt there are any sheâ€" nanigins going on. There obviously would be too many people to buffalo for any preâ€"determination of the all star team, of instance. Most residents who wrote in reply to the original conâ€" temning letter praised the people who work long hours and hard on behalf of the youngsters who enjoy organized hockey activity in Weston. We too would like to add our thanks and appreciation to those stout fellows who rise bright and early on a Saturday morning and trudge down to the stadium to help the kids. Having done this for sevâ€" eral years in other towns you can take my word for it that merely "fixing" an all star selection would be little compenâ€" sation. We doubt therefor that the type of many who would even consider ‘"not playing the game," would ever show enough stamina to go through all the trouble and time conâ€" sumption necessary to operate a minor hockey league. So allocades to the men who operate Weston minor hockey, also a "good show," to those who were interested enough to write in, and a "take your boy to the arena," to the original letter writer. * â€" I Waffle and Islington Recently Reeve Ozzie Waffle of Etobicoke suggested the T.T.C. should institute a direct bus route up Islington Ave. He said this was a four lane road to Dixon Road and & good two lane right up into Thistletown. May we ask Mr. Waffle when you were last in Thistletown, and if you have been there you must have gone by airâ€" plane, right? Must be, because quite obviously you didn‘t drive up Islington. As any resident who travels this way daily can attest, to call the stretch of Islington immediately south of Albion, "good road," is like calling the grand canâ€" yon a small hole in the ground. We understand the road is in the process of being turned over to Metro. For this reason Etobicoke has been relucâ€" tant to spend any money on the road, and of course Metro roads can‘t do anything until the road officially becomes a Metro road.
