It is high time police ~fficers‘ duties were made clear vo them. The main one being to treat citizens with respect and refrain from calling them "Chief", "Mac" or "Hey you", a practice that surprises some English immigrants, who are accusâ€" tomed to being called "Sir" by the police they left back home. Politeness demands respect and there is very little that we know of for the Metro force. the car owner is unable to replace the seats, can cause a fair amount of inconvenience and possibly cost money. If the police do not find contraband they should be decent enough to replace the seats. ‘\ _ When the spot checks were initiated during the Christmas heavy drinking seaâ€" son, this newspaper upheld them, despite an unusual amount of criticism,. We felt at that time and still feel, these checks, if carried out correctly, perform, can perform a useful function. However police methods have deteriorated to a point where we can no longer condone them. During the spot check we witnessed, no Cadillacs or Lincolns were stopped though a goodly number of these passed. We are also to assume then that all highâ€"priced cars are in good condition, carry no contraâ€" band and are being driven by the rightful owners. __ Police work requires a certain amount of benevolence under some conditions, for after all there are some people in this world who aren‘t criminals. It is impossible under these conditions to feel that the checks are being carried out impartially. This being the case, they should be withdrawn completely. A big, expensive, car being driven by a drinking driver is just as likely to cause a traffic death as a 1951 vintage car in prime condition.

The Ontario Municipal Board is not so worried about the financial condition of Etobicoke as it is two other large Metro suburban townships.

In the 20 months since, Soâ€" cial Credit strength has been declining at the provincial level, and the Conservatives are in some trouble Federally. The spoils on June 18 may go to the Liberals and the New Democratic Party, successor to the CCF. Today the Conservatives in this province appear the weakâ€" est of the four parties as camâ€" paigning begins. ‘The NDP may well be the strongest.

Social Credit offers the greatest paradox. Aithough it has formed the Government at Victoria since 1952, it has nevâ€" er scored a major Federal win, and seems to be having more difficulty rounding up candidates this time than any of the others. Whatever the outcome, B.C. may have one big ace up its sleeve for the rest of the counâ€" If the results from the east â€" where most of the vote is registered ~â€" are close, this For at least six candidates in B.C., the election is pretty well decided already. All sides concede the likelihood of Exâ€" ternal Affairs Minister Howâ€" ard Green and Justice Minisâ€" ter Davie Fulton winning again for the Conservatives.

Thisleads to the suspicion that Socred strategists may resign themseives to the role of a strong Provincial party â€" like the former Union Naâ€" tionale regime in Quebec â€" and leave the Federal field to the others. And Social Credit, though it failed to win a single Federal seat in 1958, cannot bewritten off. Three former Socred M.P.‘s are in the lists for June 18, and the party is looking to Premier W.A.C. Bennett for solid support as the campaign gathers speed. The remaining 16 Federal constituencies are prime fightâ€" ing ground for all parties. Although the Conservatives aren‘t prepared to give ground anywhere, there is considerâ€" able doubt that they will be able to hold many, if any, of the ridings that swung to them in the Diefenbaker deluge. The Liberals claim the best chance in at least seven ridâ€" ings, and say the margin could widen considerably in the event of a trend setting in across the country. And the NDP taiks contiâ€" dently of taking 10 to 14 seats, with Conservatives reduced to two â€" Messrs, Green and Fulâ€" ton â€" and the Socreds shut out as they were in 1958. growing support at the constiâ€" tuency level, both provincially and Federally.

LONE DRINKER DEFINITION â€" Dear Clifford: I quite agree with "Loner" when he says there would be fewer drunks in beer parlors if more wives would allow their husbands to drink at home, instead of refusing to let them. But I disagree with "Loner" when he refers to himself as a lone drinker because he drinks at home while his wife never drinks. That type of drinking isn‘t the lone drinkâ€" ing that leads to alcoholism. Even if his wife doesn‘t join him in a drink, he is drinking in a social way in her comâ€" pany and is therefore not a lone drinker. By noon next day I was going around ulkinx to myâ€" self and playing games like balancing things. Anything to kill time. I shouted and waved at a plane which must have been miles away.
