V ms- TIMES Anvmnsm Religious groups have the freedom to speak in Metro Parks, so it should be extended to poets, pacifists, and heck- lers. If these groups can find enough people who want to sit in the parks and listen to rhymes, let them have the laws changed through using their oratory to persuade city council to change bylaws. The Police do not make the laws and, as for the Toronto force, they do a good job of enforcing the laws made by the people. This is all they have time for. . . . enforcement, not legislating. If the poets, the bomb banners and their supporters want to speak in the parks such as Allen Gardens. let them have the City change the bylaw prohib- iting public speaking. Why do they have to practice civil disobedience and wear their fines and summonses like medals? _ When the poets and the bomb bars ners grow up enough to use the legal and quiet steps to getting their way. the council might open the parks. to their speeches and verses.

There is no regular bus route taking passengers from Rexdale and Thistle- town to the southern parts of the town- ship. nor from Weston to the Lakeshore unless the rider feels like spending a quarter of his day on buses and street- ears, hopping from one to another to wend his way south. Unless you own a ear, or in some cas- es, two cars. if you live in Rexdale or Thistletown you are effectively cut off from the rest of Etobicoke. But the TTC is also a public service istitution providing important facilities for all residents of Metropolitan Toron- to. Transportation is one of the corner stones of tt civilized system, and all persons must be included in the trans- portation system of a city the size of Toronto. The TTC is not living up to its res- ponsibilities in the North Western end of Metro. _ "Three hundred and sixteen Bulimllm. one hundred and eighty Stalin Roads. thmy- Amr Stalin In" and one goat path called Avenue Joseph - cigm 1-va from In of The Toronto Transit Commission must make money to survive.

There is no bravery in Allen Gard- ens, only petty mockery of the laws of the land, made and followed by the majority of the people. We are not a dictatorship and there is little use for 'heroes' like Castro, Hit- ler, Napoleon or Cromwell. We need heroes of medicine. of science, of the atom. of law. We need nrators like Churchill. not talkers who clutter the parks with their sit downs and disobed- ienee. Comments like these makes it seem the poets are fighting a war and like MacArthur in the Phillipines they will return to conquer their eneimies, the Police. _ We wonder when the TTC, like so many other so called services of Metro, are going to supplv the facilities given to other parts of Toronto. to Northwee~ tern Metro? Must we wait until Thrs dale and Thistletown are teeming with thousands of people before we receive the benefits other areas of the city are getting? In a publication called the 'Coffee House News', published in an mimic- graph machine by one of the leaders of the ban-the-bomb movement in Canada, there is a line following the report of the latest group of poets tossed out of Allen Gardens.

Market the West Annex In the past Canadian Government spokesmen have been as willing as anyone else to claim that Britain must choose be- tween the Common- wealth and Europe. that 50 per cent, or 75 per cent, or 90 per cent of trade would suffer if Bri- tain joins the Common Market. The British negotia- tions with the Six Com.. mon Market countries have already produced wide areas of agreement. Those negotiations have been halted now until 0 c t o h e r, apparently stuck on the key issue of what safeguards the The problem is that food exports, such as wheat. from these three countries now get prefer, ontial rreatment in the British market, If Britsh union with Europe is needed so cat- aclysmic, why are the Canadian people not be- ing told what their Gov- ernment ii doing to pro- ttset their interests? Common Market would provide for food exports from Australia, Canada and New Zealand. The result is that the Canadian people do not know what attitude and what position their Gov- ernment will take in Lon- don when the common- wealth Prime Minister's conference discusses the British entrv into the Common market. There has been no lack of spokesmen in many countries who are anx- ious tn point out the over- riding importance of Bri- tain's move towards Eur- ope. If Britain joins the Common Markat. theus preferences would even- tually he lost. Britain will have to adopt the com- mon external tariff of the common market coun- tries. and to adopt as well tt common market prie- ine policy whieh will tttss or internally produced agriculture goods against all imports. The Canadian Govern- ment is watching Brit- ain's move towards the European Market in sil- ence and with every ap- pearance of helplessness. Since Messrs. Fleming and Hees made their thunderous deelamations at the commonwealth ec- onmic conference in Ac- cra last fall, the Canad- ian Government has ten- ded to keep its objections to itself. This unaccustomed si, lence has been even more noticeable since the June 18 election thrust a min- o r i t y Government on Prime Minister Diefen- baker. pm WA REPORT Common Market Silence Is tddn SUMMER FUN BEFORE BACK TO SCHOOL He apparently does not intend tn can the new parliament together he- fore he Ipaws for London tn roprosnn!

In the meantime. the breakdown may strength- en Britain's hand in deal- ing with commonwealth countries. many of which are not satisfied that Bri- tain has been doing ev- erything possible to safe- guard essential common- wealth interests. When the Prime Min. isters meet in London on September lo, Britain will not be able to pre- sent a detailed outline of the terms for entry.

This break- down in talks will delay but not necessarily doom Britain's chances of join- ing the Common Market. In its negotiations, Bri- tain is attempting to gain concessions for Common- wealth food imports dur.. ing a transitional period before the preferential system is abandoned. Following this, there is an attempt to get special arrangements for com- monwealth foodstuffs if world trad i n g agree- ments are not reached by a certain date. c: .771}: i,irti' Cdiii' 'ci-tiii? _ If N‘. //1 If British uhion with Europe is so important to Canada, if it spells harm or danger. if action must he taken to offset those dangers. then the Prime Minister will be in a much stronger nosition at home if he tells Canad- ians what he will do, and why.

CAPITAL HILL CAPSULE The 100 Liberals elect- ed to Parliament will hold a series of caucus meetings in Ottawa late in August to plan their strategy for the new ses- sion expected in Septem- her.

What's wrong with the CBC and for that matter. CTV television“? They seem to he having trouble meeting their requirement of Canadian content on the network shows, yet they are sitting in the most fertile land of entertainment poten- tial in North America. There is Archie Alleyne. Canada's top drummer. playing in the CBC studio orchestra and coffee hous- es; Wray Downes, Canada's finest jazz pianist pest to Oscar Peterson, working in coffee houses and scra- ping for money. There is Dave Higgins, young. versatile, popular singer. who has been waiting weeks or months for a chance at a CBC show minor part. There are many other bands, actors singers. dams ers. musicians and writers every bit as good as any in the States. They are all in Toronto. Montreal. Van- comer. etc. They are all in front of the public every week. Is the CBC blind? The merchants who take up parking spaces that can he used for customers are taking money out of their own pockets. They could just as well leave their cars at home or park in some inconspicuous spot as take up room in the town's largest lots. These merchants and people who work at the var.. ious stores in town probably feel they have a right to park where they like, which they do. But remember if you tie up a spot all day, you may be losing dollars. Don't get the idea I am knocking Protestants. since I began my church going as an Anglican, but the Pro- testant Religion is not followed by everyone. There are obviously too many religions in Canada, with Catholics, Jewish persona, Protestants, Modems. Budhists. Mennonites, Quakers, ete. for a period to be allowed for the teaching of every facet of each of these groups. And only in this way would religious ed.. ucation be fair. If we can't allow all these groups "equal time" to get their point across, we shouldn't allow any one group to hog the half hour of school which makes a definite impression on the minds of young children of every faith, In a brief synopsis of talent in Toronto that could be used on Canadian T. V. we find; Joey Hollings- worth, singer, dancer, drummer and one of Canada's finest showmen, who spent last month playing to list- less crowds in a burlesque house. We find Don Franks whom the CBC uses as actor, singer, writer and sat- irist but not to anywhere near his full potential. There is Dave Broadfont, satirist, new actor, and comedian. in league with Shelley Berman and Mort Sahl, who writes occasionally for the CBC. A WORD ABOUT WESTON. . .I don't know what it is about people who can't see past their noses, but it seems to he predominant in every town, that the people who do most to hurt business are the people who stand to gain the most from good business. When I was in public school, it had special classes in religious education, which, for the first year or two I attended. Maybe it is different in other schools un- der other teachers, but we were subjected to I. half, hour talk from a Grade 3 teacher about how wonder.. ful the Protestant Religion was. Later, the class was taken over by a minister, from, guess where, the Protestant Church. The producers are not making use of the talent Tor- onto has, and seems to prefer to wait until these Tor.. onto entertainers strike it rich in the U.S. before con- descending to place them in Canadian shows. The Canadian entertainment promoters have so far failed to use the full potential of star material such as Raymond Burr, Bob Goulet, Wayne and Shuster, Lorne Green, and many other Canadians who have 'made if in the States. Are we to be outdone by Yank- ee moneymen? religious studies in a separate period in the school cur- riculum. When School starts again in September I wonder how long it will take to get back into the same old arguments about religious education in our public schools. would like to add my bit against the teaching of Crossword hut-m0. by R.
