The trouble is that the taxpayer | "hears that argument mentioned too often. Someone else .comes along in advocating an expenditure and says it just means a 'bottle of pop less a year. And so it goes on. A lat of little things can add up to big things. in the end. When already overburdened one more straw can _ break the camel's back -- Stouffville Tribune, CO-OPERATION OR BLAME? ... ONE of the_most difficult tasks facing editorial writers in this coun- try today is who should 'be. blamed] for increased unemployment. Some blame high wages and low producti- vity of labor. Others claim manu- -- facturers-and retailers are grabbing too big a profit. While still others, in traditional fashion, lay the aceus- ing 2inger at the doorsteps of various governments because of high taxes. 1t.all depends which paper you read. Not being an economist ,a union member or a big industrialist, we find ourselves in the middle of the argument, wholly unqualified to an- ulyze the situation, but with:the: opin- fon that all of us must bear some responsibility. Most people will agree 'that find- ing a cure is 'more important : than spending our time blaming someone or some group for the present situa- tion. At the moment, nobody is will- ing to accept .or confess any guilt. Each of wus is trying too hard to make somebody 'else' the goat, to shave a complete plan:to cure the illness, in- stead of thinking how much we our- selves are involved, -- -- -- There: is only one answer to the oblem: that we can see. The brains seach group 'will 'have to sit:down together, not .to:negotiate thelr own case, but ready to make sacrifices for the overall good. Frankly, we doubt it :the situation is sufficiently acute atithe moment for this kindiof meet- ing and we hope it will have improved by.: spring: fo «the point where the gloomy folks find their Foteimiam dispelled. But, we should -be plan- ning now.ifor ithe day when such a meeting may be. necessary. There are many answers which will come out at that time. If we are to besdependent on export markets, our * products have to be priced to meet world competition. This applies to manufactured and farm products, To dos this, and maintain our prbsent * standard of living, our unit costs have tosbe as low or lower than those bi» slip we.are competing. Our profits have to be in line with those of competitors, So, either our pro- ductivity must be raised, our wages, * profita:and taxes lowered or our sell |T® ing price will not be low enough to J tent, tough problem to solve, but it can be done if we are all willing to co-oper- ate instead of blaming the other fel- low. i . --Canadian | Statesman, District Doings ; TAKE COW FROM RIVER LINDSAY--A 'cow has frequently been the cause of a great deal of trouble to civic authorities. It was a cow which touched off the great Chicago fire by. kicking over a lantern and firemen trouble here Monday. This particulal cow was one of 8 which drowned in the Scugog River this: winter but, unlike its:two mates, it. was not recovered from the water -|until Monday, some two miles down river from where it went in. Reason for its delayed removal from the wa- ter is attributed by authorities -to-the fact that it slid under the ice before| it could be pulled ashore. Apparently the animals were walking along the river ice when it gave away carrying theni to" their deaths, PICKERING REDUCES GENERAL MILL RATE BY L8 MILLS The General Mill Rate for Picker- ing Township has been cut 1.8 mills over the 1963 figure, Such a reduc- tion_is due mainly to a Provincial Govt. grant of $1.85 per capita, The] general :mill irate this: year totalled 21.3 'as compared with=28.1 in 1968.

"This research conducted by Dr. Rit. i chie and 'assistants at Lake Seugog Lin'the summer of 1968 was being made for -Ontario Research' Foundation at ithe Banting Laboratories where Dr. John 'Hamtilton is working with a grant from National Cancer Institute. 'There were 22 muskies in the labora- itory from 23 to 36 inches being stu- idied to see if the disease will spread ifrom the infected to the healthy group In the spring, Dr. Hamilton plans to try a virus and: bacteriological study to see' if the disease gets its start through infection. "This information was revealed at Kingston on Friday at the eighth te- | chnical session of the Research Coun- cil of Ontario's Advisory committee on fisheries and wildlife. No Cause for Alarm - Biologist Charles Weir, department of lands and forests, Lindsay, thinks | Kawartha fishermen should not be unduly alarmed because by his obser- vations over the past b years, the in- | fection in muskies is not increasing. He stresses that muskies, or it might have been any other type of infected game fish are: being studied by the foundation to further research .in the control of the disease in man."

Mr. Weir said that he felt it was as well for the people to be placed in possession of all the facts concerning the fish afflicted with-the malignant growth which was formerly referred to as 'round sarcoma. He explained that .there is, still much speculation concerning the disease as to whether it was communicable, hereditary and "so on, Only one thing has been ten- tatively established by authorities and that isthe disease seems to be more prevalent among fish in shallower, warmer lakes than in deeper, colder lakes. The biologist also said he was of the ~opinion that some 'fish recover from the disease because muskies have been caught with scars on their bodies 'which looked as though: they had recovered from the malignancy. Mr. Weir recalled having.seen one fish 'with 18 sores on its body but other- wise apparently in normal health. It weighed right for its age and battled figreely when hooked, he declared. $1,000 EXPECTED. TO BE TOWN'S SIDEWALK SHARE * The town of Lindsay expects to be ealled. on:to pay about $1.000 towards the cost of providing a sidewalk across the new Lindsay Street bridge. Total cost was estimated at $6,000 by Town Engineer Wilson this week. He also informed: Town Council that County Engineer-Wilford expected that side- walk would be eligible for an 80 per cent provincial subsidy. FAIRVIEW LODGE LEVY DR TWO MILES ~ week's imegting of County Council, a levy of 2.mills was authorized for Fairview Lodge. In 1853, the levy was 2.2 mills." However, this does not mean that the Lodge will be operated on less money than last year. The reduced levy is made possible through an increase, in the equalized assesa- ment of 'the county. - Estimates for the operation and maintenance of Fairview Lodge for 1964 revealed that it was expected to cost $217,166 this year. This repre-- '|sents an increase from last year's actual expenditure of = $208,281.27. Combined with the account for Fair- view Lodge, is the account for the County Farm. The revenue from the darm is used to offset the costs. of operating Fairview Lodge. ~ Reach Teachers Meet AREA TEACHERS MRET AT PRINCE ALBERT 'The | teachers of Reach Township School Area met in Prince Albert School, Thursday afternoon, March 4, with the vice president, Mrs, Wilbur thy Playter-was-chosen as a delegate ito ithe O.E.A.-° Mrs. Hastings, Mrs. Hodgins and Miss Playter were re- quested to act as a committee to make Larrangements for a banquet.
