THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE OAT, akon ao | Weekly: Newspapers {ia fi : | : T x , EE i " ! b - ; HURSDAY, MARCH 25th, 1954 h Member of Digesting the Present b ; 0 : A recent article on education in the Time Magazine points out the shocking conditions that are accepted as normal in many of the schools in the United States. Gangsterism, pornography, hooliganism, and other barbaric isms appear to be the order of the day. Newspaper articles feature statistics which would seem to in- dicate that Juvenile delinquency in the United States has risen some t irty per cent. In the March issue of the Atlantic Monthly Agnes Meyer, a most reputable writer, has an essay entitled Schoolboy Racketeers. All this publicity about the new generation is most disturbing to thinking people.

The diet is an un- healthy one for adults what must it do for our children. ~~ : - To give an example; in television one of the programmes most popular with the young generation is the wrestling match. Kids are just fascinated by what they see; and they practise this simulated mayhem on each other.

In a re- port prepared by the Cotinty Clerk, William Manning, it is shown that a total of 1,184 foxes were killed in the county during the year. Bountles totalling $3,402 were paid to the hun- ters, Seki fis In_ Ontario County, as in many counties of the province a bounty of $3 each is paid to fox hunters when they present their trophy to the muni- cipal clerk. This bounty applies all year round but in some of the more = "thickly populated areas, fox hunting is prohibited during certain months. of the year. nit i: The greatest number of foxes were os killed in Reach Township, with Bidck ownship, imme®iately north of Reach Wrunning a close second. The least - number were_killed in the town of Whitby, as would be expected. iy SHIVERS IN SHEET IN MORNING FROST, BEDMATE ANNOYED HIM 3 Ha LINDSAY--The night watchman at Fee Motors was startled at 4.80 Tues- day morning when he answered a banging at the side door. Instead of the expected motorist out of gas he was tonfronted with a man who was enveloped in a: white bed sheet, hat- less, coatless and shivering in hia stocking: feet. 'He was a resident of Leagkdale and he was shivering like an aspen leaf and.as cold as an Icicle. He was speechless from cold. When Constable Bailey arrived Hill stated that he and a friend were spen- ding the night with a friend on Cam- bridge Street south, He had hecome so annoyed at his bed fellow that he "took up his bed and walked." Police later secured his clothes and he returned the bed sheet. MARKHAM EMPLOYEES TO GET PENSIONS At a special meeting of Markham Twp. council on' Wednesday of last .week, a pension plan was adopted which will cover all employees with the exception of those employed on an hourly basis. The plan, obtained through the Canadian Government Annuities Branch is the same system that is used by the Township of Vau- ghan. Each employee will contribute 6% of his salary and the township will contribute an equal amount. The municipality will also raise $1,064 per year for ten years for back years of service, 30-MILLION DOLLAR COTTAGE PROJECT . Toronto--A Toronto real estate firm has announced a 30 million dollar pro- ject to construct 10 thousand cottages in the Haliburton District. Ridout Real Estate plan to turn a hundred square miles of property on 50 lakes into a natural park with re- striction on commercial activity and conservation of wild life in the area. The cottages to be built on the Lakes Kenisis, Redstone, MacDonald, Eyre, Clear, Kelly, Johnston, and others are independent of some eight hundred others on Haliburton Lake to be fin- ished this summer.

Due to the numerous errors in the compiling of the voters' lists and the complacency shown by voters in fail- ing to have errors corrected on the list which has been posted since last November, many otherwise eligible voters were unablé to exercise their franchise. SHOOTS WOLF _IN PICKERING TOWNSHIP A brush wolf has been shot almost within the boundaries of the newly- formed Metropolitan District. Gene McGreevy, R.R. 3 Pickering reports that he has killed a wolf in a field just west of the village of Dunbarton in Pickering Township. It" is exceptionally unusual, says County Clerk William Manning for a wolf to be killed in this part of the County. During the whole of 1958, he said, only four wolves were shot or trapped in the whole Ontario Cotn- ty, nearly all from the two most nor- therly townships, Rama and Mara, far removed from Pickering Township, long considered beside Whitby Town- | ship to be in the "banana belt" of Ontario County. It "is not known when the last wolf was shot in Pick- ering but it appears that it was some years ago. : OBSTETRICAL WARD TO OPEN IN NEW HOSPITAL !

A mew Legion Hal), one of the largest and finest in the area, is being completed at Woodville and an- other one is unler way at Coboconk. A splendid new hall was recently op- ened at Haliburton and a new hall, not yet completed, was unofficially opened at- Bobeaygeon a few nights ago. The Legion at Omemee some time ago purchased the old hotel on the main street and gradually it is being renovated and converted into a large Legion Hall. At Beaverton, Cannington, Sunderland and other places, Legion units are well operated and Legionnaires are doing good work. In the sphere of politics the Legion is neutral, but has had a well consti- tuted permanent committeedit. Ottawa looking after Legion matters, particu- larly regarding veterans affairs. With a potential ryembership of two million, the Legion is an organization to be recognized and it is good to realize that as an organization the Legion Is looking after the needs-of veterans of the first world war, as well as world war two.

Recently some: smart racketeers have been covering Ontario, rapping at the doors of elder citizens and re- presenting themselves to be bank of- ficials and income tax officers. By a clever subterfuge they obtain the bank book and also the signature of its owner for special "filing in the bank." The income tax--officer, so- called, says he must see the bank book to-report-the balance -to 'the depart- ment at Ottawa. ALR The gullible who have signed at the request of the racketeers actually signed a blank cheque without know- ing it. Some have lost 'hard-earned and hard-saved money. 1 People calling and asking for a sig- nature should bé referred to the police Persons not used to legal processes and forms will spare themselves trouble by refusing to sign ahything 'inless advised .by one well qualified to advise them. ° : --8touftville Tribune Epsom psor Late for Last Week) _ Recent visitors at Mr. and Mrs. 'W, Rogers' were Mr, and Mrs. Mel.
