W. Gossard Ltd. To express an opinion and make a fair statement from the mformations received so far is rather difficult since a great deal of what has been said and written contains mostly bitter ness and accusations. However there are some ob- servations we have made which do not seem absolutely fair. If the Gossard Co. is willing to pay from a minimum of $1.67 to a maximum of $4.00 per hour in their U.S. plants, it 1s indeed hard to understand why their counterparts in the Port Perry plant are refused an increase trom $1.00 to $1.25 presumably for the same type of work. If this is the main cause of the strike, it seems to us, that at the present day high cost of "living this is not an unfair re- - quest on part of the striking employees. It would be reason- able to think, that a settlement of this strike would be of much more benefit to the Company than all the unfavourable pub- licity created. And further- more the increase asked for will not be of such a staggering amount for the employer. There is another incident that also bother us, and this concerns the Union, and the alleged inci- dents supposed to have happen- ed to the workers crossing the picket lines. Again we have no way of telling whether these allegations are facts or just plain rumours, and it may even be, that the incidents were no responsibility of the Union at all. However, if it did happen it is certainly of no credit to the Union members who took part in it, such as bumping a girl to the ground, smearing a house with black paint, ete. PRT SO "MES, GE ek 'a IYor the benefit of emplover, employee and this town as a whole we certainly would like to see a real effort be made to settle this strike. The present situation creates only continu- ed bitterness and hard feelings among the parties concerned. Local Firemen Show Fine Spirit The Muscular Dystrophy As- sociation of Canada, which has been operating an extensive medical research program to find a cure for muscular dystro- phy, will be making its annual drive for funds during the period of November 1 - 15. Playing a leading role in this campaign will be crews from more than 500 fire departments across the country, canvassing. on behalf of the many young- sters whose lives are threatened by an incurable deterioration of the voluntary muscles. In Port Perry the local fire fighters have "laced plastic canmnisters in stores and offices Srna town doing their share to help the many unfor- tunate children in this country. A unique relationship has existed since 1954 between Can- ada's fire fighters and The Mus- cular Dystrophy Association. The fire fighters have adopted MDAC as their favourite char- ity and have raised half of the $5,000,000.00 that MDAC has generated for research pur- poses over the past fifteen years. Of the $600,000.00 target that MDAC has set for 1967, it is estimated that more than half the amount will be raised by fire fighters canvassing on be- half of the young vietims of muscular dystrophy. SOME OF US REMEMBER What will the Flower Children do on Remembrance Day? Will they refuse to --buy a popy because they associate it with past wars? Or will they buy every poppy they can get their hands on and try to in- fuse a brew of opium, so that they can turn on? All I know is that they'll have a tough time getting any popy-juice out of those paper poppies the Legion sells. My daughter and | have a running battle about the Flower Children and hippies in general. She has a slogan. "Love is all you need," which | find scrawled on things ail over the house. My contention is that these kids don't love @nybody but themselves, that they heartily hate anyone who doesn't subscribe to their half-baked philosophy, if you "want to grate it with such a term, and" that most of them don't know enough about mean much to the average kid today. It's not nearly as important as the latest "soul" record. And it's a mild bore, a solemn = moment at school, that has no connection with the Saturday night date, or the really important things of life. ~ It's just one of those silly things that middle-aged people get "all hung up" about, like hard work and honesty and chastity and all those other drags. T And it's not just the kids who ignore it. Most young adults sneer at it as a relic of "Britannia Rules the Waves" and "Over the Top" and beery old veterans. It's much more fashionable to join a "protest group" and march on something or other. @ity Hall. The American Cont sulate. It doesn't matter. Break some windows. Splash some paint.

I am immediately relegated to that rapidly-in- creasing segment of the population that doesn't understand anything, is against everything and can't communicate. Even though she does admit they are pretty snobbish about their "love" deal. I asked her why she didn't have a whack at the Legion contest. It's open to all stu- dents, and they can write an essay or a poem, about the meaning of Remembrance Day. Ggod cash prizes, and she writes well. "But it doesn't have any meaning for me, Dad. I didn't have an uncle or anything killed in the war." Well, what do you do? 1 apologized for the fact that both her war- time uncles are alive, and that I couldn't get myself killed, even with the utmost application of incompetence, just so that she could really enjoy Remembrance Day. Eighteen seconds later, she's beefing be cause I haven't given her a driving lesson in a whole week, and she's just got to get her license before the snow flies.
