y jfftt fto 1itoriaj page demand philosophy its the age of the demand philos- 9phy no one ever asks for anything any- more they demand it labor and monl agement dont have requests hy haw demands perhaps the old fashioned politeness and respect we thought were standard equipment to earlier genera- tions are just rp in any longer i more and snore we talk about our rights and our freedoms that lead to demands delegates and petitioners de mand satisfaction farmers demand higher subsidies and all of this demand ing is bound to have an effect onthe generationweresupposedtobe raising perhaps parents are misleading their children when they stress the importance of the please and thank you perhaps irv understanding canada in a country as big as canada it is sometimes hard to understand the things that are happening a couple of hundred or a couple of thousand miles away through modern communications we may know whats happening but we dont always understand the british columbian doesnt give a hoot about the st lawrence seaway and the aaanitoban cant get enthusiastic about salmon fish ing prince edward island isnt worried about potash nor saskatchewan about causeways better understanding comes about when people from various parts of the country get together and this is one of the reasons why we look forward each year to the annual convention of the canadian mrekly newspapers associa tion this week in saint john new bruns- a world accustomed to demands they will be illequipped to cope with the moresevere demands they will be faced with its the demand philosophy too that leads to a growing amount of violence in our opinion negroes riot when they find their demands rejected whites become vindicitive when they find their demands have gone unanswered strik ers become unryly when incited after re jection of demands farmers storm the legislative buildings when their de mand for an audience with provincial officials is fanned by clever speakers no segment of society is immune the demandhllosophvrnslreadywell established and it is an unworthy con tribution for this generation to make to the heritage we are producing wick we are representing this newspap er at the cwna convention and like most conventioners we will spend some of our time in business sessions and some in social activities well be talking about our town as others will and when we get back we may be a little more know ledgeable about potash salmon fishing causeways seaways or whatever after meeting other weekly editors from across canada it is this same kind of exchange that has been promoted by the centennial commission among students in an effort to familiarize more people with the broad complexion of a varied and intensely interesting country hopefully too what we learn in our exchange will help us to produce a better newspaper for you and contribute as well to the elusive goal better un derstanding of canadians by canadians xharoctet is the mortar for my part i see nothing oldfash ioned about such virtues as honesty and truthfulness a keen sense of public duty and an obligation to do the right thing simply because it is the right thing to do these are the words of president donald gordon of canadian national railways in an address to students moreover he continued i believe that the importance of integrity and good faith in the business world cannot be overstated it would confound many a cynic to know how often our hardhead ed bankers look upon the integrity of management as the best and surest of all collateral in my own experience i have long since learned that in searching for execu tive talent the truly essential requirement is not intelligence nor education nor ex perience but good character the other attributes are found separately in rela tive abundance character is the mortar which binds them together into the whole man cost or investment ontario municipalities are backed to the wall in their efforts to provide funds for the continually spiralling cost of pub lic education it has reached the point says grant l duff president of the urban de velopment institute where nearly every municipality in the province finds it is now at the full limit of supporting pub lic school costs through taxes raised from property assessment cost of education today said mr duff represents the largest single ex penditure made by any ontario munici pality and it is these costs which force municipalities to place restrictions on the development of housing that can be af forded and is required by families with growing children this is because this type of accommodation does not produce sufficient taxes to cover education needs erated by a development of this na ture if these families are to be adequate ly housed municipalities must find other sources of financing education costs which continue to grow statistics prepared by the department of municipal affairs show that in 1954 all ontario municipalities raised a total of 139841 000 to cover education costs this represented a tax payment of s2790 for every man woman and child in the province and equalled 416 per cent of total taxation ten years later in 1964 education costs had more than doubled said mr duff by then taxes levied to cover edu cation costs were 364419000 or 5746 per person and represented 453 per cent of total taxation it is obvious from these increases in cosfs mr duff states that the time has arrived when alternate methods of financing education must be found the urban development institute states mr duff is keenly aware of and sympathetic towards the dilemna faced by municipalities today regarding edu cation costs the institute favors having the full cost of education ultimately as sumed by the provincial government relieving local governing bodies from the inordinate burden they and particularly the taxpayer now carry although disappointed that no direct assistance forpublic and secondary edu cation was earmarked from new reven ues genevated by the two per cent in crease in the provincial sales tax mr duff believes there is still some hope for relief to the municipalities soon we are awaiting the report which will be presented to the legislature later this year on the findings of the ontario tax committee it may provide in part th answ so desperately needed to cope with the needs of financing public education today he stated should this not be done the hous ing crisis will not only continue but worsen municipalities anxious to seek ways to contain the cost of education are reluctant to permit construction of new residential areas of the type that will appeal to and which can be af forded by young married couples with growing families this inevitably raises the cost of housing that will be permit ted by municipalities while not really providing the type of accommodation re quired by the majority of families want ing tor buy homes at worst concluded mr duff deteri oration of high education standards may take place by imposing too heavy a load on existing facilities and teaching staffs framed by a tree fairy lake in acton is seen beneath a cloudy summer sky photo by kioht
