92nd YearNo l6 insurance Rates Rising Car Insurance rates are almost surely going up In the near futurebased on studies by underwriters Here again its case of the few offending drivers spoilIng things for the many The reason is simple More people are having more accidents and more costly The drivingrecord in Canada has deteriorated In the past year despite safety campaigns The only key to lower Insurance rates is safer driving Lets get those who dont off the roads Hasty Development At the Municipal Industrial Development Conference in Toronto commissioners were told that added attention must be given to the conservation of Canadian water re sources In Ontario particularly lack of attention had brought pollution of some water sources to the point of calamity Traffic congestion in urban areas is taking too many productive hours from Canadian economy Further it is so important that fine agricultural land remain devoted to that use that Ontario is considering measures to limit housing growth on og ricultural land Each of these warnings should be well considered by local municipalplanners In theirhasty fostering of economic develop ment Union Refuses Elmvale Use Of Army Band in Parade It must have come as somewhat of shock to patrons of Flos Agricultural Soci ety all taxpayers in Canada that mus icians union some 80 miles away in Toronto had the power to keep Camp Borden army band from playing in the school chil drens parade to open Elmvale Fair not long ago But such happened and some 700 children from Flos and Tiny townships andthe vil lage of Elmvale had to march through the streets to the fair grounds without any musicwhatever The bandwas there ready and willing to play but wire from Toronto at theHost vminuteaefusodponnlsslonwdu would seem that the only people who should have authority in such matter would be the Départment of National Defence request was made by Elmvale Fair Board for thlsband to lead the childrens parade to the proper authorities at Camp Borden and permission was granted without any delay all throughthe chain of command But and this must surprise people again it was stated that clearance must be ob tained from the musicians union at To ronto we understand that some IO days before the fair request was sent to the office of the Toronto union wire came back on the morning of the fair opening to the effect that since there was Insufficient timeto get committee together to consider the mat ter permission could not be granted Nowwe haveevery sympathy for the pro fessional musician who must spend long hours and many years in study andpractice and pay for an expensive instrument He has every right to protection when he must make his living from his performances It would not be fair to subiect him to competi tion for pay rfrornrmusical organizations which are maintained by public funds For example let us take the ONE which has financial resources to pay for its musical requirements To bring in half dozen service bands and replacethe same number of professional units would not be right Andthere are always those who will play for less than scale pay toget the job Naturally the musician must protect himlt self if he is to eat let alone live in decent standard However this matter at Elmvale is some thing else again It is relatively small fair and has nowhere near the resources re quired to bring in professional band from Toronto In fact It would be hard strained if at all to hire nonvunion band from one of the small towns of this county No musicianwas being deprived of any pay work at Elmvale Fair parade is hardly aparade without music The only ones deprived were school children Punished Wreifl airhewusan mimosa WALLS lresldent kannarof elm Nawlnlnorl of on Average Not Paid ABC Circulation Six Months End

role of the newspaper in connection with strike is difficult one to define Immediately slrike occurs both labor and man agcmcnt on many occasions assume that the role of the newspaper is Ihat of bulletin board through which to express theiropinions The newspaper attempts to perform this role sometimes at the sacrifice of the real news con tent of the strike But it only has so much space oftlimes management and labor purebasc space in the advertising columns to express their views in paid insertions of messages tofhc public This is perhaps the best way of making certain that lhc message gels across in lhc exact form desired Leftch to the editor are another means used by labor and management to get their point across and quife often to rap each other across the knuckles The newspapers chief desire is the termination of the strike of course to the satisfction of both parties However when it attempts to advise medlt late or comment ifs motive is often mlsconslrued If it favors management in one opln labor is downits neck If it underlines point in favor of labor management is offended Which is possibly why the newspiipcr stay away from strike editorials except lo express hope that the strike will end as soon as possible The wel fare of the community at large must evcr remain the chief concern of the newspaper Not 80 Strange Decision Newmarket Era and Express
