p 2 the stoufryui ttlluw thmy orfow 18 w62 editorial safety program moves ahead an army of cyclists estimated at more than 20o strong invaded the confines of the stouffville memorial park on saturday morning in re sponse to the recently organized student safety program members of the local police de partment public school staff lions club members and interested citizens were ready and waiting for the in flux of pupil personnel and a complete agenda was concluded with clock work precision we feel thai this project is a marvellous thing and the tribune gives the undertaking its whole hearted support the boys and girls are becoming safetyconscious and the lessons they have learned are already being put into practice on village streets few local residents had any knowledge of saturdays park pro gram but if any had visited the grounds they no doubt would have been amazed at the response there were bicycles there of all sizes with riders to match both boys and girls the safety project is off to a flying start and we hope it is never dropped a practical experience what happens when a volks wagen slams into the side of a mov ing diesel locomotive one look at the mangled remains of the car on 14th ave markham twp east of box grove on saturday morning will tell its own story one would naturally lake it for granted that the two frontseat vic tims would be killed instantly on impact but no the two men cheated the hand of death thanks only to the use of seat belts what more extreme circum stances could be possible a small rearengined car and a multitonned locomotive in collision without a death the difference was without a doubt a 10 safetybelt investment at the time of writing the driver and his passenger are alive but in serious condition in hospital the majority of people who viewed the accident scene took a good long look at the belts that only minutes before had saved two lives the impression was shortlived no doubt drivers and passengers will still gamble and motorists will con tinue to die on the roads every day its the car manufacturer that must make the move a good investment the board of the childrens aid society of york county which is supported by county funds and con tributed to by local taxpayers has established a fund for the furthering of the education of children who are wards of the society these children are technically on their own once they reach the age of sixteen and are expected to seek employment however in a number of instances these children are above average students and it is a definite waste in brain potential when they are npt enabled to go on to higher education the new fund established is for the purpose of assistingsuch students this is a most worthwhile idea and the board of the society is to be commended for putting it forward money for the fund will come from bequests and donations from private citizens and a considerable sum is already available from these sources it is always regrettable not only from the individuals standpoint but from the countrys as well if a brill iant student is unable to continue his or her education through lack of financial help in the recent periods of high unemployment through which we have passed no fact has been pointed- out and recognized more clearly than that education is a must if one wishes to besuccessfully cm- ployed in our highly technical age a twominute miracle at three oclock on sunday morning while the village of stouff- ville sleeps a twominute miracle will occur a new dial telephone sys tem will replace the old manual switchboard that has been in opera tion here longer than most of us can remember only those close to the bell ser vice can know of the prearranged plans that make such a major change over possible with only a minor in terruption of communications a front page item in this issue of jtt u tribune attempts to describe in pan the transformation that will take place there is no doubt that the new dial system is progress in the full est meaning of the word but with the removal of the manual board with its maze of lights cords and plugs there must be that feeling of regret to see still another custom bow to the skill of mans genius perhaps no one is closer to the switchboard personnel than the local newspaper the tribune has enjoyed many favours from the operataors down through the years beyond the call of regular duty the fire siren blows we would ask the switchboard to pinpoint the scene of the blaze a number but no name of a classified adv we seek information aid a policeman needed in a hurry call the operator a receiver carelessly left off the hook a polite reminder call comes through john jones phone is out of order so youd like to call his neighbor no sooner said than done there are dozens more if time and space would permit if we lend to sound a wee bit remorseful in welcoming this new telephone era to town and district its only because the cold mechanical wizardry of the dial tone is a nostal gic nasal note in comparison with the cheery number please that we have come to know so well hunting is not dangerous the approach of the hunting season will be the signal once again for a number of people to view with alarm and point with horror to the hunting accident toll they will de cry the sport as a dangerous one and cite the current number of hunting accidents to bolster their claim hunting is not a dangerous sport it is not nearly as dangerous as going for a sunday drive in the family car almost every weekend thereare more people killed in auto mobile accidents across canada than are killed or wounded during the en tire hunting season actually in surance companies rank hunting as 17th on the list of dangerous sports with such commonplace activities as football and swimming near the top of the list- hunting is not dangerous how ever some of the people who hunt are dangerous because they do not obey the simple rules of courtesy and safety these same people am equally dangerous when they disre- jfziid the simple rules of courtesy and afetjyh wheel of thcirauto- mobile the rudder of a boat on the diving- board the golf fairway or on the ski run the point is that some people are dangerous do not be one of this type in whatever activity you take part do not cause death suffering and heartbreak to others because of your carelessness sportsmen are one of the few groups who are doing something to make their hobby a safer one all across canada huntertraining cours es are springing up under the aus pices of hunting and fishing groups these courses are aimed primarily at teaching young people to think be fore they act to be responsible citi zens who will be considerate of their neighbors and companions courses are aimed at building the youth of today into responsible citizens of to morrow any group which is building better citizens deserves the cooperation of all those who take part in their activities whether you hunt drivo fish or ski whatever you do this fall do it as responsible individual safely and courteously i next nfei sugar and spice by bui smiley my isnt it nice to be pure isit it satisfying to sit back and deplore isnt it grand to tw

over liquor outlets in pickering township residents of claremont and distiict have voiced mixed feelings concerning the forthcoming liquor plebiscite in the twp of pickering and the opening of sales outlets in the municipality should the yes vote gain its lequired 60 majority the tribune conducted a telephone survey among people picked at landom and some of their opinions on the controvei sial issue are published heie the vote is slated for oct 27th it doesnt matter to me one way or another said mis j e acres of claremont she noted however that licenced outlets might tend to halt any illegalliquor sales in the aiea she sakft that they had previously resided in windsor where liquor was available but she could not recall that its presence had any noticeable effect on the people as a whole i know my husband is in favour said mrs a r bate claremont rr2 i havent made up my mind yet she said that she personally does not recommend its sale but suggested that there were points in favour of having legalized outlets in the township the township should remain dry said mrs john bayles claremont rr2 mr bayles also agreed with this stand its immaterial to me stated mis clarence beelby of clai emont were opposed to liquor weve never had it in our home said mrs allan caison claremont she said that her husband was working with the vote no committee in the township im certainly opposed said mrs jas coates of clai emont my husband feels the sane way too many accidents im against it of course stated mis murray dunkeld claremont rr2 there are so many accidents where drink is involved especially among young people mrs dunkeld pointed out that it seems rather ridiculous for the law to wage a war against accidents and then provide the liquor that causes many of them it just doesnt make sense she said we have enough outlets in the district now said mrs j r milne of claremont we have a fairly nice clean commun ity heie and such a trade always seems to attract a certain undcsiiable element into an aiea it seems to have worked out ahighf in other comnun- hies commented mrs reg sanderson claremont if a person wants it theyre going to get it whether it is in pickering or some other place we might just as well keep the money in the township t havent given the matter much thought said mrs geo smith clai emont i know how we will vote but i dont wish to express an opinion in public said mrs roy morgan of claremont she noted that if the nos failed to turn out and vote the town ship would certainly go wet i havent thought too much about it said mrs lawrence norton claremont it doesnt matter one way or another to me drive miles for it anyone who wants it will diive miles for it anyway said mrs anthony vanderligt of claicmont a native of holland she said that liquor could be purchased in stoies much the same as in the united states i never noticed any inciease in drunkenness she said she suggested that under the piesent system there tended to be more drinking on the road if the temperance association and church leaders would educate the people on the proper use of liquor rather than condemning it it would be far better stated mr kal vlzely of claremont rr3 strict prohibition only tends to worsen the liquor problem he said mr vizely said he did not oppose the opening of outlets in the township if the liquor pro moters depended on me for their sales they would be out selling newspapers on the street corner he concluded oh we have our little pecadilloesjafter all weie human i mean you can carry this junk tofar we recognize th fact for example that the dam rnan catholics or thft heretical protestants are out to gehis under their thumb that theyve gone too far at last an that theyve got to be stopped somewhere i we realize that while negioes artefinitely human beings theres no point in iiritating our an ican tourists bv letting the black people stay at our tourist ions after all business is business we know perfectly well that j s aie just as good a anybody smart too but lets ke them in the clothing business they seem to like it lei not allow moie than a few of them into medicine or dentiy lets not have anv of them in our big national banker insuiance companies theyre too dang smart for their owpood speaking- of foreigners of coie we dont rail hem foreigners as some people do theyl ethnic groups or new canadians or bloody europeans i jrt thlntf theres another country in the world that gives n a warmer welcome around election time i i must admit that its lather aijing that some of these comparative newcomers to our couir dont seem to get into i seem to think that a ey not that he isnt addison this is my fiist repoit to the constituents of york north since the opening of parliament on september 27th for a mem ber of parliament taking his seat for the first time it is both an exciting and a sobering experience the color and interest of the formal opening meeting of the rew members and the tension caused in waiting for noncon fidence votes have surely been exciting but the unstable con dition of our present political situation in canada and the serious state of our economy at present aie indeed sobering canadas problems we on the opposition side were disappointed by the speech from the throne as i am suie many members of the government were my com ments are not made in a parti san sense but rather because we had all looked forward to announcement of stiong and specific measures to meet the problems canada now faces it may be that legislation yet to be brought down in parliament will include such measiues the fact the government has a minoiity of membeis makes it difficult for the house to settle down to loutine business essential to the countiy how ever the conoivativc govern ment and thf social credit party appear to have reached s working position in which the government can count on the social credit vote if this con tinues the government will be able to survive for some time ixyirnlnp the ropes meantime those of us who are learning the ropes as new members are being relatively quiet as new members usually are in the british parliamentary tradition on our side hon mr pearson the opposition leader the spirit of the thing some of t mikloski is just as good as a mcc of couise but well you know -a- k a lot of these people dont seeij realize that our ances tors didnt come out here just to get from under the thumb of some old czar or king or just toti an easy place to make a living they came out here bjse there was a potato famine in ii eland or they were on liiole in england or th porridge was mighty thin in scotlanlr something woithwhile like that but i think the one thing thhighlighls the toleranc and lack of racial piejudice of cajans above all others is the way we have tieated our natilndians this is whers the true benevolence of the bioadrled liberalthinking can adian stands out like a tih lais nose did we ciowd them into tinylerves as the americans did after wed pioved we could lidiem well yes we did actually but we paid them cash the lands we took away well not exactly cash maybe butjod longterm promissory note and do you know some ofje indians still receive as much as 477 a year in interhaionk and it wasnt that we took aylheir good land we just look a lot of old cattle pasture aieop land that they werent using anyway and we handed olf them some dandy hijjh rocky jand and some good fertwanips for their reserva tions v i do we deny the indians tights not for a minute every time we get involved iavar we let them join th army just like white people why in some of our momghlened provinces indians can go in the pubs and geiik just like white people and a final mark of our tff in their welfare we ar now letting them go to schplh our own children this will probably finish them off fr than whiskey or smallpox yes sir it makes you ferny downright warm all over when you realize that we fdans dont have a prejudiced bone in our bodies
