aadmississauga hews editorials violence in strikes is forty years out of date widespread vandalism and claims of intimidation are features of the recent truckers strike in this area reasonable people can only regret such incidents as these one company has estimated that repairing punctured radiators and making good other damage will cost about 8500 several complaints of threats and intimidation have been heard this sort of gratuitous violence against street needs to be widened some effort should be made to have the main st pavement widened to the maximum downtown width from just east of church st to park dr it is at this point that the pavement narrows and is creating a dangerous situation by the post office in ad dition to causing endless congestion the area from church st east to park dr is commercial property and warrants pavement as ample as in the balance of the main st block at the time the street was newly paved there were only two business places east of church st and the engineers in their wisdom believed the width could be reduced at this point car doors are continually being opened in this stretch as post office customers call for their mail one step out from the parked vehicles and one is almost directly in the traffic lane only good fortune has avoided an accident up to now j even though stouffville may graduate to a mail delivery system before too many years the fact that thisareaiszoned com mercially and the number of business places is gradually increasing should be sufficient reason to make this improvement people and equipment might at one time have had some possible justification if we consider the history of the tradeunion movement in this country it is not surprising that violence was frequent in strikes during the first three decades of this century it was workers vs bosses with no holds barred on either side where the bosses considered themselves entitled to hire what amounted to private armies to terrorize the strikers the strikers retaliated with firebombing of plants when strikebound capitalists hired scabs to break the unions the strikers assaulted and sometimes killed the scabs as we said we can understand this even if we cant condone it but those days are over the time for such tactics died with the death of the iww or perhaps when the af of l and the cio merged the tradeunion movement has retreated from the romanticized socialistanarchist aims of its early days it has not replaced the rotten edifice of this society as leon blum advocated instead it has been coopted and become a major force in our society unions today are protected and institutionalized and the balance pf power has in some instances swung heavily to the side of labour in britain for example the trades union congress can make or break cabinet ministers or even governments the petty violence we have witnessed in the local haulers strike is an anachronism it belongs to the past and has no place in modern negotiations we suspect this van dalism grows out of irrational and impulsive acts by a few hotheaded and stupid in dividuals such individuals whether in unions or management are not protected by any cloak of immunity merely because a strike is in progress they are common criminals and should be prosecuted as such council must spend carefully whitchurch stouffville council has ap proved quite a few projects in the past year including purchase of the arena an addition to the ballantrae community centre and a new library building 1 an added expense could result from putting the old post office building to use and this summer the town sponsored a recreation program for ballantrae and vandorf youngsters there are other enterprises that could be mentioned as well at some point it seems clear- council is going to have to draw the line but the question of where is not an easy one deciding that one project is frivolous and another is not often is in the eye of the beholder perhaps the most we can ask at this point is that council cut costs wherever possible and be extremely careful that funds are not being squandered and as for residents of the town perhaps their motto from now on should be a variation on a famous john f kennedy phrase to wit ask not what you municipality can do for you but ask what you can do for your municipality complaint aboutpark is supported dear sir after reading letter to the editor in the tribune of july 22 im afraid i have to sup port lynn taylors comments regarding the playground i have two preschoolers one 3 years and one va the 3v4yearoid enjoyed the slides but was upset because she couldnt use theswings 1yearold had nothing to play on or with except the sand under the swings not a very safe sandbox to say the least you have a large park area in stouffville and i feel the equipment could be improved such as adding a sandbox a toddlersize slide and childrens swings would be a great im provement planners and developers tend to cater to the selfsufficient person never

bill smiley well by the time this appears in print well be nearing fall and here i am groping around in my own backyard not even started on my way to paraguay itsnot that i havent had a tremendous response to my appeal to readers to help out with accommodation in such places as lima and la paz and for someone to volunteer to fly me down an enterprising travel agent in meaford ont told me his dad wanted to go to south america too wished me well arid offered to arrange my trip down caroline ngui of windsor warned me that i had my countries mixed up and might wind up in the former british guiana instead of the former dutch guiana with no place to stay quite right the former dg is now surinam and thats where i aim to go perhaps ms ngui has a sister there or an ancient aunt who would put me up for a night or two but the clincher came when old don mccuaig the newspaper baron of renfrew county challenged me to put up or shut up he offered to share expenses and presumably he has a plane i had hoped to be going along with somebody younger and better looking another thing he says he has no ex girl friends south of the border no problem old buddy you can have maria rosa carvalho shes
