Conservative Party under the levelheaded leader ship of the Hon Leslie Frost was returned to power with slightly reduced share of the vote but with a sub stantial majority This is all to the good except for the fact that the Opposition will provide a numerical strengthening The Liberals with members an in crease of 11 and the with five instead of three lack leaders of the calibre needed for effective opposi tion to the government party of members What about the voters out of every 100 who did not vote It is our impression that the nonvoter in many cases is the businessman who is not interested in politics We do not refer to the employers of labor as our definition of a businessman He is the butcher the grocer the candlestick maker In so rrany instanc es he considers that politics even on the municipal level means nothing to him until it affects his own pocketbook Our opinion is that businessmen should get into politics as citizens The businessman who is not interested in politics is analogous to the drowning man who is not interested in water Our congratulations to Lex Mackenzie upon his re election as our representative from North York with an orchid to Premier Frost and his cabinet of business men We the people have renewed their contract lo give us a strong Progressive Conservative administra- The Press Of The Province A TOUCH OF FROST The had an unexpectedly large audience Cor its TV programs in Ontario on election night This gave more people better opportunity to see how lousy I their highly expensive is was and ever will be f Their handling of the election returns was biased it was misleading it was a thoroughly bad show Even Premier Frost accused the of deliberately plac ing him and bis government in an unfavorable light We trust that this episode will serve a purpose in bringing to the attention of the government at Ottawa the utter folly of staying in the amusement business at the expense of the taxpayer The most recent dis closure was the expenditure of ONE MILLION DOL LARS to produce the Pierre did you ever hear of him TV series in English and French That was the cost for halfhour films on the life of an early explorer The got in return for broad casting rights That was a loss of 854000 Then we read that has paid the Big Four football clubs a total of for the telecast facilities this fall They hope to sell the games to commercial sponsors but no night games and a blackout in local areas in cluding playoffs See what happens avoidable Inexperience ignorance and are the causes This is National Safety Week Time spent now boning up on the Canadian Red Cross Soci etys water safety rules can mean a happier casualty- THE MENACE TAKES TO WATER You simply cant gut away from the reckless driver Our roads are cluttered with irresponsible behind the drivers wheels and now they have taken to the water ways This summer will see thousands of amateur skippers hurtling iheir noisy craft across the waters of our lakes and streams all without the controls which have been found necessary for highway driving Even nineyearolds can take out highpowered craft without license or checkup on the rules of water safety or even the knowledge of steering It doubtless will take accidents and loss of life before the nautical drivers come under the same regulations that apply to those who drive on the roads THAT DISCOMFORT INDEX In older to measure how uncomfortable you can be with a combination of heat and humidity the US Weather Bureau came out last mouth with a new yard- the diuimfoii index When the heat and hu midity really gel you down tune in on your radio and you can find out how down you are Anything below dscmfrt and you arc all right Above 75 you should be miserable Well they tried it out for a month and nobody liked the idea so they dropped it But not Canada Our weather service aped the US and came up with the discomfort index after it had been discarded in the Stales Just like the missile the US sold it to Canada and then dropped it like a hot potato Our discomfort index registers lion Pari a still ha people could lit down in their bees I think that if a Uii T Presentation At St Andrews to deal with two matters policy and CNR finance Both the CBC and the CNR should be sold to the high est bidder The Canadian people have no right to be in the broadcasting or in the transportation business Mondays newspapers after each summer weekend carry the grim tabulation of drownings at resorts and beaches where have crowded lo get away from it all Reading these tragic reports makes one wonder if it might not he wiser just to stay at home and keep away from it all Further contemplation however makes us realize that for two reasons this is not the solution to cutting down the water death toll f this country Firstly our own yards are not entirely without danger More and more neighborhoods are boasting backyards with private swimming pools While these must be fenced in often there is still access lo them and not often is there a person trained in life saving watching over them Small plastic wading pools have become increasingly popular loo Even these although their shallow depth makes them appear harmless can take the life of a toddler unless play In them is care fully supervised Secondly it would be a shame to deny ourselves the use of our many beautiful waterways when with the use of a little common sense and water safety knowledge we could make them almost accident free The facta show that few drowning are totally A MANS HOME IS HIS CASTLE Tribune mans home is his castle and unless its to surrounding residents community the York County Health Unit is loath lo lake any type of action against either the owner or ils occupants This information was supplied lo the Tribune by Dr King of Newmarket He noted however that where the bouse is operated as a rest home or where children are involved the matter is regarded in a different light The latter issue is investigated by the Childrens Aid Such a delicate situation exists here in The condition of the resilience has been reported lo the Health Unit Office Dr King said that the report either had or would be checked out by one of six Unit inspectors It seems right that human beings should be permitted lo exist under such excruciating circumstances One might think that some pressure should be brought to bear on the owner bring his quarters up to a higher standard of repair Where adults alone are concerned the law is hesitant about enforcing any and fast rule on such establishments We would slate that the case here in should certainly receive attention from the Childrens Aid Society but on the other hand it is a touchmenot affair for the Health Unit Conditions of Individuals vary There will always be a lower middle and upper class of dwelling according to the financial status of the owner Who are we as private citizens to point the finger at our less fortunate brothers and condemn his place of lodging A mans home is his castle whether Our Readers Write iilill citizen alike oV couldnt ultramodern Baxter Says Its A Phony NUMBER ONE PESTS AGAIN Fire and highway accidents are the two leaders in
