Authorized as Second Class Mall Fost Department Ottawa THE EDITORIAL PAGE WEDNESDAY THE OF SEPTEMBER NINETEEN HUNDRED AND INDUSTRIAL MIRAGES At a recent meeting at Honey Har bour Municipal Affairs Minister J took a verbal swing at a consid erable number of the smaller industrial commissions throughout Ontario when he told them that tax concessions and simil ar giveaways were fading out as a means of attracting for but rarely Mr suggested planning obtaining only is which might make use admitted He also showed that organi zations and companies seeking tax con cessions and almost free land are in many cases not prepared economically to establish in a community and if they do the results can only be disastrous to the community Newmarket along with many other towns of similar size has been involved in this type of situation many times in the past and advantages were badly out numbered by the pitfalls and technical difficulties which left a bad taste Often through the years firms have received tax free land low rentals and other tax concessions and then collapsed The organizers of these concerns are not wholly to blame Municipalities an- xious to obtain new industry hear about a possible establishment and jump in with these incentives long before the firm is ready to get into business By this doubtful means many firms are started long they are ready and it is this haste prompted by concessions which proves to be the downfall of the new industry In his that long ten those industri of the natural sound financial reserves should be the basic requirements of a firm wishing to relocate or make a start These are not flybynight firms They establish slowly move quietly and last for decades and they dont ask for gimmicks or giveaways CALL TO ARMS They say that all the world loves a lover but that doesnt mean that anyone in his right mind loves a behind the wheel of a moving automobile And thus it is surprising how tolerant the police appear to be towards those two-in- one drivers two minds with but a single thought not connected with carcontrol two bodies in a single place the most of us encounter so frequently on the streets and highways Sometimes it even seems that such to getherness although not always in extreme form is the prescribed way for premarital young people to travel so that nothing makes a man and wife feel so aging and so married as to put some wear on the right side of the front seat It may be of course that the officers of the law do not shut their eyes to the dangerous practice quite as much as they ft to It could happen that the sight of a police car produces instant separa- it Is odd that it appar ently takes an accident or an exception ally close approach to one to bring about a prosecution for careless driving on this score or to use a matteroffact and un- official phrase for driving while obstructed by a passenger lie is too dazzled by the spectacular to recognize and take advantage of the commonplace the miracles that are available for the asking This thought was prompted by pro motional material for Immunization Week being sponsored September 2026 by the Health League of Canada in co operation with health departments This is the space age with man hav ing breakfast in Home and eating evening dinner with his family in Toronto It is also the age when a can of coined beef from South America is blamed for a major epidemic of typhoid in Scotland It was worldwide news when people became ill in Aberdeen It should be a sobering thought that the same can of contaminated beef could have made its way to Canada Only last April Dr A It J Boyd Toronto medical officer of health and his deputy Dr Moss were quoted as saying the city was on the verge of a cri tical health problem The cause of their concern was one case of smallpox and one of diphtheria being discovered and treat ed in Toronto There was a wide chance in both instances that other people could have contracted both these danger ous diseases Dr Moss stated The smallpox victim was a businessman just back from India Diphtheria carriers w among the little at the Ontario Crippled Childrens Centre last fall and again this spring The child carriers seven in the fall six in March were iso lated treated and sent home free of the virulent organism It was believed a hoy could have triggered the chain reaction both In when the Health League of Canada was requested to sponsor a Tox oid Week Toronto had diphtheria and deaths Four years later there wasnt a death from the di sease in the city and in there wasnt a single case of diphtheria A miracle of medicine had been performed Immu nization offers the same protection sgainst smallpox poliomyelitis whooping cough and tetanus In this space age the Health League renders a valuable service to society with Its reminder that an epidemic may be only a few hours away Dont wait for it to tome to you Protect yourself and your young ones now by asking for Community Hall At Arena Could Be

monster cars that were being and produced every year the wane and those with hundreds of horsepower and capable of twice the speed limit were going out of Alas we have read one or two of the current
