Foge 6 Thwsrsdey, Movemier 10, 1960 Power Boat Operator Licence Law Delayed Ontario's deputy stiomey - general, Eric Bill, did well to request & record of those who voted for and against the licensing of small power bost operators at 'so-called safety conference in Ottews this week. The public has a right to know the names of the individuals end or. ganizations who ere blocking the much needed licensing action. In the mesn- time, one can only sssume thet the opponents of licences are more concern. ed about their selfish interests then public safety, Mr, Silk had another good suggestion ~thet those opposed to licensing join him at inquests into drownings, There wes some suggestion at the conference that there was little evidence to support the demand for licensing power boat operators, Yet significantly, those who have most to do with control of water traffic or the tragic results of uncontrolled traffic were all in favor of licensing, Mr, Bilk argued that "we must have licensing and we cannot wait , , , if we are to cut down on the numbers of bosting deaths" Unless there is » licens ing scheme, irresponsible skippers will continue to violste basic safety rules and pose @ threset to the safety of others, he pointed out. Alan Cumyn, the uwansport depsrt ments director of marine regulations, reported thet the departmen's files were crammed with letters from citizens ask. ing for licensing of host operators. George Ragen, superintendent of the Toronto harbor police, mourned the failure to make s start on licensing legislation, Mr. Cumyn advised the delegates several times that the department did not consider itself bound by the outcome of the conference. But any licensing proposal would be reviewed st another small boat safety conference before it was adopted, And that undoubtedly means that no proposal could be made effective before the 1961 boating season, and probably not the 1962 season, What 8 chaotic situation would exist it the same attitude were taken towards automobile traffic More Wilderness Area One of the most praiseworthy pro- grams of the Ontario government has been the establishment and extension of wilderness areas in the province = areas which are preserved from coms mercial exploitation and in which the student of flora and fauna, the historian and the nature lover can work and play or seek solitude, Since the Wilder. ness Areas Act came into force in March, 1059, the Department of Lands and Forests has established 28 of these areas, The minister, the Hon, J. W, Spooner, explained, "We are seeking in this way to preserve for posterity the rich charac. ter and natural endowments of these wilderness areas, They are spread across Ontario and now have been formally set apart by Order - in Council regula. tion, This is the first group of such lands to be set apart, All are small areas and none, except Cape Henrietta Maria (144,000 acres) exceeds ' 640 acres, Each has a particular and signis ficant value either for its historic relation. ships, its rich potential for research or other scientific uses or for its: unusual natural features," Thus, Fairy Point in the Sudbury area is the site of an old Indian battle- Twenty-nine Russian scientists have peered into the future and come up with their predictions in a book entitled "Life in the Twenty-First Century", There is no mention of war ~~ appar- ently the scientists do not consider this a probability, Indeed, the whole tone of the book is one of confidence and what Dr, Norman Vincent Peale calls positive thinking, Here is how they see the future: The working day in forty years will be one of four hours, Sleeping hours are to be halved, Life's expectedness will be added to by 30 years, There will be bloodless surgery. Transport will be fuel-less. There will be an end of the deserts of the world, Underground electronic "guiders" will enable road traffic to move at 150 miles an hour, @he Oshavn Times 14, WILSON, Publisher and Generel Manage ©.

Perhaps, as on 22nd November, Boy Scouts will come to an investiture In the evenings, there are fre. quently state banquets or official dinners to attend, Recently, thelr Excellencies thus entertained in honor of Prince Tunku, prime minister of Malaya; two weeks hence they will give a banquet on the eve of the opening of Parliament, which itself is "His Ex's" single most important pub- lie function of the year, On a more homely level, they may he the guests of one of Ottawa's clubs LIFE ON WHEELS Then there are official travels «for the much-enjoyed month of official residence In The Citadel at Quebec; or to visit distant provinces; or perhaps to attend the Royal Winter Fair in Tops onto, or to he guest of the Canadian Grenadier Guards in Montreal, On these journeys, Their Ex. cellencies use their private rail QUEEN' S PARK Premier Frost's Sales Tax Idea By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- What is an "ine direct" sales tax? Wii in the Ontario version it rect tax applied directly indirectly, When Prouior Frost first pro. posed an Indirect tax at Ottawa in July there were howls to heaven The Instant reaction was that the premier had in mind another hidden tax that would be paid by the manufacturer, f there was anybody In the province that approved he must have heen living In an igloo in the far north Certainly everybody interested and within reasonable communi. cation at all registered aggres- sive protest RETAIL LEVEL Now it turns out Mr, Frost didn't have a hidden tax in mind at all, His version of an indirect tax be double the present size and stoneless, Deserts will be a thing of the past, Automation will come to industry and chemical research to produce better clothes, drugs and food, Weather forecasts will come from the moon. And we shall know more about the sea-beds, Submarine liners will operate as frequently as the present day shipping lines, Other Editor's Views POOR EATING (Windsor Star) A vacationer, just returned from a long motor trip through much of Ontario, brings back a familiar complaint. He was enchanged by the beautiful country. side, pleased by the availability of de cent accommodation, But he was quite disillusioned by lack of good eating places.

And so the indirect tax is a8 much an excuse to secure this as anything else. The premier has indicated it will he a while yet before we know. whether he will actually impose the tax, He has said pretty clearly that he intends to walt out at least one more federal-provincial con. ference Whether he really expects to got anything out of this or not is hard to say. It is perhaps significant that these davs he stresses more Pig ever that his proposals are for "gradual" relinquishing by on ay of its present income tax This means, of course, that any concessions at all could be pub. licly marked as a step forward One car contains hedrooms and bathrooms for their excellencies and a secretary and the lady-in- waiting, The other contains the lounge, dining room end galley, office, and rooms and bath for two aides Resting In that temporary home-on-wheels, as when in their official residence here in Of taws, the governor general writes his personal letters, or en. joys the hooks and periodicals of which he is such a voracious reader: Shakespeare, Thackeray and other classics in English; the works of Claudel or of his own friend Francols Mauriac in French; or magazines published # Canad, Britain, France and Her Excellency is not such a great reader, bul Is a constant letter - writer, often using her portable typewriter which even accompanies her on the vice regal train, In his initial year as our first GG from Quebec, General Vanier has unostentatiously and Bre bably unintentionally pro ted across Canada an image of dedication to duty, In the finest tradition of the Canadian monarchy of which he Is the senior symbol resident here, The Potomac River from Ws Jost Ml adiss trade route 8 lov Wit B WET ontunes helow Weshinglon LOD YEAR LOOK AHEAD!
