stooffvm w1sum tfegvfey tee 25 editarial commendable parents have often ben criti cized for displaying a lack of interest in the academic progress of their children and a lukewarm attitude toward public school programs in general in some communities this may be true but it was certainly not in evidence in the auditorium of the stouffville district high school on thursday nijrht it was the annual awards pre sentation nijrht for orchard park public school and the parental re sponse was outstanding summitview school held a similar program tues- pa rental response day evening of this week it certainly must have ben gra tifying to the principal and staff to look out over that sizeable audience and realize with some satisfaction that childteacher relationships also extend into the home in the same manner it must have been a significant occasion for each pupil to know that mom and pop were willing to take the time to see them parade across the platform it was a big night for the kids and their parents presence made it the biggest event in their young lives and they call that service on wednesday evening of last week three young stouffville district boys were injured one seriously in a car accident at the intersection of xo 47 hwy and cone 2 in uxbridga township for some unexplained reason the ambulance retained in the town of uxhridge did not arrive at the scene for at least an hour following the mishap excuses for this period of delay have been many and varied we won der how realistic they would sound to passing motorists who offered assistance and waited or to the par ents who have a son lying paralized in the hospital sometimes we are too quick to criticize a public service and condemn them for incidents that are beyond their human control with this thought in mind we are anxious to obtain only a few facts that might throw a little light on an incident that has aroused some unsavory com ments the township of uxbridge has been asked to contribute a per capita fee toward the operation and main tenance of this ambulance service and for this if for no other reason we feel that the people deserve a logical explanation look afrer your weeds this is the month for everyone in town to cut down the weeds on their property town regulations re- quire this action and the town weed inspector has been charged by council with the duty of carrying out the act council is also concerned with weeds growing on municipal property and along local roadsides an important feature of this weed business is the need to he neighborly and courteous in stouff ville there are many beautiful and well kept gardens that represent many hours of work by their owners we all enjoy the attractiveness of these gardens and many of us thoughtlessly add to the work needed to keep them tidy and lovely by allowing weeds to grow unchecked on vacant land surely we dont need laws and regulations to make us thoughtful of others dont wait until the weed inspec tor calls to tell you that it must be done arrange now to have your weeds cut before the seeds spread out over town if you cant do it your self arrange for someone else to do it for you something to think about a recent conference on working hours recently came up with the assumption that a fourhour day for working would in the future be a possibility professional people at the conference however had the comment this is not for us we even work on saturday night to some people it would appear that people who are good at their job and enjoy their work are gluttons for punishment many put in num erous unpaid hours of public service as well it would seem completely foreign to them to have to punch a time clock there are thousands who take enjoyment out of their work who have to punch a time clock and have to stop when the bell rings that is unless they are selfemployed in which case they may work to their hearts content there is great emphasis placed on privilege and maybe not enough on what we call hearts content when and if working hours are dras tically reduced there will be an enor mous need to fill the hours left over in some profitable way if they are not filled in such a way that the indi vidual has a sense of purpose it would appear that a lot of hearts content will vanish from this world store trends always changing with the population explosion in the area and the retail outlet explo sion which has come along with it store trends have been kept contin ually on the move little by little retail merchants have moved from their shortest work week of five days open with one night hack to six days and two or three nights competition has done this to offset the added work hours storekeepers are trying all types of new tactics to take advantage of only those hours which it is believed customers most favour for shopping almost all merchant are now agreed that evening shopping is here to stay and that it is most favoured its a convenience for the housewife on the other hand trends show that there are several other hours during the day when stores might as well be closed one finds when travelling in europe where merchants have had long experience and consideration of the needs of both shopper the store owner and the employee there is a lesson to be learned this brings into effect a much later opening in the morning and a complete closing for two hours at noon after which stores reopen and remain available to customers until 9 oclock at night the longer lunch hour at least would promote better eating habits than the sandwich cupofcoffee rou tine that many of us follow we understand that some of the shopping plazas are already taking over part of this idea as to later owning times in the morning cus tomer preferences certainly seem to indicate that night shopping and elasticity of hours is the real demand ottawa report john h addison mp north york the economical relationship between canada and the uni tes states is one of the most challenging governmental ques tions of our time the total foreign investment in canada is now up to 24 bil lion dollars of which 18 bil lion is american capital these billions are primarily in equity participation in canadian in dustry and equity participation means actual ownership this ownership by united states interests has serious ex port and balance of payments problems in canada therefore the government is anxious to find new ways of assuring that canadian subsid iaries of foreign parent comp anies have not only their free dom but also the incentive to maximize heir sales both in vs and other foreisn mar ket i on the one hand some for eign subsidiaries perform in an exemplary manner with a large sometimes increasing propor tion of their production being sold in foreign markets on the other hand we know of many subsidiaries with ex port potential that have no in terest or no freedom to exploit opportunities sometimes devel oped for them by commodity officers in ottawa or canadian trade commisioncrs abroad there are over 1700 subsid iaries in canada of foreign firms in the manufacturing field only 750 of thcc have made known to the department of trade and commerce their interest in export department officials are at present engaged in assessing the export performance of these firms and in due course we hope to make personal contact with all thoe uhnc perform ance might he improved point ing out

sitting there talking as though wnid- rationing was going into effect at midnight the radio alter nated between shouts of some group noisier and jiausiouser than the beatles courtesy of my daughter

wifes talking jags after is years ive abandoned all hope of improving my daughters taste or temperament but by george i still have some love for my fellow man once a year whether i like it or not i publish some safety hints on hunting driving trying to get along with women or a similar perilous undertaking strictly in the public interest for example when canoeing never kneel in the bottom of the thing its too hard on the knees use a longhandled paddle and paddle standing up that way you can jump it she rolls over it youre merely a passenger stand in the bow so that you can warn of rocks large turtles or waterfalls it youre boating with an outboard motor dont be afraid io display a little panache always approach a dock straight on and at top speed at the last conceivable moment ciif your motor and swing the tiller hard over some day you might cut the tiller and swing the motor but who wants to live forever never take life jackets when you go fishing youre liable to trip over one of them and all overboard while innocently walking up to the bow for a cold beer if you insist on taking lifejackets tie them to your tackle box fishermen are a drug on the market but good tackle is expensive speaking of fishing dont look around before you wind up to cast its considered a slur on the agility of your companions its up to the other guys in the boat to keep an eye on you if they want to keep an eye that is never swim where theres a crowd you went on your holidays to get away from people remember pick out a nice lonely spot and dive in its old fashioned but best way io ieseb kids swim is io throw them off a dock ii can be embarrassing if you cant xwlm yourself and they refuse to float about fires never scatter sand and vrir on your bonfire when you leave maybe the next fellow doesnt have a match to start his own this is known as common courtesy because its so common you have to use a little common sense to gel your baibecue charcoal going too weve tried a couple of those commercial fluids but theres not enought action what i do now is give the charcoal a good sloshing with lawnmower gas then every body hits the deck i stand away back and hurl lighted matches at the thing it may not be the status way to do it but it sure as hell gets that charcoal going well thats about it just follow these safety hints and you will never have any more worries about summer or any thing else proach nd i think the canad ian government is entitled to the full cooperation of the fo reign subsidiaries one example of this type of constructive approach is the re cent automobile parts incentive program the trade deficit with the us last year amounted to some 475 million dollars much of it accounted for by the trade in automible and parts to re duce this deficit by encourag ing the export of automobile parts to the united states the i canadian government introdu- i ced a tariff incentive for every dollar by which the export of parts is increased manufacturers in canada are allowed to import a dollars worth of us parts free of duty this is not unreasonable na tionalism nor an attack on the us interests it is a reasonable attempt to correct an imbalance of trade however th us undersec retary of state mr george bill has been quitt critical of this canadian success he warned that when two economies are as closely linked as those of canada and the united states both governments had a duty not to act in a way which could cause serious difficulties to the other despite the acceptance and even encouragement of the program by the us automobile industry the us auto parts industry then approached the american customs bureau to set up countervailing tarriffs on the canadian parts it is also reported that wal ter reuther international head of the uavv is concerned that the drury plan will cost the us union ten thousand jobs it is reasonably supposed these ten thousand jobs will be tran sferred to canadians and the canadian labour congress last december presented a brief to the federal government which wholeheartedly supported the drury plan the us position will be made clear after july 2nd and the secretary of the treasury mr dillon will be advised of the decision by the commission er of customs finance minister gordon is emphatic that the auto incentive piogiuni will continue prime minister pearson in his address to rotary interna tional had this to say on the subject o the american side you should not ignore or misin terpret our determination to build a separate canadian na tion on tt continent with a separate canadian industry this does not mean we do not appreciate good neighbourhood it means we feel we have a contribution of our own to make to that ncighbourhhod which we could not make if we were swallowed up in the pres sures and pleasures and profits of contincntalism so we are going to remain canadian and not become a northern texas or california or arizona you ought to be 2000 electric heat consultants

american investments out side of your own country how pleased therefore you must be to have canada to well run by its federal and provin cial governments to ensure that you can get a good return on that investment and when the united states authorities threaten to take any action that might interfere with our econ omic progress there should be a real rush on washington to remind people there
