wv J J J r j or Dr Rose Resented By Many Concerning our report last week of the official opening of the new Aurora District High School we I have not been surprised to hear complaints of a serious omission in the proceedings We noted this as we sat in our place in a rear part of the auditorium but did not wish to mention it in our report of what otherwise was a great occasion Wo mention it now with re- r spite of much com meat The was th failure on somebodys part include the mayor of the town in the proceedings Dr Craw ford Rose was on the but even in that instance he introduced lo the audience af ter the exmayor Mr Bell had received a prior introduction This was an unpleasant display of bad taste and an illformed idea of etiquette if it were done otherwise it was merely clumsy or forgetful However the omission of the mayors name from a program on such an occasion the failure to invite him to sneak while he was on the platform something in a worse cate gory than bad taste or just clumsy Those who were responsible for drawing up the program and inviting the mayor to the platform should have remembered that whoever the mayor of the town is the towns first representative Of Her Majesty Elizabeth By virtue of his mayor of the town Dr Craw ford Rose is Auroras first and official representative of the Crown Were any 1 personage to honor Aurora a visit in this yzzr of by virtue of his office would automatically be to assume the of that office both ancient and Were he to neglect to functions of his office other than inescapable of health he would subject him to degrees of that would to extremely unpleasantivV Sackcloth and Ashe The oversight to tar has been noted people who were present high school day night Sept nothing that can be done it now except that whoever was responsible for drawing program and failing to call on the representatives of Her Sla while he was on the iotm should wear sackcloth and for one day at least and then take a course in etiquette In such voluntary penance end search of absolution the de linquent or delinquents would be getting off lightly in compari son with penalties inflicted in olden times in England whence Canada derives so many of Its ceremonial procedures Simi lar lapses in those days would have meant either the pillory or Imprisonment for the offenders Other lapses occurred such as speaker who stood up and began by saying Premier Frost Mr Chairman ladies and gentle men Premier of Ontario as Mr Leslie Frost undoubtedly is he was not the chairman at the proceedings concerned and should not have been first ad dressed It was the chairmans prerogative le first address ed even if all the titled people fit the land had been on the platform The chairman of a meeting is In fact the chairman however lowly big station In life or his claim to wisdom it is unfor tunate that lapses disfigur ed an otherwise outstanding oc casion Brought Hack Turkeys Fry skip and his lead William Morris are enjoy Jug epicurean

OF OCTOBER NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTYTWO NOT FOR AURORA Two more hours were spent on further discussions on the zoning bylaw which has been darting in and out of council since the year 16 THezonitig bylaw ghost haunts the council chamben Lome Lee has tried on it ieturns to tease and tantalize members council It is a most In sober reflection two hours good hours wasted- for no progress was made towards its likelihood of irig passed by this council This is riot strange view of the fact that it is spicomplex in structure and so in its legal mind can grapple it By jo not suggest Jbat all legal minds could it vVtIanQ the intelligence of councillors who do not understand it It would be a reflection on the intelligence of any member of council who voted for it know or not it applicable for cities such as Kansas Chicago or Toronto But we dp that it is not icable or th js coin- It is out of line with a small town such as Auiora Dr requested that council do one thing or the other Pass it or throw itjduU It is our View that council should accept this challenge think that council should vote it arid throw it but- Put an end tc the thing once and for all This positive action would save both time and Its would soothe the nerves of irritated propertyowners Planning is But not planning that tick up a community for an indefinite number of years That is the essence of the proposed zoning bylaw which is bad in principle and would be worse in practice RESULT On June when the a vote of six to three decided to sign a contract with the North York Humane Society for the control of dogs during the sum- mer months it was anticipated that very successful re- suite come out of it That this not proved to be the case is not the fault of council i to remedy old at grievances on thenar of many Aurora people v-v- Year after year destruction and annoyance caused by dogs oil the loose had Who took pleasure iti their flower and vegetable gar dens To cure this more than irritating situation the council put teeth into a byJaw of good intentions but lacking in force The council approved a con- tract which in practice come up to For this failure council we is not to blame We heard all the arguments put forward on be half of contract by the representatives of the North York Humane Society Col Dana and Mrs Fielding when they came to council Those arguments were so convincing that us a member of council we would have had no hesitation in voting with the approving majority Editorial J we supported the contract do not regret that support or retract one word of it What we do say is that explanations should now be made by those who sponsored the contract and con vinced six out of nine members of council that it was a good proposition We support those members of coun cil who claim that Col and Mrs Fielding should come back and make the reasons clear why the contract has not fulfilled lis purpose They should be in a posi tion to give all the necessary answers Meanwhile our sympathies are with those members of council who gave support for the contract They did their best in a good purpose and the disappointing result is no fault of theirs TOO MUCH FAMILIARITY An article written by editor of an tiding Canadian weekly interested ft dealt with the question of whether or not the editor of a weekly should accept membership in local community clubs or he content with occasional them as a guest if ami when Jib wore invited to do so He argued in favor of thp latter course The gist of- the arguments in the article was an in- sistenco on the duty of an itor lo remain impartial independent at all times He should remain outside the 1 fact ions the writer assorted I ought to become a joinerV If he so ifte judgments likely to- influenced by thus his and judgment was conflow reading of sode to have occurred between Montgom ery and Mr Winston Churchill during a military foreftep war gojnejy said he lit too much To familiarity nothing There Is an old saying that too much familiarity greeds is wo think alia matter of bal ance and sense of proportion He is indeed a poor man who cannot maintain friendly terms with his neighbors and at the same time express opinions they may not always Progress itself is result of differences of opinion COUNCIL REPORT Among correspondence was was as much to as the a letter from Mr George Wilkin- Arena board said the deputy- son
