land that gave me birth John Oxenham from the hymn book of the Church of England in Canada THE TROUBLES NOT OVER YET Rewards for last weeks survey of traffic condi tions on Main St have been paid we think in full Several comments all approving have come our way one reader even called to say It wasnt strong enough We noted with satisfaction the arrest of a New market youth Wednesday night for careless driving and improper registration The youth got what he deserved a heavy fine and six months suspension of his drivers But further action is still Urgently needed An editorial in last weeks Tribune gives grim warning of the trouble this problem can bring if firm steps are not taken We reprint it here in part for the benefit of Newmarket readers and town officials Weve all heard about teenage gang wars They are widely publicized on the movie market They score front page headlines in big papers We all read about them and talk about them but never expect to see them On Sunday evening last week local residents in and came very close to obtaining a ringside seat to such an affair Only the intervention of local and Ontario Provincial Police discouraged any disgraceful The majority of these youths are cowardly charac ters when alone They find strength in numbers how ever and can create much havoc within a short space of time As the population of an evergrowing Metro politan Toronto continues to expand we will be influ enced to a certain extent by its customs both good and bad We have had a taste of the latter and may not have sampled the last DEATH BY SUFFOCATION Most parents know and wain their children accord ingly of the hazards of highways and waterways espe cially during summer The fact that some do not or that many children ignore precautions given is because the

of Hut like the this sort begin at home Officials of the Canadian Electrical Manufacturers Association have taken it upon themselves to show homeowners how one of the most tragic these situa tions can exist in their own homes or in nearby public property where their children are wont to play They have also taken upon themselves to plan an effective and valuable campaign for eliminating the deathtrap Elsewhere In this newspaper is a story based on a report from the on the fatalities caused by carelessly and freezing units It also contains three rules for making these objects safe It is easy to see how any child might think an empty refrigerator wonderful sport for his imaginary explora tions It is up to parents to make sure the sport does not turn to tragedy We urge parents then to follow the simple rules prepared as a public service by the Dont let your child be next victim trapped behind a heavy sealed door I WATER WATER EVERYWHERE It seems Newmarket people aie from lime Mine id become outcasts The cause is one from which Canadian manufacturers make millions when delicately crying unpleasant odor they rush lo the rescue with their oneminute wonder cures for these misdemeanors of Nature Unfortunately no one has manufactured a deodor ant for Newmarket water although judging from com plaints a little initiative could retire the inventor com- for life When a local housewife called us last week to report that the glass of water she had just poured contained a quarter of an inch of black slime she also told us she hail to perfume her wash water to keep clothes from smelling and was unable serve ten to visitors because both the odor and the taste were so bad The water is unpalatable but not unsanitary says the York County Health Unit and from town council comes the verdict that removal of the iron bacteria would cost about a quarter of a million dollars and re novation of the whole water system about half a million Meanwhile housewives spend money on stained and ruined clothes private citizens install wells to get pure water and entire families hold their noses at tea time At the beginning of last month the water rates were doubled in order so officials claimed lo make the necessary Improvements We hope this will give them the financial means lo do so It seems to us it will be money well spent After all cleanliness is next to Godliness and some how a bath in black slime even if it is only harmless old iron bacteria doesnt come quite as close to Godli ness as it should EGGHEADS WITH EGO With the triumphal tour of the Queen and Prince Philip just aboul over in these parts the press and radio will again play up ad nauseum the farce being staged at Ottawa by personnel We feel that a great pub lic service has been lendeied misguided employ ees in that have focused public attention upon this governmental department We only hope that they wont make Ernest Busline the fall guy for the mis management of the Corporation He simply inherited a mess one which his predecessor had foreseen Mr sought the security of the Ivy Halls leaving Messrs Otiimet and lo deaj with the unruly rebels in the making The Toronto Globe anil Mail the only daily paper published hereabouts which maintains the dignity of the Press had this to say This weeks upheaval like the ones that went before it was only a symptom of an underlying and deepsealed disease The name or the disease is monopoly it is ironic that the producers resigned in Ihe name of freedom and independence thai a substantial number of Canadians prominent and otherwise sup ported them in Ihe name of freedom and independence I hat with the return of Preview Commentary freedom and independence are alleged to have been saved When a large area of mass communications is under Govern ment control where does freedom enter the picture How docs independence fit in with a Staleowned broad casting system which has a complete monopoly of radio and television networks and in the six biggest cities of Canada harboring onethird of Canadas popula tion has a complete monopoly of television outlets Who in this situation is free Who is independent The time is long past to end this arrogant mono poly There is a cultural job a big and honorable one f the CBO to do in Canada Let it be restricted to doing this job and given the money the job realty requires so much per capita per year For the rest let private enterprise take over In the competition of private stations and private networks with each other and with the CBC itself the Canadian people will have what they are now denied freedom and independ ence lo make a choice The Financial Post dealt with the subject of staff as follows management has been given a great deal of freedom to create the programs most likely lo perform the networks basic purposes in the pro cess it has built up a staff of bright young men and women plus some nuts as in most big organizations As broadcasting is essentially a creative activity the staff has been drawn from people able to generate ideas and exploit them This staff too has had a remark ably generous degree of freedom for individual expres sion If these bright young men and women interpret freedom to mean that each and every one of Ihem has the individual and personal right to use the national broadcasting facilities to air personal views and wage personal wars on public questions then they are far off There is not a broadcasting system In the world publicly owned or privately owned where such a condi tion prevails There is not a newspaper in Ihe country where every writer on Ihe staff enjoys Ihe unlimited right to write what he likes on any subject For that Parliament that permits every private member to vole as he likes and sound off with maverick opinions on every question that comes up The staff are employees hired to carry out Ihe instructions of senior management who are entrusted with the responsibility for operations On the evi dence so far the rebels seem to be indistinguishable from the exuberant juvenilis who do in the I id pi The is the riant the master guarantee tnriiifei on their ami national it is t the functio rtchon of those act
