Sunday Skating, •: asubject of some
concern by rnany,when it commenced'. some
time ago; has: proven itself . in our minds.
Actually, as, far as we were concerned, there.
was' never' . any question about the ' advis- ,
ability of • skatid4 on the Sabbath, s0: long ,
as it was properly. ; supervised. Some felt
it was- no. t in keeping with their religious
beliefs and we res ect their' opinions: in ,

Skating is -a healthful, pleasant; . past.'
tme ' and Sunday afternoon at. the local
arena:: has afforded . many the 'Opportunity
of ' skating in leisure time which does ' not
seem to be available to some at Any ,other
•
time of the week. Sunday skating has been
well supervised, it ; is orderly and'its�,critics
Could, find very little offensive about it It
can be, and has been a timethat families.
can • skate toK ether.:
We could say the same good things
about Sunday curling' and the -numerous,
other sports and recreational' outings' that
P
take place on this day. : Sunday is a family
day and we' feel . that .tokeep. it 'as' such,
families require ' thin to do and see to-
gether.things ' ,
But, let us not . forget the foremost and
f g
original intent of : the seventh ; day a day
of rest and. a .time for devotion.
We'll Take. The Thief.
The 'recent . remarks of :a Kitchener
magistrate who was critical of the , criminal
stigma :attachedto the .drinking driver, were
to us somewhat amazing
His views appear to be tliat the im-
paired ' driver should not be charged, •under
the Criminal Code, ';but as anoffence ung
der the,. Highways Traffic "Act , The public
doesn't attach the same stigma to the im-
paired driver, that it does : to the thief, he
,said, and added that "the day may come
when :.,we 'will re-examine: , the moral as-
pects of drinking and. driving."
The , ' sophistication • of "impaired"
doesn't enhance the prestige: of the drunk
driver, and. it doesn't remove the criminal;
threat. that ..he represents when he 'takes to.
the highway:
Apparently the Kitchener magistrate
and ::the Bruce County magistrate aren't in
agreenient onthe status of the impaired
driver. In passing sentence recently • in
Walkerton, Magistrate McClevis said: "Im-
paired drivers are : some of the -most dan'
gerd'us criminals ' we have• If they only
threatened their own 'lives or killed' them
selves,it would ` not be .so bad.;. Instead,: it.
is very often some innocent men, women
and children who meet ;death,;, merely 'be
cause . such a person ' cannot leave drink
alone even when he drives." '
Personally, we will take the thief. 'He
who steals my 'purse steals trash. The .'in-
ebriated motorist who takes to the highway
is .a potential' killer, : andby his actions can
rob. a home of a loved one — or even • wipe
out .a family In our . opinion it's a criminal
act and inexcusable."
Housing isA: L;OC'ai' N�ed
In recent years 1. ucknow has `made
markable and commendable strides in mun-
icipal, improvements ' and modernization.
There has been industrial progress and ex-
parision and •in the commercial life of the
village,' Merchants have kept , pace with
modern 'merchandising methods .and the as-
sociated store. front renovations give .us a
main street and a village, in general, of
which ,we can be 'justly proud.
But , there is .a lack 'of modern, 't 'com-
fortable
fortable housing •accoYnodaton of the fam-
ily home type. As a result we are losing
' potential ,residents who seek to' buy here,
as, well as those' people who might be' en-
' . ticed here in such acconiodation was avail'-
able.•
, ;. The construction of new homes does ,
not seem ' to have been in relative .propos-
tion __to other advancements. Why we'Tdo •
not know.

•
A year x or so ago, .Twin Pines senior
citizens apartment plan..was' explained at a
Lions Club `sheeting, but the plan 'never
progressed to as much as.a discussion stage,
in spite .of the fact' that it seemed to, have.
considerable merit.
• Such, an apartment building, provides
low rental, self contained quarters, with jam—
, itor' 'service• to eliminatethe responsibilities
associated with '.maintaining one's own do-
• Y iti
rnrcile, and s rather amazing the number:.
Of village residents who live alone;
There, may be those: who' would wel-
ebme'this +apartment, idea, 'The Twin fines,
protect would ..require assessing .the interest
in such a housing scheme, If the' twelve -unit.
building was feasible it would make avail-
able
a number of homes in the village,' which
•
•
•
would :be readily saleable or'rentable.,.
Housing, it seems, is something which,
requires.. consideration. at •an 'early date• in
Lucknow to, keep. step with the general pro-
gressiveness of the community.
THE.,GIVE -AND - TAKE MANIA
The end, of March the next instalment
of the Federal . sales tax •is applied to build;
ing material and . production machinery.
This. :sliding scale appeasement policy • 'was
adopted last' year when opposition to, • the
newimpost reached pressure . proportion
Next month's levy brings • the •tax to 8
and by, the .year's .end it thrill be'• 1 I %. As
a • simple example of what this means we
cite ''our own case. This : 1,1 % tax will gap•-
ply on machinery 'which producesrintin ,
g
The product_ Which.:it produces . is then. sub.
ject.:to 1 1 % Federal sales tax' and on •'top.
of this '(and 'including it) 3% ' Provincial
sales tax and when• the heat is off at
Queen's Park it is. generally 'expected that
this will go up to four or/five percent.
Is it anyWonder that : a large segment of
'
the population the little business man in
particular — is fed uPo with the discrimin-
ation. of. the give-and-take policies of ben
evolentand tax hungry governments.

Spring is just around the corner, and
this ' is the season of the year when the an-
nual campaign in aid of . Ontario's crippled,
children is launched. it's springtime any-
time in the life of 'a • crippled child, when
Your gifts' help' to rehabilitate 'thein or bring
