The Punishers
Evidently East Stanleyites are intent on puni-
shing Bayfield and West Stanley in the spirit of
bitterness still simmering from the re-incoreor-
ation of Bayfield.Chairman John Taylor of the St-
anley Township Area School Board Tuesday night
bulldozed his way through what might have been a
regular meeting of the board had not about 14
residents from Bayfield attended.It was a spec-
ial meeting in several respects. 'fir. Taylor ann-
ounced that he had telephone communication from
the Department of Education that Bayfield could
keep its two 'room school, turn over the $ 24,000
debenture debt to the area board, then pay its
share of the total debenturing for the new 16-r-
oom school at Brucefield, plus bus costs which
will not be used here.Discussion from the floor
was choked off. The chairman had "heard it all be-
fore". Another case of don't bore me with the
facts, my mind's all ready made up.
If 900 signatures on a petition are not ”worth
the paper they're written onu,one pauses to won-
der what the space occupied by Mr. Taylor's name
on an election ballot will be worth ?
Year 'Round Village
This year,more than in many long years past,the
Village of Bayfield is becoming truly a ”year
'round villager' in terms of both business and perm-
anent population.
New all-weather homes added to the village in
the past several years, plus two inns and more bus-
inesses staying open all winter, will give the
village a little more of the vigor it needs.Bay-
field is indeed a famous little summer village, but
it getting to have plenty of muscle in the winter
too.

In Czechoslovakia, 105 pro-
fessional theater companies
give a total of 27,000 perfor-
mances a year, 2,500 of them
operas.
Two tobacco farmers in the southern
part of the province have been ordered
to destroy valuable tobacco crops, pre-
sumably their chief means of livelihood.
The ruling was not handed down because
the crops are infected with sohie disease
which would injure the products of
other growers; not because there is any-
thing wrong with the product of their
land — but simply because they did not
secure licenses to plant the crops in the
first place.
Their name would indicate that these
two farmers came from some spot in
Europe, possibly a place from which
Canada appeared the land of freedom
and opportunity. How mistaken they
were!
The license situation exists because
tobacco farmers discovered that by
grouping together and asking for mar-
keting legislation they would be able
to control the amount of tobacco acreage
each year and so control the price of
their crop.
Though we have every sympathy for
the plight of any farmer who faces the
disaster of too-low prices, we have a
serious quarrel with the remedy for the
problem which ignores basic rights and
freedoms. By their own efforts the
tobacco growers involved in this case
paid for their land, their seed and their
implements. Surely we have forgotten
why our ancestors came to Canada if we
feel it is fair to dictate the limit of a
man's efforts, no matter what the con-
sequences. There must be a better way
to improve the tobacco growers' plight.
There is a second element of gross
injustice involved. If any two merchaqts
on the main street of this town got to-
gether and agreed on fixed selling price;
for their wares they might well find
themselves in court. Only a few years
back the paper wholesalers in Canada
paid fines up to $20,000 per company
because there was some evidence that
they agreed on a common scale of prices.
The idea behind this legislation is
that the consumer ceases to benefit from
the protection of competitive selling if a
combine is formed. In the tobacco busi-
ness, however, the producers are pro-
tected by law in a price-fixing combine
which employs not merely previously-
agreed selling prices, but legally approv-
ed limitations on production which
eliminate any possibility of lower prices
by keeping supplies short.
The agricultural industry needs the
sympathetic assistance of every other
section of the economy to maintain its
independence — but we seriously ques-
tion the methods which are presently
employed. Wingham Advance-Times,
Letters
Dear Sir:
A host of Canadians consider
it improper to expose their
children to a nude person! Many
children have never seen their
parents in the nude. Of course
it is improper! At least, so
many claim. Sex and sin seem
to be close together in people's
minds.
Time after time I make the
amazing discovery that the
same parents, teachers, minis-
ters, etc. , are totally uncon-
cerned when it comes to expos-
ing the children to the filthiest
and most provocative sex illus-
trations on books. Recently I
visited a book store that sells
school supplies. I found, side
by side with children's books,
novels and picture magazines
bearing vividly illustrated sug-
gestive stories. By no means is
this store an isolated case, and
I do not wish to discriminate
against any individual store.
All over the country you may
walk into the same situation.
The storekeepers, in most cases
are well respected, conscien-
tious citizens and many of
them go to churches that would
condemn nudism of any kind.
It seems that a different code
of morals is applied when it
concerns businens. The good
citizens are either totally un-
aware of their children being
exposed to this or they con-
veniently overlook it.
In sharp contrast I found tha.
three masterpieces of art were
bashfully put away at a recent
art exhibition. The reason was
not to offend or embarrass the
children that might view these
well-painted, and in my opin-
ion, completely harmless nude
figures.
Normally children take
things like this with indiffer-
ence, at least until some adult
creates a fuss or draws attention
to the matter.
The question arises time and
again why all the bashful-
ness in cases of nude models in
art classes or in the case of a
mother hiding from her three-
year-old, a brother being very
concerned about covering him-
self in front of his sister, while
the same people have nothing
to say about the covers of books
and inside certain magazines
that are obviously turned toward
sex in its lowest form?
