'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.

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?
