ALL IS QUIET
With fingers and everything else crossed,we wait
some word from the Ontario Department of Education
regarding the future of Bayfieldts school.The com-
mon sense proposal that the modern local tiro-room
school be enlarged to give needed facilities to
the pupils of Bayfield and West Stanley stands on
its own feet. It makes sense geographically, econ-
omically and every other way.
It seems to us that a school area should be
formed to include Bayfield and West Stanley,and
a board elected to govern it. There is nothing
wrong with the proposal of the "Save Our School"
Committee, and if assent to it is not forthcoming
soon, there is something seriously wrong with
democracy, Department of Education style.
Welcome to Town
It was a distinct pleasure to meet a lot of
newcomers to Bayfield during the past week or so,
and to hear then praise the village and the acc-
ommodation it offers vacationers.
Some favorable publicity for Bayfield appeared
on the women's page of The Detroit Free Press t17o
weeks ago, and people from Detroit and nearby
centres promptly responded by taking the two-and-
a half hour drive to our fair place.
People who live in large cities delight in the
charm of a village such as this, and enjoy what
to them is the calm of the countryside. One man
remarked: "Boy, is it ever quiet here I"
He was standing just a block away from Highway
21 where the traffic was humming along on one of
the busiest days of the summer season. To him the
calm of Louisa Street was a pure blessing.
The Detroiters we met were friendly, affable
folk, appreciative of the things we too admire
about Bayfield. We hope they come again, often,
and bring their friends.
EDITORIAL BRIEFS
We cannot help but have a few misgivings about
the :coming popularity of the light motorbikes one
sees 'round and about these days. Lost of their
drivers seem extremely young and inexperienced in
traffic, and appear to be riding to a fall. On the
whole, while tyros in traffic, they are young and
eager, and for our money, a big cut above the older
leather jackets who have been. watching to much TV.

COURSE ON
AT U OF W
An evening course for peo-
ple interested in municipal gov-
ernment will be held this fall at
the University of Waterloo, in
co-operation with the Depart-
ment of University Extension.
Designed for the average
citizen who wants to know more
about the operations of a local
council, it has been organized
by a group of local citizens
headed by Mrs. H. J. Schneider
of R. R. 1, Preston. Elected
and appointed officials of sever-
al Waterloo County municipali-
ties are on the committee.
Among the speakers are
Charlotte Whitton, former may-
or of Ottawa, and W. H. Pal-
mer, deputy minister of muni-
cipal affairs.
The course, one of the few
to be held in Ontario, has been
endorsed and supported by may-
ors and the warden of Waterloo
County.
Topics include municipal
financing, schools, planning
what a council can and can not
do, city manager and boards of
control, regional government
and the role of the citizen.
The course starts September
29 and will be held each Wed-
nesday evening until November
17. Each session will last two
hours and will include a ques-
tion and discussion period.
"There is a growing interest
in local civic affairs," said Mrs.
Schneider in announcing the
course. "We think this course
will fill a long-felt need and
help the voter learn more about
how his local council, planning
board or school board operates.
"It will help people who may
be considering running for pub-
lic office in the coming Decem-
ber elections, as well as prove
useful to those who already hold
office.

Every passing week sees an increase in
the number of motor accidents, the total
of deaths and personal injuries. It is even
possible that car drivers are becoming a
little more cautious, but the increasing
number of vehicles on the roads is multi-
plying the opportunities for accidents to
happen.
With the advent of light motor cycles
and small motorized bicycles the accident
statistics are in the course of another
sharp jump.
The older-type, full-sized motorcycle
was hazardous enough, but at least it
travelled the highways at speeds equal to
and some times faster than the prevailing
rate of traffic. The new, light machines

are usually incapable of speeds of 60
miles an hour, and so the added hazard of
traffic bottlenecks is taking shape.
These small vehicles are hard to see in
unfavorable light conditions. They are
easily obscured by cars in front of or be-
hind them. Already the newspapers are
carrying frequent accounts of deaths and
injuries to motor bike riders.
If you own one of these small ma-
chines bear in mind that you must be
more than ordinarily cautious if you want
to stay alive. If you own and drive a car
you will have to train yourself to be alert
for the bikes. They can crop up in the
most unexpected way.

She said the course will not
deal with specific local issues
but is designed to show how any
council operates, how it works
with the provincial government
and other agencies, boards and
commissions, and how local
government is changing. A
panel of local people will dis-
cuss the citizen's role at the
final session.
