HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1968-07-25, Page 2How 'would you like someone to use
your front lawn to dump empty bottles,
cans, paper cups, tissue and other refuse?
This is being done every day over
thousands of miles of Ontario's resort and
vacation land by "couldn't care less"
motorists and their families who trust the
great outdoors as their great dumping
ground.
It isn't. It isn't, anyone's dumping
ground. Keeping our resort land Clean and
tidy is just as important as keeping our
own property that way.
Department of Highways maintenance
crews are at work every day cleaning up
the mess left behind on Ontario's 13,000
miles of highways and in the departments
more than 1,700 roadside picnic areas.
This bill alone adds up to about
$750,000 a year -- and the cost is rising
rapidly.
In an effort to reduce this unnecessary
and unproductive expenditure of tax
payers' dollars, and improve the
appearance of our _countryside, the
department has launched •a highways
anti-litter campaign.
It is asking everyone to, help.
EVERYONE.
Dad can help by not throwing, his
empty cigarette pack out of the car
window.
Moth can help see that he doesn't.
Junior can keep quiet about the whole
thing and just make sure HIS (or HER)
rubbish goes into the litter bag.
Simple isn't it!

A rock can be found thriving in a forest
Apart
isolated from its natural glade
and can survive —
But parasitically
Until thrust'on Icarian wings it
Pierces atmospheric shield of haze
Tossed midst sky and sea
It lands
And lives in rrlosai0 peace.

2 Clinton NeWS—RacOrd, Thursday,. July 25, 1905,
A step
in the right direction
On Monday Canada became the 57th
Country to sign a treaty on the
non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. The
treaty prevents Canada from making or
acquiring nuclear weapons.
External Affairs Minister Sharp
termed the opening of the treaty for
signatures flan important milestone in the
history of arms control, and disarmament
negotiations."
It is. And it is marvelous that Canada
is among .the member nations who will
attempt to bring an end to the nuclear
arms race and work out a treaty for
general disarmament under international
control.
But it seems rather strange that
Canada should sign such a treaty when she
doesn't seem to be able to control gun
laws and restrictions within her own
borders,
• Of course, the non-proliferation treaty
involves safety of the country as a whole,
and is necessary to ensure our security as
a nation.
But further steps must be taken to
protect individual people within the
country against sick or disturbed persons
who so often take out their frustrations
and hatred with a firearm.
Perhaps this action on an international
problem will provide a spur to Canadian
politicians to take further action on the
serious issue of gun control within the
country.

An interesting and rather
frightening manifestation of
the times is the rapidly in.
creasing popularity of the con-
cept of POWER. Among the
millions of words with which
we are constantly bombarded
by the mass media, that one
pops up with alarming fre-
quency.
There's nothing wrong with
the word itself. It's not a dirty
word. We don't get alarmed
when we think of such terms
as power plant, power boat,
power drill, power of attorney,
or hockey's power play.
We aren't spooked when we
think of mental power or phys-
ical power or spiritual power.
The word merely denotes
strength,
But in the way it is used so
often these days, it has more
sinister connotations. It has
undertones of hatred and
senseless rebellion. It suggests
smashing somebody or some-
thing.
We have been carefully ac-
climatized. We have accepted,
because of timidity or indiffer-
ence, the ideas of air power
and union power and political
power and lobby power.
And now • we have Black
Power and Student Power,
both of them with built-in pro-
vocations to violence and bru-
tality, The only one that seems
fairly harmless is Viewer Pow-
er, but even this is associated
with drugs, sexual promiscuity
arid anarchy.
It's fairly obvious that I
can't turn thit pernicious tide
of power by writing a column
about it. But all you readers
might remember once in a
while that every new power
group chisels away at your per-
sonal freedom as an individual,
and also at the ideals Of peace
and brotherhood Or the world.
Now, after that little set-
Mon, I'm going to reverse my
stand and conic out strong for
another power group. It's net a
new one, but it't so feeble that
it needs artificial respitatiOn
and intravenous feeding., I'M
talking about Parent Power.

recall. Your parents told you
to do something, and in most
cases you did it. If you didn't,
you suffered the consequences.
TheSe ranged from being sent
to bed without supper to a
good licking.
If your old man caught you
smoking at a tender age, he'd
whale the tar out of you. If you
came in too late from a dance,
even though you were a young
lady of 17, you might get a
lusty application of the hair-
brush to the lower posterior.
If you got a strapping at
school, you didn't mention it at
home, because you'd likely get
another one there. If you
flunked because you didn't
work, you were invited to get
out and get a job.
This was Parent Power,'
Mpybe it sounds sadistic, ,in
this permissive age, but it
wasn't. Parents loved their
children then, too, and tried to
direct them toward their own
good. Many a clout on the ear
or whack on the tail I got, and
deserved every one of their,
and loved my parents deeply.
Today, Parent Bawer is on
the verge of extinction, unless
we can figure out something
new in a hurry.
Oh, we still have a certain
authority when they're little.
