The coroner's jury recommended that We should have better ambulance service in Clinton. I was very much sUrpriSed to see that no mention Of this reCoMtriendation WAS made at the council meeting, or by any other eitheris, ft would appear that no one is interested — perhaps because the young men who lost their lives were not from our area; therefore we need not be eoneerned.. ' However; I feel that we should at least try to seek ai solution to this problem. I realize the difficulty involved in getting an •ambulanc . iii our town, but we Will nevet, solve this serious situation ignoring it.

The countless billions already spent on their moon programs by the United States and the Soviet Union cannot be recouped. In the view of many, the vast sums expanded by the two super-powerson the race to the moon have been wasted — to the detriment of foreign aid programs and national development schemes. For while a few men' chase after the stars, most of humanity must still live in the mud of poverty and in misery, upon an earth where any genuine attempt to Share wealth equally it still scoffed at as unrealistic by most gOvernments and P°Iitidal leaders. Professor Gerhard Martius, chief gynaecologist at West Berlin's Martin Luther Hospital, told an international congress recently that two of every three people in the world already are suffering• from malnutrition. He says if mankind keeps multiplying at the present rate, Ontario has now made a useful start in ensuring that the used motor vehicles which ply our roads are mechanically fit. But much remains to be done. On November 1, it became necessary for dealers to provide a certificate of roadworthiness for every used vehicle they sell. Those who buy used vehicles privately have to produce • a safety certificate in order to register the change of ownership. Without doubt, the new regulations will improve the safety performance of the 800,000 vehicles khat change hands in Ontario each year. But the regulations do not cover the safety standard of used cars that do not change hands. Inspection of traded vehicles will still leave. Ontario roads crawling with • "Now that the problems connected with maintaining a sound external financial 'position have eased it is possible to concentrate once again on our other economic problems." -"I am afraid that none of them has gone away. Prices and costs are still rising too rapidly despite the emergence of considerable unemployment and unused capacity. The growth of the economy has been well within our potential for more than two years but so long as the strong upward trend in prices and costs continues, there are real risks in taking steps to accelerate the expansion of total spending in the economy, "Our recent trade ,performance has demonstrated that Canada is still competitive internationally but it is also true that our recent exchange problems have shown how important it is to avoid any undermining of confidence by a further extended period of poor cost and price performance, "It is plain that 'in addition to following there will be six billion•People 'by the year ?060, Man always has been an adventurer, a, discoverer of new frOnt:efS.Ancl therefore: our probings into ,,are understandable, despite t64'.,urif9rOrlate! stress on the military ,aSpeCtS• of space research.
