.Vithy Delay Development
Of Scenic Park At River?
• Another summer Ls rolling by and
still there has been no action toward,
development of the river area east of
the highway. -
This project has been hanging fire
or at least three years. Council pro-
Inised to beautify the area and create
a scenic park between the dam and
bridge after the Ausable Authority
dredged the pond.
A plan for development •of the
area was furnished, free qf charge, by
211 expert from OAC Guelph. That plan
Is still on council's file.
Council has little excuse to delay
this project any longer. Funds are
available this year for work on the
area, arid in all probability, support

it is done imaginatively—can produce
a scenic spot envied by other muni-

Milkman's Case
(St. Marys Journal -Argus)
• The Case of the Curious Milkman
Iria.y be said to have begun in Winni
pegjust 10 years ago this month with
the, man in question losing his job.
He lost it, not because his employ-
ers were in any way dissatisfied with
him (quite the contrary), but because
he had fallen foul of a handful of his
fellow unionists. It wasn't that he
didn't pay dues or otherwise exhibited
disinterest in the affairs of the union;
the trouble was that he was too in-
terested.
He wanted to know what happen-
ed to union dues (this was in 194.7—
and his was •a Teamsters' Local) and
he was critical, at Local meetings, of
sloppy administration on the part of
the officials. Clearly, .he was a tire-.
some individual, and something had to
be done about him. So the executive
committee of the Local "suspended"
him.
It then advised the company—
"ordered" might be a better word—
that the recalcitrant member could no
longer be employed since the Local
had a union shop agreement which re-
quired that all company employees
must be union members "in good
standing."
• Unfortunately for the executive,
the milkman fought back; the members
of the Local gave him their backing
and refused to ratify the "suspension"
decision. But he remained "suspend-
.ed"—and out of his jOb. So he fought
back some more. He sued both the
executive committee and the Local for
•damages in the provincial courts. And.
the courts, in due time upheld him,
declaring the suspension to have been
. without authority and therefore null
and. void.
He was further declared to have
been the victim of civil wrong on the
part of the defendants, and he was
•duly awarded damages to the tune of
$5„000.
By now the case had 'assumed the
character of a veritable David and
Goliath battle: the milkman versus the
Mighty International Brotherhood (?)
of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehouse-
- men & Helpers of America. This was
rebellion that had to be fought right
down the line, lest it be followed by
others. The defendant 8 appealed.
Eventually,- the case reached the
Supreme Court of Canada. Its decision,
lately . handed down: endorsement of
the lower court's judgement, together
With some bliatering comment about
"the -eorrtiptions of power," "the de-
n -landing of unquestioning loyalty,"
and the "domination of strong person-
alities,"
The Milkman hads, won. It had
taken him 10 years but he'd 'Won. And
it is a win for free men everywhere,
Who must ever cherish and maintain
their fundamental liberties, seeking
redress from injustice even unto the
highest deurt in the land.
from hundreds .of other small towns
in the province.
Advantages
Despite its unfavorable position at
the moment, farming does have advan-
tages over other occupations; points out
the Bowmanville Canadian Statesman,
which says:
The advantages the city worker
has over the farmer are more apparent
than real. He gets more cash and he
gets it oftener than the. farmer, but
he spends it more easily and on things
of less lasting value than a farm.
And at the end of his active career,
he seldom has more than a pension to
depend on, while the farmer has a
property which has steadily increased
in value through the years. The money
he didn't spend has gone into his farm
and is still his.
In asking so many things of the
Government, the farmers are asking
to be relieved of the risks inherent in
their business. But those who take the
risks also take control and the farmer
who gets out from under the risks
also loses control of his business.
Instead of asking for parity prices
and all the devices and controls that
go with' them the farmers should ask
for a taxation system that would Allow
them to build uptheir own reserves
as insurance against the .risks, they
have to run.
To do this they have to take the
risks inherent in the business and
make what provision they can against
them.
Litter
(Acton Free Press)
At this time of year the amount
of trash and litter that blows around,
the itreets is astounding and becomes
more than an irritation to those re-
sponsible for efforts to keep the
thoroughfares of the town in some de."
gree of tidiness. Goodness knows the
dust problem is bad enough without
hiving the eyesore of fluttering papers
and scattered bits of card and boxes
everywhere.
A question as to where all this
stuff comes from is a fair and logical
one and one 'to which there is only
one answer. People are just careless.
Actually there is ne reason at all for
even one bit of paper being blown
around. Every piece in some manner
must have been releaged outside,
either when thrown out with garbage
or tossed into the street in such forms
as cigarette or candy boxes.
If everyone were truly tidy -con-
scious there would be no paper litter.
Maybe those who throw cigarette
boxes on the street (for example) act
in the same way at home by throwing
them on the floor, but we doubt it. We
cannot imagine anyone like that just
the same as' we cannot imagine anyone
thinkingly throwing paper of any kind
away outside, yet it is done, regularly
and prolifically.
It is said: that there are now too
many laws and regulations overriding
the peoples of the world.
Laws are only necessary when
people neglect to carry out their re-
sponsibilities fairly and honestly. They
are necessary to force people to live
up to their responsibilities in relation-
ship with others and their communi-
ties.
There is a challenge in connection:
with this litter business within this
town—a challenge tb everyone whether
a householder or only temporary reSi-
dent occupying only a room, A eon-
tinuation of this paper -discarding habit
could well call for the enforeement of
fines.
But, that is all so unnecessary, un-
pleasant and unfriendly. The cure is
entirely in the. hands of the people
themselves who could quickly correct
the presence of untidiness by refrain-
ing to throw away or place papers
- where swinds, can reach them.
