The ,deliberatitaus of our courts have arrays

'et what legitimate •excuse can there be for

Most, adverr$e1y the settlement of claims over the
accident hi which Harold Finlay, RR 2 Zurich,
and members of his family were involved?
Elsewhere in this issue, The T -A notes it is
,otv almost three years since the accident hap-
pened. The case has gone through the high .and
appeal courts of the province and is not•• before the
Supreme Court of Canada. It has been delayed on
-y;:.rrious occasions at various levels. it is still being
postponed. Depending on the outcome of the ]rem g: may Sup-
e Court hearing, it be delayed several
more years.
Surely our system of justice can provide for
rti
soe expedition in such a ease. Surely. without
prejudicing the outcome, it can enforce some dear!-
.lines in the interests of the individuals suffering
over the delay.,
The. Finlay family has suffered extreme
hardship 'because of its misfortune; it is now suf,
fr}ring further hardship because of the slowness
bf the judicial. process. Must our courts inflict such
injustice in the process of providing justice?
.When 1 whine
The other day upon a bus,
I saw a girl with golden hair:
I envied her — she looked so- gay —
And wrist -ed I were so fair.
Then suddenly she rose to leave,
I watched her hobble down the aisle;
She had but one leg, bore a crutch,
And. as she passed.— a smile,
Oh God, forgive me when I Whine —
have two legs, the world is mine!
Later I paused to buy some sweets,
The lad who sold them had such charm
I stayed to talk with him: a while;
If I were late, 'twould be no .harm,'
Then as I turned to leave, .he said,
"Thank you, you have been so kind;
I like to talk with folks like you —
You see, I'm blind."
Oh God, forgive me when I whine --
I have two eyes, the world is mine!
Still later passing down the street,
I saw a child with eyes of blue;
He stood and watched the others play,
It seemed he knew not_ what to do,
I stood a while, and. then. I said, •
"Why don't you join the others, dear?"
He looked ahead without a word,
And then'I knew he could riot hear.
Oh God, forgive me when I whine —
I have two ears, the world is mine!
Two legs to take me where I'd go,
Two eyes to see the sunset's glow:
Two ears to hear what I would know:
Oh God, forgive me when I whine --
I'm blessed indeed; the world is mine.

Da you know what we're

getting to be a nationof child -
worshippers. And personally,
t'm becoming a bit nauseated
by the whole perverted busi-
ness.
VWrhen the ancient Hebrews
began feeling their oats, they
built themselves a goldencalf,
end you know what happened
then. We're in the process .of
building ourselves a golden
kid, and we'll deserve every -

With sheer horror at the idola-

other day, 7 read in the paper
Some remarks by a professor
of ,Psychology at the University
of ;lfentreal. He claimed that
disturbed. child becomes de-
liri>1,uent because he is con-
vihced he is meant to be.
The professor said: "For in -
•stance, a child is sehf on bn
:eteeand with the admonition to
rine hick the change, There's
an insinuation there that the
worst is expected of him.
Slowly he builds up this image
of himself, and accepts him-
self as the black sheep of the
family." From there, apparent-
ly, it is only a .hop, step and
switch -blade knife to a crimin-
al gang.
.Now, isn't that the damned-
est poppycock you've ever

warned to bring hack the

you do when you give him •a
dollar, and youtell hint at

you' let him outthe doer, I'd
rather have a kid come home
with the change, and feel like
a black sheep, than come
with six eomic hooks and new
proof that the old mane is an
easy mark.
It used to be. that . when a
child was a mean little. beast
that nobody, including his 'pa-

Fortunate towns
A nurnber of communities in this area have been
receiving, without cost, a built-in benefit from their
water systems. The content of their water includes
sufficient incidence of fluoride to provide signifi.
cant protection .against tooth decay.
The recent report of the Ontario committee
it vostigatirrg fluoridation concluded positively that
al proximately one part per million of fluoride
"strikingly reduces the incidence of dental caries".
Area municipalities whose water contains
approsi.makely that amount of fluoride include Zurr,
Mt 12.22 parts!, li.ensalt (1,11, Parkhill (1.6), Mitchell
(1.61, Seaforth (0.S and 1,2 from separate wells),
Clinton (0.6 and 1.0).
The committee's report indicates this ,gene-
is not a minor one. Members unanimously l'e.
ported: "We are convinced that the incidence of
dental caries in Ontario is of such magnitude that
it must be regarded both :as a serious And as a
major public health problem",.
The committee recognized solution to this
problem was beyond the resources of the dental
profession, the institution of a good oral hygienic
program or the developwent of proper nutrition.
It found. In effect, that fluoridation is the
only practical attack on "this major public health
problem",
The committee also became convinced that
fluoridation was not harmful to bodily health, to
11 c -taste or quality of the water, nor dict it corrode
water mains or affect adversely in any way indus-
trial processes.
On the basis of these conclusive findings,
then, the :residents of the above-named commuM,
ties must feel themselves fortunate to have had the
advantage of fluoridation throughout the years. it
is regrettable that these findings were not avail-
able many years sooner to allow other comMuni-
ties to have enjoyed the same benefits.
The committee further states; "We find that
the cost of fluoridating a municipal water•supply is
very reasonable .in :relation to the health benefit to
the. community." This indicates clearly that those
municipalities which do not have natural fluorida-
tion should investigate the cost of mechanical ad -
clition to the water- supply.
According to analyses provided Exeter PUC,
the town water has provided as much as 1.6 parts
of fluoride at times, Recent reports, however, in-
dicate the content is nil,
Now t.liat the legislature has given. muni-
cipalities the power to add fluoride without resort-
ing to a referendum, we feel the PUC should be
requested to investigate the cost of providing this
service for Exeter. Other municipalities in the area.
tc i, who do not enjoy natural fluoridation, should
consider mechanical addition.
Fluoridation is no longer a matter of con-
troversy; it is a decided benefit.
the development of a farmer -owned processing -
and marketing operation, as proposed in FAME.
This could be the answer in that it should provide
of°ective opposition to the trade through a volun-
tar•y organization. it means, unfortunately, that the
volwiteers. will have to finance and develop the
competition from which all of the producers will
benefit but it may be the only way a fair return
can be realized.

Got stuck in the rraud
It is interesting .to me to go
over some of the old files of
the Exeter 'I'imee and also of
the Times -Advocate, It is from
these old copies that 1 gleair
most of my jottings,
In the Exeter Advocate,
Match ]9, 1903, there are a
couple of interesting items. At
that time I. was an employee
of the Exeter Times under the
White family.
One item refers te trip that
Mr. Dan Danis, of Exeter,
made to London with a team.
of horses and a load of meat
which he sold to the local
butchers and also peddled a-
mong customers. The item
states that Mr. Davis has a
poor opinion of the London
city streets, especially that
portion of Richmond street
north, situated between Huron
and Regent streets, just where
the street railway turns oft
from Regent street:.
Mr. Davis was driving along
there with .a double 1.eam and
load of some 1,600 pounds of
neat, when the whole outfit
got stuck in the mud, which
formed the principal character-
istics of the thoroughfare at
that point. The .mud had been
getting deeper and creeper the
nearer he got to the city, and
by the time he got to the
place where the story com-
mences the wagon had sunk
up to the axles.
The good horses did tee• best
they could, but the wagon was
stuck fast, and• it looked as
though the outfit was to re-
main there all night. In the
struggle to get out the whiffle -
trees were broken, Finally re-
course was had. to a logging
chain, which was fastened A-
bout the wagon, and another
team was sent for. But in the
nick of time a street car hap-
pened along and took a pull
at the chain, with. the reStrlt
that the wagon was finally ex-
tricated from the sea of mud.
Mr, Davis said he would ask
tate city to pay for the whiffle -
trees and. other damage that
was done by his experience.
He thinks it is high time for
the city to put the roadin
some kind of shape so that the
people can come into the city
at this time of year without
running the risk of being'
marooned out near the north-
erly limits.
The other item reads!
'•A young roan. residing not
many miles distant from Exe-
ter, whom. we will initiai. as

tension of revengeful grudge
very mech mitigated. He had
been jilted by a young girl,

By MRS, JMS
Just recently the . Exeter
Public Library has been pre-
sent ed with eight bea utiful
books about Canada especially
selected .for young leaders by
the Richardson Century Fund
of 1ir1nnipeg.
The Exeter library Is one of
several hundred libraries to
receive such a gift which is to
commemorate the 100th anni
versary of ,Tames Richardson
& Sons, Limited, a grain and.
investment firm. A member of
the Richardson fancily had al-
ways been at the head of the
firm and, being interested in
the educational arts, the .R.f-
chardson Century Fund was
established in 1957.
The books received. a r e
Reign by Reign; The Dange-
rous Cove; The Farthest
Shores, The Great Adventure;
Ian of Red River; Two Little
Savages; The Link Betwe^in
the Oceans and P'addlc-to-the-
Sea. Some of these are al-
ready in the library but are
popular and warrant a second
copy,
Reign by Reign
One of these volumes, Reign
by Reign, depicts the reign
of every English: monarch from
1066 to 1952 on two pages, one,
a page of text and anolh/r
page of illustrations in full
color. Forty reigns are cov-
ered in this way with two
more pages at the beginning
about the Celts. Romans, Sa-
xons and Vikings,
if you are interested in •t.he
history of art but not in poli-
ties, you can select the para-
graphs on the arts on each
page and. skip the rest but
you will find 'the art of a reign
becomes more fascinating
when you know what was go-
ing on at the same time in
politics, religion and science.
Anyone can enjoy history
when presented in this way,
