Rings the bell
Bitner I), Bell, QC, is a political enthusiast..
Because he's been active for years in the Progress-
ive Conservative party and 110V• is serving as pro,
4110,4 president, he might be considered a dyed-
in-the-wool Tory. But his recent. remarks at a Po
youth conference at Jackson's Point indicate he's
not at all satisfied with the status quo in his party.
This is commendable because political.
parties must change oo matter how successful,
they 'VINO been in the past. They must constantly
seek improvement and rejuvenation,
Obviously, this was Mr. Bell's intention in.
urging the young PC's to take a more' active part
in their party's affairs, to effect changes a'cquir'ed
by the influences of new generations of voting age
citizens, to seek office there older officials have
been falling down on the job.
Mr. Bell, critical of the party followers who
demand pay for their services at election time,
pointed out the dangers to democracy caused by
the increasing cost of political campaigns. He
stressed the need for enthusiastic volunteers to
take active parts in political activity, which re-
mains on the most vitally important, but
creasingly ignored, areas of our society,
Doubtless Mr. Bell's remarks will be en-
dorsed by the leaders of other political parties.
The need to develop more participation in, and
greater respect for, politics was never more urgent
than it is today.
This continent, steeped in the British de-
mocratic traditions, is woefully unaware that its
form of representative government is undergoing
the greatest test of its 'history. It seemingly fails
to appreciate that democracy, despite its long
existence, is accepted only by a fraction of this
world's people, it does not appear to recognize
that our type of freedom is under close scrutiny
by the many new nations being born in Africa
and Asia.
Most of all, we feel, our countries fail to
realize that constant effort is needed to improve
and develop democracy. It is far from a perfect
form of government at this stage. Our faith and
belief in it demands that we strive to make it
better.
We commend Mr. Bell for his forthright-
ness in his position of importance. We hope more
and more Canadians will answer the call for par-
ticipation in politics. They must do so, to make
our way of life strong, indestructable.

British Mortgage and Trust Co which ap-
eus to be iannehmg a new era in the financial
•"-,. business, has erected some very impressive of-
ices. in this part of Ontario.
A number of area residents recently attend,
0 the opening of the company's new office in
—oderich, It's a most unique and exciting struc-
' ure, designed to enhance its unusual triangle site.
rne conveniences it provides for its customers are
excellent as the taste it has ineorporated in its
decor,
The company's new head office at Strat-
ford and another new branch at Listowel are
.„equally impressive. The structures have been de-
by the same architectural firm which cre-
ated the award-winning festival theatre building in
Stratford.
This radical departure from staid and
square buildings, decorations and conveniences is
a welcome trend, one which clearly shows British
Mort age's desire to enhance the culture and char-
acter of the communities it serves as well as to
provide outstanding facilities for financial ser-
vices.
We congratulate the officials of this com-
pany on their perspective and progress, wish them
success in their extensive expansion program and
hope their example will inspire other firms to use
imagination in planning new structures. Stolid old
„.NTestern Ontario can use much more of the British
Mortgage flair.
" Where are the fish?
What's the matter with Lake Huron that
either the fish are deserting it or 'else refuse to
be caught? In none of the Great Lakes has com-
mercial fish landings dropped off so much during
the first six months of 1962 as has been the case
in Lake Httron. Commercial fishers at both Gale-
rich and Bayfield have complained that fishing has
„been poor this season. Their complaints are sub-
-4faritiated by the estimates just released by -the
Ontario Department of Lands and Forests,
The fish catch in Ontario waters for the
'4111,st- six months of 1962 is 15.8 per cent greater
Irian for the first half of 1961. In Lake Huron,
however, catch of commercial fishermen decreas-
ed by 37.1 per cent. Lake Erie showed an increase
of 29.1 per cent. Northern Inland Waters showed
An increase of 5,1 per cent, PrOduction in. Lake
•tglIperior gained 31.1 per cent. Landings in
"..'it'eorgian Bay more than doubled. The catch in
s'.-Lake Ontario. however, dropped by 11.1 per cent,
end Lake St. Clair dropped by 10.5 per cent. The
rti'orth Channel of Lake Huron showed a decrease
rif 14.6 per cent.
No explanation is given why Lake Huron
