EVERY MAN HAS HIS
RIGHTS
Last week New Hamburg town
Council decided that it would not
Permit trailers to be occupied as
dwellings within the municipality.
The councillors were apparently
Concerned about the problem of
sanitation.
Though there may be reasons
-0hy,-,A is impossible for the owner of
-t?aile:r to arrange for ' proper sani-
tation in New Hamburg, it is a little
hard,,,to believe. Thousands upon
thousands Of families all over the
DonAion of Canada and the United.
States are living in trailers. In fact,
were., it not for the shelter which
trailers have offered in'this age of
holt:410 problems, „both ,.countries
-viroulcl long since 'have iaced an eco-
nomic 'and social problem which
would have been well-nigh insur-
mountable.
We are not deeply concerned
here, however, with New Hantburg's
domestic, worries. We wish to refer
only'to this 'case as an example of
the increasing tendency of govern-
ing bodies'io over-step the bounds
of legislation which should never
at any time infringe on .a citizen's
freedom. British common law still
provides the,founclation for legisla-
-tion which is meant to endure—
and' the common law sayS. that every
man has 'his d,wn- perAorial rights.
One would suppose that basic
right would be the privilege.of de-
ciding what kind of home he'intencls
to have on his own property -- pro-,
vided of course; that he does not eti-
danaer the health or safety of his
neigt-hbors. .
Zoning by-laws which lay down
rules about where in a community a
business may be operated and where
homes maybe built come very close
to infringement upon this common
law of personal rights, even though
they may contribute substantially to
the betterment of the community in
general.
To return to one of our pet
thernes---it is in such small ways
that the freedom of a whole nation
can be endangered and finally lost.
In this land we have no fear of a
revolution or a military upheaval—
but we would do well to be a little
more critical of our unthinking
agreement with every new rule and
by-law which is suggested. A law
which is to be enforced on the public
should be given careful consider-
ation, no matter how trivial it may
seem,.

inent welfare employees are a hard,'
hearted lot, bent chiefly on saving
money for the department which
employs them. To our very sincere
pleasure we have found that such an
attitude can spring only from ig-
norance. Without exception we
found that the people who admin-
ister the various public welfare acts,
from the minister down, are' con-
Cerned with one thought only—how
best to serve the unfortunate citi-
zens and children of the province for
whom they are responsible.
Yes, that is a big statement, but
apparently the day of the tough and
bloodless relief administrator who
sticks in our memory from depres-
sion days, is over. From the thing's
we have seen in the Parliament
Buildings L 'in Toronto, we now
realize that the surest way to, lose ,a
job with the Department Of Welfare
would be to demonstrate • lack of
sympathy for those who apply to
that department for guidance or
assistance.
Perhaps do other aspect of Man's
development over the pasSing years
is more .apparent than 'his real con-
cern for those less fortunate than
himself. If there is any redeeming
feature for an age which has pro-
duced a Hitler and a Stalin, this new
sense of public responsibility must
be that saving gtace. We note with
deep satisfaction that this growth
of human compassion has been most
active in the fifteen years imme-
diate'behind us.
EDUCATION PREVENTS
DISEASE ,
National in' munization week is
being celebrated in Canada this fall
from September 22nd to 28th for the
fifteenth consecutive year. This
annual event is planned to call to
the attention of the people through-
put Canada the importanCe .of im-
inunization against certain diSeases,
In the past years these have iiicluct-'
ed diphtheria, whooRing-cough, tet-
anus and in some parts of Canada
tuberculosis.
This year, because of the devel-
opment of the Salk Vaccine, polio-
myelitis, or infantile paralysis, will
be added to the list. Immunization
has already achieved remarkable re-
sults. For instance in 1944:.there
were over three thousand,tases of
diphtheria in Canada; in 1956 there
were only 135 cases. In 1944 thAre
were over 13,000 cases of whooping-
cough; in 1956-8, 513. Pojio, a di-
sease which even in the absence ,of
va-ccine varies in ,incidence, jumped
frOm 327 cases in 1943 to '8,878 in
1953. However, by the use of the
Salk vaccine it is hoped that its in-
cidence may be reduced to the v9.n-
ishing
It is a very difficult thing to
make sure that every person in
every part of a vast country like
Canada is informed about how these
diseases might be prevented. The'
proof that people will be careless
even in spite of widespread propa-
ganda is found in two epidemics of
diphtheria during the last year; one
in Winnipeg with 46 cases, and an-
other in Detroit with 161 cases and
5 deaths. 'Yet in the absence of an
educational programme covering
the whole country through national
media such as radio, television and
national press coverage' there is sure
to be laxness in some localities and
in the case of diseases such as, those
mentioned the price of lack of eter-
nal vigilence is disease and perhaps
death. All Ca4adiaiis are urged to
unite during this special week to
help to carry' the message to all
parts of Canada that there are cer-
tain of the diseases of childhood
which may be avoided,
* *
'or those who are fond t4 the
myriad delights of good eating, fall
presents a season of mixed ono-
tions. All the wonderful fresh foods,
the fruits and vegetables are indeed
a joy — but one is SO frequently re-
minded that all will soon be over
and we will be back to meat, pota,.
toes and carrots.
