Be it drugs or alcohol, cars or motorcycles, young people want to try them all. Probably they are merely imitating their elders and lack the experience to get away with it. Whatever the case, we hear and read too much bad news about our kids and too little of their achievements. Since 1981 The Ontario Community Newspapers Association has been recognizing the "good" in our young people, from the ages of 8 to 16 years of age. The association has been generously backed first by Canadian Pacific Airlines and in recent years by its successor, Canadian Airlines International. Candidates for such recognition are usually located by the local newspaper in each community and the nominees are chOtenkfor the service and commitment they have deMbistrated in their com- munites . , • = Each year theselected young people are taken *Vie annt4a1 meeting of the OCNA, where they meet the lieutenantt90eiriOe. -,Ontario at his, official suite and have 'a .famity portrit1aken, and''ta he presenkeach of them -with a -Scitat5le'401#.#660017 gdintler T116,Yenqi:e'Ejoprpose qf the'event is to publi'plZe'thd'fict fife pO' Inarfy•Kilfigsfgrkare indeOlgood OtOiisltiYrnii,,O#0.1ititOTAAL and 44740 its repon= •sibiI,tte.

'Votingisa dlitSr Once every three years ratepayers getthe chant* to elect those who will be handed the responsibility of conducting the business of their municipality in the best interests of its residents. Municipal election day this year is Nov., 14. Unfortunately, hpwever, many eligible voters will not take advant- age of this„oivortunity. Some, of course, for validleasons — the ill or the frail elderly, to name a few -- are'siMply unable to get to a polling station. Too often there are those who just don't care enough to get out and vote. Ironically, many of the latter do not hesitate later to buttonhole -a member of council to rail on about some issue handled by that body and its resolution with -which he fails to agree. We urge all who are eligible to elect the council in their village, tOwnship or town to turn out and`Vote. Voting goes beyond being a privilege, or even a right. Por us it should be considered a duty. it is easy for us to recognize that election time is at hand as candidates slowly begin to announce their intention to run. Some declare immediately, while others prefer to delay their announce- ment, waiting in the wings, so to speak, to discover what oppo- sition they might face and calculating their chances of winning before tossing their hats into the political ring. It is this type of maneuvering which leads to candidates being placed in office by acclamation and once again electors have miss- ed out on the opportunity to do just that — elect! We urge those who want to be candidates to declare themselves early and not wait until nomination day, Oct. 17. Those of you who. want to see certain candidates in the race are also asked to urge them to file their papers now. . Let's make Nov. 14 Election Day, not just a day of acclamation. One man's opinion The second president of the United States was not so sure that party pollticS operated in the best interests of the nation: "I say parties and factions will not suffer or permit improvements , to be made. As soon as one man hints at an improvernet* his rival opposes it. ,No sooner has One party disoovereq or inOnted an amelioration of the condition of man or the order Of toddy, than the opposite party belies it, misconstrues it, ridloOlee it, inSults it and persecutes it." You know, Mr. Adams was right. His contention was, never triore clearly demonstrated_ than tight at the present,time irt the Canadian House of Commons. But Mr. Adams did not, to our knowledge, suggest a viable, alter- native to party politics. So far If has owed to be the Only way both sides of a public question Cart be aired. grid dtpided.
