Public and Discipline the Answer
It seems today that every town, re-
gardless of size, is experiencing diffi-
culties with youthful motorists who
delight in disconcerting their elders by
their motoring habits. They accelerate
at rates that contribute to heart fail-
ure; they squeal tires ;, they drive aim-
lessly, one moment and challenge the
speed limit the next. And through it
all they appear to exhibit a nonchalant
, distain for constituted law and author.
ity.
-Goderich has had problems, and the
Signal -Star suggests two solutions—the
first, publicity ; the second, discipline,
and explains it in these words : '
."We do not think for a moment
that teen-agers today are any worse or
any better than they, were years
Today, it it is thecustoth of youths to
go racing around the Square Sunday
evening in cars, in a devil-may-care
manner which does' not contribute to
good traffic conditions. But we can
produce evidence ' that yoqths did the
same thing many decades ago—only in
buggies drawn by lively horses.: Old
files of The Huron •Signal carry such
stories. It simply means that
the yOuths want fo let off steam, but
,they have to be checked now -and then,
todays just as they were checked back
in the horse and buggy days.
Youth have always resented the dis-
cipline of adults, even when the former
realize that the intentions of the latter
are well meaning. But among groups
of youths are sometimes found one or
two irresponsible ones. They some-
times influence their friends into do-
ing things that the latter would not
ordinarily do. They become harmful,
prodding leaders of uncalled-for actions,
thus giving a group . of . teenagers an
over-all public image for bad which
they do not deserve."
Pointing but that explanations . of
the difficulties should be given the po-
• lice commission, the Signal -Star goes
.on to say that it might be well if a press
release were available of this explana-
tion in order that the youths could re-
alize that there are two sides to' every,
story. Thinking youths would then be in
a position to get the proper perspective.
But ,for that very small minority of
undisciplined youths who would ignore
any explanation no matter what it
might be, maybe there should be Some
set-up whereby they would be obligat-
ed to take a year's compulsory service
in the army—where .discipline is rigid-
ly taught.' We do think that a small
number of youths do feel an unexplain-
able strong need for something—and
don't exactly know what it is—when
all the time it .is just some good old -
'fashioned discipline.

THIS WEEK and NEXT
The ‘01d Gang' Hangs On
By RAY ARGYLE
Prime Minister Pearson's own
"long, hot siimmer" has produc-
ed some of the most agonizing'
moments of his two-year ad-
ministration. He has been
roundly attacked for indecision
and half -measures • in dealing
with eorriiption charges in the'
Quebec . wing, of the federal
Liberal party.
,As the London Times com-
mented recently, it may 'Well
be that the Prime Minister lacks
the ruthlessness needed to head
a national government.
The roots of Mr. Pearson's
present political, embarrass-
ments are in the Quebec wing
of the federal Liberal party.
This clique, representing old-
line forces often tainted, with
raft, is still a. dominant body
i Canadian politics. • .
-Mr. Pearson knows this and
h knows also that their sup -
bort ,was the price he paid for
reaching 'the Prime Minister's
chair. Without their backing,
he would have been unakte to
pick hp enough Quebec seats
to form even -the' minority 'gov-
ernment which came into belz
out of the wreckage of the.19
election:
•
Mr. Pearson, as a seasoned
politician, knows that compro-
mise is •diu the onlyloway to
power in Canada. • And each
compromise is a calculated risk
that public sensibilities will not
be sufficiently outraged as to
cause him defeat at some fu-
ture election.
When Mr. Diefenbaker was
Prime Minister, he did not have
such an element to contend
with 'because the federal Con-
servative party had no en-
trenched structure in Quebec.
His own great failing was his
inability to recognize the need
for intelligent Quebec leaders
who could have kept the Con-
servative party abreast pf the
French Canadian revolution.
The irony of Mr. 'Pearsen's
position is that by all natural
inclination., he belongs with the on record and when all the ,

and the rest of Canada.
There is talk around Ottawa
that there is only .one really
outstanding progressive French
Canadian in the Pearson cab-
inet. He is Maurice Sauve, who
has 'been shunted into the min-
or post of'forestry minister,
and was overlooked in the post-
Dorion cabinet shuffle.
When Parliament resumes in
September, Mr.' Pearson will
have to satisfy' the Opposition
—and the Canadian people—
that the "old gang" from Mont-
real has been cut down to size.
