EDITORIAL
By ART ELLIOTT
The Militia To Fight Again
It is good to see that the Canadian Militia will
be brought back to its right and reasonable job as
a fighting arm of the Department of National De-
fence.
The men who have served in recent years have
had to swallow a rather bitter pill, the rescue role
in the event of a nuclear war. This properly belongs
in the civilian domain and should be the work of
civilians unable or unwilling to meet Army require-
ments as to age or fitness.
It is to be hoped that with this decision will
come the equipment that will put the militiamen
on a sound footing. For too many years the militia
units have been hamstrung and rendered ineffec-
tive by outmoded and scanty tools with which to
work.
When militia units are equipped to the scale of
the Royal Canadian Regiment and the "Van Doos"
this newspaper will believe that justice is being
done. The loyalty and devotion the militiamen
have given over the years has earned them nothing
but the best.
The Ontario Safety League
reminds drivers that cars just
don't "stop on a dime". Even
at the modest speed of 30 mph
a nalert drierv, with good br-
akes, needs more than twice
the width of the average inter-
section to stop his car.
Police in a small Arizona
town became curious about the
many hitch-hikers who were
passing through. Checking 100
of them they found that only
four were without police re-
cords. Eighty-four had criminal
records, 1 2others were either
juvenile runaways or AWOL
servicemen.

How About That?
Perhaps in our old age we are getting crotch-
ety, but Arthur Ford's little bit in The Free Press
the other day irked a bit.
We believe the man is deeply fond of Bayfield
and its people, and in return, the people of Bay-
field hold him in high regard, as well they may.
However, we don't feel that even the tenderest
lampooning of our municipal ambitions, or our de-
voted citizens is justified.
Of course it was a kindly, benevolent, tongue-
in-cheek bit, but we are getting a little bored with
being held up as quaint characters.
As far as the flag issue is concerned, the Union
Jack has been a back number for lo, these many
years. Brigadier Frederick Clift flys the Red En-
sign, and if we guess correctly, will continue to do
so for some time to come.
The old P.R. man's slogan says that "any pub-
licity is good publicity as such'. 'If this is the case
we are indebted to Mr. Ford for continuing to put
Bayfield "on the map". At the same time we re-
serve the right to be less than enthusiastic as to
how he goes about it.
