BALDERDASH IT WAS THE editor of a great daily who said it was .a "poor sort of man indeed, who could not find something in every daily paper to make him raging mad." We won't claim the distinction every day, but we were enraged by the suggestion put for- ward recently by school teachers, that November 11 as a holiday, for children should not be con- tinued. Their reasons were—that the children had no remembrance of the last war, most Leg- ion members had no remembrance of the first world war and anyway the Legion represents a part of the population—why should the rest of the people do what they want? Good heavens! have we let the coming gen- eration grow up without a .knowledge of the fears and horrors of war? Have they no ap- preciation of the battles fought before they were born? Have our teachers failed an their duty to teach them this? Apparently so—for the Legion members who most certainly represented us all—including the coming generation (at that time unborn) when they donned the uniform and went out to defend our way of life, now are told they only represent part of the people. A Sad state of affairs, indeed, Consider the teachers themselves—do they attend November 11 services in the area where the children they teach can, see them and copy their example? How Can a teacher who sup- ported a resolution to cancel the November 11 holiday go back to his classroom and teach the meaning of "If we break faith with those who die They shall not rest Though poppies blow on Flanders' fields;" A. reverent attitude on that day can best be achieved, we think, by a holiday (after prop= er instruction) —on which the children attend with their teachers a remembrance day service, complete with flags, parade, the two -minute silence, etc., and the rest of the day off to mark in the children's memory a day of import. ance, A day which their eiders deem important and one in which respect and honor is paid to Canada's warriors throughout all her battles .for freedom. QUITE A PRECEDENT LIKE HUNDREDS of people in this district we have a membership in the community credit union. Other hundreds belong to Clinton's sec- ond credit union. We have no ill feelings to- ward the organization. In fact we feel that the Credit Unions fill a definite need and are of help to those who make proper use of them, Along with the rest of its members, we feel pride in the. new building recently completed, and look forward to the time when landscaping will be finished and the modern drive' in window is put into use. With regard to landscaping, however, we do have some things to say: The town sold the lot to the Credit Union, The town councillors must have recognized the fact that it was a low lot, and would have to be built up. Perhaps they were pleased to sell such a lot, at a reasonable figure. But -- they apparently did not look far enough into the futureto to see what the building. up process would produce. The result has been to bury both sidewalks along the borders of the lot. That area has been the route of a natural watercourse — and when heavy rains come, they take everything before them. What may happen to the low lawns and gardens be- hind the Credit Union, the owners can predict. To return to the sidewalks. It would seem probable that anyone who damaged sidewalks In town should have to repair them. The PUC has to, if their equipment causes damage, The construction men have to, if their machines break up pavement. But the town council has decided to pay for new sidewalks along the highway. The Credit Union is going to be asked to pay for the walk along William Street. Why the 50-50 deal? If the sale of this low corner lot two years ago now results in an expenditure for side- walks — where goeth the wisdom of said sale? Is this the start of a long range plan to replace all sidewalks in town? If not, then why establish this precedent of paying half the dam- ages. Where is this going to leave the town with the PUC? . We are not condemning the directors of the Credit Union. Rather we feel they are keen businessmen who had nothing to lose by asking, If their request had been refused they would probably have taken it all in good humour and done the job themselves. -- -4-AND ANOTHER THING WE DISAGREE with Council on still an- other point. This matter was not brought as a motion, but rather as a discussion, and the Mayor was .asked to take the "feeling of the Council" to the PUC. We don't see how His Worship can do this when there was no motion put, and no vote on the questions. However — The thing is `, some of the councillors do not favour the building of a new PUC building. They have a right to their own personal opinions, but they have shown little interest in discovering the facts — the real need for this new building. The arguments against seem weak: too far to go to pay bills; not using present offices to th Also of course, the water tower, in the far corner of St. Andrew's Ward (beyond the race track) and the hydro lines all over town. Now of even partial consolidation of this net- work can be achieved, it would help the effic- iency of the PUG. That should be the desire of all Clinton people. After all, it's your money! As we understand it the new building would house the business office, the warehouse, (where all wire, cables, pipe, tools, etc, would be kept), and the garage to house the trucks. From this location the superintendent could organize his three groups of men to the best advantage.
