Curiouser and 'Curiouser
The •audience in the council churl,
ber last week — had there been Any
audience — was offered a strange con,
tradiotion in policy by the leaders of
the community.
In the first place, council was
approached by a citizen who is plan-
ning a new home in a new subdivision.
He requested permission for a building
permit, so that he could proceed with
initial work on the building before win-
ter, Council did not feel that they
could make an exception. The town
has signed an agreement with the sub-
divider, providing that certain services
have to be available in the subdivision
before permits can be issued. Neverthe-
less, the mayor and one councillor were
heard suggesting to this citizen that be
was "too honest" and that if he had
gone ahead with the . building without
a permit, then probably nothing .would
have been done about it by council.
The fact is, that any house-builder
who contravenes the building by-law
passed in 1923, is liable to a fine of $5
to $500. This law has rarely, if ever,
been enforced.
(It is, of course, a recognized fact
that a person who builds without a
permit, is running the risk of complica-
tions, probably quite expensive ones,
should he have to re-build part of the
structure in order to make use of ser-
vices when they are available. The very
fact that he has a permit means that
the town has accepted certain responsi-
bilities.)
This' suggestion by council that a
citizen do comething against one of the
laws of the town was curious enough.
In the second place, council was
approached by a citizen who has tried
on several occasions in the past to
have regulations enforced, with regard
to obstruction of sidewalks, and roads
in his part of town. However, here,
council seemed bent on having by-laws
obeyed by all. They said that if the
Particular problem referred to in the
letter were ordered cleaned up, then
"all the rest of the town" would have
to be ordered cleaned up, too.
We are quite in accordance with
the intent of enforcing laws. The idea
that laws should be obeyed is riot new
to us. Surely it is not new to council.
Yet they apparently feel it is a rather
new idea to enforce a by-law "all over
town",
Curiouser and curiouser,
Season Unto Season
Summer is dead, though at what certain
hour,
With what slow pangs has drawn the
final breath,
Who knows? Only the haze, the yellow-
ed flower,
The autumnal pyre, bear witness to a
death.
Season is one with season, flesh with
flesh.
Neither can build about itself a wall
Or cleanly knife the faded from the
fresh
With—here the summer, over there the
fall.
Today we walk in sun, tomorrow mist
That blurs the clear-cut thought, the
rapture stilled,
The splendid urgency to clench the fist
At fate or rail at justice unfulfilled.
Autumn, we say, amazed, note the
brown leaf,
The crimson haw, and snatch a last
gold sheaf.

Letters To Editor: Expression of Opinions
(This is the sixth in a series of
editorials explaining how a weekly
newspaper functions.)
Like all newspapers, the Clinton
News-Record publishes communications
or letters to the editor, when we re-
ceive them. They are expressions of
the opinions our readers hold upon mat-
ters of public interest.
Often conditions arise in every
community that make certain phases
of community welfare appear unsatis-
factory. They can often be rectified
simply by voicing a complaint in the
local newspaper. Such action arouses
interest, creates arguments, and some-
times rights the real or imaginary
wrongs.
The News-Record has always held
to the policy that the full name of the
author should be published along with
his letter. If a man has an opinion
he should be willing to back it with
his name. However, many. people will
not have a letter published over their
signature and we do allow pen names
provided the author's real name is
known to the editor.
The letters-to-the-editor column
should be the editorial comment of the
subscribers. It allows everyone an ef-
ective voice in the affairs of the com-
munity. Thus, if you have something
constructive to say on a public matter
or something you want the commun-
ity to know about, write a letter to
the editor. If it is not libelous and
doesn't offend good taste, it will be
published.
A Tribute To Canada
Land of the flaming maple,
Land of the inland seas,
Land whose blue horizon
Is edged with the dark pine trees;
Great art thou among nations, ,
Great is the soul of thee,
Thou hast opened thy gates to the
world,
To the many who would be free;
Footsore, weary, hungry, broken
in spirit,
They come from every clime,
Foreigners now, but Canadians all
—after a time.

that highlights the 'tolerance

the way we have treated :our

the true benevolence of the
'broad-minded, liberail-thinisiog
Canadian stands out like 'a—
rib—leprous
Did we crowd them into tiny

And it wasn't that we took
away their good land We just
'took a lot of old cattle pasture
and crop land that they weren't
using anyway, and we handed
over to them some dandy high,
rocky land, and some good,
fertile swamps, for their reser-
vations.
Do we, deny the Indians' their
rights? Not 'for a minute, Every
time 'we 'get involved' in a war,
we let 'them join' the 'army, just
like White people.
Why, 'in some of our more
enlightened :provinceS, Indians
can go in the pubs and get
drunk, just, like white people.
And—a final mark of our in-
terest in their wellarea-we are
now letting them go to sdhool
with our own 'children, Thia will
probably finish them off quick-
er than whisky or smallpox.
Yes 'sir, it makes you feel
pretty downright warm all

we Canadians don't have: a
prejudiced bone in our bodies.

.couldn't help congratulating
myself, When I read about that
ugly -dieplay of pace hatred' at
the University, of Mississippi,
on being a 'citizen in the .land
of thee maple leaf, the rye
whiskey, the devalued dollar,
and the naked Deoldrober.
If #tere'5 one thing we
Oanadiam are, it's completely
toierant of races,. 'religions and
odours different from . our own.
It's pretty heart-warming, I
can tell you, to be a member
of a nation that is utterly
with.ont prejudice.
I don't know why the rest
of the world cant be like us.
Look at those South Africans,.
Many of them just hate black
people. Look at those Congo-
leee. Many of them just hate
white people. We dont hate
anybody.

Oh, we have our little pee-
cadilloe.s, After all, we're
human I mean, you can, carry
'this junk too fax. We recog-
nize 'the fact, 'for example, that
the darn Roman Catholics (or
the heretical Protestants) are
out to get us under their thumb,
that they've gone too far, at
last, and that they've get to be
stopped somewhere,
We realize 'that, while
N'egroe's are definitely human
beings, there's, no point in ir-
hating our Arnerican tourists
by letting the black people stay
at our tourist resorts. After all,
business isi Wetness:.
We .know perfectly well that
Jews are just as good .a.e any-
body. Simart, too. But let's' keep
them in 'the clothing of busi-
ness. They seem to, like it.
Let's not allow more than a
few of them 'into medicine or
dentistry. Let's: not have any
of them in our big, national
banks or insurance companies.
They're too dang smart for
their 'own good'. -
Speaking of 'foreigners — of
course, we 'don't call them for-
eigners, as some people dlo;
they're ethnic 'groups, or New
Canadians, or bloody Europeans
—I don't think there's 'another
country in 'the world that gives
them a warmer welcome.
Around election time,
I must adinit 'that it's rather
annoying that some -of these
comparative newcomers to our
country dont seem to get into
the spirit of the thing. Some
of 'them seem to 'think that as
Mikleaki is just as good as a
McCloskey.. Not that :he isn't,
of .course. But — well, you
know,
A lot of these; people don't
seem to realize that our 'an-
cestors didn't come out here
just to .get out from under the
thumb of some old czar or king,
or just to find an ,easy place
to make a living They came
out here because there was: a
potato famine in Ireland, or
