PPP a new concept introduced The question of a guaranteed an- nual income could become one of the major federal election issues. Some people feel that such, a plan would do Canada more harm than good, but concrete proposals are needed before an accurate opinion can be formed. At least the 'concept' of a guaranteed income has been intro- duced into the political theatre, The department of social and wel- fare services for Ontario feels that if a guaranteed annual income were available to everyone, many of the financial problems that befall individ- uals or families would be eliminated, ..leaving the department free to deal with actual problems of welfare, such as counselling and rehabilitation. A guaranteed annual income could be one answer to the problems of technological unemployment. One • minister in the Ontario government suggested that it could replace family . allowances. Is the guaranteed income concept destined to become another political football like Medicare? Will we find, more politicians giv- ing lip service to the idea but saying that we can't afford it now? Only time will tell. , The poor who are forced to sub- mit to a police, state prying into their affairs before they get any assistance from the family and social service de- partment or from municipal welfare ad- ministrators are the forgotten ones in - the controversy. Surely we can devise a dignified means of ensuring that all families and individuals in this rich country have enough to live on. The concept of a guaranteed an- nual income is worth exploring further, a target of Brown's unyielding opposition; significantly, the stamp in his honour is issued during the International Year for Human Rights. A public acknowledgement of his Journalistic endeavours came in 1967, Canada's Cen. tennial year, when he was named to the Canadian News Hall of Frame 4 He was an untiring • worker in the cause of Respon. sible Government; he advocated union with Canada of the vast fertile plains west from Upper Canada to the Rockies, and it is recognized that the North.. west Territories were acquired by Canada largely es a result of_ his persistent. efforts. 'irst elected to Parliament in 1851, he played prominent roles in the Quebec and Char. lottetown Conferences; itwas in this era that _ he provided a 'r emarkabl e example of "country before self" when he joined forces with his political foe, John A, Macdonald, to fac. ilitate negotiation of the terms Of Confederation, Elevation to a seat in the Senate came in 1873., • George Brown's life ended on a tragic note in death from a wound inflicted by a disgruntled worker who paid for his act on the gallows. Seated in his private office on the afternoon of the 25th March 1880, Brown had been confronted by a man who demanded a signature to a paper acktiowledging years of satisfactory service in the newspaper office. Although the assailant had been unknown to Brown, it was later established. he had been employed in the engine room of the Globe, end had been dia. charged for' intemperance. A pistol carried by the assail« ant discharged duringe,scuffle wounding Brown in the thigh. The inuury had not been con• sidered to be of sufficient seriousness to e rid angst Brown's life; weeks Were to pass before complications re. suited in death on the 10th May 1880. 75 years ago Clinton New Era May 26, 1893. People are still removing their front fences and improv- ing their grounds; complaint is made that some people driving cattle along the main streets are not as careful as they might be and allow an odd animal to run over a lawn, doing con- siderable damage that is not easily repaired; of course this cannot always be prevented but all the townspeople ask is that prudence be exercised. BAYFIELD - The spell of the fair enchantress seems to be on a couple of our young men.

Ormond, tayfield w this Week. Sir: Have you room for another's comment aboutyour non-review of Call,S.S.ss recent attempt at live entertainment. (Now, four weeks later, if you want to ignore this whiplash on the grounds that the horse is already dead, do so. But I hope you will read on.) Because, sir, I hope you have learnt this - that the role of the critic is valid, and that the community has been conditioned to expect him (wherever there is a medium of communication) after the fact. And also this - that people (especially, young) who have submerged themselves com- pletely in their problem of be- ing creators of something, can never return to be i ng "commonplace" after such an experience. And this was their expression of collective creativity. We can no longer delegate self-expression to a chosen few. Neither do we want them to hide paintings in the cellar for fear of looking fool- ish, do we? We need more Thomas Edisons and Jonas Salks, than ever before. A year ago (before your time), I expressed my hopes in this column that the idea of a junior editorial department be sup— ported and encouraged by this community. You are its mouth- piece. Isn't this a good time to think about it? This community has these few weeks expressed a tremendous interest in the well-being of the student population; and here is a ready-made opportunity. Jam sure we will read what they have to say. Make space so that they can write what they feel about their scene, Let them review their own productions, too. Name the column "Youth Beat" or some- thing else, or let them name their own vehicle, but assure them of space in the News Record. A personal challenge to you, Mr. Editor: why don't you. re- vieW, for us, an Arthur Lipsett film? By your style, we will decide whether or not you are "007's. Respectfully subMitted, Mrs. V. R. Bird. Sir: I would like to express a few comments regarding a situation which is becoming not only dan. gerous but More than a little 'annoying to the citizens of Clin. ton. The circumstance to which refer is that which allows reckless and egotistical drivers to race their cars 1.11) and down the main streets and thorough- fares of the town at "break. neck" speeds, roving their meters and schreeching their tires. Running a close second to these is a group of indtortys clists who insist on creating the greatest possible disturbance by riding about iri groups of two or three, motors roaring, making such a dreadful racket that they can be relied upon to "disturb the peace", often well into the wee hoars of the thorn. ings Many of these drivers are Making- it impossible for a pa- destrian to feel safe even in his own right of way, as I exper. fenced not long ago while cross. ing the street at a crosswalk, at which time a &leer purposely speeded up front Well &WM- the street, aimed directly toward me, stopped and asked sass casticly if he had frightened me and drove off. Surely, if nothing else, these motorists and cyclists are ex. seeding the town speed limit and I would appeal heartily to the authority of Clinton to remedy a situation which is hazardous and in addition, a great nuisance to the residents of our town, Sincerely, Mrs. T. A, James Sir: On behalf of the Womens Aux.- * to thea Clinton' Public Hospital,' I should like to thank you and your newspaper for the excellent coverage given to the Hospital Tea which was held last week. It was a week for honouring hospitals and locally the env; phasis was on Florence Nightin. gale. I am sure anyone who has had the benefit of any nursing care would recognize the dedia cation required of the members of the nursing profession. Your support was very greatly ly appreciated. • Yours sincerely, Marny H.R. Walden (Mrs. L. Paul Walden) Corresponding see.
