Several well - meaning persons have approached us at The Advance- Times, to know why we have not in- itiated a fund for the benefit of those who lost all their belongings in the disastrous fire two weeks ago. in case anyone else is concerned, we want to announce that we do not in- tend to start such a fund — not be- cause we are in any way lacking in sympathy for those who suffered such tragic losses, Rather it is be- cause we believe there is a much better way of handling such things. All too often the funds started by newspapers provide excellent pub- licity for the paper, but fail to a cer- tain degree in their avowed purpose, which is to alleviate suffering. Im- mediately after the fire we learned that Captain, Stanley Newman of the Salvation Army was receiving all kinds of offers to help the victims. These offers included furniture, clothing, etc., and Captain Newman was in a position to know exactly 'what was most needed for the fam- ilies involved.

I have just completed one year of teaching high school students. On the surface it has had little ef- fect on either of us. The students are a little taller, or fatter, or thin- ner than when we began. Some of the girls have different colored hair, Otherwise they are unmark- ed by the experience. Nor do I show any signs of the ordeal, Aside from a tic that makes the left side of my face look like Boris Karlaff every 20 seconds. But inwardly neither of us will ever be the. same. The students have ass to revise their ideas about teachers entirely. They began on the third day of school, when their teacher howled, "Turn around, ye. damned gawk!" at one of the class delinquents. Since that day, we've roared with laughter together. We've argued bitterly, with them winning some- times, We've teased each other. I've bellowed at them, and they've glared ri ght back at me. And I, too, have had to refurbish my notions about teaching and tea- chers. First of all, let me say it's a g rinding, hard job, mentally and physically.

"From our observance of the ac- tivity (or lack of it) which our public men have shown in recent months, we have become aware that the nega- tive attitude which now exists is dis- couraging to many who would like to build, to plan, to make Clinton a better place to live. "At the council meeting on Mon- day night three good suggestions were made and each was lightly brushed aside, while other less im- portant items took up the time of the governing body. "The three suggestions were for an anti-noise by-law sto help control the disturbance of Sunday quiet by people using a power mower, or a garden tractor; second, for forming a planning hoard to consider how best to. have the town grow; third, for an interest to be taken in a pro- posed Maitland River Conservation Authority. "Each of these items deserves the examination, at least, by Clinton's council, which would determine what action is possible. None of them de- served the off-hand treatment they received. "Our governing body on the municipal level has a duty to the peo- ple they represent and serve. If they do not meet that duty head-on, then they are not serving to the best of their ability. "We feel that the whole attitude of official Clinton could be changed for the better, if they would tackle problems like the army sergeant ‘s ho said, 'The difficult :we do right away; the impossible takes a little longer.'

Two problems, prickly with un- usually long thorns, are confronting the federal government at the pre- sent time—either one of them carry- ing all the potentialities of a show- down and a fall election. The one which emerged first was. the refusal of the Liberal-heavy Sen- ate to ratify the government's bill on tariff regulations_ without an amend- ment. Despite the wails of the PC Senators, that august body last week sent the bill back to the Commons with an alteration in one of its major clauses.. The next move will probably be, the selection of a committee of both houses to seek a compromise, failing which the bill cannot become law. • In its final extremity the g-ov- etninent might well seek direction from the electorate. This particular difference of po- litical opinion is rather important to the Canadian people. The members of the Senate are, of course; appoint- ed by the government in power w'hen vacancies occur. After the, Liberals' long reign the Senate has a strong Liberal majority, a situation which can only 'be 'rectified, as far as the PCs are concerned, when enough of these Liberal Senators have passed to- the great beyond, since appoint- ments are for life. • The questiOn does arise,. neverthe- less :•What use is the Senate if it can- not disagree with the legislation brought down in the Commons? Ad- mittedly a Senate which consistent)y refused to pass the Commons legisla- tion could be a great hindrance to the business of the nation—hut if 48 pur- pose is only that of a rubber stamp why do we have it at all? - The second vexing question be- fore the government is the matter of the resignation of Mr. James Coyne, governor of the Bank of Canada. The government would like to have it and My. Coyne says he won't comply. We certainly don't intend to en.- ter any discussions in this eonnec- tion, for the whys and wherefores are probably known only to Mr. Coyne and Mr. Fleming — although Mr. Diefenbaker may have been let in on the secret, If Mr. Coyne continues to refuse his. resignation he could prove an- other thorn in government flesh — and a potential source for election thinking ts eburtb rtl; The Wingham Advance-Times Rev.
