Noise We Don't Need
In the course of several years;'
close association with city iriends
we have practised several atlectodes
to illustrate the profound quietness
of our surroundings in a small
Western Ontario community. We
have told them that the howling of
somebody's dogs a mile or so out in
Turnberty Township will waken us
on a summer night. Another rich
tale has to do with a New York taxi
driver we met last year, who said he
visited in Toronto once but hall tt,

so "rsset” he .couldn't sleep,

to. Personally, we C'an't sleep in the

JOB WELL DONE
Our compliments to the Depart-
ment of Highways men who are in
charge of the road from here to
Harrlston•, Not only is the road kept
in good shape at all times, but this
particular crew.seems to take a great
deal of satisfaction from the lnainL
tenance of attractive picnic table
Sites,
When picnic tables were first
placed along our highways they were
seldom used --- but great changes
have taken place. There has been a
tremendous awakening of interest in
the outdoors and absorbing as much
of ii:; ;s possible n.oitl' short seasons
of *arm weather. In :fact, there are
not nearly enough picinc tables to
serve the' public at present.
ygit travel to any extent yon
haveno doubt noticed the great dif-
ference, from one .area to another,
in the sort of maintenance which is
provided at the roadside picnic sites.
In some places the tables and trash.
barrels are there—and that's all. In
others , .•unci we particularly men-
tion Highway $6, the grass around
the gables is mowed, the tables are
dusted regularly,. the locations have
been selected with care to provide
th.e tourist with the ultimate in at-
tractivenessr,-` "
As a matter of fact, the compli-
ments we are currently passing out
should he extended to the Depart
relent of l;f•ighways ,as a whole. In
this section of Ontario the general
stalvtciard of%piciiic and roadside le••
corn iodation$' is -good, Gro north
abrmr a hundred miles, however, and
vont will find that the roadside eat-
ing spots are: handled by another de-
pa.rtment, and you will be shocked
by the slovenliness of their condition.
Perhaps we should qualify that
statement, We haven't: used one of
the tables in the North since last
year. Maybe things have changed.
TTarking back to former exper-
iences, however, we found that the
department which has the largest
share of responsibility for present-
ing the Northland in all its unspoiled
glory the people who place ex-
pensive ads in, the American publi-
cations . were chasing tourists
away' by the hundreds because the
physical accommodations were mis-
erable
to use a modest word.

ruents, is creating a unprecedented
shock of noise. A. few experimental
vehicles,whipped together by their
young owners, are to be seen from
time to time, They are, indeed, in-
genuous pieces of engineering, but
the noise they make is something
their inventors have forgotten all
about,
Fortunately, the per'entage of
noise - nuisance is still a minor con-
sideration here—so here—so insignificant, in
fact that we will probably be brand"
ea as fuddy-duds for writing about
it, However, it is one of the more
unpleasant aspects of modern living.
�atl age in which the internal com-
bustion engine has become status
symbol, The larger places went
through all this commotion years
ago, to the point where unneeessaay
noise was eventuallyrecognized as
a public nuisance, Today our large
cities all have laws which "limitthe
amount of noise any one citizen can
make.
We think it's time that the auth-
orities stepped in, with appropriate
by-laws behindthem, to keep our
town just a wee bit on the peaceful
side. After all, if we want noise we
can always turn on the TV.
Our Ontario Northland – and
that means any place north of the
lower rim of the pre -Cambrian
;shield, starting at th.e bottom. of
Georgian Bay, entices .visitors from
all over this continent, We, who live
so close, have never realized the
power of attraction this beginning of
the Great North has far those :who
spend their years in cities and un-
ending plains. They come; in their
hundreds and their thousands . . .
with their trailers behind their cars,
their boats -on -wheels, eager to spend
their holiday money in our province.
The Toronto authorities haven't
started to realize that this supreme-
ly important tourist industry is a
thing which must he studied and
cilltivated down to the finest: detail.
Perhaps we who live in the pro-
vince can put up .with shoddy ser-
vices and mediocre accommodations
-- but let's not expect. our outside
visitors to come back too often un-
less we brighten up.
Tf some irate official in Queen's
Park is already cooking up a letter
for The Advance -Times, we 'would
advise.him to file it•and takehis holi-
days in British Columbia, just to see
how things really can be' done.
• All of which brings. us back to
the modern Highwaymen of No. 86
—where yon can see the real possi-
bilities which lie before us.
STAYING HOME TO
STAY ALIVE
All this chatter about the travel-
ling public has prompted further
words on the same subject. The par-
ticular subjects we are thinking
about at the moment are those sen-
sible folk who have made a solemn
resolution to stay off the roads on
the long week -ends. Only a few clays
ago we talked with an employer who
has taken some positive action in
this regard. He .happens to be a
newspaperman, and in his business
(just like ours) Monday holidays
are a plain pain in the neck. So he
posted a notice on his bulletin board
that henceforth his staff would
ob-
Se1Vethe Trldayprevious to a Mon-
day holiday as their tit-ne off and he
back to work on Monday morning.
They love it, They drive to their
vacation spots on a quiet Thursday
evening. They come back to their
homes on an equally quiet Sunday
evening ---and not a single one has
been killed in a traffic accident.
Simple, and maybe silly. But how
many of us will be left alive if we
all try to use the highways•, on the
same week -ends? There just ain't
enough roads to go around.

And, of course, you realize that
these holidays are nothing but a
nuisance to the dedicated .pedant,
We deeply devoted teachers feel
nothing but intense irritation at
this unfortunate summer inter_

the absence of pupils. Most of us
can scarcely wait for Labor Day

This, I know, is the only way I
can fight off that wild desire to get
e bacic into that classroom, and man-'
age, somehow, to get through those
g two gruelling months. I can only
save my sanity if I stick closely
to my program. And I intend to do
just that. Provided, of course, that
I can dispose of the dog and cat,
sell my two children into slavery

Perhaps my real trouble I's that
I'm not used to holidays. As any
weekly editor can tell you, they're
almost non-existent in that game.

But It wasn't Jong until I realized
that sort of thinking was pure
escapism, trying, as it were, to deal
with the gigantic, menacing vaca-

face up to it. There was no easy
