Unhappy
The impasse between the doctors
Y
in Saskatchewan, and the govern-
ment of the province has reached
serious and unpleasant proportions,
When differences of opinion began
to develop a few months agcy, the
problem was an interesting ma—
llow it is distinctly unfortunate.
The most regrettable aspect of
the entire situation is that both
medical men and government ofti-
VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
We. are well aware that some of
our readers feel a newspaper should
.stick to the reporting of dews only
and leave out all th.e editorial corn •
mens. These persons, however, must
be a minority, for there is no single
feature in Ttie Advance -Tinges which
brings forth as much reaction from
the public as the editorial column.
Not alt the comments are bouquets
—infact some of them are exactly
the opposite. It is quite evident,
however, that whether they like the
editorials or not People do react
t11em.
. The editorial colulnhl is an an
tient and time-honored inst-iIlition,
and remains .the distinguishing fea-
ture which gives a newspaper life
and character. One weekly news-
paper in this district. has dropped
its editorial page, due to the illness
of the editor, and to ns it has lost
all interest.
l,ditorial comment in a small
town weekly differs basically from
that in a metropolitan daily. In the
big city papers, the editorials express
the opinions of the editor or, in some
cases, of the owner of the paper.
Those in a smaller weekly often re--
, fleet the consensus of opinion in an
entire community. The weekly editor
kn'o\vS his readers personally; talks
with dozens of then every week, and
fbr the most- part, expresses their
opinions in hi -s -writing.
This is, nota case of being told
what to pain -the paper. It is merely
that issues in a community this size
are pretty clear-cut and most of the
tliinkir3g •'citizens speedily reach
agreement on what they are striving
to achieve. Thus the local paper is
able to empress the ambitions, fears,
hopes and dislikes of the whole town
and district.
There are -cases, of course, where
opinion is split and when such a situ-
ation arises, , .we at The Advance -
Times favor the practice of present-
ing all the facts as clearly as pos-
sible, and then permitting the read-
ers to come to their own decitiion.
Tr is a case'of allowing the other

Many of the weeklies in this part
of Ontario: tend to he a bit conserva-
tive in their attitude. We don't mean
conservative in political view, blit
rather showing a tendency to move
slowly: and deliberately oil matters
of public interest. This, WC believe,
is a healthy viewpoint in a time when
so matey people want to rush head-
long into large-scale expenditures,
financed by • government grants.
Many of the editors we know carne
elle firm conviction that we are sell-
ing our birthright of personal in-
dependence for a questionable pot
tate of government control over our
daily lives.
Apparently the average publisher
is pretty close to the real facts of
life in the .smaller comn1llnit:ies for
the public buys and reads weekly
newspapers:in ever-increasing num-
bers, despite the counter attractions
of television and slick periodicals,
Circulations of weekly newspapers
have been steadily rising for several

Experiment
cials are beginning to look Callous
and selfish to the general public.
Though the doctors are blamed in
many quarters for withholding their
services to the sick (except in cases
of extreme urgency) they cannot 1)e
t'olllpletely condemned for refusing
to be herded into It government
sponsored medical care plan with
which they are not in accord. After
all, most of these mein paid for their
own educations and are under no ob-
ligation to work for a state enntrol-
led system.
()n the other hand, we must as
`utile that the Saskatchewan govern-
ment has enacted its niedieare legis
lation in good faith, with the welfare
of the general public as a first eon -
sideration.
1 t scetus very clear, however,
that there was some inexcusable
bungling in the preparatory work
which preceded the enactment of the
legislation, The doctors gave ample
warning that they would not .work
under the act as it w'as framed and
the government of Premier- Lloyd
seemed to be so stere of • its own
power that it was willing to chance
cc) -operation by force.
Most enlightened persons today
are 'convinced that some form of
universal coverage for medical costs
is a necessary adjunct to present-day
society, Tn fact, many of the doctors
we have talked to admit that such a
scheme is not too far in the offing,
but the Saskatchewan experiment
has proven to all observers that the
doctor is the key to success in any
such undertaking. There is no way
to force the medical men to partici-
pate. Clearly, a sound medical care
plan lliust he worked out in full de-
tail, and obviously must be accept-
able to the filen who will provide the
ea re.
EXPENSIVE FAILURES
1t would appear that the financial
health of contracting firms needs
• closer scrutiny in future. .Lasts year
the streets in the town of Listowel
were torn up for months on end,
partly due to the delay occasioned
by the bankruptcy of the firm. which.
had contracted to install sewers in
the town. Though the job was final-
ly completed by another :firm, the
residents of the community had to
put up with months• of inconven-
ience. Latest word is that the :firm
which had the contract for surfacing
T,istowel's mutilated streets has .also
failed, Tliis time the job is nearly
clone, so perhaps the town. will be
spared some of the grief it experi-
enced .last year.
The sante firm had the contract
for rebuilding two :stretches of road
in the Centralia area along No. 4
i-lighway. Just how long that stretch
will wait for completion remains to
be seen.
It is evident that closer scrutiny
of a contracting company's financial
resources should be made before
contracts are awarded. It is true that
such firms have to be bonded, and
thus the public is protected against
actual financial loss, but that is not
the only point. The delay which re-
sults from a business failure of this
kind can be costly too.
RIGHT TIME TO BUY
At this time of year the business
life of the community is apt to fall
into the doldrums. People are away
on holidays; the weather is hot and
buyers e thinking more about a
trip to the lake than about the pur-
chases they will have to make sooner
or later.
for smart shoppers, however,
the summer months offer some real
opportunities. Many of the merch-
ants pelt on fluid-5tlinniel- sales,just
to attract more shoppers during the
slack spell, Several stores in town
are offering very attractive bargains
right now, and we know of quite a
few thrifty housewives who have
taken advantage of the sales to stock
up on the necessities for family life,

Just a few random thoughts this
week. After all, you can't expect a
fellow to turn out the deep,
thoughtful stuff that usually ap-
pears in this space, when he's on
his holidays.
Holtdays, he says. What is there
about a relaxed -looking man that
brings out the construction fore-
man in every woman? 1 haven't
been so busy since I worked the
midnight to noon shift on the lake
boats, twenty years ago. i put the
lawn chair out in the morning, and
never get near it again until it's
time to put it away at night,
Every time I turn around, the
old lady shoves a sdishcloth, a
grocery list or a rake into my hand.
Every time I stick my nose out the
door the kids descend on me, wav-
ing swimming suits, badminton
racquets or cans of worms. Have
you tried a zippy game of bad-
minton with a 14 -year-old in the
noonday sun lately, mac? Try it,
and join me in the coronary ward.

And then there's the perpetual
wedding. My wife put in some vege-
tables this year, and you'd swear
that dismal little plot was the
Garden. of Eden, the way she
watches It. Some puny weed dares
stick its head up among her seven
potato plants, and you'd think it
was a rattlesnake at a Sunday
school picnic, the way she goes
after it,
I knew the whole thing was a
mistake in Ithe first place, a,nd I
told ,her so, when she was spading
it up, but she paid no heed. So I
let iter iso the weeding in the gar-
den, and I handle the weaning in
the haLthwOOm.
Another great time -consumer is
the guest: list, We spend hours try-
ing to fit people in. When you live
in vacation country, as we do, this
is just part of the annual summer
deal. But it's rather alarming when
you begin counting the number of
people who are coming to visit
you, and discover you're going to
have a bigger turnover than the
nearest resort hotel. .
Right now, we're booked solid
through July, and have only a few
vacancies in August. The kids
haven't slept in their own beds for
so long they feel, look, and act like
vagrants. I'm never quite sure what
woman is going to he getting
breakfast when I come down in the
morning,

There have been two novel and
pleasant pastimes for the family
this summer, however. In both of
them we're about ten years behind
the rest of the country, but that's
the way we seem to .operate in our
family. We're so busy trying to
keep up with the 'Smileys that we
haven't time even to look around
for the Joneses, let alone keep up
with them.
The first of our new activities is
outdoor cooking. A. few years ago,
we received a free barbecue set
i for buying ten gallons of gas, or 1
something, We haven't seen it
since, but unearthed it while I was
looking for my waders a few weeks
back. It's about 18 inches high and
ten in diameter, so we don't go in
for roasting oxen, but have tried
about everything else.
You should see the little family
gathered for the evening ceremony. s
We don't fool around with those
barbecue starters that you sq.tirt on b
the charcoal, ITeather just throws
some gasoline on it. Then he heaves
a match toward it, and everybody
hits the deck. Not one of the family
has been blown up yet, our char-
eoai burns with a clear, pure flame,
and it gives the food a Certain ex-
otic flavor,
Wlici;t Oita we like about it is it P
saves us from having a big pile of B
dishes to do. One of these drays, if I
pat too much gas on it, it's going
to save us the trouble of eating,
too, however, the saving on dishes
is dissipated during our other noe-
turtial dalliance, which: is watching
television,

There are only two drawbacks to
this, Watching the box makes us
all hungry. By the time the late
movie is over, every dish in the
house is in the TV room, and dirty.
The second disadvantage is that
my wife falls asleep in the middl

off about two hours in her Chair
before we turn off the set, The
