SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, AUGUST 26, 1965
Driver Education
A good case for secondary school
boards to sponsor driver training is
made by .Merlin Donald, vice-president
of All Canada. Insurance Federation,
who told Niag3ra Falls, Ont., Rotary
Club that."despite the fact that cars
kill more young people than all the
childhood diseases put together, most
school boards have , no concern with
automobiles other than providing park-
ing spaces for teachers."
It can besaid, of course, that school
boards cannot be expected to teach the
child everything. At some point a line
must be drawn between that which is
the responsibility of the parents and
of the- school.
At the same time, there is no fling- •
tion that is more general or if perform -
Merits Attention
ed,improperly can have -more disastrous
effects on the public than that of driv-
ing an automobile. The daily highway
toll is evidence of the problem.
Every student either drives or will
drive an automObile. If there is a bet-
ter way Of doing die job than aping
the bad driving habits of their parents,
or of the kid down the street, surely it
is ar proper task Of the school to bring
this better method to the attention of
the, pupil.
How can the school that recognizes
• the need of and provides training in
the niceties of present-day homemak-
ing, or in the dozen and one other sub-
jects which today vie for spots on the
• curriculum justify a denial of, driver
training?
Recognizing the Rights of the Public
Is labor losing some public support?
Is there an increasing tendency to con-
sider that some demands being made -
are unreasonable and against the pub--
lic interest generallY?t
That there in indication that this
is so is ,pointed out by the Ft5rt WiI-
liam Times -Journal„ who discusses the
matter in these words:
"Members of the general public, so
often innocent victims when labor dis-
putes cut off services such as,transpor-
tation, have been long-suffering. Be-
cause most. people consider the strike
to be a legitimate weapon in the hands
• of labor, they have 'accepted temporary
loss of their •owiejobs or- extreme dif-
ficulty in getting to and from Work as
• part of thoderit life: • They grumbled,
but did nothing more. ,
"In Great Britain, however, the pub-
lic tempef appears to be quickening.
When crews of London commuter trains
staged a slow -down to enforce their
demands, and stations became crowded
'with Would-be passengers who were
frustrated in trying ,to travel to their
, homes, the crowds began to take it out
on the train crews. Police protection
had to be called in after railway work-
ers were 'thumped' by the angry' train
users. -
"Another example of what may, be.
a changing mood was the reaction of
the public in the .Province.of Quebet
wheri gas station operators went on
strike and the source of fuel for motor
cars dried up over night. So angry did
the motor carowners become, the
strikers gave in quickly and reopened •b
their stations."
Expo '67
The Mitchell Advocate --has been
checking 'into' arrangements under
way for Expo '67 and sees a bumping
together of all Canadians `a.S a,resUlt.
"If you have not Jecqme enthused
over Expo '67 its goal d purpose" as'
defined by our Governor-General should
stir -the heart's blood: ne world—
mankind: one race—man one language
—love.',„ This is a Christian goal and
that an 'attempt is being made towards
its fruition is evident in the plan, 'for
- already seven churches. including Pro-
testant and Catholic. will be housed unl
der. one -roof in the Christian pavilion!'

• A Decision in the
• OTTAWA — A second mam-
moth wheat sale for Russian
gold has set off a new fever of
• election speculation on Parlia-
ment Hill. There is not too
much logic behind the spectila-
tion. While perhaps $225 mil-
lion will be paid bY. the Rus-
• sians for •wheat delivered be-
fore the end of the year it is
going to take a few months for
money to get back to the West-
ern farmer and still longer for
it to be felt in consumer spend-
ing. Chances are that the full
impact of the new money on
• the ,Canadian economy will not
be felt until next Spring. - 11
this is the case. a Spring elec-
tion would coincide with a gen-
erally happy atmosphere some
of which would inevitably rub
off on the Government , in
power.
But Prime Minister Pearson,
it must be said. did little, to
• discourage the speculation be --
fore he plunged into his. West
Coast and Edmonton tour. At
his farewell 'Ottawa press con-
ference he was more cautious
than, usual to avoid any hint of
'the way the wind was blowing
which encouraged some to be-
lieve it was in the direction of
a Fall vote.
Would Parliament meet on
September 27? •
Parliament had been asked to
reassemble on that date and so
far there had been no change
in the schedule.
. Would he meet Parliament on
that date? •
There was no reply except a
gentle slap on the wrist for the
man who aske4,„it.
But Mr. Pearson made it very
plain that he would call an elec-
. tion at any time if he hielieved
it advisable. He was definitely
• not &Ascribing to the views of
M. Stahleir XtiOVilei or SOCial
• Credit Leader Robert Thompson
• that to call it before redistribu.

be immtiral. .1n .fat, he gave
the impression that the electiott
when it does collie will be by
° the ebitstitnericy pattern..

Making
electoral boundaries can become
law. The reports of ten elec-
toral -commissions are open to
local appeal. Then they must
be laid before Parliament and
if there is a sufficient measure
of opposition (it does not re-
quire a majority) they will be
sent back for reconsideration.
At that point, admittedly the
commissions have the last say.
If they choose to make no
amendments there is nothing.
Parliament can do. The final
decision will be non-political.
But. even assuming that ev-
erything goes without a hitch
or delay there will have to be
a reorganization. of the whole
electoral machinery of Canada.
New returning officers will have
to be appointed in more than
174 constituencies, Finally, the
political parties will have to do
their own reorganization. hold
conventions. get committees
and canvassers organized and
generally reshape party ma-
chines to fit the new geogra.
phy.
As Mr. Pearson says, it's not
a matter of having redistribu-
tion operative in terms of a
general election next ,May or
June, At the very earliest it
would be the end of 1966.
Mr: ' Thompson and Mr.
Knowles left 'themselves badly
open to a thrust from the Pear-
son rapier because both had de-
clared on the one hand that
there should be no election un-
til after redistribution, and on
the other, that the Government
had not cleaned its house and
therefore that when the House
of Commons meet on Septem-
ber 27th it shopld be defeat-
ed. No one is likely to take
the .chances of such a defeat
too seriously, but that did not
weaken Mr. Pearson's come-
baCk.
"Apparently," he said, "it is
immoral for the Government of
the day to exercise its preroga-
tive and apPeal ,to the people
for a Vote of contiderite, but
not at all immortal for the �p
position to' defeat the GOOrti-
ment,and force an election be.
for redistribution, That l a
very strange concept of mor-
ality."
Then to cap it off. Mr. Pear-
son concluded:
"Why are you all so pre -oc-
cupied With an election? Think
of all the, things that are going
on in the. country. Have you
read the reports frOm the Bur-
eau of Statistics that will show
how the country is going
ahead?" ;
•Mr. Pearson himself' might
take a second glance at some
of them because' they are rather
a mixed variety, Gross.National.
Product is going up nicely but
unemployment failed to re-
spond to the extent that might
be expected with the impact of
summer .seasonal jobs. The ex-
port picture is strong enough
but has nevertheless flattened
out. As a result, with imports
on the upgrade, Canada is run-
ning another very heavy cur-
rent account deficit in her in-
ternatitinal balance of pay-
ments. •
There is certainly no crisis in
sight. Wheat payments' . will
help the deficit and keep good
times with us for at least an-
other 12 months. Canadians are
experiencing. in fact, the luck
of the, Irish. But if Mr. Pearson
has any thoughts on Whether a
Fall election is to be or not
to be he is keeping them to
himself.

Sugar and Spice
— By Bill Smiley
THE DAY OF REST
There have been fantastic
changes in Our way of living in
the last two or three decades.
Schools are bigger and bright -
hot better. The teenagers
have taken over popular music
and public attention. Televi-
sion tirelessly hurls verbal and
visual garbage in our unresist-
ing faces. 'Murder and rape.
walk city streets, even iii day-
time. Not to Mention racial
strife, the welfare state, frozen
foods, instant everything, and
Japanese motor scooters.
It's a long, long way from
that simple, cut - and - dried,
black -and -white society in which'
most . of today's -middleagerS,
caught in a world revolution,
,were brought up.
If our parents and • grandpar-
ents could be brought back
from their eternal. rest, for a
quick look at our world, they
would probably - go straight in-
to deep shock. They might be
able to cope • with most of the
items above, but there is one
thing that would send them
right around the bend, -- the
change in our observance of
Sunday.
When I was a kid, Sunday,
aside from its religious aspects,
was a day of rest, literally.
There was nothing else to do.
For the average family, it was
church in the morning, .home
for a big noon dinner, flake out
for a nap for the adults, gloomy
poking around house or back-
yard for the kids, supper, and
early to bed. No swimming, no
fishing, not even a game of
cathh. Peace and quiet, how-
ever 'resented by the young.
Only variation in this was the
descent of•a,horde of dull rela-
tives. Everyone then sat around
in Sunday best, in parlor or on
porch, and gassed interminably
about Cousin Elwood's bad
back or Aunt Arlene's asthma.
I grew up thinking that Sun-
day was just a day on which
you couldn't do anything worth-
while. My attitude toward the
Sabbath was that the sooner it
9
was over, the better.
But even then, though I was
'too young to notice, the rot
had set in. Some of the' wilder
elements in the community be-
gan smashing the Calvinistic
gloom. Here and there, a Ian -i-
lly would not only go fer a
drive on Sunday, but smuggle
swimming suits and a picnic
lundh along.. Before you knew
it, the odd family was secretly
listening to Jack Benny on the
radio, 'after supper.
The virus spread like wild-
fire. 13y the time I achieved
manhood, the grand old tradi-
tional Sunday was crumbling
rapidly. :The more reckless
among the young fellows began
hanging around the Chinese
restaurant or going for walks
with girls. Some of the pure
anarchists' among them started
playing tennis and fishing and
alt sorts of unspeakable things.
From there, of course, it was
only a step to wearing, sports
clothes and smoking and hav-
ing a beer on tSunday. Drug
stores •and restaurants began
staying operWto cope with this
new 'wave of wantonness. Sun-
day sports got one toe in the
door, then kicked it ,wide open.
Sunday movies moved in. The
beaches, set up midway rides.
The transistor radio was invent-
ed, along with the drive-in:
- And you know, too, ,what's
happened to the peace and
quiet of our old childhood'Sun-
day. Sports, cars bellow, lawn-
mowers snarl. Traffic whines on
highways, children whine at
beaches. Transistors blare, Bea-
tles -beat. Power boats drum
and throb. The air is sweet
with the pock of 'golf balls,
ricocheting off trees, and wa-
ter-skiers ricocheting off the
heads of swimmers. Beer cans
clang on asphalt. Couples
wrangle on gin and tonic. Ev-
en the birds have to shout
louder to hear each other.
• And all that, Dads, is why
your old man went back from a
rest to work on Monday, while
you go back to work for a, rest.

to compare actual costs of a
