, J P'AGE TrOtR TI!E CANADIAN STATESMAIq. BOWMANV]LL. ONTARIO ?HURSDAY, .M=NE th, 1058 EDITORIALS A Memorable Day ln History '-i j This week marks the first anniversary of the Conservative party's return to power nationally after 22 years in op-. position. June lOth, 1957, was the fateful day which upset the polisters, the experts and the Liberal party, including the mem- ber from Durham. We feel certain that citizens of al political leanings would want to be re- minded of the great event, when John Q. Public came into his own and, individual- ly, assumed importance he hadn't feit for inany years in federal politics. The Northern Spy Forever From the Financial Post we learn that the Northern Spy-to many, king of the apple'wrld-is facing a decline both in Ontario and in Northern New York State where it was originated. Fruit-growers, It is said, are turning ta other varieties believed ta be mare papular or with superiar keeping qualities. Down the Northern Spy may be, but It is nat out and we insist that it will be the glory of Ontario orchards for rnany long years ta came. The Spy is grown at its finest along the shores of Lake Ontario ln Durham and Northumberland Coun- tes, in Southern Ontario in the vicinity of London and in an appie-growing, area on Geargian Bay. Apples are grawn, of course, in Brit- f sh Columbia and Nova Scotia, but for the Ontario apple-eater, none of these "foreign" fruits are in the same class as the good aid Ontario Northern Spy. Finds Newspaper Best A survey canductecI by -a research organizatian for the Province of Nova Scotia has turned up a piece of informa- tion that giaddens our heart. Newspapers continue ta be the most effective advertis- Ing medium. The province was anxious to know what led tourists ta visit the area, and some 3,000 visitars were questioned. The printed word won hands down. Most of the people reported they had gone to Nova Scotia ta visit friends or relatives, or thraugh desire or curiosity. But when it came ta advertisinig, newspapers led the way. Same 15.4 per cent reported they were inf luericed - by newspaper advertis- ing. Magazine advertisements were cred- Ited with attracting 10.3 per cent. The survey said: "Films, radio and televisian programs apparently did flot have an appreciabie effect on the tourists." The value of riewspaper aclvertising is that it attracts the reader as he peruses the pages and it is stili there for him ta came back ta at his leisure.-Stouffville Tribune. On Public Spending -.1 place economy among the most im- portant virtues, and public debt as the greatest of dangers ta be feared. To pre- serve aur independence, we must not allow aur leaders ta laad us with per- petual debt. We must make aur choice etween economy with liberty, or pro- fusion with servitude. "The same prudence, which in private life, wauld forbid aur paying aur own inaney, forbids us in disposition of public rrioney. We must endeavor ta reduce the Government ta the practice of rigid ecanomy, ta avoid burdening the people and arming the Magistrate with a pat- ronage of money which might be used ta corrupt the principle of gavernment... It is incumbent on every generation ta p ay its own debt as it gaes."-Thomas Jefferson.

JAMES, Efflm To those of us who were involved and defeated it was a disaster at the time, but now the event seems far in the past. Politically, it undaubtedly was a goad thing for Canada fram at least one aspect, the average voter naw knows that he can cast out a gavernment if and when he feels like it. We shahl say no mare on the subject, except ta bring the anniversary ta your attention as a day ta remember in Canada's histary - a day that brought great change ta many peaple in aur country. Children and Accidents A survey carried out in England by the Road Research Laboratory an road accidents in which children were hurt, includes mnany points applicable through- out the world. An introduction ta the repart states: "Children are by nature, 'heedless' and impulsive and they cannat be blamed for this. Most of the children can, ta some extent at least, (and when they are aid enough) be taught how ta use the roads mare safely; but for many years they have neither the knowledge nar the experience ta estiinate, for example, the speed and proximity of traffic. Moreover, even when they have the knawledge, their im- pulsiveness ieads ta difficulties. "Children are different from adults and the presentroad system, arganizatian of traffic, etc., is mainly designed for adults. It is important therefore ta de- termine in what way children are specially exposed ta risk in order that, if passible, steps may be taken ta lessen these risks." Litterbugs The Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario has launched a bright campaign against litterbugs, its aim ta- prevent the littering of highways, parks and other public places with paper and waste. It is a campaign that should have the real sup- port of every individual, but the fact that such a campaign is necessary shows that it does nat and will nat have such uni- versai support. We commend it, therefore, toalal other clubs and organizations. A helping hand and perhaps same publicity in the variaus house organs and literature of clubs, companies, societies and organizations might over the years train us as a nation ta be mare tidy-minded. We note, for example, the Federatian of Ontario Nat- uralists has supported the scheme in its FON News. One of the freedoms in' the public mind seems ta be ta chuck paper or lunch- ends or cigarette boxes or beer bottles wherever the hand happens ta be when they are f inished with them. It is a sloven- ly and even disgusting carelessness and also an arrogant selfishness. One thing the campaigns* for order- liness might do is bring some pressure ta bear upon law enforcement off icers. There are, apparently, a great many people ta whom a mere appeal for good manners is a waste of time. Put the law on 'em, we say. Peace, Perfect Pec Pence is mare than just a word used freely by statesmen and politicians, says The Meaford Express. It is more than a smali blob of ink on a piece of paper or n sound an aur lips. It is more than a single nation, a group of nations, the Lengue of Nations or the United Nations. Peace has ta begin within; it has ta came from the henrt and soul. To f ind pence, man must live out the principles of divinely inspired democracy. Man must iearn ta obey the guidance of God. - Pence means a new spirit. It must be more than just an iden. It means people becomingy different. Instend of efforts ta find peace; within himself, in his own "4quiet closet." When an individual f inds it, he has found everythinga. This, we believe, is the destiny of aur age. It will came if we keep hunting and go ta the Right Source. Tax the Cats! Local cats were brought ta the fore in a short article we rend recently, when reference was made ta dogs "pnying" tax- es, while there was no contrai over cats. There are many citizens (and not neces- sarily dog owners) who will dlaim that cats are more of a nuisance and mare destructive ta flower beds and gardens than are dogs, and that the running-at- large cf the Meines should be checked. May be a good id9A, and maybe not. KING FOR A DAY! First Group of Soldiers Leav e Bowmanvillle.

In tact, I'm alarmed andi dlsturbed by the quenulous, nasty, nigglilnt ulinations of qulte a few Canadians against aur aid fnfends and neighbouns fromn south of the border. The obvious resent- ment, the carping and criti- clsmn that has been exprcssed recently toward the U.S. Is worthy cf a jealous Balkan state. It is not worthy ai :& proud and independent na- tion like Canada. Some of aur seli-styled "lcading ncwspapers" show a pasitively venomnous anti- Americanism at cvery oppor- tunit.y.

Well sir, the bcd clothes went one way, while - I went the other, and when I landed an the mat, my feet were rotating at about twenty knots per hour.

I believe it would be just as much a deter- rent to crime ta have the cases repo.rted (the locality where the guilty party lived could be used of course) without names, as with them. I also think it would be a good idea if the police were given as much newspaper pub- hicity for their splendid work as possible - goodness knaws they get littie enough credit. Might I also suggest that for each case of law breaking re- ported you try to print a little item of kindliness or courtesy and especially by those 9.à4he younger generation. You d..
