t-v,-s~..* There is every indication that this Year's Town Council election in Bow- nmville will be one of the most in. teresting batties in many years. AI- ready, several names have been spread around (of people who are planning ta contest the various offices, including the mayar's post. This in itself is quite a departure from the norm because it ,must be at least 15 years since there was an election for mayor. To help stimulate interest and bring out candidates of worthwhile stature, The Statesman is throwing open its columns to anyone who is seriously con- templating letting his or her narne stand for one of the council offices. Last week, Councillor Ken Nicks, rumored ta be a prospective candidate for mayor, pub- Iished a report ta the peop.le outlining hîs actions on council. Another one is Included in this edition. It is hoped that other members of council will fol- low suit ta let the citizens know, before Nomination Day, what they have tried ta do during their term of office. Also,' those who may feel they could do a better job on council, should start their campaigni now, through this newspaper sa the public will become famili4r with their ideas and possibly 'their com- plaints about the way things have been A hopeful sign that somne of the problems of alcohol may be met cornes from a U.S. government -sponsored study. The report of the Co-operative Commission on Alcoholism, conducted A with a grant from the National Insti- tute of Mental Health, calîs for a nat- ional policy ta promote drinking in a family setting. The age limit for buying or drinking alcoholic beverages ought j ta be 18 - flot 21, says the report. The whole proposai is aimed at changing the traditional patterns of drinking in Americans. The same pat- terns exist here. It is true that the 21 year limit Is "largely unenforceable" as the re- part states. And the law in this regard is s0 ignored as ta, be ridiculous. in a drinking society (and make na mistake, most people want ta drink) we are not encouraging yaung people jta handle alcohol the , way it shauld be handled.

There will be no charge for this service that is being affered to stimu- Jate interest in the forthcoming election. Word was received this fl'lrnin g that the service clubs and the Chamber of Commerce are joining forces to hold a meeting between Nomination Day, Nov. 23rd and Election Day, Dec. 4th,' when alI candidates will have an oppor- tunity to present and defend their plat- forms. This is an excellent idea- and should tic in nicely with the commit- tee who have been w#orking hard throughout the year, trying ta find and encourage citizens ta 'run for these important offices. Let's hear from you present mem- bèrs of council and those who have decided ta contest any of the seats. In- cidentally, because these reports ap- pear in this newspaper, this does not necessarily mean that The Statesman is1 supporting any individual candidate for council, deputy reeve, reeve or mayor. We are merely trying ta create as much interest as possible in the election, so the public will have an op- portunity ta judge for themselves, the capabîlities of the candidates who will be presenting themselves for election. àl alcoholic beverages in their children by serving drinks at home are breaking the law if their sons or daughters aren't yet 21. - We should have learned long ago that it is foolish ta force drinking underground. We cannot have a society in which some 70 or 80 percent of us use beverage alcohol yet expect aur younger people ta refrain until 21. At 2.1 a man can be through college, pilot a million dollar aircraft, be married with a family or have worked up toaa good job. But until his 2lst birthday the law says - no alcohol, sonny. Drinking, or rather the way too many of us drink, is one of aur more seriaus problems. Do we perpetuate this problem by sticking ta useless leg- islation and harmful ideas about alco- hol? The answer is, probably yes, be- cause drinki.ng shows no sign of being less of a problem. The solution is ta, modify. the pattern of alcohol consump- tion and the US. repart sounds like common sense. -.-Renfrew Advance I did not think in mine ow.n seifishnoss'" Thine house is a shelter for all who seek!"

This weck 1 was asked, as one of y' six Canadian Parliamentarians, to meet n with an equal number of Memnbers of ýt c the Parliament of Poland for an ex- change af views and information of mutual benefit ta aur two countries. My particular assignment was in the constitutional area and I outlined to, aur Poiish counterparts the details of Canada's federal system and how we have operated under aur constitution for the past 100 years. The subjects of commercial rela- tions and immigration were discussed in addition ta constitutional matters. Canada and Poiand exchange most-fav- ored-nation treatment on the basis of a pre-war Convention of Commerce. In addition, Poiand concluded in Novem- -ber 1963, a long-term wheat agreement with Canada providing for the pur- chase of 1.2 million metric tons of wheat *over a period of three years. Wheat continues ta be our iargest export ta Poland and in 1966 aur exports reached a total af nearly $37.5 million, approxi- mateiy three times greater than aur imports from Poland. (Exclusive of wheat, however, the balance would be ini Poland's favor - aur exports for 1966 tatalling $9,021,887 against imports from Poiand of $13,756,977.) Although a renewal of the wheat agreement was signed in Warsaw in September 1966 by the Minister of Trade and Commerce, M'r. Winters, the Pales expressed con- cern about the difficulty af credit avail- ability in connection with the wheat purchases. Immigration xvas af particular in-z terest and the Canadian representatives1 urged the Pales ta consider permittingt mare ai their countrymen ta emigrateE q i GIVE COPS A BREAK As Gilbert and Sullivan tunefully pointed out a gaod rnany years ago, "A police- man's lot is seldom a happy one." And it certainlv hasn't grown any happier in the interim, as even a casual glanco thr.ough the nows- papers wil] tell you. Every- where, policemen. are un- happy. In the cities, they talk of strike action. in small towns, they rosign right and left, usually in a cloud of recrimination. Why are they fed up? For a whole lote of reasons. It's only surprising so many of them stay at it. First of ail, they are poor- ]y paid. Thià fine. old tra- dition, prabably dates back to the days whcn a Cap was a "dumb flatfoot"l, lucky ta get a job wlth same secur- ity invalved. During the Do- Pression, the town Cap was envied becaiuse fie geLe a pay oheck, bo It ever so humble, every iveek. Secondly, they must cape with continued interference from elected officiais, or local big shots. It might ho the Chairman of the Police Commission, more concern- ed with paring bis police budget than with the quai- .aty of the Policeman. Or it might ho the fellow who belongs ta the same service club as the mayor, and ex- pects s p ec i a treatment, whether it's a parking ticket or drun k driving charge. This is bard ta take. Anothor tbing that bugs them, oven those who lîke the work is the bours; work- ing holidays; spoclal details; calîs in the middle of the rnght. And, of course, there's the job itself.

The Pales point out that like Canada, Poland has, since the war, transformed rapidly from an agricul- tural ta an industrial economy. Imme- diately after World War II, 62% of the Pales were engaged in agriculture. 'to- day that has been reduced. ta 171%. The Palish Parliamentarians pointed out that with this rapid industrial ex- pansion it is difficult ta lot more people leave Poland because that country, like Canada, has a shortage of manpower in- the skilled trades.-y-. The Canadian attitude toward Pal-'« and was apparent at the United Nations General Assembly in 1959 when Can- ada supported Poland's candidature for the "Eastern European seat" on the Security Council. This attitude has been reflected alsa in the consultation which bas taken place bath in Warsaw and in Ottawa on U.N. and other inatters, and in Canada's contacts with Poland as ca-member (with India) of the In- ternational Commission for Supervision and Contrai in Vietnam. Most recently Canada bas supported Poland's' appli- cation ta become a member aif the General Agreement an Tarjifs and Trade (GATT).
