EDITORIAL COMMENT WiII Be Fair and Equitable 34 Parkway Crescent, Bowmanville. Ontario, October 14, 196. Dear Editer: .Itlu with extreme pleasure that we acknowledge the important and useful raie of the local press in our operation portraying a new concept of promoting and assisting candidates of Council. Our goals, objectives can only be real- ized from total participation cf the e tec- torate in whlch the people of Bowrnan- ville are urged to participate. Every effort on the part of the Committee will be fair and equitable to promote candidates, and ail candi- dates wilI be treated with dignity and respect. Influencing the electorate will flot be part of aur programme, but pro- motion is. W. anticipate excellent res- ults from working directly with the candidates of ail offices. We as a Corn- mnittee will end'eavor to stimulate in- terest by total involvement of the elec- torate of Bowmanville. Regional governmen t proposais. stu- dies, are now underway. Bowmanville Housing, Industrial Development etc., is in an era of remarkable transition, responsibility of local government is becoming increasingly complex and highly technical; local government per- forms a greater service than either the Provincial or Federal goverriments. It is therefore necessary that w. receive nothing but the best legislation. The ratepayers have a responsibility te see that the best Council possible is elected. There is a pressing need for al citizens te take a more direct interest and an active part in the political a!- fairs of our Municipality. Many of us shirk the responsibilities of citizenship and leave it te the politicians. Democ- racy needs the fullest participation of everyone. The actions cf Council dir- ectIv reflect the interest and knowledge cf the citizens. By knowing more about our Council and new prospective memn- bers, we can ail be more effective in helping them te work on our behaif. It is our interest te conduct a ser- îes cf informative, educational presen- tations on various aspects cf our local government. We want the electorate of Bowmanville te know the candidates' ideas, and opinions while we hear the people of Bowmanville ideas, proble-ms and opinions. We are interested in the welfare and progress cf our town. Yours verv trulv, R. Glenn Frv, Chairman - Citizens C:ommittee Reg Willatts - Definite Candidate for Council October, 1969. Dear Mr. Editor: I would lîke it te be known by the citizens cf the Town cf Bowmanviiie that I wilI be a candidate in the forth- comîng elections Decem ber lst, for Council. I feel it is time citizens cf the town of Bowmanville teck municipal elec- tiens into serious consideration. People are very lax when they go te the poils. They do not take intocensideration that the future cf your town is at stake and they vote for the first name they corne te. I feel they sheuld vote for the man who bas our fair town's interest at heart and has ne axe te grind, and wil work for the betterment cf the town. If you are net interested in thîs type of councillor I feel very sorry for you the taxpayer because you are pay- ing the shot and are net getting the breaks you se deserve. It seems very strange te me that we the taxpayer can take our problems te council and corne home with ne answers. Everythîng mnust go te the committee cf the whole which is a private meeting. Are we ashamed to make our decisions in coun- cil where the public can be inforrned cf what là going on or would we sooner do this in secrecy where there is ne - reporter and let the publie find eut on the street our decision? I would like you the voter te think more seriously when you vote on December Ist fer the man that ha. hi. town at heart - net himself. Another point I arn very interested in is the three year term en council. Is this ini the best interests cf the taxpay- er? Will certain councillons have the interests cf the town at heart for three years or will they coast for two years and then with election year coming Up, start te work to look good in the eyes of the public. I as a taxpayer, a voter and a contestant in the forthcoming election for a council seat, would like HI Iowe'en Dear r. Jmes: October 7,1969. Well, another Hallowe'en is just about here and 1 am hoping you will put something in your paper about it. Hallowe'en is ne longer how fun- ny you look and whether your "neigh- bers" recognize ycu - it is how much candy you can get. We live in the Sub-division in New- castle and we f igure we can count on about 150 te, 170 treats for the children around here, but do you know that we get people from downtown and in the country that bning their chiidren in cars te see how much more they can grab around here. Sure we may have nice homes and haif way decent cars but we stili live f rom pay day te pav day like everyone else. We have cbildren te clethe and f eed, we have taxes to, pay just the same as anyone else - we are ne rich- vou the voter to take this mbt serious consideration. I arn very disappointed in councii's decision te turn down the request cf Mr. McTavisb cf Canadiani Tire te delay Cburch Street widening for an extra two months or until after the Christ- mas rush is over. Are the business men cf Bowrnanville aware cf what we are doing, denying this man cf bis bread and butter during the Christmas sea- son? This man bas gene te great ex- pense to enlarge and beautify bis store. This aIse means a greater tax dollar te the town cf Bowmanvîlle. Sbould we net give Ibis man a chance te earn bis tax dollar during the Christmas seasen? I wonder bew the rest. cf the business men would feel if their stores wene on Cburcb Street, Please tbink about this inconsiderate situation, Tn recent months we bave lest a few ceuncillors wbo bave resigned. Has there been dissension in our council? I feel the voter sbould find a council that will work as a unit fer the better- ment cf the town. We have aise lest our Town Clerk in the past. Was this man afraid cf lcsing bis prestige with a new cou ocil coming in te run the town and net the Clerk Controller? 1 feel this man was unjust and belittled himself by taking a stab at council and the public wbo paid this man a wage which was much more than should have been paid. I would like te take this oppor- tunity te apologize te Mr. E. A. Samuels and his committee cf the Ratepayers Association for net being able te attend the meeting held at Memorial Park Ciubhouse due te an injury that has kept me on crutches for quite some- time. I wouid like te appeal te the public te attend the next meeting which I feel is very important to you the tax- payer. Your candidate fer council Reg Willatts a Big Night for Loot er - by far. I imagine yeu have the same greedi- ness in Bowmanviile - Do you think the parents are partially te blame? I wish you would put sornething in your paper about this and penhaps the children weuld just go around in their own district, have a uitIle fun with their neighbors guessing who they are - net just tbink about how much loot they get. This, I think, la what is wreng witb the wenid tcday. There are many wbe agree with me. Tbanking yeu, "No Millienaire" Here's a police comment, quotod by the Ontario Safety League : "Afler you've heard two eye-witnesses' ac- counts cf a car smash, you begin te wender about history." , ,.r c'- *:.- f.. o~ >l..t. s. j f A MacDuff Ottawa Report A Polîceman's Lot OTTAWA-'*A policemnan's lot is not a happy one,"~ ac- cording te an oid song. Most recent commlssioners of th,- Royal Canadian Mouinted Police wouid p roba bly agree - now that they have left the force. But new RCMP Commissioner wil- liam Higgitt seems determ- ined ta disprove the song. Policemen In general, and RCMP commissioners ln par- ticular, have had a diffi- cult time ln recent years. Public respect for arnd ce- operation xith police has fallen steadilv. Policemen on beats say they are sonne- times hindered rather than helped by- vbystanders when apprehendlng a suJspect. Of- ficiais cf police forces are subject te continulng cr111- cismý that t he y h av e tram pIed on a suspect's rights or that thev have allowed theti officers te use brut.allty. The RCMP commnissioners have been ln an especially vulnerahle position. As the ton officers in Carada's only nation-wide police force, they have been an easily visible target for those who wish te attack sonne aspect of police work. The dual nature cf the RCMP's duties bas greatly lncreased the vuînerability cf those occupying the post cf commissioner. To ad- dition to enforcing varlous federal and provincial laws, the RCMP ls responsible for anti-espionage operations ln Canada. In addition te en- forcing varlous federal and provincial laws, the RCMP is responsible for anti- espionage operations In Can- ada. These operations, by their nature, must be secret. 49 TEARS AGO (Oet. 21, 1920) Mr. R. G. Dickinson and Miss Evelyn Dickinson. cf Toronto, wlth their parents here.

Recognizlng Communist China has been a major part o! the Trudeau gevernment's foreign pollcy. The cem- mIssioner prehably realized this when he told newsmen that he did nlot suggest that the prospect cf Chinese spy- lniz here shOLuld prevent establishment of diplomatie relations between the two cou ntries. Commissioner Higgitt aIse spoke out bluntly about the danger posed te Canadian securlty by separatists. Every montb a few sep- aratisîs go te Cuba for training. "A number o! them come hack disulflusion- ed,'- he said. The commis- sioner discounted reports cf separatist guerrilas train- tng ln the Laurentianx.

Commissioner Hlggitt aise spcke agalnst the legaliza- tien cf marijuana.

Commissboner Higgttt sald ha would welcomne legaliza- tien of wiretaps but only under rlgidly controlîed con- ditions, even perhaps extend- lng te a requirement that à civilian authorIty give con- sent. There were suggestions that by trankly stating bis vlews, the commîssioner was looking for trouble. But the new commIssioner gave the Impression that he la ready for an), trouble that camnes bis way and plans to make the best of a difficult job.

I wonder If they couid tell us what they have done ta deserve such a man- date. Except for perhaps two or three counicillors we could do with a compiete new slate. Aft.er ail, two cf the councellors have net had a chance te prove what they can do. Council bas done lutIle to clean up our streets.

Rotund and jolly, he talked steadilv as he drove us in cîrcles and squares, looking for an address. When we finallv found it, we realized we could have walked in haîf the time. And Dennis, striking his forehead v'iolentlv, remarked: "Geez, I shoulda known dis place. I work right across de street dere at de garage two nights a w e ek." But he gave us a refund, which vou'd neyer get in most cities. Perhaps the highlight of the week- end wis The Newlyweds. We were ccm- ing down in the elevator on Sunday. A ver\y large man in bis late fitties, and stoned to the eyehalis, joined us at the fifth floor. He was accompanied by a statuesque blonde, in her early fîfties. AIse stonpd, but a lady.
