4 Tlhe Canaldian Siýtte -man, Bowmanville, June 1, 1973 D,:EDITRI1A L -CO ME N T Thère's something fish Searching the other evening for a tasty tid-bit for supper, we opened the deep freeze and after a bit of searching unearthed a real Cana- *dian delicacy - two frozen rainbow trout. An)d tasty they were, delicate- :1y broiled with a sprinkling of herbs to bring out a flavor that we have always believed typfifies the bounty of nature in this land. The sad part about those two fish, writes the Editor of -the Wingham Advance-Times, was that we had not personally landed them on the brink of a cold- northern Stream. They were packed in a colorf'ul cardboard carton and individually wrapped in plastic so they would lose none of the flavor in the freezing process. However, the carton contained the information that the fish had be en reared in Japan for a California .packing plant. How fortunate we read the information after the fish had been. eaten! We give full marks to both -the Californian who recognized a mar- ket and had enterprise enough to supply it and the Japanese who were ingenious enough to make fish-grow- ing a profitable industry. But what about ail the Canadian Indians - those Who, are 90 per cent unemploy- ed and living right in rainbow country? We are certainly very short on imagination here. Is it any 'wonder that "foreigners" own such a large portion of our industry and busi- ness? There must be tens of thousands of spots in the Canadian northland where trout ponds could be created at minimal cost. There is an abundance of the right kind and temperature of water; there are no other industries 'competing for labor;- the -Indians Who need the income have an inborn knowledge of fresh water fish - and we leave it to the Japanese Who are short of even the land area for fish ponds to grow and shîp the fi sh to us. 0Of course some 'efforts have been made to establish a, fresh wa ter fish industry here. We wrote about one of them two or three weeks ago -the one that was so badly rnanaged frorn a business standpoint that tons .of fish were totally lost because no one could remember, where they were sent. Perhaps the time has corne to import some Japanese to, manage our fish packing businesses. They evîdently knowwhat they're doing. Whiy Risk Drowning Your Children S "We ail rîsk drowning our children." It's a fact, hard and cold. And coming from Mr. AI Thiessen, National Director of the Canadian Red Cross Water Safety Service, it's a fact every family should rem- emrber.' The causes? More often than not, just plain carelessness. t doesn't take much. A minute of inattention and the child who was playing happily in the sand on shore can be out of sight and under water. What can be done? People who have had the frightening experience of pulling a sputtering child from the water usually. respond with the strictest set of water safety rules known to man. People who have neyer had a 'close call' tend to be a littie lax. They take the short trip back to the car for a magazine or have a snooze on the beach while the children play at the water's edge. As an expert ini the field of water safety, Mr. Thiessen has some advice for famiflies planning on visiting a beach this summer. "As a former lifeguard, I've seen too many parents play Russian roulette with the lives of their children. My advice? Don't just a3ccom-pany your children to the water. Watch them every second. £etter tb t J une 9, 1973 Dear Mr. Smiley, 1 have had a subscription to the "Statesman". for years, one of the main reasons for this is because of your column. Lt is so humorous, and real, it always strikes home and a. person can relate to it. I have always enjoyed it, and a person, needs somnething they caný relate to and get achuckle ýfrom., When you decide to get serious you do that very well Judge Marck performed an instructive public service the other day whenlhe ordlered a three-month j ail terni and twoý,û-year driving suspension for a man who admitted comamitting three drinking driving offences within niine days - while bis licence was suspended. As the judge told the culprit: "M\,ore people are killed by drivers Like you than there are mur ders." The judge is right, of course. The national annual total of murders is less than one fifth the total of deaths blamed on drunken driving. Supervise - stare at- glue your eyes on - children and non-swim- mers of a-ny age when they are in or near the water. Lt only takes a moment for a child to go under.. "Even in supervised areas guard your children yourself. If you take family picnics in unsupervised areas, check the water and beach for broken glass, sharp rocks, holes. Throw twigs into the, water to see if there is a strong current. And neyer swim alone. Candies and chewing gum are land treats. Inflatable toys belong on the beach. They can float away and lure a child into deep water. "Too many rules? There are neyer too many rules when you are dealing with lives. In water, the old' adage 'live and learn' doesnIt work. You have to learn in ôrder to live, "This sumfmer learn the rules of water safety. Enroîl children in swirmingo classes. And if your ownm swimmrming ability could stand some brush up, go too. The' Redi Cross Survival Swimming course teaches you to take care of yourself and your children in water., "Water is a lot of fun and Red Cross Water Safety wants you 'to keep right on enjoying it." 'lie 8c/àor also. Your column on '"How We've Ruined Schools and'Students" was RIGHT ON. 1 hope some of the know it alI " 'Empire-builders" in the system will have read 'it. 1 have two school age children and it is a problem most interested parents are concerned about. Keep up the,,good work. (Mrs.) Lloyd Lowery R. R.li Orono, Ontario of il*ling In other words, for every person killed by a murderer, fiveare slain by drinking drivers. That is not, a theory but'a fact. As long as licensing procedure remains absurdly lax and as long as police have only a fraction ofý the men needed to make la.w enforce- ment effective, the courts' ability to defend the community against drinking drivers is severely limited. Lt can deal only with the, relative few who get caught. -Hamilton Spectator r .......

One is a railroader, one is a lawyer, and the third is pretty ili right now. I've always felt lucky about them. Each of the three is a fine fellow, and we've got along with neyer an unpleasant word or experience between us. That's more than, lots of brothers-in-law can say. Left alone, they'd probably b-e fine, but the womnen -in vo]ved stant getting their knives into each other, ofte'n a coldness develops among the poor devils of husbands. My railroader brother-in-law went to high school with me, and we played football together on a couple of the best teams that ever came out of Perth Collegiate Institute and Lanark County. 11My lawyer brother-in-law work- ed with me on a chain 'gang one summer, when we were students, and it wvas the best dodge-work chaîn gang that ever worked for the Kodak company We lef t no stone unturned in our constant vigil to appear to be w orking when the' foreman came' around. Both thesechaps are around my own age,' a bit tattered around the edges fnom raising families and paying off mortgages, but otherwise in good shape. My third brother-in-law is a bit' longer in the tooth, and I always looked on him as somewhere between a second father and second big brother. Not that he acted either part. He treated me exactly as-most boys would like their fathers to treat them. And he neyer, ever acted the bullying, know-it-allrole of the big brother. Hée treated me as a humîan being. Hie neyer implied that I was a kid and he was an adult. When he was twice my age, he talked as though we wene equals. Hie knew I was pretty callow when I was sixteen, but he neyer let on. We were two men of the world together, and I've, appreciated it ever since. He'd take me fishing when I was a kid. There was no nonsense about him being in charge. We were just a couple of fishermen. One fishing jaunt I still remem- ber with partic 'ular pleasure. We were out in the middle of the lake when a summer storm caught us, No, or few, motors in those days. You rowed. We were as wet as though we'd jumped overboard. We got to shore, with the rain still pounding down. We found a cottage unoccupied and managed to get in. We put up the stovepipes, got a fine going and foraged. There, was a haif can of tea leaves. So there we sat by a roaring fine, drinking hot tea and feeling like Ulysses just homefrom the Trojan war.

He'd take me off to the cottage, when he was courting my sister, and I was about fifteen. What a nuisance I mnust have been, but you'd neyer kruow it, from him.

He was no intellectual, but he had a wit as Irish as his good looks. H-e was always a kind, and, at the risk of seeming maudlin, I would say a sweet man. I hope he reads this and knows how much his young brother-in-law thought of him when he was an impressionable kid, and ever since.
