4--PORT PERRY STAR, THURS, OCT. 3rd, 1963 Editorial Viewpoint By LEILA E. HVIDSTEN. Congratulations, Doc. Dymond Although the results of the provincial election have been known for a week now, this first issue in October is the first opportunity the majority of weeklies have to comment on it. And the results were such that com- ment must be made. Unquestionably the increased majority - given the Robarts' Progressive Conservative government is proof that Ontario residents have been satisfied with the re- cord of the past four years and satisfied, too, that its © programs will continue. Each and every cabinet minister was returned and other seats picked up. With such a mandate, the Robarts government has been given every opportunity. to pursue their various programs and to prove they are deserving of the voters' confidence. In our own riding, Dr. Matt Dymond received an overwhelming vote and much as this paper will remain nonpartisan in politics we believe, in all fairness, he is to be warmly complimented on his re-election. This we do now with no hesitation for, regardless of our political affiliations, our whims and our sour-grapes criticisms, there is no gainsaying the fact that we have been repre- sented well over the past several years. Dr. Matt Dymond in his comparitively few years as political representative of Ontario Riding held two im- portant portfolios before becoming one of the best known and most progressive ministers of health ever to hold that post. To-day he is regarded as one of the most import- ant ministers in government. ol wants, or the demands of all of us--no man ever will. But Doc Dymond has served us to the best of his ability and at all times. - He has been a hard-working, efficient and honest representative, ready to make known his stand on any question at any time. And regardless of whether we hold to the tenets of the Liberal, New Democratic Party or Conservative Party, we must admit that this Riding has been well represented by Dr. Matthew B. Dymond. aT ; Congratulations, Doc., on your re-election. Gun Happy Hunters This season as in others, trigger-happy huntsmen let .loose on the land are causing damage to private proper- "ties and putting fear of a stray bullet in the mind of many a landowner. When duck season was but days old, pa- thetic reports came drifting in of tame birds slaughtered on private ponds. There is no need for such heedless shooting. Those who would shoot half-tamed birds must be insensible to both the fowl's feeling of safety and the warmth of feel- ing engendered over the the months by those feeding and protecting them. This type of shooting cannot be as- sociated with the word "sport" and indeed, in one case was strictly illegal and therefore punishable by law. It is incidences like the above that have done a great deal to breed ill feeling in recent years between hunter and property owner. 'For in their search after game, hunters have broken down fences, wounded or killed do- mestic animals and damaged farm buildings. Little wonder thenithat more and more "No Trespassing" and "No Hunting" signs are appearing on the edge of pro- perties throughout the country. Ll A little more thoughtful consideration on the part of hunters would do much to refoster good relationships and would eliminate incidences like~ that. ahve If hunting is to be considered a sport, then hunters should endeavou to act as sportsmen. It should be as simple as that. of course, no man has ever been able to satisfy the ° SRR CH -- Port Perry Star Co. Lid. Serving Port Perry, Brooklin and Surrounding Areas WM.

And about 10 years from tonight, it's probable that I'll never have had one since. Both the dealer I bought it from and I were disappointed, I think. I expected him to give me a chance to "dicker", some- thing you're always supposed to do when you buy a car. And he expected me to try to beat him down on his price, some- thing you're always supposed to expect when you sell a car. Nothing happened. - He offered me more than I had ex- pected for my old car, and I was so flabbergasted, 1 just said, *"0.K.", leaving him flabbergasted. The entire transaction took 19 minutes. It could have been in nine minutes. The remain- ing 10 was spent in standing around waiting for the other fellow to do some dickering. ~~ My wife let me down rather badly. She was there, and I | . expected her to do most of the talking -- you know raising hell about the color, price, upholstery, mileage. I thought she'd go over the car with a magnifying glass, as she used to do when we'd buy one' of those $495 specials. I fully anticipated that she'd find a bubble in the paint, or a smudge on the floormat, and raise cain. She didn't even want a different color. ; : * * 4 / . Maybe we're both getting old.. Even I, who 'have never cared any more about a car than I have about a lawn mower, used to have a bit of the old horse-trading spirit. I used to kick the tires. I used to look under the hood, though I hadn't a clue as to what should be there." I used to slam the doors a couple of times, and look in the trunk. ; 2 This time, I just leaned on the counter, across from the dealer, both of us embarrassed, waiting for some action .In common. decency, I drove the thing for three miles, when he insisted .-, . I didn't feel a thing. No ectasy. All'T wanted to do wag get home for dinner. ~~ i TH BE We clinched, the deal, with him thinking that alot of the fun had gone out of selling ears, and me thinking that it was going to be a pretty awkward session with the bank manager. 1 Do you know something? Those banks have got ald and lazy in the last 10 years, too. * * p= 4 * ; 1 : 3 1 I'll never forget the first time I applied for a loan. -I felt exactly as I used to feel in the air force, when I'd gone over the fence for an unauthorized week-end leave. Up in front of the CO Monday morning. Not a leg to stand on, and about -to. get it in the neck The bank manager used to scowl as 'yon sidled in the door, "Siddown," he'd snarl, cribbling furiously on documents obvi-' ously designed to send you up the river for six years. You blurted your carefully planned story: that you ab- solutely hadda have $200 to put a new roof on the house, be- cause your smadest child had almost drowned during the latest rainstorm, "Got any security ?" shaking his head gravely. Of course ~ you didn't have. People who need small loans never have se- ° curity. You told him your grandmother had mentioned 'that ste planned to leave you $300 if you never married, or stopped drinking, or some such. ' * * * The interview ended with you on your knees, thanking the bank manager, and promising to cherish him forever, because he had loaned you $200 out of what seemed his own pocket and some wild caprice of generosity in his nature. : - ~ Nowadays, you walk into the manager's office, and he treats you just as though you were a human being.
