Georgetown Herald A Division of Ham Company limited Main Georgetown Ontario WALTER BIEHN Publisher THURSDAY APRIL 30 th 1970 OPINIONS OF OTHERS The Value of Sunday Milton Canadian Champion Support for retention of Sunday as a day of rest li increasing and the bass for the support extend beyond the church groups commonly silled In such a cause is Interesting to see from the annual report of the Lords Day Alliance of Can that an Independent committee com posed of officials in food store chains labor unons trade and consumer organizations and churches presented some views on the subject of Sunday The committee affirmed that Sunday business would deprive many workers of res and freedom from work on the parti cular day of the week when maonty of people ere customarily at leisure would take working fathers and working mothers away from home on the common restday and would deprive children of parental company and It would add to the ng cost of business and this would inevitably lead to further Increase In the cost of I Debt to the Aged Owen Sound Sun Society owes aged people a great debt They should not be robbed of their as members of the human race to d care comfort freedom as far as possible from suffering which are the due of any person Most need care con beyond that possible In private homes Many are ms of sen ft The Alliance Is being realistic too when it suggests that for who attach little or no importance to religion the next use of Sunday Is undoubtedly that of rest and recreaton best taken in family Sunday will continue to be under attack despite shorter work weeks and supposedly more lesure hours There always be those who will eye the extra day s production or revenue as the decid Ing factor Even those who see in Sunday sport great rewards may yet find difficulty as Sunday Itself become used for other purposes Were self enough to hope that thinking people will continue to regard Sunday at an oasis In a week already mud died with frenz activity The value of common day Is clear but continue ton needs constant vgilonoe If It not to bo wrested from to the disadvantage of pat t would seem for Institutions such as the very lovely and efficient Mac I innon Nips Hospital is be taken to take care for such people as evidenced by the hand some Gateway Haven at Wiarton But the program is entirely too little and for a great many people too late Are those in the latter category mere to be disposed of Need Municipal Reform Brampton Daily Times Reform appears to be the name of the game as the provincial uses the first prov municipal conference to its financial aims for the province Mun Affairs Minister outlined four mam areas of reform aimed at financially strengthen ng local govern ments He told delegates province recog that local government has a v role to ploy in our rapidly evolving It is in fact the single most important affect people And ha the province also role the one wh will most recognizes that the mun have been hampered and frustrated by a number of constraints Including the lack of f nancial resources and the lack of a municipal or gamzat structure that can cope w th the needs of society the 1970s We cannot wait however for gan zation to be completed before we start to seek reform of munic pal finance Mr McKeough d He suggested four ma n areas of re form to provide increased financ strength to local taxation reform of pal prov transfer payments reform of muni capita f and reform of nance admin Mr said that before com and reform of local tax can be undertaken it Is essential to establish a uniform table and cons tenl local tax base by reassess all real property at current value We suspect that most municipal dele- gales the conference view on of provincial and the call for munic pal cooperation to achieve them with mixe feelings Theyve seen IN MAIL sessment at market value skyrocket taxes to point where many property owners have no where they will find funds to pay them Brampton is the only Peel munic pallty remaining to bo so reassessed end that is now bong undertaken Delegates have also seen central ized boards of on contribute to the ris ng tax burden end view with suspicon further centralize on of administrat on They heard suggestions for cop ng w th the problem rang ng all way to ng respons ty for education to local counc Is which they eve would have a greater appreciaton of ability to raise the necessary funds It is diff cult however to see how such steps could help the government reach its of rescuing municipals from the morass of and mach nery wh ch have hamstrung icpil reform Our Queens Park Don OHearn reports that on Minister William for Peel used Peel at the conference yesterday to the objectives of the governments in reorganzaton of on Mr said that when the Initial ages of the program had been started w of township schools In 1964 the goal had been to give equality of education to all students In tha province For example he d we wanted to see the children in and Albion Townships were able to get the same cation as those In the urban centres Ho admitted that the goal was not possible to be reached at once But he sa t is now emerging And perhaps that best sums up the proposed reform currently being outlined the conference Writer Questions Religious Teaching in Public Schools Baylor Cres Dear Sir lm afraid have missed any previous letter in your Bag re Religion in the schools bill the letter from Mrs Cord I found very hypothetical She Is assuming the Christian region is the right one only because she has been taught to think so I do not wish to criticize her religious beliefs but I do not feel anyone a re ligion be forced on an other The world of today hat so very problems why must add to them by standing so firmly against change Lets face It we just don t know If Christian faith Is truth We have only been the of our birth Tho only way we can reach truth la by studying and questioning as many rolig Ions as possible and always keeping our minds open for change Wars have been and are be fought over religion Our population Lb steadily Incroas ing eventually leading to our environments doom because of religious attitudes on birth control Men women and children have died In trallon camps because some one has disagreed with their beliefs Religion has played and Is playing a very significant part In our world today We must teach our children to be aware comes understanding and with this understanding may they find togetherness Eileen Georgetown Herald A of Home Company Limited Georgetown Ontario Publisher Garfield MtOUvray
