downtown district tie asked us to editorialize on littering i my our town is becoming one of the atnwslest towns en the district and points to w accumulation of waste paper and bro ken glass whibh plaguet not only this area t every part of town we would like to disagree but we 4nt although georgetown has no corner df the lirterbug market despite waste cans on main street and af del rex market centre a large pro portion of people seem to drop their refuse wherever the spirit moves them could it be otherwise in time yes if we started with the children we suggest that in public school health classes should stress along with personal health habits and neatness community cleanliness a good part of what a child is told in school stays with him in later life and once indoctrtna ted with the clean up habit we could even tually have a town and countryside which would show off its natural beauty rather than peeking through piles of rubble we far one have stressed this in our family and can boast that our children ne ver consciously throw garbage out a car window or drop a chocolate bar wrapper on the street if more and more people joined the crusade we might still have a main street which didn t look on sundays as if a paper invasion had taken place from the sky and a highway stretch which didn t collect litter from passing motorists along the seed house fence a poor frame for the floral beauty of that firms fields we live in one of the worlds most beautiful scenic regions could n t we all resolve to give nature a hand and not de spoil it with our careless littering for freedom nof against a disregard for the law often the rule instead of the exception was noted in a fine sermon we heard recently minister pointed out such instances bs people objecting to speeding offences checked by policemen in plain domes to statements by union leaders and politicians defying court injunctions against mass pick eting during strikes he did not argue that our laws are always right and should not be subect to change but he pointed out that true freedorru- an isonly possible with a system of laws which protect us aga nst our feller men without law the rule of the ungle would apply property could only be kept if one were stronger than another who cov- summer evening drive eted it ones life itself would depend on your own powers of protection far from being free one would live under constart fear of his fellow man a speeder should not consider he is fighting in a battle of wits with a police man whose job it is to ensure safety on a highway if you re speeding you re speed ing and there is nothing unfair in being checked by a policeman out of uniform picketing laws aa made for the equal protection of labclandjitflft5gement in union disputes anlf jhosi whcturge

beautiful drive we headed out of town past north halton golf club vnd corjfinued on down the check line we branched left on the 5th line drove to the hornby base line men back towards town on the 5th which leads one eventually round stewarttown pond and back to town we revelled again in the beauty of but rural countryside around the jim fish r farm there were dozens of haw trees in full blossom we passed herds of handsome cattle grazing in the fields most farmers have made good use of their equipment to keep large front lawns mowed and land scaped on mam street south chestnut trees tn blossom are a delight to the eye in front of bob alexander s farm we were amazed at the huge fruit trees plantation of a j mccarthy who needs to drive to niagara next year when we have our own blossom festival right at our doorstep but what we noticed most is the influx of city folk who have purchased small acreages and built attractive homes in what were farm woods and frontages along both the 5th and 6th lines there are dozens of new homes most of them designed jo blend with the farm landscape they com plement rather than detract from the rural scene we recommend such a drive to anyone who appreciates scenery we are lucky to live on the niagara escarpment fringe where within a few minutes in any direction you can feast on rural beauty harley to halton weekly observations by dr harry harley mp for halton penment anxiety ridden reck less sensitive moody any par ent knows that probing and sensitive tv programs point out some more of the obvious the teen agers like power boats cars motor bikes but not lawnmowers that hey like music with a big beat that they like members of the opposite sex anybody who is not blind and deaf knows all that what all the fun about then is it a lot of overblown aantatlonalltm in tha mats media i m no sociologist but i have been a teen ager i have two of them under my roof and 1 teach swarms of them everyday so 1 have some qualifications how ever amateurish to speak a piece let s try to look at the whole thing coolly they did inherit a pretty cruddy world their freshness and idealism is soured at every turn by the massive march of materialism man is aiming at the stars with his fco firmly mired in the mud and over all hangs the threat of an mhilation what do they want they erylhing but the public lavato passive resistance from a society ncs constructed by adults for the comfort and convenience of searching articles by sodolog aduits w irus ists point out the obvious that lra teen agers are rebellious re sent hi 1 of adults eager to ex i students would like to lake ovar tha universities and re membering some of tha deplara- bto professors and ridiculous courses i was tubected to i dont blame them theyd like to have the vote at 18 and this might be a good thing it would mean nobody over 25 would dare to run for public office in this way we might get ridpt vast numbers of in competent politicians we now have at every level of goem meht i i theyd like to be able to drink legally at ib instead of illegally at 16 this too in the long run might turn out well the resultant slaughter on the 1 highways might ruin a few in surance companies but at least 1 it would help control the popu lation explosion we hear so much about they d like to be able to non conform though- they do clingt rather frantically to the ultra conformity of the teen cult well uteres nothing wrong with being a nonconformist id love to grow a beard if it didn t emerge as a grizzled stubble that mikes me look like a bow i ery bum on a binge id like to i
