THE HERALD Home Newspaper of Hills A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Main St South Georgetown Ontario CAMERON THF WHERE IS IT Weekly Day Of Pause Long ago in the provincial government requested the Ontario Law Reform Com mission to study and review Sunday legislation The commission did its task thoroughly and the following year presented an extensive page report It proposed that Ontario should provide legislative support for a uniform weekly pause day for as manv persons as possible and set out the way that this might be achieved There would be exceptions to provide essential and recreational services but the exceptions were clearly defined Drug stores for example could be open for the purpose of selling medicine but not to operate as a small department store under the disguise of being a drug store The commission felt that such legislation was justified on secular rather than religious grounds and that feeling was reflected in its suggestion that the term Lord Day should be replaced in the Judicature Act by Sunday In Canada it is the responsiblity of the federal rather than provincial government to protect religious interests by such means as the federal Lord Day Act But protection of the interests of working people has always been a part of our tradition of Sunday legislation and that is what the commission was concerned about One of Die earliest such laws promulgated by the king of around the end of the Seventh Century fined a theowman slave if he worked on Sunday But if he was working at his lord s com mand then it was the boss rather than the worker who was fined The province however does not seem anxious to implement its commission report For It has issued a green paper outlining four options before It One is to adopt the proposals of the commission a second is to up date existing laws and act only to curb flagrant abuses a third in part passes the buck to municipalities and the fourth would liberalize Sunday shopping laws The wedge was driven into the quiet family Sunday long ago and it seems inevitable that it will strike deeper and broader Just this past year for example the local minor hockey association quietly too quietly as far as some parents were concerned withdrew a bylaw that games would not scheduled to interfere with church It had problems finding enough ice lime for everyone but its action is typical of the broader use that Sunday is likely to be put to The danger is that such broader use will pave the way for employers who want to make an extra buck that more and more employees will be pushed or pressed to work on Sunday People glibly talk about the family being an important social unit about the basic relationships of our society being found there But if father s day off is Tuesday mother s Friday and the kids get out of school on the weekends then members of a family may never get time to spend together A uniform weekly pause day provides more than just a day rest from work it protects the family relationship itself The Ontario Law Reform Commission has made workable proposals for such a pause day and the provincial government should heed its recommendations Windmills Of Mankind Around the world the energy crisis is having a varied impact In the small Arab state of Abu Dhabi for instance people must be wondering what to do with all the millions that will be coming their way have estimated that if present energy trends continue Abu Dhabi will enjoy a per capita income of as much as annually by the year 1980 In many poorer lands the oil shortage will create hardship and perhaps even food shortages and starvation In the affluent nations there will be more unemployment than before more problems more cases of frayed tempers But in the long term humanity will overcome the energy crunch just as it has past crises There are many ways to generate energy some of which seemed uneconomical because of low oil prices but which today are more attractive Poor as well as richer lands could build more power plants using water to turn the turbines The potential of nuclear energy of power created by ocean tides of wind propelled generators is being studied by scientists in many countries Fermentation of animal waste has been found to be an excellent source of methane gas in some developing nations Taiwan has installed thousands of simple power plants costing only 100 per family The windmills of the human mind are forever turning far more rapidly than did the old windmills that provided energy in the past Mankind need only look up at the to see the vast reserves of energy that exist If to some 1974 will seem bleak year to others it will be a year of hope For it will bring new ideas new methods new machines that will help us produce energy for the world four

late spring and summer months almost per cent of drownings occur winter From November through March 1973 almost 120 persons died by drowning Canada Many of these fatal accidents took place on ice

which whirl in seems to have caught up with us in a con As I point out school was to be closed some years ago because there was on a multl grade basis and students were be the benefits of more specialized classes and in Now after delay imposed by parental op position the school will lie the students will be to go into grade pods so superior to those old fashioned in dividual classes and teachers of a hear ago When board decides to introduce options to the Multiplication Tables would I am sure have Ihc appeal of novelty for many of Hie students The content f such a course would not be important but in leaching it a great op portunity for developing and applying research skills would present itself The value of teaching research skills instead of the old fashioned has already paid off in at least one direction Youngsters today certainly do not sit back and iccept parental authority without wanting to research the background for il That the junior generations of taxpayers say from up fail to question the authority of their political and educational mentors more effectively is probably due lo the defective nature of their education In that respect f would welcome your further study and more detailed and constructive criticism of our education Opposition to the Board s policies seems to be voiced only by disgruntled parents or by teachers organizations both of them rightly suspect of taking only a partial view of the board grand overall objectives There is no provision in our new regional set up in or for municipal purposes for a formal opposition and we shall
