against crime hap paining to a person are not so long parti cularly if he operates a store or other bust ness because of the emotional impact of crime witnesses frequently are unable to giv police accurate descriptions of enm- mlnali another reason for this is that un trained persons just don t know what to look for a chart distributed recently by the rcmp to stores end other public places may

they have been asked to vote on a petition from the ontario wheat producers association that a proposed wheal producers marketing plan be approv ed not being a wheat farmer il is impossible for us to form an intelligent opinion on whether the marketing plan is good or bed that responsibility must reit with the wheat farmers there has been an abundance ol com ment on marketing plans over the past several months and there is no doubt thai those most vitally concerned the farmer producer has been exposed to as much as we have there is however a definite obligation on the part of wheat farmers at this time to cast their ballots at the milton office of the department of agriculture between friday january 17 and january 24 on such a contentious issue as this there should be 100 per cent balloting we can only hope it approaches that figure to be a truly representative vote the wheat formers have been charged with the responsibility of making the choice a walking week why not a national walking week they now have a week set aside for the glory of the jewellers there s a whole week for the promotion of tea and of course there s salad weekamong the numerous other weeks don they know that walking is almost a lost art that strolling is becomingwtually extinct go into the country favorite stamping ground of the walker you won t see anyone strolling ust cars whiznng by it
