bigger is better a neighboring editorialist summed up an appeal for regional planning with thlt para graph ontarios long adventure in voluntary planning co operation between nefgnboring municipalities has not worked out and pro vincial legislation is needed to ensure that master plans are firm enough to resist end less tampering by local boards and councils now there is call to more bureaucratic control if we fexr heard one the state of planning at local levels is something of a problem a man still feels when ho buys a piece of land that is exactly what he bougnt and with it an ability to make his own deci sion on the yse to which he intends to put it mo longer is this possible now a man buys a piece- of properly and he is told what he can do with it and a great many things tnal he cannot do with ii this of course puts ihe average citizen in contact sometimes violently with the planning authorities that decroe the use of land itka municipality this situation is often discouraging and disturbing lo the land owner it is in con flict with the concept that a mans homo is his castle on the other hand it is designed to protect that mans homo from depreciation by construction of a glue factory in a resi dential area ipo but now were so enhused about plan ning thatweve got lo rtjake it bigger and call it regional evidently the idea is to got the kind of co operation that couldn t be encouraged between municipalities on a voluntary basis we doubt if tho bludgooning effect of legislation on a regional level will be any more successful in promoting co operation it might indeod be the turning point in reletting planning altogether we re disturbed whon we find an oditor- lolisl calling for legislation to ensure that malsler plans are firm enough to resist end- lass tampering by local boards and councils when the wntor offers no suggestion that the planners must first be infallible and roohstlc tighter knots of red tapo rarely servo any purpose other than to provide frequent in- loctions of frustration time for consideration its been a boauliful fall season but those autumn colors herald more than the coming of winlor in about a month it will be nomin ation time and time for some real thinking on the part of electors unenviable as positions on school boards council and commissions are they are positionyttrbo filled with the best brains and the best citizens a municipality has to offer too often municipal elections are a ease of getting enough candidates rathor than a time for keen mftorost in the affairs of a municipality v these are changing times and challeng ing times government is becoming increas ingly complex while ratepayers can become more and more demanding the positions to which citizens are elected are positions of trust and leadership if they are to be com petently filled citizens must give thought to ihoir choice beforoshe nomination meeting the reasons given by people for not ac cepting nomination to the positions of re sponsibility change little over the years the morchant maintains his business will suffer if he adopts strong stands on issuos of a controversial nature and this unfortunately has a measure of truth to it others will sug gest they havent tho time some will feci they couldn t work well with other councillors or nominees a fow will suggest they usl aren t interested but most will suggest that thw neighbor or the fellow down the street ojejfttt main street merchants or the indus- tavist or anyone else will do a bettor ob and so our outlook on municipal admin islration is one of apathy until we get our tax bill or until our street isn t plowed or until our road has a hole in it democracy and local government really deserve a better shake than that no govern ment is closer to the people and thus as im portant as local government its strength is your strength and its representatives are your representatives but its responsibilities aro also yours nominations should not be left to the last instant without advance con sideration why don t you think about it from here and there it is surprising how little control wo have over tho increasing radiation hazard in canada with russia s rejection of tho lost ban on nuclear explosions we ve been getting more and more fallout recorded perhaps there some metnod in the madness of their continued testing haven t heard of very many ban the bomb demonstra tions in russia either and that s certainly whore they arc soon nocessary haven t hpevd any suggestions locally that the municipal water supply bo fluorid ated noticed that hamilton board of health urged fluoridation perhaps it s ust as well the subject hasn t appeared on the local dead giveaway ajfcdlpartmcnt store clerk who played a port in the arrest of a man accused of partio paling in a bank hold up was quoted as say ing trat he was immediately suspicious when the man having made a 49 50 pur chase offered to pay cash the clincher apparently came whenino proffered a 50 bill no less i was sure then said the clerk there was something funny about him well wjf suppose that in ihjs day and ge what with cheques charge accounts credit carets et al paying cash for a 49 50 purchase docs add up to spmcthmg ap proaching suspicious conduct anyway it s a sure way to look conspicuous what puj2les us though s how the bank robbers of tomorrow are gong to be able to dispose of the stuff short of deposrj- ing it m another bank scene it seems to bo one in which the argu ments produce more heat than light noticed where the death penalty has been abolished again in new zealand it had been abolished in 1941 but it was restored again in 1950 despite debates on the subject in canada no abolition action has been taken although many death sentences have been commuted to life imprisonment there s something bar banc about the death penalty but in some cases its brutality barely matches that of the deed that led to the sentence in these days of nuclear threat and the feeling that the first bomb might trigger the end of civilization we should perhaps re member that it would not be ihe first tune that secuons of civilization have been re moved recent evidence found in iraq shows that the modern type man lived there moic than 25 000 years ago sure thing t recent public opinion poll reports that for the first time there wore more n iys than ayes in reply to the question do you th nk it makes a great deal of difference wh eh political party runs ihis country no 46 per cent yes 44 per cent no op men 10 per cent the one sure way to got a very different kind of answer to that par t cular question of course would be to ask it 12 months after the communist party had taken power n canada but since by then
