v tfwp wtlccine warden j dinner we fen with local municipal officials and ajl acton citizens in extending a warm welcome to guests at the annual wardens dinner the wardens dinner has a loig history ifl the traditions of halton county this years dinner the first time ever held in acton is in honor of warden h h hinton it is his de cision this years dinner should be held in his hmtte town of acton mr hinton actons reeve was chos en for th top office in the county early this year his keen interest ir municipal affairs aa well as his devotion to the business jind promotion of the county during- his term of office are being ac knowledged it has been generally recognised that the number attending this traditional event had become unwieldy in recent years perhaps the costly dinner would have to be eliminated entirely to avoid the problem of cutting the guest list however warden hinton has added to the duty of host the task of agreeing to a substantially lower guest list he is to be commended for this we are sure county councillors mun icipal councillors and officials will thor oughly enjoy the dinner tonight in the wardens fine town editorial page hatuwen uitkout accident when youngsters are out in costume on october 31 running from door to door for shellouts and unicef pennies theres a special traffic hazard which calls for special wisdom and tact from parents sure halloween is great fun some times its so much fun that kids forget about gelling hurt until they do its so natural for a young child to dash across the street without looking for cars coming if hes excited and thinking about the loot ahead the ontario safety league suggests makeup instead of a mask which makes vision difficult and a costume motorists are likely to see see that costumes are easy to move ancj walk in not high heels and tight skirts for little girls pre- tvending to be big ones or dresses or cloaks long enough to trip on and most important remind him about the traffic before he goes out stress looking both ways before crossing and the fact that he may be hard for drivers to see leave your porch light on so young visitors wont tumble and drivers drive a lot more cautious ly on halloween night than you norm ally would theres always a chance that some small ghost may forget to be care ful and then his chance depends on you foe people uant a amall tcm as thoughts are turned locally to consideration of a larger municipality it may be wise to reflect on the following comments by harry golden in an ameri can publication on small towns and peo ple americans are really going back to the small town i read recently what the late arthur schlesinger sr had to say about xertia ohio he loved xenia i discount trto fact that there was no medi care and mo unions- people worked 60 hours a week for 20 cents an hour but with it all in the small town there was a degree of happiness and relaxation the people knew each other and they understood each other it is hrue the family doctor had no miracle drugs in his black case he lacked knowledge of the vast research which would hawe improved his attempt at diagnosis but at that time the big city doctor was no better off their big rem edies were cc pills all had to wait for the crisis in a pneumonia case they let nature take its course hoping the pa tients heart held out the family doctor in the small towns provided something we cannot put into the record books when he entered the house- to -see- a sick or dying patient everyone felt bet ter there was hope there was confi dence his appearance banished loneli ness and fear even in the big cities there was much emulation of the small town we lived for a time in new york yet we all made our neighborhood into a small town we knew each other we all went to the same cigar store and the same drug store and the same tammany hall club we knew the jobs we held who was in need who got fired and who had a problem with drink mayor obrien an interim mayor of new york lived there and was part of this small town and now in these thousands of su burbs which encircle our big cities wc have this small town again the people want a recognisable fire house- aneasily identifiable police chief and easily identifiable neighbors jejje own aaija a prayer jesse owens one of the roost famous of olympic heroes was recently the guest of honor at a track meet in quebec at a banquet that day he gave a very mov ing speech which concluded with a pray er a prayer that will bear remembering by everyone be he in- pierrefonds or acton build me a boy oh god who will be strong enough to know when he is weak and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat but humble and gentle in victory build me a boy whose wishes will not replace his actions a boy who will know thee and that toitknow himself is the foundation stone of knowledge send him i pray not in the path of ease and comfort but the stress and spur of dif ficulties and challenge here let him learn to stand up in the storm here let him learn compassion for those who fail build me a boy whose heart will be clear whose goal will be high a son who will master himself before he seels to master others- one who will reach into the future yet never forget the past and after all these things are his this i pray enough sense of humor that he may always be serious yet never take himself too seriously give him humility so that he may always remember the simplicity of true greatness the open mind of true wisdom the meekness of true strength then i his father or his coach will dare whisper i have not lived in vain commenting the news and choniclc of pointe claire quebec noted the re action of one young athlete to the great track stars words it is too bad we couldnt have a talk

ttii last column the debate has continued osi medicare two amendments hue been proposed b the opposition the first proposed by the conservatives asked that live conditions be met before medicare was introduced this would hac delavd medicare indefinitelv it was defeated easily a further amend ment proposed by a quebec independent would have allowed quebec to have its own plan and be paved out of federal funds as though thc were in the federal plan this loo was defeated it has been suggested that i make a few- remarks concerning integration ot the armed services 1 rn pleased to do this and i m in faor of this plan prior to this- change the three services each re ported separately to the minister of de fence or more precisely the three service chiefs had the right to report directly there was of course the chiefs of staff committee for the purpose of coordinat ing the material from the three services thcv could report direct to the minister and they or ten did the net result was that there wa no real unity of planning different services planned tor different kinds of war at the same time there was no agreed strategy on which all services could base tticir plans in another respect top the canadian taxpayers were not get ting the best value for their tax dollars that was a great deal of duplication and triplication among the services this was in fact pointed out by the glassco commission- the flrm fundamental change in de fence policy was the proposed develop ment of a wellequipped wehtiaincd mobile lorve and the acquisition of aero planes and ships to transport it to anv ol the worlds trouble pots where inter vention of one or more of us units would be in the canadian national interest the second fundamental change was in defence organization it was agreed that we integrate our defence hcadquar- tors and replace the three chiefs of slaft and their committees b a single cruet of defence staft and one functionallv oriented defence staft as that first step towards a single unified defence force tor canada there is no clear dividing line be tween integration and unification thcv are part ot one plan the integration of the three services at the headquarters command and base levels was vuthoried bv an amendment to the national defence act in 1964 since then reorganization has been implemented in a step -bv- step planned manner the overall policv established bv the government but the detailed implementation b the servtce- as it should be the next amendment to the national defence act will again be permissive legislation this time to allow the creation of a single armed force unification assuming the legislation is passed this fall will not becorne a total reality until approximately 1970 when all the planning and implementa tion is completed thus the whole pro cess will have taken about seven years this can hardly therefore be called a rusjicd program without suitable plan ning ol lung vour txxlv is crawting with hot and cold
