georgetown herald pumwmd by horn nmnpapan united 22 main strett soulh gorgatown ontario w c mhn rhimunr thursday july 27hi 1967 editorial comment drinking drivers when one reads of the high incidence of auto accidents attributed to drivers who hove been drinking it leads to the conclu ion thtft our laws ere hopelessly inade quate to cope with this problem educational programs such as the if you drink don f drive type which appear particularly at th christmas season are alright as far as iboy go but what we need a a stringent law which wtll give the pol tee a firm beta for charges and the courts an absolute means of dealing with thou who get behind the wheel after imbibing the fact than a small amount of alco hol may not influence the ability to drive the fact that people vary in the amount of alcohol they can consume without being impaired should have no bearing on the law it should be art absolute offence that if one has been drinking within a set num ber of hours prior to driving a vehicle he can be liable to a fine thank you general a stirring speech by general oegaulla dwr ng his canad an visit in which he hel ped note quebec separatists to demon strations in favour of a separate french canadian state does not become a visiting dignitary of his stature perhaps it will set a new trend and we can invite the president of italy to tell our considerable italiancanadian population mat they should have their own part of canada or the russian leaders suggest that it would be n ce if our ukrainian canad fans had dose ties with their homeland the fiact that t would be phys cally mnd economically impossible to split canaaa into more than one nat on does not seem to occur to the minority who would crea ate have in canada it would be better for a man like degaulie to tell them so m lead of playing into the hands of radicals and trouble makers canada is a land which has become a melting pot of races from which we are evolving our own strong nation ethnic tha law in other words would work exactly as do ouf speeding laws a motor ist may not always follow tha speed limit and at times he can be driving quite safe ly if he exceeds the legal limit bit if he is stopped by a policeman and it is proved that he was speeding he has no comeback he has broken the law and is subect to a penalty a policeman in such cases uses his judgment and does not always lay a charge in a rt drinking law the same judgment could be available to the police and every driver who has had a glass of beer would not necessarily be persecuted just as a motorist can be unfairly dealt with in a minor traffic infraction through bad judgment of a policeman so tt could happen with a no drinking law but would it not be preferable for this to happen occa sionally if it could end some of the high way slaughter being caused today by peo ple who are impaired by alcohol groups have a perfect right to reta n a pride in their european ancestry but no right to demand special privileges other than those granted to frenchcanadians under the bna act there is nothing in our law which provides for one group to dec ide they want their own nation within a nation it is foolish incendiary and revol utionary talk wh ch cannot be allowed to continue it is time we dropped our bickering developed a un ted pride of country wh ch includes our bti ngual heritage and let the world know that we are a healthy happy mixture of races without the problems which have caused trouble in our ancestral homelands from almost the birth of h story canada is unique in that a man s race has little bearing on his citizenship while we are busy prov ng that people who came from countr es once at war can live in har mony s de by side it s our present trag edy that small elements of two races which have i ved together for generations should start feuding the hte efftofg tree sugar and spice by bill smiley buffalowed bill i think i can say without fear of contradiction that 1 am the

our opinion sensible to retain mapr civ c ser vices in what has been traditionally fne commercial hub of georgetown s nee it became a community while this can perhaps be interpreted as selfish by downtown property owners t could also be termed selfish by all the residents a town finances to a large ex tent on the assessment of commercial areas and the downtown area pays a healthy share of the
