Salute To Past Yes, it was an interesting per- iod in the development of Oak- ville, and Gerry Mitchell and his News, in their own way, played a fine part. This week, some 40 years after the News edition in question went to press, the Journ- al publishes its first issue to be turned out in the old News build- ing. It is reassuring to have the ghosts of Gerry's type termites flitting about, reminding us of the efforts of those hard working newspapermen of the past who helped pave the way for the thriv- ing Oakville of today.

The idea that a person of fifty is too old to be employed--one which seems to be held by many great business organizations, is surely as stupid as it is unjust. That a man who is still capable of working should be denied a job and condemned to walk the streets and beg or starve is noth- ing short of criminal During the past half-century medical science has come for- ward with discoveries that have greatly extended the life-span of the individual. People in what are called the "upper age brackets" are far more numerous than they have ever been. But added years of life are an extremely doubtful benefit to people who cannot find a means of livelihood, who must drag out their latter years as pit- iful indigents and objects of char- ity.
