We doubt if the Town Council in al its wis4Ômi could bave. forseen the amaz- 'irig improvement in appearance and util- ity whicbh. hs resulted from the' erction cf riew street. sigus 'througbout Bowman- 'ilé. Comments from'aid time residents and visitors bave been anost complimen- tary andi ;e would like bere ta pass along public commenda1tion ta tbe town fathers wbvo were responsible, at long last, for bringing abolit this major face lifting. In tbi 'connectian, -we might reviexv the main/reasons wby new signs were iiecesÎ-,X and wby tbey, should bave been ere . ed at considerable cost ta taxpayers. Iii '.Idition ta the fact that it was many ý-ears &go wben this job of signing streets h in tbe tovn was undertaken, it was nQt a thorughor deqate ob venat that tîme. Signs were nailed ta thei- corners of houses and other buildings and as the y'ears went by, the ivy grew and covered them up or tbey deteriorated from> the iveather, or the original building was torn ielown and the sien iost. Also. many new strects have corne into existence. But, ihere was another factor which destroyed some o! the aid signs and those o! more recent vintage and cauid do the same with the new, ones..

Value curiosity in your children One of the most interesting and thought-provokiny statements of policy wehave meen in many ,years appeared this rnonth in The Rlural Scene published by John Atkins, journalist and philosopher- é.%traordinary fromn Bracebridge. For the keriefit of rural and urban readers who cion't sée The R~ural Scelie regularly, we produce it here in full anid would appreclate comments from aour subseribers.

For some reason, it bas about the same attraction as the aid dangling light bulbs used ta bave for us when we carried a sling shot. We doubt if anytbing mucb can be donc about it - or if a million editorials will cure the malady. But, we bave now reacbed the.age when such gaings-on corne under the beading of sheer vandalism. If our niemory were a littie shorter, we couid really 'vax warm ln berating the younger generatian for same o! tbe examples of wanton destruction we have seen. Ail we can ask at the moment. and we- do fi almnost with tangue in cbeck, is for the ca-operation o! parents in bringing the new signs,, their cost and purpose ta the attention o! the children, stressing baw modern and attractive they look in their present, untarnished. ungauged state. The educators tell us that by sa doing, with positive suggestion artd fthc aw'akening of pride in the cammunity, the taxpayers o! tomorrow mnay bc pcrsuaded ta restrain themselves from hitting the ncw signs, whiie warmin-g their muscles for the base- bail season. It certainly is worth a try. and stimulate in them the love af al things true and beautiful. 6. Teach your eilidren ta convert obstacles inta opportunities. 7.

In another column in this igue, we -have tried ta present an unbiased stary -n the tow-n garbage collection contra- -varry I dctzens will corne.,to a public n-iftUng to-night, Thursday, in the Town M-lU, this matter should be brougbt to a head with Town Council having a beetter idea of public 'opinion- before making a decision. The Chamber of Commerce is to be commehded for its action in arrang- ing lor this meeting witbout taking any definite stand. This is a good example of democracy in action - if tovnspeople will talce advaltage of tbe opportunity. As ive analyze the situation, those who are now receivinct adequale garbage col- lection, undoubtealy, will be ini favour of contiriuing as they are. Un! ortunately, there are weakznesses in the present systemn. A minority o! the population is - not serviced as tb ey 'would like ta be. -Dtqils must be arrang%d iwtfi individual 'garbage coliectors withaut any central 'coý.rd1nating or regulating body in con- trôi. Undoubtedly, the present agitation for town garbagte collection bas corne*about because of this weakness in the premnt sztup. If there ivere plenty o! operators, edzer to takie on nex;' customers, there would be no diff 1culty. Compeition would automaticaliy improve the service and brng 'about adequate pickup under a private enterprise system.' Employment, belng at a higlh level in thi& areg, few newv people seem I~o be interested in making a career out of garbage collecting. Some o! those now collectlng refuse are doing an exclletregular job, but the town is growing and their' limited facilities and time make it impossiblé ta deal with newv- corners, or some of those in outlying areas, so the situation bas deteriorated iii some quarters until annoyance lias given way ta demand for action. This, apparently, is the problem whicb wiil be given a compiete airing at the meeting to-nighit. If you are for or against publiclv opêrated and controiled garbage collecti on, corne out and express vour viewe. That's why the meeting bas been called.
