Such a persan was apt te be "agin"' a lot of things. But some of themn needed ta be spoken out against, and the great thing was that there were ordnary people in ordinary jobs and professions who fi strongly enough about their beliefs and opinions ta do so.

Indeed it seems ta us that this state ai affairs has already come about. Individualists taday are so few as ta be almost non-exist- ent, and by current popular psy- chological standards, they are regarded as queer, and ignored. For about 20 years now aur schools have been inculcating the idea that the mast impor- tant thing in lufe is to be "weli adjusted'. It is much more imi- portant than multiplication ta- bles or spelling or a facility with the English language. It seems ta, us that the persistent emphasis bas adjusted a large majority ai people into nanen- flUies.

People are toid that it won't mattar if they have little gen- eral knowledge, a canfused idea ai some basic subjects lik2 geagmaphy, arithmetic, speiling, English grammar and comnposi- tion, so long as they can get alang weli with their fellow workers. City employers who see their employees getting along like a house on fire ta- gether in extended coffee breaks and cduing the so-calied work- ing hours that are left, do not agree with tbis. They long for conscientiaus workers wîth ba- sic knowledge and a desire ta leamn more. Business, government, almost every phase of life is in need of leaders, thinkers, indivi- dualists.

ONTARIO or banal, we were interested ln reading a review of a book cali- ed "The Last Angry Man" by Gerald Green. Dr. Sam Abel- mnan didn't accept ail the things that are-wrong with the world with a shrug; he got mad. No one i-s supposed ta get mad these days, but we think there is always a need for righteous indignation and strong. convictions. Besides, it makes life infinitely mare interesting. One need flot be disagreeable about it. Courtesy should al- ways be maintained, but to dis- agree with mnass trends i-s a right fao littie exercised today. We should like ta read Mr. Green's novel which bears on the subject. MEET TH; ACTORS AT THE THEATRE CLUB An interesting experiment has been iaunched by the Crest Theatre in Toronto.

Mr. Brown pointed out that this was a considerable re- duction set by the Department from that ai last year when $72,- 000 was appropriated. The Reeve, however, feit that sup- plementary appropriation for speclal wark cauld be received. If supplentary appropriation were not farthcaming he saw a slim year for the road depart- ment. Hospital Grant It was poi-nted eut that 433 patients irom Clarke Tow-nship had made use of the Bowman- ville Memarial Hospital during the year 1956. During the meet- ing Council p~assed a motion pay- i-ng ta the, Hospital a sum oi 35e per capita as a Township grant ta the hospital. In return, patients from the Township are ta be credited with 50 cents a day on the roomn rates. Mr. W. H. Gibson was appointed Township representative for the Bowmanvilie Memnoriai Hospi- tl. Mr. J. L. Lawery was ap- pointed warble ily linspector at a rate ai $1.25 an hour plus .08e a mile for car expenses. The warble fly powder i-s ta be purchased from the Durhamn Fammer's County Co-operative. A delegatian af Messrs E. Hamm and A. E. Morton repres- enting the Orano Horticultural Society was received and Couni- cil authorized a grant ai $25 ta the Society. Need More llelp The Township Couneil passed a motion authorizing an expen- diture of $500 a year for office assistance and office caretaking aI the Clerk's Office. This amaunt will be uscd by the clerk ta hire part time secretar- i-ai work. Previously an amaount ai $100 was paid for Ibis service. Further i-n this motion the count- cil decided thaf the Building Inspecter be separated fram the clerkshîp eventually as the situation and circumstances on h-and should arise. A grant ai $25 was appraved iromin he Township te the Or- ana Public Li-bramy. The clerk was instructed ta bave Mr. R. R.

Receive Petition A petitian was received from tbe Hamnlet ai Newtonville me- questing that the Township give consideration te the speeding of veýhicles on the main street ai the hamiet, Highway Na. 2. The petitian pointed out that the Department had removed the 30 mile per boum zone and established a 50 mile zone along the Main street ai Newtanville. Il was painted out that twa lives had been lost an 'd also childmen had ta cross the Highway on theirway 1 and from schocl. Sixty-six signatures were on the petition. The Township symnpathized with the villagers but had no authomity i-n the matter. The petitian i-s bei-ng mefemred ta the Departrment ai Highways. Orono Seeks Renewal The Orono Police Truste,ýs weme receîved by the Township Cauncil when the Trustees sought renewal ai the Town- ship-Viliage agreement. The agreement, stated the Trustees, had, over the past few years been an amaunt ai $2,000. This was nat an outmight grant but a reductian oai miiirate ta pro- perty ownems i-n the village which changed each year ta amnount ta a sum ai $2,000. The Trustees asked that the miii rate reduction be 3.5 milis this year as it was i-n 1955. This reductian wAouid give the Village a great- em sum than $2,000 owing ýo the fact that the Village assesý- ment had increased but here the Trustees feit that the sumn shouid increase as the Villag'2 grew. The mequest was discussed al length but no definite action was taken in passing the agree- mient. Want Roads Surfaced The Trustees also requested thaf considematian be given ta have anc mile of Village roads gi-yen a coating ai chip stane and ail Ibis year. This process used on some aiflthe Village roads such as Station Street fromn Main ta Church and around the business block was proving qui-te satisfactory. This wark they said would be dane on approval ai the Superinten- dent and Engineer. A number af roads had been ouled for the pasî number ai years and the Trustees feit that it should be practical at this lime to place more permanent surface an theni. The cosî per mile was i-n the neighbourhaod of $1,200 wbich wouid be shamed equally by the Township, Village and Province. Aisa the trustees requested that Rawe Avenue bt complet- ed in construction and gravel.. This request was made two years ago stated R. C. Forrester, and that the raad w-as practicai- ly i-n the samne condition. Mm- Mercer pointed eut that pres- ently, traifi-c as travelling over private property in this area and that there would be little expense i-n putting the road ini ils proper place. Road Expenditures ý'. ù En.xnia!ed that thev" wouid , do what was po.,àibie wîth, the requests but painted ta the fact that at present the To'wnship had only $45,ooo ta spend an roads this year. It was passible that chip staning could came under a suPplementary contract. Th.ý Road budget of $7,258 was received and passed by the Council. It was pointed out that this wvas a large sum for the mont h ai January. Mr. Brown stated that it was practicaily one-sixth ai the total appropri- ation ai $45,000. Cauncil reviewed the Janu- amy budget and found that a number of items were held over irom 1956. Mr. Walkey ex- plained the sum ai $1.060. for snaw-plowing by Burley's equipment.
