TM CAAD!AN STATESM. EOWIgANqVT[Lr 01TAXMO PACM PouR EDITORIALS . The announcement on the back page of this week's Statesman indîcates a major addition at Brookdale-Kingsway Nurseries here which undoubtedly will resuit in an expanded opération. Owner Norman J. Scott is ta be con- gratulated on attracting the services of two of the top young nurserymen on the North American Continent in Elmer T. Banting and William H. Collins. We were delighted ta learn that Mr. Scott, while hoping ta turn over a great deal of admin- istrative details to bis new staff members, does not plan ta give up business and retire from active participation in thé immediate future. We well remember when J. H. H. Jury (now deceased) braught Mr. Scott ta Bow- manville in 1939 ta take charge of Brook- dale-Kingsway which, until that time, had nat been a thriving business. Within a couple of years, Mr. Scott had pulled it out of the red and started ta gain ground. He hired a capable staff, applied modemn business methods. ta the opération, same- thing which he was encouraged ta do by Mr. Jury, a far-sighted druggist mer- chandiser and shrewd business man. Citizens who have lived in this area for any length of time would be the first to admit that the Nursery today has reach- cd its present fantastic size mainly because of the drive, thé ability and the tre- mendous effort wvhich Mr. Scott put into its operation. While bis key staff person- nel have been a contributing factor, it ,.as Norman Scott whose energy -%vas always at the helm. He, with an amazing. Not only is the Durham District High School Board stalemated on its plan ta build a new school in Orono, it appears that some of the related confusion con- nccted with the problem bas also resulted in a stalemate. It will bc recalled that Darlington Council was unbappy with the opinion of one of their representatives on the board who favored the Orono location, contrary ta their avowed desires. They asked for bis resîgnation and it was duly submitted to the board who refused to act and requested council ta reconsider, At this point, the situation had become one where legal opinions were needed so the Darlington Clerk was instructed ta write ta the Municipal World for an opinion. This magazine, incidentally, is one of the foremost authorities on subjects dealing witb interpretation of laws and other municipal matters.- It has been pub- lished monthly since 1891 "in the Interests o! Goad Government, Education and Cm munity Health", and is considered a bighly reputable journal. The question sent in was as follows: "'This township is one of eigbt municipal- ities in a high sebool district and appoints three trustees to the board of that school district. Recently, owîng ta a difference of opinion between the council and one of the trustees, the trustee was asked ta resign f rom the board. Council bas receiv- ed a letter f rom the secretary of the board stating that tbe resignation bas been received and that the board passed a motion that the resignation would not be accepted; also that a further motion bad been passed suggesting that the trustee should complete bis term o! office. In .your opinion, is the school board justifîed in refusing ta accept the resignation; also, is the council justified in asking for the resignation of a trustee whose opinions The mother of a teenage student and 1lalph N.

Gradually, customers learned of this great nursery and mailed their orders f rom many parts of the world until bus- iness grew far beyond what eve;L Norman Scott had dreamed. Brookdale-Kingsway Nurseries is the real, modèrn success story of Norman Scott, a boy who came f rom very modest circumstances and made his way to the top in a complex world, and in a tough business where competition is razor keen. Stili a young man, Mr. Scott is riow hand- ing over some of the overwhelming responsibility which has been growing every year along with his expanding bus- iness. We hope for him many years of good health and a gradual relaxation so he will be able ta play an even greater and more valuable part in community affairs, and have time ta enjoy his fine f amily. To the two young men, we offer our sincere best wishes. Already, Mr. Banting has made a great contribution ta bis form-. er employers, ta the town and ta the area. We know that he will continue ta do so. From Mr.. Collins' background, he also will be a great asset ta Bowmanville as well as the nursery, and, on behaif of the com- munity, we welcome him and his family ta aur town and assure them of every cooperatian in making their new home in a new country a most pleasant and prof- itable one. differ from those of council?" The reply published in the Municipal World was: "The council bas no authority ta demand the resignation o! a bigb school trustee appointed by the council and if they do make such a demand the trustee need not comply. He is a member of the board during bis term of office unless be becomes disqualified. There is no pro- vision for a "recaîl" in Ontario. If the trustee resigned in writing it is aur opinion that the resignation became operative when it was filed with the secretary of the board. See "The Secondary Schools Act, 1954 Statutes, chapter 87, section 27 (b). The secretary should merely bave reported to the board as having received the resignation. The board bas no author- ity ta refuse ta accept a resignation. They should bave advised the council of the vacancy and asked that an appointment be made for the unexpired term. See section 27 (5) of the above Act." That answer, in aur opinion, leaves council and the school board in the peculiar situation of bath being wrong in their actions, although there stili is some question whether cournci1 demanded or rnerely asked for the resignation. It also leaves up in the air ta some extent the validity of the trustee's resignation. Can be now withdraw it or must it stand, hav- ing once been submitted under wbat con- ceivably could be considered pressure from those wbo appointed bim? Possibly, it might be as well for bath council, the board and the trustee ta for- get ail that bas transpired and start over again with a dlean siate. It looks very much as though the board will have ta do that insofar as a new school location is concerned, sa possibly this matter could be considered one of the byproducts of an unfortunate impasse which might bave been avoided. tainment.

"-Great Falls Leader. Drive on a Prayer A new and necessary note bas been struck in relation ta safe driving on our highways. An ail executive, speaking before a service club in London, Ont., recently is reparted ta have called on motorists to make their driving a matter of prayer - seeking sensitivity and guidance in rela- tion ta their moral responsibility on our highways. This advice strikes at the grass-roots of sa many drivers' basic fault. Either deliberately or thoughtlessly, too many ignore their responsibility towards their fellows. We' live in a spiritual universe. As moral beings we have a social responsibil- ity for the well-being of others. This responsîbility increases when one is driv- ing a car.

LIONT FOR THfE LADY You Can Have Ail The Other Jobs By Bill Smiley in TÉhe Evenlng Telegram When the weekly ed.tors o! Canada gather in Toronto today it wili nat be necessary for the good burghers ta lock up tbeïr daughters. Nor will the sbop- keepers feel compelled ta put out their iran shutters. Most o! the editors will be too tired ta in- dulge in mare than a minimum of traditionel convention type bell- ery. When you've worked any- wbere from 45 ta 60 hours a week for the past 51 weeks, even the wild, bacchanalian nigbt life of Toronto beckons ta no avail. Many a senior reporter or editor in the daily newspaper field has a dream. One of these days, he tells himself, he's go- ing ta get out o! the rat rêce and start living again. He's going ta buy a little weekly paper, sit around in bis shirt sleeves and smoke a pipe, write pungent, hbmnely editorials, and wben the paper is out on Thursdayr, bang up the "Gone Fishin"'" sgn. No pressure. No fret. Nod sweat. Feliows, you've been 'seeing too nrany movies, in wbicb the weekly editor is a sort o! rim- racked aid philosopher, a mas- culine Mary Worth, a kindly aid codger wbo knows every- one's business, goes around sticking bis nase into it, salves every situation with a few hackneyed homilies, and gets. bis, paper out by some sleîgbt-of- hand method. It just isn't so, boys. You have ta wark, and work hard. If you're fairly successful, you'll work about twice the hours, and make tbe same amount of money as a higb school teacher. But there's no pension in sight, no annual increment and prac- tically no holideys. And you're always just about one goad pusb from the brink of financiai ruin. 25 Yeass Ago (1933) Second annuel field day o! the Boys' Training Scbool wes held et Camp Scbofield with Hon. W. G. Martin, Minister of Publicq Wel!are, and Mr. M . A. Sorsoleil, Deputy Min- ister, in attendance. Superin- tendent A. R. Virgin wes off- iciel starter. Veterens o! the femaus Sec- ond Battlion gathered et Pet- erborough wben e new central organization for ail the unit's branches was formed, ta be knawn as the 2nd Canadien Infantry Battelion Association.

Thomnison, oldest memnber o! the W.M.S.. an ber 9th hirthday. Another thing required is courage. Protected by a battery of receptionists and editorial writers and a libel-wise lawyer, the daily editor can huri his boits with impunity. Not so bis weekly contemporary. Tp.'king on a battie, as a weekly editor, is invigorating but lonely. He must always be prepared to ab- sorb a punch an the nose, or an umbrella across the chops, if bis opinions offend. A couple of years ago the editor of the Smiths Falls week. ly took off bis glasses and took, on the chaîrman o! the school board, when challenged by that worthy. The ensuing bloodshed was slight but the middle-aged editar held his own. Just a few weeks aga the higli schôol board in Chesley tried ta oust editar Clayton Scbaus fromn a meeting. He declîned ta move. The police were called. Ail 200 pounds o! the editor sat firm. He won the day. George Cadogan o! the Durham Chronicle a c c u s e d munîcipalities in bis county of "padding> their voters lists. He was right, and in the face of the most bitter opposition made the offenders mend their ways. Amrong other virtues acquired in the weekly editor's chair are tolerance and patience. You don't attack the town council vialently for the sligbtest mis- eue. You've probably served on council yourself and know the .members are doing their honest best. You don't blow your cork whenyou stumble dowilstairs at 6 a.m. ta answer a frantically- ringîng telephone. You know the farmer wbo is calling ta give you a classified advertisement for some little pigs bas already done nearly bal! a day's work. Another thing you learn is diplomacy. One weekly edîtor was recently confranted by a woman threatening violence after he'd written a particularly pungent piece on the borrors 49 Yeers ago (1909) First meeting o! the shere- holders o! the Hotel Bowman was held.

If you have. broad shoulders, a strong baec, a thick skin, a nose for news, and no fear o! gettîng a fat lip once in a while, you have the makings o! a good weekly editor. If you fancy yourself in the role of' watch- dog of the community, free in- formation bureau, local wailing wall, diplomat, moulder of pub- lic opinion and the man most likely ta die insolvent, you 're a ziatural, Why, then, you'll ask, does anybody stick with it? It would be corny ta say these meni and women are dedica'ted. Every- body, from plumnbers to prime ministers, is dedicated these days. But the fact is, there is no more conscientious and re- spansible group in the country than the weekly editors, with the possible exception o! doctors. And doctors don't get paid for it. Somne editors MIl meet at. the convention tbis week will be wearing the same suits they wore at the 1952 convention. Thcy stick at it becaue they love it.

Most o! us can recite tales o! how mean the neighbours bave been at variaus times, and bow it was deadline pressure and the small financial returns. The re is a deep satisfaction in seeing a new park, a conservation scheme, a sewage disposai unit, corne into being after you have been nagging about the need, in your editorial colurnns, for a couple o! years. There is an inner content in the knowledge tbat you are do- ing a reasonably intelligent, un- biascd job of chronicling the bîstory o! your own littie seg- ment o! society. There is a warm feeling whien your subscribers introduce you to strangers as "our editor." Not "the editor," mmid you, but "our editor." Nobody coniplains more bit- terly about bis fate than the weekly editor, But try to con- vince bim that he should quit and start selling insurance or something, and be'll look at you as though you'd just said a dirty word. It would take dynamite ta hoist most of them out of their editor's chairs. Personally, there's only one thing I'd rather be than a week- ly editor. and that's rich.
