-nITTDIAI C THr SDAY, 0cr.. MndAM Ti 1tnless we err considerably in in- terpreting the signs, there will be consid- erable activity i local municipal politicai circles this year - especiaily in Darling- 4ton Township. This wiil be quite a change. We have been accustomed to comparatively peace.. fui elections recently, but the formation of Ratepayers' Associations in both munici- palities may bring about a change. In Bownianville, the Ratepayers' As- sociation fornied since last year, has al- ready made some inroads. 'Their first act was to stop the dump from being placed in the South Ward. They have worked fairly quietly but have one representative sitting in on ail Council and Board of Works meetings and their recomnienda- tion was accepted for a man on the Arena Commission. Undoubtedly, within the next few weeks - or at least before nom- ination day, Nov. 27th, they will present a siate of candidates for some if not al of the elected posts. Their selection should be made very carefully because, should they be elected, they will be in office for a two year terni. We have no informa- tion concerning present members of council who wül be offering their services again, but this situation should be clani- fied within the next two or three weeks. Darlington has rather a unique situa- tion. There, the Ratepayers' Association have already submitted public proposais and have officially selected a comniittee to draw up a siate of c4ndidates for elec- tion. They have been far more. vocal than the Bowmanviile group, but bath probably wil make- the elections far more interest- ing and exciting than usual. There is another factor in the Darling- ton election which differs from Bowman- ville. Here, Mayor Wilfrid Carruthers has only held office for one year and, at the moment, there does not appear to be any strong contender for his positicin. In Darlingtan, Reeve Roy Nichols has been in office for several years and Deputy- Reeve Garnet Riekard appears to be about ready to challenge hini at the polis. He tried it once before and found the requin- ed number of votes lacking. Now, having been elected Warden of the United Coun- ties, he probably feels that his position is stronger than it was at that tinie. Only tume wil tell. Sa far as the Darlington Ratepayers' constructive suggestions are concerned, we frankly comxnend them for making the effort to produce -them, but would sug- gest they should be clarified considerably.1 Premier Frost recently announced that the population of Ontario has reached the 6,000,000 mark, an increase of 50 per cent since the end of the Second World War. Hie predicted that it.would reavli 7,000,m 000 by 1966 and 8,000,000 by 1972. "Fourteen years aga, nobody ever dreamed we would be as big today," de- clared the Premier. "We were told that we were in for a blockbuster of a depres- sion and that the economy was going to pot. It has not happened and it does not need ta happen.". Rising birth rate, declining death rates and the postwar wave of immigration were cited as threc major factors in Ontanio's increase of 2,000,000 pensons during this tume. The birth rate has increased from 79,000 per year in 1945 ta 160,000 per year in 1959.

MVost so-cailed amateur hockey teams today just aren't amateur in the tnue sense of the word - as any fan with an ounce of conimon sense knows. Most players on the more important teams anyway are paid somehow, although, granted, not always in cash on by the taxpayers.

The Newcaste ndpendw and The Orono Nowa LOStb Yeq, ait Continuous Service to thie rown ai Bowrnanvilie amd Durhama County In their present one sentence state some of them appear not too weil thought out. They recommend a cail for tenders for salaried officiais. Does thia mean present officiais, or future ones? Resident qualifications for future officiais was another of the several recom- mendations. Bowmanvi]le approved a sim- ilar regulation for its employees and frankly, we don't agree with it. It would be pretty siily if industries foilowed. the same practice. We can see its wisdom'for those who might be on cail in emergencies, but we doubt its workabüity for ail types of employees. Conceivably, a good man might own his own home, just inside- the borders of Bowmanville, yet he could flot be hired by Darlington or vice versa. To us, it is one of those very small town regulations that should be forgotten in this area. We have far too many citizens dependent on other nearby municipalities for thei.r livelihood to enter such a restrict- ive field. The Darlington Ratepayers alsp want ta, da away with the Planning Board and Consultant. Why, we don't know, exoept that thcir main reason for forming was in protest over some of the regulations on zoning and building. Surely, this doesn't mean that there should be no planning and no advice from experts i the field. The proposai we don't quite compre- hend is the one advocating that auditors be changed froni year to year. What is back of that will have ta be explained more fully to the public. On the face of it, the proposai appears ridiculous te any- one in business. It takes time for auditors ta set up procedures which they like in their bookkeeping. A new auditor each year would ruin continuity. We ca't quite understand what advantage such a proposai would be. We can sec that it would create many difficulties. The other four recommendations do not appear earth shaking. They want ta adopt building regulations instead of zon- ing, increase council membership from five ta seven, hold two meetings of council a month and separate the offices of tax collector and treasurer. We shahl hope ta hear much more camplete explanations before endorsing or candenining this organization's plans for the conduct of Darlington Township's public affairs. However, we must admit that, at the moment, the suggestions are not too impressive, but at least we give them full marks for being sufficiently interested ta spend time and effort on the subject. been born in Ontario in the past 14 yea Almast anc million immigrants arriv in this period.

There is a certain amount of arrogance i such a dlaim, states The Printed Word, The best evidence of a high credit stand- ing is a record of having paid one's bills p romptly, perhaps even not very prompt- ly, over the years. On the other hand, there is an auth- entic case of a relievmng manager of a Canadian bank who apologized ta a cus- tomer of 30 years' standing that a boan could not be gra.nted automatically be- cause there was no record of a boan hav- ing been made over the past 20 years.

But the vast major- ity have integrated exception- ally well. Because of their social char- acteristies and aptitudes being much like the Canadians', these people arc considered amongst the most preferred immigrants from Europe. They seem ta be very industnious and perform their appointed tasks inteili- gentiy and canscientiously and can shame many oi us with their splendid co-operative ef- forts. As anc o! theni said, "D>utchmen don't like ta work for scab wages, they are inter- ested in reasonable rewards for thcir labours; they really like work because it is a satisfying social activity, plus a source of personal pri.de.'1 I certainly agree with that type o! sensible philosophy, mainly because it is sa seldom practised, taday, The Dutch have brought ta Durham County a fine sense ai family responsibilîty; determin- ation ta educate their children; a desire ta live in clean,shcalth- ful surroundings; a high level o! culture; a wish to help build a good community.

Bowmanvifle is a fine tawn, with fine traditions and wc cxpect you to préserve thern as far as lies in your pow- er, especially in view of the fact that growth is bringing inia class of persans who have yet ta learn its ways.

About six wreks ago. we drove oui te visît friends at thefr cottage. It was the lush, bosomy end of sumnmer, and the evenint air was tropical. We slowed te cross the bridge, and the ever-present, ever- intent anglers peered with tury at the black littie river, aud the birds chortled. Along the beach, golden girls walked, and brown us-- chins swamn, and fat ladies slumped in deck chairs, and cars poked as-ound and dogs ian, and people wavcd and watcr lappcd and motars roared. Wheu we arrlved, our friends, about a dozen of them, sat and lay under a vast,, sigblng pine tree, drink- Ing chiîrd sauterne and eat- ing dili pickles and stuff. Children, fsrn toddlers La junior delinquents, prowled and begged bites and squab- bled and demanded anc last swlm. and Iaughed and crled and wet their diarers and bothered their mums. Dispensed by Bill Smiley out aver the lake the sun, alrnost gone, lied a last mad fling with calour, siashing it across the sky with the fer- ocity ai a Van Gogh. And the wvater, darkcning its blue, lookcd up longingly. and the sun disdainfully flung across it a fcw scariet and gold streamers. And we lounged aud sipped and rnunched, ln shorts and bare feet, lu jeans aud swimz suits, shrtless and wordless, too lazy snd content te gmt up and go in, even when the sun took a deep breath and went dowu lîke a bomb, awsy out st the end of the water. Like good Canadians, we accepted thc splendoum of the evening with decent restraint. Nobody sang a sonnet ta the sctting suri, Nobody was imn- pelîrd ta dance a dirge ta dy- ing summer.

There are a few things on my mmnd which I would like ta get off. First of ail, I feit no cia- tion aver aur victory in the recent election; only sadness that liquor apparently means sa much ta sa many people. I was brought up, as you were, ta be- lieve it something ta leave en- tirely alone, and I stili believe that. I also believe, John, that '«I arn my brother's keeper", and that I arn responsible net only for my own actions but also for the actions of those I may be influencing. I could probably drink socially without being hurt xnyself, but how do I know Uiat rny son could? How can I say La my son, "Don't drink", if I drink myseif. And how can 1 not say it, when I feel that if lie starts ta drink now when he s sa young, as so many a! aur sons and daughters are doing, le ~may be the anc aut af the sixteen, or whatever the figure s, ta become an alcoholic.
