4 The Cnadiai Sttem% B owmanvlfl, Sept.il, 190 EDITORIAL COMMENT Time For Reason- Not Histrionics Now that the parades, demonstra- iffons, fanfare and placarded publicity have'died down, for the moment at least, th.e probiem of transporting school children from the beach area within the town may be appmoached an a more reasoned and less flamboyant level. The daily papers, radio and tele- vision stations have had a field day over the affair, at the town's expense ln poor publicity. Their hungry news staffs with no personal or particular Interest in this community, other than as a source of potential isteners, read- ers or viewers, have kept fanning the fines of discontent. One of the rnetno- poitan dailies hit what we feit was an ail time journalistic low by attributing statements ta beach pupils that their situation could be compared ta the racial discrimination in Alabama. What innesponsible rubbish! Sa, the children at the beach have had their first major lesson in defying authority, regrettably encouraged by znost of those with whom they had regular contact. Wonderful training ln good citizenship. If you want some- thing, the way ta get it is ta raise bloody inurder, shout and generaiiy cause a big disturbance. The news- papers and other publicity media wil love it and really give you a big spread. ]Raise enough disturbance and you'l get what you want. While the beach residents continue ta keep their childnen home frorn school, in defianoe of the law, the public school board is giving the probiem its close attention and daing its best to, bring about an amicable solution that wil fot resuit in supplying a bus or buses at public expense. While they have been taking the brunt of the abuse for flot pnoviding bus service, they have the backing of town council, the separate school board, and the high school board. In addition, we know fnom aur contact with citizens generally Who are flot beach residents that the trast majority are against establishing k "free" bus system. Contrary to same statements that have been made, the public school board is flot compelled ta provide bus tenvice ta anyane, noa matter how f an away froni school they live. They znay receive grants from the province ta pay a portion of the bus cost if those using the vehicle live more than two miles away. But, quite obviously, it is up to the parents, flot the board, ta make certain their children get ta echool. Othenwise, they are breaking the law. There are some exemptions for child- ren unden seven who have more than a mile ta walk and for those under 10 with aven two miles to walk. But, even in these cases, the parents mnust ensune that the children are receiving education at home or otherwise compar- able ta that provided in achools. This is the law. Some local citizens, including mem- bers of school boards aven the years, have seen this problem of beach pupil transportation coming for same time. Previaus councils have been alerted ta the difficuities that wauld arise if people were ailowed ta use cottages at the frnge of the tawn for permanent, ail year round residences. Unfortun- ately, littie action was taken to, stem the tide, with the resuit that a fairly large community, without proper serv- ices bas been buiit up at the beach. Two or three years ago, there were appnoximateiy 40 school pupils from this area. Taday, the figure is about 100 and f ive years from naw, it could be doubled. In the meantime, the beach anea as a summen resort is de- terionatîng eveny yean. It is being fill- ed rapidly because rents are cheap and praperty values extremely low and dropping ail the tume. Admittedly, there is a shortage of low rental bousing in town, yet a sur- vey not so long aga failed ta indicate enougb support ar interest for a scheme ta be launched in an uptawn well- serviced anea. The children living at the beach must receive their education and we1 would sugest that those wbo have taken up residence there will have ta make thein own arrangements either by pool- ing cars or in some othen way. We do flot believe the tawn is yet ready to supply free bus service ta theman more than ta othen parts of the tawn at taxpayens' expense. It may came ta that in tinie, but if the board gives in ta their demands now, even though some of those involved are just out- side the twa mile mark, they will be apening a bonnets' nest. In the meantime, the sooner council compietes its surveys and investigations and is able ta hait further expansion in this area, and restore it ta a beautiful nesont area, the better for all conicerned. A friend with a big and powerful car was driving me home from the lake because my own bus wasn't func- tioning. It was a cnowded highway, so we followed another car that set a fair pace and simply relaxed ta enjoy the ride and the radio that was piaying good old-fashioned music, nice ta drive ta. Suddenhy, a young lad in a 1956 green Chev with fninges anound the top and a dangling doll hanging from the rear- view mirnon wbizzed by us, cutting in just in time ta, avoid a bead-on collision. We sighed when ho made it. Next ta eut ini was fia teenage lad; he must have been in bis late fifties. But he had the same look on bis face. A couple of other drivers, doing the same stupid things, addod bazard ta the drive that aftennoon, and tbey, toa, had that same look - a nauseating smug- ness. What amazed us was that the car we were in could bave whizzed past any of thein. No cause for pnide on the part of the driver, for we are ail agile and stnong enough ta pusb an accehon- atar ta the floor. Any dunce can do that. Sa why the smug loak? I have been trying ta figure it ouf. Spending a weekend in a country town recentiy, I watchod the midnight tag- game t bat went on, with cars splatten- Ing gravel at every corner. It was such a display of ignorance I was appalled. 1 asked a native about it and he said, "If goos on every Saturday night. And you ought ta see the looks on the faces of the idiots who indulge un it- a sort of blank smugness!" Comphetely baffied by this behav- lour, I asked a psychîatmist fiend of mine if ho could explain it. "It's ike electnicity," ho said, " in that we don't know exactly what it is, but we can un- denstand how it works. It is a sign of a completo lack of secuity- the boy or man who indulges in it is trying ta boisten an ega.
