F 4 Tb Cimdln btenm nvM*1, June 22, 1068 IDITORIAL COMMENT He LeA a Wonderful Legacy This Ireek 'The Canadian States- r= isl publishing the final article wrftten by an amazing, colorful man ci many parts, and interestu, Ed Young- Mlan. It is a story about a picnlc held over a week ago by the Saint Bernard Dog Association and is written, as usual, in his homey, personalized style. It will be the last because Ed died early Saturday morning from a heart attack before he had written his col- urnn for this week. He had worked at the Golf Club ail day resisting every attempt to slow him down. Later, he attended a farewell party for some former Lands & Forests friends at Lind- say and duly recorded the events in hic diary at 2:05 ar. Ed's death removes fromn this mer- ta earth a personality that will neyer be replaced or duplicated. Quite natur- ally his wife, family and close friends are tili stunned by his passing. At the funeral parlors, almost every person who came to pay his or her respects rècalled sorne incident or anecdote where Ed had done something, said something or written an item that they remembered and that will always tie i with bis hard-working, vibrant Id e ina this area. His old buddies in the lPth Battalion were the sarne, but they went back to war experiences. It was a revelation to listen to ail Ed's friendi and others with whom he had been in contact, whether it was during the war, farrning, delivering bread, prornoting conservation, making speeches or w rit- ing articles in his grass-roots, clear, descriptive style. An extrovert from his head to feet, Ed would have loved that funeral, the rninister's rernarks, the flowers, the beautiful setting of the grave, includ- ing the trernendous crowd and ail the Youngman clan assembled. His oniy worry would have been that his wife "Butch" whom he adored wouid be left without him. He always hoped in bis unselfish way that she would be taken first, but it was net to be. We can only believe that In the Great Beyond, Ed and his many pals who have predeceased him over the years are having a great reunion, with Ed as guest speaker, bringing them up- to-date on things down here. The man lu gene f rom us, but he bas left quite a wonderful legacy in f arily, f riends and recorded words that will go on for rnany years. The Durham District High School Boud has decided to institute driver trinng courses next faîl at the Port H and Courtice schools. While there le smre doubt as to whether this is the sort of instruction our schools should be cencerned with, as long as there is no other setup for teaching driving, the schools would appear te be the best place. As Mr. Carroll Nichols pointed ôut at last night's board meeting how- ever, there is a good chance that many oi the students who need training will not take it, and that those who will tàke advantage of the opportunity will be those who would be good drivers ahyway. Unfortunately the primary prob- lem is net that teenagers, or aduits for that matter, do not know how te drive. MVost careless and dangerous driving is a result of the attitude of the driver, net bis lack of knowledge. Nearly every dangerous driver possesses a license, and therefore has passed a driver's test. IÇo matter how stiff the tests are made, rio matter how much expert instruction a new driver receives, If his attitude is If a retail merchant were ab- sent-mindedly te advértise an article at $1~, ~ad~spr.balywould spot it as a mistake. It weuld be, c f course. It is weil kinown that nobody would pay $10, or $5, or $20, for anything; it must be çffered at $9.98, $4.99 or $19.95. If 'merchants did net believe ibis, they would net go te such trouble working eut odd amounts. It dees net refiect credit upon the intelligence of vendor or buyer where a retail sales tex brings the price over the dollar mark anyway, but there you are. In the infancy cf retail advertis- ing, it was considered bad taste te men- tion' prices at ahl. Thus in a Toronto publication in 1802 A.D.: "Messrs. Quet- ton and St. George acquaint the pub- lic that they have iateiy arrived from New York wîth a general assortment of dry goods and grocenies. Will aise be found at the smre store a general as- sortment cf tools for all mechanies." Search cf newspaper files disclosed Bette r Service The récent delays in bringing the Bank Act révisions te the fleor of the Ottawa House make it plain that re- moval of the 6%7 ceiling on bank boans la poitical dynamite. With blithe dis- regard cf the financial facts cf life, rnany politicians f ly automatically into battle against any increase in any in- terest rates anywhere. Indeed, Walter Gordon and Maurice Lamontagne may be peitically wise in expressing their fear over any steps at this tinte te ease interest rate restrictions. This could unite the opposition and miglit aven cause desertiens from the government's own ranks. But, The Financial Post comments, wrong, bis driving will be careless or dangerous. It Is net very difficuit te be especîally careful during a test. Nevertheless, an effort must be made, and if the schools can instill in students a realization cf the dangers ipherent in driving an automobile and recognition that courtesy and consider- ation for others are even more import- ant on the highway than elsewhere simply because people's lives are in- volved, they will have accomplished a great deal. A proper driver's course would nat- urally include such teaching, but unless it is compulsory for all students it is net likely te have much effect in elim- inating bad driving from our roads. Perbaps the teacher's assessment cf the student's attitude toward driving should be considered in determining whether he should receive a license. After ail, driving an automobile is. net a right, but a privilege, and society bas a perfect right te withhold it from any- one who dees not menit it. ,Port Hope Guide that as recently as 1901 blankets were offered at $1, men's hose at 50 cents gnd "fur ruffs" at. $3. (Thie PraiirieWest scorned coDpers). An olà-timer in the retailing cf women's wear says it was departmnent stores, in competition with each other, that started this abhorrence cf round numbers, "and we bad te follow." One neyer knows, cf course, whether $1.98 is reduced from $2 or marked up from $1.90. Recently a 10-page section cf a daily newspaper, advertising one f irm's goods, listed hundreds cf articles, froma cotton dusters at $1.99 te batteries at $7.50, net one at an even amount. Yes, one: women's shees at $5. It must have been a mispnint. Just a passing thought: do hard- licaded, practical country folk see through this gimmick? Evidently net; it was a farmers' ce-ep that advertised a dishwaster at $229.99. From The Pninted Word for Borrowers a program te scrap the present ceiling is imperative if Canada is te bave the more competitive banking system and better service for borrowers envisioned by the Porter Royal Commission report. This is clearly the objective that Sharp seems te have'in mind for the long haul. If Messrs. Sharp and Pearson are foeed te settle for politically palatable do-nothing policies and leave the pres- eut ceîling on bank rates for 10 years, l'le Finaucial Post says, Canada will be locked into banking arrangements that make loans difficuit te get and expensive for many small-business borrowers.

You know the sort of place: perhaps 83 year-round residents, and once the weather warms, about 10,000 par-boiled foreigners every week- end and ail through July and August. It's net rny cup of tea, but such a resort has something. There's a carni- val excitement for the teenager. And fer family groups and the middle-aged, it means getting away frem the city, yet net having te cope with the wild, frigbtening silence of the real country. Sun and sand and sky at these places are magnificent. Se are some of the bronzed, bikini-clad geddesses wriggling past the penny arcades and shooting galleries. But it isn't these things that give the beach village its atmosphere. No, it's a compound of other things that make themt fascinating. There are the wonderful smells: hamburgers frying; stale beer; gasoline fumes; f ish; faulty septie tanks. There are the fresh-air sounds; eight tbousand gulls fighting over gar- bage; the squeal of tires and vroomn ef exhausts as the punks scatter kids like quail; the whine of power boats beheading swimmers. And of course there are the sights. ilere the pen falters. Words alone can- net convey the impression of that pink, pot-bellied man in the purpie sport shirt, that lavish lady whose slacks match exactly her orange hair. Nor do the beach villages neglect the sense of touch. There's the steve- hot, sticky asphait underfoot. There's the cool thrill of bare feet on some kid's dropped popsicle. There's the satîsfy- ing crunch underfoot of a half-eaten bag of potatoetcips. I'm not knocking these places. they have their own charrn, like zoos. At any rate, there we were, heading for this beach village, which lies across our route to Granny's. And suddenly they started to batter past us, in pairs, in threes, in gaggles of five or six: the motorcycle gangs. There were at least three different ones, with such names as The Marauders across the backs of and Spice By Bill Smiley black leather jacket. "Oops. Looks like a rough weekend at the beach," says I. My f amily wau enthralled, just watching thern fly by, black jackets, cowboy boots, darkglas.. ses. We stopped in the village ta buy sornething. The invasion was on. They were everywhere. The storekeeper groaned when I rnentioned it,."I sure hope they don't start nothin." We got a dloser look. My wife was appalled. Sbe'd neyer seen such a col- lection of females in her life. Greasy hair, dirty clothes and a built-in chip on the shoulder. I guess it's difficuit ta stay dainty on the back of a motorbike, but they did look like a jam of tarts from a Glasgow slum. The men were equally interesting. You could tell themn from the girls because they hadn't taken off their leather jackets te expose every inch of legal flesh. They wvere obvious-ly into the beer already, but they weren't having any fun. They weren't relaxed; they wers tense. They didn't walk; they swagger. ed. They didn't Iaugh; they sneered. Big, burly brutes, dirty, long-haired. 1 miust admit they gave me a emaîl, cold chili down the back. Nothing happened. We weren't beaten up or insuited. We drove off glad we weren't staying there. Next day, I heard there'd been quite a rumn- ble at that village. On the way home, over the smre route, we were wondering whether they had left. There didn't seemn to be any sign of them. Then we turned a corner. There was a big crowd in the middle of the road. A policeman wavedl w; by. On the pavement were twe bod- ies. covered with blankets. But yeu could see the cowbody boots sticking out. A greasy-haired girl crouched, stroking the f ace of one of the young men lying there. I don't know whetber tbey were dead. I don't think se, because nobody seemed hysterical, and the cops were calm, even indifferent. It was rather like watching the last scene of a tragedy, when you'd seen only Act I and then had to leave. Report from Ottawa By Russell C. Honey, M.P.
