- - ~ ~ -~ Duri.ng the past week or two there bave been several developments in the labor field that would Indicate, in our opinion, that the general populace ta fed Up completely with the power tac- tics being used by an ever widening group of unionists and others to force acceptance of demands. 1While we are flot in sympathy witb the Ontario Farmers Union's current tra1fie slowdown by the use of tractors on the bighways, we can understand the reasoning behind their actions. If the big labor un ions can blackmail huge wage and benefit settiements out of their companies by threatening to close down busy plants, why can't we as fartners do the same thing to im- prove our lot? After ail, politicians de- pend on our votes too to be eiected and if they won't listen to what we believe are our just demands, let's- show them what we can do to upset the applecart on the roads. On Monday, Chief Justice G. A. Gale knocked the props out from under the organizers of mass picketing at a Peterborough plant, in direct defiance of a court injunction. By sentencing several of them to jail instead of im- posing fines that the union would have paid, he may have slowed down a trend that was well on its way to spreading across the nation. At least The Editor of the Stouffviile (On- tario) Tribune bas written tbc following article and we concur with him on bebaîf o! most amaill businessmen. "SmalI businessmen are getting tired, tired of being pusbed by gov- ernment. Tbey're cumplaining bitter- ly. "For individuals who aren't aware of it, employer is baving an increas- Ingly nough timo. If he looks after bis own hooks ho finds that many bours a week are necessany to take cane of tbe vanious things sucb as tax deduc- tions, Canada Pension deductions, workmen's compensation, TA4 tax forms, etc. - ail fnom bbc employee wages. To the employee this may not suund like much of a job, but add them al together and you have a ioad that is becorning unbearabie, and i's witboub renumenation, just a hoavy penalty if flot remnitted promptly. "The employer is requircd bu de- duct bbe income tax from bis help's wagcs. This must be put bu une side by tbe 1Stb of each month, a fonm mnust be filed and the tax remitbod. Try being a day late and it will cost v-ou ton bocks. We know. Thon the tfnemployment Insurance levy must be deductcd, whicb bbe employer must equal out o! bis own pocket or business, stamps of tbe proper denominations must be purchased and pl.ired in a boo0k and cancelled. "Now we have the Pension Plan and again employers must dleduct 1.8 pemr cent from the wages paid, to which ho (the employer must add an equal Walter Pingle, Zion, Tries to Beat, the Heat he tried. Defiance of the law cannot be tolerated whether it be at Oshawa, Peterborough, on the provincial high- ways or elsewhere. We can sympathize with those astonished organizers who now face jail terms after being encour- aged to adopt these tactics by the suc- cess of similar adventures during the Oshawa Times strike. They took a cal- culated risk and lost. In Oshawa, they won because the government at that time didn't see its way clear to step in and face a showdown. We would suggest that many people, including members of unions, must feel as we do, some satisfaction in lhe sentences imposed by Mr. Justice Gale. He bas struck a courageous blow that should have widespread beneficial effects in persuading ail citizens that they belong to a society that believes in the preservation of law and order and that will not stand for anyone openly defying our courts. Fortunate- ly, they are headed by men who are nlot influenced by fence-sitting politi- cians seeking votes or by powerful union bosses. If the members of the Farmers Union decîde to resume their tractor driving on the roads and fnterfere with the normal flow of traffie, they too are asking for trouble . . . and, in vlew of Monday's court decision, will prob- ably get it. WiII You Stili Be Around on JuIy 5th? When the cuming Dominion - In- dependence Weekend is over, there will be over 100 Canadians and 600 Ameni- cans dead in traffic accidents if the predictions of the National Safety Council are realized. This first of each yoar's Interna- tional boliday weekends, finds botb Americans and Canadians crowding tbeir own and each other's higbways in a happy escape from their daily tasks and cares. The 1966 resuit of these carefree excursions will, in death and injuries, surpass any similar period beretofore, a situation which we ail are coming to accept with fatalistic resignation. The yearly quarter of which July Ist is the start of the year's most hazardous period. Last year, according to records maintained by Dominion Automobile Association and released by Major E. G. Hession, Public Rela- tions Director, there were 1,530 personi killAd on Canadian Roads and 44,600 injured in 97,600 reportabie accidents, which is the highest in history. Prop- erty damage dunring the same thre inonth period amounted to 35 million dollars or about $2 for every man, woman and child in Canada. D.A.A. warns that, with more than 10,000 miles of super-bigbway on the Continent, motorists will have to ad- just to meet the special hazards of travel on these thoroughfares. Mr. Hession advises cruising at normal speed rather than trying to keep up to the posted limait as there are many variables wbich enter into the operation of a car at 75 m.p.h. which are absent at 50,m.p.h. Speed in itself is not the killer. The prime danger is in driving at variance with existing traffic conditions. Be courte- ous to your American Guests and remember that many of tbemn are operating in strange ternitory; make allowanccs for temporary indecisions in their driving habits. To make sure you're around on July Sth, practice the code of tbe 3 C's - Care, Courtesy and Commonsense, on July 1-2-3 and 4, and drive defen- sively always expecting a wrong rnove by your fellow motorists and start for home early and miss the final hectie bours of fatigue whicb lowers reflex action. £etters jear Johin: We wish la expre.ss very sincere appreciation la voit for allowing our children to abtain a first-hand ac- counit of how a paper and bis are printed.

"ED" WILL BE MISSEl> Dear Editor: Your scribe bas known Ed. Youngman since the' "Thir- ties". Io PontYpool when the deep snow came, Mr. Youngman wou]d take bis farmi team and deliver Rich- ardson's bread ail winter. So on Friday, dune 17, at perhaps 5:30 when 1 saw him coming down the street I expected a cheery greet- ing which I received. The wreckers were banig- ing away at the aid Post Office. I said, "We'll miss the dock". "Yos", hie replied, "I think lt's a shame that flot only the clock but the wholo building could flot have been saved. Many a time I look- ed at it on my way to work". Then hie asked: l'How are things around Kendal?" I1 said, "Fine, only we lost aur aunt very sudd enly". Then I gave the circumstancos. Hie remarked, "It's a fine way to go". 1 said, "Yes", but the shock is su hard on the family". 'Wel", lie said, "'If one of my family had to go, and 1 was givon a vote I would want them ta go quickly, rather than sce them suffor. I would try to endure the shock. 1 enquîred for Mrs. Youngman. Ho said, *She is as we]l as anyone with diabetes can expecitot be. It is certainly nice ta have lier home and ta have the meal ready when yon get home" Just thon, a Bowmanville merchant came along. He said ta Mr. Youngman, 'lWe have missed yau at Our fancy dinners lately", (re- ferring ta the Rotary dinniers at the Flying Dutchman each Fridlay.) 'Well, you see, I take my dinner in a pail' and hoe held up his lunch pail. Ho wvas roturning from mowing grass on the golf course. Little did any of us realize that his caîl wauld came that night. North of Kendal is a niost perfect picnic spot named "Thie Dell". This was cro- ated by Mr. Ed. Youngman wlin eilli \as "Suiperintend- t'it or lte 1)îlîini "n î- esti' iv'".

KEDRON (Interîded for hast week) On Saturday aflennoon, Kedron junior choir members were enîertained aI the home of Mr. and Mrs. Murray Mountjoy. MT. Wm. Wenry provided a hay ride anound thc counînyside which was much enjoyed. A paper ohase through the woods was led by several of the boys. Mrs. Mountjoy, assisted by Mrs. Wm. Werry, Mrs. Grant Hun- ber, choir dinector, Rev. W. S. Bridges and Miss Margaret Burns, served hot dogs and cold drinks. Sundny, dune l9th, marked the Annivensary for Kedren Sundçiy School. Due ta the large number of ch-ildien cur- rently enrohled' in Uic sehool, it wax flot possible tb hohd a regular Anniversary Sundav service. Howeven. the Junior choir provided special muçie for the service in the form of an anthem n d a closig b«AdktUon amount.) This too wiII be remitted to the Receiver General. "On top of ail these are employ- ers who participate in hospital and other ben efits which also require de- ductions. Now the groans are becom- ing loud and long. "In the commercial job printing such as The Tribune operates, there are other loads to carry. Most busi- nesses gripe about the 5'> sales tax. }Jow would you like to colleet 11% add this on and collect 5% on top of it ail. Both taxes are separate and need separate cheques. For the provin- cial work he gets 2%/# of the tax total which amounts to enough for a bit of postage and maybe a cigar, but for the federa] collections hie gets nothing, only a fat penalty if he's late." On the Other Hand There are stili some who advance the socialist theory that you can get ali-out effort and maximum efficiency in industry and business without pro- f its and money incentives. The Russians used to work on that premise, although they seem lately to have changed their mmid. An interesting comment on the point was made the other day by George S. Odiorne of the Universit), of Michiègani: "Sume psvcliologists miain- tain that people seek other rewards besides money. llowever, 1 lhaven't been able to get those same psychiologists to expound their theories at a manage- ment conference for less than a $200 fee?" Sugar Spice May you neyer have a child who is going to college. And if you have one, please accept my beart-felt condo- lences. Ours is a maie. I don't know what college girls are like (any more, he said sadly) but I suspect they're just as much of a cross to bear, for their parents. I had to get out of bed this morn- ing at 6 a.m. tu get rid of ours, but it was worth it. Alter he'd climbed on the bus, in a flurry of iast-minute kiss- es and admonitions, I must confess to a distinct lifting of the spirits. It isn't that we don't love our son. We have the deepest affection for him, and show it in the usual stupid ways. That is, we worry about bis weifare; we puff with pride when be does some- tbing well; we spend hours trying to figure out what is best for him; and we put up with murder from him. Typical, normal parents. And it isn't that he's a delinquent. Although there are times when I've been tempted to look up the exact definition of that word. No, be's rea]ly quite a decent, aver- age college student. He's generou5, idealistic and perfectly good-natured, if you don't cross him. He is reasonably polite - to everyone but bis famiiy. He is tboughtful with old people and children - until they bore him. He can work steadily for 12 bours at some- thing be likes daing. Like sleeping. He wouid give you the shirt off bis back; and is compietely self-centred. Ho can dance aIl nigbt, but coliapses when the lawn is half-mowed. You'd wondor why we'd have ihis setise of relief wben he leaves. There's lots of fun wben he's around the bouse. Ho plays guitar and siogs, plays piano weli, plays mouth organ, is full of beans. Wben he's around the bouse. Ay, there's tbe rub. He bas just spent three weeks "ai home." This included a couple of days visiting his grandpar- ents, a week off hitch-hiking to Mont- rea] and back, three days with a friend at the latter's cottage, and a day with another friend in the city. But it's been nice to have bim And he's been a great help tane. He mowed one-third of the lawge"ocne day; dug four feet of a"6044o border another, and washed the car another (at the coin-wash). I'm flot trying to imply that the boy is bone-lazy. It's just that he's too busy. When be is home, he usually gets to bed an hour, somnetimes two, before I get up at 6:30. Wben I et home for lunch, about 1:30, he is just comning to. By 2:30, it's too hot to mow the grass, but just right for the beach. Honestly compels me to admit that he did set a new record this tinie. He got in nt 3:30 one morning, and wvas just struggling downstairs for break- fast nt 5:30 p.m., when his accompliceg of the night before arrived to pick him up for a date they'd made for 7 p.m. Even they wvere a bit startled. Oh well, youth and ail that Jazz I gucss. Anyway, he's off to bis summer job, working on a cruise boat on the west coast.,Got a free rail pass fromn the company. Hie started figuring out bis expen- ses for the trip out. A berth for three nights; meals in the diner for three days; perhaps a couple of nigbts in a Va ncouver botel in case bis boat wasn't in, plus meals for those two days. My jaw dropped gradually but steadily during this recital. He was pretty badly shaken up wheo I told bim he would be renting a pillow for 25 cents and sleeping in bis seat, would be eating ham sand- wiches wherever the train stopped long enough, and wvould stay at the YMCA whcn he got there. We compromnised on $50. My wife and 1 were talking it over. "It seemis odd," she said, "that we're forking out $50 so ho can get to a job, so that he can save money, s0 that it won't cost us so much next year." I agreed. Anyway, our vacation plans for the summer are made. A week ago, the old girl stated flatly thRt the only trip we could afford this summer was a week camping in a government camp, with a borrowed tent. Ten minutes alter he'd left, she in- formned me that wve were making a trip to ýhe west coast, and taking a cruise Report from Ottawa By Russell C Honey, M.P. In the past few weeks Parliament bas been operating more effectively than bas been the case at any time since I have been a Member. To the casual observer of the Ca- iiadian political scene the proceedings and accomplishments of Panliament are flot always readily apparent because of bbc tendency of tbe news media, press, TV and radio to concentrate on the spectacular rathor than tbe substan- tive aspects of the news. The Munsinger case was a gond exampie. This unfortunate incident oc- cupied' tbree days of parliamentary debate. The attention paid ta this affair by the news media attacbed ta it an importance wbich certainly could îiot ho justified on anygrounds but sensa- tionalism. Last week theu-e was a good ex- ample of the point I arn trying ta make. The strikes and threats of strikes were extremeiy senlous. The ramnification s were of concern toalal Canadians. The settlements wene important and sen- sational and were given the beadli1ire. At bhe same time important qocial legisiabion affecbing al] Canadians in- tnoduced in Parliament such as the Canada Assistance Plan and the Healtb Besources Fund were relegabed to the inside of the newspapors. One of Parliament's mnst import- ant functions is the consideration of estimates. Estimates are the proposed spending plans uf each deparbment for t-7 Co r-ner LILACS IN THE RAIN 1 watched the nain in driving sheets, Slneamr down my winduw-pane, 1 luoked out on thc sodden lawns, And life scemcd chili and vain.
