n Te Cnadien Stateamaa. Eownmvffl., july2& 0.10 IDITORUAL COMMENT Letter to the Editor Going Ahead or Backwards? ZDear Sir. Toledo, Ohio, July 15, 1967. -1My sister and I have just returned hSne after a short visit to the old hame iown o! Bowmanville - what changez lit somne areas. Instead o! progressing, it looks as though it has gone backwards. I-have a few suggestions, but doubt if any one would appreciate them. 1. King Street hasn't changed in 50 years or so it appeared to us. A good paint job on the stores would do wonders to brighten themn up and maybe -people would shop in town ra- ther than go to Oshawa. 2. We went to the cemetery and while the new addition is nice and well kept the old sec- tion is a dîsgrace. It's so bumpy and the tipped stones are real- ]y something. Before Decora- tion Day is it too much to ask the people who have relatives in that section to get a tow lift and re-set the stones; also, fi in the sunken graves? Now the beach . . . good gosh, isn't there any civic pride in the town any more? It used to be such a beautiful place - a nice beach and wharf where you could walk way out around the lighthouse. Now it's al gone; beach full of litter and broken glass. You could have a regular show place down there. Many is the time we have watched the boats co-ne in fromn Toronto. Couhdn't you *build a complex for people living down there where they >could pay lower rent and bumn all the shanties down? The beach could be cleaned up and " filled in "and eventuàlly instal picnic tables and a concession stand where a person could buy hot or cold drinks, hot dogs, harnburgs, etc. Later on perhaps a bandstand and dance area could be put in. I'm suire thea young people would be glad to offer their help if they knew they would have a dec- ent, place to go for entertain- ment. It could be closed for the winter months and volun- teers to take care of the place or even keep the dance area open for the young people. 4. A small town needs indus- try. What would Bowmanville do if present industries, such as Goodyear, moved out? There is a lot of out-lying land where fir-ns could locate; also, this would provide an excellent tax hase on which to operate in- stead of always raising real estate taxes. The latter are e3ttremnely high now for a popu- lation of just over 8,000. We are the daughters of Fbo Tap- son and Richard Moses, deceased, and granddaughters of Betsy Ann and William Tapson, deceased. We were both born in Bowmanville and lived there for many years. 1 hope we will have the pleasure of returning in the near future. Sincerely, Mrs. Elizabeth McKenzie, 2320 Tremainsviîîe Road, and Mrs. Getrude Barden, 16900 Burgess Avenue, Detroit, Michigan, 48219. P.S. This is well intended criticism and I hope no feelings will- be hurt by my letter, -E.M.

Nor is there anything exceptional in that figure. AI- though the number o! 'osa makers tends ta ha higher, in recessian periods, the proportion af winners to losers has, in fact, varied rebativeby littie aven the past 20 years. Comnpanies of long standing, un- like new ones usually have reserves (built up in their y ears o! good earn- ings) to tide them over a boss periad, giving them the time ta find out What bas gone wrong and to take the neces- sary remedial action. Shareholders, who have risked their 'savings in the hapeful expectation of a reasonable dividend and (perhapa) an increase in share value, must meanwhile take their lumps along with employees who may face anything froni loWer earn- ings to bass o! their jobs. The moral to ahi o! this, of course, is that a competitive economy doesn't guarantee a profit te any enterprise, new or old, and that even the strong- est can fabter. An elementary conclusion, per- baps, but experience teaches that there are niany Canadians who have yet te- understand it. - PRAYER'S ANSWER 'Does God always answer prayer?'

In- crease in the sale o! certain consumer goods and services must represent reai gains in satisfaction and must not be acbîeved ut a cost in leisure greater than the value. The Council'i blueprint will not be foliowed t&' the letter.

'This decentralization af liaison authority, in the Goverrnent's view, wouid lead ta confusion.
