ORONO WEEKLY TIMES,,THVRSDAY, NOVEMBER 19th, 1964 ORONO WEEKLY TIMES etablished in 1938 by R. A. Forreffter ______ Roy C.Forte - EdVitor And Manager *RED..ISTRIUT[ON With recent Federal legisiation the way bas been cleared to revamp the outdated riding boundaries across Canada. Duririg the past few years a population shift to the urban centres has greatly distorted the democratic policy of representation-by-population. Today about 70% of Canada's 20 million is classed as urban and yet these voters have less than haif the representatives in1 the House. There is no 'doubt that the redistribution will greatly lessen the strength of the rural vote which bas in the past held a deckled edge in both Provincial and Federal parlia- ments. 1The present riding bouridaries were compiled on theý census of 1951 and even the new move will be at least five Years outdated as the 1961 population figures are to be usecl. In one metropolitan riding the population as of 19(31 hadl reached 267,000 while here in Durham the population would be somewhere around 32,000. The spread is unrealistie and truly flotpn~e that denotes democracy. What distribution will mean in Durham is 'hard to say but it would be feasible to believe that Durham and Northumberland could be ainalgamated as one riding. This would bring the.riding within the population minimum of 53,149. Th e mov.e of redistribution is certainly long overdue, even thougli we in ths area may lose strength. The ten commissions being appointed, oie for each Province, appear to be of a nature that political w hims will play a lesser part în the redistribution than ever 'before. This to the Canadian voter is desirable for it should bring abouta more equitable basis on which future goverrnments will be formed.

Letteis te Editor In a recenst issue of 'The Timies', 1 îoticedI that the Police Trustees - though apparently not the muni- cipality - 'have asked for a change in the 'approaches to Orono in the interests of convenience afid speed, and as a resuit there bas been surveying activity on the highway. I have not studied the Nortbern Entrance, but have oh- served the development of the Southern Entrance during forty- three years. As one who hopes to use this road for some years yet, I venture to suggest that the pub- lic will be served better by a pol- icy which regards safety and econ- omy rather than speed. Aîy cor rection of the original survey with a view to straightening the road through the hollow and altering the right angle turn with its stop sign ýat Highway 35 would cost, a heap of money in construction and result in danger toi hf e and limb. Those who wish to get out of Orono in a hurry - and why sliould an.yoîe wish that? - are free to take the old Station iroad face the intehsection at No. 35, with trucks thundering and cars swishing around the curve aid down the little rise to the nortb At-Q-ur southeri exit I tbink 1 air right in saying that we have nev- er bad an accident. Perhaps the rest of us may be permitted to enjoy still this pic- turesque approach to the village and its tidy front street, marred onfly in this age of automation by want of a man with a scythe There 'on the waY out we can ig- nor the invitation to speed up to fifty miles at Somerville's corner and glance, if a driver, or gaze, if a passenger, on the punes whichj W. L. Smith Planted more than fifty years ago and nearer at hand to those banked up the bill by Professor Thomipson thirty yeart, later. Hema even refleet that the important forestrý' develop m ent at Orono is 'largely the result ofthis pioneering on the part ol W. L. Smith and Frank Squair, and feel grateful for their public spirit; and a littie later tbank the highway people that wîth unre stricted view in perfect 'safety hc can enter Ili- wyy35. C. B.
