Forrester - F-dtor and Manager (Authorized as Second Class mail, Post Office Depa=teflt, ottawa) Published every Tliursday at. the office of publicatiS Main Street, Phone 109, orono, unTarlo Subscription payable in advanee In Canada $1.50 In U.S.A. $2.50 Mensber of the Canadian Weekiy Newspa per Assoc. Memebr of the Ontario Weekly Newspaper Assoc, IN THIS WE DO AGREE A Toronto magistrate bas blamed lis colleagues for helping to create the mounting toll of deaths and injuries on the highways and by-ways. In furthering lis remarks he stated that there would not be as many accidents and resulting human suffering if legisiators stiffened traffic laws and "pussy-footing" judges and magistrates cracked down on the guilty. The law, be said, can help eut the car- nage by making it tougher for people to get a driver's lh- cense andl then lowering the boom on lawbreakers. We must agree witb the Toronto magistrate for we believe that the course of the law can control to a mucli greater degree traffic misdemeanors which lead to many of the accidents upon our highways. The niagistrate cites the case of a $50.00 fine for careless driving wherea child was killed. The levying of such a fine is senseless and bas no) punch at ail. It must also be a point of dejection to our, police force to have to operate under such conditions. It is up to the legisiators of.this Province to lead the wiay in tightening our traffic regulations and penalties in order to affront the ever-increasing traf f e fatalities. To obtain and hold a driver's license should be a privilege which bas been earned through sensible conduct while bc- hir,4 the wbeel of a vehicle. t bas been noted in one of the states'of the United States that the best method of curbing highway accidents and fatalities bas beeli by 'strict enforcement of traffie regulations coupied witb stiff, penalties for those disre- gai-ding these regulations. It is witbin the group of legisiators and magistrates to curb, to a great degree, the annual slaughter on our highways, but first tbey must take the bull by the borns and give it a twist or two. Let the driving public know that it basa privilege it must protect if tbey are to continue using the higbways of this Province. LACK 0F JUDGEMENT Chief Justice Dorion of Quebcec bas submitted bis report in the busie cof Çoiimns, a report, which will be a subi eet of de-bate andc sidlewalk cnesto for soein time to corne. It is now time for the Goverament at Ottawa te get tough and effect a dlean-up. We f ail tosece the logic in Prime Mînister Pearsons recent mnove to appoint Mr. Favreau to another Cabinet Poýst, even tbough it does not carry the responsibillty that ,goes, with the Justice Department. It certainly appears that Mr. Favreau did know about the reports concerning Mr. Guy Rouleau, the assistant, as well as other reports of bribery and influence peddling. We need in our goveruiment and especially in, the Cabnet, men of keeni ability, men who have demonstrated' sound judgemient. Where comvpetent men are; competent men will follow. Mr., Favreau bas had bhis day .. an~d bas f ailed... it co9uld happen again. WHAT OTHERS -SAY- CALL FOR SOUND LEADERSHIP In somie states, the farm regionà wil become littie monre tban colonies. of metropolitan centres. Soon the f arm community, its -econ.m.ic interests and moral philosophy, will be drowned >in an uirban ideology wbicb with every suýcceeding generation grows more and more alien to farmi coýuntry ha bits and ethics. Thus, we have a look into the future by one expert who watcbes the advance of the in- dustrializedJ, urbanized commiunîty and the attempts b)eing made in both the UJ.S.A. and Canada to "even out" repre- sentation in the legisiatures and' other governing bodies. Here in Ontario, ail political parties bave their eyes cast on the rapidly expanding urban and suburban areas which are cbanging the countryside and raising tbe, question of representation byý population. As the urban vote increases and the rural vote declines, agriculture wll find it increas- ingly difficult to maint ain a "voice" in the legîsiative halls. This is borne out by the report tbat, at least oni one recent occasion, the Ont. Dept. of Agriculture was told it was a service department which, in -the minds of the revenue- producing departments put it in a separate compartmeiit, in a secondary i-oie. Thus,, the role of the farm organiza- tions changes, becomes more difficult. The new role calis for close examination of every piece of legislation for there is no longer any clear division as, between the "farm" and "urban" legislative processes. 'Urbanites are writing the legisiation. Labor unions are riding bhigh and receiving the consideration once accorded agriculture when it was the, number one factor in the economy. The end resuit of ail this will be increased costs. The furmers' concern will be-mn fact, it is now- bis abilîty to puss on the increased costs. This ,eaul only be done by improving bis burgainînig $700 Damage By Fire A fimre, sturted by fyiug with grease, caused from' $700.*00 to $1,000. worth of damage to a Ken- Sdal bouse ast Friday ufternoon. The home was thut of Mr. and Mms. A. Deins, octed lu thse heurt of Kendal, just east of the Kendul store. Mercer witb a garden 'hose i-e- sulted in saving the bouse and keeping the damage to a mini- mum. By the, time the fire de- partment had reacbed Kendal from the Orono station the fire had been brought under control Part of one wall and a portion of the 'ceiling in the kitchen was damaged by the fume. Cost of the damage, bas been estimated at $500 to the building and at least $200 to the contents. 1Junior Girls Tie With Newcastle The Newcastle and Orono Jun- ior girls played to a 11-11 tie' on Monduy evening in Newcastle.
