16 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 26,1991 Hobnobbing with Harvey Lord Elgin Students Receive Colorful Hats for Play Day by Harvey Malcolm What's the Beef? Here it is, the first day of summer, - - the longest day of the year and despite the current drought, a pretty enjoyable time of the year. A little chipping sparrow who has been collecting fluff for his second nest of the season provides a humorous caricature caricature of a bird with a white moustache protruding from each side of his mouth. As with any season, it appears appears that those in authority are awake at night dreaming dreaming up new ideas to tantalize the population. One of the most inane ideas to date has been the suggestion to do without the 2 month holiday for the students during the summer months. Instead, they are to be given shorter holidays during other times MIDWAY DRIVE-IN FRIDAYS • SATURDAYS • SUNDAYS ONLY SHOWING THIS WEEKEND 2 Movies for the Price of 1 11.

Our Canadian climate is not conducive to such a suggestion. - Most Ontario residents plan their holidays for the summer months. Can you imagine the chaos created if little Johnny or Jenny had to attend school with the rest of the family at the cottage? cottage? Many students in High School/Universities look forward to getting summer summer jobs that are usually tourist oriented to help carry carry them through the rest of the year. I'm afraid we adhere adhere to Murphy's Law, if something's working effectively, effectively, then don't fix it! Another idea which has more appeal is that of being able to get rid of a Prime Minister who has lost the confidence of the population at large. This suggestion has much merit but not in the manner presented. In our humble- opinion, having a Prime Minister elected who is not representing the current current parliamentary majority is fraught with problems and pitfalls. Tnis would be a duplication duplication of the U.S. system when on occasion one has a Re- E ublican President with a •emocratic majority legislative legislative (or vice-versa) which is not too satisfactory. The suggestion suggestion of being able to dump a Federal or Provincial Provincial leader who has lost his way, does however, have much popular appeal. But just how to accomplish it would be a parliamentary nightmare. The biggest joke of all however, occurs at County level. After spending thousands thousands of dollars to study restructuring restructuring of Victoria County and coming up with some very positive suggestions suggestions to make the counties more effective and efficient, - what do they do? Turn around and reject them all. Amazing! Obviously, providing providing leadership is not on their agenda. ft ! ,0 0° 0° p ■o 0 0 0 Q 0 0 0 0 0 O 0 B Brc raL Cadillac Ranch Presents Friday, June 28th and Saturday, June 29th NO COVER CHARGE THE *ptuii€4- "DutC&VPUM ' HOTEL Liberty St. and 401 623-3373 Bowmanvillejg ijgo »c °e e e § $ »g & STAGES Offers Class For Creative Theatre This summer, young people people interested in theatre and the creative experience do not have to leave Durham Region to find classes.
