We accept it with com- posure, and to some degree we shape our pattern of living in it. But sometimes the pattern that gives order and meaning to our lives goes awry.

By bringing together into a single statute, all the various human righte legislation passed since 1944, by en- larging the scope of the Ontario Human Rights Commission and by appointing a full-time Director with .additional staff, we are now in much better position to proceed with a greatly expanded educational pro- gram, designed to make the aims of the Code better known and under- that in the development of its pro- gram of enlightenment the Com- mission is receiving the active and wholehearted co-operation of our churches, schools, industry, trade unions, and a wide variety of com- munity organizations. This is sure- ly the best proof. that our citizens, individually and collectively, look up- on our Human Rights Code as a re- flection of the community conscience; that they are prepared to play their full part in applying its principles in their daily relationships, not just because the law requires it, but be- cause truly enlightened social be- haviour demands it. : While we deplore and condemn vio- / ] n |] ~ District Doings UXBRIDGE COUNCIL FACES LARGE SHEEP CLAIM Uxbridge Township Council meet- ing on Monday, Nov. 12th was pre- gented with ten claims for sheep killed or injured by dogs, in the total amount of $424.

One of the molesting dogs was shot in the Bre- thour raid by Earl Bell, township dog- catcher, and another was traced to the owner's home.

WHITBY ORCHARD WINS SEVEN FIRST PRIZES TORONTO--Whitby orchard man- ager Bob Adams of Red Wing Orch- ards who eats apples "only when I have to test them", has been award- ed seven first in 12 apple classes at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. Among them was the Sweepstake championship -- awarded to the best apple entry. "We were just lucky that we had a good year", Mr. Adams said after judges awarded him the Silver Chal lenge Trophy for a tray of MacIntosh, grown on the 5,000-tree orchard 28 miles east of Toronto. The farm which Mr. Adams man- ages is owned by retired Whitby businessman G, N. Irwin. Seventeen varieties of apples are grown on the farm. This year the five entries in the apple classes at the Royal all came from Ontario. British Columbia used to exhibit, but has never won the apple classes at the Royal -- being beaten by Collingwood, Ont., entries, or by Red Wing Orchards which has held the best apple exhibit trophy for 1956, 1957 and 1958, PEFFERLAW MERCHANT ROBBED 6th TIME WITHIN SIX WEEKS Not only once or twice, but five times Mr. Wm.

Clipped Comments THE WINDSOR KNOT The United Automobile Workers have appealed to the Ontario Govern. ment to pass a law that would pre. vent any business from moving out of town. The law presumably would apply to any business and any town, although the auto workers undoubted- ly have in mind the fact that the prin- Ont., | moved a great part of its operations | vocational high school and apprentice- cipal industry of Windsor, out of town quite a number of years ago. Satellite plants also have moved away or closed up shop, and altogether Windsor isn't what it used to be or hoped to be. That is the allegation of the union people, not this writer's, The Philosophers and observers of suing of Interprovincial Standards make reasonably good profits. There | are other plants that might have gone to Windsor except for Windsor's bad | reputation in this regard. Why does a business seek a particu- | lar community? Undoubtedly there month. And thére is a supply of natural gas, electric power and water, at reasonable rates. And perhaps most important of all, a market. Of the main ingredients, Windsor form- erly had raw material (auto parts), power, and willing workers. Windsor always has been a bit off to one side for the principal Canadian markets When an arbitrator gave labor a for- mula that prevented a worker from being independent of labor leaders, the future began to look poor for what could be and may be vet one of Canada's greater cities. Unionism, having set out (inadvert- ently) to destroy Windsor by causing most employers to shy away from that community, now seeks relief by legis- lation. The premier of Ontario un- doubtedly fistened politely to the ar- guments of the union leaders on this matter of trying to freeze industry to a community. But if the sovereign province of Ontario legislates for the benefit of the United Automobile Workers and thus discriminates against all other communities that are employing industrial commission- ers, the industrial future of Canada is dim indeed. You might just as well passe a law forbidding bankruptey. A STEP FORWARD IN APPRENTICESHIP November 6, 1962 -- The National Apprenticeship Advisory Committee concluded its two-day session Novem- ber 2 in Ottawa with a call for closer integration of apprenticeship with other technical and vocational train- ing programs; the great coordination of apprenticeship training throughout Canada; and the development of in- terprovincial standards in more trades. In a resolution, the Committee, con- sisting of representatives of labour, management and government, recom- mended to all provincial and federal agencies the closer integration of ap- prenticeshiup with other technical and vocational education. Behind the Committee's recommendation was a desire to see an interlocking of all training programs, thereby allowing a person to move unhindered from one to another. This would mean that there would be a smooth flow between ship programs. The use of interpro- vincial examinations is to be extended into six trades." Interprovincial exa- minations are used in all provinces for apprentices registered in a number of trades.

Ontario, which produces half of all the goods manufactured in Canada, must <ell more to the U.S. market. U.S. businessmen should invest more capital in branch plants in Canada and effect more licensing av- rangements with existing Canadian firms, which will help reduce Canada's <crious trade imbalance. } U.S. head offices should free thei Canadian subsidiaries from the ne- of U.S. component parts even though there are Canadian parts comparable in price and quality already available. U.S. head offices should allow their Canadian subsidiaries to compete in the export market. My. Macaulay said Canada welcomes "2 residents and investment capital.
