pr "S'fAR [Editorial Page Make Boating Safe - With , the warmer weather now approaching, actually hun- dreds of erafts of various sizes will be cruising on Lake Scugog. Every cottage owner around the lake have some type of pleasure craft, and although most operators abide by laws and regulations there are al- ways the few wreckless who spoil the fun for others by ig- noring what was meant for pro- tection of all. For the benefit for those who need it, here is a short course from the Ontario Safety League on required equipment and the operation of outboard powered boats up to 18 feet in length: All boats powered by 10 horsepower or more are re- quired to be licensed. A license may be obtained at any Cus- tom's office. All' boats powered by 10 horsepower or more and 16 feet or under in length must have a Department of Transport horse- power and load Recommenda- tion Plate attached. - Applica- tion forms for the Recommen- dation Plate may be obtained from the Department of Trans- - port in Ottawa. All power and sail boats must carry an approved lifejacket for - each passenger, two oars and oar locks or two paddles, a bail- ing bucket or bilge pump, and show regulation navigation lights if operating between sun- set and sunrise. When meeting, keep to the right. When overtaking, pass on the right or left, but the boat you are overtaking has the right of way. A boat approach- ing on your right or starboard side has the right of way. Hand- propelled boats and boats un- der sail have the right of way over powered pleasure craft ex- - cept if overtaking. All pleasure craft must give way to large commercial ships because of -personation of voters. Do You Remember? their inability to stop and man- oeuvre quickly... © NOTE: Penalties under the above Regulations: fines up to $100.00. CRIMINAL CODE LAWS These laws cover dangerous operation of power boats, oper- ation while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and failure to stop at the scene of an acci- dent. in which your boat has been involved to give identifica- tion and assistance. NOTE: Penalties under the Criminal Code include: fines up to $500.00, prevention of opera- ting a pleasure boat up to two years and imprisonment. ' - Voters May Be Asked To Swear Oath A voter is not required to produce any identification at a federal election polling station, but he can be asked to swear an oath. This provision of the law is supposed to guard against im- The identity of a person coming into a polling station to vote may be challenged by the deputy re- turning officer or any of the two scrutineers each candidate is allowed to have in the station. In urban polling stations the oath takes the form of an affi- davit. In rural areas the oath is taken orally and only by the voter who has been challenged. This differs from the procedure used when a person whose name has been omitted from the vot- ers' list swears an oath at the polling station and another vot- er on the list must back his word with an oath. Oaths are considered neces- sary in some instances because of the ease with which docu- ments, even birth certificates, can be forged. 50 YEARS AGO Thurs., June 6th, 1918 Council concluded that they could worry along with a tax rate of 32 mills on the dollar.

It's good therapy, and if you try it, you'll learn something about yourself. I like sleeping and can sleep 14 hours without a twinge of guilt. But I don't like going to bed. Seems such a waste of time. And | hate getting up, but | like being alive and part of the human race, once I've groped through that first fearsome fog of reality. I like sports, but not the spectator variety. I love to fish for speckles, all alone in a vasty swamp; to deliver a curling stone right on the nose; to sink the black ball in the corner pocket; to make one crisp golf shot out of three. But I wouldn't give 20 cents for a ticket to the World Series or the Grey Cup final. : I like parades, any kind; trees, any kind; grass, green; water, rough or calm, green or blue; babies, either sex. I dislike Italian food, Chinese food: and most other "foreign" foods. Yet, when we go out to eat, I'm always the guy who orders something exotic like jugged hare or boeuf sauvage or chicken moulin rouge, only to find that I'm eating baked bunny, raw hamburg or fried chicken with paprika sprinkled on it. And yet I love swill. That's what you get when you decide to have something different. Like the other night. Things were not marching in the cuisine. In fact, the stove hadn't even been turned on. So I pitched in. Literally. I pitched in a can of salmon, one of mushroom soup, one of vegetable soup, one of wieners and beans. Then I pitched in all the leftovers in the refrigerator; a chunk of corned beef, a glob of cheese, half a tomato, some olives, two hard-boiled eggs and four limpish sardines. It was delicious. - In fact, it was so good _ that the rest of the family couldn't bear to desecrate my masterpiece by eating it, and I had it three times a day, for three days. On toast. I even gave it a name-- Then Burning Belch. I like women and men, in that order. Women, because they're not like men, and men because they're not like women. I like fires, everything from bonfire to barnfire. Though I'm bone-lazy. I actu- ally like work. And I love loafing in the backyard, with a cold beer, and the black squirrels and the cocky robins. - 1 like shaving, but despise electric razors. I like peace and order, but my study is a model of confusion, and my life is a mas- terpiece of strife, internal and external. I like to be alone but I hate loneliness. 1 like money, but it apparently doesn't like me. 1 like people, especially those with cour- age and humor, but I dislike mobs. I de- test violence, but I love western movies in which ten people bite the dust. I could write a book about the things I like, a few paragraphs about those I don't. But, as you have craftily surmised, all this is leading up to something. 1 HATE PAINTING and DECORATING. . Sorry to shout like that, but it's true.
