It is just about time that the fire chiefs and police superintendents got together and recommended ways of controlling the sale and use of fireâ€" crackers to Metro council. Council okayed a recommendation by Alderman James Trimbee that the borough charge one dollar per family for children taking part in the borough‘s learnâ€"toâ€"swim program, . Until now it has been free! Alderman Trimbee believes this nominal fee will reduce the swim dropâ€"outs. He says that when it costs the borough $40,000 to $50,000 to sponsor this course, residents should pay their share. : n Lt . oi r"bp'i;;;in;-{hé idea of charging fees were Mayor Jack Mould, aldermen Jack Gallichan and Lgonard‘_(}e‘ary.

During the past week I‘ve been scanning the newspapers and religiously watching the television _ news _ broadcasts too, with the hope of finding clues to the causes of the May 3, 1968 revolution. And only clues are all that there are to be found. This is what the wire services report: 1. University students in Paris want education reform â€" the education system is apparentâ€" ty years behind the times and there is really very little freeâ€" dom of thought and discussion on campus; 2. six million workers are on strike to back up demands for more pay, job security and shorter hours; 3. the French government is a vast bureaucratic machine centred in Paris and is almost completely out of touch with the needs and aspirations of the common people. Most of us will agree that these are legitimate gripes that have to be reckoned with, but in themselves they do not seem to be enough to make alâ€" most half of a nation‘s 15 million member working force lay down their tools and bring France into a state of econâ€" omic paralysis. After all beefs, about wages, needed educaâ€" tion reforms, and bureaucracy have been resolved in France by negotiation before. Why has mob rule taken over this time? Because of the paralyâ€" sis, people are beginning to go hungry in Paris and soon the garbage piled on the streets will attract the rats and serious epedemics. Is a 50 sou wage inâ€" crease worth this? I don‘t think that these grievances are the cause of the people‘s reâ€" volt, I suspect they are merely symptoms of the effect. By FRAZER CACHE Not since July 14, 1789 when a Parisian mob stormed the Bastille marking the outâ€" break of the French revoluâ€" tion has France been in such a state of ferment.

The latter group does most of the teaching in the Borough and includes some ef the finest teachers in the Province. Their exclusion from music teaching will deprive them of a conveniâ€" ent side income, but, more imâ€" portant, will deprive at least twoâ€"thirds of Etobicoke childâ€" ren of a music teacher, leavâ€" ing them with nowhere else to go. As president of the Etobiâ€" coke branch of the Ontario Reâ€" gistered Music Teachers‘ Asâ€" sociation, may 1 address this letter to the musicâ€"minded parâ€" ents of the Borough. The question of whether to allow music teaching in private studios in the home has two viewpoints, that of the teacher and that of the parent. Dear Sir: The Royal Conservatory has two branches in Etobicoke, filled to capacity. Wellâ€"estabâ€" lished full time teachers have waiting lists. Most of these teach in their homes but are in a position to rent an office in a business area if necesâ€" sary. However, if forced to do this, a higher tuition fee to cover the rental and an inâ€" convenience to the neighborâ€" hood they now serve would result. Many teachers have in their studios special equipment that cannot be used if house carried all the way through to Grade 13 because far too many parents are not capable of properly fulfilling this function. # Since then a few more thoughts came to mind, some expressed in the sune issue of Chatelaine and others my own. One of the reasons, | heâ€" lfeve, that there should be far more discussion and study of male â€" female _ relationships among students and teachers at all grade levels is the claim by writer June Callwood that between 25 p.c. and 50 p.c. of women are frigid. This means that love and mating to millions in Canada is someâ€" thing that is tolerated but not enjoyed. Her Chatelaine artâ€" icle further stated that usualâ€" ly there is no reason other than emotion. upbringing and (Continued on page 5) NORTH PARK PLAZA 2496951 What makes a just society? to house teaching is done, as has been suggested. This might well include a grand piano â€" two if concerto work is done â€" tape recorders, record libâ€" raries and reference libraries. A travelling teacher can only cope with twoâ€"thirds of his usâ€" val student load due to travel time and would result in highâ€" ®r fees. Further, teachers who are mothers of young children cannot be away from home during music teaching hours â€" after school and in the evâ€" enings. School Boards are not very sympathetic to the sugâ€" gestion of private teaching in school property â€"â€" understandâ€" ably, for who could attend to teaching and at the same time keep an eye on the children coming and going inside the school. Teachers in Toronto have for many years been teaching in their homes without comâ€" There can be no just society without the reform of the preâ€" sent unfair taxâ€"system. There can be no true democracy without government by the people â€" for the people. There can be no order, peace and happiness without equal educational and economic opâ€" portunities for everyone. Those who advocate a just society, but at the same time accept financial support from those opposed to any reform, must be considered hypocrites. Top officials of both the old parties have admitted, that substantial support is received from the big business interâ€" ests. Does anyone therefore really expect, that such an administration will act in the best interest af the public? For the obvious reason any promise coming from those, must be declared deceptive. W.

It can offer him an absorbing interest and the pleasure derived from both playing and> listening, for in performing one also learns to listen, will give him happiness throughout his life.
