York council was informed recently of the policy set out by the police board with respect to the use of audio surveillance equipment and extracts from these minutes tell of the desirability of using this equipment to track down the criminal element of society. This is the big question facing the Federal Minister of Justice and the one on which the Metropolitan Board of Commissioners of Police would like to have the final say. The city of Toronto has shown its disapproval of the use of wire tapping equipment or electronic devices to intercept conversations of any sort, until the Federal Government introduces legislation to define, control and authorize its use. York has already given its approval. ‘ We agree with the police board that "within a democratic social order, the law must always attempt to balance the interests of the whole society and the rights of the individual citizens." "At what point do the rights and freedom of the individual become less important than the rights of society, and who should have the right to make the final decision on this matter?" Since this equipment is available to the public, in order to fight crime effectively the police should also be able to use it. It is in our own interests that we afford our keepers of the peace effective means to keep the peace.

Popular writers (and popular myth) sometimes ascribe wilder activity and motives to â€" recruits. In actual fact, the greatest advantages of a Service career can be encompassed by the words, "training, responsibility, security, maturity, opportunity". in the eager scramble for retiring military personnel by private industry. With retire ment from the Canadian Forces usual at ages between 40 and 50, thousands of former servicemen have been recruit ed by private companies and employed for t heir skills in ad ministration and management. But even parents find it difficult to look so far ahead in â€" helping their children plan a career. So let‘s examine some of the shortâ€"term benefits of life in the Canadian Forces, without thinking in terms of a 20â€"year career. Probably the best testimonial _ available to people anxious to describe the advantages of an Armed Forces‘ career can be found The best way to briefly illustrate this claim is to give you a thumbnail sketch of several young people who are _ employed in â€" the Canadian Forces at the moment you are reading this article. Here they are: 1. Consider a 19â€"yearâ€"old youth: A few months ago he lived at home, argued goodâ€"naturedly with his kid sister, had difficulty remembering to put his clothes in the wash, and was considered by Dad to be a THE WESTON TIMES 2. At the same moment a 21 y earâ€"old infantry corporal is in Cyprus. His judgement, his calmness and appearance makes _ the difference between a riot â€" or war â€" and peace, as he stands. sentry on aâ€"lookout point located between two antogonistic groups of people. It‘s hard to realize that this same young man had trouble quelling q uarrels between his younger brothers and sisters a few years ago. Yet today he is a global diplomat, a representative both of Canada and of the United Nations, and in one of Canada‘s best and youngest traditions, helping to keep the peace in whatever part of the globe his presence risk when he used the family car once a week. Today, the same youth is well along in his training as an officer Cadet. Soon, he will be granted a Queen‘s Commission and will be promoted to _ Lieutenant rank. in the Canadian Armed Forces. The new officier will take his place in an o perational environment with responsibility for men, equipment and materials. This _ responsibility _ will demand of him important decisions on which life itself may depend. He is now a man! . Bouquet for Controller White Dear Madam, I agree wholeâ€"heartedly with your editorial of May 15, 1969 â€" Day Care â€" a vital issue. A 1t ho ug h 1t 18 commendable _ that the Mayor of our municipality is now going to hold discussions with the York Board of Education co ncerning t he establishment of a day care centre in the new George Syme school, I would be remiss in There has been quite a hassle recently at Queen‘s Park over the fee increase the province‘s doctors voted themselves last April 1st. The Government has brought in a bill to raise OMSIP payments to meet the new fee schedule; you can bet before long there‘ll be another boost in the OMSIP premiums. _ . The Government at first failed to give notice of their bill, so it was withdrawn over Easter. Last week, when it came back, our party tried to move an unusual motion to block the bill: ‘the Speaker ruled us out of order. Before long, the bill will be up for debate. Our point is that the Government â€" should insist on the doctor‘s rolling back their fee increase. They should not be permitted to unilaterally alter the financial basis of their participation in the public health insurance program. That should only be done after consultation, and in a manner responsible to the Legislature. The Government should my duty as 3. A young, 19â€"yearâ€"old lady _ who _ may _ have attended high school dances with either of the young men described above is in Key West, Florida, today. After‘ sixteen weeks of intensive and concentrated basic training, she had been selected for a special 6â€"week course in oceanography at the U.S. Navy Fleet School in Key West. When her training is complete, she will serve at Canada‘s Oceanographic Es t a blis h m ent a t Shelbourne, Nova Scotia. She will have become a highlyâ€"skilled radar plotter, one of select and carefullyâ€"trained group of competent â€" ladies â€" serving with out Canadian Forces. How long has it been, one wonders, since this young lady had difficulty remembering when to turn off the oven or help Mom defrost the ‘fridge‘? may be needed. 4. Somewhere in the Atlantic, tonight, a young seaman will man a lookout station on a â€" Canadian destroyer. He has been in the Navy for two years. His unswerving attention to his duty tonight will insure the lives of his crewmates, or perhaps the lives of men on a lost fishing trawler adrift off the Grand Banks. design a formula which would ensure some public control over the rise of doctors‘ fees in Ontario. It should _ be _ possible to establish an overâ€"all ceiling percentage increase, within w hich the medical profession would have to work. Its purpose would be to keep payments under the insurance program in line with changes in the cost of living and with wage levels. president of our association if I did not advise you that it was Controller Phil White who was the first and only elected member to publicly discuss and debate the incorporation of a day care centre in the school at our ratepayer‘s â€" meeting on March 4, 1969. Board of Education â€" officials with Trustee F. Oke were present at this meeting. * Council subsequently passed a â€" motion _ put forward by Controller White Doctors would be free to make specific fee changes, so long as the total impact did not exceed the percentage laid down in the formula. In a word, guidelines for the doctors. There should also be a much greater degree of accountability by the profession ; through, I suggest, the Legislature‘s Standing _ Committee â€" on Health,. This is where fee increases should be justified, with the doctors , being represented by the College of Physicians and Surgeons. Until we _ get _ this accountability, and until there has been produced acceptable guidelines, the THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1969 The classic phrase that "military _ service â€" builds manhood‘ is as true today as anytime in history. But the adulthood developed in our Canadian Forces is not the rough and brawling image portrayed in motion pictures and fiction novels. Instead, we build people capable of making refined judgements, who are able to exercise responsibility in an intelligent way, men â€" and women â€" able to serve as Canadian representatives around the world. Wherever they have served in the world, Canadian Military personnel are known, as the most skilled and competent in their profession. There‘s â€" nothing _ very dramatic about any of these brief stories. Yet each illustrates the breadth of responsibility and, in a small way, the final results of many hours of training, given to each member of our Canadian Forces. Given â€" the _ notâ€"soâ€"raw material of Canadian youth, the Canadian Forces are developing, not just the best military personnel in the world, but the best people. It‘s a proud and responsible tradition in Canada â€" a career which any parent can happily recommend to his children: urging that Metro Welfare discuss with our Board of Education ways and means to provide public day care centres in the west end of the borough where there is a growing need for this type of facility. Controller White is to be congratulated on his concern and participation in the needs of our community. o e There was an earlier fee increase two years ago, when we went through exactly the same process. At that time, Health Minister Dymond told the House how unhappy he was about the hike, and how he was going to set up procedures which in the future would provide "prior consultation and joint agreement‘" between the doctors and the Government â€" before _ any action was taken. recent doctors‘ fee hike should be rolled back. This can be done by refusing to change the present OMSIP payment rate, and by not allowing doctors to double bill their patients. No such agreement or consultation seems to have been employed this year. And so the Opposition is settling in for a long battle to _ protect the _ public insurance plan and to keep meéeldical costs down. ) I wish we could have a little more hope that the Government would take this action. Fact is, they seem unable to cope with the powerful doctors‘ lobby ; or else, they go along with the doctors. _ Jack Crawford President George Syme Ratepayers‘ Assoc &
