Are their fears justified? The people banded together about four years ago to fight the building of Rexlington Heights because they feared the area may become a slum. Should we fight the building of the Thistletown project, or shall we look upon it as Mr. Waffle does, as indicaâ€" tive of and necessary for the growth of M . the country? Will there be adequate facilities proâ€" vided for the tenants in the Thistleâ€" town units? Will some residents be alâ€" lowed to spoil the area and the projects equipment for the others? Last week we pointed out some of conditions with which the tenants of Rexlington Heights in Rexdale are at odds. Will these conditions repeat themâ€" selves in the Thistletown project, schâ€" eduled for completion in 1967? Will the Tenants‘ Association and the management of the development be abâ€" le to control the population of the units, w hich may contain almost 6,000 people? What are the dangers of having a 60â€"millionâ€"dollar public and private housing development built in Thistleâ€" town, as is now being planned?

While Christianity may be the way of life of the majority of people in this country every law of this land is subâ€" jugate to the idea we may practice any religious or political ideals we want. The teaching of Christianity in the schools, where children cannot decide what subjects they want to study, is a transgression of our fundamental ideas of democracy. To face facts, the teaching of reliâ€" gious education means the teaching of Christian thoughts and the Christian interpretation of the Bible. "This is our way, the right way" the pupils are taught.

While all people in Canada are needâ€" ed and supposedly equal, we cannot beâ€" lieve piling people together in apartâ€" ments in a country as big as Canada contributes much to Canada‘s national growth. Both Thistletown and Rexdale have One attraction which rates them as imâ€" portant suburbs in Metro. They have, or until recently had, a countryâ€"style livâ€" ing within a few miles of a big city. This asset must be preserved. Thistletown and Rexdale should deâ€" velop strong residents‘ groups devoted to the principle of retaining the wideâ€" openâ€"spaces style of living, and keeping a close eye on the apartment nrajente owners are much more important to the economy of the country, and of the municipality for the simple â€" reason homeowners pay more taxes and are less trouble to the government, and will be as long as apartment buildings are free from business tax, and get rebates from the municipalities for vacancies. Canada, as a nation, does not grow through communal living as in these aâ€" partment projects. Homes and their locations of these publicâ€"private proâ€" jects is coincidental. We believe it should be kept in the churches and in the homes of people who profess to follow a faith, but it should . be kept out of our schools where facts, the customs and traditions of our country, and all sides of every story are of prime importance.

In 1957. the fanatical union was publicly disavowed . by Socred National Leader Solon Low. His affiliation was with the discredited offshoot of the Social Credit movement known in Quebec as the Union des Electeurs. He was the only one of this whiteâ€"bereted, radical group ever to win public office. He sat in the House of Comâ€" mons â€" one of four in the new Social Credit group with parliamentary _ experience â€" as an independent M.P. from 1946 to 1949. The key man in this crazyâ€" quilt Parliament that Canadiâ€" ans elected on June 18 is Real Caouette, a 45â€"yearâ€"old car dealer from Rouyn, Quebec. He has put his own national leader, Robert Thompson â€" of Red Deer, Alta. into a comâ€" plete eclipse. _ What he may do to Mr. Diefenbaker could be even more astonishing. Mr. Caouette has been around for a long time, but hardly anyone had heard of him, much less paid attention to him, until he launched a fiery â€" crusade over Quebec television stations two years ago. Worse still, they are at the mercy of a small, and untried group of Quebec nationalists who appear to be more against everything than for anything, and who will wield an influâ€" ence far out of line with their numbers. Mr. Diefenbaker and his Conservatives are still the Government of the Country. But they have been shorn of most of the power they exerâ€" cised so confidently in the years of their overwhelming parlimentary majority.

And the Quebec h’rex:nd wasn‘t backward about coming forward. It was hardly surprising, then, that Mr. Thompson‘s words of satisfaction over the election results were drowned out by a flood of queries as to Mr. Caouette‘s intentions.

But apart from the inconveniences we think the police cause us, I am very satisfied to be paying taxes which pay the salaries of the officers of the city force. Like you, I don‘t see the whole force in action at one time. Ialso have my little complaints about cops who seem a little too zealous in their duties.

F hope I‘m not taking too much for granted. ON THE ELECTIONS. The most frightening thing I can see in the aftermath of the elections is the inâ€" roads the Social Credit Party is making into Quebec. In the next election, probably to be held before the yearâ€"end, I have a hunch all Quebecois (Frenchâ€" Canadians in that Province) will vote Socred in an effort to turn the tables on the old line parties. The Socreds could wind up with 60 seats, enough to conâ€" trol the government should the Conservatives keep their slim margin of control. This will mean a great deal to the Province of Queâ€" bec, at our expense, since the Province‘s Frenchâ€"Canâ€" adian population is demanding more and more of the federal dollar. The police sergeant in the blue car driving by was the most welcome sight in the world at that time. I flagged him down ,told him my troubles, and with a friendly grin and a casual wave he left, after dashâ€" ing to an allâ€"night garage a mile away, bringing back jumper cables, connecting them, and starting my car. The sergeant even followed me to the station to make sure 1 could keep the old tin lizzie going.
