For many it is the first weekâ€"end they could get away from the city jobs and be assured they did not have to race back to the city the next day. That there will be a near record number of cars on the highwly" is almost a forgone conclusion. One little moment of carelessness will put you in collision with another car. Are you going to take that chance? Modern car driving is so different from what it was even ten years ago. There are few hours of the day or night that you can have the road to yourself. Possibly there are a couple of hours durâ€" ing the early morning when traffic is comparatively light, but even then you contend with night travelling transports and the farmers who are not loth to rise early if it means getting to market sooner. Traffic will probably be heavier been at any time this year. w-ma&flmmomg While no way has ever been found of controlling the actions of all drivers on the road, you can govern your own. Don‘t take chances where they are not necessary. Don‘t drive at a rate of speed where you have little or no control of your car. Contrary to popular belief, high speed is not the worst killer on the highway. It is speed coupled with carelessness, with drinkâ€" ing, with taking chances, with showing off, that takes lives. Probably the two worst menaces on our roads today are tha bicycles and the slow "Sunday" driver. Under the Highways Act the bicycles are legal, or they are on some roads and the slow driver while there is a law against his type of driving is practically immune because the police do not act against him. So regardless of where you turn, the state of your health and that of the passengers in your car is pretty much up to you as an individual driver. You can drive sanely and have a happy holiday. You can take chances and take a life. Just don‘t forget one thing. The life you may take may be your own! Progress in the form of a headquarters for the Waterioo Chamâ€" ber of Commerce has been made. The Waterloo Council at their meeting on Monday night of this week decided, at the request of the Chamber‘s president, to provide an office and phone in the city hall for the use of the Chamber of Commerce. This is the first time this important body has had any kind of location where people interested in dealing with them, could get in touch with them. Formerly, dinner meeting were held at some hotel, and between meetings unless a person knew one of the memâ€" bers personally there was no way of contacting the Chamber at all. This body has at last been recognized for its importance. The funny part of the recognition is that it was probably gained during the time the Chamber was more or less dormant as a whole, but still had several of their more active members working. 'l?ese men did such outstanding work the attention of the whole city‘ was fastened on the Chamber of Commerce. For the first time people began to realize just what these men could do if given the opportunity. A. M. Snider, president of the Chamber of Commerce not only asked for an office and telephone but also for a fullâ€"time secretary to look after the work of the Chamber between meetings. This man would look after all calls and also make contacts with new businesses wishing to locate here. He in turn would report to the Chamber and they would take it up with council. The request for a fullâ€"time secretary was turned down for the present time; but there is every indication that in the very near future if the request is kept alive, such a person will be provided. There is little reason why he could not easily justify his position in a city growing as rapidly as Waterloo. They tell us that there are ten thousand or more patterns of artiâ€" ficial trout flies! Regardless of this impressive total, you don‘t need to worry if your tackle box only holds a minor portion of these. We have perhaps fifty difâ€" ferent paiterns in our own box,. but they serve mostly as a decorâ€" ation!

A little noval of the fly. and or (The Printed Word) 2 A recent newspaper report tells of a man who has been conâ€" victed and sentenced on charges of making false income tax returns. On one count he was condemned to serve three months in jail and pay a fine of $30,000, or to serve another twelve months in default of payment. On a second count the penalty was $15,000 or eight months, In minor police court cases, of the drunk and disorderiy variety, a common penalty used to be ten dollars or ten days. On that basis, the equivalent of a $45,000 fine would be about 123 years, but subject to time off for good behaviour. This raises the question of whether judges are inclined to be relatively more lenient towards the serious offender, or whether they are recognizing that inflation has so reâ€" duced the value of a dollar that a redpuced equivalent in time is only fair In the case in question, since the comvict, failing a suocessful appeal of sentence, will have to serve three months at least, he might find it economic to pay his fines by serving the full twentyâ€" three. The extra months in jail would not increase his disgrace, and an inflated penny saved is still a penny earned. ‘!\uâ€"\d.‘.fl earned over a period of twentyâ€"three months is not to be sneezed at. Moreover, it presumably would be free of income tax. F;her Editors Say... } THERE‘S SOMETHING WRONG (From Financial Post) There‘s something extremely odd when a Labor Board in Canâ€" ada goes out of its way to defend a Communistâ€"run union. When Canada‘s first atom plant at Trail, B.C., is involved, it becomes a case of national importance. This plant, employing 4,000, has been engaged in work related to the atomic energy program for several years, All this time, the labor force has been under control of know Communists Knowing what we know of how the Communists infiltrate, it is no coincidence that they are there. For nearly two years now, the antiâ€"Communist Steel union has been trying to wrest bargaining rights away from the Communists. Last week, the B.C. Labor Board rejected the Steel union‘s latest move. In a 14â€"page report, the Board sets down its reasons. Those reéasons may or may not be sound. But there seems to be no reason for the Board making this statement: "No proof was brought Communistâ€"dominated." That‘s the sort of ostrichâ€"approach that only helps the Communâ€" ists. The B.C. Labor Board mustâ€"or canâ€"know as well as any informed labor man in Canada that the Mine, Mill and Smeiter Worker‘s union, is one of the tightest Communistâ€"contffolled outfts in this country or the United States. A special CIO Investigating Committee found 90% of its officers were Communists! that the union was run by a fourâ€"man steering committee that was in constant consultation with top U.S. party leaders, including William Z. Foster. The B.C. Board may be right or wrong in its decision not to reopen the case, although a Supreme Court judgment says it should. But in these perilous days, there seems to be no justification whatâ€" ever for an official government body befuddling the public by issuâ€" ing that sort of misleading information. The Canada Labor Board, when faced with basically the same problem, acted far more realistically. It decertified the Communistâ€" run Seamen‘s union on the grounds that it was no longer a trade union in the true sense of the word. In so doing, it virtually eliminâ€" ated the CSU from the Great Lakes. This and individual screening of seamen minimizes danger on the Great Lakes. HE EXAGGERATES FACTS â€" (The Printed Word) Now and then one hears that C. H. Millard, leader of the steelâ€"workers‘ union and CCF member of the Ontario legislature, is an idealist, sincere and competent. But at a recent public meeting Mr. Millard asserted that shareâ€" holders of The Steel Company of Canada were now receiving five times as much in dividends as they did before a recent split in the shares of the company. And before anyone could call him a liar or an ignoramus he proceeded with the usual socialist tirade about alleged "monopoly capitalism". By the time he paused for breath, the meeting wanted to go home. The record shows that where a shareholder got $4 before the split he now gets $5.50. Maybe Mr. Millard mislearned the fiveâ€" times table when young. The increases in Stelco dividends since 1979 have been much less than the handsome increases accorded Mr. Millard‘s steel workers. Stelco management has used most of the profits to provide new plant and equipment so that, in spite of higher wages, the prices of the company‘s products have not inâ€" creased to a point where sales resistance would cause a decline in production and employment. * (The Pilot‘s Log) Between the innocence of babyhood and the dignity of manâ€" hood we find a delightful creature called a boy. Boys come in assortâ€" ed sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the same creed: To enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to protest with noise (their only weapon)}) when their last minute is finished and the adult males pack them off to bed at night. ‘ Boys are found everywhergâ€"on top of, underneath, inside o!‘, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to. Mothâ€" ers love them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers tolerâ€" ate them, adults ignore them, and Heaven protects them. A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair, and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket. A boy is a compositeâ€"he has the appetite of a horse, the digesâ€" tlon of a sword swallower, the energy of a pocketâ€"size atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the lungs of a dictator, the imagination of a Paul Bunyan, the shyness of a violet, the audacity of a steel trap, the enthusiasm of a fire cracker, and when he makes something he has five thumbs on each hand. When your are busy, a boy is an inconsiderate, bothersome, inâ€" truding jangle of noise. When you want him to make a good imâ€" pression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a savage, sadistic, jungle creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it. He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, the boy across the street, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday School, company, schools, books without picâ€" tures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper. Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes. Nobody else can ctam into one pocket a rusty knife, a halfâ€"eaten apple, 3 feet of string, an empty Bull Durham sack, 2 gum drops, 6 cents, a sling shot, a chunk of unknown substance, and a genuine superâ€"sonic code ring with a secret compartment. A boy is a magical creatureâ€"you can lock him out of yout work shop, but you can‘t lock him out of your heart. You can get him out of your study, but you can‘t get him out of your mind. Might as well give upâ€"he is your captor, your jailer, your boss, and your masterâ€"a freckledâ€"face, pintâ€"sized, catâ€"chasing, bundle of noise. But when you come home at night with only the shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with the two magic wordsâ€""Hi Dad!\" WHAT IS A BOY? that Local 480 of Mineâ€"Mill was Â¥HB WATBRLOO 32 Ouluto) CHRONICLE & Canadiana: From the Powâ€" ell River (B.C.)
