Ltd. W. S. COOK, Publisher “Second class mail, registration number 0190" 'l'he Destructive I left The middle class throughout the free world is under constant harass- ment these days from a militant, vio- lent and dedicated group of left-wing revolutionaries who are bent on the final destruction of our way of life. They want to replace our society, our values, our traditions with a Com- munist, collective type of society where the well-being of the individ- ual is subordinate to the will of the state â€" a state and a government which will not tolerate the ordinary free play of diverse political thought in the community and which will in- stall a Communist dictatorship and complete the farce by calling it a “people’s democracy”. _The left-wing, by infiltrating and manipulating the “hippie” element in moiety, is making a determined efâ€" fort to take over our universities and, in the process, destroy academic free- dom. Those responsible for the administration of our universities should stand f i rm against the marches, sit-ins and the noisy threats of thisvocal minority. These young people are not interested in further- ing their education in tax-supported institutions but’instead they look on the universities as a vehicle to Com- munist power. East York Mayor True Davids0n has resigned from the board of direcâ€" tors of the Metro Social Planning Council in protest against its take- over by the New Left. In announc- ing her resignation Miss Davidson said, “once you begin to pit your own judgments before the judgments of society, and put violence and the use of threats before law and order, then democracy is dead". If we allow a breakdown in law and order to take place, if We allow a ruthless, mis- guided minority to destroy our free institutions then we all shall be los- ers. The maintenance of law and order is basic to the creation of a satâ€" isfactory climate in which the parlia- mentary process can grow and devel- op and, in doing So, meet the chang- ing patterns of society. Marches and sit-ins may be “par- ticipatory democracy” but they can- not supplant and can only marginally influence the ordinary, representative democracy of elections and rule by law. The (ultimate logic of direct ac- tion, of bloodshed and the destruction of public and private property is rev- olutiOn. Sooner or later, those who engage in politics have to Confront the truth that politics is concerned not only with ideas and ideals but film with interests and institutions. Even when revolutions succeed, the practice of “new politics” soon beâ€" comes old politics becauso the selfish, private interests of human beings and the hard facts of exercising power through large,'bureaucratic in- stitutions are still at Work. It is an old dream that mankind can escape these limits of the human condition and somehow create a New Jerusa- lem, but it is only a dream. r Yonge Not Throughwuy Markham Township Director of 'Planning Kunio Hidaka has alerted Southern York‘ County to a destruc- tive danger facing communities in the Yonge 'Street corridor. . Planner Hidaka particularly singled out the Town-of~ Richmond Hill as , being threatened with a kind of devel- opment death. ' should surely be noted equally by Thornhill, Langstaff, Riohvale, Oak Ridges and Yonge Street commun- ities to the‘ north. Mr. Hidaka sees a basic conflict of interest between the local commun- ities and what apparently is the policy being promoted by the prov- incial Department of Highways and echoed in a York County planning office report. The issue is clear. Either provincial plans to increase the use of Yonge Street as a high speed and high volume through high- way must’ be stOpped, or Richmond Hill and thee other communities_will be split. Communities and neighborhood ties years in the making are not some- thing which should be sacrificed to slide rule thinking at the Queen’s Park bureaucracy. We agree wholeheartedly with the. York County planning office recom- LET QUEBEC SEPARATE But his warning, and press will soou wither and a1" mendation that the Yonge Street cor- ridor urgently needs attention. We must strive to make it much safer, more beautiful and more useful. Planners in Markham, Vaughan, Whitchurch and King TOWnships, and in Richmond Hill, should be paying increasing attention to the condition of Yonge Street. Indeed, Yonge Street improvements are even now underway in the town and great effort is being exerted by citizens and businessmen to do a good job. Many of the improvements recom- mended in the York County planning report should be implemented. But we agree with the Markham Township planning director th at Yonge Street must not become a throughway. Yonge Street must remain a local highway for traffic with either a local destination or a local point of departure. If through traffic needs more room, the province should get on with another route like Highway 400. The propOSed Highway 404 on the West side of Don Mills Road (Woodbine Avenue) is the place for through traffic. Queen’s Park should leave our local communities in one piece. , that Canada -- as any other die.

I would disagree, however. with the crooked thinking that ‘equates individual enterprise nvith personal selfishness as the practical basis for a successful personal life and a harmonious social life. Individual enterprise and strong moral fibre are to be found in many walks of life and in many persons whose living may spring from private busi- lness, from government duties for from employment by huge. impersonal concerns such as General Motors. It is doubtful to me that the search for more .dollars at any cost to other ,people is, especially" conducive to strong moral fibre: and .whilst it certainly is lme that it is a natural desire to make your own way. it is surely quite .as true that it is also a natural desire to help others and oneâ€"l iself at the same time. , As for the quotation from ‘.\\’inston Churchill â€" whoever :wishes. intends or is actually building a "society in which noâ€"l body counts for anything â€" where enterprise gains no re- ward. and thrift no prhileges"?

Ilium Keno- The Important Role Of The Surveyor ‘ Survey parties doing their field ‘work with theodolite and tape are a common sight during the fine weather. The instrumentman, peering through a transit (theodolite) as it is commonly called, and the chainmen out measuring distances seem just a natural part of the Scenery. _ Without the Surveyor, the Opening up of the North American continent would have been hamp- ered. Always advancing with the pioneer home- steader and builder and often well ahead of them, the surveyor provided that slender but indispensable vanguard without which settlement wbuld have been utterly chaotic and lawles: ' j" , H, Surveying has been defined a thelart onscience of measuring the physiCal featur‘es and boundaries of any portion of the earth’s surface and delineating them clearly on a map or plan. The part of the earth’s surface to be surveyed varies from contin- ents to foundations for cottages. There are many specialties in the field of surveying. Geodetic, surveyors make precise surveys of large areas taking into account the curved surface of the earth. Topographic surveyors delineate the physical features and configurations of land surfacos such as mountains, lakes, rivers; and the location of cities, tunnels and routes of one kind and another. Hydrographic surveyors measure the depth of water in lakes and rivers. Mine surveyors establish the length and direction of mine shafts (vertical) and adits (horizontal). Construction surveyors set out the stakes to guide construction crews and’land sur- veyors make all the surveys pertaining to property boundaries. Land surveyors constitute the largest group. Surveyors may be professionals or technicians. It is a field women may enter, but so far it is pre- dominantly male. Surveyors seldom work alone. The typical sur- vey party consists of three or mere men â€" the chief, who may be a licensed surveyor, plus two or three technicians. g The instrument man sets up and operates such instruments as the theodolite, transit, level, telluro- meter and geodimeter. The chainmen measure dis- tances and the rodmen use a level rod or range pole to assist in measuring elevations, distances and directions. In addition there may be axemen to help clear lines through bush and forest and to perform other simple tasks. Most apprentice surveyors carry out all these tasks at some stage of their career for there is no better preparation for the man who plans to direct work himself. Surveying is one of the most diversified Occu- pations in Canada, in terms of employment, residence and opportunities for advancement. Basically three types of career are open â€" licensed surveyor, survey engineer and survey technician. The licensed surveyor may set himself up in (Continued on Page 14) miflces have been asked to consider uhy a particular course is being taught. why it is being taught in a par- ticular school. whether the present curriculum is saus- factory and, if, not. how it should be changed.

Being something of a rebel, I offended on both scores, to the discomfiture of my mother, and the delight of my radical father. It is this separation of belief from living, which still exists in far too many quarters, that is responsible for the more obvious divisions in humanity. Christian and Jew, Protestant and Roman Catholic, black and white, each is bounded by his own dogma and hang-ups, and each believes himself to be of the chosen people and the devil take the rest. I’ve always liked (‘2) the story of a heaven composed of many walled cities, with every sect snug behind its own high wall, ignorant of the fact that the other guys got a place up there as well. Love thy neighbor still means to get on with those socially acceptable in one’s own circle, and young people proclaiming peace, love and brother- hood of man are labelled irresponsible cranks, and we look for the needle marks. As in the old days at the dinner table I’ve taken religion out of its tidy corner, and for a good reason. Many of you will have heard of the Baha’i Commun- ity, but may not understand the full significance of its .aim, and the steps that are being taken to achieve it. For over 100 years, the movement has been spreading the teaching of Baha’u’llah, founder of the community, which is now established in 30,000 centres in oVer 130 nations. The founder predicted a world-wide social change of sweeping proportions, both materially and spirit- ually. It is with the latter that the Baha’i is con- cerned, and since it is the youth of the world who are most sensitive to the change occurring in the structure of society at all levels, it is to youth that the movement has its greatest appeal. These are the people on whom the future depends, and the ideals of Baha’i offer new hope on a pretty murky horizon. - The central message of the Baha’i community is the complete unification of all mankind as the only remedy for the ills which beset us. While this sounds a rather far-flung and nebulous ideal which has been preached before only to be overlaid by the arrogance of man, the ideal being lost and forgotten beneath a welter of form, liturgy and often bigotry, the members of the community are taking practical steps to reclaim those who have dropped out through despair and lack of any constructive alternatives, and one of the first rules of Baha’i is “no drinks, no drugs". Many addicted to both have been reclaimed and given new purpose, including well-known entertain- ers and musicians. There is no evangelism in the community, certainly no tub-thumping or hallelujas, but, to quote one of the members, “These young people are vital, lively and ‘with it’, having a sense ' of direction and ‘high’ on happiness and brother- (Continued on Page 14) sider if 1hev can help in ment in all schools and con- placcmcnl of graduates and sidercd what the curriculm or dropouts fro m the should be to prepare yielding course. students for jobs in industry.
