It's been over two years since Joe Cocker has had an album released in Canada. However, Cocker's last al- bum. ‘Joe Cocker', (his fourth at the time) was hardly his finest, for it con- sisted mainly of material that had been recorded much earlier. Cocker‘s ‘finest album would have to have been his first album. ‘With A Little Help From My Friends', which was record- ed in 1967. Featuring some of the most prominent names in English rock, (such as Denny Cordell producer of Move and Procol Harum), Steve Winwood and Jimmy Page, ‘With A Little Help From My Friends‘ gave Cocker world - wide ex- posure. Anticipating the municipal elections in Demember, the Bor- ough of York has passed a bylaw prohibiting posting of election signs on public property. The ex- ception will be two or three large signs to be erected in each ward listing, in alphabetical order, the candidates for the ward. Cost of the signs will come out of public There is merit in this plan. It will help to cut down the forest of signs that inevitably crop up like mushrooms on every street and byway and vacant lot in mad profusion (and confusion). It will also cut back on the personal costs incurred by those seeking election. funds. We are pleased to see that the borough is not outlawing election signs on private property, how- ever, as has been proposed by some politicians in municipalities in the Region of York. Individ- uals should have the right to give public support to the candidate, or candidates, of their choice and put signs on their own front lawns if they so desire. Candidates, too, should have the right to such public pronounce- ment of‘ their intention to seek office as councillor, mayor, school trustee or whatever.

His live performances. somewhat dynamic â€" while to others revolting, displayed an unstoppable, twisted per- son, bellowing out vocals with brute-power. This is nothing short of spectacular. While most of Cocker's mat- erial is written by others (including the likes of Bob Dylan. Randy Newman. Gregg Allman, Leonard Co- hen and John Lennon-Paul McCartney), it has earned Joe the reputation of being one of the best interpretive singers to ever come along in rock music; A large field divided into small plots on which are luxuriant growths of all kinds of vegetables, occupied by family groups hoeing, cultivating, weeding, hilling and harvesting â€" this is becoming a familiar sight around large met- ropolitan centres on this continent. The families who are enjoying the muscle-stretching exercise, getting their hands into the earth and relishing the unmatchable flavor of vegetables harvestedfresh from their own gardens, come mostly from high-rise apartment build- ings. To understand Cocker’s music. one has to under- stand Cocker himself, (noted for his prolonged periods of disillusionment), who isn't singing with a harmonious voice. but with guts, pas- sion and raging intensity. I. for one, can't get into all of Cocker's music, for some of it is just too demanding, and in some cases, frighten- ing, for my liking. But even so. I can't help but admire this human being. who, along with his sincerity, is able to put so much of his personal anquish and passion into music.

It is a demand- ing and often thankless task, and even to stand for election can be a costly business. Cutting down on that cost is a step in the right direction and will hopefully en- courage more public-minded cit- izens to come forward. The biggest item on the cand- idate’s budget is usually the cost of informing the public that he is standing for election and why. Restriction on the number of signs that may be posted on public property will serve as a bit of an equalizer, giving the man with a low budget a better chance in comâ€" peting against the man with the unlimited budget. It will also help to eliminate much of the litter that we have become resigned to when an election is pending.

Likely Story is this year’s CNE Green Conformation Hunter Stake chamâ€" pion and also won on total points in five open classes against older exper- ienced horses. Competition was keen against 25 entries from an area ranging between London and Montreal. The Gayford family of Highway 7, Gormley, this summer at the shows found they had a real winner in Likely Story, a four-year-old hunter acguired from Vern Mason of Sunnybrook Riding Stables, Yonge Street, Richmond Hill. Shown by the youngsters of the family in local events this horse gathered a lot of ribbons, including top placing in seven classes at Sutton and in four classes at Richmond Hill. This is the first year Likely Story has been shown. Champion Gorm/e y Hunter include apple butter making. taffy pulling. blacksmithing. Highland and Scottish dancing and 19th Century folk music.

The works of the artists Pay Your Happy Speculation Tax At Local Offices The provincial govern- ment has moved to reduce the inconvenience suffered by local buyers and sellers of property due to require: ments of the controversial new land speculation tax. The service will be avail- able also in all assessment offices in Ontario, Meen said. The system is sched- uled to be extended to all land registration offices in Ontario within two months. REQUIRED DOCUMENTS Minister of Revenue Arthur Meen announced last week that Newmarket and Brampton land registration offices will be included among 15 outside Metro where lien clearance per- sonnel and service will be provided. The new decen- tralized administrative pro- cedures will go into oper- ation September 16 for the convenience of lawyers, real- tors and related groups. “This decentralization will allow lien clearances re- quired under the Land Spec~ ulation Tax Act to be issued upon presentation of com- pleted application forms and the necessary supporting documents. In instances where time or circumstances don't permit the filing of completed documents, the lien clearance certificate will be issued upon receipt of an undertaking to file a com- pleted application within 60 days. However, this proced- ure won‘t apply to taxable sales by non-residents." said Meen. "In certain complex cases, it may still be necessary to refer applications for lien clearances to the ministry in Toronto. These applications may be forwarded directly to Toronto or through m-inis- try staff in the assessment or land registration offices. In these latter instances, where the information is complete and the disposition of the designated land is exempt or where tax has been paid or secured. a lien clearance certificate will be issued from Toronto and mailed back to the applicant with three working days after re- ceipt of the application," said the revenue minister, and craftsmen as well as antiques from near and far will be offered for sale throughout the day. Admis- sion to the grounds is $1.00 for adults. 25 cents for students, and no charge for children with parents. Park- ing is free. As an extra bonus, persons registering during the fall festival for King Campus continuing education classes this fall will have their fes- tival admission price re- funded.

Judging from the youth of both sexes that crowd the sides of highways seeking rides, freedom of movement is one of the “rights” that modern young people value most. It always has been, but never under circumstances so dangerous as the present. Of course. we can argue that the life for which these young people are preparing will be far more dangerous than that known by their parents. and ability to sur- vive in a world of rape. murder and violence will decide whether a female will survive at all. A total of 53 York Region secondary students left this week for Germany for a three-month stay. as part of an exchange program which will see German students come to Canada at the end of December and early January. While in Germany, the students will be bllleted In private homes in the prov- ince of Baden-Wuerttenberg in the southern part of .the country. Not more than two will attend the same school. Students On German Exchange Do Regular Work While Away The students, who are from grades 10 to 13, have entered into a contract with their principals to complete their regular school work while abroad, so they will be able to pick up where they left off on their re- turn. STOUFFVILLE PLANNERS Plans for the exchange, which have been underway for a year. were headed by Joe Turko and Dave Shop- iro. master teachers of mod- ems. and Siegfried Chowa- nietz, head of modern lan- guages at Stouffvllle Second- ary School. Members of a committee set up to handle it included Mrs. Jean Van Dalen of‘ King City Secondary and her husband. Tobias Van‘ Dalen of Dr, G. W. Wil- liams; and Mrs. Inge Bun- desmann of Markham Dis- trict High School. More than 100 students applied for the trip, and acceptance was made on the basis of their academic qualifications and the recom- mendations of the school. Those taking part wrote a profile of themselves. in~ eluding academic background and interests. EXCHANGE MATCHES These were sent to Ger- many, along with each student's most recent report card, and the students were matched with compatible German pupils, who were also taking part in the ex- change.

Such a committee would be the one to which labor and/or business repre- sentatives would turn if settlement wasn't possible by the date of contract termi- nation.

Born in Cambridge, Mass- achusetts, in 1923, John Spaulding came from a dis- tinguished New England family of publishers and ed- ucators. His grandfather. Frank E. Spaulding, was a textbook author and superin- tendent of schools in New- ton, Mass.. Minneapolis, and Cleveland. and later Profes- sor of Education at Yale. An uncle. Francis T. Spaulding, served as Dean of the Grad- uate School of Education at Harvard and later as New York State Commissioner of Education. His father, Wil- liam E. Spaulding, was Pres- ident and then Chairman of Houghton Mifflin Company until his retirement in 1966. In describing his view of the educational publisher's world, John Spaulding said, “The educational publisher’s world is an exciting mixture of the concrete and the in- tangible. the traditional and the innovative, the perman- ent and the passing. The value of his contribution to education turns on an abil- ity to perceive. assess, and accomodate change â€"â€"â€" and often to create it.” L. AYRES
