ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION Authorized as Second Class Mail by the Post Office Department, Ottawa Whose Responsibility-? We were unable to attend the last meeting of the Board of Trade, but we understand from the secretary that the gathering sent a request our way to aim our editorial guns in the general directon of the merchants of Oliver Street. The subject, presumably, was to be the fact that these merchants don’t expend enough effort in cleaning up the front of their Places of business. = We hope the board won’t be too disappointed if we fail to concur with their considered opinion. Frankly we think the merchants, as a whole. do a fairly good job of keeping their sidewalks clean in competition with the dust blowing down the main street. Possibly though Commissioner Gardner, the sponsor of the motion, looks for a little more in the way of effort. Perhaps we should be out sweeping the street as well in the morning, and chasing down all the scraps of paper that litter the pavement. To our mind this is a new conception of responsibility. Mr. Gardner quotes a Fraser Valley resident as saying our town is dirty. Comparing it with the neat valley communities, it certainly is, but the merchants of say Chilliwack don’t expend any more effort along the sidewalks than their counterparts here. The difference is that in that centre the streets are kept clear of litter by municipal crews. We doubt very much that the streets of Chilliwack would look any better than Williams Lake if the town was located in a clay belt like ours, with two paved streets and the rest without any dust-laying agent on them - and little gravel. Under the circumstances we think that any campaign to result in a cleaner town should start in the village commission board room, .... And A Challenge Focus of attention this week is on eighteen young people of town and distict who have finished their formal high school education and are looking ahead to taking their place in the adult world. Some of them, of course, will continue their studies to equip themselves for their chosen profession, but it will be in a different plane of education. Where the main emphasis has in the past been on the guidance they could expect from the educational system, now the onus will be in- creasingly on the individual to choose his or her own path of learning and profit by instruction. | - Whether they are continuing their education or stepping right out to earn their living with the training they have, to these young people the future continues to show a bright re- flection in opportunity. It stil} presents a challenge as well. The future holds out materiaPand altruistic rewards only to those who have the will and the energy earn them. Our best wishes to the graduates of - We hope they earn their measure of those rewards. Watch the Darting Feet It isn’t uncommon to pick up a newspaper and read a report of some child's life being snuffed out as the youngster darted in front of a moving vehicle. We will read more of these Teports now that school is out, because hard statistics show that three times as many young children are killed or injured by automobiles during spring and summer months than during the other half of the year. Such sudden tragedy tugs at our heartstrings. No more gay enjoyment of living for the small victim - a future destroy- ed in a moment’s carelessness. We sympathize with the parents in their tragic loss and in many cases with the driver of the vehicle involved, who often never had the chance to stop. He has to live with the thought that in a measure he was respon- sible for the child’s death. Most of us drive an automobile or truck. Let’s remember that there are more darting feet on the highways and streets at this time of year and exercise as much caution as possible when we’re behind the wheel. ooo Ss We are all too timid, too chickenhearted, to say what we mean in politics these days.—W. E. Rowe, Conservative MP. Last year some 18 million boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 17 were NOT picked up by the police for any crime whatsoever.—New York Times. We are deluding ourselves if we 4ssume everyone can assimilate knowledge equally. I would like to knock out Joe Louis, but I can’t.—Dr. Etienne Gilson.
