THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1934 Community Service Must Be Supreme There are two ways a! pleasing a newspaper audi- ence. The one is by studying ta give fia offense; the other is by striving ta give service ta a community whether it is popular or nat. We have always placed respect above papularity. which does flot mean that we do nat want f riends. There is nothing we want. nothing we neeti, more than the confidence o! this community. We feel we will menit it more by doing aur job ta the best of aur ability than by ging out o! aur way ta tickie someone's vanity. It is on cam- munity service rather than individual accommoda- tion that we lay claims ta support, and whatever aur record in this respect praLses or condemans, we have no alibi. Use High School Auditorium More For Community Purposes Since the $100O,000 addition was made ta Bowman- ville High Schaol in 1929 it has always been a bone o! contention that with sa much a! the people's money tied up in this grand edifice that the auditor- ium and gymnasium shauld be made available more for cammunity activities. Right from the start the Schaal Board drew Up a bard and fast agreement cavering the rentaI of sane that was second anly in completeness ta the Magna Charta. Getting into the Holy of Holies o! the Ancient Temple, or the Mint at Ottawa, ta be more modern, was a cinch as con- pared ta holding a comxnunity functian in the B.H.S. auditorium. Na wander some folks liken it ta the old fashioned parlar with the blinds drawn or the best bech'oom that was seldom used. We admire the Board for being cautiaus but it can be overdone, lilte f alse ecanomy. Bowmanville is handicapped for lack of an up-ta-date cammunity hall and we think with- out much trouble or expense the High Schaol audi- torium could serve this purpose at a nominal rentaI and a reasanable guarantee ta responsible individ- uals or arganizatians. This is nat the f irst time we have expressed these views, but seeing the following editorial brie! in the Simcoe Reformer bearing on the same subject was too great a temptation ta pass it by without com- ment. The Reformer says:- 'The new high school auditorium is proving a great boon ta community organizations for the purpose o! holding meetings, concerts, dances and the like. Thus in providing the new school accommodation, the Board a! Education bas also indirectly averted the need o! a new com- munity hall whicb would have required a consider- able sum of money ta build.' Printers Across Canada Up in Arms The decision o! the Federal Government ta print a large proportion o! the Dominion Vters' Lists at the King's Printer Department at Ottawa instead of sending the work out ta local printers in the constit- uencies is the cause of plenty of criticism in the printing fraternity. What abject the gavernment has in mind is difficult ta say, and if economy is in the backtground, the department will find that little will- be saved. In the !irst place a considerable invest- ment in machinery must be made before the King's Printer could undertake such a huge task, and apart from this side o! the question much higher wages will be paid in the Ottawa plant than is paid in small community plants. It is doubtful if the gavernient !olhows out this policY whether they will save any- thing. We are confident that the centralizatian o! %~the work is detrimental ta its correctness, and also ta the hundreds o! near id.Ie printers across Canada. The Returriing Officers and athers concerned are gaing ta, have a sweet time sending copy through ta Ottawa, having proofs sent back, then corrections sent back ta Ottawa again and f înally returned for final proof reading. We just wonder whether the electian will be next year or the year after. If it's next year the government will have ta think up a different plan with regard ta printing voters' lists. Putting Christmas Spirit in Business Christmas. 1934, is a reminder that the beyday o! the 'go-getter" is past, believes Vash Young, author o! **A Fortune ta Share" and the man who has sold more than a million dollars worth a! insurance ev- cr3' year during the depression. "The Christmas season," says Mr. Young in the December Rotarian Magazine, "finds business and professional men o! the warld f aced with g reat the &aMe effort, i know that it is rcaîîy more oesseai mnd ter more practical ta give than ta receie.The goe<1ver the maxn ta whom service is a way a! doing, r' stY~Oby beln« kin~d ta hiriself 'i the vay I have ]rte. n seeklng ta give bis brst ta his f ellows v~ ol&,witlout the tension that goes witlh goget- SM e do"ee Dot suffer fr0121elther the violent ups ~' 0' OWW tatgo wit1I go-getting.

And the practical side to it ail is that usually he finds that in returfi the world gives to him more than he ever expectet-in prosperity o! ahl kinds instead o! money prasperity only.' Here's Good News for Bowmanville The annauncement made last week by Deputy Min- ister of Public Welf are, M. A. Sorsoleil, of a possible program of $60,000 of public warks at the Ontario Training School here should prove profitable ta Bow- manville. The tawn as a whole is delighted ta see such a fine improvement in the unemploymient sit- uation, and ta see !ewer families requesting relief than a year aga. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has and wUll likely prove a very helpful factor in bettering the position of labor. Due ta the foresight o! Superin- tendent A. M. Hardy and his staff. Goodyear in Bawý;- manville created many new products during the de- pression, while regular and general lines slackened off. The result has been with the impravement o! business conditions throughout the country, the reg- ular lines are returning ta normal and the sales in the new proclucts are mountlng stead.ily. 0f course there can only be one resultant feature, and that 15 increased employment. So with the Goodyear likely ta take an more men in the near future and construction work at the Training School taking most of the other able bodied men in town, Bowmanviles unemployment problem would seem near a solution. Let us hope that this is but the beginning o! greater things. With the re- turn ta work of many men who have been workless for years business and professional men should take a new lease on life and a new enthusiasm should en- ter into the life o! the tawn. It's Your Golden Rule We heard a speaker over the radio announce that next Sunday would be observed as Golden Rule Sun- day-as if every Sunday and every day in the year should not be an occasion for observing and practis- ing the Golden Rule. Yau have seen hundreds o! references ta the Gol- den Rule. "The!" The very word seems ta imPlY that the Golden Rule is a thing, an abject like a stick or a stane, which exists in a certain location. imper- sonally, objectively. The Golden Rule! Its not The Golden Rule. it's Your Golden Rule. The Golden Rule daesn't exist until actual living peo- ple like you malte it exist. It isnt something Yeu can hear or read in paýsing and mutter about. "Yes, thats a good thing!" It isn't something you can preach or urge others ta follow. It applies ta one persan only. and that perion is yau. It's your Gol- den Rule: Your Golden Rule reads as follows: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you! Now you will readily admit that you believe in reciprocity and co-operation, fraternity and unseif- ishness, and that the worltt would be a great place if everyone practised "the" Golden Rule. But Your Golden Rule has nothing ta do with such phany phil- osophy. Your Golden Rule says: Yau do unta others as you would have others do unto you. It's a'golden" rule, yes: but more, it's a "'You Rule-it's Your Gol- den Rule ! And because the Golden Rule it naùody's unless lt's Yaurs, why nat Put the rule right now to this simple application: Do yau like ta be praiEed? Then praise others! Do you like ta receive gif ts? Then give them ta others! Do you appreciate consideration? Then consider others! Can yau use some help? Then help others! Just what would yau like ta get f rom ather Peo- ple? Then, give these very things (and you have them ta ather people right now! Its Yaur Golden Rule. It is flot just "a great idea" because every civilized nation on the face o! the globe interprets it as the highest expression o! mor- ality. It, in itself, is not a 'divine principle" but you can easily malte it divine. Malte it divine bY making it your awn. Regard it as persanal treasure, nat as unpleasant duty or impractical theory. Malte it your own! Its Your Golden Rule. Put Your Golden Rule ta work, regardless o! what the rest a! the world does with The Golden Rule. Yaur Golden Rule is a gol- den treasure whase entire value lies flot in your ap- praving contemplation but in your personal execu- tian. AiU the riches a! i! e, aIl the happiness a! heaven will be yaurrs if you will only use Your Golden Rule. Its Yaur. not The, Golden Rule! _ _ < Consistency Thou Art a Jewel A few weeks ago announcen'ent was made that in future ah Coning Event" notices in The States- man would be charged the same as other advertising, in distinction ta aur former policy of charging only where a charge was made. The result wau constern- ation among some people and societies who had en- The average business man feels badly if he lets a custamer have credit, and then when that customet' has cash to pay, he spends it elsewhere. Our busi- ness has nat been so much a matter o! credit. We have definitely given Zreely the only thlng we have to sell-advertising space-and a! ter giving it free we find that those wha have benefitted most, demand the most, are also strongest in their con- demnation a! aur new palicy. Consistency thau art a jewel ! But thank heaven there are stiil some gaod people wha can see twa sides ta every question. We suggest those wha are so prone to rip us up the back that they carefully consider what a newspaper does for its comn- munity week in and week out, year in and year out. and then decide, that if the newspaper charged for everything it did it would onhy then be in the class o! the merchant wha charges for the goods he bas ta selI. This new palicy does not affect in any way the re- porting or write-up a! meetings or entertainments a! ter they have taken place. That is news and is treated as such. But again we remind press secre- taries ta please get your copy in early and not wait till Wednesday marning ta send it in. Proper Audit of Municipal Books Among our suggestions made recently in revamp- ing the Ontario Municipal Act the appointment a! chartered accountants ta audit municipal books was recommended. Civic affaira have became big business and thus have outgrown the custom o! auditors being selected from retired preachers, ex-school teachers, or other honorable and respected retired gentry within the community. In this connection we notice a decision has been reached bY the Norfol1k County Council to have the County books audited by a char- tered accountant. This is in fia way a reflectian upon the treasurer but is in accordance with madern busi- ness methods. Funds appraximatiflg a million dollars are handlcd by the Caunty treasurer annually. No business concerfi with anything like such a turnover would think cf having its accounts audited by anY ather than a chartered accountant. Bowmanville adopted tItis class o! audit for ahl municipal ac- counits sanie years ago a! ter paying dearly for cheaP audits and defalcation by civic afficials. No elected representative would think o! suggesting a return ta the forme? system. In addition ta scrutinizing the accounts, a gocod chartered accountant can be o! great assistance as a financial adviser ta the treas- urer and the council. Mr. Hepburn and Real Public Opinion After the f irst Liberal party caucus, held last week. Premier Hepburn is said to have stated that there were no camplaints about beverage roomis and their aperation in Ontario, except from Toronto sources. May we offer Mr. Hepburn a bit of good-natured ad- vice. Like other premiers in the past. he probably has a secretary looking over the four Toronto papers and some ather important city dailies every day. and he prabably reads bis home paper !rom St. Thomas regularly. But if he wants ta know the state o! pub- lic opinion in Ontario, he had better send that sec- retary ta read over all the weekly papers. They are aIl received at the parliament buildings. When we were familiar with the Legislature, they were ta be f ound in a roomn on the east side o! the library, and no doubt 'hey are still ta be seen in the same place. Few o! the weekly parers have any pronounced Pal- itical bias any more, but many o! thema are not a! raid ta spealt out andL they can be taken as interpreting YOUR WORLD Article No. 10 "Our educatioflal systemi is al wrong" - Sa said a f rlend of mine to, me as we sat at the luncheon table. Anid he went on ta say that littie is being done nowadays in the schoals of our country to malte town and country life attractive to youth, and that. much is being done ta in- duce young people to go in for high- er educatian, meaning education at a universitY. despite the fact that our universities are turning out, in the aggregate, thousaflds o! young men and women, wth degrees, whom industry and professional oc- cupations cannot absorb. These young people f eel that they have been cheated. They declare that they were encouraged ta attend the university-that the inducement was agreeable emploixneflt and a good salary. This same view was expressed by another man, only the day before. H-e was criticiziflg university exten- sion work-the sending out of pro- fessors and others into the country ta address gatherings of farmers and1 tawn folk. He contended that these lectures have the cf feet of making those who hear them discontentetl with their lot and kind of labour. JC K Now, speaking for myseif, I arn flot very much in accord with the views of either of these men. I be- lieve in a university educatian and in university extension lectures. But I ar nfot in accord wth the view that the possession of a university degree should malte a man or womafl dissatisfied with town or farm life. One should not attend a unlversity in order ta get a particular kind of Job, but for cultural gains-for the enrîchment of one's mind and life. It is true-and proper-that there are some klnds of occupations whlch make a university degree necessary. But why should not a blacksmith have a universlty degree?. or a f ar- mer? or a store keeper? or an un- dertaker? In Great Britain, until recent years. men went ta, the unlversity- Oxford or Cambridge for choice-ta get a kind of education and exper- ience which would malte ail life a!- terwards richer for them. Then men begain goirmg to universities as an aid ta getting choice white-coltar Jobs. Then universities began ta multiply and ta Provide courses which prepared men for definite oc- cupations. This may be ail right. 1 shahl not argue otherwise. Yet I 1 do say that any man who can af - fard ta go ta a University and who is that way inclined is goirmg ta do a good thing for himself by attending a univrsity-this if on graduation he has willingness to do the kind of work which he wants Most ta do, or which the world wants done. wlth- out much reference to, his scholastic equiprnent. It is when a University educatian adds ta a man's discon- Continued an page 11) local sentiment fairly accurately. If Mr. Hepburn had been keeping in touch with the weeltly news- papers since the beer parlors opened, he would neyer have made such a statement as that credited ta hlm about t.he rural districts being satisfied with the working o! his new liquar administration.-Fergiis News-Record. à Editorial Notes Society has long exercised the privilege of question- ing the right of an institution ta exist, if it does not f111 a real human need. That concept, whlch is sum- med up in the word service, is the hallmark of the new age.-Frank G. Lankard. R.ecent sad events have drawn attention once more ta the seriQus consequences of gossip. But even be- fore that. the Walkerton Herald-Times had an article about gossips and fault-finders, which ended with this outspoken description: "He hates himself, is a menace ta the tawn's prosperity, a foe to God and no good ta the devil. These persons seem ta be a necessary evil in every town, but they ought ta be run out." If universities are ta retain the confidence of the people, they must stand four-square on the funds- mental principles of constitutianal democracy and the social arder which they imply. Within their frame-wark and through their universal application, we can move forward to a more competent and equi- table ardering af aur econamic 11f e and a progressive and enlightened liberalism in aur political argan- ization.-Robert G. Sproul, president o! University a! California. The thicltheadedness of war, the waste of it. the payment for it in values that are forever sacrificed- the blood af boys, the talents of Young men. the head of the table made empty in Young households, the ache of incurable loneliness in the hearts of mathers and fathers-5 n the end these manif est overcharges for an inte'rnational process, which neyer yet settled any dispute, must move men ta end it. In the mean- time it is my judgment that a league a! nations and an international court will help them perceive the possibilities o! better methods.-Dr. Allen D. Abert. past president o! Rotary International. Some people severely condcmn the idea of refusing the municipal vote ta the man who has flot paid his taxes, says the Parcupine Ativance. But after ail is it fair that the man who is not helping ta pay the piper sho'ild be in the position of calling the tune. The man wlio has a vate has some influence on the policy of the town. Thus he is in the position o! directing lxow the money of the taxpayer shahl be spent. For instance. there may be a praposal for same particular expenditure, with two opposing views on the matter. Indirectly, the man who votes but does not pay taxes is in this position:-if he votes in favaur of the expend. 'ture he is telling the tax- payer haw ta spend his maney. If he votes against the expenditure. he is practically refusing ta allow the taxpayer to spend his own maney. It cert.ainly is hard luck when a man is unable ta pay his taxes. but it is equaily hard luck when men who do not pay taxes control the taxes that are paid.
