David trol iast week announced, that a schedule of relieý allowances, to be observe<i in ail "municipalities, w a comning shortly. One of the fac- tors that has brc(ight about a decided menrease in radicalism in the past few years bas been the in- equality of the sybtem uncler which relief has beer distributed. The excuse has been madc that in dif- ferent municipalities the cost of living differs, but as far as food is concerned the difl'erences are so amall as to warrant no consideration. If the Pro- vince of Ontario is to represent the people 0f the province then ail must be treated alike. There is nc reason in the world why Bow-manville sbould provide a higher allowance than any other municipaity in the district, neither is there any reason why it should be lower. The unemployed in rural Inunicîpalities have a right to the same treatment as the unemploy- ed in Oshawa, Bowmanville or Toronto. Those who have macle a study of this situation will agree that unless we want to bring along a genera- tion of undernourished and underprivilegeci children, we have got to provide the unemployed and theiz families with a reasonable living allowance. It is to be hoped that the reforms now before parliament will eventually elminate unemployment, but unt£ such evils are eliminated the country must treal ecually these unfortunate people. Little children, accorded only the barest necessi- ties of Hife, and often flot enough of these, cannot grow into strong. bealthy and intelligent aduits. 'Undernourishment encourages consumption, disease and 10w mentality. The municipality that thinks il is saving by hall starving the unemployed, will pay that much extra in doctors' buils for sickness, for in- mates in provincial sanitoriums and mental institu- tions, and probably encourage, too, crime and law- lessness that so often goes hand in hand with pov- erty. The move of the Minister of Public Welf are should be carried through to a conclusion. Mr. Cro1 bas adopted the right idea, and malcontentmnunici- palities should be forced to carry his plans out ir every detail. Toronto Acts Like a Spoiled Child The Board o! Cont-rol o!

This is an abuse t-bat- neetis recti!ying.1 Save Morale and You Save Ail A popular slogan of paint manufacturers is "Save surface, save ail." It neatly expresses the f act that if the wood or metali s protected from wind and weather, decay will not start. Precisely the same principfle applies to huinan personalities in general, but witb especial force to youth. Youth always is a period of adjustment. Even the aduit of today who matured in periods o! "normalcy," s0 called, bad his troubles. But the young man and woman who bave "gone into the world' In the past live years have f aced a staggering array of problemns. A society that once was solicitious for their education and spent money f reely on it, now ignores thein. They are ready to work, but there are no jobs. Instead, they see well-trained aduits jostled out of their places, often thrown on public rel.ef. by econ- omic forces apparentiy as uncontrolIcd as an un- anchored gun on the deck o! a ro' ling ship. Add to al of this the questioning natural to a maturlng mi, and no one should wonder that an undercurrent of discouragement andi frustrated amn- bition ecdiles in the minds of imany young people throughout the world as 1935 opens. lUndenlably, in this condition lies a social danger. Youth, dsheartened today, may tornorrow react sharply against the established order.

I e %ambi-an ebuâmn Real Need of Church Is Leaderali There is plenty of plain truth in the article lished below from the pen of Bride Broder cf Mail and Empire, who writes lier mmid on the1 she believes the church should f iii in the lfe oc country.

If a man making $40 every week found oniy $: in bis pay envelope with a notice explaining that had been beld out for taxes, he would not be longj demanding through bis public officiais, an explar ation of where the rnoney went, and why, and, adc the Indianapolis News, the people would soon ha% better and much more economical government. Th comment is timely and revealing. Communities, like persons, differ. Some are large some are smaUl, some are progressive and some dor mant. Much can be clone to improve the commur. ity life. if there is vision ofl the opportunities fo raising the standards, if there is capable leadershli andi an effective agency through which to function Patience wiil be needed, rigbt methods are necessars and a good deal of team work. We agree with the Winnipeg Free Press when it says: The spoils system, which is resorted to for the benefit of party workers, is likely to be injurious politically to the party practislng it. There was no time when it was more iikely to damage a party than tbe present. But apart from political consideration, the Liberal party, andi aIl parties, should be above thE practice, on grounds botb o! ordinary decency and of efficient public administration. Only weak and sordidi arguments can be used in its defence. When the Hon. Vincent Massey entered the billowy sea of party poiitics a number of years ago as an advocate of Libcralism, he exemplified dignity and tolerance with a keen understanding o! public affairs wbich has marked hlm as an outstanding statesman of this generation. It s to be hoped and expected that his cousin, Denton Massey, wbo bas been ap- pointed campaign director for the Conservative party in Ontario in the coming general election, will con- tribute in like measure in raising the standards of party politics. Wonder Just what West Durham couid demanci o! it-s federal member la the way of a slice of that tre- mendous public work's programn? Nearly al the barbors along tbe Lake Ontario shore got something except Bowmanvlhie. Now wouId be a good time to put that bridge across the piers at Port Darlington as a public works enterprise. Others suggest that as Bowmanville is the only urban municipality In this riding witbout an armouries that such a building be erected in the centre of the town at the Rotary Park which could be used for communlty as well as milii- tary purposes. dOwnto lw lvelsof edeaourjetHEAD OFFICE - - MONTR BAL me say t-bat-t-rne is given US t-o re-j MODERN, EFFICIENT BANKING SERVICE...tise Outcoe of pair our mnistaktes and t-o correct- ur 117 Years'Successfu Operacian ways.
