THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14. 1935 Giving Credit to Whom Credit Is Due Perhaps no public servant in the town of Bow. manviile has received more unwvarranted adverse cr11. icism un recent years that Manager George E. ChaSE 0f the Public Utiliis Commission. Those who havE been privileged te serve as Commissioners on that body have ail realîzed the abiiity of Mr. Chase and have endeavoured to give to the public an idea of what his carefui management has meant te the sy- stem and the town. The faîth of these individuais as received support in the recent election of Mr. Chase to the Executive of the Association of Municipal Electrical Utilities, and aiso his apointment as Chair- man of the Rates Committee 0f that organization. perhaps the most important appointiment in the gift of the organization. Among men who are qualified te know electrical systems. and the men who control them Mr. Chase is regarded as an outstanding executive. It s in- teresting to note that his election as chairman 0f the Rates Committee was won over another estimable gentleman, under whomi Mr. Chase worked for some years. These recognitions of the menit 0f the manager ai the local hydro system should set any doubt in the public mind as ta his abiiity to manage efficiently the local utiities system. The fart that municipal systems in many towns and cities in the Eastern Ontario section have registered loses during the past few years. while Bo%;manv-ille has made profits is but anether tribute te his ability. The year 1934 wiil likely show another profit for the local system At the close et the year, after meeting ail charges, and atter paying off the iongest outstanding deben- ture on the system, a handy surplus was lef t. It is confiidently expected that the 13th Power Bill will bring a further credit to the town next month, and that a most successful year in 1934 will be the resuit Now that Mr. Chase's abiiity and efficiency has been recognized, citizens might in fairness ta hum. at least give him credit for the business-iike manner in which he has conducted the Utilities affairs, se 'E id )f Is A Catechjsm on Canadian Statua Among the numerous periodicals. free publicity sheets, and other propaganda materiai, most of which finds its way ta the waste paper basket, we came arross this week a little bookiet entitled "A Catech- ismn on Canadian Status" compiled by the Native Sons of Canada. This organization is in many ways a useful one, particularly if t ran incuicate a spirit of loyalty in the cosmapolitan population cf Canada. Its catechism however is a little misleading and mighty discomforting ta those whe are proud te bold on ta the ties of the Emp;r,un which Canada Is and should be proud of her association in the Brit- ish Commonwealth 0f Nations. The Native Sons 0f Canada do net attempt te invoive the King in a dispute, but they do violate the accepted principles 0f aur relatianships with Great Britain and other parts of the Empire. This ilz the organization which is se distinctly dissatisfied with the Union Jack that it wants a distinctive Canadian Flag, which is airight as far as it gees, but sureiy the organization can fînd something far more im- portant ta wage war about. in times of unemployment and need. Then ts catechism makes some amazing state- ments. For instance, Canada us an independent state and not part of the British Empire. There is nc such body poitir as the British Commonwealth 0f Nat- ions that Canada's three sources 0f war are ts mem- bership in the League of Nations, its former polit- iraI cennection %vith the United Kingdom, and the Canadian Imperiaiists. Furthermore this booklet states that Canada is flot under any debt et gratitude ta the United Kîngdom, that the King is King of Canada, that Canadas only relationship with the United Kingdom is that of a personai union. These things may be the ideas and the alms of the Native Sons of Canada, but they rertainly are net the opinions ef the majority of Canadians. Most Can- adians are proeîd 0f their British connertion. They are happy to be asseciated with the Commonwealth et Nations. for they sec in this mutual commonwealth the strength this is in union. Canadas part in the League et Nations mnay embroil 1er in some diploma- tir discussions that are uti;leasart but surely the cause 0f worîd peace is woîrth that. The Native Sons 0f Canadas primary aîm, as we .ee it. s te keelg Canada out of %vars. A most praiseworthy aim, but on the etheîr hand. the extireme type of seifish nationalism that it supports is a method of bringing about wars. Co-eperation between nations is a bigger assurance of peace than any type 0f nation- alism. As a matter of fart it mgît be said. that the Brtish Commonwealth 0f Nations, whicha the arder seems te oppose, is by its very system of ca- aperation of great asset ta the cause et peace. War- like nations see in the rembined strength 0f the component parts of the British Empire, an insur- mounitable barruer again.st wars of aggression and aggrandusement. Hobbies That Have Grown Up Hobbies are otten an excellent way ef helping child- ren te find their vocations. Ray Giles cites a number of examples iii the curîrent Rtarian Magazine. The latie Cyrus Curtis, founder ef the Curtis Publishing Cempiany, as a . maîl boy published an amateur eews- paper. Heien.Ho kinson, famous magazine cartoon- ist, as a rhild lov>ed nothing bettei than te carica- ture her teacher and füllow students. A lîttie bey named Boucher was a tîreless constructer et smali beats-today the Boucher Manufacturîng Company is the largest concern making miniature boats and parts. Some grown-ups have turned hobbies into profit- able businesses. The kiddie-kar was devised by Clar- ence W. White un a whittler*s idle hours. A fisher- mian lnvented a new kînd of bait ta attract more f ish -and the AI Foss Park Rind Minnow, nationaliy knawn, was the resuit. A bond man named Dodsor built bird-hauses far fun-todaY, Dodson bird-houses are gold far and near. "Hobbies", says Mr. Giles, "make us interest.ing te ather people and lnterested in life." He offers this prayer for parents: "And give to my sons and daug ters the hobbies which enlist their keenest intere %vhich arouse their greatest enthusiasms. which ma themi painstaking and persistent, and in which th can lose themiselves completeiy. Amen." How Liquor Hits Your Auto Budget When statistics begin to be more than just figui on a piece of paper. when they begin to dig intot average persons pocketbook. then is he iikely to ta more than casual notice. It has been pretty definitely determined that aut mobile accidents and fatalities due to drunken dri ing have increased in Ontario since the beverai rooms were opened last summer and in the Uniti States since repeal of prohibition. Startling da pertaining to this increase duly irnpress the reade but he prefers to feel that he is immune. It requin such news as was reported the other day, that bi cause of the increase in drunken driving accident automobile insurance rates are almost sure to ir crease. to convince him of his own interest in th matter. Neariy every.automobile owyiner is intereste in some way in insurance rates. If lie doesn't carr insurance himself, he's interested in whether or nc the fellow who runs into him does. If rates are higt more drivers wiil neglect insurance where they car Automobile insurance rates shouid be, if they ar not already, a consideration in making out mos f amily budgets. And if drunken drivîng is to con tinue boosting insurance rates, the maker of th family budget might do well to take an interest i the limination of the drunken driver, which after al means the elimnination of liquor. One way to help eliminate the drunken driver far as this district is concerned is to close the bev. eragýe rooms at Newcastle by the electors of that vil- lage marking an X beiow the NO on their ballot nexi Thursday. Your Duty la to HeIp Talent uThis wvoild is run by pushers. blusterers. laud moths. A lttie aggressivene.ss goes a long way:a lot of aggressiveness generaily win.s full control. Amidst the millions of directors, executives. mana- gers and "experts.' amidst the bilions of ordinar' hou polioi who have nothing about them that might dlaim distinction, we may if we are lucky and acute, discover a handful of men-men with talent. A piti- iessly smail band, so small, it could neyer even be called a "small minoritY.' Men of talent! Neyer are they pushers. Neveî are they shouters! They are simpiy the few who can do things extraordinarily weil. They are the geniuses of which we read, but who. because smalliun number. we are inclined ta believe have na existence in reai life. Actuaiiy theirs is the oniy existence, the brUI- iant, iivid, eternal promise that things can be done perfectly! Your duty s to help talent. Help talent f irst by finding it, then fostering- and encouraging it. Tal- ent is timid, bashful back,.ard-you are bold, rugged, practicai. Give talent some of your own strength- heip talent. Samuel Johnson once said: 'Mere unassisted menit advances siowly. if-what is not very common -ut advances at aIl!" Without material assistance-without you-talent wili probably lîve hidden and due unused but with your help the world may grow great overnight, by the hands of talent! You're sefish-and you should be. Do the things that make yourself stronger and greater. Help your family-that's right. that's naturai. Help your friends, for if friendship isn't heip, what is it? Play politics and heip somebody you have ne partirular liking for knowing that this help wiiI be traded bark te you later. These are things we aIl do -in ardinary if e, ordinary actions 0f ordinary people. But the best thing yau can be next to beîng a gen- ius yourself, is te heip the genius find a stage, a means 0f expression, a chance to wark his miracles where they are most needed. Help talent. Our whale material world is nothing but the sum aof the fruits of talent. Our greatest inventions, aur richest pro- gress s owed directly ta men of talent and to the men who help this talent.1 You are as great as the greatness you sponsor. Heip talent. It is rare but that doesn't mean it isn't around you. Some mid sensitive persan you have always taken for granted may be the one who poss- esses it. Some raw amateur now making ridiculaus mistakes may be tomorrow's master. Some "sap," some '*yokel" may be a golden depository of genius. Help hum Heip talent! Observations and Opinions We are fared with a dieînma: either the group ta whirh we belong does something worthwhile or it does net. If it dees net, we had better leave it, as an itile assembly of men or women is worse than use- less. If ît dees, we owe it a debt, and that debt we can pay off, in the most economicai way, by making ourselves valuable ta the community.-Abbe Ernest Dimnet. In stressing the importance of people being on hand premptly for meetings, the Brampton Cotiser- vator sayG: By the enforcement of the practice ai punctuality and pramptness much tirne would be saved and considerabie irritation preventeci. What us more annoying than to make a special eff ort ta be an hand for the commencement of a meeting, anlY te find that the hour named meant thirty or farty- five minutes later?' Principal Dippeil un tak.ing over the Presidency of the Canadian Club announced the banquets wauid start on time - and they have - and the mnembers now get there on time. The Country more interested in Reform than in uts effert on Parties,' is the heading 0f a very timeiy and sensible edtorial in the Orillia Packet-Times It s a pity that at the Present time Politicai persan- alîties ceuid net be elimînated from the picture 0f aur national lite, and the members of the House of Corm- mens vicw each other, net as two or three beligerent bodies, ready te denounce and condemn any poliiy of referm or re-canstruction that is advanced by the ether. If Bennett, King and Woodswarth cauid be fargetten; if Conservative, Liberal and C. C. F. couid be blotted f romn view, and the H.ause of Commons act as though they were reaiiy deslrlng ta advance the interests 0f the country rather than that af the par- ty they represent, what good mlght resuit. As the Packet-Times say6.' 'What tho publie is concerned about is flot the Party game, but the rernavai of abuses in the financlal systeni. And there wlll be pretty general agreement that there shauld flrst be an effort at refarni, rather than that the country shouid enter upon revaîutlanary experinients."
