Local Government The Training Ground For Democracy In 1945 Year Book of the Citi- zens' Research Institute of Can- ada, by Horace L. Brittain, there is the following information: There are about 3,900 incorpor- ated local municipalities in Can-, ada. Although the too long de- layed movement for reducing the number of local school authorities has had important results during the last few years, probably 18,- 000 or 20,000 local school authori- ties, mostly elected, -still remain. Possibly from 60,000 ta 75,000 men and women serve on these local bodies. Municipal and other local bodies are engaged in providing water, light, police protection, f ire protection, streets, sidewalks, schools, health nurses, welfare services, etc., ta the families and individuals dwelling in their vani- ous local communities These ser- vices touch directly the lives of more than 11,000,000 people, in ways which they can see and feel. Possibly over 4,000,000 people can participate in the selection of these bodies which produce for them services which they,'need and want. Possibly 1,500,000 vot- ers do actually use their local franchise. The processes of local gavern- ment go on unden the direct ob- servation of all citizens. They know, or may know, their nepre- sentatives in local govennment. Directly or indirectly they xmay determine 1 o c a 1 public issues. What the average persan knows at finst hand of govennment hie or she leanns of necessity at the local level . His or lier ability ta judge men and measures and the ef- ficiency of administration in pro- vincial and fedenal government must rest on his or her expenience in and knawledge of local gav- ernments, as in this field alone has hie or she any opportunity ta acquire finst hand expenience. In the provincial and federal fields- unless he or she is directly con- cenned-first hand expenience is apt ta be veny sketchy. Just as local institutions are the labonatony for adult citizenship, they may provide the concrete )asis of instruction in citizenship in the schools. Children can be informed about policemen, fîre- men, teachens, health nurses, street cleaners, scavengers, park workers, wonkens on streets and sidewalks, construction of sewers and sewage dispasal plants, water wonks, etc. What better matenial for early training in citizenshîp? Recently the tendency ta cen- tralization emphasized by the wan, has obscured the 'importance of vigaraus local institutions. These should be fostened, flot suppress- ed or even negimented unless seri- ously at fault. They should, haw- even, be able ta get the best ex- pert advice fnom provincial de- Pantments of municipal affairs. ignorance is the cause of most weaknesses in local government. Municipal gavennment is, more- aver, not the only level of gov- ernment which suffens fnom ig- norance. As a matten of fact, aside from the war activities, the record shows that the efficiency of municipalities as a Nïhale has not been infenior ta that of senior gavennments. A stneam cannot nise highen than its source. Hence regîmentation of one level of gov- enniment by anothen can nat sup- ply lasting efficiency. Only the raising of the genenal level of citizenship can bring that about and for this local government is best equipped as a laboratony for citizenship. True happiness is ta no spot confined. If you preserve a firn and con- stant mmnd, 'Tis hene, 'tis everywhene. -John H. Wayne. Let your light s0 shine before men, that they may see your gaod works, and glarif y youn Fathen which is in heaven.- Matthew 5:16. 1 IIOUSING INFORMATION Question: When my son went overseas three and a half years ago 1 rented his rooms, a bedroom, sitting room and closed in ver- andah, now he is coming home and I will need the roums. Can 1 force these tenants ta leave as sooný as he arrives? Answer: No - as the tenants are occupying what is known as "shared accommodation" in your home you may give themn six months' notice to vacate. Such notice must not terminate be- tween Sept. 30 and April 30 of any year. Under the circumstances perhaps you could arrange with your tenants ta give up partçof the space or ta seek ather quarters, but under the Board order they are entitled ta their six manths' notice. FARM CASH INCOME SHOWS DOWNTURN Reduced marketings of wheat and hags, anly partly offset by more sales of cattie, calves and oats in the first haîf of 1945, brought a downturn in farm cash incarne for the first tlme since be- fore the war. Most of the $63 millions decline from the 1944 peak of $765 millions took place in the Prairie Provinces. Minor increases were noted in Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Quebec and B.C., and Ontario farm incarne rase from $179 mil- lions ta $202 millions, due chiefly ta increased cattle and field crop marketings, plus increased in- carne from dairy products. Total decrease in the Prairie Provinces was 20 per cent, with Saskatche- wan reparting a drap of 24 per cent. (Nat included in cash farm incarne are payments un d er Wheat Acreage Reduction Act, Prairie Farm Incarne Act and Prairie Farm Assistance Act; other equalizatian payments and price subsidies are included.).
