Bowmanville, Ontario GEO. W. IAMES, Enrrom WORLD'S GREATEST EXHIBITION Toronto, the "old home town" to more than a million people, noted as a city of schools and churches, the Provincial Cap- ital, a seat of learning, business and fin- ancial centre of Canada, once more will have the eyes of the globe focused upon it when, for yet another year, the Prince 's and Dufferin Gates of the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition swing open to well over two million visitors on August 24th. As every Canadian school child knows, this is the world's largest annual exhibition. Torontonians are proud of their "fair" and visitors will see this pride reflected in the effort devoted to arranging the decora- tions and preparing the exhîbits. Visîtors corne from ail the Canadian Provinces and from each of the forty- eight states of The Union. During this time of the "Ex," local residents feel al- most as though they are in the minority. "Foreign" licence plates are to be seen everywhere. This is not that "once in a lifetime" visit but for a majority, it is a yearly pilgrimage. There is much to be seen and so little time in which to see it. Business from ail over the free world exhibits its wares. In the attractive Automnotive Building, the modern American models share the spot- light with those produced in Europe. Allied lines such as engines and parts are on exhibition. Stepping across the broad avenue which leads into the grounds from the Prince's Gates, you arrive at the Elec- trical Building where ail the latest elec- trical devices are on exhibit. Industrial pieces are on display in another part of this building. Depending upon your in- clinations, littie or much time may be spent in both these buildings. Also locat- ed on this three hundred and fifty acre grounds are the Pure Food Building, the Hlorse Palace, the Cattle, Sheep and Swine Building, the Manufacturers Building, the Horticultural Building, and the Ontario Government Building. Then there are the Midway, the Grandstand spectacles, the Band Sheil, and water sports of divers natures. Ahl told, there is something to interest each znember of the family. TO ISSUE SIXTH SERIES 0F CANADA SAVINGS BONDS The Sixth Series of Canada Savings Bonds will go on sale October 15th. It will be dated November lst, 1951, and will mature 10 years and 9 months from date of issue. It will be sold at a price of 100% Up to November l5th, 1951. It will carry 10 interest coupons of 3½h%. The first coupon wiil be payable August 1, 1953, covering a period of one year and nine months (an effective yield of 2%7 per year during this period). The remaining 9 coupons are payable on Aug- ust îst each year thereafter. This will give an average interest rate over the life of the bond of approximately 3.21%7cper year. Previous issues of Canada Savings Bonds matured in 10 years and paid a straight 23/% per year. If the new bond is cashed before the first coupon becomes due (August 1, 1953) interest will be paid at the rate of 2%,,,per year calculated to the last full month. After August 1, 1953, interest will be paid aI the coupon rate of 31/% per year for each full month which has elapsed since that date. The limit for holdings in any one name has been raised to $5,000. Previous limits for individual holdings were $2,000 in Series One and $1.000 in subsequent issues. The Sixth Series will retain other familiar features of Canada Savings Bonds including redemption at full face value plus interest at any time at any bank in Canada. They will not be transferable or assignable and may be purchased only by residents of Canada. In announcing this new series the Minister of Finance is quoted as saying that the new features, coupled with those which h1aertrprovedpoplar in past issuesQ OBSERVATIONS AND OPINION S A company can run without profit about as long as a human can live without food and a motor car run without fuel. The sorrow of knowing that there is evil in the best is far ouI balanced by the joy of discoverey that there is good in the worst. In competition with others, always give them credit for being a littie smarter than you are. Then work like the deuce to prove that they aren't. Keep on plugging, and the chances are that you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. Who ever heard of anyone stumbling on anything sitting down! Up St. Marys way they do things in a big way. For instance, the Lions Club of that progressive town have already donated $5,000 of a $10,000 pledge toward the new Arena. A lot of free labor bas also been the means of holding down the cost of this community project. National unity is still a favorite topie of conversation. but little has been ac- complished. It is hoped when television gets set up in Canada that the CBC will use il as a medium to bring the people to a better understanding by means of genuine Canadian programs so that citi- zens may see and hear right in their own homes how their feilow Canadians in other provinces live. With the high price of beef in Canada we are told horse meat is being slaughter- ed and titivated into tempting roasts and steaks which is said to have a delicious and distinctive flavor. Down under in Australia they, too, are tinkering with substitutes for beef, but they are "garn- ishing braised kangaroo steaks with herbs, claret and mushrooms," ac.cording to a government release. Maybe that accounts for Britishers migrating bo Australia in preference to Canada. If ever the milk producers supplying the lacteal fluid to Toronto needed an honest-to-goodness public relations de- partment to supply the consuming public with the producers' side of the story in the present "milk muddle" it is right now. The twaddle that some ward politicians, with vapourous pleadings, are serving up with crocodile tears to their taxpayers reminds one that the annual civic elections are just around the corner. The Federal Department of Labor is doing everybhing it can to encourage the establishment of labor-management pro- duction committees in key industries. De- partmental studies indicabe that wherever commibtees of this type have operated, they have increased production and effic- iency, as well as improving plant relation- ships bebween labor and management. Ultimately, the departmenb hopes that the idea will be picked up everywhere in Canada, in industries of ail kinds. But for the moment, Labor Minister Gregg is cam- paigning to get them set up in industries related to the nation's defence program. Do you remember as kids, each spring, how 'we wbuld gather up ail the scraps of iron, steel, bones and botbles in the com- munity and seli bo the "rag man" in ex- change for a jacknife, pencil box, an enamel or tin cup? Such was the thought that came to our mind as we read this item this week: "Don't look now, but iron and steel scrap is rapidly becoming almost as precious a commodity as it was during the wartime peak. Steel companies like 10 keep at least 60 days' supply on hand. But in recent months, they've been eating into their reserve stocks. The situation is world-wide. If the Canadian picture doesn't brighten soon, and if the existing demand continues, those wartime scrap metal drives may be reinstated. Ottawa is worried." ______ Now they're taiking sense - horse sesewecIl it1i the- ountr i-Th WASTING VALUABLE TIME How much lime do you waste in use- less arguing? If you are like the generai, run of folks, you waste a lot of il. Nine imes out of ten it daesn't pay ta argue. You can't change the other feiiow's point of view and il is quite S7.- tain he xvon't change yaurs. Also, he doesn't pay much attentictw. ta what you are saying. Whiie ya u are talking away, he's simply figuring out what he's gain g ta say la you when you slow up for a breathing speli. And, arguing sometimes causes foui- ish quarrels. Then, boa, there are some feiiows wbo argue for the sake of arguing. It daesn't matter xvhich side they take, just sa lhey have an opportunity of taking someone ta task. Wlien N'ou are inclined la argue, pause for a moment and see if il is going ta do you any good. Don't wasle your time for you may need it. G3eheveNse-Mr A DISTINCTIVE CANADIAN TRIBUTE A story from London, England, recent- ly pointedup what we consider is a.great lack in our national life. The story listed the many Britons in many fields of en- deavor honored in the King's birthday list. A great newspaperman was knighted, a philosopher entered the Order of Merit, a famed and beautiful ballerina was made Commander of the Order of the British Empire, a blind scholar was made a Baron, and so on. In each case, outstanding contribution to the lIfe of the nation or mankind gen- erally was being honored. We, as a nation, as a people, have no way af honoring outstanding effort within aur country or without by aur citizens or aur friends. Apart from several Army medals, more for long service than any- lhing else, we have not one distinctive Canadian order, decoration or award. True, we honored Eisenhower by namîng a mountain f or him. But we have only s0 many mountains. We neyer, for in- stance, have honored Mr. Churchill, bhough na man is more entitled ta aur esteem and tribute. Once upon a lime, British tities couid honor worthy Canadians, but the late Mr. King ended that. Our gallantry decora- lions stili are British, awarded in the name of the King. We see no reason for deny- ing Canadians such honor, but if tilles are la be ruled out of the life of Canadians, then there should be a substitute avail- able. If we want bo be stnîctly Canadian, then let us have aur awn ways and sym- bols oI honoring those who make out- standing contributions ta the welfare aI man. iHere we are, continually telling aur- selves we are a great nation, (and we are), but we haven't even a Ilag of our own, and not an honor la bestow. There are many great men and women in Canada, persans la whom the country and the people owe a great debt. They are flot looking la be honored, but they should be, if only as inspiration to others who follow. Let us establish distinctive Canadian tributes and show honor to those who have helped tb huild us to\vhere we ar'e. We suggest the Order of the Maple. CLERGYMAN WARNS 0F DANGER SEEKING MORE FOR LESS WORK Very Rev. George C. Pidgeon, f irst Maderator of the United Church of Can- ada, in his weekly article in a Toronto paper on "Religion and Life" offers some timely advice which well might be put into actioni by many of us when he writes: "One of the dangers of our time is the spirit which is demanding more and more for less and iess, and is striving to imit the work which a man may be expected to do. On the one hand, il is conceded that the harnessing of Nature's forces ought first ta lift burdens from the back of labor. In the past the load laid on the toiler has been cruel and has stunted his growth and shortened his life, and the first obligation of a Christian cîvilization 15 10 lighben that load. But that does not detract from every man's duty ta make the most of his gifts and opportunities. He owes his utmost ta God, and he will be held to account for it. "Labor Unions are on the defensive today befere the public conscience for the way many of them are keeping the work which their members are allowed to do far beiow the average man's capacity. These regulabions may be justifiable but bhey have flot yeb been justified. The daily work by which our families are supported is our contribution 10 our gen- eration, and is the true expression of the character which Christ has wrought in us and the principles which He has taught us. Il is there that we serve Him f irst of afl, and by the spirit in which our work is done, we express aur idea of what He is. We dare not offer Him less than our best?"

Arthur Welsh, Provincial Secre- tary and Ontario Ca-ordinator of Civil Defence. The pragram will provide for standardization of ail hydrant out- let ports, hase, couplings, nozzle connections and auxiliary con- necting equipment. "The Ontario Government will pay $600.000 of the cost and the Federal Government will con- tribute $300,000," Col. Welsh said on his return from Ottawa after a conference with Federal author- ities. "Standardization will mean that ail available firefighting equipment of neighbaring munici- palities can be used in fighting large fires. At present, this can- not be done except with the use of adapters. "As well as meeting this tra- 1ditional problemn in f ire fighting, the standardization programn will strengthen aur provincial civil defence organization. In times of fire disaster, including those that may be caused by enemy air at- tack. ail the firefighting equip- ment of the province may be called up and it must be able ta be connected ta any hydrant or ta any other equipment on the scene. This wilI be of particular advantage ta border municipali- ties which will be able ta inter- change with neighboring United States centres." Ail hase equipment wili be standardized at 21/2 inches in di- ameter, and couplings at 3'à in- ches diameter with five threads ta the inch. Ail auxiliary con- necting equipment will alsa bc standardized. The pragrom xiii include standardization of indus- triai firefighting equipment sa that municipal fire department equiprnent may connect ta thier. 0f the major cities, the Toron- ta metropolitan area is the only ane flot requiring conversion. Windsor, Hamilton, London and Ottawa will have ta be standard- ized. The cost of the programn will include equipment and labor. -y Where municipalities' f ire depart- ments are flot able ta make theil own conversion, tearns of experts will be sent out ta make the change.i "It is expected that the stand. ardization program xiii be com- pieted by 1952," Col. Welsh said. He's TJnder Cover, HOW about you? Disaster may take a big bite out of your pocketbook! Do you have well-desitned protection agalnst financlal lost f ire, thef t, accident or other perils?
