"I fight your batties for you; I see that yau are not charged more than you sbauld pay for the electric lights yau use or the -e-phones. through which v'ou speak; I see that you get 10 gallons of gas from the pump wvhen vou ask for it; I see that vou get pure milk and that therr are no typhoid germs in the oysters which yau buy; I plant fish in your favourite ponds and strearns for you to catch and lie about,- 1 carry letters ta the ends of the earth and 1 check up on vour wife's hairdresser ta rnake sure that she is physicall 'v fit ta give ber the latest 'hair-do'. I give -you band concerts in the parks, and I see that your kids have a place ta skate in the winter. "When you smoke in bed or your wife leaves the iran on, my boys show up to put the fire out. I count deer who grow in your woods and I police them ta see that they are flot wantonly destroyed. I educate yaur children, and I take care of you r neighbours who lack jobs or the ability ta provide for themselves. I record the facts when you were born and you neyer have been and neyer will be out of contact with me until I record your death. AIl these things I do for you and a thousand more. "And what do yau do for me? "Nothing! Except ta grumble for about two weeks when I send you a bill for what I do and damn me if you think I've been inefficient or careless in doin&Z the things you want me ta do and which you know cost vou ]ess when 1 do themn for you than if vau attempted ta do themn for Yourself. Occasionallv you spend haif an hour gainpg down ta the vating booth and marking X's for the men and ,vomen you happen ta think will do the most for y'ou. As soon as you can you dismiss me from your mind and turn ta the things which interest and amuse vou mare. "In the last analysis, I am as much entîtled ta vour attention throughout the year as vou are entitled ta giet what I do for 'vou at the Iowest possible cost and without waste or neglect. "Why can't we get together?' Self - Providers Should Protest John Atkins in The Rural Scene mnakes another good suggestion that all Canadians might give seriaus considera- tion ta improving aur way of life when he writes: The unorganized expendables of the Canadian political economy are the self- providers who cannot earn but must eke out an existence on dwindling dollars that are warth only a fraction of the value in food, clothing and shelter which they had when they were earned and saved for a rainy day. Inflation has been caused by the failure of gavernments ta maintain persan- ai freedom and personal responsibility. By yielding ta the demands of organiz- ed groups, for an undue share of the wealth produced, governments have de- prived the unarganized expendables of bath their personal, democratic rights and the benefits of their industry and thrift. Despite their lack of effective organiz- ed means of protest, the unorganized expendables of the Canadian political economy have a most patent means of demanding politîcal and economic justice. They can each write ta their elected representatives, particularly ta premiers, telling them how they are personally harm- ed and making demands for equity. Churches Now In Full Use Rev. Gordon Lapp, a native of Brighton and Well known in this district, in a recent sermon brought out the fact that the Chùrches of Canada are being brought into greater use. In the aid days, the minister said, the doors were seldom open more than twice a week for regular service on SÙndays and prayer meeting on Wednes- day. -We well remember thase days when If was the duty of a janitor of a village church ta sweep and dust and get the fires gaing in the big wood stoves in the Wlinter. It was some task ta bring the heat up for Sunday and Wednesday. The church now, the minister said, is in almost constant dailv use by various graups carrying on important wvork among children and adults at home and abroad. Now nearly every evening bright and frîendly ig hts issue a welcome toalal and in> the daytime the warm church is an inviting and suitable place for meetings of variaus church graups who practice practical christianity every day of the week an-d not just on Sunday. This is as it should be. The church is much toa im- portant an edîfice ta lie idle when people need sanctuary. It lends the dignity and serenity ta carry on the Master's work. The change ta greater use is beneficial from the spiritual as well as the material side. Greater use means incmeased interest and further inspiration for those dedicated people working sa hard ta advance the sublime teachings of Christ. In these days of stress, a seven-day church, a friendly minister and a warking congregatian can do much ta combat the many ilis that beset us. Is it too embar- rassing a question ta ask ta vhat extent are we each cantributing aur full share in service and talents ta this betterment of the Master's work? No Fringe on the Top 1It wasn't much ta look at. It lacked the zip and dash of the slim-lined top buggy nom did it exclude the aura of style and social elevation generated by a fringe- top surrev. But there are men and women of mature yeams who recall the serviceable, sturdy and plebeian democrat. It was the plain. evemyday democrat With its box body, two seats and heavy dashbaard that th'e family used for going ta the village on Saturday evening ta do the week's tmading at the general store. It was the democrat that carried the farnihy to chureh in stormy xeather fromn Spring until snaw time, for a vehicle as flossy and expensive as the surrey could only be used in goad weather! There was roomn beneath the demo- crat's seat for boxes of butter and the firkin of eggs with a layer of sawdust at the bottom. With the rear seat removed one could carry a barre] of apples ta Uncle Jason and Aunt Thankful in the village, along with a bag of Irish Cobhler potatoes and a box of turnips. It was the democrat that a lad used the first time he was ahhowed to drive ta the village ahane. It was the democrat he used wvhen father said a boy could have a day off and drive ta Long Pond for a day's pickerel fishîng. It was a humble xehicle in comparisan with other wagons, but it has plaved its raie xvehl in the drama of transportation.-Ottawa Journal.

Dear George, I was glad ta receive a i-c-- cent issue of The Statesman and read it with considerable interest as I've been counting an making a visit back ta my native town before passing on. I'm appmaacbing my 1lth cycle (77) on Dec. 5th, '57. Readling the local paper brings back many mernories o! well known characters of my youtbful days such as the Marsh Toad, Bill Sleep and others. Do you rememnber Jim- my Winters and Joe Laughin who lived in the South Ward? Jimn Winters fell on his head from a box car on an aid nar- row gauge construction train in Bruce County. We often would see him fishing under the G. T. R. bridge, or Souch's Creek on a Sundav when I was out for a walk with Dad. At one time 1 think he aperated the pump- ing station at west end of G. T.R. station at Bamber's Creek. Did N ou ever hear of John Noon who lived in the Provid- ence district? Dad knew him well and he gave his gold head- ed cane ta Dad which I now have, minus the ebonv came. Nearing the tirne of full moon John would start out before breakfast and run ta Omono and back. He seemed ta be ai- ways in a rush, too, when mralk- ing. At that time I thought a 9-mile run was some distance.

Under this Plar and the recent amendment tc tthe Incarne Tax Act, ahl persons earning an incarne in Canada may now avail thernselves of substantial incarne tax savings, and at the same time provide Retirement Pensions for them. selves. The Sterling Trusts Corpora- tion is prepared ta receive pay- ments o! as littie as $100,00, or a maximum o! 10 percent o! the participant's earned incarne, hi any one year. Ail manies receiv- ed by the Corporation will be invested and will return cur- rentlv a guaranteed rate of 5 -percent for a period of five years. The rate o! interest will of course fluctuate with the generai interest rate, and mav be higher or lower for pay- ments made during subsequent years. Any persan entering the Plan this year wili bc taking advantage of the present tîgbt maney situation, and will bc reaping the benefit therefrom. This Plan bas the great ad- vantage that it is entireiy flex- ible in that no deposit whatso- ever need be made in any one year, and maximum deposits can bc made in gaod years thereby increasing the incarne tax savings. In addition, in the event a! the death o! a partici- pant before the maturity date, all deposits plus interest com- pounded half-yearly will bc availabie ta bis estate. When the maturity date of the Plan arrives The Sterling Trusts Corporation wilI pur- chase an annuity as directed bv the participant after he has shopped around ta find out which annuity offers the rnost for bis money. The annuit 'v can bc an ordinary life annuity or an annuity for bimself and h;s xvife, and guaranteed for up t fifteen years if desired. The Sterling Trusts Corpora- tion feels that this Plan bas cer- tain substantial advantages in that it is guamanteed by a re- spons;ible financial institution and is not dependent on the fu- ture break up value of invest- mients made on behaîf of the participants. There wvi1 be no i- deducted fromn the yeariy *in- )- came credited to the depasits, rs and as the yearly incarne will y alsa be income tax free the ef- o fective rate o! meturn will be n high.
