Such criti- cism, ta be sure, has been voiced oniy by a few irresponsibie union heads, anýd the vast majority ai union members would feel that such utterances were bath indis- creet and in execrable taste. Certainiy most people would be hard put ta imagine any pensons who wouid be better quaiif ied ta determine the facts and ta make im- partial recommendations for settiement in a labor dispute than members of the judiciany. No findings command greater public respect than those oi the learned rnembers ai the bench. Canada has aiways been proud ai its judiciary. Justice Minister Fuiton's proposai that judges na longer be asked ta serve on con- ciliation boards, therefore, is clearly aim- ed at remaving members af the judicias'y from situations in which they may be open ta unwarranted criticism and attack. This being sa, his decision is a sound one. There are, however, speciai situations in which the high public respect heid for the judiciary necessitates that judges serve as final arbiters in controversial national issues involving labor. Such a case is the appointment ai three high court judges ta serve as a Royal Commission in the diesel firernan dispute. Mr. Fulton's remarks about the im- prapriety of publiecrciticism ai judges serv- ing in labor disputes should make it clear that the findings ai the Rayai Commission ai three high court judges in the diesel fireman case, when they make their report ta the Government, should be accepted without question by ail concerned. Winner in the Long Run Uridoubtedly the higher wages and sharter working hours oi industriai work- ers are a great factor in the exodus of young people from the rural districts ta the cities, aithaugh there are campensat- ing advantages in the independent lufe and more healthiul atmosphere ai the farm'. A writer, looking ahead, suggests that net ail city peaple wiii share in the dlaim- cd advantages ai city life-that profession- ai peopie and others who do net punch the time dlock day after day aiso wil crowd into cities and, while there wili be aimost a dead level among factary work- ers under protection ai the unions, these athers will face such campetition that only those af mare than ordinary ability will be able ta achieve success. Thus, whiie large numbers in the cities will be struggiing ta keep their heads above water, there will be fewer- in proportion if not in actual number- leit on the farms and with larger holdings, mare machinery, and higher prices their products wiil command, the independent farmers will be the aristocracy ai the future. It may be that the young feilow who stays an the farm wiil be the winner in the long run. Don't Fool Yourself 1 When it cames te taxes, so-called social security rates second aniy ta dci ence security ini Federal spending. This fact,' brought out by former Treasury Board Secretary J. J. Deutsch ini an~ address before the. Canadian Cham- ber of Commerce, is anc which Canadians are all tan prane ta shrug off because, as Mr. Deutsch points out, social security spendig "bas gone forward on tiie as- sumption that somneone cise wiil pay for themn." Social services provided by the Gav- ernment represent a charge an income fia less surcly than social services purchased privateiy in the form ai insurance. Taxes, hidden and otherwise, coliected from the public, paid for aid age pensions and other security disbursemnents made by the Federai Government. The Oid Age Secunity Tax, Excise Tax, Sales Tax, and a variety ai other levies, reflected flot only in the direct-taxes which people pay, but in the prices -thcy pay for food, clothing and shelter, are the source ai the funds that meet the staggering cost ai State wel- fare. Nobady expects that social sccurîty costs wiii diminish. But since every wage earner in the country is calied upon.ta faot the bill, it might be weli ta sce how much Canadians can afford before embarking on any further expansion ai the country's social security program.

Youth - A State of Mind Youth is flot a time af lufe - it is a state ofi mmd. It is flot a matter of ripe cheeks, red lips and supple bones; it is a temper of the wiii . . . a quality of the imagination . . . a vigour af the emations. Nobody grows aid by merely living a number of years - people grow old by deserting their ideas. Years wrinkie the skin, but ta give up enthusiasm wrinkies the soul. Worry, doubt, self-trust, fear and despair - these are the long, long years that biaw the heart and turn the greening spirit back ta dust.

A bit af background of Robini Adain's career might be inter. esting for it reveals that he was barn in Scatland and brought ta Canada by Rawlinson Bras., natives af Scotland, wha baught a ranich south af Calgary, in the foothilis af the Rocky Mountains in Alberta. Senator Bejth vis- îted this ranch and bought this Young stallion in the rauqh, reaizîng it had great Passibilities as a show horse. It was brought ta the Waverly Stables at Bow- manville whenc it was trained unden the akilful bandg of Tommy Graham and ather Wav. erly helpers. What became ai Robin Aclair? Mr. Beith had no notion af seil- ing him immediately after win. ning such hanars. Haweven, amang the admirera af this handsome acting horse was Mitchell Harrison ai Philadel. phia, who was president ai the Pennsylvania Railway, wha was determined ta buy Robin Adair, and he did by paying Mr. Beith $7,500, which was a -record price in those "goad aid days"s when maney was flot as fluent as it lu ta-day. The next year Senator Beith mnade a tri p te Scatland and bought another Hackney stallion which he trained at the local stables here and was shown ai the Horse Show in New York that yean when it beat Robin Adain.
