PAGE FOUR - - -- - EDITORIALS Advice to Newly Elected In last week's Statesman, we presum- ed to comment on the municipal elections before they happened, knowing full wel that there probabiy would be many changes in personnel. That comment was directed ta winners and lasers as well as citizens generaily; This week, only a few weeks before inaugual meetings of new councils wîlI be held-al aver Durham, we take this opportunity of offering suggestions to the re-eiected and the newcomers to the job. First, and we think most important. 15 the old adage I'make haste siowly". Previaus councils have spent many hours and much thought an some of their pro- jects. While it is obvious that the public generally does not agree with some of those things which have been done., it would be well to give careful study to alternatives before scrapping them. A littie time spent in thorough deliberations may prevent mistakes from being made. Second, don't try to please every- oe. It just cannot be done. Study every proposai in the light of ail factors concern- ed and when you came to your decision, stick with it, uniess someone can prove ta you that your idea is unworkable or wrong in some other way. Don't be ewayed by rumors or politics or pressure groups. It is your job ta do the besi. you can for ail of the people now and to lay a good foundation in legisiation for years ta come. Third, keep the public informed of what is poing on. Tbey want tro know and are entitled to every bit af information that. wit.hin discretion. ran b. given. Fourth. treat Pevery nickel that i. b.- ing spent as though it werm your own that vou had wvorked long and hard ta earn. Yýou won't get aiiy thanks for holding the tax rate down, but you'll get far leas if, because of some unwise action on your part, the rate ha. ta go up. Fifth, bc. prepared to devote as muclt tirne as is necessary ta do the job prop- erly. Being a member of council or one of the other municipal bodies is a time- consuming responsibility that is very demanding as you will find. The publie have placed their confidence in you ta fulfili the important position you hold with intelligence, integrity and industry. Don't let them down. FinaIiy, we at The Statesman shali continue to do our utmost to report your activities fairly and accurately throughout the year. If you have any complaints about those reports, please don't hesitate to write the Editor to correct or clarify them. We are here to serve the people by providing them with news and informa-. tion. We have no axes to grind, nor pet politicians to support and in our editorial columns we shahl endeavour to be con- structive. Our very best wishes go with alilof you as you begin your duties. If we can be of help in any way, please cail upan us. 1The current flue-cured tobacco auc- lion market is moving along witb grati- fying success, with a steady volume cf good tobacco passirig through the ware- houses each day at a price f airly'close to the 56-cent-per-pound average set by the Arbitration Board, says The Simca. Re- former. Unquestionabiy thara is a keen de- mand for this year's crop of fiue-cured tobacco and the buying companies are showing ari apparent raadiness to pur- ehase the leaf at goad prices in order te replenlsh their stocks, which have been mnaterially depieted in recent years. If the present pace can ba maintained, the crop should b. disposed of in record time, înasmuch as total volume is iikely ta be wel below 150 million pounds. It là considered ane of the best crops in recent years, particulariy since the vasi. majority of growers rsfrained from using the cheial )M-30 ini producing their 'Tops. The growers »equre a good price for tÙeo leaf this yeer. In the first place, Cam huiatmm hosptalitw be OevaE- demie? It uan, by introducing an uninvited and unweicome guast ta the holiday festiv- ities - FIRE. One ai the worst fire hazards comas at the bestt une «f year - the tree at Christmas. Same helptul pointers for your Christ- mas decorating are ofiered by the Ontario Safety'League. 1. Christmas lights may look identicai, but can differ vastiy in quaiity. Make sure yours have the C.S.A. (Canadian Standards Association) or U.L. (Under- writarW,.Laboratories) embiem cf approv- ai. These meet electrical safety standards. Lights aqui1ppad with a safaty fuse i. the piug are a good buy. 2; Make sure your outdoor lights are designed for this purpose, and are prop- .riy insuiated against snow and ramn. 3. Cheose a fresh trea - Scotch pine lasts longest - and leave it outdoors until needed. Before you put yaur trea up, cut off the bottam an inch from, the original èut and stand it in water avernight. T.oday's housewîfe, using torivenience foods, can'prepare a day's meais for a faniily of four in. about an hour and a haif, whereas a fewyears ago it took five- and a hall hours - most of it 9pent over the kitchen stove. The modern housewile - 1959 variety - wants - and gets - her spinach chopped and frozen, her chicken cut up and ready to fry, her roils ready to pop into the aven. These groceries with "buit-in maid service" often are blamed for higher food prices. But an Agriculture Depart- they reduced acreage by 25 par cent. Then tha combined efforts ai drought, hail and frost had a serious consaquence for the majority of growers. Some unI ortunate growers lest the greatar part of their crops and there is no way in which they car recoup their lassas. The large majority were affected by the unprecedented savare frost in mid-September, when much to- bacco was still unharvestad due in parit to the labour shortage. Therefore evan with the present average price prevailing, many growsrs wil have difflcuity in showing a profit on their year's aperatians. No doubt the buying companies will take this fact into consideration, as it would be a calamity if many present tobacco growers, with their huge investment in property and equipment, were forced out ai business. There is every prospect that cansumption of flue-cured leaf wiil continue ta increase in Canada and it is haped that a substantial share cf the export market may be main- talned. The current auction market could have a vital bearing an the whole future cf the flue-cured tobacca industry. 4. Check your Chrîstinas te. lighto f or frayad wiring and brokan sockets, Avoid splicmng. Aiways remove the piug from the outiet before breaking eonc- tiens betwean sets of lights. Watch for any sparks when connecting or discannact- isig lights. 5. It's a suicidal practice. t replace fusas with coins. Fuses are for your pro- tection. Coins cau lead te fire. 6. Be sure your Christmas tra. le la-. cated well away from the fireplace, radiat- or, television set, powerful alectrical lights, and other sources ai heat. 7. Make sure you use "fire-retardlant"' crepe paper when decorating, and if yow use cotton-under the trea b. sure it is fire- rasistant. On Christmas day dispose of! gift-wrappings as soon as possible. 8. Removing a sacket from a series of lights overloads the circuit, causing ovar- heating and fire danger. Leaving yeur iights on for an extended period cf turne ean elso cause overheating. This can ha avoided by the use of an adaptor te make lights switch on and off. ment siudy now ishowls that caitvemetuee feods increase the customer's food bill by only a little over one-haîf ai ane per cent. And think of the saving in time and effortO. The question is asked, however, wh.y have food prices risan during the pest decade in the face ai fauling pricas for farm products? The answer can ha iound in the market reports. The retail cost of a typical family's market basket of farin- food products today is put at $1,065 a year, versus $940 10 years aga. But the fermer receives only $427 of today's retail total, an 8 par cent drap from the $466 he receiv- cd a decade aga. And the net profit margins ai food preduciug or processing corporations - the middle muen - were smnaller in 1958 than lu 1959, with the exception of! meat packing, which was un- chenged. One major eause of rising food prices is the higher cost of moving <reps from farm ta table. Labor, shipping, supplies, fuel and power and taxas have ail gene up, but fhanks ta the distributive econemies developed by the industry, food price increases have net been as great as thase for many other "necessity" goods and services, such as elothing, shelter and transportation. The mode!rn houaewiia certainly prof- its by ail this progress and depite the swift pace of today's lving, keeps a home that is the envy ai ail the world.

They have got to lay thair cards on the table witli each other. They have got ta find stablility, or aur markets are going to vanis1W cornpletely. Warnings of this kind have corne to Canadien labor and in- dustry fromn many sources over the past faw years, but the speech from which the above paragraph is taken is peculiarly significant for three reasons. Fii-st, the speaker was Mr. Harold Winch, Member of Par- liament for Vancouver East, and for naarly 30 yaars one of the bast-known and most militant leaders of the Ca-Operative Commonwealth Federation. Second, he lied just returned from a 42,000-mile world tour in which he visited Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaya, Thaîland, Pakistan, Iran and thie Un.ited Kingdom, and in which ha inquired particularly into the state of Canada's foreign trade. Third, hie was speaking toaa COF meeting at Vancouver in the hzart of British Columbia --the Province which has the iost militant labor movement, the most frequent strikes, and the highest production costs of any part of Canada. Over the past two years, one major walk- out bas followed another, in the basic industries sucli as lumber- ing and fisýhing (bath of which depend to an unusual degrea on averseas miarkets) and in the secondary industries. Lacs of production for 1959 bas been estimated at 1,500,000 man days. The casueýl attitude toward la- bor disputes was Mr. Winch's target. Ha seid: I know that I could become very popular ta, corne baok and ,peak a lot of dogme. I know that 1 shail probably become very unpopular for being so blunt, so brutolly frank. But [ would lie lass than honast to say anything but what f amn saying tonighit, befare my own party, in my first publie address xince my returo t[ have corne back from this trip around the world dater- mined ta gat ctown to earth. Mir. Winch went on ta explain just how labor troublas were af- !fecting the market for Canadian 3.20 p.n. and landed at MaÉto»i at Il p.m.. the same day. We could not bave had trip on the first class flight, on a tourist. ticket, if ail the seats had been bought by first class passengers This was non-stop from Calgarv to Malton, we dodged along at 320 miles per hour, nearlly four miles up. On a first class ticket, 'tihe plane's compartments are cailed cabins; you have a rea- sonable choice of .5eats; a stew- ardess, and a steward. At regu- lar intervals the steward gives out a bulletin on the P.A. sys- iem andlthe mea: 'atêhot. la ail ather respecté, the serview are identical. Each of aur tick- ets cost $178, Whiah covered everything and no tipping a- lowed. It': a bit expensive, but has train or ear beaten tu a frazzle.

At the airport, your baggage is weighed, and Yeu don't seeA uit ti the end of the flight. A loudspeaker tells You when your plane' s ready, and when Yeui can go aboard. Most of the time, -the plane is so steady hat, the tea, or other liquid en the tray, doesn't spill. Just touèh a but- ton, and your seat radlines, inaking it easier te sleep.

The United Kiingdomlias either already eut off or if planning ta out off certain Canadian Ths, he noted, was partly the. resuit cf the hlgh. prices charg. ed by Canada for tinibar, asbas- tçs and the like. But aven more, it was thie impression created in other countries by the strikes themselves. Mr. Winch pointed out: When 1 told Iihem 1 came freim B.C.-it did not matter what country I was m-theyr replied: "Oh, thaVts where youa have ail the str.&àes." . .. .1 learned that it is istabiiity Qisy want from us. Mr. Winch emphasized Ihet ho was not saying that waes paid in Canada were toc ihb. li. was simply warning that they' could flot keep going Up with. out an increase in productivity.- The people in those coun- tries like us, but thay say quite franklýy that they don't awe us a living. And if we- employers, labor and Govarn- ment-dan't recognize this, we are i for a bitter time in the next two yeairs. There, o! course, is the key of thbe problem. Toc many Can- adians, not al of' themn in the ranks of labor, assume that they are entitled ta a particular -standard of livings- represent- ed by a favorable wage or rate of profit-as a matter cf righl, rega.rdless of whethker the world is prepared ta buy iJheir Pro- ducts at the value they set on theni. Warnings against thfis error have corne from acononi- ists, businessmen, an~d Govern- ment leaders. Theyý hava baen generally disregarled. It ra- mains to be sean wihether the counsel of a veteran Socialist like Mr. Winch wiil be heeded batte r. In any event, Mt-.
