AEs EE Frit sy 2 d 5 a We w Notes and IDEAS ARE WEALTH ° Psychologists are very fond of pro- claiming from their ivory towers that the great majority of people exist-- they do not really live, Their argu- ments, somewhat simplified and con- densed, boil down to one--most people get into a rut; they do the same things » in the same way, day after day; their y musements and hobbies are canned 'experiences which require in place of an opener, turning the radio switch, paying out the price of an admission ticket, or reading both lurid and insipid literature. They claim that life should be a challenge and unless it is a' chal- lenge we are existing rather than Comments hands of private owners whose num- bers have steadily increased since World War I. And these lands are worked by capitalist enterprise. More- over, a major part of our transport by land, by seas, and by air, is conducted generally by private direction using the funds supplied by thousands of small investors. The towns and great cities with their factories and their workshops; with their dense popula- tions sustained by work for wages; with their countless agencies of dis- tribution by middlemen; with their conditions of housing, supply, and conveyance--all these are creations of modern capitalism, * living. : Now, nothihg quite puts zest into the business of living more than ideas. And we, all of us, are full of ideas. Some of these are quite fantastic like the key-ring which we dreamed up about'a year ago. All the k8ys lay flat on a special jig-saw kind of ring-- they-slip off with a simple twist--we dismissed the idea it- was pretty far- fetched. About a month later we saw the thing advertised in a national mag- azine as the latest thing in key rings. 'But many of the ideas aren't fantastic . ++. they are good; we don't do anything with them because -- well, there are so many other things which take up our time... there's the radio, meetings, the show and so on . our ideas--just nicely get going when we slip back into the old groove and the 'swoosh' the idea has gone. to join the myriad throng: that once almost stirred us into doing something. * Now, in a town the size of Port Perry there must be many. ideas, Many of these ideas are really good ones . . but -you'can't tell much about an idea unitl you are willing to try it out. Until you are willing to put it to the test of failure or success, - But fail or succeed, the psychologists stoutly maintain, we will be living. Existence, mere existencé isn't good enough, so let's start trotting our ideas out to the proving ground and watch things hum in our community. THE PROFIT MOTIVE There are countless people who be- ' lieve that what makes this world go is_the 'profit motive,' For them, per- sonal gain is the sole spring of effort and the one key to progress. It is more than that ,. . for them it is also the whole story of Capitalism, and with this, we most emphatically dis- agree. : ; Anybody who would deny the great contributions of capitalisni to western civilization has little understanding or appreciation of the world in which he lives, Everywhere the soil which feeds all other human activities is in the But into that creation has gone un- told unselfishness and heroic gener- osity., What would our present status be if it had not been for the work and sacrifice of such men as Pasteur, Banting, Edison, Bell, Goodyear, and Einstein; of such womeit as Florence Nightingale, Madame Curie; Elizabeth Fry-- These are but a few names of those who achieve fame or greatness apart from a profit motive . . . and among the lesser great whose names are not enrolled on the pages of history but whose altruism gladdened and en- riched life with dignity and value so that we might reap where they sowed. The human being is to complex a personality to be inscribed within the mean compass of that which we call the 'profit motive.' Into the picture enter his convictions, his feelings and his passions; into the picture enter the desire for leisure, for independence and. for security. The true development of personal interest is an expanding one and this we have truly observed and noted. Its growth is out from the. family to the community, from the community to the country, from the country to all humanity which is the last and high- est expression of human interest, This is-what- Christ knew and this is- what Christ taught, It is impossible to explain modern economic 'development in terms of capitalism whose basic drive is the personal one of private gain... ..

It would seem that this is an ideal way to teach both young and old, the audience! certainly was an appreciative one. and there was not a sound from the chil- dred whilst the film was showing. One felt how nice it would be if there could be more films like this made, portray- ing Christ as a child and then grow- ing up; what a help this would be, to the youthful generation. Following this, was a travelogue, in technicolor, entitled, "Across Canada", and made by the C.P.R. Here we were whisked from Nova Scotia, west right through to Vancouver, What a beautiful country Canada is! One wanted to be on that train all the time.

He did not-mind, and it was Bruce Beare who put up the vote of thanks to Frank when finally the constitution was passed. : Then we had a lot of fun playing crokinole, with Kay Pickard, aur president, ns winner,.Frank Hastings, secofld; Elsie.

Dr. Lowrey chose Matt, 28, the record of the manner of Christ's burial and of how He arose from the grave, of his Bible lesson, and his remarks were very practical, earnest and sincere.

'the' Hospital has now been closed for four months and at the Public Meeting held in the Library shortly after the closing the Board promised to call another such open meeting in nbout two weeks to report progress, No such meeting was called and the Board meeting held later produced nothing. We are of the opinion that our people have not been | shown the extreme urgency of the sit- uation and we believe we are in a position to assess that urgency since we are in daily contact with the sick. It is factious to say we don't need a 'Hospital and that we ~van get our patients into other hospitals, This latter is true to a point for which we, in Port Perry ought to very thankful since there is no reason why any other town or city should provide hospital room for our people, but as a case in point we might state that one of us has just had a patient admitted to a City Hospital after he had been the waiting list for EIGHT WEEKS. Does anyone still think we don't need a hospital? We therefore call on all other members of the Hospital Board to move NOW strenuously to the re- opening of Port Perry Hospital with- We are certain that with the support and co-operation of all our people this can be done now.
