In the next two months they will be very busy _ trying to prove to the voters that they have done a good job and are worthy |. of re-election. In many cases, they will be giving an accurate account "of good work done; however, many of them have to rely on the record of the party to which they belong for they, --themselves; have actually done little or nothing in their four years at Ottawa, 3 : It is a national responsibility to criticize our law-makers. It is a democratic duty to hold them respons- ible for what they say and what they- do. Unfortunately, some of them say nothing and do nothing. Apart from attendance at the sessions--when ab- solutely necessary -- voting with the without question--or - careful review of the matter. in hand .-. they literally do nothing. ! ' It is our responsibility to see that the representatives we send to parlia- ment are not merely rubber stamps, If the public demand to know what the candidate is prepared 'to do, if Him to pledge himself to- wark for certain objectives; if they check up on his work in pariament, the rubber. stamp member will disappear. The trouble with too many peliticians is "hot-air -promises-which they never in-- tend to keep. In the two months prior to the election they work hard trying' to persuade the people they will-do something beneficial; that they will . conscientiously perform the duties the . people have conferred upon them, ' and the one thing in their mind is their: own career. They have no public con- science and little personal conscience '. . they are. opportunists and their minds are on the main chance. Too many of such going to parliment can create an awful 'mess for us-in the next four or five years ... and. we will have no one to blame but our- selves, SAMUEL FARMER ESTATE 160,000 teachers are quite unqualified _age salary for the teachers in Canada Comments OUR SCHOOLS To say that our nation"is as great as our schools and our schools as great as the teachers who teach in them is, of course, not true. But anyone who would deny that our schools greatly affect the nation have little insight into the world of to-day. Schools are important and each year sees us mak- ing greater demands on them. How- ever, it is becoming increasingly ap- parent that our school system in Can- ada is beginning to fail us. Lowered standards in the public schools, in the secondary schools and in the univer- sities are reflected in the Rational life of our people. One of the chief reasons for fathiie of our school system is the lack of qualified teachers. Over 40% of our for the job they hold; many of the others have but minimum qualifica- tions, The standards in the teaching profession are low. The principal rea- son is to be found in the inadequate salaries paid our teachers. The aver- in 1948 was below the national average for all workers. - If we are going to have good teach- ers we must do two things. First, we must pay better salaries now; secondly we must take steps: to raise the stan- dards in the teaching profession. We should require: of our teachers a unis versity degree and training of a better type than is common in our normal schools and training colleges to-day. 'We have money for cosmétics, for liquor, for refrigerators, for cars. if-we can find money for these things we can find money for our teachers. It has 'been definitely proven the mere a country spends upon education, the better off the country becomes But dpart fom monetary gain, not only. will we increase our national, income when we begin to spend more money on education -but we will provide our children with the possibilities of a much figer life, If everybody gets be- hind a move to pay teachers adequate salaries, they will .be directly-. contri- buting to a better standard of living for F Wemselves, The Cres Ayaidet Canis During the past few: weeks most of _us have heard about this crusade. News of it has been in the press, on the air, and in many towns-and cities Ministers of the Gospel have devoted at least one- sermon - period to the spreading of information on this im- portant subject. ° Needless to say it is a most important subject and the lack "of knowledge concerning it is only overshadowed by thé great mass of Mis-information that has been spread abroad about. cancer. In an endeavour first of all to com- bat this the National Cancer Society was formed with branches in every community. Here in Port Perry the + work of enrolling new members in this Society has been undertaken by the members of the I.0.D.E. under the]; chairmanship of Mrs. Marguerite Brock. Doubteless in the near future ~ you will be approached by one of these "ladies with a request that you join the Society. . The cost of this membership is only $1.00 per year. This entitles you to receive information concerning - cancer as it is made available for dis- "tribution, Only the most up-to-date ~ and authentic information is published so you need have no doubt of its re- liability, This educational campai accounts for the greatest part of your 'membership fee but the remainder is also phat to good use; it is used to buy material for dressings made up by volunteer workers and distributed free of "charge to patients suffering from cancer who are unable to provide these 'for themselves. Now efforts are be- ing made to provide free transporta- tion to and from special Cancer clinics for patients so that ihability to meet this expense will no "longer hinder these 'patients from receiving the best possible treatment. These are but a few of the objectives t by far the most important to the ndividual will be the educational liter- ature he or she will receive periodical- ly concerning Cancer, .. Who knows Lh : > the mind of the Society members, 'but that this may be the means of saving someone the physical and men- tal suffering attendant upon this dis- e.

MORE LOCAL NEWS Members! members! members: great people to have when you run a club. We've quite a few now, verging on a hundred as a matter of fact.

It is regretable but there seems to be a few of cur members droppihg out this year. We would like to remind them that when they joined they swore to obey the rules and by-laws of the club. One of the laws states that no one can be permitted to leave. the club without a written resignation. Need- less to say, between the time you be- cone in arrears and the time we re- ceive your resignation you will not be permitted the use of the club house as would be a member in good standing. Actually, the law seems a trifle silly, but laws are made to be obeyed and this one will hélp keep the records in order.
