Of course they don't say it right out What government controls would any more but we know -what they protect high employment? How can we see that men get to those parts of the country where their labour is most needed? Why can't we begin to drop many of the artificial restrictions that we have imposed on both trade and pro- duction? (And that goes for labour unions, too.) Why can't we take the necessary steps to enter into bi-lateral trade agreements in order to build up our economy ? Do our exports always have to pay off in American dollars or money which can be readily con- verted into such currency? Can't we maintain a total.spending by attempting to bring prices down to a reasonable level? High profits are surely going to destroy the confidence of the buyer as well as drive him out of the consumer market. And, lastly, why can't the govern- ment regulate the flow of investment? And we mean Canadian investment. Far too much of the investor capital finding its way into this country, is American. The best way to beat unemployment is to do something constructive for maintaining high employment . .. the sure way to be beaten by it is to go on as we are doing till the very last moment refusing to admit that it is a possibility until you cannot deny its presence. . | mean just the. same. If, as children, we resigned our- selves to grown-up domination we likely accept the '"don'ts" of our friends with a kind of listless, "What's - the use", attitude, - Either way we are not helping our society very much. We have the right kind of training to help us to be good citizens and, what's more, likeable people too, if we have been taught to think out situations as they come; to see the consequences of our actions before we do them and give ourselves the correct signal to STOP or GO. This does not mean that we trust no one and have a complete "I'm from Missouri" attitude. It means that we have developed good judgment be- cause someone back there in our child- hood days was patient and unselfish enough to teach us to see ahead, to explain why we do or do not do certain things and above all to make us see that there are fine people in this world whom we can_trust and obey without losing our self-respect. It may have been a mother or father, or a teacher but whoever it was they showed us chiefly what TO DO and how to know fine people from the lesser type. Above all they were so busy opening new doors with firm but kindly hands that they had precious little time left for "don'ts." Crop Catastrophe (N. Aldred) ! Almost three weeks of continuous dry weather, sereing winds, along with two nights of frost has caused a serious situation in hay and grain rops in BE To Ontario. Fruits and vegetabls, too, have been badly damaged. Some farmers have writ- ten off the hay crop, and some grains "have never sprouted-and-have -had to be sown again. Pasture lands are gradually drying beyond repair which will seriously curtail milk production. To say the situation is serious is _ putting it mildly, for if rain doesn't fall in the near future the farmers will have a crises on their hands which could be very serious. Last year a bumper crop of hay was harvested, as was grain and root crops. Farmers were then crying for extra help, but this year extra farm labour is being cancelled. Mr. Grant Christie, of Manchester, informs me that the hay crop is just ~ half as compared to last year. Wheat is fair and will be saved if we have rain in the next few days, and still holding its colour. Strawberries are a total loss. Peas and corn at present are good, but need rain in the next few days to save them.- Root crops are fair but growth re- tarded. Pasture lands are extremely bad and milk production will be cut 50 in the next two weeks. Mr. Clarence Carter of Scugog Is- land reports hay very poor and almost a total loss, and grain may be saved if rain falls immediately. Pasture lands very poor, which will reduce milk' production 50%. Peas that are in pod are burning, later peas may be saved. The growth of corn is very slow and the yield may be very small. We need rain and more rain, and even though we get it now, it won't cgopair the already heavy logses which E11 been afflicted on the farmers. ve 1 that have already run into millions of lars, iA do people realize the serious- 'ness of this present condition which is iling over us. The reduction of al crops, means higher prices for the consumers, and a loss to the pro- ducer, and much. less to "export to countries badly in need of food. ; Sunday, June 12th, prayers were offered in most Ontario churches for rain. 'May the prayers offered on this day be answered. : ~ 50-50 Club Picnic It 'was a perfect evening, when we héld our weiner roast at Stephenson's Point last Friday, and though it was still daylight when we arrived as it grew dark, the full moon came up shedding a lovely radiance over every- thing. 'Timber' shouted Charlie Harvey, as he chopped some wood and in no time we had a huge fire going, and a pot put on for the weiners. Down to the beach to see if the water was warm enough for a swim, but we decided it was not. Had it been Sunday or since we would not even tested the water; we'd have been right in. : Frank Godley organized a ball game while we waited for the 'eats' to cook, and shortly after. members of the Alpha Club who had been invited, but had been playing a ball game in Port Perry, started to arrive so it was a party of over fifty, who finally sat around the fire, and boy! were we glad we had enough. to feed this hungry crowd, we had had our doubts. There must always bé sing-song at gatherings like this and ours was no exception, A game of charades to liven things up. Though Billy Taylor and Ray McNeilly of the Alpha Club one laughing, finally leading us round the fire in a 'conga' and had us doing the "hoky-coky", it-was fun! And 'then "Auld Lang Syne" and we all started for home, and I for one, de- cided that whoever had though up the idea of weiner roasts must have been a pretty sensible person. } Thanks should go to Charlie and Pat Harvey, Jack and Edna Starkey, all of the 50-60 Club, for the hard work they did to organize and make a success of the evening, and it was certainly grand to see so many Alpha members along, as well. | RECITAL i On Thursday, June 23rd, at 8.16 p.m., in the United Church, the piano upils of Mrs. J, E.

K. Syer, capably assisted by Mr. H. Rose.
