If education. in the family and in: the school was able to incul- cate a sense of social responsibility. we wouldn't have to fight about the relative merits of either school or economy ; both of them could work and both of them could be used together. Let's take an example. Atlantic and' acific Chain Store system is a huge one. "All of us are well aware that the What few "people realize is that the entire chain is owned by three individuals. If each store in the entire chain made only one dollar a day, each of the owners would get for that day $24,000. . Now, it is utterly absurb for anyone to have such an income and there seems little justification for any system which permits three people to divide earnings of :$72,000 when their actual contribution to social wel- fare was perhaps limited to a friendly game of golf or a gesture to the employees who contribute to their.wealth. On the other 'hand we have the type of worker, who gets perhaps $40 a week for his services which are not worth that in terms of his. effort or abilty, nevertheless feels that he should have more "more not because he earns it, but Should have because he feels that he needs it. In the welfare state that is gradually. developing, one of the great evils will be that associated with irresponsible labour. If a man feels that he should get more money then it is obviously up to "him to do everything t&"get more money. is to earn. it. "The responsible method One of the basic causes of Inflation. is that we are paying for work that isn't done and for service that is not rendered. There are two. types of people who are thus milking our economy; are found at every level in our they economic system: they are dis- tinguishable by two things--Ilack of socially responsible behaviour in terms of work done and, secondly in their insistence upon their right to more and more. Until we clearly t 'ace this situation most of our economic pro- blems will remain unsolved. perpetuated. & Those whose income is out of all pro- 'portion and those who do not earn their wage must inevitably be SN a ry ek of the pe social- injustice AROUND THE WORLD re The soft -coal operators have finally succuntbed to the miners' insistence -that without a contract, there will be no work. It is doubtful if the issue will ever be raised again for this: fight wa an all-out one and both sides used all the intelligence, strategy. and. ~power-they could muster. Canada is to have rent controls through Federal legislation. It seems significant that the Supreme Court should have ruled in favour of controls just before a recent Gallop Poll showed that 56.

The girls played their 'semi-finals at noon- hour two days last week. Of the, ten teams in this house league, those captained by Helen x homas-and Mayrene James had top place after a four gamé schedule was completed. In their play-off con- test the Thomasites put forth a strong effort, especially in the second half, to come out on top 16-4, The teams of Doris DeNure and Betty Powell had tied for the third play-off spot and the deciding 'game was proof of the equality" of their strength, The 4-4 tie was finally broken by a free shot by captain De- Nure; desperate counter attacks by their less experienced, but no less hard working: opponents were in vain. The sudden death play-off game be- tween Thomas Co. and - DeNure Co. is - scheduled for activity period on Thursday.

Ts Coneybgare Ona cold, rainy, October morning in the year 1555; a bedraggled procession wound its way out of 'Oxford toward the outskirts of the town, Two old | men in chains 'stumbled along ing its midst. One Was Hugh Latimer, the other Nitholas Ridley. The procession halted at the EL side of the town in a ditch over against Balliol College. It formed into a ragged cirdle around a tall stake, driven into the gound and heaped around with faggots, Without any ceremony the two men were pulled forward in front of the stake. Ridley was seied first and tied to the stake, then Latimer, dressed only in a thin worn, shroud like garment with a kerchief on his head, was bound beside him. "A lighted faggot was placed at Ridley's feet and Latimer turning to him cried: "Be of good comfort Master Ridley. and play the man; we shall this-day light such candles in England as by God's grace shall never be put out." When Ridley felt the flames surging up around him he cried in 'a clear, strong voice, "Lord, Lord réceive my spirit." Latimer on the. other side ¢ried as loudly "0 Father of Heaven, receive my soul." Thus died Hugh Latimer, Bishop of Worchester, and prelate of the Church; a genuine Englishman, conscientious, courageous, a man of common-sense and practical, sprung from the labour- ing and independent class; the very heart and sinews of the ation; a plain speaking man who had the courage of his convictions and in his' lifetime did not hesitate . to rebuke vice and to . LS. speak plainly to kings and great nobles. Farly in his eareer he began to feol that the true word of God as revealed in the Holy Seriptpres should 'be the measure of the Church and he strong- ly deprecated the purely external ob- servances of religion that séemed to prevail at the time. ( instance, he held; were not to be com- pared with genuine acts of merey. of Worcester, he issued injunctions In 1535, when he was made Bishop ordering every priest in his diocese to obtain a Bible in English, and to in- struct the children of their. parishes to read Fnglish, He strongly resented foreign in- fluence in the. Church and preached with great power and vigour agsginst the abuses that existed. He was hon- est and sincere and was ever the champion of the poor. He had a tre- mendous influence in the English Re- formation but it was that of the prac- tical man rather than the theologian. The ponderous, weighty, often obscure theologidns of the continent of Europe would have had far less hails J the Reformation in England had it not been for men like Hugh Latimer who translated the whole spirit of the Re- formation to the common people; who provided them with inspiration and led them with courage 'and power. Soon after and the return of foreign domination of the Church during her reign, a warrant was issued for his. arrest. Ie was given six hours notice so that he might escape if he wished but he scorned such a éat and mouse pro- cedure, saying that he was not afraid to stand for his convictions because he was certain that he stood: for the truth. So he was arrested and brought to London where he was tried and con- victed of heresy. He was ordered to be burned and wag taken to Oxford where the sentence was carried out. Few men deserve better of their fel- lows in life and word than Latimer and few stand as a better example even for us in theze latter days, Pd GREENBANK The regular monthly meeting of the Woman's Association was held in the basement of the church on Tuesday ~|afternoon, February 28th; with about |- twenty-five in- attendance.
