Department, Ottawa. BNET RENE IRE Published by Naked ls A 5 i REY Sh NES A EF] ¢ "A PERSPECTIVE To-day we are very busy indeed in defend-' ~ ing our way of life,. We feel .and rightly -feel that it is challenged by the ruthless, dictatorial gangsterism of modérn Russia. We are so sure of our way of life that it is ~~ 'seldom we look at it from an objective or critical point of view.. Occasionally, some one does it for us and speaks out boldly so. that we may see the truth. : Dr. W. H. Anderson, a doctor of the Southern Medical Association says: * Americans spent 20 billions a year on, gambling; 17 billions on liquor and beer; twelve billions on tobacco and 8 billions on cosmeticg-->5 billions on education, a little over 4 billions on doctors, hospitals and dentists; only 1 billion on churches. So gambling in America is twenty times: more significant than the churches; liquor 2 and beer are more than three times as im- portant as education ; cosmetics just double the value we put on health. . ¥ They encourage the idea that taxes are too high; that education costs too much; ~------------that-churches-are-always--after money; that doctors and dentists make far too much money . . that hospitals are dread- fully costly. The truth of the matter is that all these - put' together don't begin. to equal the amount of money that is gambled away .. every year, nor do they even equal the amount of money we consume in intoxi- "cants . . . . IE It is quite clear why we feel that theréd: is room for misunderstanding by those: 'other peoples of the world who haven't.: billions to throw away . . on gambling, drink and other luxuries , .- They haven't even food for one good meal a day. They look at our way of life with a little differ- - ent kind of perspective. : i ---- T-- - og ea: RSE = , rine h Sk : nr ¥ : % . re . Y .

The authority of 'his periodic re- ports is beyond dispute and the present one, like its forerunners, cannot be con- tradicted. ? a In 1936 Mr. Rowntree established a very strictly defined poverty line ayd showed that two people out of eleven were below it. 3) He now shows that the figure today is two rout-of 118, This clearly demonstrates what the Welfare State has meant to the people of York -- a typical large town of 100,000--it has meant a reduction in the . number of- the poverty-stricken from 149, - 186 to 1,746; from 18% to 1.7%. Ten _ times the number of people lived in poverty "before "the advent of the Welfare State than do so today. Even these figures do not give full justice to the actual improve- ment, for even those who are still below the poverty-line are not so far below it as their unforfunate predecessors of 1936, In short, 907 of the poverty has been completely wiped out and the remaining 10% considerably alleviated. The Times of London, a newspaper known all over the world for its indepen- dent views, recently said that the Labour SCUGOG CHAPTER 1.0.D.E, Seugog Chapter 1.0.D.E. members and friends gathered at the rooms of the Library for their regular meeting on Monday Evening Nov. 5th at,8 p.m. We had as our 'guests Mrs. Jenkin and her assistants of Leamington Flowers,*Oshawa, who were putting on a demonstration of arranging flowers. Our Regent, Mrs. M. B. Dymond, was in charge of the mecting and hur- ridly ran through the business so that as much time as possible could be giv- en over to our guests. The meeting after which the prayer of the Order was repeated. Mrs F. W. Brock read the minutes .of the previous meeting and business arising from the min- utes was dealt with, It was decided to go ahead and br- der the furniture to furnish a room at the Port Perry Memorial Hospital.

Labour policy "since 1945 has helped a great many people tola healthier and fuller life." The case of York is factual confirmation of this opinion and goes a long way towards explaining why Mr. Atlee's support as regards the popular vote in the recent election not only remained solid; but actually inereased de- spite the Tory gains in seats. - But this report does something more: it exposes by implication a complete lack of foundation for the views advanced by a - small, but vociferous, section of the upper and middle classes who wrengly assume that the petty restrictions on their own way of life mean that the people of Britain are worse off than they were. The facts brought out in this survey should give us all much food for thought + It is not difficult to see why: '.e not orily in the next few weeks, but in the years ahead. _. oe Wedding TENNANT - GINN ~~ "A quiet wedding took place in Or- ono, Saturday, of Dorothy Irene Ginn, "only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Har-| -- vey Ginn, Bethany, to Glen William' 'I'ennant, son of Mr, and Mrs. Arthur Tennant, Leskard.

The 19561-1952 edition of the Port Perry Lions Basketball Club rolls into action against the Oshawa Grads on Wednesday evening, November 21, at the Port Perry High School. This year's team, sponsored by the Port Perry Lions Club, is entered in the Oshawa and District Basketball Lea- gue, and is affiliated with the Ontario Basketball Association. This means that the winner has the right to ad- vance into the Ontario playdowns and thence on into the Dominion playoffs. The league is comprised of 6 teams, three representing Oshawa and. ohe each from Whitby, Ajax, and Port Perry. : 0 : The opening game against Oshawa Grads, winners last year in this sec- tion, should prove an interesting one. In an exhibition game earlier this sea- son, a much taller Grads team was ex- tended in besting the Port Perry lads 69-66, This gives an indication that our boys will be in contesting for the championship right down to the last game, : Hotes The team is comprised of local boys with a sprinkling:-of unfamiliar faces, The coach is Andy Anderson, a fairly new arrival in Port Perry. Andy also plays, but his services have been lost for some time due to a shoulder.sepa- ration, He will however, continue with his coaching duties. This year's They will live in Blackstock, captain is Jack Russell, a Hamilton | Oshawa Grads, the local boys showed lots of scoring punch and will prove to be a fighting team. The Port Perry, High School team was the next victim of the Lions, The victory was coxt- ly however as they lost the services of their high scoring forward Andy Anderson. The very next night in Whitby, the local boys were trounced rather badly, having played two games in two nights, Pop yes With the team in an organized league this year it is felt that the townspeople will support the club, How about giving the boys a lift and .come to the High School on November 21st at 8 p.m and cheer them on to victory, 4 i Basketball Schedule Nov. 21--Oshawa Grads at Port Perry Nov, 27--Port Perry at Ajax Dec. b--Ajax at Port Perry Dec. 10--Port Perry at Oshawa Grads Dec, 19--Oshawa Irish at Port Perry Jan, 9---Port Perry at Oshawa Irish Jan, 21--Port Perry at Oshawa Rovers Jan, 28--0shawa Rovers at Port Perry Jan, 81--Whitby at Port Perry Feb. 6--Port Perry at Whitby All games will be at 8 p.m. and her assistants who very capably demonstrated their skill making up floral displays which were suitable for table decoration, novelty pieces suitable for small gifts to someone who was ill or a birthday gift. It was interesting watching a few. mums a bit of tulle, a rose or two and a few loops of ribbon work up into a beaut- iful creation for my lady to carry when dressed up and going 'out for the evening, The corsages were also quickly made and quite attractive, After the demonstration had been completed, a draw was made for the different pieces which had been made up. Mrs. Dymond passed slips of paper around but the slips did not all carry a number so if you had a number you were among the fortunate. Those who won the displays were Mrs. George Holmes, Christmas table centre, Mrs. Swabey table centre suit- able for child's party, Mrs. A. P. In- gram, Santa Claus container and flow- ers; Mrs. F. W.

Vs BOY SCOUTS The Annual Public General Meet- ing will be held at the.High School on Wednesday, Nov. 21st. at 8.46 p.m. The reason for the late hour is that Mr. Atkinson, Field .

"Then everyone went to their corners to discuss what articles they would j collect for their Christmas bags for sick children, uty Captain -Godley called us to-gether to give us instructions about the Re- membrance Day service and parade, Following this, different groups were assigned and the girls: went to their places to learn the new topics.

Seniors, Mar- ian Kight, Vera Howsam, Kay Aldred. Remembrance Day Banquet = . Pres, Reg. Moorehead, Canadian Le- gion Post, opened the meeting with a prayer for. our fallen comrades, fol- lowed by two 'minutes silence. He called upon Dr, Dythond to introduce the speaker---Rev, Henry 8. Swabey, Rector of the Church of the Ascension. Mr. Swabey gave some details of the present scale of rations in Britain, and noted "the many shortages still prevalent twelve years after the out- break of war. But on the other hand, he said, some prices were still con- siderably lower in Britain. And the fact that the average wage there was about twenty dollars a week made the devaluation question very puzz- ling. } - It was good, he added, to see on board ship and in Canada some of the products for which Britain was fam- ous. He considered that Britain 'still had 4 lot to show the world in the matter of skill or know how, and won- dered why an exchange could not be arranged of some 'of this skill for some of the vast resources of Canada. Real peverty in Britain now existed among pensioners and retired people, and there was a great change in the loss of the independent income group, and in the Narge growth of a bureau- cratic class. Y-- + He quoted the legal i Black- stone's saying on the Liberties of Britain, that they. constituted the "Best birthright and noblest * inheri- tance of mankind", and noted that, there were now 62 WAYS in_ getting a man off his own property! He hoped that Britons would not be el- bowed out'of their great heritage, Bri- ton's recovery had béen "hampered First by devaluation and then by the trouble over oil. "He was however sure that the great British racé could rise again, and de- monstrate their respect' for the indi vidual and for decency and their hat- ted of tyranny. It had been suggest- ed that 'the people of Britain should | Good sportsmanship was shown in these games and the scores were close. | (A game -of "touch" rugby was | i played at Uxbridge. It was a good game with Uxbridge the winners, Old man winter is here for sure. Whether'ihe will remain or not, who ean tell 7 Let's hope not. The students appreciate the hot noon lunches in this cold weather, which started on Nov. H A new idea is being carried out by the Dramatic Class which was sug- gested by Miss Neal, the director. "They have organized a Dramatic Soe- icty consisting of a president, vice- president, secretary, treasurer, pub- licity and literary representative. The officers and the society name have not yet been chosen. Watch for plays put on by this society. Until next time keep eyes and ears open for flaghes from P. P. H, 8, Cr -- -- -- REMEMBRANCE DAY SERVICE <A Service was held in Community Hall. Blackstock oy Sunday, Nov. 11, at 10.30 p.m. The Hall being fairly wéll filled. Rev. Geo. Nicholson con- ducted the devotional part and Rev. P. Bowles delivered the address which was very appropriate for the occassion. : i At the Cenotaph, Reeve Henslip read the names of those who paid the 1 supreme sacrifice in the Two World | Wars and Mrs. Malcolm Emerson, mother of the late Flight-Lt. Ralph Emerson laid the wreath, There was Two minutes of Silence and the Bene- diction was pronounced by Rev. Dr. R. P. Bowles. This meant that Canada was in a key position in the Commonwealth, for !'she had the food, the space and he was sure the spirit to meet the many | dangers to the British heritage. President Moorehead thanked thy speaker for a very informative ad: dress. The banquet provided by the "Del" Restaurant proved to be an excellent" repast. Following the program the diners sang old army songs to. the accomp- animent of Arnold Roach. ----- Open Letter AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF PORT PERRY A few weeks ago we the Gitizen's League of Port Perry approached the ! School Board about getting the High School Gymnasium for a Public -meet- ing at which the Mayor of Orillia was to be the guest speaker, but were refused the right to use it. Now we have a Provincial Election coming up and_one. of the political parties- has been granted the right to use it. Now it scems the people of Port Perry pay taxes so as outsiders can have the privileges of our town. I would say it is about time we woke up and de- move from the hub (Britain) to the circumference of the Commonwealth. i Dr. AT.
