" NESS AS SKATERS BRAWL The management 'of Unionville -|arena pulled the switch and plunged the rink into darkness on Saturday night in an effort to break up a brawl involving a dozen public skaters. The melee broke out when Nels Harper, L6th concession of Unionville was ac- costed by a group of Toronto skaters and ordered to leave the ice. Harper took exception to the order and the fight was on. Two of the unknown as- { saillants were knocked to the ice by Harper before order was finally re- stored. There were close to 800 skat- ers on the ice at the time of the inci- dent. ~-A RECOUNT ENDS TIE A tie vote for one seat on the East Whitby Township Council was broken __at the conclusion of a reconnt conduet- "ed by County Judge John E.

It is doubtful to-day, how- ever, if we can afford ourselves the luxury of being quite as independant as we have been in the past. average community we find that or- dinary men and women have within themselves the necessary resources to solve their common problems. Through lack of leadership these resources are often not organized to do the best job in their own interests. A realization of this lack of leader- ship within the communities has-led to the formation of rural leadership forums. Various farm organizations and Departments of Government are co-operating to make these forums available.

They established gov- ernment machinery for setting dis- putes quickly when the process of col- lective bargaining seemed too slow, Management soon learned that -it had more to fear from governments than from the unigns; and that gov- ernments were more afraid of the unions than of the consuming public. The upshot of this kind of concilia- tion was that management no longer stood between labour and the con- sumers but was made to stand in a corner like a bad boy, while the éthers decided what to do with it. Thus management has been cowed til it sees no reason why it should '| fight to keep: prices down when the people's own government supports those who would force them up. There is practically no resistance today to labor's recurring demands for a larger and larger share of the na- tions output. And have we industrial peace? Far from it. Strikes today are aimed at the general | public, for the unions have learned that making the public suffer is the quickest way to bring the gov- ernment into a dispute. Who speaks for the consumers now ? --Canadian Statesman. A 15c. SUBSIDY. The dairying industry has broken oui new spot. According to news dis cs, they are considering a re- q ... .u the government to place an excise tax of 16¢c. a lb. on margarine. It never seems to occur to the dairy industry that there is a lot of truth in the saying that every knock is a boost. their attitude has been one 'of fear. By their demands for prohibitory and restrictive legislation they have per- sistently advertised their lack of con- fidence in their own products. Human nature being what it is, pro- hibitory measures do not make for popularity of those responsible. The butter producers would be better ad- | vised to spend their energies in build- ing up their own business rather than tearing down the other fellow's. Pro- paganda designed to convince the public that butter at its present price tutes would be more likely to attain the desired results than demands for repressive measures against the cheap- er product. The record of butter sales do not indicate that the business is materially suffering. --Stouffville Tribune, LET'S ANALYSE THE PREDICTION Whoever it was who first said "the --we have been hearing so many others both within and from beyond that we are all beginning to believe that it may well be so. If one stops to analise the basis for this kind of statement it usually means "this century is Canada's because Can- ada has great natural resources" such as oil, iron, aluminum, and the like, If that is all the statement means it would be well tobe clear about it in our thinking and to reaffirm that a country is only rich if it is rich in the kind of men which live in it. In a word, the twentieth century is Canada's, if Canada proves to be that countyy wherein one finds the most of the i man beings. Men of sound judgment and striet morals, men of independent mind, men of vi- sion, men who have a proper sense of the trie dignity and worth of them- selves and their fellows, uncommon men of whom it might be said, as it was said of some of this breed, "they look for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God." Potentially, Canada has a present and a future second to none--if we aré the kind of men that make it so. ~ Canadian Statesman, Our idea of an ironic death: burned to death by falling asleep while smoking and reading a fire prevention booklet. - " It was not the official representative ' of the latter; but it was responsible for | Ever since the butter subati-] tute came in the market in _Canada,|B twentieth century belongs to Canada" | our borders say the same thing of late, | A man It's a wide and wonderful world. Vivian Yaneda (right), a 22-year- old Japanese-Canadian girl from Victoria and Regina, looks at the globe and dreams of the places she will see as a TCA stewardess in the near future. Miss Yoneda, shown here with Miss Kay Avery; stewardess instructress, starts to fly as a stewardess on Montreal- Halifax run. One of the only two Japanese-Canadian girls to become TCA stewardesses, Miss Yoneda hopes some day to fly to the home- land of "her people "for a visit"-- but I want to make my life in Canada." Although the pre-election campaign- ing in Pickering Township failed to create much stir among the ratepayers rumors have since been flying thick and fast that another election may be called. Charges and counter charges have been made by some of the can- didates with regard to improper pro- | cedure concerning the rules and regu- lations in the operation of the election. These rumours are as yet without con- firmation. Those who attended the nomination meeting and were present at the municipal building on election night could see that feelings' were strained between several of the can- didates.
