Nothing could be farther from the truth. As -the British philosopher Bertrand Russell puts it,+"The fight for freedom is not to be won by AH more change in oui economic system. . It is to be won only by a constant re- sistance to the tyranny of officials . . .To suppose, that irresponsible power, just because it is called Socialist or Communist,-will be freed miraculously from the bad qualities of all arbitrary, power in the past, is mere elitldish "nursery psychology." The real danger of socialism, or communism, or fascism, or even state welfarism, lies not in the particular economic system which each espouses, but rather in' the growing power of officialdom and the arbitrary exercise of authority common to all four. Canadians who value freedom should not be misled by party labels.. Ra- ther let them examine the extent to which proposals of politicians, regard- less of party, require for their imple- mentation more laws, more regula- tions, more curbs on individual con- duct, and nore official 'power. Thus alone can any encroachment. upon freedom be recognized and' halted. --=The Printed Word. CAR - WILL STOUFFVILLE'BE LAST? Will Stouffville be the last munigi- pality in this area to make some move towards a sewerage system so hadly- needed ?- Our neighbors to the north in Uxbridge installed a system several years ago. Richmond Hill has com- pleted its sewers, Markham has ta- ken a survey. Bolton, a smaller. mu- niéipality than our town, is presently letting a contract for sewers' to cost between $200,000 and $300,000. Councillor Win Timbers and Coun- cillor Milt. Burk came out strongly at the last town' council meeting in favor of having a survey taken in Stouffville and takexn in time to allow a vote on the question af this year's "municipal election. Thousands of dollars are pint an- nually here in the construction of sep= tie tanks and tile begs. Much of our land is becoming saturated as a res sult of such systems, This spending could come to an end" if sewers were installed. * ote We know that several councillors "have in mind the beginning of perma- ment paved roads in town. It would be well to have the sewer job com- pleted before too many Such expen- sive roadways are laid only to be torn | sive the people an' opportunity RAISE TIA thing so sorely needed in Stouffville. ~In the light of all these factors and others, council would do well to "con- sider the question at an carly date and of voicing their opinion at the polls, --Stouffville Tribune.

JUST EF CIENCY IS INCREASED BY RADIO SYSTEM - MARKHAM--The purchase of two new police cars and the dnstallation of two-way radios has inereaged the efficiency of the Markham Township the municipalities' 10,000 residents. The radios which were installed re- cently at a cost of $3,166 enable police to keep in touch with their Button- ville headquarters from every corner of the municipality. From car to car, the radios have a ten mile range, "Chief Constable Clarence Wideman pointed out that the Buttonville office was proving to be the ideal location up again, A sewage system would prove a ig "inning industry, gome- factor in for clear radio reception.

W. MacKenzie. To aid the many tourists who stop off en route. through the village, a large map 'some 20 feet long and 534 feet, high kas been drawn on the wall which embraces the entire Kawartha Lakes tourist area, and reaches from Leeds County in the east to. Hanover in Grey County in the west, and from Laké Ontario to Georgian Bay. All main highways and secondary roads are listed. All main cities, towns and many scores of villages appear as well as rivers, creeks and lakes. [It took Bill MacKenzie, son of the proprietor assisted by Ross Hyland some 72 hrs. of actual time in the creation of this huge map. --Central Préss Canadian Princess Margaret wears a new hat that immediately became -a "fashion item" as she: auto- graphed a brick to be used in the construction of the Guild- ford; Eng., cathedral, The corner- stone for the church was laid iri 1936,. but war interrupted work on one section: As for the cha yeau, it's a sailor-type with white rim. ' of Many Things : Hs Hills USE OF YOURSELF -. 4 S The weathér was bad' this morning so 1 came to work by streetear. I was amazed at the way men and women slump in their seats, and twist them- selves into all sorts of ungraceful po- sitions. It reminded me of a rhyme we used to hear at school: A crossed-legged 'woman, like a crossed-legged-cat, It just ain't nat-ter-al, and that, . is that. ; It always amazes me that this country is so ready to vote millions and millions of dollars for National Health and Welfave, while so few people are willing to do the slightest thing to improve their own personal health, As I have said so often, gov- ernments carmot breathe for you, eat for you, and now 1 add 'this: govern- ments cannot walk, stand, or sit for you. Thousands of people are ruining their health by confusing relaxation They slump in their their legs, they with collapsing, chairs, they: cross "hunch themselves up in every possible way. No wonder this is the genera- tion of the slipped dize, the flat feet, and the curved spine, I Surely we have enough: gumption to make the proper use of our own bodies! If you are not making proper use: of your body, 1 would strongly recom- |. mend that you get a copy of Louise Morgans book, "Inside Yourself". It contains a forword by Aldous Huxley. It is a simple explanation of the Alex- ander technique for standing, sitting and "walking, and breathing. As I recall it it costs only a-couple of dol- lars; and in my opinion it will do you a lot more good than the hundreds of dollars you pay to the government every year for national health." Only one thing wrong with it it will re- quire a little bit of concentration and work by you. But after all, you do your "own breathing anyway, don't you? UTICA .

Roach and family over the weekend, by =: Drs Series Article Three * w ., We are living in a keen competitive age and an era of high pressure sell- ing and advertising, A week, or even a day, seldom passes uny more without the virtues of some product, -some individual or some institution being- forcefully ex- tolled. The ingenuity, imagination and resourcefulness of advertising re- presentatives, publicity men, and press agents, seem to mow no bounds or limits, Competitive TIER and s8lling 'have developed almost to the extreme that soon we may have a "Be Kind to Bald-headed men Week", a "Put More Mustard on Your Hotdog Week" or even a "Introduce Your Cat to Your Canary Week", Some of the numerous and, diversi- fied "days" and "weeks" which we ob- serve at presént have little or no per- sonal significance to us, Many are designed and promoted merely as a pe upon which to hang some publicity and*advertising, and to stimulate sales. There ave others, like "Thanksgiving Day", with a real and worthwhile significafee. Te 1 ) ~ On this continent hospitals have their own special day. [for many years it has been observed on Muy 12, although in my humble opinion, we should not leave it Co Hospital Day to remember the hospitals, ' May 12th was selected as National Hospital Day because it is the anni- versary of the birthday of Florence Nightingale, often referred to us the "mother of modern nursing", Born. in the year 1820, Florence Nightingale, after overcoming ob- stacles, succeeded in her campaign for improved. methods of caring for the wounded and the sick during the Cri- ' . . HARVEY AGNEW, M.D. ; ONTARIO HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION selfesacrifice, Her steuggles, difficylties and hardships. mean campaign, . are" well-nknown. of kindness and charity still serve as an inspiration to millions of nurses and other hospital personnel around the world, National Hospital Day, May 12th each year, commemorates the memory of this great pioneer leader, It af- fords, at the same time, an excellent apportunity for the residents of any community to learn about and to un- derstand the great work and the many services being rendered by their oe al hospitals, This year, as National Hospital Day falls on a Thursday, many, hospitals thronghout Ontario will observe the occasion on the Sunday preceding -- May 8. who can ill afford -the time during a weekday, will 'have an opportunity to attend "open house' at their hospital, or to participate in other services or ceremonies arranged as part of a Na- tional Hospital Day programme, It is unfortunate that the much advertised Mother's Day should have been de- veloped for the same Sunday and' week. I do believe that hospitals need and are worthy of both the moral and ac- tive support of the people they serve, Their every energy is bent toward pro- viding the best possible health service for their respective communities. réturn they ask a sympathetic under- standing, 'by the people, of their many and complex problems. National Hos- pital Day is an ideal opportunity for you to show an interest in, and learn more about, your local hospital. One of these days it may well become, to vou, the most urgently needed building in the entire world. Blackstock (Too late for last week) I"'or the first time in six years, we regret that the members of the Go A. hranch of St. John's Church were un- able to attend the GA, Conference in Toronto, owing to lack of- sufficient transportation. [It was, however, some consolation to the girls to be awarded their Doreas Badges, with honours, and the Mission Study Badges. Two members, through illness, failed ta complete the Mission Study pro- gram. We con®ratulate the girls upon their success, and also the G.A. Branch of St. Paul's, Lindsay, upon their suc- cessful achievements in winning the Diocesan Challenge Cup. St. John's Parish Hall was the scene also of a very. happy and lively gathering on St. George's Day, when the family of Mr. and Mrs, George Saunders met together for an evening of music and fun. Some 60 members of Mr. Saun- ders' family were present. The tables were tastefully decorated, and well loaded. The Members, of "the Girls' Auxiliary waited on the tables, and were commended for. their smart ap- pearance and effective efficiency. Rev. George ang Mrs, Nicholson were away in Orillia last Tuesday. Mrs. Nicholson, as officer for Dean- eries in the Toronto Dioceses address- ed an afternoon meeting of the W.A. in St. 'Athanasius Church, and in the evening Mr. Nicholson showed their Iinglish Slides at St. James Church to the combined W.
