"The Canadian Government is coming to grips with. some fundamental problems, "One of these is the problem of what to do with the Avro Arrow, the CF-105, which has already cost the taxpayers some two hundred millions of dollars and which pro- mises to exceed an expenditure of some two billion before our squadrons will be fully equipped with them some two years from now. The question the government must find an answer to is whether or not such a huge sum is justified for this par- ticular piece of defensive armament. There is already considerable evidence to suggest that by the time this plane is in production it will be outmodeled if not ob- solete. How then could any government Justify the huge outlay of 'money it en- tails? But if the government is not .to proceed with its contract with Avro what happens to thé thousands of workers who And further what sort of compensation will have to be paid the Company for its capital expenditure? It is easy now to see that the Liberals - should not have committed the govern- ment in the first place but of course this does not go far to solve the problem now. Spilt milk is spilt milk no matter how you op the accident that was responsible or it. ' , - Surely, the government cannot do less The Ambitious Student "The school doors have been open for the past three weeks and during that time the students have been adjusting them- selves. to the unfamiliar pattern of school life--made unfamiliar by the enforced holi- day of two months away from school. Parents and teachers are always heart- ened, at the very. beginning of the school - year, by what appears to be a newly dis- covered ambition in their adolescents and students. Ambition "is such a wonderful thing. Although it was Shakespeare wasn't it who suggested that it was the sin of which the angels fell. But to par- ents and teachers, always hopeful, the am- bition of the young is no sin. It is rather some wonderful growth to be cherished and nourished into fulness of life. \ 2 IY 2 Alas, all too fleeting is it with some of our students. The zest with which they tackled the first few assignments begins to flag. The keen interest which they took in the early expositions of the class- room has found a new object. Parents nag ahd the teachers scolds and punishes, but the results are too often quite heart-rend- ing. There is no reviving the dead. "Now: there's a problem! How to instil Ld - folly. Notes and Comments Getting Down fo Cases gy ~ than make some provision for both the company and the workers who would be involved in the decision not to proceed further with the Arrow. However, it is high time. the Canadian Government took a good look at defense spending. There is very great evidence to show that our procedure with regard to de- fense spending is backward and bankrupt. To attempt to build up a war machine cal- culated to hold in check the Communists throughout the"world seems the height of We need some forward thinking plaimers who" can find better and more effective ways -of dealing with the Com- munists than those who supply expensive war material which is out of date even as it is produced. Canada is a very small nation. It has not the wealth nor the man power to throw away inthis manner. The national "debt and taxes must soar if we continue to pour money into such armaments. Al- regdy the United States has felt one de- pression which some suggest is directly traceable to the misdirection of public funds in defense spending. . It seems that the military mind supported by Dullesian diplomacy is determined to solve the pro- blems of -a revolutionary world by the use of force and atomic energy. This seems not only financially disastrous but also foolish beyond the point of folly, ambition when ambition will still count. Perhaps, the answer lies in a more inter- esting presentation by the teacher; perhaps it lies in the teacher "being very sincere and enthusiastic about what he teaches. Perhaps, like late- ness and lack of punctuality, the answer lies with the parents. Perhaps the home lacks direction and goals. Pos- sibly .it stands for nothing more than achieving the comfortable vegetable exist- ence summed up in the idea of eat, drink, sleep. and above all else avoid an urge to think. Perhaps, the answer lies not with the adults but with the students themselves. It is possible that there is something in their genes which excuses all and explains all--even the lack of ambition. Whatever it is rest assured that the student without ambition is like the mili- | ede without legs, rapidly going nowhere. [For without ambition Dream after dream ensues, And still they dream that they shall still succeed, And still are disappointed, P ing. Coroner was Dr. J. 0.

The new'proposal would give Mark- ham a complete sewerage system and disposal plant and allow the developer to proceed with large-scale building of a thousand homes and new commercial buildings. In return, Markham would give up their collection of a per lot fee and other concessions.

The biggest event in the coming season for Ray will be his solo recital in Carnegie Hall, New York, on Oct. 8. This is his second engagement in New York's famous concert hall.

PROTECTING 180,000 JOBS Announcement: of the formation of the Canadian Apparel and Textile Manufacturers 'Association is good news for the 180,000 Canadians who look to these industries for their em- ployment and livelihood. The purpose of the newly-formed CATMA is to keep a close watch upon the effects upon employment in Can- ada of the mounting flow of imported clothing, footwear, textiles and other products of Japanese origin. Present Canadian trade policy provides virt- ualy no protection for workers in these and other industries whose jobs are threatened by imports from Japan 'J wroduced by Japanese labor at wages about one-tenth of prevailing Cana- dian wage levels. No one quarrels with the proposi- tion that Canadian-Japanese trade is a good thing for both countries. Un- fortunately, as things now stand it is a good thing mainly for Japan. Cer- tainly. the so-called voluntary quotas imposed by Japan on their own ex- ports, are wholly inadequate to pre- vent widespread distress in Canada's textile and apparel industries. In- deed, there is evidence to suggest that Jupan's voluntary quotas actually dis- criminate against Canada, and that Japanese imports command a far higher percentage of the domestic market in this country than they do in the U.S. market. Every Canadian has an interest in protecting the jobs of this country's workers from unfair competition from low-wage countries, That is why the formation of the Canadian Apparel & Textile Manufacturers Association is timely and welcome. --~Canadian Statesman SPENDING THE PEOPLE'S MONEY One of the most distrubing features of our modern democracties is the rate at which government expenditures are increasing, and the cheerful indif- ference of the people to the effect such spending is sure to have on their future, says a recent editorial in the Rural Scene. In Canada, our governments are spending one-third of the national in- come, and every government in the country is clamouring for a larger share of the tax dollar. What is the reason for this? Why are our governments spending mil- lions where they used to spend thou- sands, and billions where they used to spend millions ? | The answer is that they are spend- i ing more of the people's earnings be- {cause they know they can get away with it; and because the more of it they control the more power they have over the people. So the principal occupation of our governments, and of those who would become our governments, is to think up new ways of spending the people's money y. This is the advice given by Sidney rons. wish to bring.

IF ANY MORE FIGHTING Following last Saturday night's fracas at the Claremont Community Hall, the Park Board, who operate the hall, and lease out for dances, have stated that if there is any re- currence of last week's demonstra- tion, the building will be closed to public dances. ) The Board and community are quite upset about the fight which involved one drunken teen-ager. They claim dances have been held there each Sat- urday night since' last apfing without any trouble. Mr. Eddie Ortiz, Board Member, told the News this week, that from now on, a police officer will be sta- tioned at the door to prohibit entry of any objectionable or undesirable persons. Residents have been complaining about 'heer bottles found on their lawns, and the racket of noisy cars, racing up and down-the streets, FORMER REEVE IS NOMINATED PC CANDIDATE } William Newman, 30, a farmer and former reeve of Pickering Township, was named Progressive Conservative provincial candidate for the Oshawa riding at the meeting of -the Oshawa Riding Progressive Conservative As- sociation héld in: Whitby last Friday T.

Professor Kemp of Claremont Col- lege, California, says: "There is liter- ally no end to the number of socially desirable projects thtat governments can dream up to spened the people's money. "Each of these can be dressed up in the most fetching garments and sur- rounded by such an aura of righteous- ness that opposition .to it can be made to resemble attacking one's sister or setting fire to the old homestead." The people fall for these projects re- gardless of costs or of how such costs are to be paid. All they are interest- ed in is the initial payment that com- mits them to the rest, When the government of Ontario told the people that its Hospital Plan would cost them only $4.20 a month per family, it told them only one- third of the truth. Its own estimate of the CoS fgvas three times that much, and the actual cost will probably be many times as much. The people don't resent this decep- tion; they seem to like it because it gives them the feeling that they are getting something at bargain prices. As Barnum said: "The people like to be fooled." - Governments get away with this kind of deception by concealing the true costs and by concealing the tax- ation by which they are paid. Most of the welfare payments and subsidies that are costing the country so much are beyond the control of the governments that pay them. They are stipulated in the legislation and can't be reduced or repealed without legislative action. And no govern- ment is likely to risk its popularity by repealing or reducing such payments. 0f Many Things | by Ambrose Hills FARMERS One good thing about stubble shoot- ing--you get to talk with a lot of farmers. Over the past few weeks, I've dropped in at several farms to ask permission to hide out in their stubble to shoot ducks. I have never yet been refused; and on at least three ocea- sions, the farmer has joined my son and me for the evening shoot. Usual- p44 W notch ahead of their city cousins as conversationalists. This is particular- ly true when they are at home on their own fields where they have ready-to- hand, illustrations with. which to make a point or illustrate an argument. Argument these days, 1 find, are likely to be about contract farming, vertical integration, compulsory mar- keting schemes, deficiency payments, farm organization, spiralling costs, or you name it, I usually name it, and the farmer takes over from there, and that's how I learn something of how farmers think, as individuals. I asked one farmer, "What's all this talk about vertical integration? Is it good or bad?" He gave me as straight an answer as I expect I'll ever hear. He said, "My grandfather practiced vertical integration on this farm when he ran it. He grew his feed, fed his hogs, butchered them, cured bacon, consum- ed it... that's vertical integration. He did it because that was the way to do things in those days. Putting a fancy name on something, then say- ing it's bad if the ¢anners do it and good if we do it ourselves isn't sense. On some farms I think it is the right way to do things . . . the way to solve the problem of that farm. On my farm, no. In my judgment I'll do bet- ter being more flexible.

Utica Mr. and Mrs. Prizeman of Toronto a question of freedom. It's a question of judgment, and the particular kind of farm or farmer. You can't make good judgments about all farms in one swoop." Another farmer said to me, "What farmers need is more bank credit . . they need to learn how to get it. | get it. 1 have the banker out here and show him the farm. I get the wife to give him dinner. 1 tell him my plans; and | get my credit. Too many farmers troop into town and 'the story they tell wouldn't get you a nickle from a rich uncle. Financing is a job and farmers have got to learn how to do it. Bankers are hu- man beings, strange as that may seem!" 7' Another said, "1 wish people would quit talking about farmers' problems so much. Solve your own. What's killing us is your problems--strikes, and strike threats, jumping.

In spite of a dull drizzle most of the day, Sunday was a day of inspiration for us. Prospect Church was filled in the morning when Rev. Horace Burke- holder preached. The church was beautifully decorated, and the chimney repapered. The old box-stove has disappeared now that we have a new oil furnace. The vocal trio consisted of Mrs, Percy Fletcher and two other ladies from Oshawa, sang "How Love- ly are Thy dwellings", and "Beautiful Garden of Prayer". Both numbers were very much enjoyed. We had a fair congregation in the evening. The message was based on Hannah's pray- er for a son, that if God granted her a man-child, she "Would give him to the Lord all the days of his life." The question was asked, "How do we give ourselves to the Lord all the days of our lives?" To which there were three suggestions. First by aligning our- selves with the plans and purposes of God. Second by setting our sights and stapdards very high; and third by pouring in all the love that we have. Dr. Kenneth Braham sang "The Holy City", and "My Task". Roxy Webster our organist played for the morning service, and Joanne Mosienko for the evening, with Mrs. Braham accom- panying Kenneth. Mr, Young, a form- er pastor of Prospect, expressed the feelings of us all in his words of ap- preciation to all who helped in the Service, and especially to the preacher and then dismissed us with the Bene- diction. The service at the Island was well attended, too, and the text was taken from Proverbs 23:7--'"As he thinketh in his heart, so is he".
