RH A I od Y . & fHEE EH a Fle tA EE LCA TL THE STAR EDITORIAL \ PAGE EM TaN A 2 He rm 3a Thursday, February 28rd, 1961 tr a ae gs ® 5 Rar == Notes and Comments A Public Accounting Justice Minister Davie Fulton has just introduced a bill which will make avail. able to the government and the. public the financial story behind many foreign owned firms and foreign-led unions: 2 The new measure will make it necessary for firms and unions to give the details of their operation. how much they earned, who: their direc- tors are and what. they. ave paid is to be- ~ come public' information. The auto-worker, steelworkers, mine- workers will be required to tell what dues. they collect, what benefits. they pay, list. salaries; and expenses and. to; whom they are: paid. . The purpose of' the new bill is to deter- mine the degree of. foreign control; If the government learns: that this is excessive it could. pass other measures to curb such control. The Newspaper War The sensational news we are fed about' the Congo makes us feel that a wonld conflagration could break out momentarily and bring disaster to mankind. But the facts behind the Congo mess appear. to be less calamitous than the scare-head- lines would have us think. India along with other Asian: countries and backed by an African block are pre- pared to support the United Nations in the Congo with both troops and a reason- able plan of action: Our newspapers are jittery mediums of communication. Their sensitivity is hair- raising. Often they get us all worked up to far too great an extents The off shore How much they sold; . It is freély predicted that the bill will not be well reecived by either the coms panies nor the unions involved. The companies resent it because they, claim that. it will make public information which will affect their competitive status; the unions are going to object on the ground that this measure represents gov- ernment interference in labour. Tough penalties are included in the bill for failure to comply with the: govern- ment's order to produce the reports once a year. This new bill has much to commend it. It provides a first step towards a means ) of checking on unions which have earned an unhealthy reputation and it puts cer- tain large American firms in the position of having to do what Canadian firms must do... . publish their annual statement. all newsworthy topics exploited to the full, ~ tend to. give us a pretty bleak picture of the kind of world we inhabit. But the truth of the-matter is that things are not usually as bad as the reporters make them out to be. : Their .stock-in-trade is to capitalize: on the sensation of the moment." We do well not tolet them play too heavily on our feelings. In this world of almost instanteous communication we must get accustomed to having our nerves jangled a bit.

Our Board of Stewards for the Pas- toral Charge are schéduled to meet The receipts and expenses for the past year have been compiled, and the Board will check them, on that basis arrive at the estimates for this year. Some departments of the Church need. a little boosting, but the over-all pic- ture is good, as a substantial surplus is shown, The Minister will meet with the Stewards of the Manchester Church on Sunday after the Service to discuss some action to be taken to ease the strain on the General Fund. Let us remember that nothing ever happens without some one or some group of people taking the initiative. Sometimes it takes a crisis to bring out the best in all of us, and when the position is made clear, then the response is forthcoming. One of the big financial problems of many Churches is, that there is not an even flow of finances all the year. Even- tually the finances come in; but there are lean months when we fall behind, and have to be carried by our Banks, Now, owing to the weather, the first three months of the year are always lean months, except in the case of Prospect, where the attendance keeps up just the same in January, Feb- ruary and March, as in the warmer months of Summer. And where we have good congregations all year, there is never any difficulty in fin- ancing. In the General Fund at Prospect, we have the largest Cssh Balance to start the New Year than SAL A A SA rn tid any of our Churches. And 80, our Duplex Envelopes have been our best method of financing, Last Sunday evening, your Minister preached Anniversary Service at Fair- port United, in the Dunbarton-Fair- port Pastoral Charge.

We are hoping to make our contribution for the first time this year, as the Island has already pledge $100.00. We are glad to report that our little difference with the Myrtle Church has heen settled by the Pres- bytery. The sum of $500.00 plus in- terest is being returned to them, Their Official Board granted the Scugog Pastoral Charge the sum of one thou: sand dollarg for Manchester's and Prospeet's share in their Parsonage, But.the Presbytery saw fit to increase same to fifteen hundred.

When we are well informed we do a much better work. We would like to see a car load from each Church attend this School, The Minister is giving a course in Religion, leading to Church Member- ship for those who desire to unite with the Church. He will meet them in the Prospect Church every Sunday afternoon at 2.30 p.m. and with the Guides of the Island every Monday evening at 8.00 p.m. We cannot pos- sibly complete the Course by Easter, but hope to do so before the Summer, And then there will be a Service of Dedication and Reception into Mem. bership.
