Net Paid Circulation Average Per Issue 8, 2 2 (1) APRIL, 1948 THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1948 'A Timely Hint Although it may not be a very popular subject to bring up at the present time, particularly in view of the fact that we are just beginning to experience warm weather and coal shovels are being put aside for the first time since early last | fall, we would suggest that it would be timely for house- | holders to give serious consideration to th: filling of their bins as soon as possible. In conversation with one of the leading local fuel dealers we were informed that the fuel situation next fall will prob- ably be as bad if not worse than it was a year ago. This means that if consumers leave their bins empty until then | they may find themselves in a most unenviable position. It is also learned that quite a little anthracite as well as domestic grades of fuel are coming through at present. Dealers are anxious to dispose of it as quickly as possible as they have not the storage facilities to handle any great quan- tity. Their position will be made more happy if the supplies coming in are snapped up rapidly. This will enable them to order more and at the same time fill a large number of cellar bins for individuals. Another factor in the current situation is that the miners' agreements with the operators expires in June. This may mean a cessation in operations at the mines. Even a short stoppage will make the fuel situation more grave. Added to this is the possibility that when new agreements are signed the miners may get an increase which will be passed on to the consumer in the form of a price increase. While many demands are being made upon the house- hold budget and money is being laid aside at this season in preparation for summer vacation, we believe it would be only wise to give serious consideration to filling your coal bin. Florence Nightingales On Tuesday night of next week the graduating class of nurses at the Oshawa General Hospital will be given their caps and diplomas. With three years of training behind them these young women will embark on their chosen careers as trained nurses, bringing health to the sick and restoring hope to those who had thought they were doomed to agony through illness, Enough appreciation is not always given the work of the nurses in healing the sick. The doctors know that a good nurse can do much tg help the patient. Some nurses have a way of tending the sick so that the patient has confidence in what is being done and realizes that better health is possible. - During this recent and other wars the nurses have played major roles. Any wounded man who spent weeks or months | in hospital knows well how valuable was the work of the nursing sisters and their voluntary aides. Provincial Police Duties The role of the provincial police in the maintenance of law and order in districts over which they have jurisdiction was explained in some detail by Hon. Leslie Blackwell, attor- new-general, during a recent address at Trenton. The explanation was one that might have been given at any public meeting. Two important points emerged from the address. One was that the provincial police force of 830 men is made up largely of men who saw active service overseas and second, in connection with industrial disputes such as strikes, the police are never sent in to a municipality except | on request, which usually comes from the mayor or head of the police commission when it is found that local police can no longer take care of an emergent situation. It is not the intention of the government that the provincial police should be strike breakers but rather that they should uphold the law as they know it. Their task is not an easy one, and it is possible that the duties and responsibilities of the provincial police are not fully realized by a great many of our people. Their attendance upon strike-bound plants demands longer hours, many days away from home, and, in many instances, greater risks. It is none of their choosing.

A CAPITALIST (Hamilton Spectator) A capitalist has been quite prop- erly defined as one who foregos immediate 'enjoyment of his means for a future gain through risk; whether this is with $200 or $2,000,- 000.

Cairns. Kong Moon, South China. Income Tax By FORBES RHUDE Canadian Press Business Editor Toronto, May 27--(CP) -- The sales tax was defended and the in- come tax questioned by Prof. J. L. McDougall of Queen's University in an address prepared for delivery to- day to the annual general meeting of the Canadian Manufacturers As- sociation. o He said there is every appearance that if the government makes a de- termined effort to enforce the pres- ent income tax upon farmers at anything approaching present rates it will 'have a full-scale revolt on | its hands. . | Prof. McDougall said "a heavy in- {come tax is a magnificent device | for raising a lot of money during a | war; but the attempt to retain any- thing resembling those rates in time | of peace when people lack the | compelling incentive to pay such | taxes is to court disaster. .. | "When exemptions were substan- | tial, when tax rates low and when | total tax collections were a lower | percentage of the national income | than they now are, the income tax | had advantages which it now is in | danger of losing, | "Aggregate income tax collected | from people with incomes below $3,000 now exceeds that paid by | those with $10,000 a year and over. This is not®because they are taxed | unduly, it is merely a reflection of the fact that there are so many of them, Soles Tax Tz Detonded Questioned AsCMA Men Gathered "I recognize that we live in a so- called 'positive state. It accepts a constantly - broadening responsibil- ity for the well-being of its citi- zens. . . Yi "A considerable part of the poli- tical support for it has come from people who thought it was all to come by 'taxing the rich. Perhaps it is regrettable, but there just aren't. enough rich people to make that possible, What is in fact hap- pening is that the beneficiaries of that policy are being compelled to pay most of the costs themselves. "In that situation, the sales tax is a far safer tool than the income tax. People get what they earn. They have full discretion in deter- mining whether they will pay sales tax on the purchase of a new suit of clothes, or on a refrigerator, or will save their money and avoid the tax altogether. . .

Beurling's Wage $200 For Month As Pilot--Hagana Montreal, May 27 -- (CP) -- Far from being mercenary, George (Buzz) Beurling was willing to fly for Israel for "ridiculously" small pay, a representative of Hagana, the Jewish Army organization, said | today. Beurling, 26-year-old Verdun-born pilot who was the leading Canadian fighter ace during the second world war, was killed last week in a plane crash while flying to Palestine to fight for the newly-formed Jewish state against the Arabs. The Hagana representative said that reports that Beurling was be= ing paid $1,000 a month by the Is- rael government were "utterly false." Actually, he sald, Beurling contracted to fly for only $200 a month. (Beurling, before he left Canada, had been"quoted in press interviews and magazine articles as saying he would fly for the highest bidder and TUESDAY, JUNE 8...
