PAGE TWELVE THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Alberta Government To Aid Rural Areas Edmonton--(CP)--Alberta's Socia. Credit government promises to ex- tend rural electrification through- out the province if re-elected in the Aug. 17 provincial general election, This is one of the main planks in {he platform of the party seeking its fourtfr consecutive term in office Premier Manning has ordered, a plebiscite on rural electrification in conjunction with the election and the development will be made along | the lines favored by voters--by private enterprise or by public own- ership, The Social Crediters also promise to implement the recommendations of a commission which investigated provncial-municipal financial rela- tions. The commission report recom- mended increased payments by the provincial government for -educa- tion, municipa] roads, relief, moth- erss' allowance, child welfare and old-age and blind pensions. ; Other planks in the Social Credit platform include: s | 1. Greatly expanded program for development of natural resources with the crown retaining ownership of such resources. 2. Expansion of public health and welfare program. 3. Improvement in thé province's education system but with reduced costs to land owners by larger pro- vincial grants. 4. More and better roads. 5. Vigorous continuation of en- couraging industry and immigrants to settle in Alberta. 6 "Full government co-operation with both industry and labor to make secure the just rights of both parties and uninterrupted produc- tion." 7. Continued allegiance to social credit monetary principles and con- tinuation ' of the "fight for social justice, economic security and free- dom." The Realities Of Wages By JOSEPH LISTER RUTLEDGE As labor leaders, like business executives, are judged by their ability to produce results, it is per- haps understandable that such leaders, having achieved most of their social objectives, should now concentrate on wages and hours of work. It is perhaps understand- able too that they should insist that wages are just that, and shouldn't: be qualified, in any way, by the rising cost of conymodities. So they ask for wage Increases without price increases. It would be wonderful, if it were possible. Unfortunately it isn't, so the dis- tinction must be made between the wage in the pay envelope and what that money will produce in the way of food, cl g; housing and ot necessities. This I8 real wages' As an example, the average in- dustrial worker in 1944 earned an average annual wage of $1,564, but he could buy with it. -enly the equivalent of $1,315. Labor has used this fact to support demands that increases be paid out of pro- fits so that every dollar might be worth its full face value. It is a pleasant idea. The only thing against it is that there is no reser- voir to draw upon, because wages have increased so much faster than profits. Even figured on a basis of what the wages will buy, the worker has done handsomely. In the bountiful years before the de- pression he had annual real wages of $868. During the depression falling prices worked for him, so he suffered relatively little. His average real wage was $864. The next five year period saw the av- erage go to $832, Then it rose to $1,222 in 1940-45. In other words, even allowing for current high prices in 1944 the average worker had the money to buy 40 per cent more than he could have done in 1940 and 51 per cent more than in 1930. Now what about profits that he would like to use to make his sit- uation better? The net profits of industry in the five years 1940-45 were just $2 million or 76% higher than in the previous five years. Re- member, wages were 31% higher. The amount distributed to share- holders was materially less than it had been, and 38% more of these profits were retained to protect the business and the wages of the work- er. This should scotch the argiment that there are vast reservoirs of profit available to meet new wage demands, The worker has already had much of the profits that the investor has done without. Leadership (Continued from Page 1) into the leadership. He said he would withdraw if a move was made to nominate him. Mr, Martin's nomination came as a budding "Draft Martin" move- ment developed during the day but quietly fizzled out in two attempts to stampede the convention into supporting the Health Minister, One of these came while Mr, King was speaking. Some 40 to 50 dele- gates and party members, led By a piper and carrying banners pro- claiming their Martin support, at- tempted to enter the convention hall, apparently unaware that the Prime Minister was in the midst of his address. Officials stopped them at the door and Mr. Martin asked them to break up, The nominations will be officially closed at 2 p.m, and, after a half- hour of preliminaries, the 'candi- dates who remain will start 20- minute speeches. When these are compelted, scrutineers will go among the delegates to collect the official ballots, issued this morning. DRIVER CRASHES SIGN An unidentified motorist crash- ed into a checkerboard warning sign on Highway No. 2A at Drew Street, last night. The accident, which occurred at 1130 pm. awakened residents in the area but no one was able to get the license number of the driver who made off from the scene at. great speed. Music Composer .

LR BE *Received the monthly reports of the Police, Welfare, Roads, and Sanitary and Building inspectors, the Public Health Nurse, and the Township Solicitor. LR BR Issued two permits for a grocery store and a confectionery next door to each other. "We either have to refuse them 'both or allow them both," said Reeve "Tommy" Thomas. The proposed stores are at 147 and 151 Alexander Boulevard, and the requests for permits were acecm- panied by petitions signed by local residents. + or @ Heard S. Baldwin in a request for enforcing the licensing require- ments re pedlars and hawkers. Mr. Baldwin complained that the door- to-door merchants offer unfair com- petition to those who have to meet Council reminded him that those who are selling their own produce are exempted from the $25 license fee, but Mr. Baldwin said 'that the pedlars concerned were "buying im- ported fruits and vegetables frcm the same. wholesaler I deal with." The city clerk was authorized to get in touch with the men concerned and remind them of the licensing requirements. Boob ok Discussed thie cuarging of tile laid on Orchard View Boulevard to either "Local Improvement" or "Roads and Bridges". If the work is laid under Roads and Bridges the residents will not be required to pay for improve- ments, but this seems unlikely to happen. Roads and Bridges Chair- man Deputy Reeve Wm. E, Noble was authorized to discuss this with the new Township Engineer, wet one is obtained. Lo ah 4 Heard an emphatic protest from usually taciturn Councillor Norman Down, on the subject of feather- bedding on the Township payrolls. "I don't think it is fair to the bud- get to carry along a bunch of lead- swingers on the Township," he said. "If a man cannot keep himself at an ordinary job, p is not the responsi- bility of the Pownship to give him a job and let him spoil the work of the others by exhibiting his laziness or inability. This should be dealt with on its proper basis, which is throug the Welfare Department and relief rather than padding the payrolls of the Roads and Bridges Department." ood Moved that the Darlington Coun- | cil be approached about a bridge on tae town line which, according to Deputy Reeve Noble, "is in very dangerous conditions." He said that the supports under the bridge were not supporting it, and that "if a good heavy truck came at that thing at a good speed from the south, it could very well give way." 4 aR Informed S. Jackson Construc- tion Company that the 'agreement made last year about providing water mains for houses on Mary Street north did not include several new houses which have been built LET'S ALL GO TO CHURCH REGULARLY SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1948 SE @ The Man Who Brought O SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR SUNDAY, AUGUST 15, 1948 Emm By NEWMAN CAMPBELL * ANOTHER HUMBLE but good, industrious, honest and useful man is brought to our attention in this lesson. He was Andrew, one of Christ's first followers. Andrew brought his own broth- er, Simon Peter, to Jesus, telling Peter that he, Andrew, had found the Messiah. It came. about in this way: John the Baptist was preach- ing the coming of Christ, and one John's disciples was this same An- drew. He and a companion were near when John the Baptist pointed to Jesus, who was walking nearby and said, "Behold . the Lamb of God!" Hearing this the two men fol- lowed Jesus, and when He asked them what they wanted, they asked Him where He lived and went with Him to His abode. After talking with Jesus for some hours, And- rew sought out his brother, Simon Peter, and said. "We have found the Messiah," and he brought Si- mon to Jesus. Jesus looked at Peter, saying, "Thou art Simon, the son of Jona, thou shalt be called Cephas, which is a stone." This was Andrew's role in life. He never put himself forward; he was content to work for Christ, to bring others to His notice. He was the first missionary. His first theught on discovering his Master was to tell his brother -- someone near to him -- and to have him share his joy. Missionaries have for years been sent to faroff countries te spread the gospel. They do wonderful work, aiding their converts to a better way of life physically, as well as spiritually, and caring for them in sickness of body as well as of mind. About a year later, after Andrew brought Peter to Jesus, the Messiah was walking by the Sea of Galilee, and again saw the two brothers, Peter and Andrew. The two men were casting their fishing nets into the sea, and Jesus said to them. "Follow Me, and I will make you | fishers of men." "And they straightway left their nets and fol- lowed Him." Mark tells us of the time Jesus chose His apostles and gave them power to perform miracles. Simon Peter was the first mentioned, then James, next John, and fourth ---------- Andrew. John really tells us more about Andrew than any of the oth- er scriptural writers. Andrew him- self never wrote about his experi- ences. He let others do the work that most impressed the world. John tells us of another incident in Andrew's life. It seems there were some Greeks (Galilee was full of Greeks) who embraced the Jew- ish faith and came up to Jerusal- em to worship at the Jewish feast. They had heard of Jesus and came to Philip, one of the ewelve, and a Galilean, and said, "Sir, we would see Jesus." Philip seems not to have known just what to do, so he spoke to An- to Jesus. Another episode was that of the miracle of feeding several thous- and people with five barley loaves and two small fishes. Andrew did not perform the miracle, of course, bt" he was the man to notice the boy who had the food and he called Jesus' attention to the lad, Andrew seemed always ken to see things that needed to be done -- and to do them or see that they were done. They were not mneces- sarily big tasks in themselves, but often they led to something impor- tant, as in this last case. Andrew never was jealous of oth- ers who were put before him. His brother Peter was the leader, and Andrew willingly and cheerfully conceded that place to him with no thought for himself. His was the same task that Je- sus gave to the man possessed of a devil which the Lord Mark tells us that Jesus said to him, "Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lbrd hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee." That was Andrew's mission in life. That is also the mission of each one of us, individually, and of our great country in these troubled times. If we forget ourselves and remember how blessed we are and try to show everyone with whom we come in contact -- here and abroad in foreign lands -- that we are not self-seeking, but desirous of bringing the understanding and freedom -- which we enjoy -- to them, surely we will help to bring about that peace for which we all pray. To Plav Here EDOUARD BARTLETT Alberta's Labor Act Criticized By C.C.F. Edmonton--(CP) -- The C. C. F. promises, if elected in the Aug. 17 Alberta general election, to repeal legislation which provides for. pen- alties against organizations and in- dividuals guilty of illegal strikes or walk-outs. The CCF. in its platform de- clares it will wipe out those amend- ments to the Alberta labor act passed at the last session of the legislature by the Social Credit gov- ernment, The C.C.F, would put inte effect "a trade union act to speed up the settlement of industrial dis- putes through collective bargaining." Urging approval of a publicly- owned power system in the plebiscite in conjunction with the election, the party declares that rural electrifica- tion is one of the major planks in the C. C. P. platform. The plebiscite will ask Albertans if they want rural electrification development by private enterprise or by the government's Alberta power commission, and well-known Oshawa violinist now supervisor of music at Ti High School, who will play at Sim- coe Street United Church Sunday.
