supposed to usher in gaiety easter is the climax to 40 days of lent and the beautiful flower of rha season is the pure white easter lily the english name for easter comes from the anglo saxon eostri goddess of light or spring whose festival was cejebrated in april there 4wasrpperently of controversy in setting the date for the easter festival but this was settled fcy the council of nice in 325 easter was established on the first sunday after the full moon the habit of presenting easter eggs is a cus tom thought to have been derived from the per sian magi the egg being the symbol of creation christians look on the easter season as one of rebirth spiritually as well as in the surrounding nature it is the festival that welcomes spring in all its freshness and newness- of life good friday

worship fn your way in the freedom of your land tematic way of putting on a levy and the taxe collected on all alcoholic beverages are levied ac cording to your capacity and tastes but there is no fuss or quibbling about the amount that goes in taxes with- every swallow most of these are taxes tnat come with such regularity that they go unnoticed in most cases perhaps they come so often that they are not reafr iied at any fate they seem to be less painful than those mijl rates and municipal taxes that are announced once a year on the other hand there are no tax moneys collected for which we see as direct benefit as we do from municipal levy we all benefit directly from the services we see everyday perhaps the reason may be that the municipal levy both-in- benefits and in means of collection is so open that it is often a target for criticism certainly other branches of governments have been much more successful at camof laging the amount ex tracted than municipalities have with the mill rate system we suggest some study be given by some expert to make the mill rate rhore palatableanov taken into our system as easily as the other fornix of taxes which seem to be taken for granted what makes high standards a survey of 1100 office and factory workers conducted by opinion research corporation of the good old days may have seemed better back in 1935 i back in 1905 fro hm

prayer at the altar rail lo in your heart is treasured the dew and rare perfume fr jarflens planted by angels in lands of immortal bloom take it easy a news item appearing in the daily press last week intimated that the provincial government was giving some more consideration to its an nouncement that the services of provincial police would be withdrawn from all municipalities over 2000 population the item placed the population figure at 3500 which locally would be helpful in the situation and would give acton an opportun ity to arrange for the change well in advanee when the figures were getting close to this stipu lation the close coordination required for effective police work throughout the province however needs some alternate plan if the present setup in ontario municipalities is to be effective qrm- nals and lawbreakers -do- not confine themselves to one town it takes only a few minutes to trans fer activities from one municipality to another will the network of police communication throughout the province be available for use of municipalities in which local police operate solely havjng chased a lawbreaker past the towns borders will local police have any means to alert provincial detachments we hope the intimation ofreconsideration by the provinical government is correct the whole prob is a bit too involv ed to dump right in the laps of all towns in the province perhaps it could be solved over a per iod of years but certainly not in one big consign ment such as was given in the letter jo munici palities over 2000 population more sugar coating there ought to be a new method devised in announcing the municipal tax rate there atetax- es oh every side every day in the week and they never stir anything like the controversy that the municipal mill rate seems to cause folks often forget all about the total amount involved the as sessment and a lot of other relevant items and just hold the mrlr rate as the big deciding factor in the multitude of taxes levied at allsources theres the sales tax- that everyone knows is 10 per cent but few realize just where it is con cealed in the taxes if you drive a gasoline pro pelled vehicle theres the levy of r ten cents on every gallon that doesnt show as a separate item there are a couple more levies deducted from every pay envelope every pay day if you go to the horse races and wger money theres a jsys- princeton university and reported in march issue of fortune found that they rate businessmen more intelligent forwardlooking fairminded capable hardworking energetic trustworthy honest and truthful than government leaders or kjnioijofficials but when asked which group had done most toimp l 47 per cent said union officials government leaders and business men got just 18 per cent each best comment on this may be found in the february issue of the canadian unionist official publication of the canadian congress of labor which contains a report by mr gower markle director of education and welfare for united steel workers on his recent visit to the tata iron and steel industry at jamshedpur india mr markle found tata workers mainly union ized but laborers among them were making only 40 cents a day and the highestpaid production workers 4 at the iron mines in nearby goruma- hisani mr markle found men and women work- ers also unionized removing iron ore with pick shovel and basket for an average of 25 cents a day if unions improve living standards in us why dont they improve them in india reason is that unionization doesnt determine living standards anywhere what determines living standards among any countrys workers is the amount of machinery they have at their disposal urwotkers are paid well because they are well supplied with machines indian workers are paid badly because they are not real credit for high living standards belongs jiejther with union officials nor government lead ers it belongs with the investors who furnished the capital tpduy the machines that make our workers thfe worlds most productive until asia understand and accepts this it will remain- poor no matter now highly unionized and when we forget it we will be well ovi the road to poverty n
