i i tiki citeokpilown herald wednesday- august 23 1 950 ihi z i the editors corner 7 misgled missionaries while the action of quebec residents in resorting ito mob violence in recent occurrences where members of ontario religious groups were conducting street ser- 1 vices cannot be condoned we can hold no particular brief for these misguided missionaries who insist on inflicting themselves on solid catholic communities and who must have some previous awareness of the out come of their actions last week we read in the daily papers of thearrest of a jtoung toronto minister and some of his- followers jfhejir refusal to pay fines for breaking a local bylawand their determination to serve jail terms rather than pay- the firifcs imposed perhaps they iahcy themselves mpderh inaytyts butito us the j whole thing seerns rather silly and unnecessary when aere are so ttiany fields open for religious endeavour in- the dominion c v takefdr eiampjsthepoukhabors in western can ada what a fertile field forjassionries to tackle we guarantee that ainy grpup wjp want to minister to these fanatical sons of freedombould have their hands full and would have- an opportunity to do some real con verting to a ntore orthodox fdrrri of religion- of course it is not necessary to go very far out side the bounds of toronto itself to do missionary work compare total church attendance with the pop- pulation of the city and it gives the clue take george town itself any sunday you will find perhaps four hundred of our two thousand grownups in church thereis a wonderful field for missionary work here and at no risk of incarceration violence or fines implications are frightful as this is written on monday morning indications are that unless some lastminote miracle occurs canada will have a complete strike of raihropfmen s ite impli- cation of such action on the economy of the country is almost too dreadful to realize it is hard to believe that it could happen and harder to believe thnt the govern ment will let it happen already today we are feeling the effects of the threatened strike just a few minutes ago the cana- dian advertising agency whichhanda cnr advo ing wired cancellation instructions for two advertise ments scheduled for this weeks issue of the herald an attempt to mail a parcel to hamilton this morning yras futile the post office explaining that no parcels were being accepted for despatching we were also told that the herald could not be mailed to any outside pointsotherthanruxalrj5utesandlocauticikijlirner house which are served by rural mail carriers arrange- mens have been made for transporting letters by truck but this does not include parcels mrs norman verdec who has been visiting in the city since moving from town last week told us that she had planned to leave for her new home in the west this week but was unable to get reservations because of the threatened strike georgetowners like jean ruddell and marion williamson who are summering on the west coast are in a similar predicament these are small things in themselves they do not approach the terrific problems of supply which must be met if the strike should take place people must be fed and clothed gasoline and oil must be supplied to distribution points throughout the country farm mach- inery and steel grafn and fish newsprint furnaces and washing machines must be moved from their point of origin and it is physically impossible or all this to be done by transport truck and plane fruit and vege table growers stand to be heavy losers of the strike is not settled a strike which lasts more than a few days at most would created problems of distribution which can only be imagined and the sad fact is that some percentage of business will stay lost one plane trip could make an airtraveller out of a train passenger one shipment by transport could lead to a contract and the railway- mens demand for higher wages and shorterhours could be a tremendous boomerang which eventually could give shorter hours all right a no hour week when jobs are not available some thoughts on tipping an editorial in the ingersoll tribune in which the writer expresses his objection to the custom of tipping meets with our full approval it is a custom for which we have no use at all and the sooner people stop being hoodwinked by paying extra fpr services which are usually purely imaginary the better we will like it the odd thing about tips is that they apply only to certain lines of business it is the accepted thing that one should tip the porter on the train the bellboy at a hotel or the waitress in a restaurant it is contrary to this unwritten rule that the clerk who sells you the ticket the laov who clean tip your room each morn ing or the cook who supplies you with food should benefit from this extra payment booking in for overnight at a city hotel recently with only one small piece of luggage we asked the cleric for a room key as we did not intend to go immediately to the room this was not allowed the clerk said that it would be necessary for the bellboy o show us to the room r barefaced admission that they not only condone but encourage the practice it is surely possible to pay porters bellrvop and waitresses a tmm- rate for their services and to abolish tnlsobnombus practice b tipping which is an insult to rtfasrraeipient and an annoyance to the donor hotel- vcrkrvqr j men could render a great service to the public by spark ing the movement for it is in hotels where the custom has itself most deeply rooted potpourri the furnace in the herald
