hundred boy scouts set an example that might well be emulated by grownups they lived there for two days did their cooking slept am played there then when it was all over every orte of them was marshalled into order and the place cleaned up it didnt take long either the notable part was that all th group participated in the cleanup there are a coupl of points here for all when everyone helps with the task the job isnt big again tfie boy scouts have left a very pieasant after feeling and should they fleaire to come to acton again there will be no hesitancy about allowing use of the facili ties the cleanup has been the subject of much favorable comment the scouts have shown us how we should never be too old to take a lesson who wants it finance minister dunning has forecast a deficit of 42000000 for the canadian national railways for the calendar year of 1938 in the light of other predictions it will more likely be 50000000 no one but a government could operate such an institution unification as suggested by the cpr would save some 6000000 per year which seems a very small amount off the total the operation is a major one and the unification scheme does not apparently offer the solution any other business would long before have been forceiinja bankruptcy- but governments can stave off the final day the income tax the excise tax and other taxes can be inaugurated to meet payments on the losing concern that deficit is being paid by the people in tax levies visible and invisible its a lot of money to pay for the privilege of owning any thing perhaps it would be better to sell and take the complete loss deficits are increasing rather than decreasing who wants a railroad another reason why small towns remain small a works program involving the expenditure of 40000000 was presented last week to the house of commons by labor minister rogers the wisdom or otherwise of this pumppriming method of recov ery is not the subject we wish at the moment to dis cuss it is however noted thai parr of this amount will be a lowcost and lowrental housing scheme for for the large cities and towns just why this opportunity should be conferred to only the larger centres is the part to which we object most everyone seems to agree particularly when ad dressing small communities and the rural area that the ideal place for family rearing and living is the smaller community relief problems have been more difficult to handle and more costly in the thickly populated centres in the light of past experience is it advisable to confine the plan of lowrental housing to the large centres would it not be better to build up the smaller communities and encourage folk tp live there where conditions are so much better for living but it does seem that the most priming is done not where the best results are obtained often but where the most votes are likely to be inlluencd why not encourage building where people could have a little land with the building and utilize spare time in gar- dening it isnt that canada hasnt plenty or land available big cities will get bigger and- the rural communities smaller with such government encour agement wotawleyomlt1 henry ford his some good advice for effecting a restoration of prosperity it concerns chiefly a changed philosophy of life ami attitude towards money on the part of many people here is the gist of certain remarks he made for publication the other day people must wake up and go to work too many people try to live off money money isnt wealth its just a token of wealth- we must create wealth and we must do it by doing something people should be their own leaders too many people are naff asleep theyre looking for security instend of making it themselves and so they arc cosily fooled by their leaders the noted detroit motor car magnate also has some advice for those engaged in industrial pursuits theres plenty to be done in industry and it ought to be done now forty years ago people could not foresee

carta week perhaps many have wondered after the announce ment last week just why magna carta week is boing observed the objects of this observance are given fully in an organization letter sent out by the can adian legion the object of magna carta week is to remind us of the advantages of the system of govern ment we enjoy 1 it is democratic no doubt democratic gov ernment has often grave defects and other kinds of government such as dictatorships may seem some times more efficient but democracy has at least this to be said for it that it enables the majority of the people of a country to change by their ballots condi tions they do not like under a dictatorship this can only be done by bullets how would you like to have bullets substituted for ballots 2 it is based on the rule of law not even the king of gteat britain or the president of the united states or the governorgeneral of canuda is above the law and in canada every officer of government from the prime minister down to the humblest civil servant or police constable is liable in the courts if he breaksthc law but a dictator is always above the law his will is law how would you like to be subject to the whims of a lawless ruler 3 it is based on individual liberty this does not mean liberty to say or do what one likes but liberty to say or do only what one likes within the law it means however what are known as freedom of speech freedom of assembly and freedom of the press it means that the state exists for the in dividual and not that the individual exists for the state how would you like to be ft slave of the state 4 it is characterized by freedom from arbitrary arrest and from imprisonment without trial this has long been a feature of the british system of justice with its habeas corpus acts it has never been a feature of dictatorships how would you like to be arrested without any charge being made against you and kept in jail indefinitely without any re course to justice 5 it is based on religious toleration in all the englishspeaking countries there is the fullest reli gious freedom that is not always true in countries under a dictatorship nor is it likely to be true how would you like to be persecuted for your religious beliefs it is because we have inherited from the mother country not only the english language and litera ture but also the british way of doing things that we should
