THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1933 Glory ta God in the Highest an Earth Peace Goodwill Toward Men And Joseph aiso went up f rom Gallilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unta the city of David, which is called Betblehem; (because he wa.s of the bouse of David): ta be taxed with Mary bis espoti- sed wife, being great wiib child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that sbe should be delivered. And she brougbt forth ber firstborn son, and wrap- ped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for thein in tbe Inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the f ield, keeping watch over tbeir flock by night. And, la, the angel of the Lord came tinta them, and the glory of Gad shone round about them; and tbey were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear Not, for, lie- hold, I bring you goad tidings of great joy, whicb shail be ta all people. For unto you is bar tbis day in the city of David a Saviour whicb is Christ tbe Lord. And this shall be a sign tinta you: Ye shail find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, iying in a manger. And Sud- denly there was witb the angel a multidtude of the heavenly bost praising God, and saying, Glory ta God in the Highest, and on earth peace., goodwill taward men. And it came ta pass, as the angels we.re gane away heaven, the shepherds said one ta another let us go even tinta Bethlehem, and see tbis thing whiich is came ta pass, wicb the Lord bath made knowfl tinta us. And they came with haste and found Joseph and Mary, and the babe lying in a manger. And when tbey had seen it they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerniflg tbis cbild. And ail that beard it wondered at those tbings that were tald them by the shepherds. But Mary kept al these things and pondered themi in ber beart. The Work For the Blind From the Annual Report of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind just received it is nated that of 6,715 bind persans registered tbrougbaut Canada 2,428 reside in the Province of Onhario. Last year home teaching in Braille reading and writing as well as bandicrafts was given ta 145 blind adults of Ontario by trained teachers wha are tbemselves blind; 96 blind persans were engaged in employneflt oppartunities iocated and made possible for tbem by the Institute. These employment opportuflities in- cluded small businesses, concession stands in muni- cipal or office buildings, bospitals and industriai plants wbere cammadities suitable ta the location are sold, such as cigarettes, tabaca, candy bars, etc. Wherever possible these opportunities are secured in the local cammunity of the blind person so that be or she may remain in the midst of the family circle and amongst f rientis. In addition 126 were provided employment througb the sheltered work-shops opera- ted by the Institute in Toronto wbere the Head Of- f ice for this Province is iocated and in newstands in variaus centres, executives positions or saiesman- sbip lines. Bow-manville sufferers have been amang those who have been beiped and citizens should aid the saciety in its wark whenever the oppartunity pre- sents ltself. The Liberal Way af Solving Canada's Prablems Last summer, the federal Liberal party of Cana- da organized a Liberal Summ-er Conference, hield ah the Trinity College Schoal, Port Hope. This confer- ence was outstanding by reasan 0f the many distin- guished men, f ram variaus cauntries. wha taok part in the discussion of the pressing prablems of the present era. Their addresses, ai the trne they were delivered, were given wide publicity, flot only by partisan newspapers, but by athers flot altagether friendly ta the Liberal party. Now they bave been gatbered together in a volume, wihh an introduction by the Hon. Vincent Massey, sponsor 0f the Summer School at Part Hope. 1h would be natural ta expect that sucb a book would bave a tinge 0f poitical partisanship. but such is not the case. The treaiment 0f the subjects ceath with, subjecha of tremendous importance, is that of the individuais spealtifg, and flot necessarily that of Liberal policy. The value of tbis book for students of public a!- f airs can best be judged by studying same of the subjects dealt with, sucb as "Can Unemployment be Prevented?'" "How can Canada SelI Her Wheat?" "Should Industry be Conrailed? 'Wbai is the Pur- pose of a Central Bank?" "What Shoulti li Done Wth the C.N.R.?" and so on in a similar strain. This is flot a book to be read lightly, because it re- presents the best tbought af several couniries re- garding probiems which are pressing at the present time, but for those who are students of economics, shudents of public affaîrs, it Is a volume worth bav- ing, and wortb reading. Poor Time For Immigration From important quarters cames the suggestion that Canada can readily absorb additional British immigrants. We presumne that is sponsors refer ta Britishers wbo desire ta settle on Canadian f arm land. To the present time, same succesbas attend- ed the movement ta brng men and their familles from the Motberland ta take up farming in Canada. Many of them have made good. Others, unfortu- nately,have barely eked out a living for themselves. It ail depends on tbe type of man and woman, their experlence on the land and their adaptabillty ho Ca- nadian f arma conditions. In normal times we would well afford ta continue the progran of settllng Brit- Ishers In Canada, because they are by far the xpost deslrable type of citizens. But under present cir- cumstaflces, wth the prevailing .1ow prices for f armn produce, the superabundafice of f armn labor and the trend of Our present citizeris f rom city ta country, It would seem foolhardy. Why send thousands of aur own people into Northern Ontario if land is avail- able for settiement in this more f avored part of the province? Selecting Men for Civic Office is Seriaus Business for Taxpayyers Tomorrow night, (Friday) the annual nomination meeting wil be heid in the Opera House when can- didates will be nominated for the Town Council, Public School Board and Public Utilities Commission. More citizens sbould realize the importance of this meeting. Too often the fact that some citizen be- longs ta a certain church, iodge or some other or- ganization prompts the mover and seconder of the nominations ta put up a man totally unfitted for civic service. Sucb affiliations should bave nothing ta do whatever with appointments to Civic bodies. Candidates sbould be selected on the basis of ability and civic experience if the town*s affairs are ta be conducted in a business like manner. 0f course opinions will differ as to the ability of certain citizens to serve on the Boards of the Town, but if one is nominated in ail sincerity the electars as a whole will make the decisian as to their worthi- ness Party politics should have-nothing ta do with wbo is elected to the town council, but unfortunately in the past it quite of ten did and in many cases bas praven an expensive pastime for the overburdened taxpayer wba eventually foots the bill. The time has came, and the conditions of towvn finances de- mand that aIl personal elemnents, and animasities be dropped f rom the affairs of the toi,, and repre- sentatives elected wbo are able and willing ta give tbeir service to the town in its ti.me of urgent need. That brings up the subject of willingness ta run for civic office. It is the duty of citizens wbo know that they are qualified ta assi.st the town when their services are demnanded. 0f course happenings of the past bave much to do with this willingness now., and the objectionable and unwarranted treatment ta which some members of the council bave been subjected, by sniping puppets bas much to do witb capable and public spirited citizens refusing to enter the municipal arena. A iittle less public abuse and a little more co-operation would be the means of bring- ing more and better men out to serve on the council and other civic bodies. Youthful Mind asks Santa Ta Say it With Guns From Toronto Telegram) Praiseworthy efforts to assist Santa Claus in bis annual task have been made by the Bowmanville Statesman. From time ta time it bas run a colun or more of letters f rom yaung persons wbo desire to be on the welcoming committee on the evening of December 24th. So that there may be as few re- grets as possible an either side, these young people bave set out just what tbey would like to have in the way of Christmas presents. Several of thein tbought- f ully suggest also wbat their little brotbers and sis- ters and their f athers and mathers mast need. One littie lad writes: "If yau can, bring seime work for Daddy.' A noticeable feature of this correspandence is the desire of bays for guns. 0f thirteen boys whose let- ters appeared in one issue, six asked ta be reniera- bered in this way. Some of themn would probabiy lie satisfied witb ailytbing that would make a noise, and would bie quite contented with imitation pistols well supplied witb caps. But one seven-year-old asks f , nfii bl hprpl1Prl cfun, There bas d:ways been a tendency among boys ta banker after f irearms. Wbether this tendency bas been stimulated by lurid movies and tales of bandits is something it would be difficulita decide witbout the assistance of the statisticians and the psycbolo- gists. Certainly if Santa Claus attempts ta filI al bis orders, it looks as tbough there would be room for an active disarmamnent campaigfl in the Baw- manville district just after Christmas. Providing, of course, that lie is nat interrupted in his work. and lodged in Bawmanville jail on a charge of carrying cancealed weapons. A New Yeamnanry In the heyday 0f goad times a few years ago the lure of big wages drew many young men from the farms in Canada ta the urban centres. While busi- ness was good tbey prospered, but when the depres- sien descended upon the industrial world, many last their jobs and were f orced ta accept relief f rom the cities in which tbey resided. During their absence 1the farming industry struggled along without suffi- cient belp and in a great many instances f arms were vacated because the owners could nat carry on. There are sti11 thousands of acres of fertile sail in Canada that are not being cultivated and there are thous- ands of men in cities out of work. With the Gav- ernment spending s0 mucb money on relief mea- sures, it would seexn a logical move ta start a back- to-the-land movement. Instead of doling out money ta the needy the money could be expended in beip- ing men get a start on farms. The land could be given ta them and a small amount of capital suffi- cient ta give them a start in growing produce. They wo--d-at--aft1-e sef-supponrting. and would no long- Pay Mare Attention ta Details Ih is the small bale in the wali that lets the water run out and whicb gradually grows larger tili ail the water s out. Ih is the smail detail in the business that often causes the big losses at the end of the year. In a word, when turnes are bad the mnerchant s watching more closeiy bis little leaks than ever befare. This is as it should be. Merchants haday must see that they close up the leaks and that every dollar spent s spent ta some good purpose. True, you may have ta spend money ta malte maney. But the day of ietting these leaks continue is past. The day is ah hand when every dehail sbould be carefuily analyzeti. Weigh in the balance the expendittire. Does this window produce enough business? Arn I using the riglit kinti 0f adverising? Arn I reaching ail the people in the district wha could use my goods? These are questions that tbe live active merchant will put before himself every day. If lie wiii analyze the situation lie will realize that lie can save money and reacli the peaple in a more thorougb and economical way than lie bas been doing. Look Into the detaîls carefuliy. Stop the leaks and thus malte sure of your business for the year. Cemetery Public Property Relief (Sick, Hospital) Health Fire Dept.
