Christmas Shopping Guide These are busy days for everybody and as Christmnas approaehes fhey get busier than ever. t sems there are not enough days ini the week to gef haîf done what anc plans ta do. With such a predicament, as anc approaches the happy Christmas season, more than the usual amount of planning must be done ta save tiine and money. As an aid ta every member of the family fa d., their Christmxas shopping in comfort and with satisfaction wc suggest you peruse tlioughtfu'lly this issue of The Stafesman 's "Christ mas Shopping Guide." This is a eooperative-effort for the mufual inferesfs and benefit of the busy shopper and the progressive .xnerclanf. If brings right into your home in a pleasing, compact and effective way, f lrougli your hame-town paper, hundreds of suggestions which you wiu find helpful in solving that problein uppermost in the xinds of most folks these days, of what ta give and whcre te fimd if. Then froin the local mercliant's stand- point if makes a most canvenient, thorougli and direct means of getfing his important and intercsting store news inta the haines of thousanda of people wifhiu flic purchas- .ing area of Bowmanville. Shop early and shap with ihe merchants who invite you, flirougli their adverfisc- ments, to make their store your Christmnas hcadquarters. The People Have Spoken Yes, the electors of Bowmanville have spaken. If wasn't very loud, in facf, it niglt be tcrmed only a mild whisocr wlien yau consider there are over two thousand veters and less than eighf liundred uscd their franchise at the municipal elections an Monday. The weafher was fine; flic dcc- tions were put on a monfli carlier ta avoid thec Christmnas rush; there was plent y of publicity and f alk about municipal affaira. Yet thli pajorify of flic itizens didn 't vote. Why?1 Just happy-go-lucky, careless indif- ference, wc would say. Sa we would sug- gest fa those who didn 't f hink if worth- while ta vote, ta not criticise tee sey-erely flic actions of yaur 1940 council. Witli the defeat of Caiinillors Furber and Biekle, flic last of flic plafforin speak- crs of the short-livcd Ratepayers' Associa- tion lias been eliminaf cd. We believe flua organization started ouf with gaod inten- tions but they were fao revolutionary in their actions te lasf in a conservafive- minded comxnunity. Mr. Furber, althougli a gead and wiliing worker spoiled his commendable deeds wif h his bombastie Billy Sunday public utter- ances and gesticulations. As for Mr. Bickie lie always appcarcd sincere and conscien- tioeus, but his constant desire ta de things lis way and upset csfablislied custems in flic naine of progress had mare fa do witli lima defeat f han lie may realize. However, we give credifta bofli of fliese men for fliir willingness to serve in public office when se many others, equally and better qualificd, will neither serve nor vote. Wc have every confidence fli cocuncil for 1940, wnder the careful guidance of Mayor R. 0. Joncs, wiil continue ifs pro- grainofe conomy se well established dur- ing flic fenure of office of Ex-Mayor W. B. Strike. This policy cambined wifh flic retireinent of several substantial debenfures in flic next few years sliould mean a f ur- ther reduction in flic t«x rate whicli is ai. -ways welconie ncws te flic electors.! Credif is duceflic newly organized Chamn- ber of Commerce for flic active part fliey took in flic leefions, parficularly for f liir efforts in flic new Board of Educatiopi. The C. of C. can be of great assistance ta flic lected bodies of flic municipality in their e oapratian and sensing public opinion. SheuId List Be Publshed? * There appeare fa be a difference of opin- ion as ta whef ler or nef fheli sf of con. tributors te flic cause of the Red Cross Society should be published. The Statesmai asne hesifafion in saying fliat it believèÎ tthefi list shauld bc publislicd so fliat ooutributors will gef credif for their cou- tr4butions. Xn l00king over a number of Ontario newapm, bath daily and weekly, we m#ee*àOnwhere flic liste have been pub- &p oo a ther places. Whilc fliere arc some don f care ta have flicir naine inacnnectian wifh donations Àkev ,It lias to be acknowledged thaf ti.~i~$y ef pea ple. like te be given I'OW Casadimai Are Hýodwlnked By Aflertean Ptiblcatons 'Let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth," was a plea"for doing good by stealth. It was neyer offered as an excuse for hypoerliey and dauble-deal- ing. "Liberty" Magazine has an editorial policy which 'seems te us unadulterated hypocrisy and that cames very close ta double-dealing. Not many people know that "'Liberty" gets ent two editions. The first is for Amer' jean consumption. The other is for the Canadian reader. The American edition is bitterly oppesed te the war and la, moreover, dietinctly anti-British. It pleads witli the American people ta keep eut of this war; it warns them not to let Britain and France poison the minds of American people with their propaganda; it presents Britain as a de- faulter, able te pay its debts but unwilling ta do so. It lias jeered at Chamberlain and questianed whether Britain is even a de- mocracy. Week by week it warns the Amer- jean people nat ta be victimized by the British lion. Obviously "Liberty" would flot seli many copies in Canada if it published such mater- ial here. Sa it gets out a Canadian edition. Allich anti-British articles are dropped. In their places are swect exhortations ta the Canadian people ta go farward and face their duty; ta accept the challenge laid doW'n by Hitler; ta join in the strugglc te free the world froin the bandage of fear. "Canadian" editorials present the war as a fight for liberty, a figlit ta save democ- racy. "Liberty" in Canada is willing that every Canadian should lay down his life e save the world from Naziism. "Liberty" across tlic ine does not want a single .Ameriican boy or dollar ta be sacrificed on the altar of British ambition. We were amazcd in looking over some recent editions of the American and Can- adian editions of "Liberty." Neyer have we seen such insufferable hypocrisý' openly displaycd. "Liberty" also sells saine advertising ini its Canadian edition ta Canadian firins. We doubt if any of these firme would sup- port sucli a publication if they. appreciated haw their dollars are being used ta under- mine British prestige in the United States; ta misrepresent the Allied case; ta create suspicion and distrust about Britain's motives. We actuallysaw a Canadian Governinent advcrtisement in anc issue of "Lib;erty." Thus even the taxpayers' money is used ta subsidize a most insidious anti-British cain- paign in the United States. Rather tougfl on Canadian taxpayers! We understand that the "Canadian" cdi- tian of "Liberty" is printcd ini Canada. But most of fthc editorial amaterial with thle exception of ifs leading editarial each week and an occasion Canadian article, is pre- pared in flic States. Proofs or plates are sent over and p t on Canadian presses andi the magazines aïe run off. "Liberty" buys Oanadian paper and hires a few workers here. It disburses in Canada mare than an enfirely .S.-produced paper like Saturday Evening Post. But what it pays ouf la only a fraction of what a genuinely Canadiau, magazine wauld disburse. Canada has sopue ýrulY finie Canadýan magazines - periodicals like Maclean's, Na- tional Home Monthly, Chatelaine and Can- adian Home Journal. They struggle under the most serions handicaps. Comp etitive American papers like the Saturday Evening Post - just as anti-Britiali as the Americau edition of "Liberty" - and others came into this cou.ntry enffrely free of duty. They spend their money for American art- icles, Amierican arfwark, American paper and American engravings, and enter the countty withouf contribufling a cent ta the Canadian treasury. Their collmns carry the advertising messages of American com- mercial concerns goods. The Canadian magazines buy Canadian paper, Canadian articles and art, Canadian engravings and employ Canadianq- ta pub- lish their editions. They ither pay duty ou their raw mat erials or pay the Canadian prices which are usually the American prices plus dufy. rs if not about time we woke up te flic fact that the minds of young Canadians are being paisoned by anti-British propa- ganda pouring in by the ton from the United States whiie aur own mass of periodical literature is able ta survive only because of flic sfubbarn public spirit of a handful of Canadian publisherst We have net forgot- ten, ither, that only a few months ago that grand old publication, The Canadian Maga- zine, fell by the wayside because if couldn 't keep up the paee with such unfair cern- petifian. We presume it 'is only because these ather publishers have interests in other business and teclinical publications that they are able ta indulge in the luxury THNY'LL DO 1? IVUET T By The OId Box Stove BY UMAX Dack on thc 7th Conession I suppose it's the case wlth al of us that if we could se aur- selves as others sec us-we would have te be introduced te aur- selves, and perhaps it's best the way it is. Even if ne ance elebas a good opinion of us we still have Our awnm and we arc happy and more contented because cf it. That may satisfy us as individuals but in the opinion of thc gang it's ne good when -applicd te athers.
