PAGE EIGHT THUItRSDAY, OCT. l8th, 1945 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO Milk Keeps Me on the Job "'After a busy hour 1 need milk to get me ready for the next" Strong, healthy bodies are ev- ery bit as important as guns and tanks in wartime. For that reason you are urged to include an adequate supply of Glen Rae Dairy milk ini your diet. Health authorities agree that niîlk is essential for health protection and strength. I M 1~ CHANGE CANIADA'SP CONSTITUTION British North fmericu Act Must Be Amended Io Spur Progross Tomn by rebeliion against colonial mule, divided by conficting economie interests and threatened at times with annexation by the United States, Canada was ushered into the world as a nation on July 1, 1867. On that day by proclamation of Queen Victoria, the British North America Act officially established the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia as the Dominion of Canada and provided for the entry of other provinces in the future. Federation was not achieved easily. Sectional politics almost wrecked efforts at unity and the building of a new nation. Compromise was neces- sary and the sacrifice of many local interests to guarantee the birth of the new country. Sealing this unity was the B.N.A. Act, Canada's constitution. The B.N.A. Act, which at the time of Confederation was a modemn document, today is considered by many Canadians as obsolete and in need cf much revamping if it is to serve the country's people in a new era. The Fathers of Confederation wrote the document in the age of the sailing boat, before a plane was dreamed of, before radio and the splitting cf the atom, before talk of social security and the five day week. ORGAMNIED ]LABOR SEEKS CHANGE 11V OU>D LAW Canadian unions are foremost in demanding that the B.N.A. Act be amnended to provide for gre:àter powers to the federal government to enable it to enact social security measures in the interest of ail Canadians. The Act divided powers between the Dominion and the provinces. The federal government has the right to legisiate on matters that concern everyone in Canada. The provincial legislatures were given the right to deal with local matters that affect each province. However, one of the subjects assigned to the provinces wvas "«property and civil rights". And nearly any law passed by the Dominion was bound to affect property and civil rights in the provinces. Subjects like unernployment insurance, minimum wages, health in- surance, in fact everything that we now caîl "social services", were unheard of then. The difficulties become apparent when we try to organize and finance an adequate and modern systemi of social services for all parts of Canada. Practically ail of these matters are, by the termis of our constitution, under the control of the provinces. Ail these services cost money. The provinces, however, under the constitution are limited and restricted in respect of taxation and finance. And some of theni are wealthier than others making uniformity diffilcult. DOMINION NEEDS POWERS TO GIVE NMEW DEAL The Dominion ou the other band bas almost unlimited powers of taxation and bas general control over tariff and fiscal policy. But the Dominion cannot legally organize and administer the required social ser- vices. In other words, the Dominion bas the money but not the legal power, the provinces have the legal power but not the money. It is in the interest of Canadians generally to have conditions as nearly' uniform as possible in ahl parts of Canada. On]y the Dominion government can enact laws to that end. It means that the provinces must agree to give up some of their powers, must agree to aniend our constitution and give the Dominion an opportunity to improve our national life. It goes without saying that organized labor is interested in social legislation which would give the ordinary man the right to work, the right to shelter, the right to a decent education and protection from un- employment, sickness and other social evils. Organized labor advocates a drastic revision of the B.N.A. Act. Con- stitutions are not sacred, they are man-made and must be changed periodi- cally to be in tune -with the times. The Dominion-Provincial Conference will resume its sessions next month in Ottawa to discuss some of the n-atters we mention here. Already, Premier George A. Drew in his Toronto Canadian Club speech on Oct. 1 gave notice that his government will oppose the granting of additional powers to the Dominion. His attitude endangers post-war reforms. Unions and groups interested in change must make their voice heard. Queen's Park must not block Canadian progress. OSHAWA and DISTRICT LABOR COUNCIL AFFILIATE CANADIAN CONGRESS 0F LABOR Cruickshank Wins Senior Championship With Holstein Bull John Cruickshank, Hampton, won the Senior Maie Champion- ship on his three-year-old bull, Glenafton Pilot, at the fourth Regional Championship Holstein show held October Il at Wark- worth He also had the sixth prize two-year-old and Senior Yearling Heifers and the seventh Progeny of Dam. A. Muir & Sons, Courtice, took third prize in the two-year-old bull, Juniot Yearling Heifer and *Heifer Caîf Classes, and fourth in the Open Get-of-Sire. H. Bruce Tink, Hampton, showed the fourth place two-year-old Heifer and A. J. Tamblyn & Son, Orono, the fourth Bull Cal!. Durham stood fifth in the County Herd class which was won by Northumberland. Thirty-four exhibitors from 8 central counties showed 103 head of quality Hoisteins. Another important winner was R. Ray McLaughlin who took 6 firsts on 14 entries. Junior and Grand Champion bull was McLaughlin's *senior yearling Elmcrof t Sylv-o- Gram. He also took the Reserve championship in the junior fe- male class. LOCAL CROF REPORT -The Ontario weekly crop re- port issued by the Department o! Agriculture, Oct 15, makes ref- erence to the general heavy rains encountered which affect farming operations. Durham County report states: "Harvesting of buckwheat and red clover for seed has been prac- tically impossible due to contin- ued wet weather. The acreage sown to fall wheat will be down somewhat this year. The limit- ed apple crop finds many buyers and consumers eager to purchase. Some growers sold too soon as consumer ceiling price for most they could have obtained the consumer ceiling price for most of the crop." Many districts report silo corn badly frozen, but pastures have continued good Potato digging has also been delayed. Plowing is general but due to wet lands, horses are taking the place o! tractors. Labor is stili scarce. A Welcome Home party was beld in Enniskillen Hall on Fni- day night for 5 boys--Carson Dean, Robert Carter, Georgeb Carter, Ronald Archer and Ro-f bert Smith.

Opener To Peterboro Squad With grounds in good condition but a raw cold wind cutting across the gridiron at Bowman- ville High School, Saturday, Pet- erboro, Collegiate Institute Rugby ream beat the Bowmanville High School Team 15-0 in a bard fought game in Senior COSSA. A good crowd turned out including many Peterboro rooters, vocally boosting Bey. Goulding's hefty aggregation. Bowmanville was much the lighter team and tore in manfully. But in many plays they made costly muifs and er- rors in judgment. Outside lucky breaks, play was fairly even. The first five minutes found the teams on even terms but both made fumbles and incomplete passes. Strike used sharp judg- ment after a blocked kick by booting the loose bail down the field, a chance to score but op- ponents recovered. Then Mcll- veen intercepted a pass, tore through for 30 yards but the bo- cals were held Bowmanville fumblqd and Pat- erson, PCI, snatched the baîl for a short run-and touchdown. The kick was good: Score 7-0. Out- ram, PCI captain, rolled across for the second touch and a second kick boosted the margin to 13-0. DeGeer kicked off in the sec- ond baif. Dadson looked good with bis passing and quarter- back edgîng. With hall a yard to go for lst down, BHS tried a field goal, a muif that happened twice in the game. Score at third quar- ter 13-0. Fourth quarter, BHS went down the field on PCI penalties. Position was reversed and PCI reached the one-yard line, were held. But on the boot Simpkins was tackled behind the line as the gong went. Final score 15-0. Cowle, Bowles and Martin made up BHS heavy tacklers while Mc- Ilveen starred as usual. BHS lineup: Centre, A. Strike; left inside, M. Tamblyn; right in- side, G.
