WALTER DOUGLAS HONORED Newcastle citizens will be in- terested in the following item clipped from the New York Her- aid-Tribune as it refers to one of our native sons: Walter R. Douglas, who has been engaged in selling rubber drug sundries for the last forty years, was the guest of thirty manufacturers of rubber sund- ries at a testimonial dinner last night at the Advertising Club of New York, 23 Park Avenue. He has been with United States Rub- ber Co. for more than 38 years and since 1932 has been sales manager of' drug sundries and specialties'for the company. Mr. Douglas will retire April 1. He was presented with a lovely Pul- I PROVINCE'S FUTURE TIED TO REST 0F CANADA' The prosperity of this country is indivisible. The success of national reconstruction depends on the relationship which is established between the federal and provincial governments. Ontario, the richest province in the Dominion, can either play a constructive part in the nation's progress or use its influence to force Canada back to pre-war conditions of hunger and unemployment. The future of Ontario is tied up with the rest of Canada. If the West and the Maritimes are well off, then Central Canada goes ahead too. To many a Westerner, to many a Maritimer, Ontario is the villain of Canada's economic life. It is the province that got rich at the expense of the rest of the country-that drains the wealth of the West and thwarts the hopes of the East. Tory policies of such governments as that of Pre- mier George A. Drew do nothing to dispel this view. Old Man Ontario 18 Rich! Ontario is well off compared to the rest of the country. The province started with certain natural advantages. To begin with, it is big. Big enough to include vast forests and fine farmlands, great waterways and powersites, gold ores and base metals. Canadians have definite ideas about their country's post-war develop- ment. They have expressed a determination to maintain full employment and to a large extent the nation's reconstruction plans revolve around the twin basic problems of economic prosperity and social security. And here Canada's great constitutional problem makes itself feit. How can the Dominion undertake to legislate for the country as a whole on matters that the British North America Act has reserved to the pro- *vincial governments ? Centralized Control Works! The resuits of wartime centralized control have made Canada sit up and think. Most people, with organized labor in the forefront, believe the Dominion govemnment should be given powers by the province to enable it to undertake national reconstruction and the financing of social reforms. This needs the agreement of the provinces, particularly Ontario whose Tory administration has rejected the Dominion government's proposaIs and is now attempting, under the false cry of provincial rights, to stay national reconstruction and prevent the people from improving their way of life so that the financiers and industrialists may enjoy still greater profits. Housing, health insurance, public works, national labor and wage standards, child welfare and other reforms cannot be effectively intro- duced and maintained unless the principle of national authority for the mnost profitable source of revenue-income and corporation taxes-is put into effect. Pro,%sper Together! It is up to every ,Ontarian to s9ee the various projects become realities. Anid one lesson of the war is this: Ontario cannot achieve post-war pros- perity by herseif. Ontario's people cannot sit back in the placid belief: ,"We're ail right, why should we pay taxes for the rest of Canada." In fact, Ontario prospers only when the rest of Canada prospers. Depressions can't be confined to one province. Prosperity has got to be nation-wide. That calis for a post-war prograi for Canada as a whole in which Ontario and its people move ahead in company with aIl other Canadians. Premier George A. Drew with his recent proposais to the Dominion- Provincial Conference would disrupt national unity in order to protect the interests of the ich whose spokesman he is. The people of Ontario cannot afford to follow his policies. They lead to national discord and chaos. OSHAWA& DISTRICT LABOR COUNCIL lui If jeu do'tasep WA Deys.

He was born in Newcastle and attended New- castle public and high sehool. He has neyer lost touch with his na- tive village, always returning each suxnmer to spend his vaca- tion with his parents during their 111 e time to whom he was always a loving and devoted son. Upon the death of his mother a few years ago he continued to return to his former home accompanied by his sister, Mrs. H. Ragen of Toronto, every suinmer and is now having extensive alterations made in the house, which his many friends in Newcastle hope he will make bis permanent home upon bis retirement in April.
