Vibrant Democracy Os Author's Theme in Peter Howard was Britain's highest paid political journalist )efore the war, working under Lord Beaverbrook. Today he is ;triving ta bring a new spirit ta democracy, a spirit which wil not only foster a democratic world that works, but answer the im- ninent challenge of Communist naterialîsm and the counter-bid of the extreme right. The book has achieved world- vide distribution during the hast year. More than 175,000 copies .ave been sold in Britaîn. It has aeen pubiished in India, Denmark and South Africa. Editions in France, Hoiland, the U.S., Ger- nany, and Japan, wilh appear ;ortly. The Canadian edition is iow available. At the first United Nations Con- ýrence in Britain last February x leading Lord Mayors of Brit- n sent personal copies of the 20ok ta 400 of the dehegates writ- ng in an enclosed letter that his book sets forth the historic .ith of Britain-the ideology of ir democracy. We believe its îilosophy can inspire that over- rching, united idea which will nable us together ta fashion the 7orld for which ahi men long." Labor, too, has acclaimed its iessage. Twenty top labor dig- itaries, including five M.P.'s, sent message ta the entire labor ýadership of Britain ta commend ie book. Howard writes of the war of leas whîch now rages across the 2rld. Hitler's big idea was that ie race should rule . . . and a ,ole world was piunged into ir. Lenin's big idea was that e class should rule . . . and a ilitant materialistic nation )rang up whîch challenges civil- Ltion. "What is our big idea?" is Peter Howard. If we want democracy that works we must ive an idea big enough ta out- atch and outmarch the ideas of ý'isms. Ideas Have Legs shows at this idea is already with us, it we have not put it ta work. The book tells the story of men id women in different parts of~ eworid and from ail walks o f e, industry, labor, government, 1 f the press, and ardinary people in~ the home, who have begun ta put into practice this democratic ide- 010gY - with amazing results. Howard describes homes that have found an answer ta divorce, in- dustries where the concept of honest teamwork has answered the tragedy of modemn class war- fare, and politics where answers have been found because men have had the daring to be honest and to put their nations' needs ahead of apy personal gain or ambition. Howard draws his examples from history, from great men af the day with whom he has made personal friendships, and from the work of Maral-Rearmament-..the program of the Oxford Group. Obituary MRS. BERTHA HELEN GALE .After a brief ilness Mrs. Ber- tha Helen VanCamp, wife of Fred J. Gale of the Town Line, Whitby, died September 22 in her 63rd year.
