Mr. Elliott addressed the gath- ering on Vocational Guidance and stated that o! the home and schaol, the home is the more important having the child for the first five and most impressionable ycars which are cxtremely important in detcrming what the child will be. In guiding a child, the counsel- 1er requires some knowledge o! the background, motives, natural interests and aptitudes o! the child. Sound motives are essen- tial te persistent effort. If the motives are wvrong, he is apt te faîl by the way side. Character grawth is important as strength o! character is strength o! will. If the child bas a proper scftse o! values bis occupational choice should appeal ta hlm aver a long terni. The child should have the desire built in hlm to carry on l'ar the job's sake and nat for self- ish and materialistic motives. In determining bis interests he is asked te fi out forms to state his interests. AIse bis hobbies and the magaiines and books be rcads are taken ir.to consideration.

Ratlonlng Announced By Commission A modi! ied farm of power ra- tioning is being put into effect by The Hydro-Electric Power Com- mission of Ontario. The Regula- tions, which are designed to cur- tail certain uses cf eiectricity will came into effect an Monday, Nov. 10, and will apply throughout On- tario wherever power is supplied by Hydro. This has become ne- cessary in order ta help provide sufficient electricity for full pro- duction o! industry and agricul- ture, and ta maintain employment. The use o! electricity for signs, show windows, and ornanientai lighting for decorative or adver- tising purposes is prohibited. The aperation of air heaters, electric grates, or electric boilers used for heating stores or offices is pro- hibited; as is alsa the lighting of interiors o! business premises af- ter business hours, u.iless work is being done. An exception will be made for banks and other business places requiring light for protec- tion. The use o! electricity for flood- lighting of parking lots, used-car lots, service stations, out-door in- dustrial premises and the iighting a! marquces, entrances and exits is restricted ta the minimum amount deemed neccssary in the interests of public safcty. The use of electricity for inter- lar domestic purposes and in hos- pitals is not prohibited under the Regulations, nor is flood-lighting of airports, lighting for police and fire services and protection, light- ing required by law, and lighting for direction signs and signs desi-1 gnating the office of a medical practitioner. Provision is made whereby the Commission may grant exemp- tions under the Regulations. It is contemplated that such exemp- tions will be granted nnly where public health and safety are en- dangered. The Regulations will provide only a part o! the savings neces- sary ta maintain full employment.' It is, therefore, vital that consum- ers, homemakers, workers, farm- ers, storekeepers and business.men do their part by saving electricity wherever possible.

James J. rMcCanu Minis ter of National Revenue Willow Acres Catalogue Features New Local lndustry The recent publication o! the 1948 edition o! the splendid catal- dfue, "Gladiaus qf Tomorrow" very definitcly establishes the fact that Bawmanville hàs become the centre o! a new and important in- dustry which already has inter- national connections and a wide' distribution of Gladiolus founda- tien stock. At Willow Acres, a fine farm adjacent ta, Bowmaniville along Soper's Creek, just nartb o! the Boys' Training Schoal, the pro- prietor, Fergus Morrili has suc- ceeded within a few years in bringing into production anc o! the best nurseries featuring glad- îolus ta be found anywvhere in On- tario. In his new catalogue Mr. Mor- nul lists and prices literally hun- dreds of varieties o! gladiolus that are leaders in this field through- out the world today. They fea- turc importations from as far away as Holland and Australia as well as domestic propagations from ail across Canada. Prepared te fill ail orders at home and abroad, sa long as stock is available, Mr. Morrili outlines in bis catalogue ail the details o! shipping requirements and a guar- antee cavering productivity. It is interesting ta note that one o! the varieties listcd was propagated by Dr. E. W. Sisson, Bowmanville, a consistent Canadian pM'ze winner. The 20-page catalogue with a 3- colon caver contains excellent pic- turcs of gladiaus sprays and is most cancisely dcpartmentalized. It was the creation o! The States- man job printing department. A recent letter ta Mr. Morrill from a leading firm in the gladiolus and allied fields states: "Congratulations on your catal- ogue. 1 think it is the finest look- ing catalogue I have yet seen pub- lished in Canada and it compares very favorably with any printed in the United States." - Our con- gratulations in turn ta Mr. Morrili for his energy and enterprise in boosting Bowmanville and Dur- ham County with anather popular and promising enterprîse. Black Markeieers Thrive on Conirols By Lewis Milligan Illegal traffic in liquar under prohibition was called "boot-leg- ging." Illegal traffic in ratianed food and other cammodities is known as "black - marketing." There is ne difference between the twa, and the cause is anc and the same - government restric- tions. During the war most people ac- cepted strict rationing as they ac- cepted other limitations cf their freedoma as necessary to the sal- vation o! their freedom for times o! peace. With the close of the war and the danger being passed, the people naturally expected te be reiievcd cf these restrictions sa that they could enjay the Yruits o! victory and return to the free lîfe for which they had fought and deprived themselves. The restric- tions could nat be removed im- mediately, and the people gener- ally exercised patience during the transition period; but the longer they remained in force, the less the public were inclined ta respect1 the law, and black marketà did a growing business. With the graduai removal cf food rationing and the lifting of contrais in Catiada the black mar- kets have been largely eliminated. In Bitain, howevcr, where ration- ing and priarities are even more stringent than during the war, the black markets have increased ta sucli an extent that they have gat beyond the contrai o! the contrai- ling government. In fact, black- marketing seems ta have develop- adit a sort o! game of bide-and- seek between the public and the gavcrnment inspectons, and the seekers are losing the game.

Box 622 Fort Hope, Ont. a. leading editorial, News of the World says: "It is a comnionplace of aur national life today that na sooner is a regulation introduced, then busy brains are thinking a way round it. Every new contrai wicLens the gap between the stand- ard of life enjoyed by the honest citizen and that enjoyed by those who seek ta 'dodge the column.' Docs the Minister of Foad really prctend that ail the thausands whose doorsteps are cluttered up with priority bottles are justly en- titled ta it? Hundreds of thaus- ands are today reluctantly laying up cars and motorcycles which providcd a littie relaxation in drab lives. Does the Minister of Fuel and Power rcally think that cvery car remaining on the road this winter will be engaged in es- sential work for which no other transport is available? Hundrcds of thousands are struggling ta keep homes going uncLer a crush- ing burden of incarne tax on ev- ery penny they earn. Does the Chancellor o! the Exchequer real- ly think that ail the money squan- dered today wherever the 'spivs' faregather, represents money lef t over after ail taxes have been wcll and truly paid?" That, says the editorial, is the picture of "Britain in 1947, and it is high time Ministers came down from their Cloud-Cuckoo Land of Malte-Believe in Whitehall and faced the facts." The editorial con- cludes: "Sa long as "M1inisters are prepared to, sit and sign orders, neither caring nor knowing whe- ther they can be properly enforc- ed, se long will it be profitable ta be dishonest. The mass o! people in this country are still law-abid- ing. The State must keep faith with them." Arthur Helliwcll, who writes a weekly column for The People, tells an amazing story of haw the black marketeers operate with impunity. He telrs of how, at the invitation of the B.B.C., he "brought ta the microphone' Jack Smith,' a self-confessed black mar- keteer, and persuaded him ta tell ten million listeners how he work- ed." This "Jack Smith" openly boasted that he was knowwi in the West End of London as the man "whe can get anything at any time," and he taiked frankly cf hîs deals in smuggled nylons, ciothing coupons and other gaods. As a resuit of this broadcast, the police received a shoal cf letters demanding "if Helliwell can find a black marketeer, why cant Scotland Yard?" Hclliwell dlaims that he does not know the real name o! "Jack Smith," that he met casualiy in a West End res- taurant a few hours before he went on the air. "In any case," says Helliweli, "as he toid me be- fore the broadcast, if the police did pick hlm up he has a perfect watertight alibi."' That this condition of things is nat confined to London is evid- enced by a letter I have just re- ceived fromn a friend in Liverpool, wha is a supporter o! the Labor Govcrnment. He says: "The food situation does not improve at ail, and we cannot buy clothes no matter how mnuch we need them, unless we get into the black mar- ket- and there is plenty of that, and flot only in clothes.. I know people who do flot know what it is ta go short of anything." A GOOD SPANKING (The Printed Word) In many homes today, the sound of breaking glass and the sad sight of soiled slip-covers and broken furniture are chcerfully ignored by deluded parents who have been carried away bZ child psychology. Junior is nat going ta be inhibited. It appears that enlightened par- ents don't say "doniU" but let Jun- iar's natural tendency ta destray be dissipated in childhood, s0 that he wîll be charmingly well adjust- econ maturity. Junior will nev- er be mature. He will always be just what he is. You get burnt playing with fire, and knifing your neighbor is fol- lowed swiftly by hangîng, so it seems only fitting and proper that general devilment around the house, and neighbarhood, shauld involve getting smacked, quickly, inevitably, and bard.
