PAGE TWO THE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVILLE. ONTARIO TTT4~DAY SEPT. Itli. 1948 Education of Our Children Our Best National Investment School opening tîme is here again which prompts us ta think of education, its values, and the rec'son why we send our children ta school. The Canadian Teachers' Federation chal- lenges us with some thoughts concerning ýade- quate financing of our system of educatian. "About two per cent of the national incarne is spent on Education," says the Federation. "This is lesa than the people of Canada spend an lquor or cigarettes alone. It is a relctively Irisignificant part of the cost of living. "Our children and future citizens deserve far more consideraion than this. The schools equipment. buildings and teachers form the most important part of the child's environment at the age when his whole character, abilities and outlook are being moulded. "It has been said that Canada has bound- less natural resources. Our nation's future de- pends. therefore, on the wise use of these re- spurces- by aur other great asset-our people. Developing the abilities and character o! aur future population must take first place among al national investments. There is no other use for aur taxes that brings more return per dollar ex- pended." The Federation asks. "Are you satisfied with the achool facilities available ta your children? and with the number cf really fine and able peo- pIe wha are gaing into the teaching profession? Also do you belietve that democracy can f unctian properly only if the opportunity for an adequate education la open ta every citizen, rich or poor. in city or country, regardless of creed or ancestry? Doubling Canada's budget for education is a practical and desirable objective. The money ia there; it simply requires fairer and more bus- inesa-like distribution among local, provincial and- national gavernments.' As a citizen you con demand this. It is your children's mnalien- :1able right ta have as good an education as can be abtained anywhere in Canada or anywhere else in the world." Rev. W. Frank BnistrA t 0f Magazine Article The July issue of the influential magazine, "Think" contains a very thoughtful article by Lt. Col. (Rev.) W. F. Banister, O.B.E., the title o! which, "In An Age cf Worry" most appropri- ately introduces reasoned views an how best ta overcome unnecessary and inidiaus cares. i j theais is that, "Warry is one of the greatest curses aff licting the human race." His argument is that a return ta reliance upon the teachings of the Saviaur is the key ta recapturing equable minds and sane vxews are extremely necessary in this troubled post-war period. Biblical quotations f rom Jesus and St. Paul are used ef!ectively ta show that untroubled minds secure the restfulness that inspires cour- age. The philosaphy cf Sancho Panza is also introduced and the author quotes his experience when asked ta say a few words ta Canadian :troops as ffiey are about ta embark on the in- 'vasion a! Normandy. He opened the Bible cas- ualIy and fQund this inspiring precept: "When thou passeth thraugh the waters, I will go with ihee.- *Col. Banister concludes his powerful article :with a coU tao Faith as millions shrink in fear ~and man's f aith is failing. He observes: "We 'are called upan, those of us with !aith, ta so live ihat others wha are worried may be calmed by aur example." Jesus said: "La. I arn with thee' ,always." It is a great sermon in a fine maga- ýzine. "Think" is published monthly by the Inter- ýnational Business Machines Corp. which ia head- ted by the !amous business leader Thomas J. ~Watson. Ils maathead quotea Elbert Hubbard: "'Responsibilities gravitale ta the persan who can shoulder themn.' It is a magazine af inspira- 4in from caver ta caver. It is a leader in its field tcday. Rev. Baister is a former minister ai St. I'aul's United Church, Bowmanville, and is now porstor o! Simpson Avenue United Church, Tor- pnto. During the war he was Senior Protestant Chaolain cf the Second Canadian Corps. He iece!ved the Order cf the-British Empire for mer- toriaus service. ~Utabliahed 1854 wltb which I, incarpoiated Tb l'. owmmvMfe News. 'Th.

Citizens Show Lack of Interest In Municipal Aff airs %Some weeks ago, this poper printed an edi. tonial discussing the need of eclucatian for citizen- shiD. This editorial dlealt exclusively with the deplorable lassitude on tia part of the average citizen in shauldering his responsibility as a vo- ter and thus an active participant in the govern- ment of our country. Since that lime this marked disinteresl has'become noticeably apparent clos- or ta home, in the municipal fu-nctioning of the town itself. Less than 50 ratepayers turned out for the municipal nominations last year. 542 cast votes out of a possible 2,000 for the election of the members ta the Board o! Educetion, December 5, 1947. Townspeople are conspicuous for their absence at aIl counicil meetings. An anatysis ai this deplorable condition ex- poses the individuel guilty of one of the greatest crimes possible in a country strivinq ta make democracy supreme cisinterest. To accuse any one residernt or raup of purposely being dis- loyal ta Bowmanvilla would be considered inane and yet the facts show conolusively where the guilt lies. Accusations always give rise ta excuses cond in this case, the time factor seems ta be respon- sible for the leck of interest in town affairs. nevertheless, the minutes and even hours spent or wasted in criticizir'g tlho. measures taken by the tawn fatbers could provo unbelievably benefi- cial in determining the whys and wherefores of municipal gcvernment. Council meetings should be attended and their reports f ollowed in the newspaner. Your criticism should be brought personally ta the memicers of the clounicil and your fullest suoooDrt g*ven ta projects an the municipal agenda. The most capable of men could not be suc- cessful in positions as mrayor or counicillors, with the town's cilizens holdng a policy af complote indiff erence. December will ac-oan vitness the annuel munzcipal election. Now is the time ta begin considering whom ycu wîsh to be in contrai cf town affairs. Fol]ow the pDlici'.s odvacated by the men now in the co':ncil and decide whether or not they should be rclu.rned for another yeer. Attend the mnun dc n.nrminaf aons. Then, when the election day comcs o.e-scise your franchise and vote.

C.C.P., and that the two parties wiil represent 1he Socialist farces in Canada at the next federal electian. There iane need for a coalition betw.en the Liberal and Progressive-Conservazîive parties in order ta defeat these comblned forces of Social- ism, so for as the total popular voeois con- cerned; but there la need for unity amang the anti-sacialist farces, or snme representative me- tbod of vollng, to prevent the combined forces af tb.
