Aftei a "sulent" journey, they arrivei at the school about 4, aftd immed. iately after, the Senior boys play. *-d. At the conclusion of this garni 19he teams were taken by Mr. W E E L wv- J. MorriSon (a former principal o! B.HS.) thnough a building, bousing cblldren between 4 and 7. The girls were ihnilled at the is sight o! the donnitories, each bcd i-with is own array o! doils. ] Thn ie grlswere taken ta e m.aintbuilding and given a de- ghtful supper. Following this, nMn.

Monison also told us ibat sorne of thein girls in the commercial class can type 60 wards a minute. There's a chah- ienge to the Commercial aI B.H. 3. After being shown the audi- ý orium with its movie pnojector, , he girls went ta change in the tresidence, adjacent ta the new, arge gym. Since returning many have tried ta talk an their fingers, but with little success. What struck us rnost were the happy faces of ahI, and the air of friendliness towards the B.H.S.

IHer idea-not to have too lop- sided a score, as evidently the B.H.S. gais were 'better than their oppanents, stili the final score was 24-14 for B.H.S. Bates and CAN DIA Buttery played their usual good CI ame, netting 8 points each, while GENER L ELETRICIarg Dustan surprised many by htxng three beauties. The re- maining basket was won by an impossible shot by Lorna Sudds.

It is a great star: 47,150,000 Arnericans pay this ta. -mnany af them a rdinary peopl( just like ourselves. One hundred o! these bav incomes in excess of a millioi dollars a year. In fact, it is sharp ]y in excess. They average out a $1,721,00 but they get thein cornb, eut a bit when incomne tax au thorities are through with themn they take $149,600,000 whicl leaves the boys with only $22, 500,000 to spenci on ather taxe: and their own amusements. This is, 'by ahl means, the crearn of the buneh but there are somc( n lower grades who are not toýc badly off. Consider the incornex of those who have $50,000 and over, they numben 46,0-00 and have a total income *af $4,468,. 800,000 but aften the incomne tax nan bas been around they find hein burdens lightened. They are lef t with a relatively smnall sumn, ,nly $1,714,400,000. Let's Redistribute It Suddenhy I had a bright idea, 1 [ecided to leave each one af these vea]thy gentlemen - those with incomes of $50,000 or more, an incomne af $10,000 a year. Then Iwould take what's heft and dis- tribute it. My interest was amnong te under-dogs - those wîth in- ornes of $5,000 and less. In the United States there are 44,734,000 elonging to that group. When I .igured it out I was able to hand ý28 to every single one af themn. rhey would be richer by a littie ver 50c a week throughout the ehole year. Surely they wauld ;ed me ta the Senate for that, men if I arn a Canadian. Should I have distributed, that noney? I had a righteous feeling vhen I was doing it but I amrn ot ýsure af myseif now. That 50c nthe pockets of sa many would )e af little use ta themn. Million- res are always trying ta make nore. In doing Sa they help ta :ep the wheels aI industry turn- ng. The money they invest is a îwerful factor in the national ýonomy, it represents the lead- g business and financial men aI he country. If you were to stnip hem of their wealth and sud- xnly reduced them ta $10,000 a ,ar they would ibe abliged ta iuidate a great many af their ivestments and would have ta ro out of some of thein present Ies of activity. Capital is a Good Servant Capital may be a bad master ut it is a good servant and the ralth af the nation depends, to :me extent, an the volumes of ivestrnent. Those in the nicher oups are now heavy contnibu- )rs to income taxes. If they were ipped of their incarne they îuld pay less. The loss would ve ta be met by higher taxes on others.

Mrs. Mountjoy played a pheasing piano sala. Mns. M. L. Davy gave a veryl camprehensive and interesting ne-' view of Louis Bromfiehd's baok "Malabar Farm." Mn. Bromfield is a successful authar and a suc- cessful farmer wha maintains that anything he did is within the abil- ity of any farmen, but states that the day a! small mixed farrns is about aven and that ta be success- fnl, as well as the industrialist, mnust specialize. In seven yeans Mn. Bromfield bas proved ibat crops af ail kinds, if grown an balanced soul, will successfully nesist bligbt disease and insects. A good farmer can bave a higher incarne than 85% af other occu- pations. Mrs. Davy gave a short and amusing chanacten sketch af Sylvesfer the bull, wha is the anly character in the book.

There's a lot of talk about demo- cracy, about making democnacy work and about the need for "teaching" it to ahl citizens. In the town a.f Thonold, they're practicing what most other people are just preaching.. Thorold brought to its midst over a hun- dned displaced persons; many of them people who had for years been kicked around by both Russians and Germans. But would democracy mean anything to .them; anything more than freedom fnom concentration camps, policemen, hunger and misery? Some of Thonold's businessmen decided to make sure it did. So now Thorold D.P.'s and their wives get inviteci ta Thorold homes. They get introduced around in cornrunity life. They learn English andi about aur in- stitutions in special classes at the school. We cani understand that. In thei National Hockey League, no defenseman has, ever won the Lady Byng Trophy, given partlyi for gentlemanly conduct on thei !ce.

Of s9 Io 'Y' lxt -, a eh p- t] at M )s "We are willing ta pay for the pnivilege of living in a demo- cracy," reports a Simcoe fanm for- uum and this was the concensus of opinion of forum groups through- out Ontaria hast week. There were qualifications, of course. Let's get back ta factors affecting income, peculian to farrning. Chimatie conditions and plant and animal diseases ranked high. Rural folk were loud in abjections t.0 the fact that farm wives are not allawed suflicient exemption considering the work they do in farrn operations. Market fluctuations are alsoaa maj on factor, also government- controlhed prices and long hours of labour. A Grey County forum feels that the amount aI capital required ta stant farming, un- stabilized farm pnices, and crop and animal lasses are important,i and that if they are expected to pay income tax they must be pro- tected in farm openations to the point af cost af productions, plus a fain profit. In Lanark, along with athen farmers say: "Ceuhings on farm products should be lift- Most othen gnoups felt all these factors shouhd be especially con- sidered in income tax law. The feeling was expressed that higher exemptions were in ander. This would encourage yaung larmers starting farming, and wouhd be more fair ta urban workens as welh. Other groups think farm- ens already pay a heavy tax an SPRING CURTAINS THAT NE VER NEED IRONING <'Krenn," Plastic Curtains These dainty curtaîns look deli- cate but can take a great deal of punishment.

A Wellington forum spoke for a rnajoriiy when they said, "«farm- ers, work much longer hours in order to earn enaugh to pay the sanie tax as others." Yes, farmers do think income tax is a fair method of taxation because persns pay accrding ta, incarne. However, they pointed out many factors should be con- sidered in orden ta make At mare fair. The tax forms therselves came ln for a deal of criticlsm in that they are complicated and unfair. Considering many reports reaching this office, it la evident rural people do flot clearly under- stand regulations regarding tarin income tax. We feel it would b. unfair to publicize wrong ixnpres.. sions. The above comments have been received from the Ontario Farrn Radio Forum, 71 King St. West, Toronto. 9A HEAD OFFICE WATERLOO, ONT.
