W. JAMES, Edf toi Ecitorials Are a Cinch We got more than a chuckle in reading the following aditorial in that excellent weekly, The ltort Eria Times-Review. No doulit many of our readars have had ai sirilar urge, as expressed in the editorial, to unload Borne thoughts from thair ievered and troubled brow, on an inno- cent and unsuspecting public, to take the place of the blasts and brain-storms the editor cishes out each week in this column. Anyway, here's what the Fort Erie aditor writes: Editorials are a cinch i Every day you meet the fellow who tells how ha aiteni considars writing tham-but he did flot get around ta it as yet.

Cusualties to Fishermen During the holiday season neariy every day thera are stories ini the newspapers tafllng of the wonderfl luck local and Anierican touriste are havlng fishing. Every district in the variauà and rnany vacation resorts in Ontario dalight ln boasting about the record catchas ai fish. There is, ai course, a local prida ini boasting ai aucli accomplishments, but back ai it, too, in many cases, is the desire for publicity ta attract other fiah-boving anglers ta spand their holidays and thoir money at thair ladge. Saidom doas ana sea publicity givan ta hazardous casualtias ai fishing. But the Pater- bora Examiner is the exception, for aiter de- voting about a caluxnn ta the many successiul. and record catchas ai maskinonge in the beau- tif ul Kawartha Lakes district, it ends up its iishing story with this paragraph: "In ratio ta the stap-up in fishing resulta comas the casualtias ta fisharmen.

Far ba it f rom us ta discouraga such a plea- sant diversion as fishing by raprinting this paragraphi1 Where Do You Stand In Eaming, Spending, Saving? This may saund strange in view ai the neyer- ending "beaf" ai peaple that thayra having a barrai ai trouble keaping thair heads aboya water in this day and age ai high living casts, but last year the average Canadian earned mare maney, spent more money, and wound up by saving mare money than ha did the year bafare. This may nat have appiied ta you as an individual, but it stands true for most Canad- ians and the source ai aur information is the authentic and reiabie Dominion Bureau ai Stat- istics. If you didn't fal in the category ai thasa wha were batter off in ail pecuniary ways in 1948 than in 1947, the following dry-as-dust but nanethaiass iliumninating paragraphs may nat cheer you but they should certainly prove that Canadians wera mighty wali off in a world ganeraliy beleaguered by f inancial wornies. In 1948, Canadians' personal incarnes total. lad $11,960,000,000 as campared with $10,390,- 000,000 which they mnade in 1947. Incidentaily, this has littie ta do with the comparison in ques- tion, but in 1939 Canadians oniy earned $4,29 1,. 000,000. In 1948, the people ai this country spent $10,- 000,000,000, or 83.6% ai their incarnes, on gaods and services. They saved $1,146,000,000 or 9.6% ai their incarnes. In 1947, by comparison, thay spent $8,949,000,000, oar 86.1% ai their in- carnas, and managed ta sava $650,000,000, or 6.2% ai what they took in. The fact is that, in 1948, althaugh Canad- ians spent more on goods and services than thay did in 1947, the proportion of their spend- ing ta their total incomes was less than it was the year before. And, furthermora, nat only wera they able ta sava more in 1948 than they did in 1947, but the proportion aif savings ta total earnings was greater in 1948. In taxes, the citizens af this country also had a break in 1948. In 1947, 7.7% ai their total personal incarne went ta the gavernment in the iarm ai direct taxes. Last year, this figura dropped ta 6.8%.

Sachar, tells of a benediction offered by a Negro who had been attendîng an inter-racial confer- ence. The Negro quoted the foi- lowing prayer from his unletter- ed grandfather: "Lord, wa ain't' wbat we want ta be; Lard, we ain't wbat we ought be; and Lard, we ain't what we're ganna be. 'But Lord, we's thankful that we ain't what we was." The proîundity af the prayer speaks for itself. It is a prayer that couid ha used by the United Nations. It could be used by a group af yaungsters attending a summer camp; it couid ha used by a coliege graduate, or, indeed, by any persan who defies fatalisn.
