W. JAMES. Editoz Everyone Can Have a Part By the purchase of T.B. Christmas Seals everyone can have a part in the. fight againat tuberculosis, a struggle in whîch a lot of graund has been gained but much romains to b. done. While it is only in recent years that a real effort has been made ta promote the sale of T.B. Seals in Bowmanville and district, they have been in existence for a goad many years and as resuit of the f unds raised it has been possible ta carry out curative and preventive work sa that the doath rate has been greatly reduced. Since the first mass cleest survey held here ,a f ew years ago, hundreda of residénts of town and community have had X-ray examinations with no cost to themselves, but these examina- tions are something which must be carried on from year to year. To be absolutely sure of ane's condition, one shauld be. examined once a year and a good many do that, while each year there are a good many others, children ,qrawing, up and newcomers to the community, * who have neyer had a chest examination. Proceeds from the sale of T.B. Seals help ta defray the cost of these examinations, whle considerablo money is expended on comforts for haspital patients and care of those who have been discharqcd. adIn other years the people of Bowmanville district bave responded generously ta this appeal directed by the Bowmanville Lions Club, and doubtless they will again do qo thus year in order that this great work may be carried on *and extonded. A Blow to Socialismn Xfter a trial extending aver nearly fil teen '-yeara, the electors of New Zealand have aver- 'thrawn their Labour Government, thus repbacing their stamp af disapprovai upon the sacialistic experiment in which the country was engaged. Inasmuch as the New Zealand brand of Socialism had boom held up as a model for ather cauntries, the result af the recent gerieral election will corne as a severe blaw toi the hopes cf Socialiats in other countries. It may even have a very important influence on the lorthcamimg general electian in Great Britain, -where the Labour Governmomt is belleved ta -. have lest a considerable part af its prestige in recent montha. -The New Zealand lesson is one that Can- adians may well take ta heart, nat only when they consider the C.C.F. platform for aocializlmg Inldustry, but also with respect ta the welfare stato proposed by left-wing elements in the *Liberty party. It is clear that the Liberal Government at Ottawa is f acing a seriaus rift within its owm ranka aver the sacialistic pro- *posais oalita more extreme elements. It is hoped - that the more moderato elementa will prevail and that free enterprise wiil not be further handi- capped by the excessively high taxation in- valved in the plana af pseudo-socialists in the gavornment's camp. *Simca the above cammonts were written the .Australian Labour Government, which bas boom in power for eight yeara, has also fallen by the waysido when it wos dol eated last welc 4by a Liberal-Country coalition party. Al af which indicates the pendulum is swingimg away - rom nocialism and other ew fandangaled "isms" back ta f ree onterprise and the dema- .cratic way of hf e. *The Brampton Conservator Marks 75th Anniversary A mastorpiece in Wveekly journaliam reached aur deak recently whem a copy af the. 75th 'anniversary issue cf The Brampton Conservator was received.

B. Chifl.y and placed in power a cocklition ef Liberalea nd Country Party menibers jwho made anti-sodal- ism the main plank in <heir canipaign. There in a moral for Canadians in the downf al of the Au"tralian socialists. Firat elected in 1941, they.- proceeded on ortiiodox socialiat limes, with the support of 'the majorlty ai the. Australian peo'ple, until Chifley became prime rinister in 1945, Fromn then on, the main purposOeofthtei goverrnment was ta gain contrai ai the commIercial 1b<'nking system, finally by nationalisation* legislakion that was upset by the courts. In the. procees, the governmnent loat the. support of the Australian people who doter. mined that no government should lay hand on their savings or net up bureaucratic lending policieis, where a socialist party button and socialist doctrines would determine cred.it ap- plicatiotis. The moral foi' Canadians is direct and simple: Beware a party that would get too close ta your privite bank account or expose it ta political scrutiny. There is a salutary esson for governments too: In action and in policy governments do well te keep even sa ýnuch as the fainteat shadow of the tax-gatherer fromn falling across a voter's bank book, or the faintest suspicion that his prying eye is there. Rural ChurCh Backbone of The Community Talk la circulatlng that more urban churches should be built and that, consequently, f ewer rural churches should be supported by the var- ious religious bodies. We- agree with the Cobourg Sentinel-Star when it says: This, indeed, seems very drastîc and un- wise. To deprive the rural areas of their littIe ivy-covered places of worship is ta cut out the very spirit of the rural cammunity. It is known that people are forsaking the land for the steel and cernent of cities: surely. ta close the country church doors could do no mare than hasten the exodus. On the other hand, what the ecclesiastical powers-that-be should be daing is lookting for means of encouraging the people ta stay an the land. Steps should ho taken ta rejuvenate the little churches such as have taken place in recent years wiih Maple Grave, Ebenezer, Courtice, Eldad and ather churches in Darling- ton Tawnship. There in nothing ta equal a little country church. Fram it emanates the liqht and found- atian of the community. Parents are not re- luctant ta bring their children alang ta the country church - they have no f ear af harsh frowns such as they might expect amid the pomp and circumnstanceoaf a big city cthedral. Mthers enter inta the work of the W.A. and the W.M.S., and an Sundays, nat oanly.mother and ciiildren, but father is canspicuous by his pre- sence. To discaurage this sorene spirit of friend. ship and ca-operation would be, indeed, dis- astrous ta whalesomne rural if e. The country church, as always, is a stop forward in cammunity if e. Comparison of Freight Rates With U.S. Railways freight rates, like the weather and taxes, are sornething which we aIl like te grumble about. Since, soonor or later, everyome fimds thort ho has poîd a freight bill, and since ne --ane ikes ta pay any bis excopt perhapg for luxuries, f reight rates are always too high - ini the opinion af the average citizen. The C.P.R. has gane te work an thia ideat, in its brief ta the Royal Commission on Trans- portation. The Company announces that froight rates in Canada are the lawest in the world, and much belaw thase in the United States. It paints out that a fright rate on wheat from Sakatoon ta Fort William af 26c corresponds with f reight rates for the same distance in the Unted States af 65c; that mater cars and agricuiturol mach- inery lrom Ontario ta the West, lumber lram British Columbia ta the East and practlcally al other commadities take lower rates in Canada thon in the United States; that the f reight rate on patatoos from Mine ta Buffalo in 91c per hundred pounda, while from New Brunswick te Toronto the rote is 46c per humdred paunds. bn addition, the C.P.R. gees on te argue that aIl this toik af helplng Canadians by ecanomic union with the United States is cer- toinly unwiae as far os lreight rates are con- cerned; that, iinder economic union, Canodians wouid pay probobly twice as much frelght rates as thoy now pay. Those are very interesting camrparisons, and it is ta be hoped that they wiil, ot least, b. wighed by the Canadian ppiblic, for it in rother new ta hear that transportation reolly conta much bass in this country thon in the United States. That la, the C.P.R. dlaims that if anyene in Western Canada, for example, linda thot ho ls paying mare for a mator car than it would cost acroas the border, the roason must be sorme ather one thon freight rates. The. C.P.R. dosa mot go on ta say what the roason la. However, theie is ane argument in the C.P.R. case which is unusuaily interesting. It la that, in moat cases. economic union wauld enly end in Canadian products movinq juat as for te the market as they do at presont, but aI much higher freight rotes. The Province afSakatchewan, in its Brief, argues thot the natural market for Western Can- adian cattle la in the United Statea, mot a long distance away in Eastern Canada. While the CAPR. do.. mat seem ta answer that particular argument, presumably the answer ls that o beel animal whîch is shipped acrass the barder lromn Saskatchewon daes mat reach its market, in amy r*al senne, a few miles over an lmaginory lime. It still han te go in the form of beef to New York, or Baltimore, or New Orleans, et freight rotes mnuch highsr thon for the movement af cattie and beel in Canada. Sa that, in the end, the. beel animal, by the time it reaches the table af the consumeor, ban travelled just os for in the United States as would have travelled in Canada, but at higher freight rates. A stotement cf this sort is interestig ta al Canadians, for it doos seen tot undermine the In Perfect Balance theory sa allen preached in Canada, that the people of tuis country wauld get groat advam- tages, in the matter of transportation, if Canada were simply annexed ta the United States. It seemae that the reverse is the case. 1 Every Canadian Has a Part to Play in Export Trade Every Canadian is directly aflected hy aur export trade, or in other words the business aur emplayers of industry' do with other countries. It is a personal matter which every one af us must adjust aur thimking, and further- more do our part ta overcomo tuis important obstacle ta avoid putting ourselves and others eut of a job, so commonly referred ta as un- employment. R. A. Bryce, President of the Camadian Chamber af Commerce, hit the.nail on the head in an address ho made in Winnipeg last week. when ho said: "the existence of this country as a growing power depends in a largo mea- sure on aur trade with other countries." Ho further went on ta say: "Canadians are forced by circumstamces ta recognize the tremendous importance of international ,and agricultural productivity and ta approciate the fact that the peace of the world is greatly dependent an the exchange af goods among the nations of the world." "It is part of aur job," he said, "ta see ta it that conditions favorable ta the sale af Canadian praducts in warld markets are pro- Vided. "Our ultimata objective must be the devel- epment and preservatian af freedom, nathing else that we do - nothing else that wo accamn- plish - amaunts ta anythîng unless we' can continue ta aporate in an atmosphere af free- dom. . .' Mr. Bryce said excessive taxation, bureau- cracy and governmental contrai "ail tend ta Economy Lop-sided Because People Are Living Too High The present "llop-sidediiess" of Canadian economny, particularly in the comparisons of industrial and agricultural wages and prices, was blasted -*by Senator W. A. Fraser in an address ta the Tren- tan Rotary Club, recently. I'Yau cannot balance eut the sale price of appies at $2.50 a bu- shel with the wages of a steel erector at $2.10 an hour," he stat- ed. "Nor, daes the situation add up with industrial workers work- ing five and a haif days a week at the present rates o! pay, as compared ta the necessity of farmers working seven days a week, with farm produce at its present levels." Another illustration the sena- tor used ta display the unbalance in values was the fact that the present price of an automobile was enough te buy f i!ty acres of good farm land. Farm Ecanamy Threatemed O! greateî warry, he feit, was the fact that industrial wage rates and heurs are graduahly creeping anta the farm, where it is impas- sible ta keep strict working haurs because o! the necessity o! doing seme work regardiess of the heur. Using a personal example, he re- ferred te clesing down his dairy herd business, because the herd manager and his men were nat praperly milking the cows during their week-end holiday periods. The herd was being turned eut te' pasture with . anly enough milk taken frorn them ta suppiy the workmen's personal needs, he said. Senator Fraser placed the blame for these conditians on what he termed the "bad habits" af the people of Canada. These, he said, were develeped during the war when incomes and velecity o! ex- change increased te a point where even the high taxes stili left enough -môney in circulation ta have everyone feel the e!fect e! prosperity. Spending was highly increpsed, he stated, and the yeuth o! the country got the idea life was jist a "bowl of cherries" and money came easily te those who just waited. Aduits, in their turn. seemed te forget the methods and habits upen which Canada was built. Want More For Less A great nlany people today want te, receive mare and more for do- ing less and less, the speaker as- serted, but he feit differently abeut it. "As far as I'm cencerned," he said, "I think a man who isnt ready ta throw himself int giving geod value in order te earn his Iivelihood and lay by something1 stille lreedom and consequently must be avoided." He said that new immigrants should be welcomed since an increasing papulation is a comtributîmg factor ta the "fullest passible de- velapmemt of aur great maturai resources and aur high standard af living." Sensible Proposai After their experience tuis year, moat people will say, "its about time," when they hear of a bill maw before the Sonate. This would have daylight saving start and end on the same day and hour throughout the country and also have the railways conform ta the general practico established. If one had set out deliberately ta croate most confusion, says The Fimancial Post, ho would have ta be. pretty smart ta give us something more complicated than the prosont arrangement. Some parts af the country dîd not have daylight saving at ail, some started much earlier than others. When it came ta ending the measuro there was the samo bock af umifarmity. During the war, dayllght saving came inta effect ail over Canada at the same timo and it alsa ended on a uniforma date. Sureiy what- ever authorities are necessary con got together and wark out a similar sensible arrangement for peacetime. Editorial Notes Weight of the United Church of Canada is being placed in apposition ta a movement in Toronto toward a wide-open Sunday. The United Church argan, The Observer, calls atten- tion ta the fact that the three Taranto daily newspapers are oppased ta a wide open Sunday, and the introduction af paid Sunday sport and entertainnient. for oid age, is a piker." In the speaker's apinian, it is the people who do not observe this feeling and who want "some- thing for nothing" that do the most complaining about present- dlay costs. He referred ta the man who drinks eight or ten battles of ".coke" and smokes two packages of cigarettes a day as the one who talks most about the high cost-of- living. Actualby, he feit, it is the cost of high-living that is basic- ally at fault and not the high cast- af-living. No country can be prosperous, Senator Fraser said, unless the farming carnmunity is prosperaus and, in Canada's case, that takes in fifty per cent af the population. Furthermore, ne country can be prosperaus, he said, when argan- ized labor is pushîng the wage structure in danger of falling down on their own heads as welb as the heads o! ail o! us. Plenty Not Enough "Plenty is net eneugh unless it is accampanied by the change o! motive which spreads pienty ta every peint o! need." This was the recent statemnent e! a Canadian !arm-machine ser- vice man fromn the Prairies whe, framn the security o! a good job. was forced inte the ranks of un- emplayment during the depres- sien 16 years aga. He lined up with other single unemployed and get food in the "saup kitchens" of that day. "We had no work," he said, "yet the bins o! the nation aver- !lomred with food. We were treat- ed ta a taste o! 'poverty in the midst cf plenty', and driven by the whip o! fear. Fear o! hunger, fear of cold and e! being le!t te die! Having known regimenta- tian on the bread ine, I learned ta hate the slavery which cornes !ramn state central."o Since then wve have been through the mast destructive war in history. Feur years after peace, we face surplus and unemploy- ment once more. But naw we cannot shirk the task o! distribut- ing plenty. The failure te face it wîli not mean just a few thousand unempieyed. We may hase aur freedom ta an ideohegy that uses hunger as a weapon, or find aur- selves in the atemic war. Te solve the probiem we must go te the root c! the difficulty- human greed. Greed blocks the channels of distribution. Class war is ne answer. Change of the human heart is the only answer. With this kind o! change, we can work together fer peaue, plenty, and arder with freedom. It oniy requires aur decision individual- ly and corporatelY te put our- sclves, aur time, aur maney and auir inventiveness ta work on the job. Royal Commission Advises New Plan To Train Teachers An emergency teachers' train- ing program was recommcnded in Ën interim repart by Ontario's loyal Commission an Ecrucation, released last week by Education Mînister Porter. The Commission urged estab- lishment of the emergcncy pro- gram ta cape with the increasing shortage o! qualified teachers in the province. It recommended that the Government provide fi- nancial assistance ta ciualifîed in- dividuals seeking ta take the course. The report recommended that the scheme start in September, 1950, amd that when it is initiated the current plan of training ele- memtary school teachers be dis- continued. Appointment of selection com- mittees was recommended ta in- terview all applicants and evalu- ate tlieir qualifications for train- ing under the emergency plan. To quallfy, candidates would have ta meet prescribed standards of health, character and citizen- ship and hold a.t least Grades il and 12 standing in education or equivalent from experience gain- cd during employment in other f ields.

Actually, any special gift or aptitude may rigbîly be regarded as a talent - and should be develaped. The ability ta make friends cas- ily, for instance, is anc of the most valuable of ahl talents. You may have more of this gift than yau think. If so, a little more self-con- fdence can work wonders in bring- ing that abiity ta the surface. Organizing ability is another important gift that perhaps you possess but haven't yet exploited. Think back. Have you ever suc- cessfully planned and executed any undertaking-even a social event?
