In the Editor's Mail P.O. Box 806, Trenton, Ontario, Canada. February 25, 1950. Mr. Geo. W. James, Editor, James Publisbing Company, Bowmanville, Ontario. Dear Mr. Editor. Re under Editorial Notes, your issue of February 16th, copy of an edîtorial printed in the God- erich Signal Star" as advice to the apple growing industry: Would strongly recommend that both the "Goderich Signal Star" as originator of the editorial, and "The Canadian Statesman" re publisbing the article, should make some study of the apple ipdustry before breaking into wbat is supposed to be advisory print. For the information of your contemporary and yourself, the following are facts: The export apple market in Britain is gone for aIl time, not just for a very few years. Rea- son-Great Britain is producing twenty-six or twenty-seven mil- lion bushels of appfles a year, there is a potential increased pro- duction in Canada of five or six million bushels from young trees that have not yct came into bearing. Like any other industry that is over produced -in plant cap- acity, there is onl-3tanc answer and that is the removal of all trees of undesirable varieties and ahi trees that bave reached the age where production bas be- corne uneconomical. The writer bas just returned from the session of the Canadian Horticultuiral Council and not- withstanding the wisdom of the 'Goderich Signal Star," the apple growers across Canada are un- animous in the adoption of the tree removal policy. On several occasions the writeri bas read editorials in The States-i man an the apple growing in-1 dustry and bas previouisly been tempted to write you.

Bowmanville came out of the game dawn 20 points on the round of home and horne series with total points ta count. The taller, better bal- anced tcam from Peterborýo won the game bandily by 50-30. The locals made a gaod showing but the smoather passing and more accurate sbooting of their op- panents was evident from the start as they rahled up a 12-O lead in the first quarter. In the second quarter Bowman- ville came ta ife and matcbcd Peterbara point for point but the Petes' early lead stihi gave them a ]ead at haîf time of 23-12. In the second baif Peterboro kept pouring in the baskets as the final score of 50-30 indicated. The smooth passing attack and expert guarding somewbat baf- fled the B.H.S. boys and this combined with their sharp shoot- ing proved ta be the deciding factors. Gallagher's spectacular 21 point effort was bigh for the night and overshadowed the loss. Thomp- son was bigh scorer for Peterbara with 12 points while Northcott bad 11.

Junior Girls' ;asketball (By Wilma Richards> The first game of the two, with points to count, proved disastrous to Bowmanville as they met Pet- erboro at Peterboro, March 3rd. Our girls tried bard to combat Peterboro but were a little con- fused by the length of the floor. Even with this handicaD Bow- manville outclassed Peterboro in the first haîf with a narrow lead of 15-14. However, Peterboro were very determined to win and gained 6 points in the hast few minutes of the game to win 28-20. Lydie Bates was top scorer for B.H.S. with 13 points.'

Deacbman> Labor demands pensi ons, it is not satisfied with bigh wages al- ane. It wants ta retire at a reas- onable age, live comfortabhy everafter. Who doesn't? It's a pleasant thing ta do, when you do it out of your carnlngs. It's not quite sa reasonable when you ask others ta pay for it. Besides, if ail are ta be pensioned, the pension you get may cost more than it is worth. Costs pile up on these things especially when governments have anytbing ta do with them. The pensioners may find themselves with a "'pig ini the poke." If tbe. workers in industry are ta get pensions, s0 toa must the other workers in the vineyard. Wby shouhdn't the farmers bave them? There is nothing you can say about the contribution of la- bour ta the national income whicb cannat be said with equal truth about the farmer. If farm- er and labor are ta get pensions sbouldn't every other persan in the nation have a pension? Will it apphy ta women as well as men? Yes, it wilh. Women now have votes, statesmen listen wben women speak. If we pension thc men there is no rason why thc wamcn shouhdn't be pensioned al- so. Pensions for ahl may bave a pleasant, sound but there are lions in thc way. Let us stroil around in search of these beasts of prey. The first effeet wilh be ta raise prices. There is no escape from that dilemma. Higher prices will imit aur exports-restrict de- inand. Canada is an exparting country. If costs of production are ta be shoved up by definite action upon aur part, a formn of action which increases thecocst of production and therefore raises prices, there wîll be trouble for Canadian praducers. Costs wihl be higher - markets mare difficult ta find. Same industries wouid find it difficult ta raîse prices. There arc industries wbere the goods are not absolutely essential but would find a substantial mar- b ýU SOE PABLUM Mead's Pre-cooked Baby Cereal -- ket- in a -country where there is a high standard of living. This type of industry migbt fold under ncw conditions, prices would be beyond the capacity of Uic con- sumer ta pay. We bave been spending money for Family Alawances and Old Age Pensions but in the normal functianing of aur economie sys- tem the taxpayer is relieved of a part of the burden by the fact that prices risc and those in re- ceipt of the baunty receive in payment hess goods than tbey wouhd normalhy receive from the expenditure of the same sum of mancy. Conditions change, these obli- gations are fixed charges. We are nat inclined ta look at the road ahead. Who knows what will bappen tomorrow? Wars may came, we may need ta divert large sums of capital and labor ta the accomplisbment of other pur- poses. There may be deflation.. Wben that cames ta a rigid eco- nomy, one with a beavy load of fixed charges faces difficult tima- es. Prices may take a tumble- wben that bappens we faîl from a bigher altitude, it burts more. Industry in the United States is now confronted by a new problem. In a recent case before the National Labor Relations Board the decision was that the Inhand Steel Company could not change the provisions of its pen- sion system without bargaining with the employees. The pension was beld ta be deferred compen- 25e - 50c1 sation, was, in fact, a part of wages and subjecet ta collective bargaining. An appeal was made ta the Supreme Court but that body refused ta bear Uic case. Wc have in Canada many smafl industries. How would Uicy fare in these conditions? I have pointed out that pensions broadly applied throughout the country would exert an lnflationary pres- sure. There wouhd be a tendency. to broaden price fluctuations. These conditions wouhd be parti- cularly harmful ta small business. The fact is that the more rigid we make the structure theygeater will be the impact of cFangng. conditions. A free economy ad-; justs ta cbanging circumstances, a rigid economy will not adjust.' Besides there is no real means by wbich pensions, on a broad scale, can be carried out. Tbat is a story for another day. It will appear. at an early date.
