PAGE FOUR ~THE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVILLE. ONTARIO URDYMAC!2r,15 Inspiring and Challenging Message Delivered ai Trinity Evening Service Dy Welsh Born Rev. H. W. Williams The singing o! !aith-inspiring Psalms and the fOeloved and well known hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah"I to the Welsh tune of Cwm Rhonda prepared the Sunday evenlng congregation of Trinity United Churcb for the mnagnificent oratory o! the guest preacher, Welsb-born Rev. Hedd- Wynn M. Williams of the Welsb United Church, Toronto. 1Rev. Williams, who bas won numerous silver -trophies in speech contests and is a member o! the famous Bardic Circle of the Gorsedd of the National Eis- tedd!od of Wales, proved ta bis listeners bis unusual ability to handie the English language. But he did far more than that. He o!fered tbem a striking but sim- ple message o! the matcbless Master o! Mankind. Choosing a brie! portion of Paul's letter ta the church at Corintb, he based bis sermon upon the verse "But the preacb- ing of the Cross is ta tbem that perlsh, !oolisbness; but unto us who are called, it is the power of God." Mr. Williams then pro- ceëded ta point out the reasons that sa many people rejeet the Gospel o! Christ. Many feel that thÎ precepts of the Sermon on th Mount are far toa lofty ta be atjsined by weak humanity; oth- ers are afraid because the world will laugb and scof!; stili others claim tbat in a materialistic world we must be factual. Those wbo refuse to believe in Christ often dlaimi that it would be impossible for a Man wbo was crucified be- tween two thieves to be the Sa- viour o! the world. Mr. Williams warned the con-1 gregation of the fact that the Bible has said "Out of thy own1 mouth I will judge thee". Therej will corne a day when alI o! us will be stripped o! the reluctant-11 ly attended church services; the begrudged offerings, and the for- gotten prayer meetings. We still have to look aur-3elves in the eye, and be numbered among those tbat perisb. With a particular appeal ta the young people in the congregation Mr. Williams then proceeded ta point out that for those who were sincerely seeking for Truth and Life, the answer might be found in Christ wbo claimed that He was the Way, the Trutb and the Life. Even though tbe Cbristian is stripped of everything that most of us hold dear, friendships and worldly wealth, with Christ he stili bas everything ta live for. "Calvary is tbe historical set- ting, but eternity- is the compass of the Cross," said Mr. Williams. "It was on Calvary that God drew near ta man through His Son Jesus Christ, ta reveal His plan o! salvation. It was there that a King died, but 2,000 years later His followers know that He liv- es," hie continued. He questioned bis congregation when he said "What does a Christian see in the Cross? Is it mere timber? Rather, it is the love of God, tbe means of Salvation toalal the world. It is the place where evil w~as dethroned and life everlast- ing was born." "Only tbe power of the cross can bring about the new era" he concluded, "It xill corne from above in the crucified, jisen Sa- viour." The soloist o! tbe evening, Welsh-born Owen Nicholas added mucb ta the service by bis sing- ing of the familiar bymn "Lead Kindly Light." Most o! tbe congregation took the opportunity of participating in a popular feature of Trinity'si winter program, by attending the Fireside Hour wbicb followed thel service. One of the features of the program was a technicolor film of the beauties of the Cana- dian Rockies. Rev Williams, who was born and educated in the anthracite colliery distriét of South Wales, briefly told the congregation of the dangers wbicb the colliers must face in order to supply the consumer with coal. There is always the possibility that the roof of the mine may fali in at anytime. Or a mere spark £rom a hob-nail boot may ignite the gaseous atmospbere causing an explosion wbicb, would wipe out an entire colliery. Mr. Williams recalled an incident in his own homne toxvn in 1932 when 200 miners were wiped out by a flood- ed colliery. The men work near aid pitheads constantly, and there is always the danger that an un- derground lake will seep its way in, trapping those below the sur- face. Most miners face the fact that the greatest majority of coal workers contract silicosis sooner or later. The fine dust which is in the air aIl the time forms a flinty surface around the lungs, eventually developing into an in- curable form o! T.B. Rev. Williams took care ta point out ta his listeners that in spite of the extreme dangers of their occupation the Welsb miners were full of humour and optim- ism. He expresed bis desire ta return to the land of bis birtb ta spcnd the rest of bis life work- ing witb the Welsh miners, whose life is centred in their faith ini God. The ladies of the W.A. served a deliciaus lunch during the hap- py hour of fellowsbip which fol- lowed. What Can You Do? Accidents don't just happen- They are Committed. Prevention is the Only Cure! On your part, neyer miss the opportunity ta preach that most accidents are preventable. Back your local Safety League, auto- mobile-club and police force. Use your service clubs, community organizations and all the public- minded groups within y ou r churches and scbools. Identify yourself with school safety-patrol groups and give them every assistance .you can. Use your family, use your friends, neyer miss an opportunity ta sow the seed of Safety or to foster its growth. But action and example speak louder than words - and in the long run the ultimate and SURE safety factor must remain the responsibility of the individual driver.

Pensions for Labor This is the second of two articles dcaliîig witb the problemn (by R. J. Deacbman) In a previous article I dealt, in a general way, with the labor policy o! coirtain large industries in the Unitcd States. Some now pay pensions o! $100 a month ta those who retire at 65 years of age after a long period o! ser- vice. In rny story I pointed out some obvious facts. It could bard- ly be applicable ta industry as a whole. It would be impossible ta carry the load. there are many in- stances in which it would not be applicable. It could flot be paid ta those vbo are seasonally em- ployed but only ta those wbo are engaged at steady work. What bappens ta those wbo want ta enter industry in middle life,they cannot obtain the full pension at retiring age under the pay as we go plan. It will be ta the intcrcst o! industry ta emplay only the y ounger men. The youngcr men are rather indiffer- ent ta old age pcnsions-it is the older men who xvant them. The tendency on the part o! industry will be ta draw upon the younger men. The pension system will discriminate against age, it must do so. The. entire labor force ln the Dominion of Canada is now es- timated at 5000,000. This, af course, includes ail labor, no mat- ter how employed. It includes business and professional mcn, preachers, teacbers, lawyers, doc- tors, farmers, gardeners and ahl those who earn their living by the swveat of the brow or strain af the muscles. The adoption of any general pension policy on the part o! the gavernment would addi tre- mendously ta the taxes, raise a .major diÏficulty in times o! de- pression. It would have ta take into con- sideration the wide variations in industry. Thiere were 666,531 workers emnployed in Canadian industry in 1929, the payrol amounted ta $777291.000, by 1933 the number o! workers dropped ta 468,658 with earnings o! $436,247,000. It would be di!- ficuit for industry ta maintain a pension level under these condi- tions. The February issue o! Harper's Magazine, lias an article dealing With thiS question. It is entitled "The M\iri,c of Pensions." It was writteii by Mr. Peter F. Drucker. He is a xel-known contributor ta the Amierican magazines and deals largely with financal and econoniec topies. He has given this subjeet very careful consid- eraiion. 1-e înw cames out with the statement that practically al o! the pension schemes now in force arc' on-workable. The cast is far too high, the risk o! bank- ruptc 'y too great. Here are some o! the reasons given by Mr. Drucker for- bis present point of "'The contracts which settled tbe stec 1 strike and xvhichi are clearlv designed as the model for ail najor industries pravide, we have been told in the press re- Icascs, for pensions ta ail workers over sixt 'v-five years o! age wbo have been with their present employer f'or a certain length of time.

"This is a pay as you go palicy. The ten or twelve centss per man bour. wbich the employer t pays into the pension fund is just t about sufficient ta pay out theg promised pensions ta the menv now eligible. As soon as business S goes down, the contribution of thbl employer will go dawn too, as i1 fluctuates directly with employ- s ment. But, o! course, the num- s ber of people eligible for a pen- s sion does not go down wben or- S ders and employment decline. On tbe contrary they rise . . . as aider people take a reduced pen- sion rather than face unemplay- ment." The facts are obvious when we stop ta think about it. The un- ions are already trying ta force guarantees of payment no matter wbat the economie climate may be. That, o! course, is the way ta bankruptcy. "Tbere is" writes Mr. Drucker, "ionly ane way ta overcome the dangers ta the company, the eco- nomy and the employees, wbich are inherent in the pay as you go plan: that is funded pensions: "The moment a man takes out a if e insurance policy the insur- ance company begins ta buîld up a reserve fund out o! bis premium payments. This amount set aside must be large enough ta caver the entire insurance payment by the time the policy is expected ta fali duc. Tbe insurance company, in other words, "!unds" its fu- ture liability ta be able ta meet it at ah." The trouble with this plan Is that not many men, if tbey en- tered the pension scbeme in mid- dle life would be able ta set aside the reserve that would put their pension application in a solvent position. Definitely there are li- mitations ta any pension plan: "The main empbasis on aur policy," he writes, "will bave ta be on finding work the older peo- ple can do-workc in wbich they can be bath productive and hap- py. There is something to tbink about. Idleness, for a worker, is weariness o! the soul. We need a remedy which will provide those of advancing years witb productive work suited ta their capacity. Tbat, if it can be done, is the application o! common sense to a difficult problem. Protect Against Any Butter Price Change Right Hon. James G. Gardiner announced on March 8, that it was not anticipated that there would be any change in the seli- ing price of Government-held butter before the end of March. ,Mr. Gardiner also announced that if the Government did decide ta change its se]ling price down- ward on butter, those who biad purchased butter from the Gov-à ernment would be protected against loss resulting from the change ta the extent o! the stocks on hand.

Most vegetables, however, are pretty keen on a generaus amount o! sun but they have distinct likes and dislikes in the matter o! sail. For deep-rooted carrots, potatoes, etc., it is Important tbat the soils be fairly baose at least a foot down. Certain types prefer sandy soul ta day. But no matter what the soil is ta start with by a little planning and care one can change it fairly easily. Spread Them Out In most parts o! Canada it is Most for the Room Even a tiny 'vegetable garden 10 feet by 20 will give big re- turns with a littie planning and double crapping. In these small plots one is wise ta forget those bulky or spreading sort of things like potatoes, corn, squash or peas. One sbould concentrate on beans, carrots, beets, spinach, radlsh, lettuce, posslbly a haîf- dozen staked tomatoes and per- haps a hill or two of cucumbers trained over the boundary fence. None of these vegetables take Up much room. Beans, beets and carrots can be grown in rows only a foot apart, though an inch or so wîder will make cultivation easier, and 10 feet of any of themn will produce many meals for the average family. With some of the very early tbings like lettuce, radish and spinach double crop- ping can be practised. Plant these in rows, say, 18 inches apart, with rows of the later things - beets, beans, carrots, parsnips, etc., in between. By the Urne the latter require full room the other quick-maturing items will be out of the way. It is also possible ta have two cr'ops in one season, wbere such quick-grow-* ers as radish are followed in the same ground by late beets, carrots or beans. Somethlng WiII Grow No matter the location there 15 some flower or shrub that will thrive in it. Some flowers, vege- tables and certain varieties of grass actually prefer shade, some want acid soil rather than sweet, some like heavy clay better than' loamn or sand. The thing in planning is ta consider these special likes and dislikes, then ta select those plants that suit one's special location.

The trick is to make a succession o! sawings of such things as beets, beans. lettuce, radish, carrots, etc. It's a goad plan ta sow about a tbird o! the seed a week or so earlier than usual, then follow witb a third about the normal time, then a fortnight or so later plant the rest. This will spread the barvest out over many weeks. A still greater spread can be ob- tained by -using early, mnedium and late varieties. Next Week - first plantings, paths and roadways.
