Bowmanville, Oiitarlo GEO. W. JMMES, Ernoa A GREAT CANADIAN PASSES It is most difficuit for anyone, with mere words, to pay sultable tribute to Rt. Hon, W. L. Mackenzie King, a great Canadian, who passed away last week, and was buried to-day. His contribution to Canada and the world has been sa extensive that historians ten or twenty years from now will be in a better position ta assess bis worth than we who have lived durlng his active years. His name will stand among the ablest men that Canada has produced because he attained a record of public service which is unsurpassed throughout the British Commonwealth of Nations. He qualified as a statesman of the highest order, a politician of the shrewdest type, a scholar, an able administrator and par- liamentarian, and a calm, trusted and wise intermedîary, between the United States and Great Britain. In ail of these fields, he was supremfe, but possibly bis greatest gift was that he had a deeply-rooted con- cern for the welfare of the common man and put into practice bis ideas and ideals wbich have resulted in a much better standard of living for the average citizen. We join witb bis many admirers across Canada in paying our humble tribute to hlm. Canada is a mucb better place be- cause of bis life and work. He will not be forgotten! WE HATE TO BE DISTURBED, BUT- Most of us hate to think that our peaceful, comfortable way of living may be upset by another wal,. The tbought of being in unifarm or of having our sons and relatives in uniform is one we heart- ily dislîke. We like things as tbey are without any additional complications 4~ they can be avaided. It's normal, we sup- -pose, that it should be Sa. But, if we j7ead the signs correctly, it appears that within the near future we shall of nécess- jty make further sacrifices to ensure not just Our camfort and our freedom but our lives and the lives of those we hold dear. This is a disturbing thought and many .'of you probably will find it Sa distasteful ,'that you will stop reading because yau refuse ta be anything but resigned to whatever may came. The Korean war kertainly found the forces of almost every '*iember on aur side of the"Unlted Nations horribly unprepared for any worthwhile resistance. We had talked a good figbt :up to that time and the North Koreans or the Russians, whichever you prefer, called aur bluff and found us unable ta hieup ta aur publicity. One writer suggests that this Russian sponsored move is by no means a gamble and we are inclined ta agree. Only one of four alternatives could occur: (1) The United States would flot intervene, where- upon worldwide confidence in the security systemi based on America would callapse. (2) United States would intervene toa late and be defeated witb even worse resuits ta American prestige. (3) America (in order ta localize the canflict) mlgbt settie the affairs by allowing the Chinese Com- rùunists in the Security Council. (4) Amer- ica would have ta divert large farces f rom other more vital world centres in order ta win wbat would be a prolonged war, thus weakening centres such as Berlin. This, of course, presumes that the Russians have a very smart strategical plan for the eventual conquering af the world, a plan, the next stage of wbich tbey are naw in the process of launching. Now we are in a mess whether wè like it or not and aur future is involved in Korea as mucb as Is the future of the United States and the rest af the f ree peoplein th Unîtd Natons.-hat w Having any kind of a reputation ln bad.

Irhe prir<cIple value of çummer cot- tages han alwaya been to escape from the heat of the town. Those fortunate: people who spend their summers along the lake or the river can duck into, the water or *ip cool lime juice under a shade tree. They, get next ta nature and se the birds and feel the bugs. They learn ta rough It ih the country more or less. 0f coure alare number ci the cattagers hae nstalled running water with indoor plumblng. Lots more have taken their eiectric refrigerators and electric stoves along ta the country. .A number ai people have spent much time and money on interior decoratlng and exterlar landscaping., .These corni rts wauld appear ta us ta be hlghly desirable as long as the eter-. nal struggle ta keep .up with the Joneses is dropped for a couple of monthsa. But wben the competition gets tougb, it seemus the summer cottagers are defeating their own purpose ln cantlnuing the mad race. But in one thlng the summer cottag- *eshave gone further than defeating the purpase of establisbing a comiortable quiet place. Tbey have almoat ail pur- chased outboard mators. Now whill there are outboard mators in connection with almast ail the summer camps, most certainly ail the cottagers are ,not ln them every hour. Quiet Sun. day mornings At the cottage are noa langer possible. Just about everyone shuts bis window ta try ta keep the noise eut and evèn then sleep is seldom possible aiter nine a'clock in the morning. Earlier we sald the cottagers couid see the birds. This is true, but one can scarcely hear them anymore., -Napanée Express. COULD« CUT THIS LOSS Those motarists who have wondered why tbey shauld psy an extra premium an their insurance policies wben junior members af the family are allowed ta drive, got a straigbt answer a few days ago. It came £rom Ralph M. Sketch, a member af the executive committee af the Ail Canada Insprance Federation. Tbough they only make up 517oaofaur t9tal drivers, thase under 25,years ai age'cause aimost a third ai aur accidents, said Mr. Sketch, who went on ta explain: "Thet records show that the yaung felw whô bas just learned ta drive ls pretty good at firat. As be becomes mare famiiar witb drlving conditions ln gen- eral, be becomes mare cocky, more cer- tain tbat he can pull out of a tight situa- tion, more careless and more reckless. It la then that be starts causing accidents." If this were just a matter af dollars and cents we migbt be justified in sbrug- ging aur shoulders and charginig the extra premium off as a .necessary. expense. But accidents involve human life and human injuries and very,ý..often the vÏctlm la not the reckiess. driver at' ail. And there ls something that ca'n be done about it, too. In far too many cases soft-bearted parents continue ta let junior bave the car even after there is definite proof that he bas been driving recklessly. There may have been a littie grumbling over bis for dented fenders, or fine for speeding. But usuahly the head ai the bouse does the' paying and the young folk continue ta drive and enjoy their ailowances. Mare seriaus rnisbaps later might have been averted bad there been prompt and reasonable discipline at the first ex- hibition ai recklessness. -Financiai Post SWAT THAT FLY I There la one war whicb sbould neyer cease - the war against f lies, states a pamphlet issued by the Edinburgh, Scat- land, Public Health ]Jepartment. "Plies are detestable insects because tbey bave dirty habits, live an fiith, and sali the food we eat," the pamphlet states. "They carry disease germs from latrines and dung beaps and excrete or vomit themn' an ta the food in your larder and on yaur table. In this way files give people typhoid fever, dysentery and worms, ta mention a few diseases only. They carry the germs af the 'summer diarrhoea' which la s0 higbly fatal ta infants, and may play a part in the spread of poliomyeiitis." The Scott..h publication calîs for a never-ending war on flies, as dues Marg- aret E. Smith in an article "Tbe Fly: Enemy of Man" in the magazine HEALTH, publisbed by the Health League of Can- ada. Miss Smith, wbo is Director of the Nutrition Division of the Health League, says that any iiquid or salid food that a f ly bas been in contact witb la unfit for iuman consumption. In regard ta the passibility that flies have much ta do witb the spread of polio, Miss Smith quotes researchers who bave found in studied cases that milk contam- inated by files was either directly or in- directly the source ai the polio virus;.that the bouse f ly and the blow fly carried the virus on bath the outside and inside ai their bodies mors often than any other. species af insects investigated. Flies breed at such a pace that it has been estimated that even if only a smal p'roportion survive, the offspring ai one female bouse fly wiil in seven weeks num- ber 432,000. Sa, swat that fly - get rid ai hlm by any mneans, but get. rid af hlm - and protect your food and keep your garbage covered. Pliles are fiithy insects with dirty habits. Dirt spelîs disease, sa - banish the dirt and you will banish the dirt dis- ease. Rat free Alberta has found its f irst rats within its borders. Maybe this is a gone astray counter attack by the Russians who claimed the Americans were dropping patate bugs on Eastern Germany. - ---------.. -- - - ~ ~- - -4 n.Icsn, s,.. cuM, vl EdiorPublishes Correspondence -With Rt.

It wil Le recalled that The Stetesman, ôn more. than anc oc- casion, bas urgcd that something be donc ta essist the promotion af Mr. King's memoirs* Indeed, when Mr. King retîred fromf of- fice, we wrate ta hlm personelly in this cannection. There Is noth- ing we prize more hlghly than bis rcply, with a footnote in bis own hand in wh,ich he egreed that the stary ai events in bis cra would ne of greet inspiration ta the youth of Canada. In al aur personal contacts with Mr. King be recag- nbfrd the political independence in the course we bave long fol- ]owed ail'd he wrote: "Particularly do I eppreciate your editorial of fricndship and goodwill and 1 send you my kindest personel re- gards and ail good wishcs." Sa it is with grefft satisfaction thet the ecitar of The Statesman views the steps now beinLr taken ta fulfil the task we sa genuinely sought ta encourage bath in our editorial columns and in personal correspondence. Again we ex- press the hope that is sbered by ail Canadians of goodwill that Mr. King wili continue in good bealtb uritil bis memoirs are completed and indeed for many years efter that., Mr. Kixng campleted the structure. History wlU probably rate* this as Mr. Klng's greatest achievemeht in statesmansblp. For today Can- ada la a 'natian lnaial respects on the woz'¶d stage. In bis statement to the press Mr. King caunted bis main ach- ievement In office, that of pre- servIne national unlty durlng the lâte wer. We prefer 4.o rate this second ta that of completing Do- minion Status.

Historiens will find much ma- tierial ta sift out in trylng ta find, the answers ta Mr. King's general popularity with the Canadien el- ectorate. He was an intellectuel possessing more earned ecedemic degreès than any other leader in the bistory of Canada. He was a bachelor who secluded himseli ta the éxtent that probably the me- jarlty ai Canadians neyer saw bim. He became almost a legendary figure who yet held the intense loyalty of bis party followers and the long-susteined loyelty ai the electorate. It was the personal privilege af this editor ta nicet Mr. King many times and we can say that f ew excelled him in the warmth of bis greeting and the personal interest be displayed in his conversation. The man simp- ly radiated frlendliness. The record he left an Hansard is probably the real key to bis character and work. Whilé there ig much evidence of circumiocu- tion in many of his statements, they reflected his careful study an matters of bigh policy and bis dislike for causinLy ofience. Hence he took the rîsk of being misun- derstood yet resolutely carried bis policies. And be effirmed on the eve of bis retirern9nt bis be- lief that these policies were for the general good af the Canadian people. His long relgn confirma this' view. Two other key characteristics are notable in the career ai Mr. King. He brought ta the civil service a corps ai high-ranking talent whose brains' and persan- alities have few equals anywhere. Many were Rhodea Scbolars but they were "practical" men upon wham be cauld rely for sound ad- vice in shaping policies; then he passed judgment and set these Policies in motion. Finelly he et- ed as bis own "Gallup Poli." Se- cludcd in Ottawa be aeldam feul- ed to estimate carrectly the trend of publie opinion. He timed elec- tions with e master's tauch and complete confidence. It peid off in achieving the greatest record n Empire history. There will be universel hope that Mr. King will soon recover is impaired bealth naw that be s free iram such a long period of1 exacting duties. Our hope is that1 he will be spered meny years ta fashion bis notes and records inta 1 avolume af memoirs to be dedi- ceted to the people of Canada.

IVE ARE FACING A STORM Certainly it is high time for the Gavernment ta recognize the dan- ger af inflation which It thought finished and to avoid any meas- ures which would increase it; time for it ta consider what wil happen ta thië present precariaus balance in the national budget if defense expenditures rise; and time therefore to farget the as- sumptian that the civilian budget is et a minimum and ta explore every chance af economy In every department.% As a minimum the Government certainly should postpone, until the skies are cleared, eny major increase in expenditure apart from defense. Social reforms, bow- ever desireble in themselves, cen- not be safely undertaken et the risk of inadequate defense or ex- penditures which national econ- omy cennot afford.
