Trinlty Young People was held Monday with Citizenship Conveners Betty Sisson and Gladys Brooks in charge. To'begin our meeting Rev. S. R. Henderson led in a short sing-song, followed by aur guest speaker. To, introduce aur special speak- er was Betty Sisson. Miss Mar- janie Couch, an ecbange teacher fin England last year, told many interesting hîghlights of the Brit- ish Isles and Europe. She toid o! the different things and places she visited and saw while in Eng- land. Her adventures begin in Loa- don. Buckingham Palace was naturaliy one a! the drawing points. Miss Couch stated that the Palace wasn't attractive iin appearance, but a fine grey stotie building with a high steel fence around it. One o! the fine at- 'tractions is the changing o! the guard, which can be seen from the gate. One of the things that was quite surprising in their tradition, Miss Couch found out, was the fact that the English practically net'- er sang the national anthem. But, these people have very great re- spect for the Royal Family. Westminster Abbey is another attraction in London. There are many interesting things in the Abbey. The. beautiful staîned glass window in the east side o! the Abbey. Another is the Cor- anation chair in which monarchs for many hundreds o! years have been crowned. The noted Tower o! London is another attraction o! London. The main featyre of the Tower is the Crown Jewels, the crowns o! the Royal Famîly worn at corona- tions. The King's crown is said ta weigh about seven pounds. There is an old legend about the ravens at the top of the Tow- er. It is said that if ail the rav- ens leave. the Tower wili fail, alzo the whole o! London will co- lapse. Many believe this, for during the war, there was only one raven left and someane,jiear- ing this, sent a pair tai the Tower. The Waxworks museumn was visited next. In this museum there are the figures o! the Roy- al Famiiy and ail world famous people. In the ibasement there is the Chamber o! Horrors. In here are life size figures showing many of the medieval ways. There were people at the guillotine and the gallaws. Miss Couch stated it seemed almost true ta i! e.' The buildings were not the only interesting parts o! England. There were acres o! park land in the centre o! the city. Not only these but Miss Couch said it was quite interesting ta just watch the many people pass by on the streets. These people are o! many nations-Englisb, Egyptian, Indians and many more. There were the sidewalk artists, aiso the peddlers, selling their wares on the sidewalk. If a policeman happens along, these peddlers just start moving along, for their trade is quite unlawful on the streets. In the city, there are many theatres, where there are well known plays witb famous actors and actresses. There is also the ballet and opera, including- even the movies. One o! the fine points o! the city was Cathedrai City, with the fine cathedrals with their beau- tiful stained glass windows. Dur- ing the war these windows were removed and stored in safekeep- ing! Tbey are stili being re- placed. Their countryside is very beau- tif ul. The roads were quite winding, and along the roads were the large fences, marking the boundary o! the fields. There THE FIRST STEEL girder o! the new United Nations headquar- ters in New York reaches skyward. Construction workers take time out ta hall the event, in April 1949, by displàying U.N.'s officiai blue-and-white flag from the#top o! a sturdy 20-foot steel pilar. CORNERSTONE 0F UN, permanent headquarters lu cemented Into place by U.N. Secretary-Generai Trygve Lie, wielding trowel at ceremony on United Nations Day, 24 October 1949. Ready with mortar is architeet Wallace I. Harrison, who directed planning. SIX MONTHIS LATER, the main office building of the United Na- tions permanent headquarters bail taken shape. Most of the extenior w~as comipleted, but the interior reiczined to b. *lahed. is quite a variety of scenery. The homes of the English were a bit different than ours. Their homes are flot as up-to-date as ours. There aren't any base- ments, so naturally they haven't any central heating. In every room of their homes they bave fireplaces. Miss Couch visited the Con-1 tinent three times during her stay, last Christmas bemng spent with the Millers in Geneva. At Easter, Miss Couch visited the manland again, this time on a tour of Europ5e. First stop was Holland. where it was just as fiat as seen in pictures. There are many windmills. Some o! the Dutch live in the bottom part of the wlndmills. The Dutch people are very dlean, even though their homes are la one room. 'Miss Couch next visited Bel- gium, then on ta Switzerland. The Swiss homes are very dlean although the barn and bouse are ail ini one building. Next stop was in Italy. While there Miss Couch visited the church where- in is the painting of The Last Supper. It is said that the paint- ing is fading, due ta the sun and weather, as there hadn't been any roof. Miss Couch visited Venice, Florence and then Rame. She said that Rame was quite di!- ferent from the other cities, the buildings were built very close together and quite unattractive. In Rame, she visited the Opera. She also visited the Leaning Tow- er of Pisa and Nice, finally headlng back ta Parish. Miss Couch stated that the food on the Continent was much bet- ter, for there is very littie ration- ing. In England almost every- thing is on ration. The climax of Miss Cauch's year arrived when the garden party was heid in the bonour o! the exehange teachers in Eng- land, by Lady Astor. The Queen attended this garden party. It was good ta return home and as stated, we should be proud o! our fine uprising country. Gladys Brooks thanked Miss Couch for coming and sharing the evening with us. On October 30 the Presbytery are holding a Hallowe'en party. It is at the Arena in town and everyone is ta wear a costume. We will be looking for you, for we are expecting a good turnout. ENFIELD Mr. and Mrs. L.. Rahm, Rich- mond Hill, at the Prescott homes. Mr. and Mrs. Kirk Watson and Douglas.

Alice Aldsworth, beloved wife o! the late Wil- liam Henry Nichols, Courtice, in her 8lst year. Whiie flot in good health for eight years, Mrs. Nich- ols had been about as usual un- til taken seriously iii a month ago. A daughter o! the late Mr. and Mrs. William Aldsworth, the de- ceased was born in Berkshire, England, on May 25, 1870.

(Copyrighted) Minorities Possibly More Dangerous Than Majorities (By . J. Deachman) Senator J. W. de B. Farris of Vancouver "m ade a speech in the Senate the other day which should be read by every thought- fui Canadian. The subject, of course. was the railway strike. The men are now back at work. The issue, in the end, wiil be de- cided with calmness and reason, the fire bas died out, thlat was inevitable. The Senate is a much better place than the House of Com- mons in which to discuss these questions.- A member of the Commons could hardly take an unbiased view if he feit that his seat would thereby be endan- gered. "We have been told," said Mr. F'arris, "that one of the principle reasons why the Senate was set up was to protect minority groups. I would suggest that the Senate also exists for the protection of majorities against the power of minorities."l Minorities are possibly more dangerous than majorities. There is calm strength in a majority. a touchiness in the irritated im- portance of a group. Then the Senator deait with the facts: "There are, said he, "two points directly at issue. The first was a demand for an in- crease in wages of 7 cents an hour. There was one group that wanted an increase of 10 cents an hour . . . The second essential point at issue was the demand that after the 7- cents an hour increase had been granted, the working hours of the men shouid be reduced from 48 hours a week to 40 hours a week. with 48 hours pay." He then turned to some com- ments* of Mr. Justice Wilson, Chairman of a Conciliation Board which dealt with this question: "In making these comparisons," he wrote, "it must be remember- ed that the incidentai advant- ages enjoyed by railworkers are generaliy greater than those granted to other Canadian wbrk- ers. Records show that the con- tinuity of employment in the railroad industry is reiativeiy high, which must have the effect of increasing average annuai earnings. The empioyees have the benefit of pension plans. They and their families are en- titled to a considerabie measure of free transportation. Certain employees are given free housing and others free uniforms. In the aggregate these factors add con- siderable to the advantage of railway employn-elit." He then refers ta wages paidi to other groups of workers and makes this comment: "Consideration of the wages earned by these, the largest ,,goups of Canadian workers, con- vinces this board that the pro- posais of the raiiworkers are un- reasonable. To accept them must resuit in giving an unmerited preference to railworkers over ail other Canadian workers. The continuance of such an advant- age would be unfair to other workers. The inevitable resuit of such a great increase in rail wage scales must be attempts by other groups to achieve new standards. The'disparities to be corrected would be so great that their rectification would resuit in an entirely new wage scale for the wSble country" The proposais of Senator Far- ris were submitted, not as some- thing to 13e achieved at this ses- sion, but perhaps next year. He asked first for a secret -ballot be- fore a strike could be calied. He pointed out that they have this in his owni PrcQvince of British Columbia. Not only do they have the secret ballot but the voting is supervised by government offici- ais. Labor objects to this on the ground that it is a reflection on the integrity of the unions. Then why do we have the sécret'ballot for Federal and Provincial eiec- tions? Ridiculous scenes took place in the old days o! open vot- ing. Labor gains nothing from the defence of that archaic con- ception. sided) argument by the labor unions based an inadequate in- formation. Then foflowed this suggestion by Senator Farris: "My suggestion is," he said, "that befare a strike ballot is sent out it should be submitted ta the Department of Labour, and if in future we have a Labour Court, it should be placed before that bodîy. Upon receipt o! the ballot. the department should "at once cali in the other parties ta the dispute ta inquire whether the ballot sets forth ahl the facts o! the case. In the end, the ballot should be passed upon by the De- partment o! Labour, înstead o! by one party ta the issue." In support o! bis contention Senator Farris quoted a telegram which he had received from the Saskatchewan Employers' Associ- ation which read as follows: "The text o! the ballot should Iý made public and the resuits published by districts. Such legisiation would take no privil- ege.away !rom anyone but would give to workers the demacratic right ta express their true opini- ons without fear a! intimidation from union afficers and organiz- ers." SThe final suggestion from the Senator was the creation o! a Labour Court ta decide thepe issues.' In other disputes the facts can be placed before a court with competent judges. Why should not the same process' be appiied ta a labour dispute. We have reached a stage in aur private re- lationships where we no longer resort ta physical conflict as a means o! settling disputes. Is it flot reasonabie ta assume that judges, in a position ta bring out ail the facts. could very weli ren- der a verdict which would do justice toalal? Evdn though at times some party or parties might feel aggrie- ved the great mass o! the wôrk- ers would gain f ar mare than they could hope ta obtain from any victôry won by a long strike -inf]icting, as it wauld, definite losses on sa many. There may have been a time when strikes did little damage but naw we have a closely integrated economy. Things which happen in British Colum- bia or Newfoundiand make their impact upon every province of the Dominion. We can end strikes if we want ta end them and it would be highly ta the advant- age of the nation as -a whole and to the would-be strikers if we found the means ta accompliah this purpose.
