Ottawa. Bowmanville, Ontario GEO. W. MAMES, Eion SMALL COMMUNITIES FAVORED Citizens who are flot interested enough in their cornmunity to give active support to their' Chamber of Commerce might change their xnînds after reading the fol- lowing experience: An interesting recent statement deals with the decentralization policy of a large U.S. manufacturer of electric products, whereby its plants have been located in twenty communities in seven-states, with an average of slightly more than 1,000 employees per plant. One object of the Sylvanie Company is to have an operation that the local manager cari handie on a somewhat personal basis, knowing by name most 9f the employees of the plant. With an operation of this size, it has been possible in many instances to place the company's plants in small communities. According to 'the treasurer, the com- pany has found that this practice of locat- ing in small communities has certain ad- vantages. "For one thing there is less social discrimination in small places- be- tween people of different income levels. People live dloser together. When people go ta the same church, and their children go to the same school, ihey get to know each other pretty well. We feel that when aur managers can know their employees and vice versa, our industrial relations will be on a better plane. "Also, in small communities our plants become important factors in the local emn- ployment situation - sometimes the most important factor. Not only do our em- ployees depend on us -for their livelihood, but the whole economy of the community is wrapped up in our wel-being.... We do flot want the responsibility of running any town in which we operate. That be- longs to the people who live there. On the other land, we feel that our people who work there have to do their share in making the place a good one in which to live." WHAT DOES IT PROFIT A MAN? The often intelligent and mainly well- rneaning folk who run a slow fever at any mention of the word "profit" remain un- moved by such a word as "growth." They seem to be blandly unaware that the one is but the symbol and evidence of -the other. Who would plant wheat if the return were grain for grain! ,jWho would farm if the earth yielded no increment? How would men live, much less prosper, if ail outlay of energy, thought, or' daring produced no surplus.and offered no re- ward?% In the abstract we are ready to admit this. It is only when we corne to'sowing m.ney that we corne upon the ugly impli- cation we have given to the thought of profit: a gain unrighteously taken from somneone else. Some people, torn between this assumption and their innate know- ledge that profit is law of progress, have tried to rationalize their thinking. If the worker, they argue, were to receive the whole return for his effort then the curse would be taken away frorm this much- confused word. Granted. a completely primitive soc- iety,* that argument could'hardly be dis- puted. The increase in the grain planted and reaped with his own handi belonged ta those hands. The fellow farmer who developed a crude plaw, and so increased the return, bettered- his position wlthout changing the justice of the argument. From there, however. it becomes more effective. and to the ,cAnital that clevised and created the tools. These are the true and rightful beneficiaries ci profit&a. MUNICIPALITIES ARC ENTITLED TO A SHARE 0F GAS TAX Quite a Juss has been made over the more or lesJ regular annual transfers of publie funds f rom provincial ta municipal authorities. Mayors and aldermen have been profuse in their thanks. There has been much talk of gifts; generosity, and so oni. In some cases the provincial gov- ernment people seem .ta have conf used themselves with Santa Claus., The only Santa Claus in this, or any other case where public funds are in- volved, declares The Financial Post, is the taxpayer. He is the only cdntributor. No matter what terms we use, these transactions between provincial and mun- icipal governments are merely transfers of money supplied by the taxpayer.' And certainly ta some. of this the municipal authorities have as much right as the pro- vincial. The gasoline tax is an example. Every- body who owns a car or truck contributes and contributes handsomely. Some of these vehicles neyer run a mile outside their own municipality and with at leadst three quarters of them the great bulk of their travelling is within the local limnits on local streets buiît and maintained by the local authorities. Yet the provincial authorities collect ail the gas tax. It is only f air that this revenue be shared but let's do it without ail this nonsense about gifts and generos- ity. It is the taxpayers' money thet is being handed around. LOOKING AT SOCIAL SECURITY FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES These days theword "secutity" is on every lip and is popular with beadline writers - it bas came ta mean protection against misfortune, insurance against aid age, comments the sage who writes the editorials in the Pembroke Observer. Its evolution is interesting. In earlier days it had something to do with piggy banks and pennies put away for a rainy day. In time it meant sticking ta one job because a rolling stone gathers no mass. Then ten years ago ail the world heard about "social security" wben Sir William Beveridge proposed bis revalu- tionary plan for public welfare in Britain. Taday it is the f avorite word af in- surance companies. They dlaim the more insurance you buy, the mare security for yourself - and for your famihy if your need for earthly security should came ta an Ubrupt end. Each indivîdual looks on it from .a different point of view. The rich man sees security as a picture of bimsel1f clipping coupons and taking trips ta Florida. The working man thinks about it as the days when he makes the hast payment on the mortgage and retires on pension ta bis flower;garden.' Sucb secupity is f ine - as long as it remains a comfortable thing and doesn't become an endless quest for mare material possessions. But the man wbo, in the name of security, piles up dollar upon dollar for money'e sake ahane, is forgetting ta live today. Before long be will discover that be has more f aitb in bis money than in bimself. That is when too much "security" results in a feeling of insecurity. He may be a man wbo sticks forever ta a dull Job altbougb adventure beckons in a distant land. But he dare flot take a chance because he wilh forfeit what be regards as security. He is the man with money who is afraid ta invest in his country's deveiop- ment because hée bas lost the courage of bis pioneer forefathers. He is the farmer who won't grow a new kind af wbeat because it might f ail him. Perhaps for real security the middle rnroadis best. atuirally it'--s w+itar- Canada, is increasing with every year. The worker bas twenty years more of life to-day than he had right ta expect in'1912. Quite ob'ioushy, whatever else we are doiniz, e are flot working ourselves ta death.

Jack- son. Cenadian ecanamist. Nub af Mr. Jackson'. analysis is that DBS figures indicate that If average personal incarne ini- creeses by mare than 2 per cent per annum, campa nded, the re- suit will be higher prices for con- sumer goods . . . or, inflation. The DBS figures show that, measured in terms ai physical volume, Caneda's grass national product in the tbree-year period 1927-29 ta the like thrce-year period 1948-50, grew by 3 per cent per ycar campounded. "This i. equivalent ta doubling Cenada's grass national product in .about 23 yeers, a world's record, percentege-wise," Mr. Jackson said. "In the same period, physical production per inan-hour increas- cd at an average annuel rate ai 2 per cent carnpoundcd, mainly be- cause af teçhnological improve- ments and greater investment in more efficient machines. "But Canadiens chose ta take part of the resulting benefits in leisure-shortening the average work week-so the physicel vol- ume ai production per man-year rase by anly 11/' per cent. "'Meanwhile, population in- creased by 1 ', per cent per yeer compounded. "Combinetion o! these twa figures gives us the increase in the physical volume ai Cenada's grass national production, aver- ehl, by 3 per cent. "Assuming future growth in Canada's productivity per man- hour at the same rate, av-erage personal incarne could increase by 2 per cent per year compaund- cd without creating inflation. "Real incarnes cen only risc if there arc increases in production per man-bour. Improvernent in aur standard of living cen anly came tramn increases in the na- tional production. "In turn, increases in produc- tion per men-hour requires con- tinuous investrnent of sevings ta procure mare modern, mare ef- ficient machines, s0 the passible increase in production per man- hour is limîtcd by the rate at wbich we cen save and invest. "Normally, savings are money retained and invcsted by corpor- ations or individuels. "As corporations, individuels or as a nation we have the choice of saving or nat seving or spending pest sevings. In ather words, wc can decide ta go ahead; stand stili, or go backwerds. "In Canada, $5 af savings and ncw investment are required each year ta praduce $1 o! permanent addition annuel output. "Thus the 3 per cent average annuel increese in physical vol- urne af Cenada's total output dur- ing the pest gencretion requircd thet Canadiens should invest (5 multiplicd by 3) about 15 per cent ai aur grass national product.
