Bowmanville, Ontario GEO. W. JAMES, EDITORt IS CANADA BECOMING A WELFARE STATE? Is Canada rapidly becoming a welfare state? That is a question that thinking Canadians must answer for themselves and they must decide very soon if that is what they want their country to be. A welfare state is one in which the government assumes the responsibility.of caring for ail of ils citizens throughout their lives. The welfare state provides family allowances, unernployment insur- ance, health benefits, old age pensions and other social services. These it admhinisters through a huge bureaucratic systern. The money for thern cornes frorn heavy taxa- tion, much of which is "hidden" so that the people do flot realize that they are paying for the benefits bestowed upon themn by their kindly, paternalistic gov- ernment. Great Britain is operating as a welf are *tate and so is Soviet Russia, to mention only two. Both countries are plagued with hordes of government officiais and in- speclors. Is our government aiming at a welf are state for Canada? Do we want that? Canadians have always been highly in- dividualistie people, self-reliant, vigorous. 'They have recogxiized the need for looking after those of their numbers who are un- able to care for thernselves. Do they want to be cared for by their government when they do not need that care? It is axiomatic that the more - the people expect their government to do for them, the less individual freedom those people have. Are we willing to sacrifice pur freedom, or at least a large part of it, ~or a mess of governmental pottage? Canadians must decide. If they want. àt welf are state, they are well on the road to havi.ng one. If they don't it is time >y ie nade that clear to their representa- ives,-4n parlianient. HOW TO ATTRACT NEW INDUSTRIES TO TOWN The steps that should be taken to attract new industry to a community will be the subject of a one-day municipal in- dustrial promotional conference to be held in Lindsay January 26. The conference is being sponsored by the Trade and Industry Branch of the Ontario Deparîrnent of Planning and Development. Representatives of municipal councils, industrial committees and chambers of commerce from the communities in the region including Bowmanville have been invited 10 attend. Bowmanville should be represented at this important meeting to see what impetus is needed to attract industries to our town. Other lakeshore towns have been getting new industries in recent years while our business men and other citizens sit complacently by without enough inlerest or energy to keep alive a Chamber- of Commerce. Il is expected thal expérts from the provincial departrnent will be the speakers for the day. DANGER 0F BECOMING A SOFT GENERATION Here are a few excerpts frorn an address we read this week which are worth passing on to our readers for thoughtful consideration and action: "Compared with people in other parts of the world, we in this country, have had il very good. We have had prosperity, an abundance of food and clothing, and ahi the advantages that modern science can bestow 10 improve our health and pro- vide comfort. While ahl this is good, I see in il certain potential dangers. A danger that we will want 10 ive unto ourselves and keep everything for ourselves.. A danger of cornplacency that stems from selfishness and self-interest. A danger of becoming a sof t generation, which ulti- mately can only mean disintegration." "We must ive our Christianity twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The principies we ieamn on Sunday must be put mbt effect iii our home, our office, our factory and even in our recrea- tion. We must be as diligent and con- sistent in practicing the prînciples of our Christian Democracy as the Communist is in the practice of the tenets of Commun- Îsm. Our religious principies must be a 1I feel that in the future there will be two main forces in this worid - Con- xnunisrn and Christianity. If we wish 10 pieserve our way of life, which gives us liberty, the sanctity of our homes, and ail that is decent and good, we must make an individual, personal effort to preserve t *i ils eighl-sixth birlhday this year. In four- teen years the Confederation xiii be a century old. Throughout our history so far al significant advance and developrnent have been the producl of the f ree market- econ- omy operated by private enterprise. What Canada has done s0 far is merely a preamble. Provided we continue to build on the free rnarket-economy in- dustrial potentiality is literally incalcul- able. By the end of the twentielh century Canada inevilably wilI be the centre and pivot of the British Commonwealth of Nations which wil] remain the onIv en- during association lînking ail the Contin- ents and most of the races of mankind. Canada's inherilance of the main burden of the Commonwealth xii ensure the permanent partnership of the Common- wealth and the United States with the rest of the free world., - 8 In the Dim and Distant Past From The Statesman Files it. We cannot depend on ourselves alonie but must look to and depend on God for is Support.", "We nieed fore1he New Year a strong moral courage; a renewed faith in God, that will enable us 10 see beyond the mere, material world about us; wilh il will corne hope. Above all these we need charity, which will cause us .10 treat our fellow men as brothers in Christ, in spite of race, colour or creed. This is Chrislianily's fundamental doctrine and the underlying basis of our way of life." WHY ARE SCHOOL TAXES HIGHER? This is a common question being asked these days. The blunt answer is: "We are not satisfied with the plain build- ing of a generation or so ago and the plainer roorns and equipment. Now many think a school is 100 primitive unless il has an elaborate and expensive auditor- ium, a gyrnnasium and swirnring pool. We have buses to bring the children 10 school and take thern home. We have elaborate and special rooms filled with more elaborate equiprnent to teach sew- ing, cooking and carpentry, skills that children earlier in the,çentury were ex- pected to learn aI home. The citizenis are dernanding ail these modern frilîs tb be added to the teaching of the 3 R's. So is il any wonder that our school taxes have increased? Now some taxpayers are askîng: Is il paying off in better schoolîng and betlcr citizenship? Here are the startling comments one prominent educationist gives 10 this con- traversial stibject: Education today lacks body, soul and spirit, Dr. G. P. Glrnpur, president of Mc- Master University, told the Canadian Headmasters Association in St. Catharines hast week. Dr. Gilmour said that mass education and the increased diversity of knowhedge have contributed 10 a lack of cohesion or body in education, have "neutralized" the religious elernents which once existed and have destroyed the spirit of belonging 10 an academic cornrnunity. Graduates of many large universilies mîght be described as "acadernics anony- mous" for they had no sense of commun- ity. Religious training had become a gen- erality of platitudes in the public educa- lion systern, and this might have serious, results. "An ethicecut off from ils roots is not likely to be strong enough b ftand up against marxist dialectical materialism, which is a religion without any ethic," he said. SECRET BALLOT BLACK EYE TO LAeOR LEADERS Austrahia is experimenting success- fully with measures thal' guarantee free voting for Trade Unionisîs. The idea is to apply the normal rules of the secret ballot bo Trade Union elections and policy references. Thus is democracy întroduced int Trade Union affairs. In Canada voling in Trade Unions both for candidates and for policies is too oflten inf luenced by pressure and threats. The only way to have really free voting is bo have il secret and under independent control. The policital party' that adopts this policy in the corning federal elections no doubt will attract the venorn of the Trade Union hierarchy but there will be ample compensation in the support of *many thousands of Trade Union members once they understaond what is at stake. DRIFTING TOWARDS MONOPOLISM Dairy industry in Ontario provides an interesting example of the way in which government monopolism encourages busi- ness, says The Letter-Review, Fort Erie.
