-7-- Our editorial of a few weeks ago headed "Architects of Ruin in Our Midst" referring ta British Socialists, the C.C. F'ers. and Comnmunists in Canada has caused a bit of an upheaval in some quarters. For we have been receiving let- ters, articles, visits to the editor's sanctumn fromn party maguis and demands for extra copies of The Statesman by local C.C.F. stalwarts of that particular issue. To top it off in this tirade of denun- ciation the Toronto Star Weekly with its 400,000 copies weekiy (no, that's the Daily Star, the Star Weekiy has over 800,000 copies, the iargest circulation of any newspaper in Canada) blossoms forth in one of its characteristie saf t saap editoriais which periodically they play up between elections ta make overtures ta C.C.F. opinion. This particular editorial the Star Weekly heads "The C.C.F. Is Not Conimunist" will likely be put down by some political observers as anc of the Star's overtures designed, no doubt, ta recapture C.C.F. readers they may have lost by undue diligence about the Liberals. So we discount any arguments in their editorial in favor of a stimulus ta cir- culation. At least we have been told such tactics have been used by some publishers. However, coming back ta aur editorial we see no reason for retracting any part of it. Maybe we are stubborn, ignorant or biased -in aur opinions, as same have accused us. With regard ta the C.C.F. and the Communists no anc can deny that they are bath "collectivist;"' they bath advocate the state awnership and opera- tion of the means of produètion and dis- tribution. To be fair we admit the dif- Jerence in theory is that the Communists would achieve their purpase by force, FARMERS FAVOR ST. LAWRENCE PROJECT "If city and town folks want ta know What the rural people are thinkîng on somne of the everyday problems they shouid read their findings in the weekly Farm Forum reports appearing in The Statesman. It was interesting ta note o! the 542 Ontario Farm Forums reporting on the St. Lawrence Seaway project and its prospective effects on the economy of Canada, 95% of the groups were in ful agreement on its benefits ta their own sections of the country and the nation, 1%¼% expected adverse resuits ta them, and 3%5> were divided in their opinions. Verdicts of the majority was: cheaper transportation; lower costs for exports and Imports, reduced freight costs in their own regionâ; large increase in industrial em- jployment, with substantial gains in popu- lation and the domestic market for farm products. Apparentiy mast Forums overlooked the opportunity seized by Central Smith, probably visuaiizing the ear of gavern- mient, ta assert: "Let's get an with the job, even if we have ta develap the seaway witheut help from the United States." Forums generaliy affirmed that the ueaway would be an asset in apening up Central Canada, pramate the expansion o! iran are development and the steel in- dustry, afford facility of mavement in de- fence, if war ever came, and contribute an important new source o! electric power. iAN INDISPENSABLE REFERENCE BOOK It arrived at the editor's sanctum last week and although over a century old it is ever new and welcomed as a most indispensable companion. Yes, you guess- ed correctly, it's the Canadian Almanac and Directory for 1953, which is actually in its lO6th year of publication and has grown from a small pamphlet to more than 800 pages of detailed directories. As Canada grew, so did this compendium of information on Canadian affairs. Each year, every item of its thousands of listings is so carefuily revised that the publication enjoys an enviable reputation for accuracy, and is accepted as the stand- ard reference Weork wherever men and women require information about Canada and Canadians. In large and small offices, libraries, homes, sehools and colleges, the Canadian Almanac and Directory is extremely use- fui for checking addresses, spellings, and precîse titles of government officiais, as- sociation executives, etc. Even a cursory examination of the Directory, will illustrate the varied and qbt %unabran n tae1nf Estfxblxshed 1854 wth which i Incorporated The.Ilowmeinvile News, The Newcastle !ndej,.nd.iif and The Orono Nws 98 Years' Continuous Service fo the Town' ot Bowmanville and Durham County AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER (UREAU SUESCRIPTION RATES $300 a Year, strictly ini advance $4.00 a Year in the United States Fublishod by THE JAMES PUBLISHING COMPANY Authorimed au Secoand Clos Mail Pont Ofte.

IAMES, EDrTos whereas the C.C.F. the ballot box. seek change through Nevertheless, as bath parties arecal- lectivist, the extreme left wing of the C.C.F. merges readiiy with the right wing of the Commnunists. Also where organized labar is militantiy Communist, the C.C.F. invariably is dloser ta the Communists than ini areas where labor is moderate. Communist-dominated Unions have more power relatively in B.C. than in Ontario; sa we find the C.C.F. and the Communists dloser together in B.C. than in Ontario. Indeed, in B.C. we are inclined ta believe the "popular front" idea xiii be a main feature of the approaching provincial election, when the C.C.F. and the L.P.P. (Communists) wiil try ta evict the Socred Government. Another example of C.C.F. - Commun- ist ca-aperatian is reflected by the foreign policy statements of the C.C.F. in the Saskatchewan Provincial Election in 1952. They cailed for armistice in Korea, recognition of Communist China, and the release of Canada from "Wall Street" domination.0 The Regina Manifesta is still "the basic document," "the policy charter" of the C.C,,'. and, as such, was re-affirmed at their '1952 convention in Toronto, The Regina Manifesta works up ta this con- clusion - "No C.C.F. Government in Canada wiil rest content until it has eradicated capitaiism." Oh, boy, if aid Karl Marx knew this he surely would have turned over in his grave and heaved a sigh of satisfied relief that his communistic teachings were 50 well observed by the C.C.F. party in Canada. authoritative information it provides con- cerning institutions, customs and tariffs, government and other officiais, as well as many other subjects. The Canadian Almanac and Directory is an indispensable reference work in any office or library and may be purchased at your local book store, fully case bound for $9.50. NEWSPRINT UP $10 PER TON Just when publishers of weekly and daily newspapers had calmed down after rejoicing over the fact that Finance Min- ister Abbott had eventually knocked off the 10% sales tax on newsprint in his budget speech, aiong cames a letter the following week from the manufacturers of paper advising the publishers that the price o! newsprint wiil be increased $10 a ton effective April 1, 1953. This natural- ly put a cloud on the socalled "Sunshine Budget" as far as publishers are con- cerned. Under the increase, the basic price of newsprint in Canada will be $122 a ton, but with variations below and above that figure in variaus parts of Canada. CHOOSE YOUR OWN FAMILY DOCTOR The Canadian Medical Association urges every Canadian family ta choose its own f amily doctor - "bef are they need him in a hurry." "It is very important that your doctor gain some familiarity wîth you and your family, that he see you in your home, know something about your job, and have an opportunity ta assess your tempera- ment and the personalities of those who inhabit your house," points aut the med- ical association spokesman. "AIl of these factors help him ta treat you more in- telligently when you are sick and ta strengthen that intangible but vital bond known as the 'dactor-patient relation- ship'." Canadians are a restiess lot and as we move about we have ta find a new physic- ian at intervals. The advice o! friends and neighbours may be sought or the sec- retary o! the local medical society will provîde the names of available physicians in your neighbourhood. The Canadian Medical Association assures the public that standards of competence are main- tained by the medical iicensing authorities. It only romains for the individual ta find a physîcian whose personaiity is congenial with7 his own. "Your family doctor can look after most o! the ilis which may beset you, and when you require the skiil of a speciaiist, he wiil be your best guide ta the proper consulant," the National Health Week statement continues. "The practice of seif-diagnosis and the seeking out o! a different specialist for every symptom is nat only uninteiligent but expensive, and you will gain much by selecting a medical adviser who knows you and assumes re- sponsibiiity for your health." OBSERVATIONS AND OPINIONS A community is like a ship; everyane ought ta be prepared ta take the helm. If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character. If there is beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmany in the home, there will be order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, there wîli be peace in the xvorld. --Chinese Proverb The Greeks lost their independence xvhen thev adopted Socialism; the Romnans saw thoir republic collapse when they embraccd it.

Unlike Janus, who couid see in bath directions, we can see only in one - behind. Tbe past is ours and it will remain with us "wbile incmorx' hoids a seat in this distracted globe." We tbink of time as divided into ýe tbree dimensions: past. present erand future. But we are really Id only consciaus of two - the past and the present, and these twvo asare momentarily merging into ah ne. No sooner do we realize the ce. present than it becomes part of of the irrevocable past. sr The present is the only actual he reality, the only substance with et. which we cao work, for it is malleable like tbe red-bot iran on the anvil, or plastic like the dlay 3on a potter's wbeel. The shape o! tbings ta came is largely deter- mined by xvhat we do or fail ta ýn do witb the present. This is ;y, especially true o! youth when is time *eems ta move slowly and ke the things we work with are more k.pliable. "The tboughts o! youtb uare long, long thoughts," and tyouth can shape and reshape the ie stuf! witb wbich it works. As we grow aider time flies, life is ib more urgent and calîs for decision ýdand action. 0h f course there are aiways cir- cumstances over wbich neither t_ mice nor men bave any contrai. V_ But even if aur foresigbt were as ýe good as aur hiodsight we would be fia better off, for it we couid a foresee everytbing that was gaing Lta happen ta us in the future we )r could doa notbiog about it, because it would be as fixed as tbe past. ýd We would become fatalists and -_ resign ourselves ta the inevitable, -or we could pratest like the Irish- man who said if he knew where ihe was going ta die he wouldn't go there. Curiousity about the future and tbte desire ta peep ino it is as 'sIod as the Witcb of Endor whom ýKing Saul consulted ta foreknow baw the battle would go an the ,following day. The advance in- Il formation he got did not help him e ta avert the utter defeat wbich he no doubt, in bis own mmnd, knew 'was inevitabie. The wily witch hwas a tbought-reader and she was -probably aware o! ail the cir- Scumstances. She knew tbat the King would flot have came ta consult ber if he bad been sure of victary an the morrow, and she read the future in bis face wbicb revealed the cowardly fear in bis heart. There is a kind o! fear that acts as an alert and puts us on aur guard against obviaus dangers; but there is a morbid and paralys- ing fear that imagines every bush ta be a bear. The-re do sem ta be a lot o! Russian bears in tbe bushes these days and nights, and they are not ail imaginary,, but we need not be afraid of tbemn. Tbey are put tbere ta scare us ino impotence, ta make it appear that Communismn is, wbat the Soviet press dlaims it ta be, "An irresistible movement that is sweeping over the wbole world." Only aur fear can ren- der it irresistible. That fear is being expressed in feverish agita- tion for all kinds of schemes for gaveroment contrai and State- provided social securitv, whicb can onlv end in the Slave-State of which the scbemners profess ta be afraid. In facing the future, wbatever ' it rnav hc, xve have nothin« ta be afraid o! but aur fears. There is nothing new in the present xvorld unrest and struggle for nower. Two bundred vears ago Edmîind Burke found the same condition wben hie wroto: "To complain o! the age wo live in, ta murmur at the present possessors of power, ta lament the past, ta conceive extravagant hopes o! the future, are the common dispositions o! the greatest part of! maniniid." Man kind is macle un of individuals, and it is as individuais that we face the New X'Year. Let us face it without fr'ar: "Trust no future, howe'er pîraIsanu! Let the dead past bury its drad!
