Ottawa. Bowmanville, Ontario GEO. W. JAMES, EDITOEI OUTSTANDING EXAMPLES 0F DEMOCRACY IN ACTION Early this month the Easter Seal Com- rnittee of the Bowmanville Rotary Club sent out over 7,000 appeals for contribu- tions to citizens of West Durham on behaif of the crippled children of Ontario. Along with Easter Seals a "pink" envelope was enclosed and the recipients are ré- quested to place their contributions in the self -addressed enveiope-whatever your heart prompts you to give-and mail it as soon as possible. We commend this Easter, Seal appeal to the generous support of al citizens of the community. Judging by the response to date this appeal is f inding general favor here as it has always done. In the sale of Easter Seals is revealed and furthered an example which brings together many helping hands, from many vocations and professions. Many benefit. The purpose of the voluntary co-operation is the improvement of the lot of handi- capped youngsters, children with deform- ities from birth or crippled by disease or accident. To them is held out a helping hand; for them is provided an opportunity of correcting their conditions or teaching them to live happier and self-sustaining lives despite the conditions. The Ontario Society for Crippled Children offers the rallying point for more than 180 service clubs throughout the province who seli seals to finance the Society's work. But it does flot stop there. The clubs, in their various cities, towns or townships, co-operate with the eighteen field nurses, ail accredited orthopaedic specialists, in seeking out deserving child- ren for examination by specialists. Teach- ers, clergymen, districthealth off icers and members of the medical profession are joined with them in this work. The society enlists the services of top- flight surgeons and-physicians who volun- teer their skill s. It operates both Perm- anent and occasional clinies where child- ren are assembled. It provides special care, summer camps, even special furn- iture for particularly needy cases. This is the best aspect of democracy. It is democracy in action. If you haven't already returned your pink envelope do it now, enclosing your contribution. THE ROAD TO DEPRESSION New wage demands being formulated by the big labor federations indicate that these huge organizations are no longer content bo demand ahl the wealth they produce. Thev now want ail that tbe entire economy produces, dlaims John Atkins in The Rural Scene. They remind one of the rich man's son who, afler being provided with al bis needs during bis infancy, and ail his desires during bis boyhood, declared, on reaching manhood, Ihal he wouid be satis- fied with notbing iess than the enitire income of the wboie famiiy. Since Ibese demands go far beyond the abilily of the employers ta pay, we are forced to conclude that an attempt wilI be made bo have bbe taxpayers f oot part of the bill. How many of our public men can be depended on bo resist Ibis demand? And how many of oui- private citizens wiil gel out and support those who do? Il is unfortunate that Ibis drive for higber wvages should be launcbed at a time wvhen export prices are declining and are likel.v b continue declining tli they reach a level competitive xih prices in other counitries. If we are capable o! learning from our own experience, we shouid know that it wvas the ioss of oui, export markets thal broughit the depression to Canada a quarter of a centur\ a go; and that wc neyer recovcred from that depression tli %ve aeain found mar-kets for otîr exports. We are losing our exporl markets today because oui- prices are too higb; and the wage demands o! organized labor are drivinic tlem birher stili. This is the road ta depression-de- manding more pay for less work. THE RULE 0F LIFE A recent biography reveals ils subject, Lord Acton, as one of the greatesl minds of modern limes. A large part of the world today is worried about losing ils liberty. Il is in- teresting ta recail Acton's idea of liberty and ils value ta humanitv. We quate: "If happiness is the end of Society, then liberty is superfluous . . . Libertv is not the power of doing w~hatl we like,*but the rieht of being able la do whaî we ought." Aclon said that ever\l age had wiî- nessed man's struggle for freedom, but man would neyer f ind it within social or political frameworks alone. Athenian lib- erty failed, for instance, because it be- longed "to an age which possessed no f ixed standard of right and wrong," and modern democracies would also fail if they insisted that "the will of man, flot the will of God, was the rule of life." True political freedom, Acton insisted, depended on quite another principle - "the principle that ail political authorities must be tested and reformed according to a code which was not made by man." WHAT, POLICE STATE TELEVISION! The fact that private enterprise is to be exciuded from television operation in ail major cities of Canada does flot seem to have aroused much public con- cern. The usuai reaction seems to be: "Let the radio people worry about that- it's their problem." Perhaps there would be greater con- cern if the matter were regarded in its proper significance; that no private citizen is to be permitted to engage in the dissem- ination of news and information by tele- vision in any of the major centres of pop- ulation. Phrased that way, it sounds more like police state methods-which, in fact, it is. MASTERING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE An example of the difficulties New Canadians have in mastering the English language was shown by the interpretation which one new citizen put on the notice pubiished every week in The Canadian Statesman teiling where copies of The Statesman can be purchased.. This announcement states that "The Statesman Sold at Following Stores" and then lists 20 stores in Bowmanville and West Durham where copies of the paper can be obtained. The New Canadian was convinced that The Statesman with its 12,000 weekly readers, had sold the stores themselves and wanted the editor to take on a bus- iness deal for him! We owe our New Canadian a vote of thanks anyway for creditîng The Statesman with such pow- erful salesmanship and with having suf- ficient wealth to own 20 stores, or even being such a large handler of real estate deals as to be agents f or the sale of 20 places of business. Oh, well, this is just another instance of howv difficuit it is to understand the English language. THE LAW AND MOTORISTS Everyone benefits by obeying the law. A small violation that might give one car driver a brief advantage in traffic, works to the disadvantage of other drivers. And a delay f urîher up the line could be caused by stili other drivers committing similar violations. Picture the state of traffic without enforcement. Vehicies would -be parked everywherc; main traffie arteries com- plelely blocked; accident unattended; signs and signais disregarded, movement aI a standstiii. Obedience to the iaw as opposed to the violation of il smooths the way by adding ta the orderly flow of traffic. One good example encourages another. Know the laws and obey them! CBC SHOULD DROP ADVERTISING CBC's total income f rom public sourc- es is piaced by the corporation in its annual report at $12,091,317 made up of $5,841,317 in licence fees, and $6,250,000 from a speciai annual grant authorized last year. An operating surplus of $3,691,- 000 was listed. The special grant was approved on the definite understanding that there would be a decrease in advertising over the national networks. The annual report indicates Ihat Ibis condition has not been met, since advertising revenue bas remain- ed virtually constant. The surplus is the unexpended portion of the special grant. The amount is more than a million dollars greater than the reported revenue from advertising. This would indicate that adverlising could flot only be decreased, but eliminated aitogeth- SAGE ADVICE BY LINCOLN f You cannot keep out o! trouble by jspending more than your income; You cannot furîher the brotherhood of man by inciîing ciass hatred; You cannot build chai-acter and cour- age by laking away a man's initiative and independence; You cannot belp men permanently by doing for Ibcm wbat they could and should do for tbemseives. OBSERVATIONS AND OPINIONS A student of human nature says he notices tbe middle class consisîs of those who manage ta lîive in public like the ricb do, and by living in private like tbe poor do. We have no more righit ta consume happiness without praducing il than ta conisume wealth wiîbout producing it. -G. B. Shaw If the true spark o! religiaus and civil liberty be kindled. il wvilI burn. Hunian agency cannot extinguish il. Like the earbh's central fic, il may be smothered for a lime; tlhe ocean may overwlielm il; mounlains may press it down; but ils in- herent and unconquerable force will heave bath the ocean and the land, and at some lime or other, in some place or other, the volcano xiill break out and flame up la heaven. -Daniel Webster 25 YEARS AGOr taik o! the town for weeks.

O sha wa and District Labor Council' Criticizes Nembers oi Parliament For Nol Voting National Health Insurance (By M. J. Fcnwick, Sec.-Treas. Oshawa and District Labor Council). Along wîth other affiliates o! the Canadian Congrcss o! Labor, the Oshawa and District Labor Council believes the biggest sin- gle gap in our social security sys- 1cm is the lack o! national heaitb insurance. Represcnling as il does, unions in Ontario and Dur- ham counties, the Council recent- ly criticizeci Michael Starr and John M. James, rcspectively, members of parliament for the two ridings. The Council felt both members should bave supported the C.C.F. amendment 10 the speech' from the Ibrone which callcd for the enacîmnent o! a beaith insurance measure. Both members explaincd Ibeir respective parties were for health insurance. They felItbey could not ;support the C.C.F. party's amendmenb, which in the case o! Mr. Starr, differeci from the Pro- gressive Conservative parîy's bealth insurance pragram and in the case o! Mr. James would have meant voting iack o! confidence in the federal government. Il sccms ail parties are on re- cord for the enacîmnent o! bealth insurance. The opposition parties, o! course, could do nothing cx- cept to goad the govcrnmcnt mbt action. Howevcr, the government while engaged in the biggest war in bistory, that we coulci enact health insurance just as easily. Some 12,000 members of the labor council's affiliated unions are now covered by one or another healbh plan under agreement. with employers in the two coun- tics. Practicaiiy in ahI cases, in- dustry is paying bal! or more a! the cost o! these plans. One can argue Ibat under the circum- stances there is no compellng rea- son for labor here ta press for national bealth insurance. Organ- izeci labor recognizes. however, that these plans are not al-in- clusive and at the same lime cover oniy those working in in- dustry, Unorganizcd workers, professional men and people in other walks o! life arceflot cov- ercd.
