Otta GEO. W. JAMES, Erroe More People Mean More Jobs We would strongly recommend that our readers take lime bo read the article in this issue by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce dealing with the much dis- cussed subject these days of immigration. Have we enough people in Canada? The Canadian Chamber of Commerce, which is flot noted. for its wild or radical ideas, does not think so. The Chamber believes we should double our population in the next 20 or 30 years. We agree. People who don't give Il much thought will be heard to say: "Why bring ini more foreigners, to take jobs away from our own men and increase unemployment?" Common sense should tell anyone that more people mean 'more jobs, not less. With every single immigrant ta Canada, there is one more potential consumer for the food of our farrners, the products of our factories. With a population of 25 to 230 million, Canada would be much less clependent on foreign markets. This dependency is one reason things are tough right now witIh sone»scur bigger idustries. Besides ereatlng more mouths ta feed, a blgger population would give us more security, would give us the men to develop our resaurces, *ould supply labour for our farina, would create new industries, would reduce our national overhead, which in the matter of railways, radio stations and mnany other facets of aur hie, is geared te a mueh bigger population, and would im- prove eur domestie economy.

Hay Fever No Laughin Matter Departrment et Heulbh officiais est- rInmat. that bon per cent of the residents of Ontario sufer froni somne bri of allorgy. A few af the more common allergies are frorn feathers, wool, grams pollens, certain flowors, galdenrod and ragweed. Fighty per cent o! hay foyer sufferers are allergie to ragweed pollen, Usually froin late August ta the first frost, pollen buiid-up in the air is sufficient in ragweed areas ta cause severe nasal irritation. Consequently, residonts in Soubhern Ontario wba are allergie ta rag- weed pollen put in rathor a distnossing limne. Many hay fever suiferons try ta r take vacations aI this lime at saine loca- tion wbere they can gel relief. Surveys conductod by officiais of the Crops Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture, reveal îsolated outbreaks of ragweed in Norîhern Ontario but delerin- ined efforts are being made to keep thein under contrai. Hay foyer is flot bad in most of the resorl areas of Muskoka and Parry Sound, many parts of Haliburton and nortb are quite safe. This is par- ticularly true of resort areas somewbat -. removed from farin land and 'back froin railways and highways or are isoiated by areas of bush. Fortunatelv most sections of the vast resorî areas of Northern Ontario are sale bavens from hbey foyer. They Prefer Unemployment The Watchman-Warder in an editonial last week commented on a condition in that ontej-prising town which is all boa common these days, and ta a great extent lacks sympalhy in many cases for mon temporarily out of work, The editorial reads: "Fariner. and others who are allen ti need af hired holp are aI limes annoyed when they run inb able bodied mon who turn down work because they are drawing unemploymenb insurance. An mrate farin- er was giving vent to bis feelings in no uncertain manner an Kent Street a few days aga. He was suffering f rom an lnfected hand and at lbe saine lime bis hired help lef I for "pastures green." One inan was given employmnent, but afller enjoylng a good horne-cooked meal and a * dean, downy bed, plus his breakfast, the mnan departed for parts unknown. Mr. ,1armer applied ta the Unemployment Bureau in Lindsay and was astounded out of employment in the area, but flot one was a'vaîlable for farming. Hie was« further shocked and annoyed when he approached four men on the bank corner and each and everyone with one accord provided excuses why they could flot go ta the farm, one of the four slating thal he did not have to work as long as he was drawing unemployment insurance. That just was the last slraw as far as Mr. Farm- or was concerned and ho mumbled that il was a fine state of affairs. He is s0 right. It is amazing how some people can get through this tough aId world with- out working. While most people have their noses down to the grindstone and are happy about Iheir work, others appear ta lack anY degree of responsibility, become lazy and indifferent. There should be a law against the chap wha refuses work just because he happens la have some unem- ployment insurance coming bis way. When the insurance runs out the saine loafer is apt ta become a charge on relief. Wages and Cost of Living Big headlines in saine newspapers stress an increase in the cost of living. But there is almost a conspiracy of silence about the increase in wages. Il is true that living costs are up 16,7 on 1949 but in the same period wages are up 40% and would have been up still more if working hours had flot been reduced. The Communists and Socialists are experts in presenling statistics bo suit their case. Applying the 46graphic methods" of the Collectivisîs tb these figures, il is possible to record that from 1949 bo 1954 wages advanced one hundred and fifty per cent more than the cost of living advanced. Wben Assistance is Needed Have you ever noticed how quickly neighbours and friends gather around wýhen a dealh occurs in a home, comments The Gore Bay Recorder. Many bring gifîs of food and others ask, "Is there anything 1 can do?" The gestures are made with the kindliest intentions but by Ihat lime Ihere is very uitIle that anyone can do. Perhaps the bereavement comes afler a long illness when the wife and mother of the family has had to devole a great deal of lime to the patient. During this time gifîs of food would be very much appreciated, or the visit af a neighbour who would sit by the bedside for an hour ta allow for a rest or a walk in the fresh air. Sympathy goes outI mmedîately toas beroaved family but in many instances more anguish is suffered by thein before bereavement comes and a kindiy word anc showing that somebody cares would be more welcome Ihan ail the weii-meani offers of assistance afler a death has oecurred. Employees Weil Protected Some form of sickness and accident benefil plan or insurance policies provid- ing cash compensation for wage loss, appeared to be fairiy common practice in Canadian manufacturing industries, states lion. Milton F. Gregg, Minister of Labor. The minister based his statement on the resuits of a survey of working con- ditions made iast year. The survey cov- ered 6,476 manufacturing establishmnents in Canada employing 802,805 plant work- ors and 183,183 office workers. 0f this number, nearly 79 per cent of the firms had some forin of group empioyee sick- ness and accident insurance in effect. The 5,112 plants which reported having sick- ness and accident benefits in effect em- ployed about 94 per cent of ail plant work- ers covered by the survey and 96 per cent of the office workers. Dynamic Bankruptcy Mr. Donald MacDonald, the new Ontario leader of the CCF, is fiitting around the country like a bouse a-fine, and in bis keynote address aI the Party's 201h annual provincial convention, heid in Toronto in May, declared-"We shaîl not anly b. the real force that we are to-day, but we shah] become a dynamic movement Ihat wili sweep ail before il in Ontario." Just how Ihis transformation is ta be brougbî about is nol boa carefuily defined. The main idea of the CCF in Ont'ario appeans la be a so-called "400 million bous- ing programme" by which is meant spend- ing Ihis amount of the baxpayer's money in subsidising bouse construction. Govern- ment housing schemes are riotoniaus laul- unes all over the worid. The only bhing that is certain about lbe CCF projeel is that il would add sub- sîantially la the tex burden of aIl citizens. Thus a Socialist policy bocomes "dynamic" wben il buris the ship of state mbt bank- rupîcy! Best Seller of Alil Time The Bible is the besl seller of al l ime.

The Stalesman was a member of Town Council he advocaled, through lhis paper, tthat the Munîcipalily o! Bow- Smanville would b. better and more economically administerec by a town manager-counicil plan. But in advocating sucb a radical civic movement aI that lime, he found h. was away ahead of his lime, as public opinion for suclh ta business change had not beer accepled in Canada, although il was warking successfully Ir many lowns and cities in the iUnited States. A couple years ago, through lbe efforts of Councillor Norman Scott, lb. electors had the op- portunity of voting on the coun- cil-manager idea and lurned it down by a large majority. Since then. on Councillor Scott's sug- gestion, some o! the ideas of this modern plan have been adopted in that Town Clerk Alick Lyle bas been delegated more duties and responsibilities likened la a manager a! an industry, which, ta a degre., bas ligblened the details and work o! members of council. We are stli convinced the counicil-manager plan is a sens- ible and practîcal way of con- ducîing municipal affairs, now that il bas become "big bus- iness" demanding so mucb personal lime and thought of members of lown counicil,- This article was prompted by the edîtor ceeing tb. following article headed "The City Man- ager's Code o!

To achieve effective and democratic local government, the council-manager plan pro- vides that policies shahl be de- Iermined by the governing body elected by the people and that lbe administr-lion of sucb pol- idies shaîl b. vested in tb. city manager wbo shahl be appoint- ed by and responsible 10 lb. gov- erning body' .

B. Lumsdert, of Wlfvileo, N.S. In ils report te the national convention, the Legion's bous- ing committee dlescribed- the housing crisis confronting law- income velerans as an emer« gency second only ta tisat of na- tional defence. The report de- manded a substantial reduction in the 51,2 per cent interest rates charged on N.H.A. loans and condemned action being taken in sorne cities tb scrap wartime housing units. These dwellings, it was stated, had been erected during the war te meet a short- age that was now more seniaus than when tbe houses were built. Dealing with the Veterans' Land Act, the housing commit- tee recommended that the Con- vention urge the Government ta reduce morîgage interest for those qualifying under Section 2 of the Act, from 51,, per cent le 3% per cent. Hon. Hughes La pointe, Minister of Veterans Af fairs told the convention on ils second day that the Govern- ment could not aller the exist- ing basis of war veterans allow- ances because of the effect such action would have on other as- pects of the nation's social se- curity program. A resolulion an reserve train- ing, urged the Government te review the whole basis of ex- isling plans, before laking final action te disband historic army regirnents. Heated debate await- ed a resolution on the Kennedy Report on Reserve Training, terms of which have nlot been disclosed, despite Opposition demands in Parliarnent, and on wbose recommendations, the Government's re-organization of the Reserve Forces, le pre-- sumnably based. Legionnaires expressed strong opposition to the proposed disbanding of re gimenîs on the grounds that a loss o! manpower would likely result, along with a widening of the gap between Active and Re- serve Forces, dissalisfaction among reserve personnel and a loss of tradition, esprit de corps and prestige. on the eve of the Conven- tion's closing, delegates be&rd Ontario's Premier, Leslie Frost, address a banquet gathering at Business Directory STRIKE and STRIKE Barristers, Solicitors *Notaries Public -f W.
