PAG TWO - ------- -----.--~.y-, ~ ___ ___ ___ ___ __ ___ ___ ___ __ THUR D Y O T 9 Tt haî often bee'n said that ministers *f the Gospel are the mnost criticized persons in public life, and we think such a statement is true to a great extent. In fact, the writer in his younger days grew up to believe that a minister-like the King-eould do no wrong. But that false idea was abruptly brushed out the window on our first experience as a delegate to a Methodist conference. Returning home from the conference, my father, who had attended many such gatheri-ngs, asked me what I thought of the conference. "Must you know, father," 1 said. "WeIl, the more 1 saw of some ininisters the better I1liked editors." In other words I had been laboring under the false impression that a minister was on a higher pedestal than us poor mortals and could do'no wrong. But I learned to my surprise and regret, that some min- isters were terribly human and didn't always practice what they preached. These remarks do flot apply to the editor's present spiritual adviser and fellow Rotarian, Rev. T. Arthur Morgan, of Trinity United Church. But after lîsten- ing to his "classification ta]k" on Friday, which contaîned considerable background of a minister's training and career, (which address is reported in this issue) we feit it would be good publie relations and good for the soul, if every minister would give Established 1854 with whicb in incorpoatd [h.

MAMES, Errnoit - But It Means Just fine years ago -il doesn't seem nearly that long - World War II was over and the boys and girls were streaming home to once again take their places in peaceful society. Many of course didn't corne home and neyer will. We think it does us aIl good ta spend a few minutes or a few hours about this time af year ta think of those years, and those servicernen; ta think too of the sacri- fices they made for thernselves and their families and for each and every one of us. We'll have an. oppartunity ta think of that at the Remembrance Day Service aI the Cenotaph on Sunday, Nov. 7th. Let's not be 100 busy ta atten~d. But, there are others who should be iinluded in our thinl<ing. They did their part and did it well, but sornehow when they returned home, they couldn't make their way in aur peacetîrne society. Possibly their health deteriorated, their ]uck ran out or their families suffered unusual setbacks. The Canadian Legion So Much! encounters 'many such cases and does a wonderful job of assisting thern back on their feet, keeping themn warmn and well fed. Where does the money came from? Not f rom taxes or other government hand- outs. It cornes each year from the sale of blood-red Poppies. Disabled veterans are paid for making these syrnbolic flowers and Legion members acrass Canada take lime and effort ta sell them ta you, the citizens of this fortunate free country. They ask you to buy them 10o provide funds locally for such items as upkeep of the Legion hospital roorn, Christmas baskets, hospital bills, burial expenses, coal, rent and food for Bowrnanville and district veterans who cannaI buy these things themselves. Every case is thorough]y in- vestigated before a nickel is handed out. That's where your Poppy mgney goes. This year, the ,Legionf members will sell Poppies here on Friday evening, Nov. 5th and ail day Saturday, Nov. 6th. Please be as generous as you can ta help these unfortunate veterans. Politicians at Times Need ta.- be Muzzled In the excitement and enthusiasmn of a political clection platforrps speakers known for their oratory occasionally make inept statements, which they later regret and often apologizie for -, but an apology seidorpi catches up witb the original 6ut- burst. A recent instance of such an embar- rassing occasion was when Chas. E. Wilson, Secretary of Defense in the Eisenhower government, made the rcmark, referring ta unemployment, that "a bird dog gets out and hunts for bis food, while a kennel dog sits an his baunches and yclps". Labor moguls and ncwspapers opposed ta the Republican administration losf- no lime in hounding Secretary Wilson for making such an unwise statement which may have a detrirnental effect in the coming U.S.- election next wjeek.1 Many of aur readers will recail a similar situation in the Federal election in Canada in 1930 when Prime Ityinister King, in a heated political speecHi in Ham- ilton, blurted out the startling assertion "I will flot give tbemn a five-cent picce", re- ferring ta provincial Conservative govern- mne nts. To refresh the memories af aur read- ers in Ibis later incident, which some dlaimn accounted ta a degree for the defeat ai the Liberal Govcrnment af 1930, we quote from Bruce Ilutcbison's baok "The Incred- ible Canadian" which reads: "In the 1930 session of Parliament Bennett found f irmer ground. He demand.- ed that the Federal Government assist the provinces and municipalities ta finance adequate relief for the unemployed. King - such was the measure of his mîscalculation - argued, witb pitiful split.- ing ai legal bains, that the federal treasury had no such responsibiliiy under the constitution. Incredible as il seemns in retrospecî, he denied that there was a national unernployrnent pnoblern or any etnergency. Then, goaded by the Opposition, tired, cranky and overwhelrned by a cnisis wbich he had not grasped and could not contrai, :King proceeded inane paragraph bo deliv- er the next election ta the enemy. Prob.- ably it had been delivered anyway by the depression, but King made that certain by cnying out in his anguish: "So far as giving money from this federal treasury to the provincial governmcnts is concern- ed, in relation to Ibis question of unem- ployment as it'exists today, 1 might be prcpared ta go ta a certain lhength, possibly, in meeting anc or two of lhe western provinces that have Progressive premiers at the head of their governmcnts . . . but I would not give a single cent ta any Tory government." As the gleeful opposition screamed "Shame"! and tbanked God for a ane-cent piece bcyond price, King, now beside him- self, shoutcd back: "May I repeat whatI have said? With regard ta giving moneys out af the federal treasury ta any Tory government in Ibis country for these alleg- cd unemployment purposes, while tbese governimcnts situated as they arc today with policies diamctrically opposcd 1< thase of Ibis Governmcnt I would flot give them a five-cent picce!" That was the first serious verbal slip af bis career, and bbc lasI phrase ta hang bbc Governmcnt. Not a five-cent piece for uncmpioymcnt relief! No co-operatior with a provincial govcrnmcnt which bap- pened ta be Conservative! The victims of tbc depression ta be relicvcd only if bbey votcd Liberal! This was not whai King meant ar what he actually was doing but the country could not forgive him... The nation's desperation had assurcd Ben- nett's* victory . . . King had ýately made just about cvery imaginable mistake in tbought and speech. At bbc last mintte bis Party contrived one more. To finance bhc campaign the empty Liberal brcasury was repaired by f unds f rom pnivate power intcrests wbich had rcceived valuabie bydro rights on the St. Lawrence. While King dcnied any knowledge of the mnephitic Beauharnois deal, nathing in bis life was ta cause bim s0 much humiliation. On the night ai July 28, Bennett found himseif with a majonity of 137 members against 88 Liberals and 20 assortcd farm- ers and independents . . .." a like talk ta his cangregatian. We pass this suggestion, from ane in the pew, ta other rninisters, whase par- ishianers migbt have a better appreciation and working understanding with their mninisten or rector for the good of ail con- cerned.

À GRICULTURAL 'MNISTER WRIITES LETTER REPLYING TO STATESMAN EDITORIAL Ottawa, Oct. 15, 1954 Gea. W. James, Esq., The Editon, Canadian Statesman, Bawmanvilie, Ontario. Dear Mr. James: I have just read your editor- ial o! October 7th entitled "'Give-Away' Economics". ,The one thing which is wrong with your argument is the pré- mise that support pricés in Can- ada have produced surpluses. We had a surplus of wheat. There is some question naweas ta whether it exists. Wheat is flot under the Agicultural Pni- ces Support Act. The only pro- ducts which have been in sur- plus supply recently, and have also been under the Agricultur- ai Prices Support Act, are but- ter and processed mjlk. 1 do flot thi.nk that it has ever beei maintained that the small sur- plus of processed milk has a!- fected the hausewife or the Government very much. Any surplus o! butter whîch may exist was not brought about by increased production in Cana- da. It has been up and down a littie in recent years, but aver a considerable period of years the production was higher than it is now. What s casinga littie diffi- ter is the fact that a few years ago same persans got the idea that we were short on butter and theÉ housewife was gaing ta be called upon ta pay too much for it. Approximately twenty million pounds o! butter was braught into Canada from 0t side. We have been finding ît necessary from time ta time since ta carry about that much from one year into the next. It is, therefore, not something which would happen under a support price whîch has brought about any difficulties which might be expenienced. Yours sincerely, James G. Gardiner Ten Tented Cities - When Scouts o! the world gather at Niagara-on-the-Lake in August, 1955, for the 8th World Jamb- oree they will be bninging al their own camping equipment, including canvas, and will live in 10 sub camps, each a tentcd city O! 1,000 Scouts.
