77j ___________________________TUE VANADIAN STATUSMN. BO)WMAML, ONTÂIO TEMSAOT.lti EDITORI ALS The People Take the Risk There is a tendency today for govern- meula to finance large projects that will benefit anly a comparatively small per- centage of the people. In the United States there is great concern over the spending of Federal funds to finance hydro-electric power proiects. There is strong criticism in that country of the use of general tax money ta benefit relatively smal groups of people. Here 'i.Canada there is a determl -ned group di 'pé6ple who believe in the prinqiples of fiee enterprise but who nevertheless argue that the federal govern- ment should financq, large projects. for which private capital cannot be feund. Such persans are wiiiing ta risk the tax- payers' money where they wouid not risk their aWfl. "In the Begi.nning WAe clipped the foliowing article from the Wiliiamsburg, Virginia, Gazette, which- originaiiy appeared in "The Feliowship Messeuger." I t had this intiroductory com- ment iu parenthesis: (From Hollywood cames a sang of words and o!f faith, and a charge ta the Hollywood men of the Press.) 1 Anu Blyth probably has sung at mare religiaus benefits than any other star lu Hollywood. Yet at her mast recent one she ta]ked instead af sang. It created a sensation. lu the audience at the time were many of the biggest names in movieiand, plus Las Angfeles' -Cardinal McIntyre. When she firushed, most of the 1,500 people present asked. for a copy of her taik. Written by Aun and her husband, Dr. Jim McNuity, the ta-ýk was almost a poetic sermon. Here are excerpts: " 'In the begiuning was the ward, and the word was with God, and -the word wvas God.' "And sinoe then a billion million words have been spoken. Soit words, hard words, cold words, warm words. "There are words that singaiid jump and skip and-dance - gay words, littie girl, . words. And words with fun ini their eyes1 and things iu their pockets and their hair xnussed, litIle-boy words. There are young1 words. And wise aid words with a glint1 lu their eye. There are words wide-eyed' with wonder, soft as a baby's feet, strong1 as a baby's twining fingers. Therear warm, cuddly words. Advocates of goverumnent financing a natural gas pipe Uine from Alberta Eastern Canada argue that there la risk ta the taxpayer.

If it is a sure thiug, why haspriva capital refused tô take the rlsk? KNao ever saw a capitalist who wauld hesita ta invest in a sure thiug. Trhe fact is, af course, that it la not sure thiug.

Lead bim. lead no the child af God iuta darkness." The Cobourg Sentinel-Star published the follawing editorial, which idea was Vnspred by J. D. Thomnas, President of the World Ploughing Organization. We think it contains same splendid suggestions which we pass on for the consideration ai Statesman -readers: Following the dedication af The Golden Plaugh and The Cairn of Peace on September 12, 1955, at Cobourg, the first Chapter of au organization, ta be known as Frienda af the Piough, was formed. People everywhere lu ail walks ai lufe, men and women who tli the sali and work on farms, those who are empioyed lu factories, village people, townspeopie, city people, industrial leaders, the man on the street and the man in the puipit, ahl find a common bond in the symbol of the Plough. Wherever governm ent health insur- ance schemes have been tried, a common probleni has been that many people - assuming that someone else is paying the shot - have taken advantage of the "f ree" services, overtaxed the available facilities, and made it difficuit for doctors and liospitals ta provide adequate care for those who really need it. Apparently Saskatchewan's government health scheme is no exception. Reports from that province show that people are flocking ta the hospitals ta have teeth out. Last year teeth'*pulling ranked third among opera- tio ns' perfornied in Saskatchewan lias- pitals. Governm-eiit-financed hea ith schemes produce thieir awn problems. No doubt the best medical care is that the individual provides for himself and familv - either cntirely on his own or through the volun- tarx- health insurance plans. For the great mai ority, putting the state in the health insurance business will not mean that they will have any better or any cheaper rnedical or hospital care than is now The Plaugh i.s a unit af industry, it I a pattern af peace, it la the frieud ai man The Plough is the key ta the gooc earth, it uniocks the soil, At brings lifi abundant ta man.

Which la not ta' say that the indigent do not deserve state medicai care - wýhich they now receive. Higher Standard of Living Same people seem * ta be disturbed when new machinery or, methods are introduced ta praduce more goods more cheaply and faster. Neyer lu the history ai industrial deveiopmnent has adaptable man suffered because of progress. Because man bas not rejected new and better tools, there are millions more today -who profit by auto- mobile manufacture than who lived by the carriage-and-wagon industry. There are many other examples ai the new being better than the aid. Thanks ta new and better tools, au industriai empiovee today turns ouI mare than his f ather did lu iess time and with much less physicai effort. Cansequenîiy he la paid far mare than was his faîher. Shorter haurs, easier work, and great- er incarne have, given hlm a bigher standard ai living and the oppartunity ta better bis way of lufe. - Life Without Shadow?

One set of prints were wvh4t the camera recorded. Anather Pet had the highlights touched out. The third set were photo- graphs wîthout shadows. "They admired the straight prints,"l he writes, "and those wiîhout the bîgh- lights wereu't s0 bad. But when yau took out the shadows the pictures were just nothing at ail. You can't bave life as we know it without shadows. If there were na struggles, or grief, or the shadowy aide o! lile, what a bunch o£ wishy-washy ,pipe we'd be!
