PAGE TWO EOITQRILL Hydro's Golden iubilee In another column in this issue will be found an advertisement bringing to the attention of Statesman readers the Golden Jubilee of the Hydro system in Ontario. Truly it may be referred to as 50 years of remarkable progress. Older citizens who have reached the proverbial "three score years and ten" will be better able to appreciate the great progress of this outstanding public utilities than the younger generation, who are inclined to take such marvels in the growth of the many uses of electricity as casual and ordinary. So just stop for a minute, and make a mental survey of what life would be without electricity in this modemn age of speed, mass production and in your home, office, farm, factory, without elec- tricity and its many gadgets of electrical appliances for your everyday convenierice. The achievements of Hydro since it was initiated in 1906 by the late Sir Adam Beck are so outstanding that it is looked upon as one of the greatest accomplish- ments of the 2th Century in its phenom- enal growth and recognized success. Other countries have sent representatives to Ontario to study and adopt the Hydro policy which is a rare compliment in itself. Sir Adam lived long enough to see his project blossom into fruition. In his most visionary moments, though, he could not have anticipated the full scope of Hydro's growth in the three decades fol- lowing his departure from the scene. Coming down to the local 1jevel of Hydro's 5th anniversary, Bowmd'nville, like many other towns and cities, has been a benefactor in prof iting by buying its own system and enj oying its benef its in improv- ed services and at reasonable rates. We are also fortunate and proud in having one of our capable and public spirited citizens, Ex-Mayor W. Ross Strike, Q.C., as a Vice-Chairman of the Ontario Hydro- Electric Power Commission, and also for many years Chairman of the Bowmanville Public Utilities Commission. One wonders what the next 50 years will hold for future generations in elec- trical living. Criticisms of church activities and decorum have always been popular sub- jects for editorial comment in the daily press and certain other outspoken publica- tions. But it is the exception when a church's own religious publication comes right out in the open and takes its own members to task for sins of omission and commission. In recent weeks two such journals have stepped over the traces, to use a common expression, and broken out in a castigating rash of criticism. Rev. A. C. Forrest, the new editor of the United Church Observer, in its January issue is credited with criticizing nearly every phase of its church activities. Sta- tistics on membership, stewardship and evangelism give the church no ground for complacency. The article goes on to say membership ols will show additions - "More by transfer than by profession of faith, more by children from good homes who were baptized and nurtured in the faith than through converts". Speaking on finances we quote fmom the Observer: "We stand 50th out of 55 ihurches in this continent in our overal givings. There is only one other major denomination lower down the list than the United Church of Canada. It's the Ang- lican Church of Canada. We are always hearing we have so much in common we should unite. That's one thing we have in common - a very poor record in Durham Federation of Agriculture is enthusiastically entering into the spirit of the compaign for "Rural Safe Driving Week" by holding a rafly night on Mon- day, Feb. 20th, at 8:30 p.m. in the Odd Fellows Hall at Orono. It is an intensif ied effort ta help reduce the alarming death toîl from motor accidents in rural areas. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture with the en- dorsement of the Ontario Government, are wholeheartedly entering into this cam- paign which runs from Feb. 2th to 25th. More than 200,000 farm people, through the Federation and affiliated farm Ed ucation Needed In ref erring editorially to the recent local option vote in Victoria Harbour, be- ing the third vote in 15 years, in which the temperance forces were victorious, the Midland Free Press makes these com- ments which are equally applicable to Bowmanville: "If the villagers are flot to be faced with another contest three years hence, a program of temperance education will have to be carried on-in the schools, in the churches, and in other agencies which are concerned about the consequences of alcoholic over-indulgence. "The social cost of alcoholismn today can oridy becomputed in terms of millions of d iflars and thousands of broken homes and warped lives. We do not believe it is a mortal sin to take a drink. But we do helieve that those who themselves over- indulge or who, b-y, their example, encour- age others to do "so, are a threat to the welfare of their community or their nation. "True temperance needs many more advocates." a'Ïu liezar Established 1854 with which ini. ncorporated ihe owmanville News.

The above quotations give you a slight inkling of the tenor of the article in which Editor Forrest makes no apologies for his policy of frank speaking to his invisible audience of United Church subscrîbers all over Canada. Next is a despatch in a Toronto daily in which the Anglicans are raked over the coals by the editor of the Anglican Out- look, which reads: "Our one annual meeting should be an occasion for research," Neil Compton, editor of the Anglican Outlook, reports, but many congregations have reduced them to a routine where elections can be announced before they are conducted. And as for fund-raising: "Do we pay it out of our own pockets or arrange for others ta pay, in large part through card parties, raffles or rubbish sales." "Our direct giving," he says, "is shameful ... Our methods of raising extra, money are morally questionable." The Statesman, at the moment, will not take sides in this "soul searching of church members," for in criticizing -the church we are criticizing ourselves and other regular church-going people. But we may later "break out in a resh" on this subject of churches going too com- mercial and sidetracking the spiritual aspects. organizations, are making plans for safe driving rallies to be held on Feb. 2th in more than 40 counties, of which Durham County is one. Compared with busy highways, rural roads, in this part of the province at least, have been comparatively free from acci- dents, but the situation is far fromn what it should be, or might be. Anything that might help to reduce the alarming toil of accidents should have the support of the public. Mark your calendar for Feb. 2th and plan to attend the meeting at Orono which will be instructive and entertifning. After AlilBis Are Paid In business when all bills are paid at the end of the year what is left (aftem taxes) is profit. Profit provides the money from which dividends to shareholders or awners are paid. Any enterprîse that year after year disbumses ail of its profits in dividends is headed for financial trouble. Prudence dictates that a portion of each year's profits be retained and used in the bus- iness. These retained earnings enable a business to pay at least a part of the cost of the constant need for better equipment and additional capacity. Profits are necessary for business growth. And business growth creates more jobs. Thus profits retained in a grawing business bentfit employees, share- holders and customers. Too often we are inclined to overlook this side of the story when discussing labor-management problems. Who Wants To Be Tolerated? The dictionary says to tolerate is to endure, ta suffer, or ta put up with. Do you know of anyone who wants ta be "talerated"-would you? In some cases, perhaps, the best that can be expected of us is tolemance. Theme are times when we must grit aur teeth and endure, or put' up with certain. personal- ities under certain circumstances. But, it is sa much better if we can educate ourselves ta undemstand and respect those others who think and act diffemently than ourselves. Each of us wants to be recognized as an individual who is worthy of respect. Mo§t of us tmy ta conduct ourselves accord- ing. ta standards that will assure aur fav- ourable appearance among fiends and assaciates. You and I do-sa does your neighboum next door, and sa daes our fel- low wamkem an the job. We ail want and need the samie thing. We want ta be à1cepted. No one wants ta be just "toleratcd"; everyone wouid ather be liked and respected for just what he is. Men neyer recognize a dictator in advance.

The Liberel government of Canada secms ta be having the toughest apposition it bas had in years. A persan cen- hardly imagine from the confines of bis uhome bow a govcrnment with thc enormous majanity of the Liberals could possibly hase a vote but thet is just wbat happened.

It elso scems ta be the only wey thet the people of the country will be kcpt informed of what is going on. Howevcr, ta keep the record straight, in the aftcr- noan Trade Minister Howe called for a vote ta test the perty strength anîd the Liberals won. Parents a few years ago seemed ta give their child- ren more encouragement ta save moncy then they do now-a-days.

At present we1 have established such centres ini the General Hospital in Toronto, the Gencral Hospital in Kingston and the Victoria Hospitalin- London. These centres will be focal points under fuil-time operators. One of the important things, however, that we are settingout to do is to try to establish a plan by which the ordinary physicians ahl over the province will be kept up to date on the latest advances made in heart research. The lest ten years have seen tremendous strides forward in heart knowledge. It is netu-rally, however, quite impossibl e for the general physician to kcepi constently ini toucli with the vast1 quantity of meateriel thet is flow- ing out from the research centres. We hope by cerrying the clinics under expert teams to local centres to keep the med- ical profession in touch with the letest developments. For instance you may have heerd that recent- ly a team went to Cobourg and the local physiciens brought, patients togother and a day was! spent in a real clinic which we hope xvill do much ta advance knowledge. We only got thisI part of the work gaing about the beginning of December. Points alreaçly visited by one of these teams have been North Bay, Cobourg end Lindsay. Others we hope xiii be rapidly reach- ed. These three points have shown quite clearly that we are working along tbe right lines. Now the movement is spread- ing farther af ield. It is hopcd thet other provinces will be orgenized along similar lines and that we will have a Çaned- ian Federation of these prov- inces so organized, which will help to guide and co-ordinate research work perticulerly. We! hope, George, that in a few years many cases such as yours and mine can be prevented before they happen and that thel methods of handling al, Uar cases will be tremendously i*m- proved.

Walter Tucker,' Liberal M.P. for Rostherii, Sask., participated recently in a knock down, drag 'cm out television press conference along with representetives of ice other three parties, John Die- fenbaker, Hazen Argue and Victor Quelch. The subject was a tender one for westerners- Wbeat! Actually, the program was a mess in my opinion. The chairman lost control of the situation as was ta be expected xvhen there were thrce opposi- tion speakers to one defenduîg government policy. Rumor bas it that the pragram director gave them a pep talk before they went on, to make sure there would be plenty of ac- tion. During the program, wbicb xvent fer beyond biý ex- pectations, tè laddie who was running on cîamera was laugh- ing so biard qie could hardly- do bis job.

The unions. a. f asking fur an increase amount- ing to between 32 and 37ceian hour, wbich the railways es- timate would cost tbem over $159 million annually. About 150,000 employees in 16 unions are involved. At the moment, we can only hope the differ- ences wiIl be ironed out with- out difficulty. Lowering Rates Probably I should mention one bill which wes presanted by a private member, ËNIr1. Argue, of the CCF. He advlct- ed lowering the interest rates charged by finance and. smail loan companies from ?Î, per cent to a maximum of per cent. His suggestion ws1 set aside temporarily as the gov. crnment also bas some legisla- tion dealing with the subject coming up in the near future. At the moment, the details of the government's bill have not been disclosed, but you will bear more about it later.
