Bowmanville and the surrounding district have, te date, missed to some extent the influx of many new industries with accompanying growing pains and advantages. Now, it does appear as though the community is on the verge of an expansioh the like cf which we have not witnessed before. While we have not stoed stili since the war, our growth bas been graduai, mostly In the residential field. This has brought such problems as the need for additional schoois, housing, roads and municipal services, hospitalization, recreational facil- ities and retail outlets.

Unfortunately, the less taxes paid by one gnoup menely means the more taxes paid by other greups. The simple fact cf government financing is that whatever cornes out cf governrnent coffers must first go in. If the state is encouraged - or penmitted - te expand its spending, whethen the spending be for cultural or social welfare pursuits, Canad- !ans must be pnepaned ta pay the price.

Clifford Sarnis bad tendered bis resignation as a member cf Memroial Anena's management ccmmittee. Mn. Sarhiis' service to this ccmmunity gees back a long way and involves many pnajects. But, undoubtedly, the greatest effont he bas made in recent years was In connection with the Anena. He was a member cf the Building Fund from its start and with the other membens cf that group toured the province te study other arena structures. When the campaign fer funds began sbortly after the war, he was right in the forefront, giving eveny ounce cf energy he had te make it a success. The Council of the suburb of New Toronto recently rejected the proposai cf Toronto and District Labor Council te enfance a 6 p.m. daily closing on ahi food and meat stores in the Toronte metropol- ftaii anea. A single Councilior veting for the early chosing idea was aise a mernber cf the labon council. The other New Tenante Councillors agreed tbat the public would flot accept daily 6 p.m. closing of food stores., This is probably another case where the leaders of organized habor speak for tbemselves net for union membersbip at lange.

Naw, surely conditions have changed in the lasi 100 years, and any argument based on what happened in England in the eanly 19tb century is flot applicable today; and any pensons holding on te that argument, well, are not living in the present."

Aiso, as Canadians surrender more of their pensonal funds te governrnent, se ai the same tirne they surrender some contre] of their personal affairs. The odd thing about this is that many who abhor the very idea cf socialism and communisni are inclined te say "Se what?" te this fact, They fail te reahize te whàt extent their personal and business affairs are already being regulated by civil servants.

One factor leading te this disparity in what the leaders cf labor demand and wbat the nank and file union membens realiy want is that party politics enters the picture te sorne extent. Many cf the district labar councils are dominated by CCF party members who are aise labor union executives. As a result, policies cf the ceuncils may be in line with socialist party thinking but eut cf lune with union membenship thinking. In such cases the labor spokesmen are leaders without followers. This view should joit those intel- lectuais wbo consider socialism as advanc- ed thinking, who dub anyone who sup- ports the capitaiisîic systern a hopeless reactianary. The fact is that in the capitaiistic dernocracies the workers have acbieved al the benefits that Marx advocated, and many mare that he didn't drearn cf. Furtb- en, neither sociaiism non communism baye been able te equai the material benefits'cf capitalism, and in addition these systems have restricted or destroyed personal freedom cf the wonker. wbetber tbey are for or against tbe idea, as fol]ows: "We suggest that any mnunicipality which does not naw have parking metens, keep tbem eut.

Arrangements have new been made te tn waive the payment cf interest and principal seven times th during the lufe of the agreement, provided the U.S.A. takes Lc the same action each tirne. The mest interesting part of R- this announcement was that all back interest and principal n. will be paid annualhy in the years following the end cf the le present schedule cf payments, namely the year 2001.
