w -w- r J-,., - THE CANADIAN STATY&SMMÇq. DOWMANVMLLP. ONTAPTO ?TMDAT, APRM l8ItM4 »M Maybe it was one of those rainy days when spirits are dampened and a mood of melanchoîy sets in, as the thought of Spring housecleaning enters ber mind. An idea suddenly strikes ber fancy to journey Up to the attie and probe through a maze of forgotten objects. Dusting off an attic trunk she raises the lid and discovers a treasury of memories. Old attics and sometimes littered ceilars, are warehouses filied with the materiais things of yesterday - forgotten, abused, and dead. But once they are re- entered, memories are resurrected and often accompanied with pangs of raw emotion. 1 It has been argued sa often that one main hope of Canada's industrial economy lies in expanding our exports, that some- times the argument seems to suggest that industry is not aware of that need or, being aware, is doing less to meet it than might be expected. We don't think that many industrial officiais who are intelligent enough to assure their firms' survival in a difficult manufacturing situation can be unaware of this need and, being aware ,of it, it does flot seem that they would do less than their utmost ta extend their markets. As a rnatter of fact, the reason behind the rimit- cd export business is basically the same es the cause of many of our internai bus- iness problems. That reason is our com- parativeiy small population - we have too few people to achieve the economies in production possible in manufacturing for a large domestic market. There is the additional fact that we have not the standard of pay to permit us to achieve low-cost production for export. We must f ind the buik of aur export market in those countries that deal most largely with us. That suggests as our logicai markets the United States and the United Kingdom. Beyond these our im- ports drop rather sharply and, naturally, our exports as weli. With the United States, of course, we are f aced with competition from industries Truth is Communism's most dreaded enemy, we have read. Therefore it con- tinues to be the Crusade for Freedom's znost powerful weapon against the spread of Soviet aggression. Anyone who examines the blows deait to Soviet policy and prestige during 1956 can understand the power of truth. The uprisings by desperate people in Poland and Hungary, the unsettied conditions in ail the Russian-dominated satellite caun- tries, and the unrest in Russia itself, have proved that the most unrelenting barrage of lies cannot stifie the facts. But even though the Soviets have suffered setbacks from which they may nover recover, they have intensified their propaganda campaign. It is obviaus, there- fore, that the Western Democracies must intensify their efforts to show proof of domocratic principles by which ail free men cari live in peace and economic secur- In discussing the subject of immi- grants caming ta Canada you might ponder on the views expressed some time ago by B. K. Sandweii, Editar of Saturday Night: "Immigrants? Paet Ned Pratt was an immigrant until two years ago, when we annexed bis birthplace, Newfoundland. The Rîght Hon. C. D. Howe is an im- migrant. Stephen Leacock and W. H. Drummond were immigrants. The most famous man among our musical composers, Best to When delegates to the annual meeting of the Ontario Farmers' Union, held receiitly in Guelph, met with representa- tives from the Canadian Labour Congress there were many forecasts that before long the two groups would combine in a single organization. No doubt there are many fields in which union members and farmers have similar interests, but flot ail of their political and economic interests are ident- ical. For instance, many labor leaders want to commit ail organized labor to the sole support of the socialist party. They believe in state ownership as a political arm to achieve this end. That this view is shared by only a small minority of union xnembers is indicated by the consistent Fatablisthed 1954 wilh whlch is incorpored rhe Bowmanville News, Th e Newcastle tndeiendanl and The Orcoo News 1O3rd Year of Continuous Service to the Town of Bowmanville andi Durham County AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER % que A SUESCRIPTION RATES $4.00 a Year, strnctly in advanc. s5.o a Yeaz in the United States Authoriz.d au Second Ccx..

Sorrow can await you as often as joy. based on a market about ten times our own and enjoying to the full the benefits of mass production. Not oniy have we but a fraction of that domestic market, but our pay rates are relatively very littie lower than those in aur neighboring country. So there is very little hope of invading that market with fabricated goods, which means that to corne close to a balance of trade we are compelled to share the commodities we have and they need. That means the less profitable course of exporting raw materials, but until our basic situation changes there is little help for it. With the United Kingdom, and other countries of Europe with whom we do a substantial business, the outlook is hardly more favorable. We have a third or a quarter of the U.K.'s population, but we cannot key our manufacturing ta the mass market there so long as we produce our goods at a wage cost three or four times theirs. To secure more export business for the products of our industry, Canada needs a larger population, and a larger domestic market. Too, we need recognition of the truth that bigher wages must be earned through higher productivity. Wage increas- es cannot be demanded on the basis of what somebody else gets. They must bear some reiationship to the volume of sales available ta produce them. ity and thus counteract the untruthful teachings of the Communists. To an un- settied people, controliecd by force and con- f used by lies, the truth is more vital than ever. Through its support of Radio Free Europe's broadcasts ta the satellite cauntries of Eastern Europe, the Crusade for Freedon-i as kept a window open between the captive peoples and the free world. This window must be kept open, or the brave struggles made in the name of freedom wili be converted into a bitter memory. The free people of the Western world have a cleariy defined duty toward these captive peopies. The West must prove that the West is not weak, that it is flot interested soiely in its own affairs. Free people overywhere must realize that only a lie leit unchaiienged is a patent weapan. -Virginia Gazette. and about baIf of the rest of them, are immigrants. Going back a littie, Lord Strathcona and Sir John A. Macdonald were immigrants. Nobody knew that they were going to be great when they immi- grated; they came in like any other im- migrant, just as ardinary young people. But isn't it iucky for Canada that we didn't throw them out on the ground that the country was full enough aiready, and they might put somebody out of a job?" Go Own Way f ailure of the politically ambitiaus labour leaders ta deliver the labor vote in any election. Despite such failures a faction of labor leadership in Canada continues ta work diiigent]y on behaif of the socialist party. The mai ority of farmers in Ontario are flot socialists and on this point alone it seems impossible that a farmers' arganiza- tion could harmoniousiy share joint direc- tion of a single organization with the union f ode rat ion. The farm group would be best advised ta go its own way, meeting and co-operat- ing with the labor group an specific issues when such co-operation would serve the interests of the individual farmer.

Observations and Opinions The handwriting is an the wall, dlaims the Farmer's Advocate. Germany and Japan are capturing the worid fiarkets from the countries where labour and managlemenit are thinking largelv in terms of higher wvage rates, a shorter work week and Cadillacs. "There's Nlobody In There But Chickens! And You Know Why That FeIlow's In There? To HeIp Us Catch Chicken Thieves, That's Why!" Things are rather quiet in the country, so let's start an argument. Here is a conclusion I reached many years ago; if Easter is late, there will be an early break-up af snow and 'ce, with a correspondingly back- ward seeding. If Easter is early, the Sprîng break-up will be late, with a nice, quick seeding. Easter is fairiy late this year, April 19; we had an early break-up, and by cracky, we are going ta bave a backward seed- ing. Anyone wishing ta contra- dict, please form a line ta my Youngman 's Column.1 And, because this paper has, a wide rural readership, wlth1 mnany who are interested in the rearing of fowi, thought wei would pass this interesting tid- bit aiong. Egypt, whicb has a bot ciim-1 ate, bas a novel way of hatch- ing fowl eggs. The incubators1 are built in the form of a damei shaped, mud house, containipg1 four to six rooms. Eggs are spread on the floor of each room. Heat is provided by a1 pan of burning straw; moisture by sprinkling with water. The attendant eats, sleeps,i stays right in the building dur-E ing the entire incubation per- lad, besides acting as a human1 thermometer. He tests the heat" of the eggs by placing themi against his eye bail; if the egg1 seems cool, more straw is hur- i ed, ta produce more heat; if the eggs appear too warm, at wooden plug is pulled out ofq the dame shaped roof, ta ,eta some heat aut, and thus lowery the temperature. The amazing thing about this i iprimitive operation is, the per- centage ai hatch compares la- Lvourably with our highly cam- piicated, modern, scientific methods. But who wants ta be a combînation incu-bator, and human thermometer? Now for a word or two with cur urban readers Did any ai yez notice th&t lnteresting item about whlat happened out in St. Vital, Man- Itaba? Weli, It seems that a man discovered tliat bis wife was quite interested in the milit- mnan, so he decided to teach the lad a lesson. Accordingly, he lay in wait, and beat the be- jabbers out of the philanderer, only ta discover that, the regu- lar milkman was baving day's holiday, and he h ad beaten up the poor relief. Butch and I have a few Can- ada Savings Bonds, which we always thought were tax free, but last year, the tax boys at Belleville discovered, through aur local banker, that we were flot declaring the interest ne- ceived on the bonds, and they promptiy ordered us ta "divvy up", which we did, pramptly, and angrily. On page 19, ai the April, 1957 Liberty, is a quote that "'you don't count as income the interest on Canada Savings Bonds. Tax must ho paid only if the bonds are cashed." I immedîately wrote ta the taxation people at Belleville, quoting the "Liberty" article, and requesting return ai last year's avercharge. Their answer was-"Our au- thority for taxing interest on Canada Savings Bonds, 13 th,! Income Tax Act, Section 6 <b). It is Possible the writer af the (Liberty) article intended ta say "Tax must te paid only if 1the coupons are cashed, whicil in your case would he correct". Just thought I'd let you know that, if You hope ta get a ne- fund on the strength of the "Liberty" article-forget it. A couple ai years aga, I man- aged ta burt my right knee, by arguing with a big beech log. Last week, just ta even things up, I tare the ligaments in m1y lei knee, by being flipped from the rear bumper af a tnuck, which zigged when it ihould have zagged. When I turned up at the Bowmanviile Hospital for X- rays, it was like- old home week, greeting the ladies wbo make that institution tick. Tbey seemed relieved to find my stay was very temporary.

Hon. C. D. Howe and Aigoma Steel. Mr. Howe was named executor of the estate of Sir James Dunn, Algoma's head, and the opposition were trying ta suggest some, sinister significance insofar as succession duties, govern. ment cantracts, etc. were concerned. In bis usual form, Mr. Howe lashed out at those who by innuendo sought to, destroy bis good name and brought out the fact that for many years he had heid great responsibility in govern- ment and private business without anyone successfully attacking bis reputation as an honest man. The debate became especiaiiy heated in the final hours of the session and, undoubtedly, will be used for palitical propaganda during the forthcoming election.

The Iong-awaited announcement setting Monday, June lOth as Election Day came on Friday evening, shortly after Parliament concluded the Fifth Session of the 22nd Parliament of Canada. Now, the wheels will start to turn faster and faster as local and national political parties speed up their activities in preparation for the big day. CONSIDERABLE LEGISLATION CONCLUDED DURING FINAL WEEK The final week cleaned up considerable legisiation including the hospital insurance bill. Several votes were necessary before this bill received final approval because opposition parties wanted the governnlent to go further in sharing the cost with the provinces, although already the future annual billat the fedéral level is estimated at around $200 millions. Now, ail that is necessary befoire the plan is launched is for one more province to indicate Its approval. When final reading was held up for âKay or so in the Commons, niany, of us believed Health Miifstr Martin had almost achieved agreement with that essent 4 sixth province and was hoping to announce the fact whehi third reading was introduced. However, apparently our beliefs were not accurate.
