PAGE ToURl For how much langer, ane wonders, is the illusion going ta be maintained that ahi is well with this countrv's masi important source af employment- rnanufacturing industry? A thrivîng and expanding manu- facturing industry is the very bedrack of sound national prasperity. But the trend, let it be frankly admitted, is very definiteiy in the other direction. Between 1950 and 1959 the per- centage of the Jabour force employed in manufacturing fell from 26.6 ta 25.0. In the saine period manufacuuning's contri- bution ta the gross domestic produc- L.e. aur national annuai wealth-de- ciined f rom 28.7 ta 26.4. Small wonder that much of the steam is gaing oui of the economy when lte nation's number one industry is permitted ta fali behînd in this way, or that the national Unemployment Insur- ance Fund reserve should have shriveli- ed, in the space of three short years, from $835 million ta $29 million. (One trembles to think what a reaiiy bad winter's unemployment will do ta what's left). Leading spokesmen for industry have long been pointing oui what was happening but so fan ta no avail. Fortunately there are signs thai inf lu- ential voices in other quarters have now deterrnined ta do their part ta draw attention ta the situation. A recent front page editorial in the eminent weekly, The Financial Post, is perhaps an example of this. The edi- Religion and Our Schoo!s In certain parts af Canada there is today a growing body af opinion apposed ta the teaching of religion in the public schools. It is argucd thai if neutrality is thus maintained in regard ta religion, ai some laier date children wili be able to make their own free choice. This argument overlooks iwo facts, says Dr. Edward Cragg, in the United Church Observer. For one thing, uniess a young person has some factuai know- ledge about what religion is, no intelli- gent choice is possible. And in the second place, ta omit religion from the curriculum of the public schools does flot resuit in neutrality. Rather when God is neyer meniioned the inference is eîther that he does not exisi, or that he does not matter. As Sir Walter Moberley has said, "Il is a f allacy ta suppose thai by omitting a subject you teach nothing about il. On the con- trary, you teach that it is ta be omiited and that it is therefore a malter af secondary importance." The result of scparating religion and the schools has become apparent in the areas where this bas been done. It f produces young people who know how ta make a living, but who do not know what things are worth living for, young people who are only toa typica] of a world thai "has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without con- science." Aii American university professor has observed that during 25 years af college teaching many senior students have said ta him something like this in summing up their educationai ex- perience: "I am not the same persan I was when 1 came here as a freshman. 1 have had ternific intellectual ex- peniences s0 that I understand what "liberai" education means. But now that I amn ready ta graduate 1 f ind that in spite of being a different persan intellectually, nowhere in college have I been given velues and purposes worth living for, ideals around which ta organ- ize my lufe." Such an impoverishmcnt of youth must always foilow whcn religiaus in- struction is withdrawn from the cur- riculum of the schoois. 'Years aga the laie Principal Grant of Queen's Uni- versity said, "A nation is saved by ideas, by formative and inspiring ideas." Certainly an individual can oniy be saved by ideas, inspiring ideas about the worid in which we live, formative ideas about the raie we are called to play in il. These ideas save youth from cynicism, from flippancy, from despair. And ail such ideas depend ultimateiy on the factor of religiaus faith. G. K. Chesterton was prof oundly right when he describcd religion as the longesi and strangest of ail telescopes, by meang of which a man looks at the stars and sees the ground ai his feet. Directing attention ta eternal things, il thereby shows the meaning and im- portance of temporal things. And with- oui this, no significant living is possible. Bowmanville Has Factories Should Canadians, in the face of increasîngly tough competition in world trade. scutile the economie ship of state and decide ta become Americans in al but neme? Thai seems ta be the view of Planning Director John Davis o! B. C. Eiectric. Says Mr. Davis: "What would happen if many of the tracie barriers beiween Canada and the United States were removed? Some coml)anies wauld certainlv go ta the wall. Othiers specializing in certain Unes and processing resources in a 'ruly efficient manner wouhd, however, be in for an era of prosperitvy. On balance. we wouid be able ta praduce a ,greater volume of goocis witb the same Canadian labor foirce. Productivi ty couid go up at a rate af as much as 3 n)er cent a vear . .. The effeci an aur Canadien economy in 10 or 20 years couhd be stupen dcius." "Stupendous" is the nkhit worc. but not in the sense thet NMr. Davis means. For what he is proposing is just a sou ped-up ver'sion of the aid frnee trede myth which hes never ireaiil- existed ai ail. Hîs proposai woulct mean the viial liquidation aifrnost if not eh] secondary manufaciurin1g in Canada. Il wouid meen the liquida- lion of the jobs of mosi or ail workers engaged in manufacturing - the largest single graup ai the labor force. It would mean utter and absolute depend- ence on the United States in the polit- ical as weil as the econamic sense. It is not uniikely that more of this "Jain the USA" sort of talk wiil be heard. lu s not ikeiy ta impress mosi Canadians, who thraughaut hisiory h ave steadfastly resisted annexation on union with the US in any form. Far better, and far dloser ta the course needed for the protection ai Canadianism, would be for ail thought- fui people ta undertake a reappreisai of their attitudes towards thé Generai Agreement on Taniffs and Trade - an Agreement uncler which Canada abdi- cated responsibility for trade palicy and turned that responsibility over ta a handfu] af international bureaucraîs. The blunt iruth is that Canada appeers ta have been the an]y GATT member wvhich has taken the Agreement seriaus- iy. Since every other country includ- ing the US bas disregarded the ideais and the principles ai GATT, it is high lime the Government ai Ottawa faced up ta reality and withdrew fromn that organization. et natbrn tate#mnn Durham County s <.reat Family Journal Established 106 years ago n 18S4 Aiso Incorporating The Bowmanvblle News, The NowcaStho Indopendont The Orono News Authorzed as Second Ciass Mtail by the Post Oficee Dept..
