The suggestion madie by the Public Schuul Principal bas beci- accepted lby a group o! inberested parents who, tonight, are ýI*oding an organizational meeting lanbile school. A study group as suggested coulti nut but help bring a better understanding o! our educationel set-up anti aiso will assist the students to gain a fuiber anti more useful education. The pýroposaI bas been suggesbeti through these colmns at various times anti the action now being taken is certainiy commendable. To our knowledge this is the f i-st time thc principal of'bhe ec-hool has ever atidresseti the annual meeting o! the ratepayers o the section andi it appears bu have heen a welcomed change. It is certainly understooti that the annual meeting is helti for an- express purpose as outlineti la tie Public Schoul Act which dues flot inélude any remarks fromn the principal o! the school. On the other hanti, however, the etincational function ot the sebool is cor- týainly one o! the greatest importance tu those in any section anti suggestions put before th-e meeting by the principal at the recent meecting anti the action~ nov. being taken hy sornm aenshv proved this miove bu ho must warranteti.

Carruthers (Continued from page 1) suibcues hiim and robs him of those qualities of independence so neces- eary to good citizenship andi to na- tional survival. The building of a nation does not depenti on a detail- ed blueprint or a mIaster plan, it is, founded on tlie spirit of its people, andi if that spirit is subdued, so like- wise will the nation be subdued. The citizens of Durham county- as in other parts of this provin ce- - do no>t simply liVe andi earn a. living in their respective areas, but in their freedom of enterprise, within a free society, they have the oppor-! tunity of contributing to the con-1 mun,'ty of whili they are a part, andi in that contribution they have achieved dignity and respect. The greatest weakness of socialism, J feel, Mr. Speaker, is that no ln'divid- ual-neither tlh.e leader or any of his followers-assumnes any sense 0f responsibility or accountability.I As has been so apparent on so xnany, occasions in this Legislature, theý bitame is always put on som^eone else. I amn thankftql, Mr. Speaker. that, I ~represent a people Who believe in' and practice the spirit of free en-ý terprise within a framework whicâl provides security for those who-J through nu fault of C.heir own-are unable to take ativantage of the op portunities available. We have seen what socialist plan- nying can do to people in Saskat- chewan where, in the paSt year, somne 13,000l peopl e lft that prov- ince with few replacernents. The rnajorLty of these peuple are cuming to Ontario, where the social philos- ophy is one of opportunity based on reward for effort, rather than the niegative pursuit of the& welfare state. Mr. Thomas; The hon. member is talking a lot of nonsense iiow. Mr. Carruthers: The lioin member san speak afQer I arn thrýough. The state in which socialist planning puts more and more people on the public payroll, a state which resem- hies a hôlve of bees, in which--cun- trary to the natui;al law of the hive -the drunes multiply anid starve the wkes s that the iiers con- sume the food and tle tworkers perish. Mr, Thomes: WVho wrote that? iMr. Carruthers: 1 wrote it my-v self. Mr. Thomnas: 1 should hiave known the hion. mnember wrote il, himself. Mr. Garruthers: Thanks. I firmnl. bolieve that nu government can op, erate business as efficiently as pri. vate enterprse. Every tirne govern. menits start experirnenting in the business fileldi the victirn of their experiment is the public.
