7 SAMUEL FARMER, Editor and Publisher. ef Ak T PERRY PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, "JULY-24th; 1041 EDITORIAL - "Such is the patriot's boast, where'er we ream: His first, best country ever is at home." THAT "NEW WORLD" Years ago YEdward Bellamy wrote "Looking Backward", a book which pictured an entirely new world that was in operation inthe year 2000 A.D. Money, profit, and competition were things of the past. Everybody did his very reasonable share of work; and drew on the Government for such things as he required for food, clothing, and other essentials, All work, amusements, etc., were on a community basis. The world he pic- tured was delightfully easy-going; but seemed to need a pinch of salt to make it palatable. Much is now being said about a new world after this war; but very wisely details are avoid- ed; and little is being said of the necessity of a new people to fit and make possible the drastic changes necessary. If we are to retain our manhood in a warless world; where competition has largely been re- moved; we shall at least need to live cafeteria .style--that is we shall have to develop the ability to help ourselves. If milk is "to be delivered by certain milkmen in restricted - areas, it will not be so easy to use milk bottles for flower vases or preserving. In short, the public may have to reduce its demands upon the "service; and merchants or distributors will not have to meet all the whims of all the customers in order to be able to do business. A short time ago a woman ordered an electric stove. Before she was satisfied, she had tried eight different makes of stoves. believe in a case of that kind that "the customer is always right."

There was a little horse racing on the street, some foot racing and jump- ing, but the champions of any of the sports I do not remember. It would be interesting to name them if I did. I remember though, an Indian woman ran down the street balancing a pail of water on her head, as her part of the sports. There were the usual drunks, 'so common on such days then. Prince Albert had two open bars quite liber- ally patronized. I do not remember though of any patriotic addresses, they would have scemed fitting the occasion; but per- haps we boys were not anxious to hear any. Nor do I remember, -at a- concert at Greenbank that evening, if there were any. The only item of the program [ remember was a stirring. poem re- cited by Mr. George Flint, "Strike With Garibaldi." Garibaldi was then 'carrying on his campaign for a united Italy. But the Vatican then ruled or owned a strip, quite a wide one, across the centre of Italy, including Rome. Mr. Frank McLaren, who was present, 'lin conversation afterwards, expressed quite-a---strong- disapproval-of-Gari-§- baldi, calling him and his followers, no better than Fenians. Frank was a fine fellow though; and we had vivid mem- ories of Fenians, the year after their raid into ©ntario. The McLaren's were Catholics--a fine family. Mr. McLaren had allowed his fine picnic ground, near Greenbank, to be used for years, by the Sunday School for their anniversary. .

Follow- ing the election of 1935, in which he supported the cause of constitutional government he was forced into exile. His latest book, "The Redemption of Democracy", is said to have been written mostly in a London air-raia shelter. Its central idea is that such redemption requires the purification and re-Christianizing of Democracy. 5 Rauschning's first book, "The Re- I volution of Nihilism", was acclaimed as the most important work on the A Nazi Movement since the publication of "Mein Kampf". It is a book of nearly three hundred pages, and, } Sa while it is not the easy reading of- ! fered by the many publications writ- ten by journalists on the subject (in. the usual "racy" style of. the craft), it " is more "meaty" and more satisfying to readers who like substantial literary pabulum.
