He should not be hampered by unnecessary regulations, nor should he be pampered by too much spoon feeding, A little trouble, a little roughing in life, stiffens the human backbone. We have become too sen- timental about the financial problems of humanity. The passing generation was not raised in such an atmosphere, and if you look at the private and national achievements of the past fifty years, they are worthy of pardonable pride, Until recently men and women were encouraged to stand on their own feet, and discouraged from asking for "relief", The fact of the matter is there was no such thing except the emergency kindness of neighbours in cases of distress, And the people as a whole thrived under that system. They put their shoulders to the wheel; and if there wasn't any wheel, they gave the load a straight lift. To-day we are giving fancy names to "relief" and it has become a slogan that every body shall have a chance to live decently. There are cases where help is needed. If the nation needs more children (and it does), it should not be so costly a matter to bring them into the world. Maternity expenses might well be paid by the Government for people whose income does warrant this fin- ancial outlay. ' But to encourage parents to look.to the State for the continued upkeep of those children will not promote strong characters in either parents or children. However, that matter has now been settled by law; and any opposition to the new system is fruitless, > - What should be discouraged is the tendency to look to the Government for MORE and: STILL MORE, iat The highest ambition for any man or woman should be to develop and give his or her best ger- vice. Some one must pay for all the Government blessings that have been so lavishly' promised. The army of dependents and semi-dependents can become too great for society to bear. Some one must be able to pay. : Never has Canada needed more industrious, self-supporting men and women in all walks o life. Some fail to realize that the end of the war will not mean the end of competition, but may. - bring about greater competition born of necessity.- The people of Europe are hungry and ill-clothed. They will have no eight hour day. Necessity will VACANCIES IN THE SENATE (The Times-Gazette) Sixty-five years ago, the Hon, T. N. Gibbs, one of the grand old men of Oshawa's carly days, was made a Senator, an appointment he held until his death in 1882. Since that time Oshawa, or rather this riding of South Ontario, has been overlooked by the Government of the day when making appointments to senatorial vacancies. At various times this riding has been represent- ed in the House of Commons by members of high mental calibre and great breadth of view. Liberal or Conservative, we can recall some of them as men who served Canada well--whose activities and influence reached far beyond the borders of this constituency. Yet at no time do we remem- ber their names seriously mentioned for appoint- ment to the Upper House. In our private citizens too, we have been par- ticularly? fortunate; indeed the character and pro- Vi gress of the City and County has resulted from. the great energy, wide knowledge and sterling qualities of leading citizens in the arena of in- dustry, commerce and municipal life. Again, at no time do we ever recall the name of a private citizen being hopefully mentioned for service in the Senate, We suppose there are now more vacancies (eighteen) than were ever before available at any one time. We do not for a moment think that these will all be filled by party members. Many of the appointees may be private citizens, well and favourably known for their good work for Canada, Here in Oshawa we have an outstanding citizen in the person of Mr. W. E. N. Sinclair, K.C., whom 'we have no hesitation in nominating for an ap- pointment as senator, True, Mr. Sinclair has played his part in past years in what is commonly known as party politics; but we believe he rose above the average level and gave his party lead- g ! . ership of the highest eplibre. No one. in the com- munity is more highly respected and we are sure that his appointment ds senator would meet with hearty approval from; all sections of the com- munity. We submit his name as one entitled to favorable consideratioh to fill one of the present vacancies. fod - Post War Recovery in Europe can be hastened now in Canada, if we are willing to share our food with the starving there.

Rogers, who gave the Mission Band report for Mrs, I. Munday, reported that there were 25 Mission Bands, one new Mission Band formed at Enfield and an interdenomi- national one at Ajax. There were 12 certificates of Recognition won by bands which had an increase. Miss Edna Green, of Greenwood, reported an increase in both membership and societies of the C.G.I.T. She chal- lenged the woman of the W.M.S. to give more leadership and show more interest in the work of the C.G.I.T. Mrs. J.

Olivia Lindsay who entered Mission work in Japan in the autumn of 1912 and was evacuated in April, 1941, was the special speaker of the morning session. Miss Lindsay spoke of her impressions of the three Mis- sion fields in which she had worked in the last five years. She was invited to go to Korea in 1941 to teach in a Bible school, There she was impressed by strong self-supporting churches. The secret of their strength is that the missionaries stressed special Bible schools in which intensive Bible study wag carried on for one month to six weeks. The students could under- stand Jeremiah better than the teach- had suffered persecution aith. Then suddenly Rev. Lindsay had to return to Japan and in a month's time packed and made plans for the Japanese Christians to carry on. . She had many touching ex- periences in bidding farewell to these Christians. © In January, 1942 she waa assigned to the Fraser Valley Mission, B.C, to bespastor of the new Japanese church, In this church she had a Leadership Training Group of 17 young men and women who met for 2 hours, twice a week. When evacuation came in June these young people moved to their new homes as Christians and are measur- ing up in the communities to which they have gone. "After the evacuation, Miss Lindsay was moved to Lillovet, B.C., where she carried on her work for 2 years among five Japanese self supporting com- munities. The other communities were Bridge' River; McGillivray Falls, Tay- lor Lake and Minto, seem to be stronger because of the op- position they have faced in becoming Christians. - Port Perry Auxiliary conducted a very beautiful "In Memoriam" service. At the very delicious luncheon served by the Jessie Panton Auxiliary greetings were brought from Presby- tery by Rev. C. G. Park and the min- ister of St. Andrew's Church, Rev, G. Telford. ....The afternoon session opened with an organ recital by Mr. Taylor, Mrs. N. J. White, Brooklin, Supply Secretary, reported that last year two bales valued at $446.50 were packed and sent to the Moose Woods Reserve and Nelson House, Letters of appre- ciation were read. Mrs. M. Kirkland, Candidate Sec'y, stressed the need for 50 new workers. In 1944 the total sum of $11,662.62 was raised in Oshawa Presbyterial, Miss Olive Sparling who has worked for six years at the Church of All Nations, Montreal, and has been lately been appointed Secretary to Younger Groups, for the Dominion Board, was the speaker of the afternoon. = Her subject was "Missionary Education for Children and Youth is a Priority To- day". Missionary education is an in- tegral part of our Christian education, Our objectives should be that children should have concern and respect for personality; children should see what our church is doing and has done; that an opportunity is provided for us to make more real in the experience of these children the Fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man; to show through picture and story the pro- gress of mankind; the interdependence of people; that childrén have a part or share in the relief of suffering. to- 'day.

Brooklin Seed Fair There was a large attendance at the 6th annual County Seed Fair held in Brooklin, on March 21st. While the number of entries was lower than last year, the quality of grain was slightly better. The commercial classes of carly and late oats, also barley, were well filled. The public speaking competition was a very successful event with eleven competing, most of these coming from Whitby High School. Thirty-two took part in the Seed Judging Competition. Mr. N. J. Thomas, Dept. of Chem- istry, O.A.C., addressed the meeting on the care of pastures and urged that all farnrers pay more attention to } pastures as they are a crop that pays good dividends. Mr. W. M, Cockburn, Agricultural Representative for the County of York,deseribed the wild bar- berry and buckthorn in their import- ance in spreading rust. He stated that excellent results had been obtained when buckthorn and wild barberry County, and that rust was not notice- able in these areas, He mentioned, that in many cases where buckthorn had grown to large shrubs or trees it had been found advisable to cut them down and spray with a weed killer any | shoots or second growth that wold) appear. In some cases where wild! barberry was prevalent the dry weed killer powder was applied about the roots of the shrubs so that the mois- ture would drive it down and kill the roots, The judges at the Seed Fair were Mr. R. E. Goodin, Potato Fieldman for the Province of Ontario, and Mr, G. Rickard, President of the Provincial Crop Improvement Association. The Prize Winners Early Oats (registered) --1st, I. M.

Brooks, a demonstration film was shown in the Town Hall by the Purina Company on Saturday afternoon last. Unfortunately, the rain was coming down pretty smartly at the time, and the attendance at the showing was small. But the film was « most amaz- ing evidence of the thoroughness of rescarch which the demonstrating Company has taken in order to pro- duce a food absolutely suited to the needs of the milk-producing cow, With patience and scientific accur- acy, the whole internal economy of the cow has been studied and filmed. The process of the making of milk was The methods of caring for the cow were demonstrated; and the loss that will always follow neglect or roughness was shown in most prac- tical fashion, Farming is coming into its own in the matter of the spread of knowledge that is profitable to the farter--if he will accept and use that knowledge. Agriculture has reason to be thankful to private enterprise such as has been shown by the Purina Company. We repeat, it was unfortunate that more people did not see that wonderful and informing film. : ED Married in New Zealand CAWKER-TUCK (Matamata Record) All Saints' Church, Matamata, was atlractively decorated for the wedding on Saturday morning, 2hth of Novem- ber, of Iris Mary, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. RS.

SORRY-- Owing to lack of space, | much copy has been crowded out of this week's issue. ~ and so home. That is an old walk of mine; but I never took it under such pleasant conditions on the First of April in any other year, The ther- mometer registered seventy, the grass was green; the trees budding; the land dry; the snow all gone. The report is that there has not been such lovely weather in March for 104 years, | can well believe it, | This morning the United Church was crowded, even the gallery was full. There is something about Easter that calls people to Church. It is too bad that the call does not come more ! often; for, believe it or not, the Church is at the base of all good i movements for the welfare of human. ity. Not the Church that quarrels' over creeds; but the Church that strives to live in the same spirit as its Leader lived. There was a great crowd of visitors here on Sunday. But the number of strange faces has grown greatly, it! is hard to keep track of the changes. I do not know any startling news. Things are going on pretty much as usual. * * L Ll My daily quota of mail is full of all sorts of suggestions outlining plans for your future and mine--if the plan- ners have their way, and we live long enough to see their plans put into! operation. Here is an outline taken from the April Readers' Digest. Evidently. we shall not be required to do our own thinking; and, if all the rosy promises are kept, we shall not have to worry about finances--a be- nevolent Government will look after all that. Of course, this outline is for the United States; but Canada is a close second in this type of planning.! Here is the outline: "1. There is to be established a Na- tional Production Council which is to be the over-all "planning agency" and will have the responsibility of control-! ling the entire economy. I ET oe Letter to Those on Active Service 2. Under the over-all agency will be a sub-agency or sub-council for each industry, composed of representatives from labor, management and Govern- ment, J. The volume of production will be set by these councils for each in- dustry, which means, of course, a Quota for cach company and plant in cach industry. This production sche- dule will be set at such a level that in the aggregate it will insure "full em- ployment." 1. To insure that the full production schedule is carried out by the Govern- ment will perhaps even "guarantee" the companies against loss by buying any products which cannot be sold on the open market. 5. No new company can enter any field without the approval of. the ap- propriate industry council, G. Prices will be fixed for each com- modity and permanently controlled by the planning agencies. 7. Wages also will be fixed and labor will be guaranteed an annual wage. All wage agreements will be certified by the planning agency and will be frozen a year at a time in or- der to prevent price schedules from being upset, " . 8. To offset an anticipated "$125,- 000,000,000 deflationary gap" when war production stops, there must be no cutback of wages, and workers are to receive as much for 40 hours as they now receive for 48 hours, Y. An enormous program of Gov- ernment expenditures and expansion of Government activities is to be un- dertaken. This is to include not only regional development of the TVA type all over the country but housing, edu- cation, airport construction, both transcontinental and local road build- ing, wholesale extension and increase of benefits of social security, and so forth." I" have an idea that the planners may be a bit startled when you return home, and begin to tell what YOU want and will have. That is some- thing to think about. Good bye for now, .The Editor.

They have efnducted an excellent busi- ness, and in this respect they will be missed by the public, both at home and among those who travel, But quite apart from business, Mr, and Mrs, Napier have been good eiti- zens whose removal from us will be * regretted both in community ..and church life, We trust that the illness which Mrs. Napier has suffered for some time, may soon pass, and that prosperit and happiness may follow these mue respected neighbours, : = of sa A ¥ A i A a em
