v -- 8 a 04 "o- bs fb Ra iY SAA 3 COMMUNISM HAS A PROGRAM The program of Communism is mapped out for years to come. The. servants of that particular political faith have definite instructions as to what the objective is, and what it is to be later, Their chief asset in carrying out these definite plans is the fact that our plans are not-definite," nor are they united. Moreover, the advocates of free enterprise frequently will take no personal "responsibility for the carrying on of public ad- ministration, or the administration of business. Communism cannot succeed if the ordinary man will tyke office, This is particularly true in trade unions which the Communists are trying to con- trol. If 'everyone says--*l can't be president, or secretary, -- I haven't the time,--1 don't know how." 'rhere is always a Communist who is will- ing to assume the responsibility, and he "knows how." It is this lack of ability to "know how" that is the weakness. of the ordinary citizen. He refers to the Government as "they" showing that he has no personal knowledge of the matter. He knows that *'they" are responsible to the people; but not knowing or caring that the people (of which he is one) are responsible for the government--the ruling power that is guiding the aifairs of to-day. We listen to stories of the dictatorship of Rus- sian Government but we are surg that "it can't hapepn here." It can happen here. All we have to do to he in the same fix as Soviet governed countries, 1s to do nothing to prevent the growth or Communism, to refuse responsibitities, and to play the game of party politics, which is chiefly tinding fault with our political opponents, while_ lauding our own party to the skies, It is time to find our points of agreement, to ) remedy known grievances without the need of strike pressure; to give good service for proper 2 pay; and to quit bepsting pay and prices, so that the dollar may have a stabilized buying value. Free enterprise has brought the North Amer- ican continent to a standard of etliciency that gives us the best way of living in all the countries of the world. Free enterprise developes the power to overcome ditficulties, and take advan- tage of the discoveries of research. A specialized man will eventually become a dependent, helpless man: He will not have to think for himself; and will soon lose the power to do such thinking. It will soon be time for municipal elections' in Port Perry. There aré a number of matters that need the personal attention of the individual rate- payers, particularly the water question. When public meetings are called, the hall should be filled with ratepayers, interested in the way in which the taxes they pay will be spent. Personal interest in public affairs; whole hearted service for wages paid; good value given for the dollar spent, and a constant recognition of the blessings which free enterprise has brought .to our people; these are the characteristics which will 'save us from future years of misery and - Soviet dictatorship. Above al lthe individual must accept personal "responsibility. - ; HOSPITAL The brief report of the year's operation of the Port Perry Community Memorial Hospital(. pub- ~ lished in our issue of October 9th) shows the fine service that has been rendered. In the 365 days the record is that 337 patients received 2763 days of hospital service, medical and nursing attention, together with meals suit- able to the condition of the individual patient. What is worthy of note is the fact that this hospital service is given at a cost of $56.00 per day. to the patient--bed, meals, and 24 hour nursing service. There are always one or more nurses Qn duty, doy or night, to attend to patients who ring for service. - 'I'his is less than most hotels charge for room and meals.

It would have meant a long and painful drive for the patient in the tirst place, and many long drives for the re- . latives. and friends to_ yisit these Pakionts in Oshawa, Lindsay or Tdronto. Forty-nine major operations performed, and every one of these patients recovered. During the past year the Hospital records "show that in three or four cases lives have been saved by prompt and expert service of doctors and nurses. Had these patients been forced to travel many miles to reach a hospital, the results might have been quite different, There were twenty-one accident cases, and no doubt some of them needed prompt attention, It is impossible to measure in dollars the value of this Hospital to this community. We take the Hospital for granted, just as we do the Post Office, "the Library, the Churches, and the Schools. All these institutions cost money to maintain; and we are all glad to do our share. of e Board of Governors are doing a fine piece ~~ [daughter and three sons, Mildred 'k'in bringing the 'Hospital to high efficiency, (Mrs. J.

The Hospital is a Community Memorial project, and if it costs the citizens some money to keep it running properly, it is well. worth the expense.

It .is of 'benetit to all of our people who need hospital care, No better War Memorial could be devised than this Hospital, and the excellence of its serylee to the community will be largely measured by the loyal support of the institution by our own people. |Mrs. D PETTIT--At Hamilton, on 1' uesday, | October '14th, 1947, Frank Pettit, (formerly of Scugog Island) son of, the late George and Ellen Pettit.
