Now it seems Lo us that the essence of our thinking should be critical apd constructive . . that is, we desire accurate information and all the information which is avail- able . , . we also reserve the right to p++ think out our conclusions in terms of the evidence and those values which we have come to accept as most truly representative of human justice and human dignity and human worth. Publications or articles which attempt to sweep these things away seem to be extremely dangerous and it is neces- sary for us to be on our guard against them, - Practically every Communist article and every Communist publication we have ever seen has been of this type. However, the other day we ran across the sane thing in the publications of a Canadian manufacturer's associa- tion. They publish a little monthly pamphlet called Industry which is, like Bros) Communist literature, distributed ree. : : In what seems to us a highly-in- accurate and emotional manner this little publication attacks such things as the British National Health Pro- gram. . . because it provides too many wigs; those economists who oppose monopolies and high profits; labour legislation in general, It supports a thing which it calls 'Canadianism' it does not define; democracy which it makes synonymous with individual enterprise; advertising schemes for their educational value -in promoting ~ good human relations, when we know that just as often advertising may destroy them; and, finally, highly selective figures from the Bureau of Statistics, : How this gort of thing can contri- bute to the healthy development of Canadian industry we are at a loss to understand, It is our belief that we can neither afford to adopt the ideai- ogy or the methods and means of Russian Communism; therefore, we/{ regret that a Canadian manufac- 'turer's association considers it ex- be susli biased literature even though it is done with the purest-of motives. TTIW GW ON NOMINATION MEETINGS In this country we have a demo- cratic form of government. In brief, power rests with the people who dele- gate it to representatives +l are in turn responsisle to the people, But a Comments democratic form of government doesn't make a democracy --it simply pro- vides .the means by which democracy can be achieved. And democracy is achieved by the people of a country not simply by its elected representa- tives. : The basis of democracy is in equal opportunity for all. Some people have mistakenly interpreted this as equality for all . . which is, of course, an impossibility, However, our de- mocracy is democratic to the extent that it does provide equal opportunity for physical health -- for equal edu- cational opportunity -- for equality in employment and finally for equality before the law. It is apparent that we have a long way to go to to achieve such equality of opportunity . . but if we believe in democracy then these are the things for which we must fight , . . and it is so much more in- telligent to fight for something than to fight against something . . One means of achieving this is by sending to parliament the best-repre- sentatives we can find . . . and this brings us back to the nominatoin meet- ing. In the nomination meeting, the candidates for election are chosen, For too long many such meetings have been anything but democratic. Where the meeting is controlled by a group representing special interests; where the meeting is not truly a public meeting; where the party machine autocratically, in the interest .of the party seeks to force a candidate upon the assembly . . . there is little de- mocracy. In the final analysis nomi- nation meetings are undeniocratic be- cause the people have not taken an active role in the most important job of determining who is to represent them. It is little wonder then that, too often, parliament fails to further the cause of democracy and works to the advantage of special interests who are skilled in the manipulation of nominations. } Until the people demand the right to choose their own representatives . . until they take over the important job of nominating their candidates de- mocracy will be weak. And no can- didate should be seriously considered unless he or she is fully aware of the Many of the present dilemas in which we find ourselves could not have oc- curred if we had sent to partiament men who understood the basic ideas of democracy. Self-interest cannot take hold of the nominating meeting . . . self-interest will continue to play. too large a role in the affairs of public life. ihe High School "At Home" COLORFUL AND: ENJOYABLE On Friday evening, March 26th, the Port Perry High School revived the idea of an "At Home" and entertained graduates from past years. The guests were received by Mr. Bob Helm and Miss Miriam Peel, Principal J. I and Mrs. Crane; Dr. R. S. and Mrs. Irwin; Mr. Robert Tetlow, Miss Parker,and Miss Harris, . The spirit of an "At Home" was very prevelant throughout the evening. To Van DeWalker. and his band all accorded generous praise; and much praise is due the Literary Society who had in charge this interesting event. It is believed Mr. Ted Jackson of the Class of '17 was the oldest graduate present... Many came from a great distance, includ such places at St. Catharines, Montreal and Toronto.

With the changing of the weather he finds himself overwhelmed with oc- curances that rate a line or two gt least. : DeNure * has started scraping "Snook". Phil and Rand are puddling about, preparatory to getting down to real work on their boats. Ted has Bill making him a spinnaker so he can beat the "Joe Bush" this season. The place is starting to hum now. On Sunday afternoon there is no more of this sitting around talking about last year. Everyone is'wander- ihg around testing the ice, looking at boats and chattering at everyone in sight. Actually "the atmosphere is tense around the Club. There scems so.much to do and it all has to be done at once, All the talk and helpful suggestions a person hears around there convinces us that if you are going into any phase of yachting the place to do so is in a yacht club. = Books will never be as helpful to a sailor as another sailor's advice. Books can't help but generalize and your own experience is possibly blinding, - Blinding inasmuch that you only see the same things, possibly in a different light, over and over again.

"Distribution of Naval Prize Fund" In this matter the Canadian Legion has to advise that every Provincial. Command has made the strongest re- presentations against the intended method of dealing with this Fund. Certainly it does appear that re- tgardless of the admirable work of the Royal Canadian Navy Benevolent Trust Fund, certain traditional rights of naval personnel have been thrust aside without consultation. The Canadian Legion therefore urges Wis no further steps be taken in regard to the Naval Prize Fund un- til the whole matter has been recon- sidered and that any subsequent de- cisions be based on proper consultation with the men and women who by tra- dition and right are entitled to a share, DID YOU KNOW that Newmarket Branch of the Canadian Legion provide Blood Transfusions for any person in York County Hospital FREE - of charge.

Scout Mothers As the Scout Mothers Auxiliary year comes to an end and my term as president also, [ would like to make and Scouts in Port Perry. There are between forty and fifty of these mo- thers, yet avhen the ACTIVE members of the S. M. Aux, held a court whist and euchre last Wednesday and per- sonally invited almost everyone in town--FOUR tables were filled for court whist and twelve for euchre! What kind of support and co-opera- tion do you call that? This Scout Hall we are working for is as much. for one Cub or Scout as another and not one Mother will object to her cub or scout using it, even if she has done NOTHING towards building it. I personally think there are a lot of Mothers who should be heartily ash- amed of themselves. Of course there were various rea- sons last Wednesday why some didn't come and the ones who were asked for food willingly donated it, but sure- ly a bridge game or a show could be given up once a month to attend the meetings for such a good cause. Since its beginning here the Boy Scout Mothers Auxiliary have made over-$890. clear of expenses and this with not more than ten REGULAR members. Certainly we could do far better with some stronger support.

The chief priests of the church, hating Jesus for what He was and what He stood for, were gathered at the Cross, there to be assured that their plans would be carried forward. It will not be from the principals of Christianity that many of us, this Ilaster, will be at the Cross, but through expediency, as were the priests of those early days.
