'@ "idealism. Published by Notes and SOME IMMUTABLE VALUES One of thé things that impresses us most in English Literature is its fine These are some of the things which are characteristic of that which is best, First, is the respect for individual personality . . .° no literature has emphasized more than ours the fact' that each individual is a personality who in the sight of God and before the law has certain inalienable rights to freedom of thought, word and deed. Along with this there has been the necessary emphasis upon responsibil- ity. There is no freedom without re- sponsibility . . . and that respons- ibility is always in terms of others . . so freedom as we find it in our liter- ature is a shared experience with others. ? Secondly, there is respect for women. No other literature has put women on so high a plane. The Greeks reserved their respect for women to an hon- oured few . . most women were slight- ly better than slaves and in many cases less valued. The corrupt Roman Empire treated women as playthings in the gamble they called life. Women, hood of itself, was hardly ever the subject for respect. But in our liter- ature, the women are depicted with a sweetness and light that is, neverthe- less, virile and steadfast and such a characterization of women has played a big part in shaping the traditions and customs of the English-speaking world. Thirdly, our literature, generally speaking, has emphasized the import- ance of character through the exer- cise of courage, loyalty, trustworthy- ness and perseverance. The struggle of the individual towards the de- velopment of integrity of character has occupied many of our finest 'writers. Now that the world is rapidly shrinking in gize, and customs and, traditions are rapidly yielding 'to chance, we find that our literature is being more and more influenced by the literature of other nations. Dur- ing this period of change, much that passes for good literature will be, in days to come, considered spurious, . through all great literature will al- ways run the idealism that 'sees man as a creature struggling to express that which is highest in his nature . . and unhappy as long as failure at. tends such. effort, SAMUEL FARMER ESTATE Comments THE. ECONOMIC CRISIS We have been hearing many con- flicting reports 'of what is going on in Great Britain.

We have heard, that things have been get- ting steadily worse.since the Labour more and more, we are hearing about ens the entire economy of the British Isles, but, also, threatens the employ- ada. What is it all about? i Flain questions seem to call for plain .answers but it's a lot easier to ask such questions than to get the answers, However, there are certain things we should take into serious consideration before jumping to hasty | conclusions ... . and it is our opinion that much of what has been appear- ing in the Press has béen in the nature ; of hasty conclusions without due con- sideration of all the factors involved. People are generally not governed by facts but by emotions and their! emotions are usually stirred up by propaganda and more often than not the propaganda is quite false and. misleading. There is no doubt that most of what we have heard about | Great Britain is propaganda for or on there . . . and there is little doubt that much of the propaganda is false. Certainly those who seek to decry the work done by the Labour govern- ment on the basis of the 'Dollar Shortage' 'are purveyors of false propaganda . . for. the 'Dollar Crisis' is worldwide and stems from the fact that world trade is divided artifically into three worlds . . .the world of the Pound Sterling . . . the Dollar and . + . the Rouble. What we are ex-' periencing today is the economic col- lapse of a monetary system which is incapable of solving the problem of world trade and world prosperity . . that its effects are most acute in Great Britain and in Russia in a re- sult of the Last World War . . this is propaganda straight,from the ex- perts of ther United Nations and we believe that it is--authentic and valid propaganda. The Dollar. crisis is a world crisis. : - Memorial Window Dedicated _ On Sunday morning last a Dedica- Ray ; $ pri 5 od . 2 . 7: 3 on ~~ B -- i ww, Lo . tion Ceremony was performed at the * Church of the Ascension, during the regular morning service, by Rev.

He gave up b scattered hits and 3 walks, Holborn, Sutton's ace righthander, against the experiments being carried claimed 7 whiffers and also issued 3: passes along with 6 hits but errors proved costly as he and his mates booted the ball around for 8 miscues. The Seniors took a 2 run lead in the 'last half of the second on 4 errors . and hits by Harper and Christie. The visitors counted a lone run in the fifth when Holborn drew a pass and scampered on Dunn's long triple into left field. - The homesters staged their biggest uprising in the sixth. Healey led off i with a scratch safety, Harper strolled, and Demara singled to cram the sacks. Cawker went down swinging and Dunn caught Healey napping at third to pick him off for a double play. Har- old Martyn then came through with a 3-bagger for 2 runs and later crossed the platter himself when Christie reached first on an error. Two errors, a walk and Connell's hit completed Sutton's total in the 7th. Harper topped off his pitching per- formance by blasting out a double in the seventh to drive in 2 more runs for Port and bring the scoring to a close.

At the same time we mentioned what we, in our ignorance as layman, believe to be a good method of clearing up said lake. Lake Scugog is officially recognized as a navigable waterway by the Dept. of Transport. Therefore, the expense of improvement evolves itself unto the Dominion Government. a When one views the basis of our democracy as being a government composed .of responsible men elected by taxpayers to a position where re- presentation is made on behalf of the taxpayers for the spending of their taxes for the advancement of their country, we easily see where the gov- side with®a single and double while Martyn for Port and Dunn for Sutton each had a triple. ernment is under moral obligation to to fulfill to the best of its ability the wishes of its electors. 0 with different interests, with an axe 2 to grind attaining the same result but 1 with a different object: e.g., a sharp 8 wood and the other to cut wood. 0 Logic tells us that our representa- tives cannot comply with the wishes of the individual, however, their duty is to do their level best to comply. with the wishes.of his electors 'en masse'. It follows then, that when one man, or one group of men, has an axe to grind he must find others, possibly axe in both cases, but one to split In this case the Yacht Clib wants E better sailing, the Rod and Gun Club wants better fishing and the Lions want a better village, What about the Business Men? Wo have not been able to ascertain their attitude in this thing. | Permit us to point out what they would gain if their added weight was thrown into this thing with enough determination to tip the scales. Being business men they appreciate that a certain percentage of their revenue is contingent upon the tour- ists, both transient and cottagers, who come to Port Perry every year. If Scugog is made more attractive the word will spread and more tourists will frequent Port Perry. The results 'of that need not be enumerated. | Permit us to ask you to consider (sending a letter to the M.P. pointing 'out the commercial advantages of a better lake.

FARMER PICNIC AND DANCE The annual Ontario County Junior Farmer Picnic and Dance was held at Geneva Park on- Friday evening, July 16th, A picnic supper was held at 6 o'clock after which there was a softball game and swimming. At nine o'clock, the crowd began to filter into the dance pavilion where an assortment of modern and old time dance music was provided by the Wilson Melodiers. ~ A crowd of some 300 young farmers and their friends showed up for an enjoyable evening of square dancing, barn dancing and round dancing. A good time was reported by all who attended. "Beacon" Oats were the Crop chosen by the Agricultural Society for the Field Crop Competition for 1949, with 12 entries. This is a new variety of Oats that has been making a place for itself among the many other varieties. With the exceptionally dry season we have had, it was a wonder that there was anything at all in any of the varieties. Mr.. L. H. Winslow, of Millbrook, judged the eleven crops, one being already cut and so was out. Of course, the best of the crops were very light, but Mr. Winslow remark- ed on several pieces that the Beacon oats had less sun blight than other varieties that were along side. Time only will tell whether the Beacon will hold its own with the Beaver, Ajax, and Erbans which have proved out so well.
