"AN OMINOUS OMEN OR A FARCICAL COMEDY 1 MacArthur was appointed Commander- in-Chief and given specific directions as to the conduct of the war in Korea. What he has done is to challenge not only the President of the United States who is his superior officer, but also the United Na- tions Assembly. There was no alternative; he had to be fired. An ordinary soldier would have been' fired when he first re- fused to obey orders. Instead, MacArthur allegedly has disobeyed three times. To disobey one's superior officer ap- parently means one thing to the ordinary soldier and quite another to a five star general. Ohe-is court-marialed ; the other is given a tumultuous welcome in two of the- largest cities of the United States. One is disgraced; the other just about deified. ries us, - = ¢ Few men can stand power. Is Maec- Arthur, perhaps,-one who cannot? While it is perfectly true that he accomplished wonders in the war with Japan; and while it is apparently true that he has done a good job in Japan with his occupation forces; his record in Korea gives rise to many questions. And above all his pre- sent conduct scems indefensible." How much understanding is there of democracy in America when they can land themselves in the present mess that now: confronts them. * How far away from * fascism when they can jump madly to the support of a man of>MacArthur's tempera- ment? ELE Much. of their present behaviour, par- ticularly that of a certain section seems to smack of the kind of hero worship en- gendered at a juvenile level typified by: the kinds doting on a Superman, or a Hop Along Cassidy. How can one see the role of the Repub- lican party in this affairs as anything other than one of ,the lowest political forms of chicanery and bombast ever to be perpetrated on the American.people?

There is evi- dence that now it is not so sure its fiscal measures are going to turn the tide of in- flation. How can they? The new sales tax is going to raise the cost of living index; the rising cost of liv- ing will bring about more demands for higher wages; higher wages are simply translated into prices and up goes the cost of living once more. It's a vicious spiral. People are convinced that automobiles are necessary toetheir-way of life and an mmereased tax simply means that somehow they must find more money to buy what they are determined to have.. The government claims that the cost of administering price controls will be around $400,000,000; but a figure like that should not deter them. Now prices are so high that control at the present level would seem injudicious . some will have to go back . . . how tar back no one seems to know and estab- lish a level. The only other way is through increased unemployment', . . this would drive wages down and eventually prices would begin to subside. Prices out ran wages; on the down-grade wages will be cut faster than prices.

Mr. Jetford explained different types of crafts that could be used tor a hobby, illustrating his talk with some very fine examples of the lnish- ed product. Wickerwork baskets founded on old quart oil containers made ornamental and utility baskets ut a cost of no more than twenty-two cents, A puppet dressed like the historical Marco Polo was an example of a craft that could be an interesting hobby.

Miss Parker, Home Economist of Port Perry High School, spoke at the girls' meeting on the history of smocking. She mentioned its use for practical garments, later demonstrat- ing the fundamental stitches and each girl teok home a sample. The roll call was answered by "My [favorite Hobby." "George Emmerson spoke on liability insurance at the boys' meeting. He told, us that the reason for the in- creased demand for this new type of insurance was that more people began to realize whem they were entitled to cluim damages on the grounds of negligence of the other party. Gieneral liability insurance would cover a situation such as when a farmer's cattle escaped their enclos- ure and damaged another persons property. If the farmers fence was faulty then he would be liablé for damages on the grounds of negligence. His Insurance would pay his lawyer's costs and other costs. : Employers liability -would cover a situation where a farmer sent his hired man up a ladder to repair a roof; the ladder had a loose rung and the man fell and hurt himself. That would be negligence on the part of the farmer and he would be liable for damages, thus the insurance would cover the costs; i Voluntary liability insurance works much the same way only there need be no court action involved. The farmer can merely assume respons- ibility for damages to anyone who is hurt due to his negligence. Lloyd Smith introduced George, stating. that he knew his insurance business really well and that a formal talk by George on the subject should prove interesting. ' "Byron Holtby thanked our speaker and he thought George would be busy the next few days selling liability in- surance, «The joint program was concluded rectory now being delivered here con- tains listings for subscribers in three! additional exchanges, A.
