Unaccountably they hide { No Titles For Canada ; Ba ~ Letters have been appearing recently in > the Canadian' press urging that we estab- lish in this country a titled nobility to give proper recognition to our aristocracy. The writers of these letters argue that there can be no worthwhile society. with- out a superior class to which the common man must direct his respect. In proof of such an astounding assertion they point - to Great Britain. Our study of history has disclosed noth- ing to support the idea that so-called aristocracy confers any benefit on any so---" ciety good or bad; it does just the opposite. 'The aristocracy of any society has been . the privileged group, exercising their privileges at the expense of their society _ not for the welfare of their society.

Let's hope the day will soon come when we see with clear eyes how ridiculous. it all is and learn to turn hr maments:into instruments of social wel- fare for the world.

Hon, James G. Gardiner, Minister of Agriculture to- day-urged-producers-to-follow-an-or-.. derly pattern in 'marketing finished 'cattle and cautioned that unseasonable selling of which there is now evidence could .only have a depressing effect on present markets and could lead to shortages later in the season. Mr. Gardiner stated that since January first, 53 per cent>of the cat- tle marketed in inspected slaughter- ing plants had graded Red or, Blue brand, 'compared to 43 per cent for the same period last year. This in- dicated a heavier marketing of fin- ished cattle than normal during the early part of the year. He drew an analogy between the present apparent trend in cattle mar-- Retings and that which occured with hogs in the latter part of December, Heavy hog marketings then had led to a shortage of pork in early Jan. uary and in some instances prices had been higher than they were n Dec- ember, The Minister pointed out that a sl- milar appeal to the United States cat- tle producers: to follows an orderly marketing pattern had been made re- cently by the U, 8. Secretary of Agri- culture, Ezra T. Benson. Mr. Benson had .emphasized that the U, 8, econ- 'omy is fundamentally strong with employment and incomes at a high level and that this promises more stability in cattle prices. iner said the same fundamental con- siderations applied to the Canadian situation. Following Mr. Benson's statement there had been a signifi- --fant..drop- in.-the previously. heavy U. 8. cattle marketings and prices since had shown some firmness, *"It is highly desirable", Mr. QGard- . Iner_ stated, "that Canadian produc. erg should follow an orderly market- ing pattern and that distributors should maintain a normal stock posi- tion in order to avoid the possibility of shortages later in the season", - The husband of the - Mr. Gard- * 5 Clipped Comments WHY SCHOOL TAXES ARE HIGH "School trustees of Aylmer, Que., are borrowing: $50,000 to 'build a mo: dern eight-room school, the debt to be repaid over a 30-year period." That comes from the Ottawa Journal but from an issue of 25 years ago. " To build a modern eight-room school today thg Aylmer trustees would have - to. get a loan of $200,000 to $260,000. Their. fathers of 50. years ago would have got the job done.with $10,000, ~One of the main reasons for the in- creasingly heavy school taxes is not all due, by any means, to inflated building dollars. Inflated ideas of what we should have in a so-called "modern" school play a bigger role. We are not satisfied with the plain building of a generation or so ago and the plainer rooms and equipment. Now many think a school is too prim- itive unless it has an elaborate and expensive auditorium, a gymnasium and swimming pool. We have buses to--bring the children to school.and tnke them home: We have elaborate and special rooms: filled with more elaborate equipment to teach sewing, cooking and carpentry, skills that children earlier in the century were expected to learn at home. Is it any wonder that our school taxes have been increased? And -- is it paying off in better schooling and better citizenship? --The Financial Post.
