However, the majority apparently--and this is our own summary--didn't seem to know whether it-was possible, : So much for the main answer. about some of the ideas that came out of the conference? There seemed to be pretty general a- greement that the world had to work to- wards a. much freer market; that tariff and restrictions on trade di ~~ ther a peaceful world, in fact, they could * interfere with the trends that make for peace.

Prior to restrictions on the use of water, water consumption reached a new high on one day of 907,000 - gallons, : In the days following, the restric- tions through the co-operation of in- dustry, the residents and including the fact that two fairly large indus- "tries closed for holidays, the daily usage dropped to little more than - .. half of the all-time high. This in itself is good for serious thought regarding the merits of in- stalling meters in the residential dis- ._tricts., At present only industry is "metered _and all other consumers are - on a flat rate. ~ There are two reasons for the use of meters: The first is that selling water by measuremént is the only logical and fair way of conducting the business. It is the only way that does not result in gross inequalities and discrimination against some of the users in favor of others. The _# second reason is that metering is the only practical method yet found for restricting excessive waste. The first reason is in the long run the controlling ome. Tt is unanswer- able. In itaelf it is sufficient reason , for the adoption of a metering. sys .

The By-law passed three readings without a djssenting voice, while a number of delegations from Beach Associations and from the "Master Association" stood by. One year ago, North Gwillimbury had been mindful of the effect on Sutton hotels and businesses by an election on a Saturday, so passed a resolution to change the elections if Sutton, Georgina and East Gwillim- bury were in agreement. * se DIGS UP 1833 TOKEN _ IN .

TOO MUCH INTERFERENCE BY ZO AMERICAN LABOR © If any citizen. of the United Stages attempted to interfere with Canadian affairs the result is a foregone 'con- +-clusion, There would be fireworks. Yet it appears: that once again the U.S. head office of an international labor union is rumning. things in Canada. + LE, Fron Washington headquarters of the Teamsters' Union, AFL. has comg -a directive dismissing A, F. MacArthur from the Union's Canad- ian staff. Mr. MacArthur has been with the union for 16 years; for se- ven years he was staff representa- tive of the International in Canada. The speculation is that the Mac- Arthur dismissal stems' from a move by the union's new president, David Beck, to consolidate his power within the union. Beck replaced Dan Tgbin " as head of the Teamsters' last! fall. Tied in with all-this is that the union's Detroit boss, James Hoffa-- who is reportedly unfriendly to the dismissed Canadian--assumed power over the Windsor local of the union; then led the Windsor. group in strike MAURICE BODINGTON ----Genial Maurice Bodington is a fa- vorite among grown-ups and children wlike. For the adults Maurice reads: prose and poetry on Bod's Scrapbook, heard Sunday nights on the Dominion network, Also lending a hand are singer Jimmy Shields and organist Quentin Maclean, -- preparations after the Toronto office of the union had accepted a settle- ment in the current wage dispute. There are two more significant items in this story. One is that De- troit's Hoffa is expected to assume power over the entire Canadian sec- tion of the Teamsters. The second is that David Beck, supreme author- ity in the Teamsters, was: recently described by Fortune magazine as an ambitious gentleman whose goal is to control the entire distribution sys- tem in the United States. This is not the first example of the. Canadian section of an international 'union coming under. thé dominance of its U.S. headquarters. A year 'ago the steelworkers in Canada de- manded and got wages equal. to-those - of American steelworkers--a- policy that could hardly help but have been + worked out in the Pittsburgh hend- quarters of the steel union. And there have been other instances. For Canada, as a nation, the situa- tion is hardly a healthy one. --Canadian Statesman. pa TOO BAD, BUT TRUE Across: Canada, local Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade, in cooperatiop with their national fed- eration--The Canadian Chamber of Commerce--are focussing the best minds of city, town and hamlet, on the goals of good citizenship, good It is important that Bowmanville citizens are not sufficiently interested in this community-building organization to restore its Chamber of Commerce. We understand Bowmanville is one of two towns in Ontario with a popu- lation of over -5,000 that hasn't a Chamber of Commerce. There are over 200 Chambers of Commerce In Ontario. «One often wonders why this town lacks the vision, the fgith and the courage of other communl- ties who are united in their efforts to share in the prosperity and the tremendous development which is go- ing on all over this great Dominion, The Chamber's tradition: of com- light at the organization's 24th An- nual Meeting, to be held in Edmon- ton, Sept. 14-17. One full' session will be devoted to the subject "De- veloping Board and Chamber Activ- "ity at the Community Level". Dis- cussion will point up the fact that this is a real "grass roots" move- ment, reaching down to the "smallest businessman in the country.

Canada's Productive forests total 712,462 square miles, Spy Ring in Canada Igor Gouzenko, the Russian cipher clerk who exposed a Communist spy _ ring in: Canada in 1045, is likely to become a best-selling novelist, ac- cording to Blair Fraser, Ottawa edi. tor of Maclean's Magazine. "Gouzenko has written a three- hundred-thousand-word . novel of life inside Soviet Russia," Fraser reveals. "It is probably the only creative work "extant which tells what the USSR Is like to its own citizens." iN x . In the current issue of Maclean's, Fraser. describes his secret rendez- vous with Gouzenko who has been in hiding under the. protection of the RCMP for the last eight years, and will be for the rest of his life, Fraser reports that Gouzenko told him, "You are the first man who has seen snapshots of my house: and my wife and children." Since September 1945 Fraser says, Gouzenko has lived in six different dwellings under at least two_false names. "His child- ren do not know their real name and probably never will," Fraser adds. The novel, The Fall of a Titan, is the story of Maxim Gorky, the great Ruissian novelist who died three years after. his return to the Soviet Union in" 1933, the Maclean's: article says. Stalin and Berin also appear in the book which éxamines the mystery of Gorky's adherence to and subsequent renunciation' of the Stalinist regime and his death at the hands of Soviet secret police. Although Gouzenko can't take. a very active part in Canadian politics he discussed them with Fraser who quotes him as saying, "I do think -we should have stronger Opposition. I have seén the one-party system at first hand and this makes me think no party should have too big a ma-. jority." ; Fraser says Gouzenko praised ad- verfising as .a means disseminating information to all classes: "The pur- pose aiid effect of advertising over- shadows any faults that result from it by bad taste or the dishonesty of' some people." Fraser also mentions Gouzenko's approval of Canada's free-enterprise economic system, and his belief that, . "Without competition there can only be concentration camps." Greatest Danger to World Peace = The "greatest current - danger to world peace ig" the growing split be. 'tween Europe and America, accord. in to Hutchison, known. political writer. Bruce the well- The . current issue of Maclean's Magazine carries weeaveful appraisal of the internation- al situation by Hutchinson who Says, "Fhe most terrifying fact in the free world today is not Russia's strength or Europe's weakness. It is the dry rot steadily undermining the friend- ship of the old world and the new". "In Britain the quiet but bitter. re- sentment against American policies and, worse, against American people, is so deep and has grown so fast 6f late that statesmen hardly dare to discuss it in public," Hutchison says. The Maclean's article explains that lack of understanding is responsible for ill feeling between the two con- tinents. "The United States is pre- sented as a wicked caricature in Eur- ope and Europe as a preposterous fairy tale in the United States," Hutchison says. "The caricature of United States life is largely of its own making through the mischievous agency of Hollywood, McCarthyism, the lunatic fringe of the Congress and the man- ners of Americans abroad," he adds. Europe in general, and Britain in particular, is having a hard time ad- justing to a secondary role in world affairs, Hutchison comments. "Anti- Americanism is to a large extent an escape mechanism to cover Europe's own sense of weakness and depend- ence," hé says, Hutchison also mentions that Eur- ope. fears American troublemakers may touch off a world war through ignorance or malice;" Hé quotes one of Britain's most influentinl figures us saying, "Another world war would leave nothing here but an atomic swamp. Do you wonder we get the wind up a bit when we hear the luna- tics howling in Washington 7" Our only hope is a change in the trans-Atlantic climate, Hutchison believes.
