He maintains that there is not one 'Asia but innumerable communities of people who are not white, are not well fed, and do not trust or admire the people of the They have little else in common. The general situation in Asia is one of seething unrest and the two choices which confront the peoples of Asia are Com- munism or Socialism ; Capitalism they hate. This is a fact that we must accept argues Mr. Cooke. The Asians, too, hate typical Western attitudes and customs, dismissing - them as cheap and tawdry. Nor have they any use for the advertising, slick kind of West. The Perfidy of the Republicans ) The Leaders of the Republican party in the United States have found a new use for whitewash. They are using it liberally --one of the few liberal moves of the party--to try and cover up the notorious Senator McCarthy.

The merchants decided to remain open every evening until 9 o'clock from 'Friday, December 17 umtil Christmas Day. There was some dis- cussion on whether stores should close at 7 o'clock on Christmas Eve, but the majority felt they should remain open until 9 p.m. for the convenience of last-minute .shoppers.

It was also agreed that; since Christmas falls on a Saturday and Boxing Day, which is normally a holiday, falls on a Sunday rather than a week-day, Boxing Day" will be ob- served on Monday, December 27 and stores will be closed on that day, It was pointed out that very little busi- ness is done on the first open day. fol- lowing a holdiay in any ease. -------- PP SCHOOLS REOPEN IN DYSART TWP.

The increase in the price of steel is the direct re- sult of the recent hike in steelworkers' wages, The public will have to pay a million dollars more for the cars and trucks produced by this particular company. The individual ear buyer may not have a means of recovering his share of the increase but the truck user will no doubt pass his, part on to the public. Thus the price level of consumer goods moved by trucks can be expected to rise, even if only slightly, and the public will pay that. Of course the time comes when the public can not or will not pay the higher prices. Man- agement is very much aware of this, Some union leaders apparently do not believe in the existence of buyer re- sistance, or choose to ignore it. But decreasing sales prove it beyond a doubt, : As individuals, union members--like other Canadians--will not buy goods when they feel prices are too high. But as producers of goods, sellers of goods in effect, they do not believe the public will balk at rising :prices. Unions may compel higher wages, but they cannot compel the public to Management is fully aware of this. Union leaders who ignore it will sim- ply create unemployment, whether they make steel, cars and trucks, or any other products, --Canadian Statesman BUTTON POLICE BILL $15,000 COUNTY LEARNS : Unless the provincial government is prepared to underwrite the cost of maintaining York County Police, the force unless there was a drastic this year. This possibility loomed strong when York County Council unanimously a- greed that it could not afford a police force unless there was a dratsic change in the distribution of fines or unless the government paid mainten- |. ance costs, . The question of where the money is coming; from to pay for the force's upkeep, is one of a long list of finah- cial problems facing council 'since 12 former municipalities became part of Metropolitan Toronto a 'year ago. © At that time, the Attorney-Gener- al's department agreed to pay the force's maintenance costs for one year. A special committee will meet offi- cials of the department and the former county municipalities to discuss the future of the force. Some members have already gone on record as oppos- ing continuance of the force. 'A committee report said that in the past year, the force had devoted 90 percent -of its time to Metropolitan Toronto affairs and 10 percent to county police work. 'The main function of the 16-mem- ber force is to serve the courts, take care of records and transportation of prisoners. It consists of a chief, one .detective, two sergeants, a- matron and. 10. constables. The system of fines distribution al- so came in for a barrage of criticism from couneil. Under an existing ar- rangement, all fines from provincial police: prosecutions go to the govern- ment. Fines from municipal police prosecutions are distributed to the government and 60 percent to the municipality. "We are being robbed right and left fn our own courts," charged Reeve La- mont of Sutton. He said that because of offenses mainly by outsiders his village was saddled with an annual .$15,000 police bill, [3 GHOPPING Jp WEEKS LEFT! NY | Anna Meagher, Oakville and Wm. Top Price of $20,000 erage over all breeds for the Sale of the Stars series held in connection with the Royal Winter Fair at Tor- onto -was established as 'a 7.months- old Holstein bull calf brought $20,100. and thirty-one head sold for $67,326. for an average of $2,168. This com- pared with the previous top Sale of the Stars average of $2,128. establish. ed at the Holstein Sale a year ago. The $20,100 bull, Rosafe Signet, was consigned by Dr. Hector I, Astengo, Brampton, and bought by J. J. E. Mc- Cague, Alliston. Despite his tender age, he had stood sixth in a strong class at the Royal the day before. Only one other Canadian livestock auction has ever exceeded this aver- age, and only one other higher price has been paid in a Canadian auction. Both these figures were established in 1946 when Glenafton Killarney was sold by J. J. E. McCague, Alliston, to the Waterloo Cattle Breeders, Water- loo, Ontario, for $40,000. and an aver- age of $2,201. was established at the All-Canadian Holstein sale. Many of the top breeders of Can- ada, U.8.A., and South America were bidding on Signet. Excitement ran high as the bids increased in size and syndicates were hurriedly formed as the price mounted. Included amongst the top bidders were: R. G. McLaugh- lin, Oshawa; J, M. Fraser, Streetsville; H. L. Guilbert, Vercheres, Que.; and Norris/Earnshaw, Pennock, Pa. The Royal Grand Champion female, Maycliff Reflection Snowflake, who is a paternal sister of the $20,100. bull, sold for $4,200. She was bought by Albert Stagg, Oakville, for an unspe- cified~ South American buyer.

McGee, Norval, Ont. for the junior champion female, and $2,600. to J. E. Houck, Brampton, Ont. for the junior champion bull. He also bought a heifer from Roy Ormis- ton at: $1,200, .a three-year-old from Gordon Innes, Woodstock, at $1,260., a bred heifer from Wilfred James, Sarnia, Ontario, at:$1,450., a three- year-old from J. B. Briscoe, Northcote, Ont., at $950, and an open yearling from J. J. E. McCague, at $876. Uruguayan buyers, Uerfils Eche- varria.and Eduardo Steiner, San Jose, Uruguay, paid $2,800. to J. E. Houck for an Excellent cow, and $1,660 to H. L.Giillbert, Vercheres, Que. The latter was the highest price of the day for a bred heifer. Sixteen head were sold for export, ten to South America and six to the U.S.A. 2 Five bulls averaged $5,720. each; eleven milking females $1,850; seven bred heifers $1,114.; four open year- lings. $1,643.; and four heifer calves $1,026. Some two thousand breeders jammed the auction ring. Only seven head sold for less than $1,000. and ten reached the $2,000 mark. Other top prices included: $2,000. each received by N. W. McConkey, Peterboro; C. J. Cerswell, Beeton; Findlay Dairy Farms, Edgely; from Bousquet, La Presentation, Que., from W.

The local Chamber of Commerce, dur- ing its short lifetime has done much to push the town ahead. Largest single contribution has been. the or- ganization of the Trade Fair. Others I might have done it, but it remained.for the Chamber of Commerce to really organize the event and put it over successfully. Likewise, 'the Santa Claus Parade has been fostered and annually organized by the organiza- tion. Numerous small improvements have been made by council only through the urging of the Chamber of Commerce. Much more could be done if the group was better supported. -----Stouffville Tribune HOSPITAL CARE After reading some harsh words by a doctor about the way hospitals are being run, we sought out Dr. GG. Har- vey Agnew, who had just been elected President of the Ontario Hospital As- sociation. He is also head of the De- partment of Hospital Administration at the University of Toronto, president of the American Association of Hog- ital Consultants, past president of the American Hospital Association and a formdr sceretary of the Canadian Hospital Council. : Were hospitals spending too much money on non-essentials -- buildings and equipment not really neccessary for the care of the sick? "I don't think so," Dr. Agnew said. "Research today is team-work. It involves skill- ed individuals and elaborate equip- ment. Naturally, it is done best in a large centre. But more and more, what we might call the community hospital is getting the certified spec- inlist on its staff. = These hospitals are developing good laboratories and X-ray department and are installing quite elaborate equipment. To-day many procedures are being carried oud in fairly small hospitals which a gen- eration ago---not even that long, just a few years ago ----- would have been considered as only possible in a large metropolitan hospital, Major opera- tions and highly technical diagnoses, such as a diagnosis of tuberculosis of the kidney, an extremely complicated procedure, are being performed as a matter of course in small community hospitals. Now, too, medical staffs in the small hospitals are organized are made have a poor sense of the ob Ah for. work more effectively. They are really giving a scientific service to their communities" Hospitals apparently have no dif- ficulty "from an accounting point of view" in handling patients contribut- ing to a variety of heath insnrance schemes. Would a uniform, compul- sory system be better? "i'm for the voluntary system of hospitals as we know them today," Dr. W. Dougas Picrcey, executive director of the Can- adian Hospital Association, told us. "I believe it is very important that the voluntary system of hospitals as we know them he perpetuated. This vol- untary system can be most perma- nenitly assured if the prepayment of hospital eare is largely left to the independent prepaid plans. 1 think we've demonstrated in Ontario that the voluntary system can work, bear- ing in mind the high percentage of the population now covered. There is a field, however, for government co- operation with certain groups, such as indigents, Mother's Allowance cases and the chronically ill.

The other day a weekly newspaper editor forwarded to me a letter he had received as a result of one of my columns. With the letter he scribbled this note: "I know the fellow who wrote this letter. He is a fine man. He wns wounded overseas, and his brother wag killed. He's not asking this question for fun. Please give his letter your very best attention." The letter was too long to repro- fuce here. But it said, in part, "I operate a service station, and I have a small used car lot besides. TI am work- ing hard from seven in the morning often until late at night, 1 think I believe in freedom just as much ns you do--but how am I going to do any- thing about it? I think I did my share. My brother gave his life fight- ing for it, why should 1 get in a lather? - You claim that every man should take time out to say his bit for freedom. Do you honestly think that anything I could say would help?" Well, that's a hard letter to answer. Obviously, the writer of that letter is, whether he appreciates it or not, fight- ing for freedom. He is working hard, building a business, making jobs for others, supporting himself rather than asking for support. But I also hope that whenever he finds an opportunity, whenever he hears some crackpot hold- ing forth on the virtues of centralized planning, that he will speak up. He may not speak often, but when he does his words will earry more weight than those of politicians or propagandists, EEE Sapa w yy i 3 LRT AS Rk i OF Ea a ag a SH sibly the ideal would be a voluntary: a Par -- KA nt . a SS a iy ad vy rep yt" rp on et Ad RS hd - RA apt
