The special treat that sobered us all a little was to hear Andy Clarke's voice coming over the air again, as clear as a bell. to believe he had really gone on ahead of us.

Profit should come from worth- while activities, you would not con- sider an unworthy deal profitable no matter how much money was made from it. ' Profit does not imply profiteering. Profit is the regular channel of busi- ness growth and expansion. With- out frofit, no business can continue to survive, Profit is what is left in the business after expenses, wages, taxes, depreciation, interest and other costs have beén fully paid. --Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville LET THEM PAY THEIR "- OWN WAY By asking for a guaranteed annual wage the members of the United Auto- mobile Workers are virtually asking the rest of the country to underwrite their security. They are asking their industry to guarantee them 62 weeks pay during the year regardless of how much work there is for them, and in the long run the consumer must pay the shot. The consumer may not pay the shot in increased taxes, as he would if it were a government hand-out, but he will pay it in increased prices. The manufacturers simply cannot add this extra benefit without greatly. increasing the cost of pro- duction and price of automobiles. It would be far better for the auto- mobile workers: to underwrite their own security, 'The UAW, which is a large: and powerful union, could very easily collect a few cents per hour from each member's pay and. put it into a union fund. Thus, at the peak times when workers are earning big money because of: plenty of overtime at: time-and-a<half, the unemployment fund of: the: union would grow. This money could be returned to the work- ers during slack times when they are on short pay or:actually laid off. Such' a measure: would have no affect on the. cconomy at all. There would .be no increase in cost of pro- duction and no increase in prices. What is even more important, the automobile: workers would be paying the shot themselves instead of being supported 'in idleness: by all other workers. --Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville 0f Many Things By Ambrose Hills ) How Free Am I?

Then are published in hundreds of papers where I've never met the editor at all, where I have not the slightest pull or 'influence. I write exactly as I please. Editors who disagree with me consign me to the wastebasket, or publish me and let readers decide to believe or not believe, If my facts were wrong, they check me up fast. Because I'm a writer, I'm glad the press is still free.

Blackstock W.A. of the United Church met at the home of Mrs, Mervyn Graham on Tuesday p.m. The President Mrs. Hector Shortridge opened with a New Year poem. The Theme Song was sung and the Lord's Prayer re- peated. Mrs. Ross Duff gave the de- votional reading. A great number of "Thank" you's" for fruit, good cheer boxes and Christmas gifts were re- ceived. The roll call, "Sing, Say and Pay" was mostly answered by the pay- cellent report After considerable dis- cussion re plans for the year.and ap- pointing of committees, Mrs. Harold Swain took the chair and introduced Mrs. Geo. Wolfe who gave a very interesting talk on the life and work of Albert Schweitzer in Equatorial Africa. ~ Mrs, Gilbert Marlow gave two short readings "Just for a laugh" and "Just ordinary folk".

Sorry to report Mr. Geo. Wolfe was dudgeon writes, "You talk a lot about free enterprise. But how free is the man who has to go to work each morn. | ing when the factory whistle blows? How free is a hungry man? Indeed, ! since you talk so much about it, how free are you? ; Let's just ignore the sarcasm. and try to answer the man's questions, First, about that man that has to go to work: each morning when the factory whistle blows. Yes, I think he is free, and I also think he is lucky. In Canada, the factory whistle says, "Your job is here, if you want it, at fair pay, in decent surroundings. If-you don't like this factory you can! stay home, or you can try another : factory, or be a salesman, or a carpen: ter, or whatever you cam persuade customers you can do well. You can even start your own factory if enough friends have confidence in you to help you raise the money." That's quite a bit of freedom. - It would be quite different if all the factories were owned by the government,.and the government blew the: factory whistle. Then it would say, "Your supreme boss is calling. Get down to work-- or starve!" That's the kind of thing I fear when the government owns more and more every day. Now, the second question was: How free is a hungry man? Thank God, free men in free countries are not so likely to be hungry as are the citizens of slave states where the government is in supreme command. A hungry man is in a tragic position, whether 'he be free or slave, just as a man afflicted with 'small pox is in a tragic condition. But the hungry man; if free, has an opportunity in a million different ways to earn food for himself and his family. He can cotntry than he can anywhere else in the world. - And how free am I? Well, I still day in Toronto. : think I'm pretty free.

But when television came here three years ago, it-was discovered that Feyer was also Canada's fastest cartoonist. He has. almost the unique talent of being able to draw so quickly that he can illustrate a story while it's being told. This brought about the CBC-TV chil- dren's show "Telestory Time", in which Pat Patterson tells a quaint little fable (to the accompaniment of music by Doris Orb) while at his drawing board Feyer scratches away at a furious clip and makes the story even more colorful with his zany pic. tures. That's a portrait of Feyer, by- Feyer, which Feyer is holding. Scugog News The Head Euchre Club met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Don Gerrow last Friday evening. - Twenty members were present for a most enjoyable party.
