AC Samat The Weekly Member of Canadian Newspapers » THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE 4 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1956 are seeking to legalize Sunday Boxing and wrestling shows. In order to do this a government license must be obtained. The attorney's office has stated that no license will be granted for any such purposes. Now there really is nothing unusual about this. When Sunday sport is made legal it is to be expected that some people will endeavour to stretch things to the limit and it was only natural that promoters who stood to make money from such shows would try to put them on. The provincial government could be expected to resist such efforts since granting permission would serve to discredit the government in the eyes of its most responsible sup- porters. : ; What is unusual is to have Gordon How- ard, the C.B.C. news commentator, state outright in his daily broadcast that he sincerely hoped these sports would never be made legal Sunday fare. But this sports commentator does not lack courage. On previous occasions he has criticized - A Silver Lining We are apt these days to take a rather pessimistic view of the world situation and it is little wonder. Every time we pick up a newspaper we are confronted with news and views that emphasize the dire straits in which we find ourselves. Every day we hear some reference to a third world war which will mark the end of civilization. Speakers and commenta- tors never seem to tire of telling us some new and shocking fact which we have hi- thertoo missed or been unaware of._ One gathers that the world is in a dreadful. mess and that we are siting upon a hydro- gen keg which is about to shorten the. dis- tance from here to eternity at an alarm- ing rate. Certainly the world is in a dreadful mess ; certainly we live in dangerous times; but isn't it trué that we may be taking a rather morbid delight in looking at the gloomy side of things? Isn't it true that there may 'be some rays of hope which we have ignored in our review of the world situation? : Kd When one considers that for the first | NOTES AND COMMENTS + Speaking Out | Certain financial interests in Toronto ofthe hockey/association in the matter of i penalties to those players inging hockey into disrepute sportsman-like play and con- ag sharp and to the point. e. commentators could follow his goo/ example. Canadian, sport suffers from two serious faults? one is the con. ration on winning at any cost; the other, is the same serious concentration on the money angle. Sport has become a business and all too often a rather dirty kind of business. Spectator sport needs cleaning up. The public who pays the shot can force the clean-up very quickly by simply refusing to support the games . . . as a matter of fact this is beginnng to happen. It is be- coming more and more difficult to get a good gate. We hope this trend continues. until sport gets the housecleaning it so badly needs. time in the history of the world the under- privileged people have had plenty of op- portunity to find out that their way of life marked by disease and filth and star- vation is an unnecessary evil, then one is startled to realize that the world ferment isn't worse than it is. As a matter of fact we must marvel at the patience and the forbearance of the underprivileged, Looking at the condition of the peoples of the far-East one wonders why their re- volution hasn't come sooner; wonders too why it hasn't been more drastic and ter- rible than it has been; wonders at the tre- mendous capacity of people to suffer and to survive. ; Surely there must be great good in hu- manity; otherwise world strife would be infinitely more widespread and more de- vastating than it is. £3 ~ When we really ponder about man's world, it isn't the prevalence of evil that astounds us; rather, it is the fact that. there is so much that is good in the world. We wander 'why the commentators don't tell us more about it. PASSING SHOW union. : 4 - Time Flies! + By M.A.C.

These tdsks kept him out of a lot of mischief. With modern fa- cilities in. the home such work {is al- most non-existent and it is quite likely that some youngsters get into trouble because of their idleness. Jobs -before and after school aro not so common, either, as they used to be. The grocery store is swept out b¢ one of the adult clerks. Nearly every family has an' automobile and housewives pick up thelr purchases at 'the drug store and other- retail estah- lishments. Boys on bicycles used to deliver such items. : *One of the few jobs remaining open to &gys, and girls, too, is newspaper delivery. This is useful work that doesn't interfere with schooling, pays 4vell for the time put in and besides gives a youngster an insight into business practices, For he keeps his own accounts, collects from his cus- tomers and pays his own bills. Many successful business executives | received their first experience as newspaper carriers. This work for vouth has gained in importance as chores for youngsters have dwindled almost to the vanishing point. --Stouftville - Tribune -- WORKS PROJECTS ARE A 'POOR SOLUTION It begins to be apparent that federal and provincial governments hope to alleviate the present slump in em- ployment across Canada by introdue- ing various public works programs.

This fsn't just one editor's opinion, but is a general complaint from daily and weekly publishers right across the country, You ought to see the waste that goes into'the waste bas- ket every day--emanating from these government bureaux: Yes, and it's the poor, downtrodden taxpayers who pay for all this needless waste, Every time some little official de- cision is made there has to be a press release, with the Hon, Mr. So-and-So believe it unless you had access to a typical day's mail which comes to an editor's desk . . . and could see for yourself." .
