SSL [ y < Thursday, 'December 22nd, 1955 Of Many Things GOD'S WORLD " Any of my old school mates can tell you I was was rio angel, but for some reason the High School principal took a liking to me. I was cregy - -about writing, and he thought 1 sliowed pro- mise. Maybe. that is why I remember : 80 clearly some of the things he said "to me, , One day, when I was turning in a carelessly. written composition, he kept me after class. | resented the = curtain lecture he gave me at the time. But I have been grateful to him = for it many times since. He quoted to me part of George i 4 Herbert's: poem, The Elixir: Teach me, my God and King, In all things Thee to see, And, what I do in anything, To do it as for Thee. He assured me that no.nan could be profoundly happy unless-he-consecrat- .ed his work to God. --~ And that once having so' consecrated his work, he couid never again be sloppy or care- less, So last month, when the famous his. torian, Dr. Arnold Toynbee spoke in 'Albany, I was much impressed to hear him say: 'It seems certain, on the . evidence of past history, that Man's work can be healthy and benificent only when it is part--and a subordi: nate part--of Man's religion, When 'Work has been divorced from re. ligion. Work has always become: de« monic and destructive, "He then began to quote a poem.

A. Forsyth, president of the Dominion Steel and Coal Cor- poration, for labor leaders to revise their philosophy and begin acting in a dian Club of Toronto, recognized that the all too common attitude of labour grow up; and that many if not all those who espouse it are insincere." Mr. Forsyth went on to say: "Cana- dian labor today enjoys a standard of living which is the envy of his count erparts the world over. Pensions, in- surance, welfare measures, paid vaca- tions and other fringe benefits, 80- 'called, the right under the law to or- ganize -and: bargain freely with' his employér--all these rights and privi- legés are not, to my mind, the out. ward and visible signs of a secret, invisible oppression or exploitation, and I have yet to hear of an employer who, having granted any one of them over the bargaining table, endeavored to withdraw them." In fact, it must be obvious to any unprejudiced observer that talk of oppression of labor by employers is completely out of date. On the lowest grounds, those of expediency, the modern employer has found that strikes do not pay, and he is willing to meet demands from labor when these are economic and fair, dustries where labor's representatives are willing to recognize fairness and can bargain in good faith and tem- perately, disputes get settled quickly and without violence or newspaper headlines. : What My. Forsyth wishes union leaders to realize is that the privileges labor now enjoys entail responsibili- ties. "The time has arrived", -he said, "if indeed it is not overdue, whet they must bring to the hursinin table more than the threadbare phil- ogophy of pretended economic, sla eeking release and redress. The ¢ cessions which they now demand they must themselves concede. - Against the shorter work week and the guar- anteed annual wage, industry must have an assurance of maximum pro- ductive effort and guaranteed contin- nity of operation." Admittedly, it is easier for a labor lender to indulge in vituperation of ~mployers than in reasoned argument. That, too, is a mark of immaturity, which probably disgusts more people than it impresses. Collective bargain- ing is now a recognized process of in- dustrial relations, but it cannot thrive on an atmosphere embittered by strikes, name-calling and illegal pick- eting. If union leaders wish to .de- serve the respect of the public, they must accept the obligation 'of re- nouncing-violence in-words and-action and rely on negotiations conducted in good faith. > District Doings NO' APPROVAL FROM MUNICIPAL BOARD Sutton's proposed water and sewer systems hit a snag this week, with a letter from Owen R. Chapman, secre- tary of the Ontario Municipal Board, indicating that there was some doubt as to whether the Board would give its approval to the project, to which rosidents gave a substantial "yes" vote last August, Members of the Village Council held '| a special meeting last Thursday, and appointed two of their members, Geo. Lamont and William Weldon, to meet | the Municipal Board and argue the village's case. The Board's letter raised two points, First was the effect that the project would have on thé debenture debt. It was pointed .out that if ft went through the total debt of the village would be in the neighborhood of $700,- 000, against a present assessment of $1,6000,000, This the Municipal Board pointed 'out, "seems entirely out of proportion." The letter dealt, Yorondly, with the offect on taxes. It pointed out that if the project was approved it would mean an immediate tax rate increase of eleven mills, on top of a five mill increase effective this year. The Board also expressed concern over the amount of tax arrears. MARIPOSA MAN FINDS LINDSAY HONEST TOWN . « Hundreds of people crowded the main streets and stores of Lindsay Saturday and in the crowd was Mr. Howell, of Oakwood. He was a very | surptised gentleman when he discover- ed he had lost his wallet containing a cheque for one hundred smackers. Mr. Howell, however, was a fortun- ate man for his wallet was found by an honest citizen who immediately in- formed the police, An eye witness to the incident -re- marked: "Don't call the police--you Mr. Howell was delighted to recover the lost article and was happy in re- warding the finder. » In in-| eve wis ieber --Canadian Statesman I will need that money for Christmas."

It was an-anti-noise by-law patterned after the City of Toronto. This by-law was introduced by Chief | of Police Leonard Donner as a means to counter the dog problem in the vil- lage of Sutton. The by-law ealls for a fine not exceeding $60.00 for any violation of the act. The act limits almost every type of noise and has™a clause that will stop the continual problem of barking dogs. This by-law was introduced after Council had received a large number of complaints, each month, from resi- dents of the village who were disturb- ed nightly by the incessant barking of dogs. THIEVES BREAK INTO THREE STORES AT BETHANY Three places of business in Bethany were entered by thieves in the early hours of Saturday morning. Mansell Wright, Postmaster, was the first to discover that unwelcome intrudeers had forced their way into the Post Office, evidently using a metal bar to force open the locked door. No theft is reported although the office was ransacked, There is no cash kept on the premises after hours. . "Andrew 1. Watson, general mer- chart, found~the thieves had smashed a window to gain entrance to his store. Missing was a quantity of meat, can- ned goods and some clothing. Charles Reynolds, hardware mer- chant, at the same time reported his store door forced open, Among the missing were an axe and nn extension trouble light, Almost as soon as the thefts were discovered and complaints sent in to the Bowmanville division of the Pro. vineial Police, investigators from that station roported the apprehension of three youths in the vicinity of Man. chester. The youths had the stolen goods in their car and will appear in court on charges of breaking and en- tering. OPP Watson of Bowmanville staff was the investigator, PONDS LIMITED TO BUILD PLANT IN MARKHAM Chesbrough-Pond's (Canada) Ltd, will merge the operations of their To. ronto and Montreal plants and offices in a new plant in Markham, E, A, Williame, president, announced last week, ver was left out of council this year|. i 1 7 yok"; A new year--and resolutions ave be- ing listed or mentally noted, for every year brings with it a nostalgic survey of the past and renewed hope for the future." But evenbefore hope is class- ificd, or stimulated by renewed en- deavour, it is well to pause for a mom- ent to count our blessings. Hospitals have good reason to take stock of the good things which come their way from a rich variety of sources. High on our list are the press, radio, and television, It is not -possible to evaluate in dollars" the contribution they make in publicizing so generous- ly the activities and needs of our hos- pitals. In addition, each news item calling attention to community pro- jects on behalf of the hospital is, in itself, a contribution to the hospital's welfare. Thus, we pay tribute to the press and other news media, and: ex- tend a very grateful "thank you". A survey of press clippings, gather ed from all parts of the Province, proves over and over again that, in the last analysis, "hospitals ave people". The hospital may stand as "the sen- tinel that never sleeps' --but always manning the bulwarks, are the people of the conimunity who, individually or in groups, contribute time and energy and money to make sure that the sen- tinel is supported in strength. Special tribute is therefore paid to women's hospital auxilaries, to service clubs, industry, and other organizu- tions and community groups, and to the many individual volunteer workers who generously serve the hospitals. Their projects combine to produce an exciting pattern of activity which cov- ers the whole of our Province. "It is not possible to mention specific clubs and groups, for always some hospital" projects, or do. voluntary service in hospitals as their particular contribution, would be omitted. Never- theless, hospitals are aware of the loyal- endeavour of all such groups, and count theiy efforts and financia assistance as rich blessings of "sup- port. There is a wealth of ingenious plan- ning in the projects which spring to! life as these groups go into action, and it is heart warming. to note contribu- tions to building funds, and special furnishings and equipment which vur- jous hospitals have received as a re- JOSF!

Theirs, too, is a dedication to the Christian philosophy of service to our fellowmen, and theirs, too, is a contribution with. out which no hospital can flourish and Yow. : Thus hospitals count their blessings in terms of human endeayour on their behalf. Thus, also, are we strength- ened to our task and, at the beginning of a new year, we resolve anew to merit this generous aid heart-warm- ing support by keeping the service of | our hospitals at the highest and best possible standard. On behalf of the Ontario Hospital Association, I extened our grateful ap- praciation to those who serve our hos- pitals, and wish for all a bright and merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
