To-day, for the first time perhaps h the entire history of mankind, the world is un- dergoing a 'great revolution. There have been great: revolutions in the past but none that encompassed the whole of mankind. This present reyolution is not confined geggraphieally to any single Western state, nor to Western society as a whole, It is in every sense a world-wide revolution embrac- ing not only the political agpect of living. but also its cultural and religious mainsprings. It is a revolution which will have apparent- ly one or two completely: opposed outcomes. The revolution may well end in the self- destruction of the entire human race. Since 1945, for the first time in history, it has been possible for us to destroy ourselves collec- tively in a great holocaust of genocide -- a new word. invented to describe humanity's. suicide. The other opposed alternative, and it is the only one, is that the present revolu- tion will end in a world-wide fusion of all peoples, nations and religions, The whole human race must become a human family. But our present world has: not yet even achieved political unity, nor. CAN we even foretell how: this should be done. ' But in spite of our blindness with regard to ways and means the revolution goes on at an ever- It is being brought about and speeded up by the terrible momentum in the progress of Western technology. But at the same time that our inventions sweep us irretrievably towards one world, local gov- ernment with the full support, or almost the full support of their subjects 'are striving with_might and main to arrest the process, They try to do this by setting up all sorts of obstacles -- custom barriers, import: quotas, currency regulations, immigration restrie- tions, police inquisitions, and iron curtains, Wlhatever our present government may say or do the tide that is now working for the unification of the world will go rolling: on irresistibly. It cannot be stopped before it has brought upon Mankind one or other of the two alternatives. which now face us: either union or self-destruction. Meanwhile, as this revolution progresses, History has begun to take on a new spiritual dimension, largely as a result of the pioneer work done by the Western psychologists. in Fire Hazards This has been a disastrous season for fires and the loss of life has been tragically high, Many families have been wiped out. Usual- ly these families have been families in which the children were quite young. ~-- Fires apparently tend to occur in homes i the mother has an especially hard time of it; families in the low-income bracket where make-shifts and expedients are re sorted to in order to carry on, Social agencies might give some attention to this problem.

"© Psychology is now beginning to reveal to us the other sub-econscious nine-tenths of the great spiritual psyche. Living together as a single family is the only future that Mankind can have. Yet the fest of learning to live together is going to be very difficult even if it is urgently neces- sary. Until our day Man's improvement of his physieal means of communication lagged far behind his advance in eivilization on the spiritual plane. So, for the last 5000 to 6000 years our cultures and our religions have been developing more or less in isolation from one: another and. therefore have been growing apart. Now we have come to live . side by side in a world divided up into cult- ural compartments.

We have suddenly become one another's next:door neighbour physically, while our héarts and minds remain still far apart. When mutual strangers meet, mutual ignor- ance: breeds mutual fear, and mutual fear breeds mutual hosptility. - Out of that hos- tility may well come the final spark to de- stroy our world. We need time for the dif- ferent peoples of the world. to become familiar with one another's way of life, time in order to learn first to tolerate them, and then to appreciate them as parts of a unified We can continue to emphasize past differences and we can picture these differences as precious . a much more dif- heritages which we must preserve even at the price of heavy sacrifice , , . but if we do we will he eventually called upon to pay the final price in the destruction of human- ity, What we must do. is to emphasize pre=-- sent convergences and reach out to new ways of thinking that will serve to hring about world unit. There is nothing else left for ~ us if we are to survive. erous practices and procedures common to this kind of household. Certainly the local authorities should be alert to their special responsibilities, too. There should be a systematic check of buildings in which these fires tend to occur. There is little doubt that carelessness and thoughtlessness as well as ignorance play a major role in accidental fires. A little money spent constructively on preventive measures would do much to reduce the enormous loss hy fire; and more information rightly dis- tributed would-do much to cut down on the fatalities, How many people know, for in- stance, how to ensure a safe escape from a smoke-filled Interior or how to slow up the spreading of the fire through a house? _ gends onthe least provocation, When Clipped Comments FARM GROUPS NEED BETTER PUBLIC RELATIONS The Editor of the Statesman has oc: oecasionally been labelled, or accused of, being "an armchair farmer." Some- times we take such a comment as .q compliment and other times not so comlimentary. But whatever the "tag" n has always endeavoured to be tis outh-piece of Durham County farm. ers in presenting thelr side of the story. In other words we try to do a public relations job in their behalf, from the .grass rogts level, which is lamentably lacking in so many farm organizations. Ofter the dally presa is accused of "neglecting to publicize the farmers' probléms dn thelr news and editorial columns, It is not our. intention to plead theicase for the dailies on this subject, for it is our observation that most metropolitan and provinelal dailies are quite happy.to give gen- erous space to important agricultural subjects. The trouble, ps we gee it, is that the importance of public relations with the pressi: There is one exception to class: It a the Canadiay Holstein iki Association of Bantfa,] which ewvarlastinly floods the daily and weelly press with their propa. one -of their breed makes a record in | neglected courtesy is a common weak- prize winner at a fair or exhibition.

Our suggestion. is that every farm group should have a public relations director, or publicity secretary, to keep the public informed on the news and problems of their particular group. It will cost money, but it is an invest- ment that will pay big dividends. If the O0.A.C. hasnt a course in public relations it should hve one.

The editor of the Oshawa: Times. Gazette ir his editorial fn the Satur- day issue did some commendable boast- ing shout: Oshawe Rotary Club which was honoring the ity" officimls with an annual clyle day Lore at its menting on Monday. Up to that point the editor ran tue to form, Byt when he went on to say: "Oslisya is in the upique position: of being the only community in Ontario milk production, top sale's price or a first luncheon of the year to do honor to those elected and appointed civic representatives . . We have not been able to find any other Ontario community in which this is done", we take exception to this statement, Brother Hood, your eyesight must becoming dimmed or your memory is slipping in your old age, for right in' your neighbouring town of Bowman- ville our Rotary Club has been ob- serving a similar ceremony of honor- ing our civic officials and administrat- ors, dating back at least 28 years. How do we know? The writer of this com- ment iss a charter member of the Rotary Club (1924) and during his tenure of office as Mayor in the years 1926 and 1930 this gesture of good- will was observed by our Rotary Club. As further proof for the Motor City editor the record shows that the late F. L. Fowke, a former Mayor of Osha- wa and an M.P. for South Ontario, was guest speaker at our civic luncheon on Feb. 6, 1980. To keep the record un- broken our Rotary Club is again cele- brating this important annual civic honor by entertgining the city fathers and their retipue'of deputiés and ather officials on Friday night when it is expected Hon. Wm, Goodfellow, Mini- ster of Municipal Affairs; will be the speaker. The editor of The Statesman is send- ing a special invitation to the editor of the Oshawa Times-(azette to be his fraternal guest op this oeession, so that "Mac" will see first hand that Bowmanville Rotary Club doesn't take second place to its paternal club in Oshawa. --Canadian Stdtesman, in which a serylce club sets aside its ve District Doings "GOVERNMENT SHOULD DO * SOMETHING ABOUT ~ HIGH SCHOOL BOARDS" town severely criticized the High School Area Board at Tuesday night's council meeting, "Talk about co-oper- ation with this Board.

The Reeve made the statement after receiving a bill from the Oshawa Genefal Hospital for $2,167. FAWN SEEN IN BOWMANVILLE Roy Ellis and Mr. and Mrs. Matt. Harrison wondered if they were see- ing things shortly after 5 p.m. Monday when they spied a small deer running north on Liberty street as they were going home from work at the Boys' Training School. The fawn ran up to about Welling- ton street, where it veered off to the north-east and ran across the fields north of the Vincent Massey Public School. : It turned out that there was a logical explanation for the presence of the fawn. Tt was heing chased by the days of Keith Connell, Manager of the Cream of Barley, who is the rightful owner of it. Mr, Connell said that the fawn is the off8pring of a buck and doe which escaped from the park in June, It was Korn in an orchard near Bowmanyi)le and he has made several attempts to capture it dnd its parents, The doe was captured shortly after Christmas but the buck and fawn aré still at large. Mr, Cannell hopes to capture the fawn this winter as it hangs around the park when there is -- snow in the ground. LINDSAY .--Mayor A. E. Hick, of this, Fall.

Of Many Things By Ambrose Hills RAILROADERS I've a soft spot for railroaders that goes back to when I taught out Libau way in Manitoba and the agent opened up one night to dig out an express parcel for me. He did the same for many a farmer. Some took advant- age, "Rosey will open for me," say. "He don't ming premises anyway." = So Rost vy worked longer and harder than his 'ompany Intended or expect- ed. Modt agents do. They didn't mind Mack in the days when their in- come compared favourably with the rest of the community. Now they feel blue when farmers drive up in shiny cars after hours to ask for ex- press. Lspeeially when they know the railroads still earry grain at low turn-of-the-century prices. ~ When I read about salary negotia- tions now going on, 1 asked an rail- road agent friend if he thought there would be a strike. This was his an- swer, and 1 thought it mighty reason- able: they'd - lives on the "Not a single T@eht wants a strike. We do want an increase, and railroad management knows we should have it. 1 think they'd like to pay it. At least, top management that came up through the ranks and knows what "our--jobs-are-like-would-sure-want-us "to get more if possible. We lost ground during two wars when other salaried people were hoosted. "Most of all, we want a quick set- tlement, and management ought to' want the same thing!" I showed him a-newspaper clipping which said railroad management had agreed to accept the arbitration board's findings as binding if the union would do the same. But the union, so far, had refused. He didn't want to make a comment on that, be- cause he didn't know what his union leader might have in mind. "But railroad agents don't want to tie up stock and coal shipments, or pile any more trouble on top of the wheat situation, We only want a fair, - prompt settlement. You can quote me on that!"
