Threatens fo + Remake Economic System bb de Union members who want no truck or trade with socialism, and they are yr gion, will certainly look askance "Canadian Labor Congress Research rector Eugene Forsey's suggestion that organized labor is prepared to remake the economic system if it thinks this necessary for the welfare of its members. Addressing the Rotary Club of Montreal recently, Dr. For-. sey 'declared: " want results for our members. If our nomic system of mainly private ownership, with a large dash of public owner- ship, and a high degree of public planning and control, will give us the results we want, well and gogd. If it won't, then we shall press 4 whatever changes, large or small, are needed to give us these results." Coming from a soélalist like Dr. Forsey, such talk of economic revo- lution in Canada is not surprising. What is surprising is that the re- earch director of the Canadian Labor ngress, which is supposed to be free of political affiliation with the CCF party, should voice such views, As Dr. Forsey sees it, apparently, the Canadian economic system is on trial before the tribunal of Big Labor. It that system fails to serve the inter- ests of Big Labor -- Dr. Forsey says nothing about the wider intergst of the Canpdian public -- then it is Big Labor's task to substitute another 'system in its place. On the basis of his past utterances and past assoc- iations, it is not difficult to know " that the system which the CLC re- - search director would advocate is sociallam, is Canadian Statesman Motorist's, Beware! Motorists who do not have liability insurance would be wise to act before they go to purchase 1958 car plates. To get these plates, motorists must present their liabiliiy insurance card, obtainable from your insurance agent. If you do not have such a card you will be required to pay five dollars for each permit -and set of plates. This $5.00 will not protect the unin- sured owner against loss for damages by the motor vehicle owned and driv- en by him. The money will be credit- ed to the Unsatisfied Judgment Fund to pay claims for damages arising out of accidents involving uninsured motor vehicles. An accident, when no public liability is carried, can mean financial ruin for life. It would be well for motorists to get coverage now and avoid having to pay the five dollar levy. A Few. "Don'is" For Hunters Hundreds of experienced and nov- ice hunters will leave on the weck- end for the bush in search of deer. The annual season opens Monday, November 4th and lasts for two weeks. An official at the department of Lands and Forests in Lindsay when contacted by a reporter issu following few but important don'ts. Don't hunt without a license; don't have a loaded gun in a car of in a boat; don't hunt on Sunday; don't leave any live coals in a camp fire; don't wear any clothing that might be mistaken for game; never point a gun at a person and there will be no fatalities.

Trained scientists from Europe are helping to fill the gap today, and will probably play a great- er part in our research programs of the near future, the Letter says. If universities are to produce enough scientists, it will be neces- ary to expand our facilities and in- crease their teaching staffs. But the Letter comments tha higher salarles in industry make it.increasingly diff- icult for universities to persuade their more brilliant science students to continue into post-graduate studies and join university staffs. Scientists' incomes have doubled since 1933 -- but wage earners now get 314 times their pay a quarter of a century ago. Both pure.and applied research are important factors today in industry and in government, the Letter says. Occupying a central position in re- search work generally is the Nat- ional Research Council, which con- ducts extensive research work on its own account, and assists colleges and other research bodies with grants-in- aid and with technical assistance. Through its system of scholarships, on which $3,000,000 a year is spent, it aids in the training of promising young scientists while they are be- ginning their careers in the research field. NRC also carries out 2pudile research for industry. Many tangible benefits have "al- ready accrued to the Canadign public as a result of research work, the Letter continues, In the fields of agriculture, fisheries, and forestry great advances have been made. Higher productivity of soil, improved quality, and more economical utiliz- ation of forest products are among the achievements of research. In the years to come, the demands of industry and government both for peaceful and military projects will put a strain on our human resources in the scientific field, the Letter says, but the results of research work are likely to be an improvement in pro- duction of all types.

However, some will not have to face this dilemma, as they have been giving the problem their selfless de- votion all year. They are the members of the ser- vice clubs. =~ Volunteer groups with different names, different charters and different personalities; but all dedicated to making someone's life just a little bit happier or a little bit more comfortable, : Members of these clubs are some- times disdainfully referred to as "joiners." Joiners they may be, but their unselfish efforts should tinge the soubriquet with envy and admir- ation, never disdain. The projects of the service clubs include assistance for crippled child- ren, low-rental living quarters for the aged, young and under-privileged, and doz- ens of other worthwhile endeavours. summer camps for the: its own locality and then a construct- ive, concerted effort is made to meet them®™ To be shire, most of the projects organized and developed are directly financed by the publie, but the inspir-| ation and motivation are supplied by the service clubs. The personal, human touch given to their endeavours brings them a warmth which is bound to be lacking in any government.sponsored aid program. + It is just one more fact in our way of life which allows us, of our own free will, to share our good fortune with others. Maybe too few of us exercise this privilege and responsi- bility. Service club members do. ----- Paid Advertisement -- 100,000 Cottage Bound Cars An average of 100,000 cottage bound cars pass through the environs of Port Perry every week-end during eight months of the yé&r.

CHASE OF HYDRO Property owners in the Villa, o! Pickering will be asked to 2 on the question of the villége purchasing the present hydro system here at the annual municipal election on Decem- her 7th, The village council have worked for over 2 years to get a report on what that cost would be and whether it would be of benefit to the village to own their own system. The Ontario Hydro Power Comm- ission have completed their survey and this week Messrs. Lusk and Tay- lor presented their report to Village council. . It would appear from that report that it would be very beneficial to 'own the system. Purchasing it woula mean, taking over the whole system, poles, wires, transformers, nieters, everything that is operating in the village at present. If we decide to buy, the system would be administered by a commit- tee of council for the first year. The following year a public utilities sys- tem would be set up gnd its body elected to office. hes flni likely look after water as well as hydro. The cost of purchasing the system? The estimated cost is $80,000 to be paid by debentures over a 20 year period. { -- ° 71235C Phone 576 py gv hy | © This is no ordinary oar. drive automatically. Meteor never is!
