In general most people must be relieved to see that the present government is con- - cerned with public expenditures and is prepared to investigate any unwise or ex- travagant spending of public moneys. Therefore, most people will approve the work of the Committee on public accounts which is now currently investigating the outrageous costs in connection with the Printing Bureau. Certainly what has come to light should serve as a check on the Conservatives when they come to let government contracts.' Thére have been twq unfortunate things in connection with the present enquiry. First, there has been too much Cross-exa- mination of civil servants and too little crogs-examination of the ministers direct- ly -responsiblé- for the_ project. There seems to be no reason why former Minister Fournier and Winters should not give a full accounting to the Committee. The essence of responsible government rests in the fact that the cabinet minister as- sumes complete and absolute responsibility ' "silent indeed. ~ at least most people find they cannot go back once they have started to earn their living. : The second unfortunate thing was the testimony of the King's Printer. It sounds a bit absurd that he should read iato the record a statement that King's Printers are always poor . . . especially, in View of the fact that his annual salary is $18,000, and it seems strange that this particular civil servant should publicly an- nounce during the investigation that it wasn't enough. Unfortunate too were his remarks concerning staff. Open to ques- tion is his conference with the architect two days before he was to appear before the committee. Tt is certainly no proof of wrong-doing and Mr. Cloutier may be perfectly sincere in what he says, how- ever, the question arises whether a civil servant should not show more good com- mon. sense than either Mr. Cloutier's words or actions seem to convey.' But whether or not he should be reprimanded or rebuked for" his performance seems to be a matter for the present Minister to de- cide «nd in all this he has remained very Perhaps he is waiting for the interim report that the Committee is - to the people for his portfolio. ~ preparing for parliament this week. iT MANVERS COUNCIL URGED TO BUY SCUGOG PICNIC SITE Bethany -- A delegation of rate- payers {rom the Yelverton area pre- + sented a"request to the Manvers Township Council last week asking that consideration be given to the purchasing of a suitable site on Lake Scugog for picnic grounds. For many years residents of Cart- wright and Manvers townships have visited Lake Scugog during the sum- mer months: at what was known as "Glennie's Beach" and in later years ¢ known as "Savinac's Beach". - The area visited consisted of a 20 foot right-of-way to the water, but over the years the picnickers have also been occupying a portion of private- ly-owned undeveloped lakeshore prop- erty. At present, there 1s the possibility 7Zthat the privately-owned land may be: p sold for private development, and the local residents may be faced with looking for a new location unless the ~ land 'that is now being used can he "purchased for public use, STOUFFVILLE ASSESSMENT $2.75 MILLION FOR 1959 York County's equalized assess- 'G9 ment for Stouffville is $2,805,051, it was reported to town council. The assessment is the basis for the count- y's 1959 assessment on the town.

Deputy-reeve Dean stated that a county committee of which he is a member, has requested the provincial government to set up a program of vaccination for the entire county, to deal with the rabies situation. BOWMANVILLE TO HAVE ONE OF ONTARIO"S NICEST GOLF COURSES Work has started on the grounds of the new Southview Golf and Coun- try Club at the northern edge of Bow- manville. The first sod was broken last Monday and a group-of bulldoz- ers and tractors have been busy all week clearing brush and landscaping. The opening of the new Southview Golf and Country Club has been tent- atively set for June, 1969. The arch- iteet is C. Robinson, Toronto, secre- tary manager of the Canadian Golf Association, and a member of the American Institute of Golf Archi- tects. There are only two members of this organization in Canada. "This will be one of the nicest golf courses in Ontario eventually," Mr, Rohinson said recently. He devel- oped the renown golf courses at Banff and has made others in the United States, Bermuda and South America. Pat Yeo is president of the South- view Golf and Country Club, Percy Cowling is vice-president; Ken Nicks is secretary-treasuier and Dr. Charles Austin and W. M. Rundell are direct- ors. : Pat, Yeo and Ken Nicks, the pro- motors, have spent considerable time planning an outstanding golf club A ham Twp. $14 56,080. for Bowmanville. For more than two District Doings years they have worked on the pro- ject and searched for suitable land for 'the site. Finally they found the ideal place and purchased the Har- vey Strong farm. The Southview Golf and Country Club property is comprised of 130 acres. It is bounded on the east by Manvers road and on the west by the 'Middle Road."The 4th Concession Is the North boundary. A small clubhouse will be ready for the opening next June. It will have the basic facilities, dressing rooms and a pro shop. This building will serve players and mem- bers while work proceeds on the lar- ge clubhouse which -wilt be complet- ely modern and equipped with the best facilities. There will be a lounge, a TV lounge, restaurant, dressing rooms, lockers and other features.

UNIONS' RESPONSIBILITY Loud wails "from American-born Seafarers International Union boss in Canada, Mr. Hal Banks, because of Government's decision to sell Canad- ian 'National Steamships' eight-vess- el merchant fleet to foreign interests, Twill. impress' nobody. Sale or vessels is direct result of excessive wage de- mands made on CNS by Mr. Banks' union demands which would have had to be met out of the pockets of Can- adian taxpayers, Sale of CNS vessels, as announced iby Transpoit Minister Hees, follows nearly year-long strike which has , seen Vessels idle. Government's decis- ion to get out of the shipping busin- ess rather than to impose added tax burden on Canadians merely to sub- sidize Seafarers' International Union is to be warmly commended. Union Leaders who press wage de- mands of such magnitude that con- tinued operation of industry which provides employment for union mem- bers-is made unprofitable should think more, and about Hal Banks and the hardships he has brought upon mem- bers of the union which he heads. , Even publicly-owned industries do not exist merely to provide a living for union members. Their purpose is to provide the public with services at reasonable cost. When union wage demands make this impossible, the proper cousse is to go out of business. This is what the Government has done in the case of CNS. Nobody ex- cept Mr. Banks and a few other like-. minded union leaders will quarrel with the wisdom of the Government's action. - : It is. Mr. Banks and no one else who is responsible for having scuttled the jobs of the men who used to work on CNS vessels, The Letter Review THE RIGHT TO STRIKE Notion that Labor's so-called right- to-strike is in some way part of a { peoples fundamental civil liberties "badly needs to he debunked. Truth is "that the so-called right-to-strike, far | from protecting the individual, very often involves a serious infringement of individual liberty. Certainly this is the case where its purpose or its "effect is to prevent an individual from continuing to work as he wishes. Uuder the closed shop and other "restictive features of modern union- ism, the average worker has little or 'no voice in 'the exercise of the so- called right-to strike. Rather, strike "action has become the ultimate ccon- omic weapon of the union boss and (woe betide the rank-and-file union "member who questions the action of union officials in invoking strike tion, It is high time Canadians woke up to the fact that the right to strike i bears no relation to fundamental civil liberties. The fallacy persists in peo- ple's minds only because-hungry un- ion officials have sought to perpet- uate it for their own ends. - The Letter Review | FL ------ THE SPREADING OF RUMOUR In referring to the spreading of rumour, it is probably wise counsel to keep silent for the most part, or to speak only what is necessary, and in a few words, when the conversat- jon gets around to rumour-prone matters. The young business man will prosper his promotion if he cultivates | the habit of saying nothing for long periods of time, He will remember that Tantalus was punished because, having been admitted to rub should- ers with the Greek gods at heaven's high feast, he failed to curb the in- temperance of his tongue. This goes for practically everybody. ! Small talk seems to be necessary --th our civilization. It may be made up of platitudes and a dash of witt- feism, but it should be flavoured with goodwill and - generosity." What we are exercised about is the intrusion into it of harmful gossip and rumour. Under the noise of this grown-up's rattle, much damage can be done by cunning people. An indiscréet phrase dropped. in small talk may be picked up and used to damage a budding career, --~ To an immature mind, silence may be a goad to indiscretion, but not to the thoughful youth pursuing his way toward eminence in his business or ptofession. A clerk, who became chairman of the great Marshall Field and Company, with headquarters in Chicago, smoked cigars so as to he sure he would Keep his mouth shut; another man, given to. talking often in conferences," propped against his waterglass a little card on which he had = printed: "Keep quit". James Rand Jr, head of Remington Rand, some time ago made the statement that he did not believe jt possible for & man to succeed in a big way who talked confidential company matters even to his wife, -- Let us not 'think for a minute that all the direful results belong to the vietim. The loose talker sabotages his own integrity. Knowing his own, un- reliability he finds it hard to trust others. He misses many opportunities for true fiiendships' the stuff of which a happy life is woven. Through unnumbered centuries of human experience there have been built-up certain codes of conduct and standards of action, Those who prac- tice these codes are believers in the Golden Rule and the square deal. Their conduct is consistent with their convictions. Canadian Statesman BELL TELEPHONE HAS A CASE The Bell Telephone request for a rate "increase is put in perspective by Gloge and Mail letter writer who points out that many of mayors and councillors now hollering "hold the line" have just finished giving them- 'selves an increase in pay, says The Fort Erie Letter-Review. Argument they used was that everything had gone up, and they could not carry on Clipped Comments cL raise was in 1052, since when tele- phone workers' wages have gone up by a third. The company now asks G% inerease in Ontario and Quebec. Eiconomically, the Bell Telephone Company has a sound case, but polit- ically this big firm is marked as fair game for small politicians. Bell share in the country's postwar expansion has been huge. Outlay in Toronto area nlone in the past five years was three times the cost of Yonge Street subway; projected con- struction for next five years equals the estimate for Bloor subway. This will mean thousands of new jobs, while company warns that refusal of requested rate rise will bring lay-off of 10,000 to 12,000 men in Bell and supplying firms. Notable example of Canadian en- terprize, the Bell claims its share- holders have accounted for one-fifth of all equity capital invested in Can- ada during postwar period, 98% of shareholders are Canadian, 98¢ of company purchases are made in Can- ada. The Bell: Telephone Company has a 'case, and is justifiable in seeking an increase in rates.

And the Church is no exception. Ann- iversary Sunday holds a special place in the life of the Church. Those who can sing, and could never be persuad- ed to take part in the choir, will do so at this time, Quite oftén the Chur- ch buildings receive a "face lifting" and everything is done to show, that the people care. And then on the appointed Sunday, the Church is filled to capacity. There never was an offer- Sunday, September 7th, in Anniversary. The Building being us- ed, was originally occupied by the Primitive Methodists. Let all the friends and supporters of Manchester be with us on that Sunday, when Rev.

We had a Sunday School of fifty-four. Tt is so encour- aging to have a number of our Indian children attending. We look for the time when all our families on the Island and Manchester and Prospect will become intensely interested in the Church.
