Instead of Canadian forces they proposed that we supply men and the money towards the building of a United Nations' Police Force. _ There is much good sense in this proposi- tion. . Only two kinds of war threaten our world; first an all-out atomic global war with Russia and the United States the key participants; the second, small local upris- Ings or aggressions such as those which have characterized the unrest in the Mid- dle East and in Africa. In the case of the first, a world wide war, Canada's role should be insignificant. We just don't have, nor can we get the kind of armnament to play at this kind of total destruction. And, 'furthermore it seems inconceivable that either Russia or the United States would embark on such a sui- cidal course. A recent'speech by a general chief of staff for the United States makes it quite clear that although that country is quite well prepared to wage such a war it Inflation | "in Southern Ontario these days--more The car owner is one of the prime movers or basic supporters of the great inflation- ary spiral.; A few minutes work applied . to the science of very simple arithmetic should serve to convince us that we car owners do much to keep the wheels of the industry spinning ever higher in the rari- fied atmosphere of increasing costs and de- creasing values. First start with depreciation. In the first year the car drops about one-third of its value and before it's 6 years old eighty per cent has disappeared. This means that a motorist must be prepared to write off about six hundred to seven hundred - dollars a year before he has driven a mile.

There remains then the local war or up- rising. And it is precisely this kind of war that Canada would not enter. of concern to the great powers--not to the individual members of the Commonwealth. Any military tactitian knows that Canada has no need for either nuclear weapons nor armed forces. We have them as an inheritance of the past. We do not know how to get rid of them without disturbing . our economic status quo or without embar- rassing our allies. We're stuck with our defence programme in the same way that a poor poker player is stuck. We can't afford to stay in the game and we don't know how to get out of it. ~~ Now if the United Church ministers will come up with some équally good idea about how to extricate ourselves from this costly and futile mess, they will really have earned our gratitude. Often it is easier to know what we ought to do than to know how to do it. costs, and other incidentals four to five hundred dollars and gas being what it is "takes another four hundred, and the year's expense for 10,000 miles works out to about $1500 a year driving at the rate of 15 cents a mile. Actually with newer models the cost is closer to 20 cents a mile. Is it any wonder we have trouble making both ends meet? But when we contem- plate getting back on our feet we do what the other fellow does; we go out and buy a new model and sometimes as we speed along the open road we can actually forget the awful arithmetic that keeps track of every miles in terms of dollars and our lack of sense; we can never forget to the in- flationary trend that turns those dollars into kites and shrinks them as they rise. This is. Clipped Comments BAD HUNTING PRACTICE | Fox hunts are a popular pastime than a pastime, indeed, with the elim- ination of foxes becoming almost a public duty since rabies became epi- demic in the region. We hope, how- ever, that the hunts are better con- ducted than that shown on a televis- ion news program of the other night, The annoncer told in pear-shaped tones how carefully the hunt was or- ganized, with great emphasis on safe- ty and prohibition of alcohol. Mean- while, on the screen hunters were climbing and jumping over fences holding their guns, which had been loaded and the breeches closed. An open breech is 'a common safety measure while hunting. But the prop- er handling of a loaded weapon in the country that requires climbing and fence-jumping is imperative, . Even the most rudimentary instruction in the safe and sensible handling of weapons should include the proper ways of getting over, around and through obstacles. : The hunts in this district have been organized by such experienced groups as fish and game. clubs and police, We are sure that they would never condone the foolishness displayed by the televisioned hunters. But the matter of safe handling of weapons cannot be over-emphasized--the re. sults of -mis handling .are too often fatal. 3 } --Lindsay-Watchman: Warder BUY CANADIAN CHICKEN PIE An address by a speaker-before a Hamilton audience and carried by the Steel Company of Canada. magazine this. month cites ten good reasons why one should buy Canadian' products. The illustration was based on the em ployment created by the "manufact- ure" of chicken pies but should per- tain to almost any product made or manufactured in Canada. It was headed, Why Buy a Canadian Chick- en Pie? and then gave the reasons. There is more than just meat, erust and gravy in a chicken ple; There 'are many forms of employment, in- cluding , Farmers who raise the grain to.feed Farmers who raise the chickens. i Transportation people who maqve dressed grain, eggs, live chickens, chickens, and chicken pies. ! "Manufacturers who make incubat-' ors and the material for the buildings and equipment in which the chickens are raised. Paper makers who make the paper for the packages. i Package makers who make the packages for the pie maker, Printers who prints the packages. Bakers who make the pies. : Salesman who sell the pies. Middlemen of many kinds, including brokers, bankers, insurance men etc. This illustrates quite clearly that no one business stands alone. It pro- gresses to the benefit of other trades and businesses. The slogan "Buy Canadian" could be taken to heart by all Canadians- who wish to see a con- tinuation of progress and prosperity in their: country,--Uxbridge Times- Tournal. - " » District Doings ELDEDLY WOMAN FALLS ON ICE, A heart rendering episode occured in the village of Janetville on Sat. evening when 82 year-old resident fell , HYDRO BUYS PICKERING LAND Two adjacent parcels of land, lo- cated on-the shore of Lake Ontario between Frenchman's Bay and Pick- ering Beach, were purchased by Ont- ario Hydro, The land will be reserved as the site of a future thermal generating sta- tion and its purchase is part of a long-range program of acquiring land close to a water supply for further thermal plants to be built as required.

There was a corner of Manitoba where eleven farms were owned by eleven men. Eight of those men were darn good farm operators; two of them got by fairly well; one was in deep trouble. Each year, the eleven men climbed on eleven tractors and tilled their eleven farms; all did the job well. All of them, at the same time, mulled over their farm problems and made deci- sions, Then one morning farmer Johnson was struck by the fact that here they all were--eight extremely fine brains, two good brains, one poor brain (but good tractor operator), bouncing a- round the fields. It was inconceiv- able that those brains were fully oc- cupied all the time. - So he thought, "Why don't we get together. Eight of us could raise quite a bit of money, two could raise a little, and the eleventh, if we super-. vised him, could operate an enterprise. He'd have a ten-man Board of Direc- tors meeting once a week, if need be, to direct him--and he: could use the fees we'd pay him. Then, when we're all sitting on our bottoms on these tractors, we could be using our brains to solve the problem of the other en- Scugog The Island is full of very busy girls, Ist Scugog Brownie pack met after school on Monday.

Patrol leadors were appointed and the three new patrols took their places. In corners, the guides chose their names for their each patrol and there is to be Can- aries, Bluebirds, and Red Rose. Sev- eral lively games were played and a test game on the Guide laws. At Pow- wow Captain told the stories of the flags and the composition of the Union Jack and the legends of each flag.

WHEN WAS THE FIRST CANADIAN YACHTING CLUR FORMED? - Sailing, once considered a rich man's terprise." | He called a meeting. They decided that with a certain amount of money they could put up a good piggery on a portion of the farm of the cleventh --they'd lease the land from him, pro- vide management for the piggery, and a small wage for any work he did. He saw it as a way out of his diffi- culty; and he was smart enough to know that he'd learn a great deal by association with men who were "na- tural" farmers with experience. They made plans, visited the bank supervisor in a nearby city. The bank looked over the proposition, okayed the financing. The piggery went In- to eperation, and made a fine profit. The farmers are making more use of that brain power they possess, and ventures, perhaps a turkey farm. Af- ter all, why not?

The first yacht racing association, the Lake Yacht Racing Association of Lake Ontario, was founded in 1884, its member clubs did much to increase interest in sailing. The St. Law- rence Valley Yacht Racing Association sponsors winter training courses for its junior clubs. . As a result, the North American Junior Sailing Cham- pionship was won for Canada for the first time in 1954 by Harry Jemmett and his crew of the Kingston Yacht Club. Isn't it remarkable, how the days and weeks go by! We look ahead and plan and wonder, and then it is here and gone, and become history. But how prosaic and dull life would be if we did not look to the future! Much of the pleasure of life comes. from formulating good plans for tHe pre- sent and the future.

How quickly this life here can come to an end. And yet so many are living just for the things that perish, and putting all their treasurers in earthly banks; and are not growing For so many, the Church only exists to baptize, marry, and bury. How frugal we are in giving our time and talents to God's Kingdom, and yet that is the only investment that really pays dividends! We shall miss Mrs. Rea- der in the Church and the community.

Our Total Receipts, including balances hrought forward at the beginning of the vem amounted to $12,488.44. Of this =a- mount $2,335.99 was raised by the Ladies of our W.A. All financial oh- ligations were met and the sum: of' $751.00 given for Missions. On our Church buildings and fixtures was spent $032.85 and on the Parsonage! $525.68. Our total disbursements a-, mounted to $8,939.84 leaving Cash Balances in the various Organizations of $3,648.60. It was duly passed that we give One Thousand Dollars this year for Missions, and that an effort be made to take our share of the! Church Extension Programme. The Minister's Salary and Travelling was increased $150.00. Our Towns and cities are expanding, and new lots for Churches have to be purchased, and new buildings erected.
