They know perfectly well that they dare not use these suicidal in- "struments of complete and total destruc- "tion; but they go on insisting that they be stock-piled--and what is even crazier they go on testing them, _ Throughout history generals have exhib- ited strange forms of probias and madness from the time of Genghis Khan right down to the present. But surely the extreme form of the malady must have ap the present American generals for now they are beginning to talk of striking the Rus- sians first. Senator Morris, leader of the Senate Committee, on Defence, has publicly de- clared that the present policy of the de- fence heads is beyond the realm of reason. Already the testing of these dirty nuclear weapons has deposited. along the northern parts of the United States concentrations of strontium 90 far beyond the danger level. And what has happened in North- ern United States is happening, too, in Southern Canada, were eighty percent of our population lives. - It is time we freed ourselves of the sui- cidal burden our generals have imposed on our government. It is nonsense for the Prime Minister to say-that we must stock- pile American nuclear missiles, hecatise we agreed to become part of Nato. Other NATO countries have refused to allow the United States to use their land for such devilish and inhuman purposes. To Consider John Kenneth Galbraaith has written one of the most challenging books of the past ten years. It is called, The Affluent Sociéty. It is a treatise which deals with the myths of the conventional wisdom which guide our economic life. He includes this exciting book with some observations which give us pause to con- sider, even though it is possible that many will reject his pointed remarks. In talking about the resouces that best suit our survival he says: I have little faith in the safety or secur- ity which derives from a never-ending arms race--from a competition to elabo- 'Because our generals think in terms of massive retaliation and global war is no redson for us to meekly accept their mad dictums. Their excuse is that our policy is dictated by Russia; a very good reason, indeed, why we should not follow it! The people of the world want to see the end of this nuclear foolishness and they want to see it right away. It is high time to take our destiny out of the hands of our military leaders and send -them packing. They boast about what is necessary for survival and deliberately pursue tactics which move ever closer to a point where survival is impossible. It's time we brought them to their senses. War is too serious a business to be left to the profes- sionals. They suffer from a curious men- ~ tal myopia which now threatens the lives of all. g Canada must take a firm stand against the testing and use of nuclear- weapons. It is the only foreign policy that we can adopt. world can respect. Russia and China aren't going to war with us. They believe they can inherit our society because of our inability to cope with its problems and faults. Our only de- fense against this seems to be a Samsonian one--pull the whole thing down in ruins first. And surely the obsession the Ameri- can generals show for their atomic toys will do just that. There must be an end to this nuclear madness--with or without the help of our generals let's find it. world, or become overnight as tractable as church mice, there would remain vast mil- lions of hungry discontented people in the world. Without the promise of relief from that hunger and privation, disorder would still be inevitable . . . . . . . . the basic demand in America will be on its resources of ability, intelligence, and education. . He sums it all up by stating categorically that our final effectiveness will be not in terms of our material investment but rather in terms of our investment in men.

SLICK OPERATOR TAKES MERCHANT Farcwell's Jewellers, of Cannington, lost three Blue Bird diamond rings, a wedding ring and an Elgin watch to a slick operator. A middle aged man entered the store and asked Mr. Fare- well 'if his wife had been in the store as she wanted to get a gift' The would be purchaser talked very free- ly while looking over the stock and go- ing to the door to see if he could see his 'wife'. Eventually the man order. ed two cups and saucers and asked that Mr. Farewell gift wrap them. After the parcels were wrapped, the man walked out the door and remark- ed he saw his 'wife' and said he would bring her into the store and they would want something else, leaving his par- cels not paid for. When he left Mr. Warewell noticed the rings and watch were gone. Needless to say the man and his 'wife' did not return for their gift wriipped parcels. WEST WHITBY TOWNSHIP TO BUY WATER FROM WHITBY The West Whithy Twp. Ratepay- ers Association has approved in prin- ciple the purchase of water from the Town of Whitby and the piping of it to the Almonds area near Whitby- Pickering Town Line. At a meeting of the Association on Monday night of this week the mem- bers decided in favour of the Whitby plan rather than a proposal to drill for water west of the Town and pump it to Almonds residental area. In a statement released by officials of the organization it is stated that: "In view of the report of the en- gineer of the Ontario Water Resources Commission, to the effect that the supply of water located in this area was not promising, and the exper- iences the residences have had with the existing wells, it was decided un- animously to endorse scheme "A" in principle." It was reported that the installation for piping of water from the Town of OLKS../ SPEND CAUTIOUSLY! "BUY OUR PRODUCTS!"

District Doings Whitby limits would cost approximate- ly $67,000 while the drilling of a well, pump facilities and piping would cost $68,300. The limited fire protection afforded by the well service was also deciding factor. It was felt that the reduction in fire insurance rates would go a considerable way to off-setting the cost of the water supply. If the proposal matures it is under- stood that the Whitby PUC will sell the water to the Township through a meter at the edge of Town, the Town- ship Council will be responsible for the collection from its ratepayers. It was indicated that the rates quoted for the water from the Town of Whitby was 94¢ for the first one thousand gallons and 64¢ for each succeeding thousand gallons, 0.W.R.C. SUGGEST LAGOON METHOD FOR UXBRIDGE SEWAGE Town council met with representa- tives of the Ontario Water Resources Commission and McCune Engineering last Monday evening to discuss pro- posed additions and improvements at the sewage plant. Present from the OWRC were the chairman, Dr. Berry and Mr. Owers. Mr. Cune and Mr. Muirhead were present from McCune's. The group went over the proposed modified plan and on request of the OWRC an additional 5 per cent was added to the original estimates. It was also suggested that the town look into another method treatment, that of lagooning. This is used ex- tensively in Western Canada and is found to most satisractory. Only odor, if ever, may occur for a few days in early spring but in many cases there is none at all. The cost of land, installation of force main, ete. would not be in excess of estimated expendi- ture for plant enlargements and may be less. The lagoon would be located at a specified distance from any habi- tation, ORDER BAR-B-Q CHICKEN AT TAYLOR'S, ONLY $1.99 DOG FEES RAISED IN PICKERING TOWNSHIP The committee on dog control came up with a few changes in fees, which have been accepted by Pickering Township council, The reasons given for the increases is to try and kee running dogs under control. - © The first change was with regard to pound fees.

DAIRY FPARMERS OF CANADA 409 Huron Street, Toronto JOB MAKERS CANADIAN manufacturing in each month of 1958 provided employment for an average of 1,146,156 Canadian men and women.
