Nothing could be more harmful to Canadian-U.S. rela- tions than involvement of this coun- try in any Latin American quarrels with Uncle Sam. At game time, Gov- ernment at Ottawa should ba on the alert so far as talk of Castro regime ubout vastly expanding its diplomatic staff in Ottawa is concerned. It has long been Soviet practice to cloak with = diplomatic immunity countless agents who, although noth- fng more - than sdpies, enjoy official statug as members of Soviet embassy staffs. Canadians have no desire to gee this sort of thing happen in the case of the, Cuban diplomatic mission at Ottawa -- 'especially in view of the close ties between the Castro re- gime and the Kremlin. Wisdom of Canadian Government in refusing to follow U.S. action in imposing embargoes on exports to Cuba is revealed in recent editorial in the Washington Post, which says, "How much the Administration's new economic sanctions against Cuba are a response to actions of the Castro regime, and how much they are a res- ponse to criticisms by Senator Ken- nedy, is difficult to judge . .. Un- doubtedly the tyade restrictions will cause - some - inconvenience for .tha Castro Government--along with the people of Cuba, unhappily. But , . . the effect could be merely. to encour.

It is heartening to know that the Prime Minister and his cabinet collea- gues recognize the necessity that every sector of the national economy. --public' as well as private--should achieve maximum productive efficien- cy in order to keep national output competitive with the output of other countries in both domestic and world markets. Just how much will be achieved by the proposed 21-man council, however, remains to be seen, Including, as it is suggested, representatives of such diverse groups as business, labor, farmers, the universities etc, the council could quite easily end in a deadlock. On the question of productivity it- gelf, it should be remembered that competition itself is the stern task- master of efficiency. Nor should it be forgotten that certain industries, notably rail transport, "while highly efficient, "are hampered: -in--meeting.. competition by such things as the wage spiral, outdated regulations such as the statutory rates on export grain movements, and by equally out- dated make-work rules insisted on by union officials in labor contracts. Taxation, too, can and does consti- tute a grave deterrent to maximizing prodactive efficiency. The so-c ed "progressive" income tax, personal as well as corporate, detracts from incen- tive and blunts productivity goals., It is to be hoped that the proposed national productivity council will serve a useful purpose. If it is to do 80, however, its composition should not be on a representative basis: Like- wise, the government itelf, if the council .proves to be capable and in- dependent," 'should assume responsibil- ity for seeing that that body's ding- noses and recommendations are ac- corded the support necessary. Other- | i wise, it is not improbable that the' council will suffer the same fate as that of its opposite number in the | U.K.--a body that offers sound ad-! vice, but which is rarely heeded even by the Government.

Children should be taught to be grateful and it will help them over a few rough spots, On Sunday we had three wonderful congregations. The cars were lined up at Manchester and the Island just as they do on Anniversary Services, With just a little planning, there are s0 many more could attend Church. The Island was well represented, and the Church was full. Let us learn to love worship and plan to be in Church on Sunday. For it doesn't happen by chance. Things are just what we make them. Why not come and find true relaxation in the presence of God? There is nothing that will tire us so much as Sin. Christ frees us from the guilt of Sin. The Minister spoke on the theme "The danger of Yes! there are dangers and sacrifices involved; but the joys and benefits far outweigh them. ts n A Anglican Notes By Mary Becker The month of November will sce some intevesting activities in our parish, and, we hope, the completion of our parish hall extension. Last Tuesday, Nov. 1st, the ladies jot the Afternoon Guild held a meet. {ing at the home of Mrs. Hayes, which , was a shower for the bazaar. A ve. port will be included next week. There will be a meeting of the Ev- ening Guild at the home of Mrs. Ren- It is hoped that all members will plan to attend, as we have only a short time to com- plete bazaar plans. kt The study group, "Faith for Today" will start on Nov. 16th, Wednesday, at 8 p.m. in the Rectory (or the church hall if completed). This is open to all men and women in the parish, and will be conducted by Rev. Mr, of Aurora. Those who have previous- ly found the Deanery School of Re- ligion of interest should enjoy the op- portunity to attend such a discussion group in our own parish. A one-day conferente for teenagers is being planned. It is hoped to have Father Phillip Jefferson here for the 27th, but plans are only tentative yet as far as the date. is concerned. The members of the Girls' Auxil- inry will be attending the Archden- conry G.A. services at All Saints' Church, Whitby, this Sunday. The girls are asked to be there, with lun- ches, by 4.30 p.m. for a social hour. The service will be at 7.30. Our G.A. welcomed five new niembers recently. | The Church school continues to _operate in the Scout Hall for évery- one from 2 years old to teenagers. We hope to be into the new building before November ends. The teachers are reminded to 'keep the evening of Nov. 10th open for a group meeting. Plans for the Christmas party will lie one of the main items. Our annual Christmas bazaar will be held on Saturday, November 26th in our new building. All the ladies are working very hard to produce in- teresting. and novel items for this event. All donations will be very welcome. The W. A. will meet next Tuesday, November 8th, at the home of Murs. Fuller. We wonder why the time and place of our Church School is not included jin our church's regular advertisement in the paper, especially when we are { now meeting - away from our own church, For the benefit of any who (are uncertain, the place is the Scout: Hall and the time 10.156 am. for all Tages (two to teens). Our attendance has held up fairly well, despited dif- We Speers |. The following children were pre- sented for Holy Baptism on Sunday: At' Manchester -- Hilda Janette and Margaret Grace Helen daughters of Muy, and Mrs. John Hofstee; and Law- rence Llewelyn, infant son, of Mr, and Mrs. Lawrence Midgley; and at Scugog Church-----John William, infant son of Mr. and Mrs, William Bell; Sandra Gail, infant daughter of Mu. and Mrs. Auton Kreig; and Brian Ro- bert, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Ad- vian Haines. We receive these child- ven into the congregation of Christ's flock, that as members of the family and household of God they may be nurtured and grow strong, and con- tinue Christ's faithful servants unto their life's end. On Thursday evening will be the Fourth Sector Training Dinner Meet- ing in Oshawa, and we are planning to have about fifteen go down. This Friday evening we will have our Con- gregational Dinner at the Church Building on dinner, and "all adults of the Island gements. are being made to have the older teenage girls help, by baby sitting. The Supper will commence at 7.00 p.m. The Sector Plan will be explained in full, Strips' and Rev. EE. W. Fuller of Port Perry will tell us some of the things Sector was able to accomplish for the ' Church. Various proposals will be presented for the congregation's con- sideration, and we ave hoping that this will be the most profitable even- ing that the Church has ever spent. we Sr : hope all parents will continue to en- courage their children to come. When we are able to move into the new quarters, announcement will be made as to when and where each class will 'meet. Attendance at Church has not been good this autumn, perhaps partly due ftothe separation of the church school, which means some parents 'of small ones are not free to attend church. Also the exceptionally fine weather may be luring some of our parishion- ers outdoors, We suspect, though, that the coming of bad weather will prompt others to use that as an ex- cuse for non-attendance! Let us put a little more effort forth, in support of our parish through our presence, our offerings and our work in the Sunday School and church groups. We are sorry to learn that Murs. Dagenais is once again a patient ut St. Michael's hospital in Toronto. We hope that her sojourn there this time will be short and the treatment successful.
