. _ : One of the pet stories of our Socialists has ,i‘f gwm been the Tennessee Valley Authority. Fet to operate some abandoned power plants Ei'md during the first Great War, TVA has (Â¥%, e a superâ€"government in its area. The g’zg‘ shared in all the war boom of the second / World War, indeed far more than any other DRIVE WITH CARE â€" Holiday season has shown the need to exâ€" ercise greater care and caution in driving. The toll of accidents has cost not only life and property damages, but untold sorrow and injury that have been most painful. The toll on this continent during the Christmas week has run into the thousands. An analysis shows that many of the accidents were avoidâ€" ed by the careful watchfuiness of the police in and around the city of Toronto. Arrests, ponding of cars and removing this menace from the road did prevent more accidents. Why should this be necessary to have a police force to remove those who overâ€"indulge, yet the government legalizes the sale of liquor and man is not able to control his appetite. Thus the public are called upon to pay in ‘taxes for a police force, ror fiospitals, for medical care because these men will not obey the law. In the city of Toronto at the time of writing there have been 65 fatalities, 65 lives snuffed out because of some individuals who would not obey the law. This toll has been eut to date by 10 from last year, but there has been a big campaign put on and the public ‘have been warned and directed to prevent accidents, and still the toll goes on. 1948 calls for a greater care on the part of every inâ€" dividual who is driving a motor car to reâ€" member that liquor and gasoline do not mix, ‘also it must be remembered that overâ€"fatigue, mental distraction, and worry all have a tendâ€" ency to lower the efficiency of drivers. Plan to drive for the whole year without liquor ~stimulus. When tired and fatigued, filled with worry, stop driving. When driving in 1948 see that your efficiency, physically and â€"mentally is of the very highest, thus you will avoid accidents and keep 1948 clear as far as . you are concerned. THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 1948 WHAT A FAKE IS THE TVA * Canadian Socialists are fond of running around the world and picking up stories about how much better they do things under Soâ€" cialism in other countries. They used to tell us of Russia, until they discovered that it was a mistake for them to praise Communism. Communism is just the same thing as Socialâ€" ism, but it is not popular in Canada, thereâ€" fore there are not more stories of the beauties of Russia. ~> Socialists tell us that this has been a wise ent of government money, and TVA ¢f rown that this is a perfect way in which ie government can,‘ with no loss to anyone, in and make any part of the country There used to be stories of how the Swedish Government had financed a housing program, but Sweden has just announced that it canâ€" not go on with this plan any longer. ~ There used to be stories about the great gocial security system in Britain, but the British Government is now facing a crisis because of its social services and the subsidies to keep the cost of living down. ~ Canadians have been told about New Zeaâ€" land, but New Zealand is having a harder time retaining British immigrants than is MV LNE ALi: u:ul-‘uoflle’nli‘h-n-dmoum advertisements 1eul with order), furm stock implements, first $5; extra Insertion, §3; farm stock sale, first insertion, $3.50; extra insertion, se io n o o e t o d o mflufl insertionsâ€"extra space, at the same wate)."

GUIDE JEAN PERKS News Editor, News Associs t ion Qhate 1948 OPPORTUNITIES . _ â€" With this issue we v‘l‘fl the mw‘r What does it present orâ€" offer :m‘? are your plans and ambitions for year? Do {:: feel th# there is W .vd:t- you. ese are pe q On8, Y they. are im‘g:mnt questions ;n:.i.t would be well to sit wnaflunlyu them for a few minutes. Look at the world teday and what do you findâ€"chaos on every hand, pessimism ine.rtain&ururs.:filthyonthcputot self satisfied individuals and a lack generally of spiritual vision. In order to eliminate these detrimental forces it is necessary that each individual sits down and looks the facts straight in the face, and then makes an effort . to study the problems with a view to co-‘ operating in their solutions. 1948 presents great opportunities for coâ€"operating and caâ€". ordinating the true ideals of brotherhood in the home, community, nation and universe. One of the first things that is necessary is a recognition of a God supreme, who will strengthen each individual in the developâ€" ment of the spiritual life. If the spiritual is developed as exemplified by our Lord Jesus Christ, when he showed man that it is posâ€" sible for man to overcome the hatred, malice, unethical business relations and to live in unity and fellowship with his fellow men. Having had this example, it enables all to follow in his footsteps. When this is done there will be a new idealism. As the small cake of yeast leavening the hole, so the inâ€" culcation of the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ in every home, community, nation and the universe will bring about a true brotherâ€" hood. This is the great opportunity for 1948. This is the foundation from which can radiate a new vision, a new power that will stimulate a new life. This is the foundation that is solid like the rock illustrated by our Lord Jesus Christ in this teaching. It will stand the winds, the tempests and the rains, it will bring peace and solidity to the universe. As you see the whole trend of this thought is that that every individual realize his opporâ€" tunities for 1948â€"to first plan to become an active member of his or her respective church and to so arrange his or her life that all will live in accord to the Beatitudes and teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. Remember your ‘ duty towards your God and your neighbor. ONTARIO TRAFFIC TRAGEDY A moment of inattention let death stride ruthlessly through a Tillsonburg district family Thursday morning, December 1l1th, when a levelâ€"crossing crash wiped out five members of a family of seven. * All who survive of a once happy and prosâ€" perous farm home of 42â€"yearâ€"old Elmo Howey are 11â€"yearâ€"old Kenneth, in London hospital suffering from Bright‘s disease, and Tâ€"yearâ€"old Mary Lou, who was tossed clear of the cab and slightly injured when her father‘s stalled truck was bashed by the locoâ€" motive. The other five of the family were snuffed out or died as the result of the accident: Inâ€" stantly killed were the father, 15â€"yearâ€"old James, William (13) and George (9). The 40â€"yearâ€"old wife and mother of five who learned of the tragedy by coincidence shortly ;fi;erz; it had happened died later of a broken eart. Making a sympathetic comment on this most tragic levelâ€"crossing accident of recent months, W. C. Robertson, general manager of the Ontario Motor League, said, "Constant attention to the job of driving is the only sure way of safety and this terrible toll illusâ€" trates the need for greater respect for all level crossings. Safety engineers agree," Mr. Robertson declared, "that inattention is the most prolific cause of accidents on our streets and highways." "This father was probably a very careful driver, but fatigue and worry over the sickâ€" ness in the family may quite possibly have detracted his attention as he approached the crossing and stalled his truck on the tracks." An inquest has been ordered into the Howey tragedy and undoubtedly the overâ€" crowding in the cab of the truck will be conâ€" sidered by the coroner. THE LITTLE GHOSTS Little ghosts still haunt the sugar bow! in the pantry and the butter plate in the ice box. Lingering shades of days past sit perched on the shelves to waylay the housewife as she comes near with her mixing bowl. "Is that sugary raisin pie really necessary?" they shrill at her, "Should you make that cake with the thick, sticky icing?" When they fail to banshee the housewife they mournfully follow the pie and cake to the dinner table. They try to startle diners by whispering: "If you eat that cake will you have enough sugar for your tea ?" It‘s a strange thing that the inhibitions that grew up in years of rationing linger after rationing has gone. But they are being rapidly exorcized. _ The fragrance of more and more "really" pies and cakes and pudâ€" dings with sweet sauces greets the family wage earnérs as they come into the house after a brisk walk from work. The rich steam from these tasty confections mingles with and dissolves the remaining wraiths. The weekâ€"endâ€"long aura of blending raisins, currants and candied peel in brown warmth that is the Christmas cake will soon lay them low forever. EDITORIAL SHORTS The loudest voices do not always represent the largest number. The only real reactionary is the man who refuses to change. More people are gmimed by broken homes tkan by all our accifients and wars. One trouble with materialism is that it doesn‘t produce the materials. And good riddance Mr. Sam Wilson, Editor, Times and Guide, Weston, Ont. Dear Mr. Wilson: Humber Memorial Hospital would like to take this opportunity of thanking you for your personal support, as well %flut of ‘The Times and Guide in the recent camâ€" paign for funds. The time and space contributed by your newsg:per to the fiood cause of Humber Memorial Hosâ€" Kiul was of %mt assistance. It elped keep the public well inâ€" formed of our progress, and aroused a keen interest in the surâ€" nl)\u}ding communities in the hosâ€" pital. You will be interested to know that while we haye extended the closing date of our campaign for a few weeksâ€"in order to include corporation and industry donations which would not be ap‘)‘roved before finr-end meetingsâ€"that not only s our objective of $100,000 been reached, but present indications are that our closing figures will be in the neighbourhood of $150.000. Present figures are about $130,000. Again thanking you, and wishing you the Compliments of the P/L I agree that the British electorâ€" ate is politically mature; interest in the affairs of government varies in proportion to the hardships inâ€" flicted upon the voter. ho The Editor, Times and Guide, Sir: clusions drawn in iour recent editorial, "Weighed in the Balance." "Gallop" tgf)e golls are notoriâ€" ously unreliable, the survey quoted was taken soon after the bacon and petroleum cuts were announced; it is not established that greater issues would furnish the same result. The comparison with the General Election of 1945, shows the fallacy of guesses based on the g’;oportion voting for each party. e hypothetical Conservative inâ€" creased of 4% over the Socialist 40% in 1945, would hardly be sufâ€" ficient to reverse the huge Labour majority in the House of Commons. The sweeping results of the November municipal elections do not indicate a change of heartâ€" they merely show that some Conâ€" servatives have at last realized their responsibilities. In what was my own conâ€" stituency in England, 35% voted in 1946, 65% voted in 1947, but the Socialist vote actually increased. The truth of this is sustained by the unbroken string of bye elecâ€" tions retained biy the Socialists since 1945; one of the more recent at â€"Gravesend, followed closely upon their mq‘nic_ip‘ql reverses. Latters to the Wiitor can be I am not a Socialist, I am just a dieâ€"hard Tory who respects facts more than wishful thinking. Yours truly, R. W. BECKER, 180 Main St. N.
