It would look as if the new additions in the Civic Government would be helpful in solving the great problems that are presented. In order that interest is sustained throughout ‘the year, it would be well for the individual elector to watch the actions and purposes of theirâ€"various representatives. This will enable them to keep in close touch with the mceedinxs of the Board of Education and e council in the respective municipalities. These men and women have been entrusted with huge sums of money, they are in a position of power to formulate policies and plans for their respective municipalities. In order that they may be kept on their toes the electors should become conversant with every act. Protect your own interests, accept the responsibility as stewards for the coming Eemtions, build your municipality for the enefit of the people, talk with, consult and visit your representatives. In this way more effective administration can be secured. SAFEGUARDING SAVINGS ‘ELECTION RETURNS the voters to a rea]izatiog of their responâ€" sgibility has been effective.

However, the improvement made this year will no doubt be a stepping stone for a greater interest in the future. In the city of Toronto the direct issue against Communism was very effective. New candidates in York township were elected and others made a most credible showing.

We wish our readers not only a happy New Year, but a ugeful one. A year in which Canadian unity may be strengthened, and in which Canada‘s part in the world‘s affairs may be worthy of the great blessings beâ€" stowed upon her. As we stood at the threshold of the New Year, a gift of 366 days was spread before us,â€"each day offering unlimited opporâ€" tunities: . â€"Opportunities to love, to trust and to praise; to give, to help and to serve; to learn from the past and to delve into the future, whileAyet living in the present. â€"Opportunities to improve our minds, our health, our position ; to do better work, cultiâ€" vate higher ideals, and get more out of life. THE GIFT OF THE YEAR With our advantages we carry increased responsibilities. We cannot lock ourselves within our wide boundaries and ignore the plight of the rest of the world. We must accept our share of our brother‘s burden. Yet it would be a mistake to give ourselves up to gloom and despair. There is room for hope. Canadians especially have every reason to start the New Year with a spirit of hope and thanksgiving. We have emerged from difficulties with renewed strength and a greater stature among the nations of the world. DBespite the rising cost of living, our people are prosperous and fortunate compared to the miserable millions still suffering from the effects of war. Many ills have been manifest in 1947, not the least of which are fear and distrust. Man‘s hatred for other men has festered into new sores, new ugliness and evil. Little progress has been made towards settlement of postâ€"war problems; the future is still unâ€" certain. The fact that the penalties of war do not end with war has been impressed upon the world. Conflict left behind a heavy burden of debt, a burden of smashed homes and starving peoples, dislocated commerce and populace. During the year bitterness and renewed international rivalries have darkâ€" ened the sky; new flareâ€"up$ have disrupted hopes for a brave new world. ____ _ ROOM FOR HOPE The world has moved on into a New Year, leaving behind an old one which is memorable chiefly for its many disappointments. | Comparisons are odious, and lnfono who thinks of the enormous changes of the last forty years or so knows that comparisons between then and now are almost useless, or only approximate at best, whether you‘re delving into wng. morals, tnns&ortanon or whatâ€"haveâ€"you.

Peorle, however, persist in disliking advice unless they are giving it, which is probably why the young scowl at it, and eventually wind up saying, "When I was your age .. ." "WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE* Many young people consider that ‘s most pe irrelevancy is veiled m opens up vlg- "When I was your age . . .‘ and seems as if it will never stop. The scowling expression on the listenér‘s face usually reflects the (Hnmon that what happened then is of no significance now, and not even interesting. The expansive look of the one who ladles out the advice, says The Printed Word, shows clearly what he thinks of the good old days and particuâ€" larly of his stoutâ€"hearted and altogether commendable part in it all. _ â€" Because of the shortage of housâ€" ing for families onlÂ¥ single perâ€" sons or men coming in advance of their families are accepted, When the married men have secured emâ€" ployment and a place to live, arâ€" rangements are made for their families to follow by sea.

They must pass a medical and character examination by Canadian immigration officials. They must have sufficient funds to pay for their air fare which is 67 pounds (about $265), and have sufficient means to maintain themâ€" selves in Canada until employment is secured. Many of them arrive in Ontario with considerable capital. They come from all walks‘ of life and include men and women with a wide range of employment qualifiâ€" cltinns. includin[zhllhmnjprl. farmâ€" cided to provide transportation by aircraft and to set up a special office in London to deal with all airâ€"emigration _ enquiries. _ This organization was streamâ€"lined to give immediate assistance on the various . details _ connected with immigration â€" including Canadian Customs, Canadian Immigration, Medical Examinations, passports, shipment of baggage by sea, purâ€" chase of air transportation, and the transfer of funds from Britain to Canada. The coâ€"operatoin of the Federal _ Authorities, _ transportâ€" ation companies and bank repreâ€" sentatives was obtained and a comâ€" plete unit formed which would give the fullest service to prospective immigrants.

One of the newest plans that has been put into early and active operation is that of speedy immiint.ion. We have a vast, wealthy and wonderful province, which enjoys the distinetion of havâ€" ing oneâ€"third of the population of the Dominion and oneâ€"half the wealth. We have plenty of room for many more good citizens. The congestion of Transâ€"ocean traffic has very definitely hampered Imâ€" migration, even in its natural form, so with this handicap confronting your representative Government in Ontario, it was found necessary to adopt some other and practical nlan.

JACK ALLAN, M.P.P. WEST YORK The immigration programme of the Ontario Government is not limited to the air plan, Large numâ€" bers of British immigrants are making _ arrangements _ through ‘Ontario Ho*e in London, England, to come to the Province by the regâ€" ular airlines and by puunfier shins. These are given the same inâ€" formation, advice, and assistance as the air immigrants. The Salvaâ€" tion Armg. the Canadian Réd Cross and the National Emdaloyment Serâ€" vice are flvinf the Government of the Province invaluable assistance in all its immigration activities.

Premier Drew formally announced the plan on June 20thn The Ontario Immigraâ€" tion Branch was established on June 26th. The Hon. Dana Porter spent several weeks in England early in July conferring with Major J. S. P. Armstrong, Agent General at Ontario House and setting uF the selection organizâ€" ation in London and Giasgow. In all of these plans the fullâ€"coâ€" operation of the British Governâ€" mert was received. In one month the Ontario Immigration Branch organized the entire operation on this side, arranged the hndins facilities at Malton and secured an eqflipfied the ‘Reception Centre and the Men‘s Residence. Within six weeks all preparations were made and the first vlane arrived exactly as scheduled about noon on August 3rd, Since then 140 flights ulflve arrived carrying 5300 passengersâ€" the first transâ€"Atlantic flights to land in Ontario. These new l'\;izens are naturally most interested â€" in employment. The National Employment §ervice has set up two small branches, one in the Men‘s Residence and the other inâ€"the Reception Centre for the women. It is interesting to note that in taking advantage of these offices all the new immigrants have found employment throughout the Province in an avexage ~of 3 days. It is also of interest that around 63% of those coming to Ontario under the Air Immigration Plan are under 30 years of age. Seven thousand will have arrived in tbe Province by midâ€"January. other side from either London or Preswick, Scotland.

After flying one eigth of the distance around the world they arrive at Malton airport where again for the first time, an assembly line procedure has been arranged to clear them through customs and immigration. Officials of the Ontario Immigration Branch of the Dept. of Planning and Development greet them on behalf of the Government of Pntario. They are provided with fruit and cigarettes and "briefed" on the facilities provided to assist them. Within forty minutes (or one minâ€" ute per nassenger) they are in the limousines waiting to take them to the Reception Centre in Toronto ocperated by the Canadian Red Toss. # If they have friends or relatives in Ontario, the Red Cross arranges to have them on hand to welcome them. Light refreshments are served, cables home are despatched, and a pleasant social time is enâ€" joyed hy allâ€"even when planes arrive i‘n the middle of the night. At the Reception Centre also, dormitories are provided to house the single girls until they have found quarters of their own. For this accommodation they vbay a nominal fee. Over 1800 nights lodgâ€" ing were provided in the first four months of operation. About 80% of these British Immigrants are men. Those requirâ€" ing temporary housing accommoâ€" dation are taken from the Recepâ€" tion Centre to a large men‘s residence operated by the Salvation Army where beds for 200 men are available. In the first four months of operation «ver 1800 nights acâ€" commodations have been provided â€"again at a nominal fee. On Friday evening at 8 p.m. Prepanhr{ service will be held in the chapel.
