/. This adds up to telling housewives they can go ahead and cook with nothing to put in the "&:ave water.

This is a joint effort of the six Kiwanis clubs in greater Toronto and should have the commendation of every lover of culture. Through the efforts of this great organization there has been given a mt stimulus to music in all its phases. mt has been unearthed, voices have been trained, instrumental artists have been deâ€" veloped and stars have been created through the organized efforts of the Kiwanis clubs. Toronto is looked upon as a musical centre of great culture. This year‘s festival has a record entry list of over 2,900 entries. Thouâ€" ‘sands of music students will participate. Two weeks of musical treats are in store for the people. Five halls are being used with conâ€" certs every night in the Eaton Auditorium and two big concerts are being held at Massey Hall for the finalists. This shows what can be done by a coâ€"operative united effort with a manpower of leading executives and financial backing. Kiwanis has built well and the whole community is indebted because of their exâ€" eellent work. KIWANIS MUSIC FESTIV AL To tempt men to indulge themselvesâ€" that‘s a funny way to fight a war. But those planning military war know what indulgences make men soft. NONE SO BLIND And those fighting the "class war" know they cannot win unless they can get men to hate each other. They know they cannot get men to live and hate each other unless they destroy all moral standaras. Be faithful to your wife? "That‘s oldâ€" fashioned bunk," they say, and urge you to indulge in the "new freedom." They know full well that if they can stir up a good stiff row at home, it is easier to get you good and sore at the boss. And they win one more battle in the "class war."

And those who do not see what these demoralizing forces have in mind, cannot meet them. Fight to keep our moral standards in the world if you want to keep democracy. Further confusion and inconvenience to the public was occasioned on Monday, Dec. 8, when Finance Minister Abbott announced another change in his tariff decress of Nov. 17.

When that happens, however, the primary producer usually receives only a small part of the inâ€" creased cost. The Minister of Agriculture for Ontario points out, for instance, that when tomatoes were selling for eight and oneâ€"half cents a tin in 1940, the farmer received two cents for the contents; today the farmer reâ€" ceives only 2.63 cents a pound but the conâ€" sumer has to pay 14.5 cents. This the minisâ€" ter (who is able to cite many other instances of the same kind) says is partly due to the attitude of the consumer who wants his food done up in fancy and convenient packages, together with prompt and frequent delivery services, all of which cost more than they did. "If people would be satisfied with less in the way of services and fancy packaging", he contends, "they could buy their food for less money". The consumer as well as the farmer ought to be highly interested in Mr. Kennedy‘s proâ€" gram for getting food of quality to the conâ€" sumer at a lower price, because both will benefit if it can prove successful. He says that last spring he had a head of lettuce bought in a store at 15c. It was traced to the farmer who grew it at Learaington and it was found that he received only 15¢ per dozen for that shipment. Similarly, the cream cheese that sells to the consumer for 26 cents a package means only 12.5 cents to the farmer who supplies the contents. There is a constant pyramiding of prices as goods pass from hand to hand in the course of processâ€" ing and distribution, and anything which can be done to reduce this pyramiding ought to be appreciated by both producer and conâ€" sumer, especially at this time. conserv If we are paying through the nose for some of our food these days, it is not because the farmer is making a killing. He still receives only a small part of what the consumer pays and the larger part goes to all the people who handle his output, put it up in pretty packages and otherwise add to its cost before it reaches the eventual consumer. When, therefore, higher food prices come under atâ€" tack, don‘t always blame the farmer. He may be getting a bit more than he used to get but the lion‘s share of the increase goes to others. Moreover, high prices are things thinking farmers do not want when food is scarce, because, as Mr. Kennedy points out, the farmers on the whole make less money under ’81‘th conditions.â€"Brockville Recorder and imes. Some men, but very few, are born to find a million dollars waiting for them, but most millionaires reach their million in the later years of their lives. Making a million dollars is a full time job. Millionaires have little or no time to make friends, even less time to think of the welfare of others. It is not till he reaches middle life that such a man begins to realize that he has no need of more dollars and finds that something is lacking in his life. He has built his fine home but has no real friends to come and share it with him. He wanders out into his beautiful garden to admire the blooms which he himself had no part in cultivating. He rides in his big car driven by his chauffeur and misses the enâ€" joyment of driving it himself. That is the man with a million dollars. A wealthy man you say ? & Most people, when speaking of wealth, speak in terms of dollars. A man with a million dollars is referred to as a wealthy man and many envy him, wishing they were in his shoes. Many a man dreams of what he could do if he only had a million. Usually the first thing a man does when he owns a million dollars is build himself a fine big home, a home much bigger than he needs, a beautiful garden with sunken flower beds, rose arbors, beautiful lawns and perhaps a swimming pool. He buys the biggest car on the market, perhaps two or three. He has a chauffeur to drive him, servants to wait on him hand and foot, likely a valet to dress him. In contrast let us take the man with a moderate income, he has h family, a little home to fit the family, perhaps a little overâ€" crowded, he has a garden 20 x 30. He is never alone, has his family and friends. He loveshis.garden and would not think of allowâ€" ing anyone to meddle with it. He has a car, an old one no doubt, but he has the joy of driving it himself, For a swimming pool he‘s content with a bath tub. He belongs to many commu“n:z organizations, he takes a part in the ch , he never has a minute to himâ€" self, In other words this man is enjoying life. Here is a wealthy man, a man who is admired and loved in the community where he resides. Here is the man with wealth that dollars canfiot buy. A WEALTHY MAN The Editor, Times and Guide. Dear Sir: Reports which I have received from Postmasters in all parts of the countr{ show that coâ€"operation by the public in mailing early at Christmas was more marked than ever this year and I would like, on behalf of the Canadian Postal Serâ€" vice, to express to you and ‘the ptublic generally our very warm appreciation of the assistance so generously accorded to us. â€" Oonce again the volume of Christmas Mail, parcels and letâ€" ters, reached new high levels in most offices. Because the great majority of patrons, however, coâ€" operated with the Post Office in mailin§l before or on 19th Decemâ€" ber, which had been publicized as the closing date, peak dates in most post offices occurred on 18th, 19th and 20th December. This enabled our greatly augmented staffs to come to grips with the tremendous volume of Christmas mail in ample time to assure deâ€" livery before Christmas Day. In fact, all our reForu indicate that on the day before Christmas all deliveries were back to almost normal. 1 want particularly at this time to make grateful acknowledgment of the assistance extended to us by the newspapers in attaining this very gratifying result. In all parts of the country, the newsâ€" papers gave very generous display to our announcements and to speâ€" cial articles on various phases of Post Office work, and I am sure that this publicity played no small part in making the public consâ€" cious of the need to mail early. Railway Receives New Snow Melter Please accept _ my warmest thanks for the help given to us and to the public in assuring exâ€" peditious handling of the Christâ€" mas mails. A 100â€"ton giant snow melter, first of its kind to reach Canada, has been delivered to the Canadian National Railways at Montreal. It is speciallyâ€"designed for use in the terminal area and will clip a sizeâ€" able figure from the snow removal budget. The pronged teeth of two spirals at the front of the machine whip snow from the tracks to two conveyor belts which carry it to a huge 16,000â€"gallon melting tank at the rear. The snow that can be melted in this tank is equivalent to the amount carried on 32 flat cars fully loaded. When full the tank can be emptied in a few minâ€" utes in any water area, by means of two 14â€"inch valves. Enlarged high school areasâ€" Sincere consideration has been given these districts and as a conâ€" sequence the improvement of the rural high school course has turned the attention of many county counâ€" cils to the various limitations of many of the small Secondary schools now in existence. Every county but one has set up Conâ€" sultative Committee to report upon the desirability of enlarging the High school districts within the county. In all these cases, the Department of Education is glad to supply information and advice and it has been found that coâ€" operation has been very good, but it should be noticed that the demand for more adequate schools is coming from the people themâ€" selves, and that the decision on setting the boundaries of High school districts rests on the county council. The department will not approve of the formation of new High school districts that are so small that the disadvantages of existing small Secondary schools will be continued. This, of course, is but an extension of the general movement toward larger school areas which is so well exemplified in the township school area. In 1938 there were only fifteen townâ€" ship school areas in the province; at present almost 50% of the rural school sections are included in these areas. These larger areas not only effect economies by more efficient administration, they also provide a wider program of studies, transâ€" port children to Secondary schools and offer more attractive positions to good teachers. Guidance. Any effective school system must be closely related to the life of adults in the community. This relationship is becoming inâ€" creasingly clear in Ontario. To enable the pupils and their parents to choose wisely among the varied courses of training now provided, a guidance branch %\u been set up. The aim of this branch is to assist students in understanding their own aptitudes and limitations, and in choosing, training for and enterâ€" ing occupations in which they may have reasonable hope of t{nding success and satisfaction. Recent amendments to the| school law permit school boards to establish counselling staffs.

The department, under the able leaderâ€" ship and guidance of the minister, has made deep inroads to assist the student who otherwise might have suffered the hardship of having to forego the possibility of an educaâ€" tion which was felt was their life‘s work. Had this system been in operation years ago, there is no doubt that the benefits would have been very much appreciated. Summer Courses. Everyone reaâ€" lizes that the intervention of war and those of recent date, have materially affected gemeral routine, as many plans had to be sideâ€" tracked in order to get on with the war effort, and everyone was willâ€" ing to do their part as was evinced by the people. Naturally, with the call to many and the equally generous response, there is no doubt that many ambitions, trainâ€" ing plans and ideas had to be deâ€" ferred and as a result considerable delay was brought about. This did intorfere with specialized training and so to overcome that situation as quickly and as effectively as possible, in 1947 a full range of summer school courses was arâ€" ranged for teachers, . _ New School Buildings . . . In 1944 a committee on the planning, construction and equipment of schools in Ontario was set up. Under the chairmanship of Proâ€" fessor Eric Arthur, this committee made intensive studies of the effectiveness and the cost of the most modern types of school conâ€" struction. Through the committee the Department of Education built a demonstration school at Utterson, Port Sydney, incorporating many of its most advanced ideas. This "V. K. Greer Memorial School" has just been opened by the Prime Minister. Its construction, and the work of the committee which it illustrates, have already influenced many new _ schools, and have ushered in a new era of better light, greater flexibility and more healthâ€" ful surroundings for Ontario school children. Snrply of Teachers . . . The supiy of teachers now shows a marked improvement. During the war years and immediately after the cessation of hostilities, there was a worldâ€"wide shortage of ?ualified teachers.
