MIRACLE OF A.A. When expressions like, "Don‘t quote me," ®Keep the meeting closed," "What do the majority say," rise increasingly to the lips, it is time to look for the shoals ahead. It may be that some of the problems that vex the world in these uneasy days are spawned by our very willingness to comâ€" promise, our shoddy compulsion towards caution rather than right. Of such is the stuff of slavery and fear. But what can we feel for the man or woman who tailks in sly whispers, who skulks behind the curtain of innuendo, who tears in shreds the reputation of another behind his back, who climbs on the bandâ€"wagon of accusation only to disembark hurriedly when the road becomes a little rough under the counterâ€" »â€" A man who will stand up and be counted, who will bring his charges in the open, who will risk his own safety and security and €omfort for something in which he believes, is a man to be respected. V§emay‘not agree with his views but we can feel nothing but admiration for his strength of conviction. The obligation to form opinions, the right ‘to express them, and the courage to defend them, even at personal cost, are among the prime essentials of citizenship. _ _ _ "Aid in medical research apd pioneering in the field of public health", said Mr. Martin, ""are among the many services for which the Canadian Red Cross Society is asking for three million dollars this month." Hon. Paul Martin, in commenting upon the formation of this Society, expressed approval and said : "Recent figures from Massachusetts show that there are more cases of chronic rheumatism today than of heart disease, tubâ€" erculosis and cancer combined. The total of pain on the part of the rheumatic sufferers is incalculable". s To do this it has planned the formation of the Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatic Soâ€" city. ‘Its objective is to promote furtherance of preventive diagnoses, treatment and pubâ€" lic education pertaining to this disease in its 200 forms. > The Canadian Red Cross has undertaken and carried out many projects with great success and benefit to the people of this Dominion. Much information has been given in .our columns and particulars of a new line s, activity that promises to be productive immense relief to many thousands of Canadians who suffer from the pains of arthritic and rheumatic disease. . s A FINE RED CROSS ENTERPRISE THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1948 DOROTHY GREENWOOD, Assistant News Hditor. had died and been brought back n. _ As though they had been and poignant vision to look upon &u'.mndnm‘nt;i m'a;:g dml. y nonâ€" tegeneration that the more . insertion, $2.50; extra 4?&'\»-0-.“&.--“. l= hm&o m a or first insertion, and 40c per im, 86 perâ€"line for each subsequent 14 lines to the inch). a s (local), 50c per inch.

Adequate inspection and the penalizing of citizens who refuse to accept warnings and to obey health laws, might bear results where pleas fail. It should not be too much trouble to take a few moments to wrap garbage securely and to obtain a strong, suitable contairier, equipâ€" ped with a lid that fits. There is nothing that destroys the beauty and cleanliness of a street more quickly than the spreading of garbage to the four winds and the combative frenlzy of dogs to obtain a fair share of the spoils. Economic troubles grow in soil where there is lack of moral fiber. f hMm not governed by love will be ruled by w. ts And yet reports that constantly reach this office indicate that too many householders are still neglecting the most elementary of sanitation practices. From a selfish point of view alone, it is to be wondered that anyone would wish to entice rats and stray dogs to his premises. The hope may be in the back of his mind that the unwelcome visitors, if any, will descend on his neighbour. That uncovered or poorlyâ€"wrapped garbage is an invitation to rats and a menace to comâ€" munity health, most citizens know, or should know. Surely enough publicity has been given to the matter to enlighten even the most thoughtless. Newspapers, too, have this further responâ€" sibility. If there is conflict in our own staff and if we only look for and report news of a world in conflict, we can only kill men‘s hope and faith in any better way of life. But, if we look for and print stories of people and groups who have found the secret of caring for each other and thus getting along toâ€" gether, we furnish men new faith on which to build. And, if we live and work that way ourselves, we can speak, not just because we own and operate a printing press, but because we have cut a pattern. We can speak with the authority of experience. Business, it would seem, has brought upon itSelf responsibility other than the mere supâ€" ply of goods. Their place and way of work mold the mental and emotional personality of men,. And the human undercurrents that come out of the factory do more to shape the world of tomorrow than all the discoveries that come out of the scientific laboratory. PUT THE LID ON SHAPING THE WORLD OF TOMORROW The scientific industries have given us the way to split the atom. Should they not, then, give us the way to unite mankind? Men, with atom bombs, who have not learned to live toâ€" gether in their small world, will make the largest land quite uninhabitable. At cost levels in effect since last October only people earning $2,880 or more can afford either to rent or buy new homes. It is estiâ€" mated that four and fiveâ€"room houses which last year cost from $7,500 to $8,000 gach will cost from $8,000 to $8,500 at current figures. This expense might be even higher were it not that many houses are being built within eight months, due partly to readier supply of materials, as compared to the 12 manths formerly required. Optimistic estimates indicate that total dwelling units built in 1947 may reach 75,000 which is 5,000 under the federal government target of 80,000. It is obvious that unless there is a reversal ofâ€"policy by the Dominion and provincial governments, the 100,000 obâ€" jective for 1948 will not be approached. Clearly, nothing short of a concerted effort by governments down to the municipal level will diminish the social inconvenience, loss and hardship the lack of decent homes has caused.â€"Ottawa Citizen. The aviation industry has given us a small world. Should it not do something, therefore, to make that small world livableâ€"to help men grow big enough to live in a small world toâ€" gether, and fly through the air without flying at each other‘s throats ? In a single month after the removal of price controls on building materials last September 15, construction costs jumped eight per cent. The price of new homes was also boosted beâ€" cause three times as much material went into commercial and industrial construction as into dwellings. These were two developments the federal government could have mitigated by retention of price and allocation controls. The 20 per cent rise in homeâ€"building costs in the first ten months of last year gives anâ€" other serious seback to hopes, already at a low ebb, for an adequate Canadian housing program. Construction costs last October were 76 to 91 per cent above those of 1939 and the probability is that they may be even higher at the time largeâ€"scale building begins this year.

This has not only been a headache to officials but has caused hard feeling between munmities. Where the mother of a neg! child has been moving from piace to place with re fixed abode, a municipality is often saddled with cost for the maintenâ€" ance of the child which it felt was in no way its obligation except that the child was taken into custody in that municipality.
