THERE‘s OPPORTUNITY HERE With the agitation for the opening of Sunâ€" day in and around Toronto being forced upon by one of the city fathers, with the great Zmand for increased opportunities of spendâ€" ing Sunday as a day of pleasure, with the. great exodus from the church services, is \‘there a danger that we have neglected to pay #ribute to the living God, from whom all blessings flow. We certainly have been fortuâ€" nate in this great garden of plenty. Have we acted wisely as stewards? Do not pass this over lightly, think upon it seriously and reâ€" member we are but stewards entrusted with the riches of this land. God reigns and conâ€" trols the heavens and the earth. The drought means heavy financial losses, but it is also an @pportunity of bringing all back to their senses and their dependence on God for all the good things of the earth. Â¥% June graduates, like June brides, look forâ€" ward to living "happily ever after." But livâ€" ing involves earning a living, and this year‘s erop of graduates is told that job prospects in many fields will be less favorable than in any year since the war began. Over the next few years there is expected to be an overâ€" supply in the fields of engineering, law, acâ€" counting, business administration, personnel work, and journalism. The campaign to waken the public to the needs of teachers and of education in general has had one unfortunate result. It has scared off new recruits from an already depleted profession. It has publicized the underpayâ€" ment of teachers, and has obscured the rich rewards many teachers have found through working with tomorrow‘s citizens. It has stressed the long hours they must put into their work, and has ignored the long sumâ€" mers of travel, study, or at least a change of pace through summer jobs. THE GREAT DROUGHT But there is a continuing and acute underâ€" supply of teachers. This community and the surrounding disâ€" frict of Central Ontario is passing through m record period of drought. It is over 30 years since there has been such a situation greated by the lack of rain. It shows that greater care must be exercised for the conâ€" ‘servation of those forests and watersheds that are so essential to a continued water lupfily. It shows definitely that man with all his ingenuity, with all his scientific deâ€" velopments and with all his synthetie producâ€" __There is need for a twoâ€"edged campaign (1) to show the attractions of teaching, and ‘(2) to increase the attractions of teaching. «â€"Christian Science Monitor. on is:still dependent upon a Supreme Being or th@ raine, the winds, the snow and the n to bring forth the fruits of the earth so t men may live in peace and contentment. the hour of darkness when the German g:nes were flying over England and all ked black and dreary, the people returned to their church and prayed to their God. This has been the record down through the ages. . The B.N.A. Act of 1867 provided that elecâ€" tions to the House of Commons should be by the electoral laws of the several and the qualifications of electors ‘ ently remained the same for both the + on and the Provincial elections until . In that year the Electoral Franchise was passed and it stipulated that the gis of franchise be the ownership or occupaâ€" of land of a specific value, although the wons of owners, and particularly farmers‘ sons, were given the right to vote. Ontario adopted manhood suffrage in 1907. â€" Women did not enjoy the franchise until 14917, when the adoption of the provincial MAJOR RESPONSIBILITY Political apathy characterizes many Canaâ€" dian citizens, causing them to neglect to exercise their franchise. This great demoâ€" €ratic privilege has been extended to the Canadian people only during comparatively recent years. The secret ballot was adopted in Canada in 1867, and before 1867 a man could vote more than once if he owned land in different eonstituencies. Thus men of wealth conâ€" trolled the balance of power by their multiâ€" plicityof the ballot. 8. _ BP wA -WL‘W o per line notices en . ote., 1 “fi!‘:‘fi!‘.&!‘._‘_‘ A::__J"_.: t y taly 50¢. m.nl.dlhnhu trm.h: F‘V mal wording will cost Je per word, also 10¢ THURSDAY, JUNE 23, poemes HRDTD Ca d L. . s‘ of 60e per inch for the first insertion. and 40e per buâ€"-flmuwhtw-ahd-mn mtiulll-hh ). tieal Election advertising (local), 50c per inch. _‘ .

Person Monday, June the 27, is the day when you have the opportunity of casting your vote have entered into the contest and all efforts to ridicule and debase the three leading parties have been put forth. With all the tons of printed matter, with all the verbal presenâ€" tations over the air and on the platform, with all the accusations and denials that have flooded the minds of the voters, there is a heavy burden placed upon the individual voter to exercise his franchise intelligently. A careful analysis must be made of the situation. for your representative in the next federal Erlimt."!‘hm has been one of the most tter campaigns put forth for years, carried on for the last five weeks. The government :n for the lu_lt egi;o weeks. The fovmmunt AS M ASSAl y ve Conservâ€" ative Party, by the gé} Party and the Comâ€" The Liberal government has been through a trying period of administration. They have worn the rut deep in their 14 years of leaderâ€" ship. Have they become rather indifferent to the needs of the people? Have they been guilty of ruling by orderâ€"inâ€"council, instead of by the will of Parliament? Have they been extravagant in their expenditures and unmindful of strict economy in giving value for the dollar? Have they been true to their trust? These are the questions that the voter has to ask. * Has the CCF become a foundation that is strong enough u{oon which they can build their social structure? Does history of the socialistic movement justify the statements that are made by this party? Has the socialâ€" istic government in England, with its nationâ€" alization of the coal mines, of the banks, of transportation been for the benefit of the people generally? Has‘ the work put into effect in any place ‘where the CCF policies have been tried, proven a success? The party will state that they have, but the true facts of history will give the voter the proper anâ€" swer to this question. It does appear that the CCF policies are a fallacy for the Canadian people. Does the Progressive Conservative policy hold any advantage for the people of Canâ€" ada? Does the aggressive leadership of the Hon. Mr. Drew appeal to Canadians who want better conditions, better opportunities, better housing and a chance to develop free enterâ€" prise to the fullest for the people?: Has the Hon. Mr. Drew during his public and private career fallen down in his accusations, in his administrations of the various offices he has held, in the general work for the people whom he has served? Is he the man to lead the Canadians into a state of prosperity, a state of peace and happiness, a ;t,ate of advanceâ€" ment of nationhood? These‘are the questions that the voter must ask himself in order to cast an intelligent vote. You have the Liberal party, who are resting on their laurels; you have the CCF party who are building upon a fallacy ; you have the Progressive Conservaâ€" tive party who are determined to give a posiâ€" tive leadership for the benefit of the people. Which will you cast your vote for? Remiemâ€" ber, that a strong leadership means success for Canada. Remember that the weak faciliâ€" tating government‘s attitude has not proven to be to the best interest of Canadians. Note, that socialism does not appeal generally to Canadian life. Remember, one thingâ€"Monâ€" day is election day. It is your day, your opâ€" portunity to go out and vote, but vote intelliâ€" gently and for Canada‘s future. . Much public discussion was instantly aroused when a news report told of the deâ€" cision of the Ontario Court of Appeal, June 9, which upheld the right of a group of people in Ontario to exercise race discrimination. The case rested upon action taken by a group of cottagers at a Lake Huron resort to "bar Jews, Negroes and other ‘undesirable‘ people from their beac?front." A SERIOUS SITUATION What evidence was submitted in support of this undemocratic procedure in a free country was not disclosed in the press story. "Undesirables" of course can be read to inâ€" clude people of any race or color, yet Jews and Negroes were specifically mentioned. There will be widespread public approval of the anâ€" nouncement that this case will be taken right to the Supreme Court of Canada. â€" This paper views this situation as an afâ€" front to the principles of democracy under which human beings should be held equal under the Law. Of course there are many cases where "undesirables," no matter what their race, attempt to disrupt community harmony and sdometimes try to destroy esâ€" tablished businesses. Even this local comâ€" munity would not long. tolerate this sort. of business. There are always facts and motives in every background. wWOMEN AND THE VOTE For better or for worse, Canada‘s June 27 vote will mark the eighth federal election on a general scale for those otherWise rare specâ€" izrilens-â€"women who admit they‘re more than They got their first vote generally in 1921, four years after the wives, mothers and sisâ€" ters of servicemen were declared eligible for the wartime election of 1917. There will be between 3,500,000 and 4,000,000 of them eligible this time. Electoral officials have no figures to inâ€" dicate any specific impatt they have had on Canadian democracy, whether they take their vote more seriously than men or whether they don‘t. But broadly speaking, it appears that they have been just as divided as their menfolk these last 28 years. No issue has caused them to vote as a bloc chiefly on the basis of sex. Their divisions have been particularly proâ€" nownced among those who have succeeded in winning élections. Jn all, starting with Onâ€" tario‘s Miss Agnes Macphail in 1921, five women have g:cched the Commons, including Mrs. George k, Mrs. Dorise Nielson, Mrs. Cora Casselman and Mrs. Gladys Strum, all from the West. \ No two represented the same Wilson was the first w@#man named to the Weston, Ontario, June 14, 1949. Toronto Transportation Comm., Yonge Street, Toronto, Ont. Dear Bill:, About a week ago a Weston citiâ€" zen phoned me to complain that his daughter had been fired from a job downtown because she couldn‘t get to work on time. He assured me that the TTC was at fault and asked me to check. This I have done by following the girl‘s route to King and Spadina for five mornings., § I arrived at the John St. stop in Weston at exactly 7.15 each mornâ€" ing. I caught the bus at 7.19â€"7.29â€" 7.26â€"7.31â€"7.24. Inside the bus the condition was S.R.0. T rolley coaches from the loop down were also crowded to capacity and runâ€" ning up to a maximum of seven minutes. behind schedule. From Dundas downtown the service apâ€" weared to be fair. Times of arrival ‘at King and Spadina, however, were 8.23â€"8.33â€"8.30â€"8.42â€"8.35. The TTC must not try to excuse itself by dragging out the Main street paving job. You fellows are experts in taking care of such emergencies. The answer lies simâ€" ply in providing more frequent service to handle the increased loads. As you know, I always favored letting the TTC handle the job for which I felt it had all the answers. The situation out in Weston has become so serious that a small group of citizens are meeting me tonight to see what we can do about providing better service. The indication now is that we will attempt to place a few men on council this year to get on with the job either with or without the TTC. Regards, LARRY STEVENSON.

TTMES AND GUIDE, WES" 148 Lawrence Ave., â€": ... the pulpit, In the epistle for the day St. John exerts his readers to develop continually s love for God and for his fellowmen. He points out that it ummuumwmmubrn-m again in the spirit and is called up to engender from day to day a love, xs shown by our Lord Jesus Christ then upon earth. This love is the force that unites man with God. He who truly loves God puts forth the extra effort to please him in all his thoughts, words,and actions. It is when he has developed this great attribute towards God, that he deâ€" velops the highest manhood. B,M%Ndwdownthhiu attitude to his fellowmen, who as sons of God are all bound to show that love and fellowship that exemplifies the Christian relationship with God and man. Because the world hates Christians for their attitude towards the worldly things, there is no justification for any individual retaliating or being vindictive. As our Lord Jesus Christ suffered and died because of His great love for each one of us, so we likewise should be prepared to suffer for Him. Thus, by this love all are united in one family and drawn unto God. This passage is taken from St. John, third chapter, thirteenth verse. _ In the gospel for the day we have that story taken from St. Luke 14 and 16. It is the record of the invitation issued to the countryside to the great feast, and the various excuses that were made for not atâ€" tending. It is one of the illustrations given by our Lord Jesus Christ on His earthly ministry. It is a story that is most important to the people of today.\There is a definite similarity. People today find it too hot, too wet, too cold, environmeht not congenial or too much pleasure deâ€" manding their time instead of attending the invitation to worship God in the respective centres. All should endeavor to read these passages and ask themselves the pert questionâ€"am I making an excuse for not attending divine worship and singing the praises of God. #f "Is the Universe, Including Man, ‘Evolved By Atomic Force?" was the subject of the Lesson Sermon which was read in all churches of Christ, Scientist, throughout the world, including Third (%hutch of Christ, Scientist, 70 High Park Ave., Toronto, at 11 a.m. and 7.30 p.m. on Sunday, June 19, 1949. Guest speaker and leader at the Mount Dennis Citadel next Sunday is Major Arthur Calvert, chief auditor for the Salvation Army in Canada. The Major was stationed at Mt. Dennis Corps some years ago, and will perhaps be rememâ€" bered*by some of the older folks. His message and leadership will be inspiring and challenging. . Why not plan now to attend one or both of the meetings at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Major Calvert will also lead the Sunday School which comâ€" mences at 3 p.m. The lesson for this Sunday is another from the series on People at Prayer and is entitled ‘"The Master‘s Teaching About Prayer," reading from Matthew 6: 5â€"13. Text to learn is Luke 11: 1, "As He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased one of His disciples said unto Him, Lord, teach us to pray."

Salvation Army Christian Science The Golden Text was: "The earth is the Lord‘s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein." (Psalms 24: 1). Selections from the Bible includâ€" ed the following from Isaiah 45: 12: "I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded." Correlative citations from the Christian Science textbook, "Sciâ€" ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, included the following from page 205: "God creates and governs the universe, including man. The uniâ€" verse is filled with spiritual ideas, which He evolves, and they are obedient to the Mind that makes them." Grandview Baptist The newly decorated interior of Grandview Baptist Tabernacle was an inspiring surprise to the many boys and girls and adults who worâ€" shipped there Sunday. Pastor D. A. Whitelaw gave a brief introducâ€" tion to the book of Proverbs and then outlined from its passages, "Fathers undesired, and fathers desired." Then lifting the theme to a higher level, a challenge was given to all who were the children of God by faith in Jesus Christ to reverence, respect and receive the instruction of God the Father with willing obedience. In the evening the young people gathered, followed Pilgrim Chrisâ€" tian through Vanity Fair into Byâ€" Path Meadow and into the dungeon of Doubting Castle. This series of colored lantern slides has proved very interesting and profitable, giving much practical advice for the journey of life. Sunday School begins at 10 a.m. followed by church service at 11. Mr. Pulter, who has occupied the pulpit for the last three Sundays leaves to take up his new charge near Belleville.
