Whitby Remem bers Littie 'over a week has *passed since the LI.agedy- which miomentanily stunned this entire conmmunity. During the past week the. hearts of our citizens have been deep- ly noved as seldom before.

County Councils It ig not to be expected that any move, toward abolition of County Councils in On- taRVo wlll make much headway in the Leg- islature for many reasons. The chie! one ia that the County Council is a distinct division of the system o« responsible gov- emrment which we enjoy under British law and Wtcannot be summarily abolished with' out thousands of citizens who take a prid;ý lni theîr share of the government thrmgh the Countyý system, feeling' that their rights hav e been infringed upon. There -can be no doubt that the County Council while more or less an expensive 'body la fin doser touch with the great mass of citizens throughout the rural districts of this province than either the Provincial or Federal governments in that it cotisists ý>i rpresentatives from every individual Itown and township who are in close touch with the needs and problems of their con- atituents to a greater degree than one rep- ,esentatîve from the whole area can pos- ;i b .. At the same tirne, thebsneso 4h. County Council is carried on by of- ficials who are in most cases lifelong resi- dents of the. district in direct contact with the' questions and contentious problerns -which corne before council, and cannot be competen+l1y settled by the legisiature or by any oe town or township council. To this, as to every other phase of responsible. government, the words of Lincoln apply "4governnient of the people, for the people, by the people." On those words of Amen-. ca's greatest democrat, the whole chain of British government is -based. To remove even one link of that chaîn must undoubt- edly have a weakening effect on the sys- tem which is our greatest safeguard against the inroads of either Communisn or Fascism. It la because of the time niany County Councils take to transact business that an agitation has*started in recent years to do away with them, the cost being con- sidered too great. County Councils can do a whole lot to6niake their services valuable and at the samé time economical. So long as they continue to do this there need be lIttie fear that' they wilI cease to be part _..f our municipal system of governmnent. The Significance of Eaater _Easter-this year cornes at a time when 7civilizatioïn is- possibly in a more parlous wstate. than ever before in the history of Man' Nation is pitted against nation in shadow if not in substance, class against c1ae-, an 1 'creed against creed in some ' parts of the world.

The way tô do is to of- fer a smalprize and invite competition, so that various plans may be secured by the Council. Whether this plan is adapted or not, It Is certainly encouragîng to see that something la to be done to clean up the waterfront south f romn the coal sheds to the power station, so that the citizens may have some place to go in the summer months.

'Il týMl- "When the Canadian housewife buys a pair cf shees for junior, where does that money go ?" the National t'roduced in Can- ada Association asks in a recent news re- lease. It answers its own question in this way. "The inoney paid for the pair of shoes reimburses the farmer who isupplied the hides for the leather, the employees in the shoe factory where they were pur- chased, the employees who made the car- ton, the printer who net the identifying print on the box, the employees who made the ink used by the printer and right down te the lumberman who cut the wood from whlch the box was made. In reality, bear- ing in mind the inter-related industries, the pries of that pair of shoes is eventually spread ail over the country. Similarly the -Saine process f ollqws when the housewife buys something which te produced outside cf Canada which explains, in part, why approximately one. out cf every ten are on relief. in Canada today." 1 The sillinesascf some cf A-merica's Im- migration laws was demonstrated recently when a citizen of Canada, living in Unîted States for some years, was refused admis- sion after visiting in Canada-with hie wife and family, although hie wife and children were allowed to enter'. rem newspaper -reports it la leanned that Charles Cummings, left Can ada 18 yega ago and went te 'United States where he arnTied a U.
