ages from the tebook MEMBER and I Office Cat Reports Catnips By Ginger Seldom has one highway ac cident directly affected so many families in this district as the bus crash near Richmond Hill on Saturday The sympathy of the community was expressed many times over by the acci dent We have heard expressions of concern by numerous townspeo ple over the traffic dangers for passengers travelling be tween Newmarket and Toronto We do not have the right to comment on the causes of the accident since we do not know the details which led up to it and because a charge has been laid against one man His case has not yet been heard by the court As always there is a brief but strong concern on the part of the public when a tragedy like one happens Apart from Saturdays acci dent the general attitude

with the in crease in numbers of vehicles on the roads particularly in the Toronto area We wonder if changing con ditions warrant changes in sche dules to increase the travelling time for busses with

skill and experience and hundreds of lives are saved every year by Canadian Red Cross through its dis aster service blood transfusion service outpost hospitals and nursing stations water safety program and many other humanitarian services The Red Cross helps to keep Canada healthy safe and secure In March the Red Cross is asking for help to continue this work When the volunteer canvasser calls remember that you serve by giving that you are there when disaster or trouble strikes You have volunteered your dollars so that the volunteer workers will have their materials to ease suffering and give help You need your Red Cross and the Red Cross needs you Give generously and keep the Canadian Red Cross strong in 1957 The objective is in Newmarket and district NEED OBJECTIVE VIEWS The spirit in which municipal affairs are conducted in Newmarket needs questioning Town council meetings continue to drag on until late hours each Monday night and members have been complaining that too much time is wasted over little things while the important matters for consideration arc left until the last minute It seems to us that the problems in the town council are caused by the attitudes of individual members Too often we find a member taking a personal rather than an objective view Enquiries made by a member about the activities of anothers committee are fraught with overtones reflecting personal grievances Outright sarcasm about anothers viewpoints or practices is not uncommon It is getting to the point now when it is diffi cult to distinguish a genuine proposal from another barb ed remark about someone else Recently a proposed pol icy was outlined by a member another member took it as a derogatory comment on the activities of his committee Our view was that the proposal was logical that it con cerned the conduct of the whole council not one com mittee No one would object to a three or four hour nicotine if the time were consumed by legitimate questions and objective discussion We could not encourage tho curtail ment of objective discussion but for the good of the town and healthy government lets take a completely objective view in council of all issues and leave the per sonalities to the committee meetings or the coffee groups Goodness knows there are sufficient legitimate grievances to be aired without the personal ones CIVIL DEFENSE HERE There are indications from correspondence to the town council of Newmarket that an active civil defense organization on the local level will be set up in the near future This time according to messages to local officials adequate financing will be provided from higher levels of government For years the public has read volumes in news papers and magazines about civil defense on what to do and what should be done In case of an enemy attack or another form of disaster Long echelons of civil defense directors committees subcommittees and so on were set up on paper But it was all on paper and it merely looked impressive Lacking were the funds to make the organization effective For over ten years we have lived with the thought of the atomic or hydrogen bomb exploding Yet not one citizen in this community knows what he should do in case one does drop near us The news that measures in tangible form are forthcoming is heartening This news paper published a series of articles on civil defense at one time at the request of the master organization At the time it was published we felt that it was quite useless in forming the public of the need for civil defence and the techniques proposed when no practical measures were be ing employed in the community Now we can look for ward to being of use to the public in this field CENTENNIAL BOOK SUCCESS Mr Jack Luck should becongratulatedon his successful efforts to promote a centennial souvenir book for Newmarket Mr Luck has completed the arrange ments for advertising in the book and in all it has been a financial success Time now will be devoted to rewrit ing material and collecting editorial data and photos Mr Luck sends out this message that there are still a few businessmen who have not sent in copy and cheques Several of the latter cheques must be lost in the mail We hope they come soon to restore our faith in the post office department said Mr Luck We are weary from making continual repeat calls and as our objective has been overreached we shall have to consider those outstanding advertisements by the end of the week as unwanted Kindest thanks to all those who have cooperated and we hope we have not overlooked anyone he said EDUCATION Noteworthy is the honest criticism by teachers educationists and others of the system of education in Ontario Granted some of the quoted comments of pro minent persons arc often overcolored Canadian high schools are sort of adolescent playpens that dont even do a proper job of educating the student of average abil ity said Dr Eugene at a recent panel discussion in Toronto But thank goodness there are now sound peo ple who are thinking objectively We are having second thoughts about our educat ion said Dr The idea that all should go to high school and college is a castoff fad from the US Dr Forsey called President Eisenhowers statements in this regard unadulterated balderdash This week we are publishing an interesting talk on the subject Education in a Changing World given by Mr A Jackson at a meeting of the Newmarket Rot ary club Mr Jackson is supervising principal of the Newmarket public schools We think his article is worth reading and it is highly recommended to parents and teachers The first part appears on page seven and the final part will be published next week OUR SIDE OF THE STORY by HARVEY PATRIOTISM IS NOT ENOUGH When Russia started the cold war against the West the free world was in posses sion of the and the Soviet Union was not It was in our power specifically in the power of the United States to have the major Soviet cities That course was not followed it was not even pro posed Why not The clear answer is that the overwhelming majority of peo ple in the free world would have felt that it was morally wrong Indeed the moral ob jection to using the Abomb was so strong that the bomb was not even used to stop open aggression in Korea Moral con siderations clearly play a part sometimes a decisive part in the policies of democratic states Unfortunately we have pub licists who shut their eyes to the facts and deny that moral ity plays any part in interna tional relations Worse still there arc some who claim moral considerations should not have any weight in foreign pol icy They unblushingy assert that the sole duty of govern ment is to further the interests of the nation The Machiavellian doctrine that moral considerations have no place in international poll- tics has been practised by ruth less powerseekers but until Hegel came along nobody tried to argue that wrong becomes right when perpetrated by a king or emperor Hegel made immorality respectable He did so by personifying The State and by arguing that states art on a different plane from that of individuals in a realm where the rules of individual morality do not apply Hegels view was practically official philosophy of many German universities for about a century Popularized by von and a host of mill it laid the foundation for the Nasi movement and provided a defense for the Nazi atrocities The world was shocked by the coldblooded murder of millions of Jews and Poles and the confiscation of their goods and lands for the benefit of Germany nut the whole program was a logi cal application of Hegels theory that the state above morality No democrat can logically hold the view that the State is above morality Democrats re gard the State as a mere piece of machinery through which people act In democratic theory and in plain fact is some morally responsible for any act done in the name of the State The democratic position was stated in the clearest terms by Gladstone State policy does not make anything right which is not right in itself contribution to the victory of the cause of freedom Edith said Patriotism is not enough Loyalty to country must be expanded into loyalty to humanity A nation may justifiably feel that it has some contribution to make to humanity and that it therefore has a duty to survive Specifi cally the nations that have achieved the liberal democra tic way of life can claim to be custodians of a great gift for mankind There will often be times when a nation has to choose be tween the easy course dictated by selfinterest and hard course dictated by duty to hu manity That choice was pre sented to many countries in the course of Hitlers conquests The easy course especially for a weak country like Greece was to submit to German oc cupation without fighting and to wait to bo liberated by the Western Power The Greeks made hard choice They resisted And although they were overrun they upset the Nazi timetable and made a How can nations be induced to behave more generously to make more sacrifices for the sake of a decent world Clear ly it is by people seeing that they are bound by the same moral code when they act through the government as when they act individually Morality will not long sur vive a belief in morality If you tell a man that everybody else is a crook and a swindler that anybody who acts honest ly is a fool you have done your best to produce another crook If you convince a whole popu lation that no government ever acts except from considerations of selfinterest you are doing your best to produce a popula tion that will not support a government in any generous action The democracies have some solid achievements to their credit Witness The Marshall Plan The Colombo Plan As sistance to Japan The Techni cal Aid Program These pro grams small as they may be in proportion to the needs or to our ability are an unanswer able proof that there Is some decency in international deal ings the giant liner In eastern US the Queen Elizabeth Se hatl The i the servant not the master of the people the state is their guarantee infringement on their rights their agent in international and it is not function of the state to assume the direct m of those activities which rest on individual choice It was just about coffee break time last week when the boss came blasting out of the dark room waving his hands in the air with his face red and swollen a bit from trying to control his temper Ive never seen the beat of it he raged Ive been develop ing films and making prints for years but I just cant get results from that last batch He had some negatives and prints in his hand and they were pretty bad One of the negatives had a hole burned in it Just look at this negative he said Its as black as the ace of spades Whod think that sev en minutes in DK50 would do that The question was really rhet orical but Cyclops answered it anyway It isnt he said Its Seven min utes is too long for The bottle said an swered the boss Isnt logical too expect that that is what it has in it Not said Cyclops tak ing a sip of his coffee If you had looked on the supply shelf youd have seen that there was nt one can of there noth ing but so whyd you ex pect to find it in the bottle I suppose you have an an swer for this too he asked with just a hint of sarcasm in his voice He was showing Cy clops the negative with the hole burned in it Twenty seconds exposure in the and be fore you tell thats too long which is obvious he added holding up the negative and sighting through the hole with a puzzled look on his face let me tell you that Ive printed plenty with 20 seconds expos ure Not with a big photoflood bulb you havent answered Cyclops No wonder you burn ed a hole in it Those bulbs throw out a lot of heat A photoflood said the boss weakly He sat down abruptly at the table and looked sort of exhausted Have some coffee youll feci better offered Cyclops We ran out of bulbs so I put a in You have to make allowances for this differ ence If you know the difference snarled the boss And tell me this he asked warming up to the subject again Why isnt there any hypo I had to mix some myself Theres plenty of hypo an swered Cyclops patiently Its in a brown bottle on the floor The bottle has half a nitric acid label on it black lettering on a white label If you look closely you can see ric acid on it Its also got a red plastic top he added helpfully That does it shouted the boss Were going to go into that witches den and get to the bottom of this They stalked to the darkroom with the rest of us at a respect ful distance all except Slim who has a habit of turning up at coffee time look ing thirsty and hopeful He crowded right at their heels loves a commotion We hung back knowing from ex perience what to expect but when the door opened Slim right in The sight is a shocker righ the start Its Cyclops comb ion dark room and engraving partment Cyclops is a tight who wont spend a nickel anything if he can make it odds and ends The room crowded with his equipment that sort of spra and meanders all over hes finished with anything drop it on the floor and k it into the corner About every six weeks he shovels junk out and starts all ove gain It had been five weeks ce hed shoveled But that isnt the worst arc bottles of chemicals jars and cans of solutions over the place Anyone of is bad enough but put them together and theyd stun skunk in a gas mask Standing safely outside watched Bliggens His nose curling up like the end of a t and he was getting from trying to hold his and finally gasped in a lung That was his mistake He standing right by the etc tank which was bleeding some fumes and right was an open bottle of some rible chemical Cyclops uses take the tops off the plates The combined fumes just bout turned Bliggens inside He made for the door gasp and wheezing and trying brush the tears from his Served him right Cyclops the boss are the only ones can stand the smell of the pi for any length of time Inside the discussion was going strong Theres the acid for the s bath said Cyclops kicking side some old boxes to ex two identical bottles glacial acetic acid tec cat Dont use the glacial wreck your film How do you tell them asked the boss The technical has a cap on it and this bottle h has in it for prints That bottle says DK50 screamed the boss in rage frustration I know said Cyclops but it has metal cap it The DK50 bottle with a in it holds the Thats you tell the difference he helpfullv Whats this stuff asked boss weakly pointing to jars that held brown sticky One is varni the other is staging ink an Cyclops Theyre for graving anyway All right he asked phantly how do you tell th apart Smell said Cyclops I dont detect any differenc said the boss sniffing because you have got an engravers nose quij cd Cyclops If you had a nose there wouldnt be a problem Staging ink has oomph then The boss started around room There were bottles shelves bottles on the floor a cans everywhere Some had la Continued on Page 3 Co by Dairy Farmer The Top Six Inches i The last issue of the Financial Post a publication devoted to Financial problems and econom ic question points out a new aspect of collective bargaining and labors share of the pie It shows that in spite of strike new contracts fringe benefit all the rest of the improvements won by labor their share of dis tributive national income hasnt increased In Great Britain it went from Utile under in 1870 to little over in and in the United States it hasnt changed from to It has achieved many things such as changes in working con ditions and occasionally it man aged to grab more for organized labor than for example for white collar workers The one thing it did not achieve was to cut into the profits of corporat ions There are many reasons for this one is that as soon as there was a substantial increase in wages it was passed on to the consumer and thus back to labor and the other is of course that as the cost of labor went up machine efficiency was increas ed Now there is one more import ant point that is accomplished by collective bargaining This is the fact that the wages of un skilled labor increase faster than skilled labor because the usual slogan is for so many cents per hour and this tends to pull down skilled labor at the expense of unskilled labor There are several important implications in this whole prob lem for farmers provided the a- statements are true The first is that by increasing the price of the product alone sold by farmers the farmer may not necessarily increase his net in come because it may just increa se the cost of living eventually may reflect back Now this statement could raise quite a controversy yet it is worth considering After all the produce Is sold in some percent age is the farmers own Un marketed The second is that insisting on a collectively product and thus diminish competition one has a weapon since the good a efficient farmer or skilled lab will get loss than the or inefficient one As wages in industry arc got up ways and means are to save the more expensive la or Machines arc installed latest in this series of develo is automation Thus people are producing mo cars and they still sell at same profit but cost more to buyer What of agriculture If few farmers produced more ities with less labor they do the same thing Obviously means installing more machi cry investing more money at using more skilled farm la By insisting on marketing to give everybody a price we prolong the day the man who has no capital improve methods of The latter will always have ficulties and the farming indu try as a whole will always carrying them We want to remind you this problem as sketched here not expressed In political and we are fully aware that But the fact remains is unpopular and perhaps im it gets us back to the old pro that if sufficient were available readily to far to rebuild their bulk and remodel their machine the same process would be for them as for industry It might just bo that marketing legislation la as protection it only cures and not the cause cause is still the toohigh cos per unit produced ere about the decrease in population Maybe we worry about the slowness of decrease and the lack of pro gross In mechanization
