Who. ever put the last box o! matche.ý (pnobabiy me) in the thing, pu, them in carelessiy, leaving th( matches criss cross. In taking on( out, it required quite a pull which, in turn, ignited the wholE box. The f lames shot up the wai] quick as scat. Fortunately, therE were no draperies or cloth near or we couid easiiy have had a nasty situation. That thing hae been there for years, nothing ever happened, then "bingo," il did happen. The papers recently carried pictures showing neglect of Riv- erdale Zoo in Toronto. Too bad! We used to deliver a crate of ba- nanas to the monkeys there every Wednesday afternoon, back in 1914, and, well remember the crowds of delighted people thal used to spend their leisune timE there, watching the antics of the various animais and birds. One cute littie monkey named Emily, used to beg for attention, she was so cute I used to peel a banana each Wednesday, and, hold it while she nibbled it. One day the miserabie littie stinker was munching contentedly on her fruit, when, suddenly, she ignor- ed the banana and made a vicious clutch at my hand. Our romance ended there and then. We had the pleasure o! assist- ing in showing the movie reels "Timagami Rangers" and "Re- turn of the Trees" to the boys of the Bowmanville Training School at 9 a. m. last Wednesday. At 10.45, we presented them in the Bowmanville High School. We would like to, now, publicly thank Geo. and Bill James for their part, aiso the staff of the two schools for their courtesy and cooperation. Ken Campbell and I also wish to thank both groups of scholars for the fine reception they gave us. It wouid be impossible to play to two more appreciative, attentive audiences. Hope it won't be too long before we are invited to visit them again. One thing we like about "Re- turn of the Trees" is that it is 95 per cent Durham, and, 100 per cent amateur. Besides being 100 per cent Canadian. "Timagami Ranger" is also 100 per cent Can- adian. 100 per cent amateur, 100 per cent Ontario. Why go ta Hollywood and pay out huge sums of money to make synthetic pictures, when we have the real McCoy right here in Durham? The combined Pontyp o o 1- Burketon hockey team played Bethany last week, and, won 3 to 2. Jake Van Dam needed five stitches to close the cut under his chin, which he picked up when boarded. Jake hails from Burke- ton, guess he's not quite as rugged as the Manvers boys. One of the niftiest skaters and stick handiers anmongst aur local -boys is a fellow named Ray Faith. He is the chap that runs the bake shop in our village. Scarlet fever and chicken pox are making the rounds in this vicinity. L.O.L. 82 held another success- ful dance Wednesday. Ruth Wii- ;on's orchestra still retains it's popuianity hereabouts. We attended a miscellaneous hower Friday night, in Oshawa, given in honor of a month old bride, Mrs. Cheeseborough. As a rule there's nothing unusuai in giving a young bride, or bride-to be a shower. But this one struck is as noteworthy. This bride is anurse at Oshawa General Hos- pital. The shower Was arranged by two former patients, Mrs. Hendrie and Mrs. Leslie. The ldies attending the shower were nostly nurses who serve floor A3, and, their former patients f the October-November peniod 1948. Perhaps such affairs are uite common, but it is the first time this writer ever heard of 1e like. Being the only man pre- ;ent made us feel shy at first. But there was such wholehearted good will evident in that large iroup of nurses and ex-patients, BRITISH LABOR M.P.

The writer is dealing with plan- ning and controis and anaiyzing the "theory and practice of Bni- tish Socialism." He says that "both naw matenial controls and price-fixing were aiways clumsy instruments, even unden wartime conditions, and that the controls must cease ta be effective as soan -W He goes on to point out that if, for instance, during the next twelve months, steel "cornes into balance" and suppiy exceeds de- mand, the steel contrai wili "auto- matically cease to function as a sanction against the inefficient producer, just as clothes ratîoning by coupon becomes futile the mo- ment there are more ciothes in the shops than money in the custom- ers' pockets." Thus he says: 'You cannot ration plenty, except in a totalitanion State." It appears that the Labor Gov- ernment finds itseif on the horns of a dilemma. If it succeeds in bringing about a condition of plen- ty it must either go forward to- ward Communism, with complete and permanent controls, price- fixing wage-fixing, and the direction of labor; or release con- trois and rationing and allow prices and wages to find their natural levels in a free market. The writer of the article con- tends that what is needed is a "Ire-definition of Socialist doct- rine." He says: "The democratic Socialist does not accept the Communîst view that the State should plan in detail ail product- ion and distribution. It is not our aim either to compel everyone to do the work we think he is best suited to or provide peopie with goods according to our definition of their needs. That is slavery. Under proper safeguards, most people prefer to seil their labor and to buy their goods in a free market. What the democratic Soc- ialist is determined to achieve is that the freedomn of the market is a genuine freedom, and this de- mands interference with the price system at many points." But that is flot Sociaiism at al;, it Is democratie capitalism. such as we have here in Canada. It is cer- ýil 1 'il i! i Il tainly not what the Labon Party envisaged as Socialism before iti came into power. Wantime econ- omic and industnial planning, with its centralized contrai, subsidizng, price-fixing and nationing were regarded as a ready-made Social- ist system which could be carried aver inta peacetime. In Canada the chie! argument o! the Social- ists was, "What we have done in time of war we can do in peace- time." Before the war the British La- bon Party favored outright Social- ism on the Russian plan, with the exception of State contraI of wag- es and the direction o! labor to which the labor unions were vig- orously opposed. Refenning to this the Labor M.P. says: "If the 'State was not to decide the allocation of capital, labor and matenials be- tween the vaniaus needs of indust- ny, by what agency was this allo- cation ta be decided? If British Socialism did not mean central- ized executive planning on the Russian model, what did it mean? He goes on ta say that it was not until Juiy, 1947, that "the Cabinet was compelled ta define its atti- tude," when Sir Stafford Crippsi m 1 m îarm ai 'Gosplan', "such as was i,..*.....*. advocated by the, Labor Party in e. the 'thirties.' It ail amounts to this: that the Labor Party-or, at least, the La- j4 bar Govennment-has discovered 1 by expenience and nesponsibiiity that thene is a wide diffenence be- *.à tween theony and practice. Thene mi ; are many indications that people -q of Bnitain are tined o! being con- tnoiled and nationed, and, as this e. fiot uwo u=.iiogai' Labon M.P. wans: "If the Bni- tish people ever had reason ta '5: suspect that contros and ratining FOR wene being etained for their awn X s ake, and not because goods are e BAKERY4 in short supply, they would ne- AN% pudiate the Government at thee. netelection."
