In principle, the Chamber believes that any addition- al welfare expenditures should be de- layed until the full impact of ‘preSent commitments can be asseSSed. Indivi- duals should be encouraged to make ev- cry effort to provide f0} their own fu- ture, and protect themselves against or- dinary hazards.” e The Chamber statement also point- ed to the need, for gradual tax reduction which could only be achieved if govern- ?ment spending were contained.

Alitold, over 40 pol- icy declarations and resolutions were laid before thegovernmentlby the‘Can- adian Chamber delegation as'repre'sent- ing the majOrity views of oVer 750 Boards of Trade and Chambers of Com- merce with an underlying membership of some 125,000 businessmen across Canada. - Speaking about the wage price spir- al as a cause of inflation, Mr. Ashforth referred to Chamber policy on the need for productive efficiency. Greater pro- ductivity in turn is dependent upon many factors, among which aresufi‘ic- ient capital to supply technicological improvements, interested and capable employees, and efficient managerial or- ganization and methods, said the policy statement in part. Mr. Ashforth added, “While there has, been an increase in the general living standard since the war, it must be, recognized that any- thing which results in higher costs without improving productivity contrib- utes to that depreciationof the curren- cy which 'we now' call inflation. 'Since 1949, the cost of living has increased by 26% Which means that in efi‘ect’the‘ purchasing power of the dollar has ide- clined to that extent. Hidden in the cost of living are vastly increased lab- our costs and an ever upward Spiralling of government expenditures resulting in higher and higher taxes. To a greater extent now than ever before, we flndit difficult to meet competition from sup. pliers of goods and services from abroad, not only in our export trade but in our own domestic market” ‘ ination of the entire income tax struc- ture in Canada because personal and corporate income tax rates are too high for a_ dev_el_oping country. "But no matter how safe and £001- proof you make a. car," Mr; Haeusler concluded, ,“it is up to you, the driver, and perhaps ‘the other fellow’, to make them really effective."

Two and a half times more peeple are hurt, who were not vygaring safety belts. (5) Test your turn signal lights, too.

But most important are the turn signal lights, the rear as Well as the front. ‘You may think you are warning the man behind you â€"- but the light maybe burned out and h‘e‘conld crash jnto you. can do this without getting out of your car, if you park facing a wall.

But the humble and penitent who faces God without excuse or self justification will find His ha: ‘s full with blessing. To this person God will become real. His love will not be fiction but fact. His forgiveness will not mean “mere hope so”,_ but reality. The story of the Fall is an ac- count of what happens-to you, and me. But it is also the story of what God is like. He seeks 'after us as we are. We must face Him as we are. This alone can bring us the knowledge of His infinite The proud and the self right- eous can never face this God of mercy and judgment. Instead they create a God in their ‘own image - one who willrpat them gently on the shoulder and say “never mind, you’re alright." Thus the proud and self righteous can never know God as He really is. They must be content with thei, idol who actually can do nothing for _thexn: _ . Hue; But God, the searching God comes after us. He calls out to us as He did to our first parents, "Adam Where Art Thou". It is a personal call directed to each man individually. We cannot come to God hiding behind some- one else. We must face God in the loneliness of our individual personality. If We do, we find that God, instead of judging us with endless separation from Himself, extends a hand in mercy and forgiveness. He comes to restore and to make whole. He comes to seek and to save that which is ‘lost. He comes ‘to raise the burdened soul and to give him a right relationship. with 'Now temptation is absolutely essential to human life. God did not create robots, but creatures with power of choice. , This God given freedom man has misused. Instead of deciding for God, we have decided for sin and self. We have tasted of the forbidden fruit and in so doing our eyes have been opened. We see our moral and spiritual nakedness. We are ‘ guilty before God. In a vain at- tempt to hide from God we cover ourselves with various kinds of fig leaf aprons. We hide from God under the cloakvof personal‘ righteousness, piety ' and belief. Some of us hide from God: even in the Church. We attempt to pro- tect ourselves from God's search- ing judgment by pointing to our good works, our benevolent deeds, our patronage of all that is true and worthy. We try to cover up. Thus we force out guilty con- sciences to claim innocence when we should confess sin. This is the‘ reason for the inner turmoil of oui‘hearts and minds. We cannot be at peace. We dare not be alone. 7 ‘ _ There is a great need today'for people in all walks of life to face up to some of the serious aspects of the Christian faith. For too long we have been content to think of Christianity as A kind of aspirin .pill designed to help us escape the tensions and struggles of this unpleasant world which we see all around us. This is one of the reasons why we find the story of the Fall of Man recorded for us in Genesis chapter 3. it is not my concern to argue whether-the story of man‘s fall actually took place as it is recorded in Genesis, or whether it is a theological account of a great reality. The important thing for us to grasp is that Is the story, not merely of someone who lived in prehistoric times. This is the story of every man. This is What happensto all of us when confronted by temptation and sin. We succumb and have succumbed. We listen to the deceptive whis- pers ofthe Evil One. We permit our minds to dwell upon‘ the temptation which faces us, and we give in. '_ ' But if we are to have more than a superficial faith we must come to grips‘ with basic Christian truth. One of the truths we must face honestly is the meaning and nature of human sin. It is the contention of the Bible that no one really finds God until he take seriously the sin which sep- arate: him from God. A Weekly Comment On \ Christian Life And Action â€" By Calvin 11.

At the time of the latest addition it was almost doubled in size and a teachers’ dining room was added '(I ,hope a‘ soundproof section). Some time ago the inspector was critical of the candlepower that came from the lights far above set near the ceiling of what used to be a gymnasium, but that was temporarily remedied by low- ering the bulbs and removing the shades'to increase the candlepower until the alterations o'ver, beautiful tube lights were installed, so presumably this hush-hush area ‘of the school looks quite preSentahle by any standard. For those of you who do not have high school aged children, may I mention at this point that the lunch hour is divided into two peribds, each lasting 45 min- utes (Not long enough to my parental mind for a num- ber of reasons, but that is not what we’re tripping “thorough brush, thorough briar” today for). The first lunch hour runs from 11:50 to 12:35,. and the second from 12:30 to 1:15. There seems to be considerable difference of opinion between boys and girls, and also between first and second sitting students . . . naming no names . . . about what they do have for their. lunch.

"Harmful" (I) “Do a great deal of harm”. Those words were used about my’ potential cafeteria “disclos- ures” by two people of authority in the school. (I shall name no names, that might indeed be harmful). But to me the lunches served at the high school were of inter- est because five hundred of our children, my own in- cluded, are eating their noon-day meal there. five days a week for four or five years. I felt that the parents of this changing population of youngsters might conceiv- ably be interested in the operation of a big undertaking such as the catering firm is running. Today I had planned to be sitting among the clangs, bangs and vigorous shouting and laughter of two hun- dred and fifty teen-agers as they raced through their cafeteria lunches in the high school lunch room. How- ever my fun was not to be, for it was felt that if I wrote about the school cafeteria it “might be harmful” 7 ? Septic Tanks Pumped @361!”ng «'5‘ . m‘s all. AND .
