No one contends that Canada is altogethaer free from the. unrest that pervades the woxld but some poliint to a recent gallup poll to show that we have achieved a real measure of conâ€" fidence and unity. The poll showed that 61% of our voters do not want an election now and feel that the governâ€" ment should live out its term. A majority of theâ€"voters all in all parties concurred in this indication of some measure of satisfaction. 21% gave no opinion which perhaps indicates a lack of any major grievance. Only 18% wanted an election this year. Dealers in Disaster To what extent is our economic life threatened by those who continually forseee disaster? One of Canada‘s leading business men recently criticâ€" ized ~very sharply those who "glory in working themselvesinto a state of gloom and hysteria" and particularly advised business men to take a conâ€" struetive and progressive attitude. There is much intrest shown in discussions here on the report of the representative of one of our leading dailies on the political and economic situation in New Zealand. "It is not that material conditons are bad, alâ€" though the North Island is in the throws of an electric power famine. The trouble is really spiritual â€"â€" a kind of postâ€"war malaise which is getting worse." The general election was held in November, 1946 and no session of parliament has yet boeen called. Strikes are having a bad effect on the national morale and national pride. is ‘particularly hurt because of a strike of 200 ratings of the Royal New Zealand Navy. Fifth and not least important is Canada‘sâ€"position as Britain‘s Butener, Baker and Grocer. Britain has, for years, been _ our chief exteranal market for a wid_e variety of foods, ranging {rom wheat in bulk to prepared swebts, including meat and fi§h products. In the first full year of peace Canadians supplied 86% of Britain‘s foreign reâ€" quirements of wheat and flour, 73% of her external supply of bacon and ham, as well as 45% of the eggs and 26"% of the cheese which landed at British ports (figures supplied by the Departâ€" ment of Trade and Commerce). Our country is outlined as a land of industrial opportunity, a land of mary still undeveloped resources which can be developed, to offer more employâ€" ment and to produce more goods that will further improve our standard of living: Next, Canada is shown as a world trader â€" situated on the higshâ€" ways of the world‘s established trade channels â€" with easy access to the United States, to Britain and the Far East. As producers we will more and more require external markets for the surâ€" pluses we will always be able to proâ€" auce as farmers, fishermen, lumberâ€" men, miners and, in some lines, manâ€" ufacturers. ~The. reason for the interest show:n here in the International trade talks now going on at Geneva, Switzerland is well illustrated in the exhibit which the Canadian government has at the "British Industries Fair‘"‘ which openâ€" ed May 5 and will continue until May 16. The 5 point outline of Canada‘s position gives emphasis to the claim that 35¢ out of every Canadian dollar comes from external: trade and touchâ€" es all sections of cur people. Our Trade Interests Canadxans are portrayed first as imâ€" portant customers. _ Because of our climate and geography which limits the variety of our production ws will always be customers for a large numâ€" ber of items of quality goods at fair prices if we are to maintain our standâ€" ard of living.

I comre back to my question: Is there a national point of view? In making a decision does tae average man,. cr woman consider the effect of his corduct the‘*nation as a Writing of housing, isn‘t it surprising how little we know? How much has the cost of mousing risen since 19392 It we had the total we might get a breakâ€" down of the details. Suppose we ask a simple question. Hers is a house which could, in 1939, be built for 6,000, how much would have to be paid or the building of it today. Strange isn‘t it how, in those things in which we are so intensely interested, we know so little! V/ihnen I was a boy we belfeved .that th: ostrich when pursued, stuck its lwâ€"ad in the sand believing that beâ€" cause it could not see it could not be seen. We know better now, man is the only animal w.aich does that. Of course, like the others, I do not want to pay more rent, but I am quite certain that the continuence of the present system wiil prove costly and in the 1 shall pay dearly or a policy which discriminates against ont group while the earnings of others continue to rise. I was in Iowa, a few years ago, when the discussion on the issue was at its sharpest. A college professor had made an investigation of the subject and published a report suggesting aboliâ€" tion of restrictions. H2 could see no danger to the dairy industry ‘in this pregram. Tae farmers had him fired. A bright young chap with whom I disâ€" cussed the issue told me that the farmers sold taeir butter at good prices bought "oleo" for‘their own consumpâ€" tion. ‘"They wore," he said, "stoutly in in favor of protecting the butter inâ€" dustry rom Saturday night to Satâ€" urday ncon. On Saturday afternoon they bought itheir ."oleo" and taey wanted it at the lowest possible price." I am making a guess that 98 % of thoss who do nct own houses and. so must pay rent want the retention of rent control. Why? It means lower rents. They are not in the slightest interested in the landlord, to them he is Shyleck, tae villain in the piece. How are we going to have more houses if prices of all other products rise whil> rents are held down? Has anyâ€" body asked that question? If so, I have not heard the answer. Stme now are sugesting bonused housing. This means that they would rather pay rent to the government in taxes tAaan to thie homeâ€"builder in rent. That they must pay, in some form is self evident, The farmers, of course, are. not an exception to the general rule. Labor has precisely the same code. Labor wants controls on everything but wage rates. Only recentlyv one of the leaders came out with the statement that if prices were going up labor woull demand higher wage rates, a warning. to farmâ€" ers and others that labor would seek its cwn interests, notring else matâ€" tered. Yet common sens> should tell them that, in a prosperous agriculture R=the surest basis for full employment of labor. Take theâ€"case of olecmargarine, it has been und>r discussion in the last few weeks. The {farmers of Canada have been low tariff advocates as long as we have had farmers and tariffs. Yet, here they are in favor, nct only of tariffs on imports but prohibition of of the product which compites against them. The general interest is the basis of prosperity. Prosperous individuals canâ€" nct be numerous unless the national €conomy is on a sound basis. What do I mean by a national point of view? One which considers the €econocmy as a whole. Is there a national point of viewâ€" is it ever presented? â€" Love Canada First By R. J. Deachman NOMHEYWERE MEANT To BE SPINEAPPLES â€"SCRApE.

With the arrival of the Grade XIII May Exams next _ week extracurricular activties in T. H. V. Cadet Captain George Taylor, inâ€" structur of the Timmins Boys‘ Bugle Band tells us that the Band has begun practising their Ceremonia} and Marâ€" ches for the Iaispection. There are apâ€" proximately 25 Members in the Band. Mr. Alex Taylor and Mr. Hank Bislek are the adult instructors. Volleyball is the fad around the School lately. With three games lef to play G XIII and G XII C have three The Cadet Inspection is scheduled for Juxne 4th and as soon as the weather permits (again!) the Cadets will begin their Ceremonial practise on the School Campus. Here are a few of the promotions which were announced last, week: Caâ€" det Sergeants Edwin Day and Roy Dishlevoy to Cadet Licutenants. David rose, Bob Gavin, Peter Burke, Carlyle Dunbar, Branko Erdeljac, and Herb Schroeder to Cadet Sergeant. Cadet Captains George Harper (Caâ€" det C.O.) and William Gordon, (Cad2t Adjutant) supplied us with the fol!â€" lowing information on various Cadet activities. The interâ€"class Rifle Shootâ€" ing Competition wound up in sreat style last week. ~Each form exatered a team in the event and G XII B rankâ€" ed first. Members of this team inâ€" cluded: ‘George Harper (Capt.) Jack Tyrrell, Ken Jackson, Leonard Bosâ€" trom, and Bruce Helperin. Each member of this Team won a Silver Dollar and a Theatre Pass. G XII C and G XI A,B were tied for second place. The elimination "battle" ended with the former team in second place. Members on this team were: Bill Gorâ€" don (Capt.), George Taylor, Rudoiph Desaulniers, Bob Gavin, and Bob Armâ€" strong. The members of the above team won a Theatre pass each. The presentations were made by Mr. A. Hartman during the Senior Assembly. The highest aggregate scorer was George Harper, who had a total score of 59§ out of a possible 615. Recâ€" reational Shooting for the Senior forms is now in progress. Seems as next Fall we‘ll have quite a few ‘Big Game Hunters‘ in our midst! We have four types of students in this school, in regards toâ€" Student Government: the zealous, the interâ€" ested, the disinterested and the lazy, but I am sincerely pleased to state that the School has produced no axtiâ€" democrats. All. our ~opposition come from the right source â€" the elâ€" ected opposition. This is our Canadâ€" lan way of life. We are proud of it!" That®is the opinion oL the Studen: who was chosen by the entire Student Body of T. H. V. â€"to govern their activities. As ‘we write this colunin each week we try to remaix unpredâ€" judiced but as the "loyal" opposition we feel that we should state ‘our opâ€" inion. We are very sincere when we say that the P.M. has brought about a greater interest in Student Governâ€" ment that we have ever seen to date. Even though we have coâ€"operated with the P.M. practically all of the time we have had to criticize but Lhe critâ€" icisms have always brought an even greater coâ€"operation between the Parties than we had before. The Stuâ€" dents are awakening! â€"They are beâ€" ginning to realize that George is not going to do it all and that they must give a hand if they wish to have their aims accomplished. "The Student Parliament is an enâ€" deavour on the part of the Students of this school to acquaint themseives more fully with the process and apâ€" plicatiomn of Democratic Government. I wish I could say that we have been entirely successful in our enterprise but. unfortunately such is not the case. We have found that the maâ€" jority of students are apathetic toâ€" wards their school government. Of the balance there are a large numuaber who are interested to varying degrees but are unwilling to accept the reâ€" sponsibilities of office. Despite this fact we are not greatly discouraged. We have enough supporters to keep this Government alive and power{ul, and we feel that we have made great strides in our one year of officec. Finâ€" ance has been completely centralized allowing a just and equitable distribuâ€" tion of money to the various Student organizations. Parties and Dances have been infinitely better organized â€" to such an extent that we have realâ€" ized almost a quarter again as much money on them as was made last year with no difference in cost to the Stuâ€" dent. For the first time in at least the past six years we have had an acâ€" ive Welfare Committee to look after the Recreation of Students. Many of our dreams lie unfulfilled â€" notably the new gymnasiqm and a weekly canteen for Students; but these enâ€" deavours were beyond our sccpe a:nd all that was possible was done. will greatly decrease because, it is true, the Upper School leads the reâ€" mauinder of the school in practically all events. The last items on the 8tuâ€" dent‘s after four time table are now mainly, Volleyball/ the Field Day and perhaps a few softball games â€" when and if the weather begins to be weather. Before we began to be swamped with studies we thought that we should interview one or two of the Leaders in the School. The first person on our list was the Student Prime Minâ€" ister, Joh:n Kenneth Langdon, a Grade XIII student. We asked him what he thought the new Student Parliament kad accomplished or had not acccinâ€" plished. This is what he had to say: The boat house is almost completed.
