This bevy of bathing beauties, known as Dorothy Bruner‘s Water Ballet, will be one of the feature attractions on the program of the stage and tank show, to be held twice daily during the Canadian Netionail Sportsmen‘s Show in the Coliseum, Toronto, from Martch 18 to 26. The girls will perform in the largest portable tank used at amy sportsmen‘s show anywhere. The Canadian National Sportsâ€" men‘s Show is sponsored by the Toronto Anglers‘ and Hunters‘ Association in the interests of conservation. The appeal made by the Red Cross is for $5,000,000 which seems like a lot of money unless it is understood the numerous projects taken care of by this sum. It is felt that this amount is the very minimum that will be needed to properly fulfill obligations to which the Red Cross is pledged. Many thousands of wounded Canadian service men would have died but for the help administered by the Red Cross. The same is true in peacetime. Will you help the Red Cross help others? While this is a remote possibility, there are still the thousands who are injured every year to be considered. Many of these have mot the funds or are so located that hospital aid is not possible. It is in the remote regions of Canada that the Red Cross and the work they do is particularly appreciated. Here, but for the adâ€" ministration and care of the Red Cross, many people would die each year, because of the inaccessibility of the terrain they live in. The Red Cross through the expenditure of & great deal of money and effort have made it possible for those people living in the rough environment of the far north to have first aid and even hospitalization right in their own locality. : the good possibility that only through the availability of the Red Cross blood bank or some similar provision, will it be possible to save your life. .It is not always easy, to see why a person should make a contribution to some of these charity funds, but in the case of the Red Cross your contribution can hardly be classed as strictly charity. You are not immune from accident, and there is always The 1949 Red Cross drive to raise funds for the cart of their work, is now under way. Are you going to help? Possibly we are ypremature in our optimism regarding the fowering of present prices, but if articles like motor cars can be reduced in price, while the industry is still paying inflated prices for all their materials, then it stands to reason that other articles will be reduced also. It is more than likely that other motor car manufacturers such as Ford and Chrysler, will have to follow the lead set by General Motors and reduce their prices. The motor car industry is probably the most competitive of all industries, and for one concern to stay in the same sales bracket as the others, there must be comâ€" petitive prices. This is probably the first time since the war, and certainly since prices became inflated, that a large manufacturing firm has reduced wages and passed the savings on to the consumer. Ford Motor Car Company tried it prior to the introduction of their new models, but finally had to fall in line with other large motor car manufacturers and boost their prices. General Motors G.M. felt they had to reduce wages, and were able to do so because of the cost of living bonus they were paying. The saving, which amounts, to several million dollars annually, will be passed on to those who purchase cars manufactured by Both the price cut and reduction in pay are things that the C.LO. Union which supposedly represents the thousands of General Motors workers, cannot do anything about. The reason being of course, is that the union has for months been howling for a reduction in the price of cars to the consumers. Nothing, naturally was said about reducing wages of the employees, but to reduce prices, Probably the first real sign that prices may not stay at their present inflated peak, is the statement by General Motors that they are not only going to reduce the price of their cars to the consumer, but also reduce the pay of both their office and hourly employees. The probabilities are that if some of the motorists who were | involved in accidents on Kitchener streets, would sue the city for( repairs to their vehicles; there would be an immediate pickâ€"up in J the efficiency of the Kitchener Works Department. A good example of the difference in city management and their attitude towards their responsibilities was presented after the heavy snowfall on Saturday night of this week. By eight am. the main street in Waterloo was fully sanded and safe to drive on at a moderate speed. At 12 noon, the main street in Kitchener had still to receive its first coating of sand, and wrecked cars and jittery drivers were piling up all over the place. Admittedly some of the blame could be laid to the fact that drivers had had dry roads to travel on for a few days; but the main cause of the number of accidents was the lack of care taken by the Kitchener Works Deâ€" partment in living up to their part in the job of maintaining the city streets in a safe condition. Who Should Pay? Do you know that if a visitor was to slip and fak down the steps of your verandah and it was possible to prove that he did so because you had been too careless to shovel the snow or nail down a loose board; that he could sue you for the shirt off your back and probably get it? It‘s true. Your home, even though you do not own it, is considered to be your responsibility, and as such it is supposed to be free of all danger that is apt to trap the unwary or careless visitor $ While the average householder knows of and is willing to assume his responsibility, what does the city in which he lives, do to fylfll their responsibilities. h THE BEAN PRINTING & PUBLISHING CO.
