EDITORIAL a ---------- Such is the patriot's boast, where'er we roam, his first, best country ever, is at home.--Goldsmith. It STOP TINKERING | As always--the grumblers receive attention al- together out of proportion to their value as citizens. This is particularly true of a group of malcontents who want to change everything that points to our appreciative connection with Great Britain, The latest outburst has found expression in the law hurriedly passed at Ottawa changing "Domi- nion Day" to "Canada" Day. It is one thing to pass a law. It will be quite another, thing to find happy observance of thdt law. To most of us Dominion Day, (with its associations of the birth of Confederation) will always be Dominion Day, no matter what the law may call it. : These changes--the distinctive Canadian flag, instead of the Union Jack; and Canada Day in- stead of Dominion Day -- are not expression of the will of the people--but the hurried catering to groups whose changes are not calculated to strengthen the bonds of the Commonwealth of Nations, * * * * RATIONING None of us like to do without the things we would possess. Especially is this true of food. But world conditions are such that we cannot have everything we want--even in the matters of what we eat, drink, and wear. Some people are generous, and are easily in- fluenced to self-sacrifice when they learn of human suffering. Other people are "hard boiled" and become experts in securing more than their share of food and other good things of life. Rationing deals with these conditions in an im- partial manner. There is no danger of real want in the enforcement of rationing laws; but there is the machinery which can be used to make avail able for all a just share according to personal needs. The finest part of rationing is the honest effort to enforce the law; and to see that the price ceil- ings are maintained. Our own merchants have been conscientious in these matters, which is a matter for thankfulness by the people of the community, as it establishes a spirit of confidence in our business dealings, A few months of belt-tightening is a small price to pay for the good will of people who are now on wr Some very untidy practices have been noted on the front stréet in the matter of loose paper and other rubbish. It is bad practice to untie parcels, and leave the wrappings for the wind to scatter hither and yonder. Nor is it sufficient to sweep this refuse off the sidewalk and leave it loose in the gutter. It will require only a little more ef- fort to sweep it up in suitable heaps for the street cleaning department to cart away. The sidewalk in front of any premises will reflect the char- acter of the occupant of the premises, We shall never have secured the full beauty of Port Perry until the rule is accepted and estab- lished that the occupant of any building is re- sponsible for the tidiness of the sidewalk fronting that property. The street commission cannot do all thjs kind of work. : Some years ago the Lions Club offered to place waste containers at suitable points on the main street. Nothing ever came of the offer. To have proper containers made need not be a very ex- pensive matter, and should be a real help in main- taining a respectable looking town. While we are on the subject, it is timely to ask what has become of the street signs, that we understand are here, but have not been erected? One more question -- "When are we going to garbage collection for Port Perry? It is high time that this collection should be properly con- trolled. 'At present the dump is far too popular. Out of town folk seem to think that it is for the general convenience of everybody. It is surprising the number of miles people will draw their refuse to bring it to Port Perry. * & + 2» YOU COULDN'T RUN YOUR CAR ON ATOMIC ENERGY -- NOT YET, Atomic energy is not easily harnessed; nor can it-be produced on a small scale. Because it can be placed in a bomb that can destroy a city, does prove anything but its immense concentrated power. There can be no such thing as a small atomic energy plant. A plant that would deliver 100 h.p. would weigh at least fifty tons. If the radiations produced by atomic energy were un- controlled, they could be fatal. And the cost of production is great.

Mulligan, Port Perry, Ont, Dear Mr, Mulligan: A report has now been received from the Missing Research and En- quiry Service which advises that your son, Flying Officer George Harold Mulligan is buried at Cussy-les- Forges, which is located approximate- ly 5 miles East of Avallon, France. The report further states that your son's aircraft crashed at Presle, Yonne, which is about 2 Kilometres distance from Cussy. Witnesses of the crash state that no member of the crew baled out, The aircraft was flying low, attacked closely by fighters, as if sceking a place to land and evidently in distress. On landing it blew up and the entire crew lost their: lives at that time. The members of the crew were buried in a sigle plot on the left side of the cemetery (on entering) about half way down and next to the boundary wall. The cemetery is small. A large wood- en cross is at the head of the plot. Flying Officer George Mulligan was Buried in France. The following letter was received by Mr. H. H. Mulligan frem the R. C. A. I. Casualty Officer. _ It gives definite information of the death and burial of Flying Officer George Mulligan. . Rev. Father Harmel, a travelling priest, organized a memorial service in June, 19456. He was not present at the time of the crash, When the plot was visited by the Missing Research and Enquiry Service fresh flowers and other tributes were on the grave, Your son's air bomber brevet was cut from his uniform and has been for- warded to the Director of Estates for onward transmission to you, The reverent care of the burial places of all who served in the Forces of the British Empire is the task of the Imperial War Graves Commission. [Eminent architects are planning the construction of beautiful cemeteries and each individual grave will be sup- ported and sustained by the nations of the Empire. I hope that it may be of some consolation to you to know. that the grave of your gallant son is in sacred care and keeping, In conveying this information, may I express my sincere sympathy, Yours sincerely, W. M. WISMER, R.C.A.F. Casualty Ofiicer, for Chief of the Air Staff.

Have the members of Parliament no senge at all of the instinctive clinging to the old and traditional which is the essence of the common man's feelings about holidays? Do they suppose that people who have been calling the first day of July Dominion Day for almost eighty years are going to like having to call it Canada Day just because one hundred and twenty-three members of the Hoouse of Commons have told them to? Do they think that eleven million inhabitants of Canada are will- ing to hand over to Mr. Phileas Coté of Metapedia-Matane the right to rename all the cherished days of ob- servance that their ancestors estab- lished and they themselves have mark- ed from childhood up? What is it all about anyhow? 1s this a preliminary move towards abolishing the name "Dominions" for Canada and her sister nations in the British Commonwealth? If so, would it not be well to decide what title we are going to use before we start throw- ing the old one out? But who is it that objects to the title Dominion? And if it is going to be thrown over- board, is it precisely democratic to set about the job by sneaking in private bills to delete the official uses of the terms one by one? : "As we go to press the Senate, that invaluable piece of machinery for giv- ing the Commons a 'thance for second j thoughts, has a gorgeous opportunity to insist that this business shall not be rushed through by a snap vote, in total defiance of one of the most vital rules of Parliamentary procedure, that "only in the case of the most urgent emergency is a bill put through all three readings at one session," Frankly, we think it is time that the gentlemen at Ottawa were slapped down, and this looks like an awfully thing to slap them down about, PDP -- CARTWRIGHT COUNCIL'S $20,000 EXPENDITURE APPROVED FOR ROADS Council met on April 1st with the members all present and Reeve Nor- man Green presiding, Communica- tions from Dept. of Highways ap- proved of $20,000 expenditure on roads in 1946, Clerk was instructed to or- der 3 tons of calcium chloride.
