'Lhe folowing is a resume of a dis- cussion on tree enterprise held by a group of student veterans, all of whom served four or five years over- seas. It is written for those who com- plan that the veteran is a socialist or, at least, has a leaning in that direc- ton. \ 'I'he veteran, im his belief in indi- vidual freedom, the belief in the right to lead his own life without in- terference within the bounds of law accepted military regimentation and served "without complaint for five years of hell Now he is back. Does he complain? Does he ask for anything more than he had when he left? All he asks is that he be allowed to take up where he left off, to continue his studies, to have a job with fair wages and to be allowed to live without interference as he strives to get a home and a few of the luxuries that you have. He doesn't want them handed to him on a silver platter, he knows that he can get them through work and he knows that they are worth working for, the same as his freedom was worth fight- ing for. That is his belief in free en- terprise. The veteran is starting out now fel tN ERPRISE K. J. Gratrix, Universify of Toronto. -t Had it not been for the war he would have had his home and a few luxuries. He is dead serious in this business of making a living and believes in a fair prouit for capital but he also believes opportunities whereby he can have whe way of life he fought for. Lhe veteran believes in Iree enter- prise because basically it is what he tought for but should he find that it does not fulfill .his needs, that he cannot obtain a home and a few luxuries, that he is not receiving a wage in comparison with' what he produces a slave to his job while capital makes enormous profits then, undoubtedly, he will turn to a new philosophy. When you feel that the veteran has a leaning toward socialism just re- member that it is in your power to mould his thoughts along your way of life by providing the opportunities whereby he can maintain the standard of living he fought for. If, the vet- eran goes socialist you will have only yourself to blame. Years out of his life and the lives of his friends went into the preservation of your way of life and all that he asks of you is op- with five or six years to make up for. labours, An appeal for a better financial deal for the lowly but very, important rural mail carrier appeared recently in the Cobourg Sentenel-Star. Our esteemed contemporary ob- serves that various governments have been guilty of the most questionable form of employing labour, of accept- ing the lowest tenders for mail courier work. The Senten¢l-Star says further: : ' "Last year as a result of a low teiider being accepted in Cobourg, a very faithful servant of the public was lost, a man who had served the community well as a carrier for His Majesty's Mail. We roundly condemn a system which does not uphold the right of a man to receive proper re- muneration for g service, The service rendered by a man who was willing -to renew his contract with the government "at a higher price than the lowest tender" was worth twice as much, in willingness to servé his fellow man, in kindness and thought- fulness; but the government's way was the lowest tender. Good people RURAL MAIL CARRIER of Cobourg and Northumberland should rise up in righteous anger against the prevailing system of hir- ing a mail courier at a paltry figure. The government does not save money by such procedure, and the people who are to receive mail in town and country suffer. In the winter time man does not get extra pittance for trying to break through the drifts to make regular rounds; to give proper service to the rural areas, he has to have a good team of horses available for blizzards and a car for fair weather. The fellows who get these not always have much incentive for serving the public; criticize them if such a low figure, but who is re- sponsible for the unhappy situation? =your government." Note--If the men who accept only the "lowest tender" had to plow through snow drifts, and go in all demand the highest tender for such | work, \ A pair of. light-hearted funsters, radio's Frank Shuster (left) and Johnny Wayne (right) are now in a new series of music-and-comedy program over CBC Trans-Canada network, Thurgday at 9.80 p.m. With the comedy team on the "Wayne and Shuster Show" will be actor Bernie Braden, announcer Herb May, Samuel Hergenhoren and his orchestra, songstress Georgia Dey, and Dick Nelson, often billed as "the man with a thousand volees," ~~ Pryce, songstress Belle McEwan, while Erie Vale, as the "old stager." wat it is up to capital to provide the| portunity and a fair return for his|. when the roads are blocked, the mail | mail jobs for the lowest tenders do|- you will for offering to do the job at] kinds of weather, they would likely| i -- -- AND GOOD TO KNOW! ~ Here is your bank manager.
