" ESR) 5 RT ay This year the Canadian government population of this country was just short of 12, million. The normal yearly increase over the past ten years has been estimated at about 200,000 therefore, we can expect that our present population is about 14 million, The Canadian Chamber of Commerce feels that we suffer from a lack of enough people, They feel that we are insufficent in numbers to safeguard our country and 80 for the purpose of adequate defence we should aim at 80 million by 1976, or more than twice our present population. Where are we to get the additional 11 = million over the normal increase? By im- . migration it is suggested. Certainly, Great Britain could spare us quite easily some 11 to 16 million people: But the people themselves are not so anxious to come to Canada.....the adavant- ages over what they have'in Great Britain seem not to exist for the Britisher al- though every Canadian realizes that every- body in Canada is much better off than the people of Great Britain who are social- jzed to the point of not even being able to pay for their own sickness. There is a move to bring out people froin: France. But although there are many people in France who have no hesitation about. leaving their native country--con- ditions in France are even worse than in Great Britain.... but the thought of coming to backward Quebec is just more than "they can take, French Canadians and the French haven't much in common. Some- "times it is even claimed that they don't ~~ There are many causes which have brought about the present spiralling in- flation. One of the main causes has been the insistent demand by labour that it be paid more and more for less and less work. This demand arises out of two conditions. The first of which the discovery during the past war that there was money to be had in the form of wages even for poor work or no werk at all, As long as you put. in a ~ certain number of hours regardless of the quality or quanity of production, the work- er expected a full pay. And in truth, it served the employer just as well for he was. paid on the basis of cost plus and idling and poor production became merely an added cost. After the war it was im- - possible to-go, back to the old principle of pay by production--labour had learned its power and it demanded two things--short- .er hours and larger pay.... in the meantime, with the removal of controls....management didn't make any demands but simply pro- ceeded to raise prices as quickly and as high as the traffic would bear. _ How could we get more money for less and less work and at the same time exact higher and higher profits on every con- ceivable product from food to ear-rings? There was one way. bik The way was the. way of devaluation. More and more dollars for less and less.... more and more profit for less and less.... and so the last four years became a sort of economic merry-go-round-- in which prices outran wages and profits outran decency... and what have we achieved? A precarious prosperity in which we try to - maintain some reasonable relation between speak the same Jangauge. costs--wages and profits, REPORT OF SCOUT TROOP MEETING WED., APRIL 4, 1951 The meeting opened with fifteen Scouts and three Scouters in the Horseshoe for flag-break. : All were reminded of the Scout pa- per drive on Saturday, April 21st; and the Troop bean-feast on Friday, May 4th, when the Beaver Patrol, 'winners of the inter-patrol compe- titions, will be guests of honour of the remainder of the troop.

Addresses Vimy Banquet Port Perry Legion held a well at- tended banquet to commemorate the battle of Vimy in the Del's banquet hall on Tues. April 10th, There was a good turn out and all who were able to be there enjoyed a delicious meal and timely address. Mr. Ted Jackson introduced the speaker although he thotight all pre- sent were well acquainted with Dr. Dymond. RE The Doctor based his address on the theme "Was the battle of Vimy a loss even though we were victorious" --Ilikewise many other battles of note. Saying the world had been at war (with intervals for resting and re grouping) for nearly a Century. While many times we had emerged victorious, and as yet were unable to say war was ended. We of this country have many things to be thankful for--our right of free thinking, free press and free enterprise, - In this respect the battle of Vimy as well as the many other battles ] have definately been victorious. For in many other parts of the world such rights are denied with the death pen- | alty., It was his own opinion, after see- ing just what effect The League of Nations and others had accomplished as to 'abolishing war, that the best weapon to use against war was a Nations preparedness to resist agres- sion and its willingness to stand for the rights of freedom. ' Organizations such as the Cana- dian Legion with their efficient train- ing was the nucleus to a nations abil- ity to become quickly prepared to meet'an attack. It was with assurance that he said the Government of this country had only to ask and the Le- gions' personel would respond. Mr. Wm, Beare voiced the thanks of the members for Dr. Dymond's timely address.
