Both the Conservatives and the C.C.I'. have shown by recent speeches in parliament that they feel the time has come when such a plan is long overdue. The C.C.F. has al- ways favoured a national health program as an integral part of their planned econ- omy. The Conservatives have only re- cently taken up the ery in its favour. Progress, readily see. The danger COMMENTS IN DOLLARS THERE IS LITTLE SENSE We are beginning to doubt that any par- ticular system whether it De capitalism socialism or communism guarantees human What we are beginning to see and to be sure of is that as civilization con- tinues we add to the great wealth of human knowledge and we increase our power. But - knowledge and power do not make. tor pro- gress in the affairs of man ' . as we All too often such knowledge and power is used to enslave man rather than to free him . ' rather than to elevate it, . to degrade humanity we face today is from this very increase of knowledge and power for The recent victories in the by-elections have stirred hopes that the Conservatives may once more come to life and 'they are beginning to think in terms of a platform that will offer something to the whole country. Since the Liberals, although the first to propose the scheme, have done nothing further it gives the Conservatives a chance to make political hay of the sit- uation. If the Liberals take it up once more they will be accused of bribing the of developing science, Average Man tunities. voters and the opposition will claim that when they were in office they did nothing to bring in legislation regarding it but the thought there was "some moment they danger of Leing thrown out the scheme, - National health service would he a splen- did thing for this country as it has been for Great Britain . . even the admit that . . but the type of national _ health insurance to be introduced needs some real thought.

And this English politician, Mr. Reach Council - As the Township Clerk didwot re- ceive any enders for assessor a spec- ial meeting was called on May 21st, Mr. Alan Jackson was interviewed and agreed to assess the Township at $1000.00 per year and Clerk was in- structed to prepare a By-Law for the same. Mrs. W. I. Crosier was appoint- "ed Relief Officer, her duties to com- "mence on June 1st, 19562 at a salary of $50.00 per month. At the regular meeting held on 2nd of June all members were present. A By-Law was psd to license all dogs in the township any the assessor ap- pointed to sell-the license when assess- ing and collect the license fees. The fees for 1952 are, Dog or spayed bitch, "$2.00; more than one dog or spayed bitch $4.00; biteh, $10.00; more than one, bitch $25.00. ~ Mr. Wilson presented the relief ac- count for May which was discussed and ordered paid amount of $2¢7.84. Hospitalization to the- amount of $126.80 was paid. The Hospital account --of Wilhelmina Jagers was held over for further investigation. Supt.

Prince Albert | When is it that an Anniversary Service may be deemed a distinct suc- cess? Sometimes, perhaps, we are inclined to judge it from the stand- point of the. number of people pre- sent, or the financial objective achieved, or not achieved, But sure- ly this cannot be the true criterion, Did each one of us who was there pro- fit spiritually, having been present? Were we stirred and challenged to go on to greater achievement? The answer in each case to the lat- ter two questions relative to our Sun- day School Anniversary service must "GALA NIGHT" FRIDAY, JUNE 13th at the Memorial Gardens | ' be "yes". Dr. Hunnisett, in his uni- in God. then the duets by Dr, Hunnisett and him were an inspiration. singing of the Junior Girls' Choir of Port Perry United Church, under the leadership of Mrs. E. Dobson, was helpful and conducive to a deeper spirit of worship. We were very pleased to have the folk from the neighbouring communi- ties with us. With their valued sup- port, there were only a few seats left vacant at the front of the auditorium. To date, our cash receipts are $84.76. We pledge ourselves to be good stewards of these offerings and shall use the gifts to assist in bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ more fully to the hearts of boys and girls and men and women, And so the Anniversary Service of the Sunday School is over for 1962. The teachers and officers must feel an even greater challenge to render noble service in the coming year. But they cannot do all. A great responsi- bility lies upon the parents. Dr. Hun- nisett said that when he was attend- ing Sunday School the parents brought their children. Do you not find it a squrce of joy to see the father and the mother and the children, all together, going to Sunday School? Surely God's blessing must rest upon them. Now we are planning for, and look- ing forward to, a fine service in 1963, with Professor Kingsley Joblin, of Emmanuel College, Toronto, as the guest preacher. . Won't you plan to attend? , It is our hope that either on June 22 or June 29 we shall have the! slides depicting the work being carried on at the Fred Victor Mission. Every- 'one is cordially invited to attend to gee something of the great work which is being carried on at the Mission. A definite announcement will be made 'as to when we shall have the slides. Next Sunday, June 16, the church and Sunday School Services are with- drawn because of the Decoration Day Service at, 2.30 p.m. Services will be held as usual on June 22 and 29 at 10.00 a.m, and 11.00 a.m. respectively.

The family was awakened hy Ivan Parkinson and Jim Heayn who were returning home from the north and who saw the fire from the Greenbank hill and raced to locate it. The build- ing was already doomed, but prompt action of the Port Perry Fire Depart- ment saved a large barn standing a short distance from the burning small- er building. A 12,000 gallon reservoir of water on the farm was immediately put into. use by the fire department's new portable pump, This portable pump in operation released the fire truck to return to town for more water as an added precaution against a later flare up which could have occurred. The building partly covered by in- surance will be rebuilt immediately. a - ---- ---- .W.M.S.

Demonstration Field Day In 1949 the Ontario Department of Agriculture in co-operation with the Ontario Beef Pasture Improvement Committee took over five beef past- ture farms in the Province of Ontario. These farms are located in the Coun- ties of Bruce, Middlesex, Kent, Vic- toria, and Lanark. All these farms had one thing in common they were not pasturing as many cattle as they should considering the fact that they all-had reasonably good soil and were fairly well drained. These farms were taken over to demonstrate that pasture land in Ont- ario can be improved to carry a great many more cattle and that this im- provement can be done economically The Ontario Beef Pasture Improve- ment Committee was made respons. ibile for selecting these farms and for carrying out a number of experiments and demonstrations on thém. This Committee feels that, at the present time, sufficient interest and inform- ation has been accumulated to make it worthwhile for farmers interested in. improving their pastures to attend a field day to see the way in which the pasture has been improved and t hear outstanding men, 1 The Beef Pasturé Demonstration Farm. for this area is located in Vie- toria County about 10 miles north-east of Oakwood and 1 mile south of Hart- ley Village.

Skilled Labor Reserves (Ottawa Evening Journal) Meeting just recently in Ottawa re- presentatives from all parts of Can- ada including leaders in industry and organized labor, and provincial deputy ministers of labor, pondered with the Federal Department of Labor the pro- blem of shortages of highly-skilled workers. Labor Minister Gregg has said that the ultimate objective of this confer- lence is oto find ways and means of clearing away any hindrances which may exist in the way of improving Canada's position "in the matter of skilled-labor reserves. The growth of industry in Canada has outmarched the development of a skilled labor force. There are "unquestionably many technical factors which contribute to the shortage of skilled labor, things which we can assume the conference will discuss.
