ed ® [3 v The THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE - Port Perry, Ontatlo, - THURSDAY, JUNE 10th, 1954 Tried Government Apparently it is not a good thing for a * government party to stay in power for a lorig period of time. It is probable that "we. would 'have profited by a change of government in the federal field and there is mounting evidence to show that the time has come for a change in the provincial ~~ field. A recent conference of the Eastern 'Ontario Planning and Development Asso- 'ciation at which the members of the re vincial cabinet replied to briefs regar future development seemed to disclose that they are tired old men lacking the enthus- iasm and the vigour to cope with present opportunity. a3 i : Their speeches indicated that they were quite gatisfied with the present state of" affairs and quite incapable of seeing why things should be changed, The Conserva- tive party has admittedly done in the past - a good job and it has gone far to straighten ~ out the mess left by the Hepburn admini- ' On Seeing Trees mon; perhaps, that's why we so seldom really see them. A And yet when we do stop to look at a tree we somehow get the feel- ing that each has its own unique person- ality. We think that it was this feeling of personality that inspired Joyce Kilmer's course, been done to death. . In our part of the country we find 'maples, elms, cedars, firs, oaks, dash, beech and many other kinds. . Each- family with its different characteristics creates for us our preferences and our prejudices. .. The maple is a friendly tree, a patriot tree which seems to speak to us of homely ~ virtues 'and. the unpretentious way of life . ._. that is until early fall when it under- goes a strange metamorphosis to take on a- gypsy like garb and sings out over--the countryside with all the rapture-of ex- quisite sound transmuted into exquisite little classic poem which has by now, of . - ~ sight. : , - The elegant; graceful elms--the green umbrellas of summer--are the really de- corative trees. They lend beauty to the Ro Trees in our part of the country are com- ¥ \J if , Yia-3 "- , -~ To BB . - Lx | pd ! 7 : ~~ * . $55 Ney - a 3 > "stration but the unfortunate truth is it ~ now believes that its job is done. - The policy with 'regard to municipalities, to education, and the general tax structure indicates that the party intends to sit in Ontario, strikes us as being ludicrously inept. ; Not all ministries show the same lack of vision , . for the Ontario Hydro has pursued a policy that is both forceful and 'far-sighted. Perhaps, the answer lies in the shake-up of the Ontario cabinet. Unless Mr. Frost's health improves greatly he will probaply "retire , , this would provide a real oppor- tunity to dispense with the services of those ministers who by reason of age or capacity are no longer able to think in terms of progressive development and im- provement, i : The fir trees are the sentinals, the watchers, and t | of expectancy as.one stands beneath their --~ branches, But it is with the oak that one gets the strongest impression of personality. 'This is the tree of character. Its branches do not flow out with the majesty of an elm, - nor has it the single-mindedness of the fir, nor yet the simple comfort of the maples.- It stands awkward but rugged, a tree of strife and conquest, a noble non- conformist. Somehow we get the feeling _ that. it has passed through weakness 'to ~ strength and therefore peal for what is human. Yes, the family of trees exhibit their dif- ferent characteristics . . , and each in: dividual tree of each family manages to - convey some personal message of its own. And when you look at trees with some de- , gree of intensity you begin to. interpret the message and find that the countryside is _populated with companions that can ~ communicate to us something of the earth down on the job 'and rest on its laurels.' This, at a time of unprecedented expansion Cc ere 'is always the feeling has a special ap- - home which they protect, from which we too have sprung. The diplomats at Geneva may think they have a problem on their hands and are often at a loss to find words to describe their predicament, but what about the problem of the farmer of Hutton, England who has an' addi- tion to his barnyard which was hatch- "ed by a hen, its father was a gander and its mother was a duck. With the neck and head of a duck and the body and beak of a goose what is it? A doose? a grake? a guck? We suggest a quackgoose. : * * LJ LJ] - % says that the members of the Upper .

There are few farms or even market gardens left on Montreal Island, once the most intensely cultivated tract in Quebec. There are few farms left along Queen Elizabeth 'Highway in Ontario and here again the production per acre was among the highest in all Canada, And the same is true of the amazingly rich lower Fraser Val. ley in British Columbia.' New hous- ing, factories, service stations, alr- fields and super highways are push- ing farming and commercial garden- ing farther and farther back and most of this new encroachment unfortun- ately, takes the choicest agricultural soil, because both farmer and builder have similar preferences. "Someday, warns The Financial Post, we are going to haye~tp think twice where we are going to Yun our new highways or establish -our farm-con- suming airfields, . A hundred years from now our great-grandchildren may look back upon us of this period as about as wasteful of natural re- sources as today we regard that of our pioneer great.grandfathers. --Uxbridge Times-Journal ---- LABOUR AND MANAGEMENT BOTH GUILTY -- CIn"our reading this week we were greatly impressed with the Jeading editorial in "The Labour Review", the official organ of The Canadian Fed- eration of Labour. The article, head- ed "Who Killed Cock Robin?" should be equally interesting to employers and employees for their thoughtful -} consideration, which follows: i Nothing is easier than to. accuse workers of pricing themselves out of jobs by their wage demands. It has become a popular trick of the trade among the amateur economists, both in the press and in politics. Their line is that wage boosts increase the cost of doing business; these enhanced costs raise the price of the goods of services that are sold; then, when the high prices make buyers shy, the out- put has to be curtailed and less labour is required; hence, fewer jobs. In this glib deduction there is some truth, but not the whole truth. -The part of the truth that is left out is quite important: the fact that work- ers don't decide their 'own terms of hire, all by themselves. It takes two parties to make a bargain,-and one party to a wage bargain always must he the fellow who undertakes to pay the wages. He is called the employer, and if he makes what seems to him a poor 'deal, consoling himself that he can pass the check to his customers, he cannot evade responsibility for the slackening of effective demand that ensues. A lot of the wage bargaining in-the last few years has been perfunctory and half-hearted. Employers have gone through the motions, resigned from the start to an increase in their labour costs and haggling only as to how much. From the viewpoint of each group of organized workers, this was -an excellent frame of mind for the employers to be in. The unions naturally took full advantage of the clear fact that they had to contend with merely token resistence, But for the workers in general, and for the community at large, the nearly auto- have been self-defeating. When every- hody gets a raise, nobody gets a ralse. The employers as well as the work- ers have played their full part in push- ing inflation. They knew, better than most workers could be expécted to know, that: they were pricing Cana- dian goods out of the export market, and upon export trade almost a third of our industrial activity. depends. when amateur economists attribute loss of employment to extortionate wage demands, they are looking at the situation with one eye closed. If nearly full employment is to'be maintained; self-restraint is as much needed in. the bidding of employers against one another for the limited of workers for good wages. . . £ ~-Canadian Statesman Clipped Comments ; | 'And that land, in-the great majority | | | two 'courses with the famous Wanda 'Paris. : % matic annual increases of wage rates] Thus we may fairly conclude that labour supply as it is in the bidding |..
