Mosbor ot The Canadian 'Weekly Newspaper TR rama: Get TES Be THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE Thursday, May 1st, 1958 | Notes and Comments Activity on the Waterfront Activity along the waterfront reminds us that once more it is time to shake off the covers and start getting boats in con- dition for the coming season, ~ We notice that some people have adopted house-cleaning methods: and put them to use in cleaning the hulls and the inside of boats. A vacuum cleaner has many uses outside that of taking up household dirt. What a simple job it is to-take dust and fine fuzz out of the bilge when you have one of those suction: wonders, time to go at the boat with soap and water, Once it is thoroughly cleaned inside and out you're ready for sanding, painting, and varnishing. One of the best places to do this is in the family garage. It won't hurt the family chariot to rest outside in the Then' it's : fresh air of spring and a few May showers. . On the market now are some excellent varnish removers. They tell us that it is 'Million Dollars Every once in a while the thought crops : up that, perhaps, it would be nice to have a million dollars just for a change. Then something happens which seems to indi- cate that having a million dallars mightn't be a good thing after all . . . that is for most of us. Certainly if the million dollars meant that we would start to live in the manner of Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian. Now strangely enough this isn't the name of some mythical creature; as a matter of - fact, it is the real and legitimate name of an actual millionaire, an Armenian mys- tery man, who died in 1966 at the time when his income had reached the fantastic figure of £8000 a day! -- A book just published by his private secretary fills in the details of a strange and bizarre existence made possible by, or as a result of his possession of very great wealth. If we are-to believe these details and there seems little cause to doubt them, this man with his millions' was no human phil- anthropist. In point of fact he was in many respects a first class villain capable of treachery to friend-and foe alike. He & 4 very important to neutralize these before you go further with the surface work.

He was cruel and callous and mean in a way that few poor people are ever given to be mean, Of course, Gulbenkian doesn't have to be typical of all millionaires. It may well be that we would like to think so . ... it makes the business of sour grapes so much" easier to swallow. However, before we accept or achieve a million dollars it might be well for all of us to do a little soul searching and really try to form some ac- curate picture of the kind of person we might be if we suddenly found ourselves possessed of a million dollars, It is my humble opinion that such good fortune would be too great a'burden for most of us to wear nobly or with grace, Perhaps, Gulbenkian is more to be pittied than cen- sured. And in reading the account of his wretched life we might well say 'There but the grace of a million dollars, that I haven't got, might go I" And on that congratulatory note let it go at that.

We know there is hardly anything which we could not produce for our- selves if we did not mind what it cost. Most Canadians are quite ready to pay some extra cost to get home. produced goods. grows beyond a certain point, then we are heading into real trouble. The unhappy facts leave no pos- sible doubt that our cost structure is building up to the danger point. It is already a more serious problem than most of the political issues that Within the last year; the average outpug of each industrial worker has dropped by at least 3%. 'For a healthy economy we ought to he able to count on an annual increase of about 2%. Yet at the same time average 'wages have risen about 8%.

That fs why Canadians everywhere believe that this country's important steel industry would be acting in the public interest if -it" held the line on forward by the United Steelworkers' Unfon. Higher "wages - for steel workers will mean higher prices for automo- bilés... Higher wages for stéel work- ers will mean higher prices for all kinds of household appliances. = Higher wages for steel workers will increase the cost of transportation.

But if this extra |= ther shrinking in the purchasing power of every Canadian. Higher wages for steel workers could mean fewer jobs for Canadians, Steel workers' wages are already among the highest in Canada. Any further increase in costs because of excessive wage demands could only result in jeopardizing the future of the steel industry and its thousands of employees, and. the chances of re- covery from the recession. : Canadian Statesman. 0f Many Things By Ambrose Hills $5000 A YEAR The average worker at the steel company in Hamilton makes about $5000 a year. Wage rates now run at about $2.66 per hour workéd. This is much more than workers in-other manufacturing planta get; and I'd guess that many farmers and store- keepers--even though they've big in- vestments in land or property-- with a cash profit that high. So it would seem that the appeal now being made by the steel company to the union to hold the line on wage demands this year would win the sympathy of most abservers. It Is to be hoped that unfon gives the ap- peal plenty of consideration. This is not a good year to [make big demands. 'The union at Hamilton has asked the steel company for hig- gor wage increases than ever; but. it is "hoped theyll reconsider in "the light of the present unstable situation in our economy---and in other coun- tries, sor : . * Customers of the steel company al- ready have trouble paying for high- priced steel. Some of them are oper- ating at only 60% of capacity. Other cotintrles won't pay our high prices for steel. "They can get it cheaper elsewhere. : True, workers at the steel com- pany want more money, and 'that Is human enough. No.one can be told that his wage is fixed and can go no higher.

Some plants will close down. Unemployment will increase. On the other hand, if they accept, they'll give a boost to business, and they'll win the approval of consum- ers everywhere -- consumers whose patience with union demands has been wearing thin lately. Unions, as a matter of fact, have reached the stage where they are bound to act with a great deal more caution and responsibility or they are going to lose the loyalty of the rank-and-file worker. Some unions have already lost quite a bit of that loyalty. losing it. If the process is not halt- union movement are slated for a ra- pid downward skid.

Mr. Spence is the Secretary of the National Association of A.0.T.8. (As One That Serves), and in his mess- age, he told us of some of the work that his department takes care of. A.0.T.S. is an organization for men. There are classes and lectures for the purpose of training stewards and el- ders. Mr. Spence delighted the chil- dren with his story of the five nickels. How five children placed five nickels "each nickels' true value was. The "cause "Dad" had given it for the child to give and it meant nothing to him. The second nickel was describ- ed as copper. The giver would just Las soon kept it for himself. The third nickel was considered a nickel, but was given just because everyone else was giving. The fourth, gave because it was his duty, but the fifth nickel was golden hecause it was | given in love, the child had worked to earn it, and wanted to give to God. Later in his message, Mr. Spence used the nickels again to illustrate that we are all the same in appear- ance, but it's what use we put our lives to, that really counts. .' ' At Prospect, the men alio took charge, and even had a men's choir. Mr. Dearborn - told the children's story, and Les Smith, Mr. Cochran and Byron Holtby assisted with the service. . "At Manchester church, Mr. Bill McCartney .and Mr, Clint Midgely took charge and we were delighted to have three little girls, Gail, Judy and Reta Bath of Ashburn sing several numbers for us. .

Joblin just' a few more minutes to speak to us, and we must add the extra time to the beginning of our service, We would like to thank all the men who helped put out the grass fire that threatened the church and pav- gsonage last week. The extra high winds carried the fire very close to the back of the parsonage, and would have been out of control if Mr. Len Hance, and Mr. John Beckett hadn't come along at the right time. Happy birthday wishes go to Mil- dred Martyn, Debbie Dyke, Margaret Dearborn and Helen Innis this week. 4H Clubs bis SI Organized PORT PERRY The Port Perry 4-H Dairy Calf, the Port Perry 4-H Swine and the Port Perry 4-H Lions' Grain Clubs were organized at a joint meeting in the Port Perry High School, on Fri- day evening, April 18th, H.

TRUE SPIRIT OF GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP ; Keen rivalry tempered with true sportsmanship was manifested at the Bobcaygeon hockey ice palace Satur- y night, Jarvis, from Western Ontario, won the Senior B, O.R.H.A. championship by defeating Woodville Maroons. At the end of the game the boys from Woadville were invited by the lady followers of the' Jarvis team to share in a delightful repast, which the visitors brought all the way from Jarvis. This fine gesture was greatly appreciated and shows the level on which the rural hockeyists carry on.

Meeling Brooklin United Church Apr. 24, 1958 Mrs, Clayton H. Searle, Executive Officer of the Dominion Council Wo- man's Association, was the guest speaker during the afternoon. session of the annual meeting of the Oshawa Presbytery W.A. held in Brooklin United Church recently. Mrs, Searle said she had been asked to talk on the Unification of Women's Work with- in the Church., For this most import- ant thing that women have been faced with she chose the title "The Work- ing of His Power in us Through High Fidelity". Hi-Fi is the method used to transmit tones with a minimum of friction. The women of the church must transmit the Spirit of Jesus In- to daily living the same way--with a minimum of friction. They must study the entire work of the women of the Church and have an under- standing of the whole situation before coming to any decisions regarding the change. Mrs. Searle sald she was pleasant- ly surprised to find that the Devo- tional conducted by two menibers of the Northminster United Church ear- lier in the afternoon had been so in keeping with the subject about which she was talking. Mrs. George Jewell and Mrs. R. B. Galbraith had chosen "My Responsibility as a Christian" as the theme of the Devotional, in three papts--My Responsibility to God, to my Fellow Men and to Myself, During the morning about two hun- dred heard the recording secretary, Mrs. J.
