SE v (FATES EN FEE ae aty = THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE monn ® Notes and" Comments 3 World Food Agency © We await the United Nations committee action on 'the increased implementation of a world food bank. We know that we have seven and a half times the food we need in the Western world and that the rest of the world functions below~ subsistence level. Here in Port Perry we belong to a farm- ing community. Grain is marketed as a means of making a livelihood. Many peo- ple wonder, then, how we can give surplus grain away to needy nations without a commercial loss to our own people. Grain- farmers in the west feel that their markets have been: disrupted because the United States has disposed of its grain in certain areas of the world in a way that lowered our Canadian asking price. Where does our responsibility come in in such a matter? We know, at last, that for the sake of world safety the people of under privileged nations must be fed, and educated to a more liberal view of life as soon as' possible. We ourselves have to live in a profit-making society. Food-planning is the only possible an- swer. The F.0,A. begun under Lord John Boyd-Orr has done a remarkable research job in this field and has many practical suggestions to make about fair distribu- tion and use of the food at our disposal. They wish to use an international agency called: the World Food' Board' functioning under the U.N. It would buy, store and sell important" food commodities and set maximum and minimum prices. © It would help producers by buying a commodity when the world price fell. It would aid consumers by selling when the world price exceeded an established minimum. Storage costs would be taken care of by a revolving budget. The Attack on the United Nations The high hopes with which we faced the prospect of this session of the U.N have received a smashing blow from Mr. Krus- chev, It seems incredible to-us in western _ nations" world that he could 'personally attack a man of Dag Hammershold's obvious cap- acity for his particular work. He has called Dag "the cat's paw of the Western and ha$8 had the gecusation brushed aside at once by the very nations he hoped to impress -- the new African nations. * These new nations swing the Rh the U.N. now and they know it. We know it and Russia knows it. "Mr, Kruschev is _deeply determined to make his presence felt abroad in such a way that all will be fored to recognize his power. He is, at home, the head-of a great nation welded apparently, into one inflexible weapon, but is this actually so? "work that have found the weakness in the Are there forces at steel? 1s there a flaw that is showing up between Mr. K and China? Is there a flaw in the bureaucracy of Russia itself? The feet of the young: men may not be willing to turn into the fuftBw of harsh austerity that their parents followed. Class distinction in Russja do occur; even to the extent of foreign and colored stu- dents at the great universities in Russia complaining of indoctrination and discrim- ination, Mr. Krushchev may well need a holiday from home. He has had a taste of throwing his weight around abroad and may feel he can gain prestige at home by his barrage of accusations abroad. He may find 'instead that he is discredited for catering to Castro and disparaging and at- ~ tacking men like Dag and the integrity of the UN itself. A li 1 ng ican 5 0 es et by Mary Becker The annual fall sponsored by the Evening Guild, 'will take place this Saturday, October 1st, at the Scout Hall at 1.30 p.m. Mrs. W.

That evening Guide members will transport rummage to the Scout Hall, for sorting. All mem- bers who can are asked to come early on Saturday to assist with setting up for the sale, as it cannot be done ahead of time. \ There will _be a bake table and tea room, as is our usual custom. The Afternoon Guild will mect on Tuesday. October 4th, at the home of Mrs, Whitby; and the W.A. the fol- lowing Tuesday. Six ladies from this Parish attended the Deanery W.A. meeting yesterday at St. George's, at Pickering. We are happy to report that our Sunday School is now fully staffed. with Murs. J. Boothman, who will teach the 7-year-old group. Parents of our twelve-year-olds are reminded that the Rector customarily expects those who wish to be confirm- ed in the Spring to attend 75% of the classes given for them in the Church School * (Mrs. "Mumford's class) dur- ing which they learn their catechism. The Evening Guild met on Monday last _at the home of Mrs, Christie, with 15 members present. After the opening prayer, Mrs. Porter read the minutes of the last meeting and Miss Jarrett gave the treasurer's report. One new member, Miss Pat Clarke, was welcomed, i The piggy bank to collect spending 'money for Miss Muriel New, was pre- sented to the group. It was tho de- cided to start a new towel, to pre- sent whenever a member moves away, the last one having been given to Mrs. Collings. Rummage Sale, . becomes Clipped Comments NO PLACE FOR JUSTICE the taxpayers is a rare thing. Un- fortunately, even the offifial opinion that the Canadian taxpayer is being pushed around by unjust tax regula- tions does not mean that the law is likely to be reformed. Apparently government spending is now so great that every possible dollar must be ga- thered in, writes author C._J. Harris. The case that illustrates the point concerns a Mr, Peter Teresko of Re- gina, whose two daughters were born with a severe hearing impairment. On medical advice the two girls for some years have attended a school for the deaf. For the year 1957 the cost to Mr. Teresko for this speech therapy required by his daughters was $1,260, and he claimed this a. mount as a deduction on income tax. When the department disallowed the claim on grounds that payment was not made to a medical practitioner, dentist, nurse or hospital, the case was taken to the Income Tax Appeal Bd. in Ottawa. A ruling, dismissing the appeal with "extreme reluctance", has just come down, "This is a very unfortunate case | where the well-known rule that equity finds no place in income tax law again exemplified," said board member _R. S. W. Fordham-in- the judgment. "Deserving as the appel- lant's unhappy plight certainly ap- Sympathy in official quarters for within the Income Tax Act. In the authorities evidently have. the power --or 80 it would appear from déecu- mentary" evidence produced----to allow the deduction of expenses of the kind 'now under review, but in Canada in- come tax legislation: had not gone that far when this appeal 'arose. The legislation has still not gone that far. Nor is there, as there reas- onably could be, any provision for the taxing authorities to exercise compas- sion in those cases where it is obvi- ously merited. As the appeal board noted in this case, in Canadian in- come tax law there is no place for justice. A final point here is " while politicians flirt with the fdea of state medicine, on the grounds that an in- dividual faced with medical expenses need help in meeting such costs, they write tax laws that harm the indivi- dual who is faced with medical costs and pays his own way. --Canadian Statesman. 0.A.C.
