"Anyone ,,who is Yiediited can look up the. history of the trade unions in the En- He will discover that they came into being through a long hard struggle; that for hundreds of years workers were forbidden to organize in any way. The unions, when they did exist became secret and illegal bodies. After the first world war they gained greatly in prestige and authority. They have gradually changed from loose alli- ances to tightly knit powerfal negotiating bodies. At one time the employers could destroy the opportunities for advancement of any young man associated with these bodies for the rest of his life. Gradually the pendulum has swung the other way. To- day we have big_union bosses as essential~ ly out of touch with their own rank and file and with the employers legitimate stand as any former industrial prince ever was with his employees. Leaders in the unions too often-do not truly represent the worket; They : are > actually bosses and On the wont done th of May the South African Battalion of the Imperial Light Horse marched through Johannesburg carrying the Queen's colours for the last time. © South Africa is now a republic founded in desperation by the Boers who hope to save their narrow and rigid cul- ture... This rigid -provincialism lost them the Boer War and now leads : $herm up a --blind -alley-to-suicide. = "The British in South Africa were intim- idated by the Africanners because they were too comfortable to make effective individual and collective protests which might damage their commercial profits or deprive them of cheap domestic servants. Now they are beginning to feel the pinch "and belatedly are swinging over to support the liberal party rather than the wishy- washy compromise party. - It is probably too late as the Africanners do not really believe in a working opposition in Parlia- ment and seem to show no hesitation in . using unbridled police-state methods against any effective opposing group. on the consent of the governed. Lo public relations. men in a highly specialized job. © They have their own empires and hierarchies. - Many workers not in sym- pathy with the labour or left-wing polities generally find themselves in a very uneasy position in regard to them. Perhaps the time has come to realize that much of the work done by the unions in the past could now be done in committee. The scientific method of procedure adopted by the scientists themselves in pooling knowledge and resources at world confer- ences or even at basic levels of operation in the research departments of laborator- ies can teach us a great deal about success- ful synthesis. After all the problems of labour and management boil down to the same sort of problem we face in many other aspects of life. We no longer need to keep wav- ing the big stick of our ancestors. We have learned to bludgeon people in very refined ways but it is still bludgeoning. What we need is a chance to get on with the job of working out the best possible relations between two very essential sides of our nations business- procedures. Aspects of the New Republic of South Africa It is per haps just, that the Africanners should be destroyed in the coming holo- caust but it is a tragedy that the {iberal English were unable, because unwilling to make sacrifices necessary to" weld the races of the so-called union into a real union." The final authority for law must rest In the Republic there is no voice for the coloured and there is no consent. Not only will the whites of South Africa be held to a terrible accounting so also will be the white peoples of the world. " Ignoring this aspect of the New Be congratulatory telegram to the ak created Republic. The "message in its careful wording omitted a reference to this evil angle of the new administration. Canadians cannot support the principles that have motivated the creation of -this new state. The telegram was only a ges- ture but even as such was a mistake. On. Monday evening we held the District Churches Scugog. Manchester and Prospect Fielding. closing exercises for our Cubs in the Basement of Scugog "Grace" Church. We had planned a ball game, but the rain made that impossible. Most of the Cubs were present, and we also had a number of the Scouts. We had our local area Commissioner Mr. Stan- ley Ploughman with us, and he ini- tiated three of our new Leaders, June Crozier, George Freeman and Frank Barry Prentice won his Two Star Badge, Cycle Badge & Pro- ficiency Badge. The following boys also won 'their Proficiency Badges: Clare Fralick, Garry Manns, Cole Humphrey, and Clare also won his Toy Badge. It was a lovely evening spent, and the Mothers were most generous with pop and weiners and buns. Ar- rangements were made for our Scout Parade on" Sunday. The following boys will act as Flag Bearers: Beverly Vernon, Billy Holtby, Bobby DeHart, and one of the Guides. We do invite all the parents to be with us at the Service at Scugog "Grace" Church at 11.16 a.m. This is our yearly Service, _and we are looking for a full attend- 'ance of all our Scouts, Cubs, Guides and Brownies. < FD There will be special Services at Scugog- and Manchester. on Sunday, July 2nd, when the Sacrament of The Lord's- Supper will be administered, and new members received into the Church. We have had a lovely group of eight girls attending the Commu- nicants Class on the Island. The Min- ister will be meeting with them on Wednesday, which will be the last meeting. ~The Summer-is slipping by so very quickly already. This Saturday one of our Island boys Alan DeHart will be married, and immediately after,' there will be another wedding in the' Manchester Church, when Carol Mid- gley will be taking her wedding vows. It is always a pleasure and privilege for the Minister to take part in thx social activities after the wedding, but it just happens that this Saturday the Minister had planned for a re- union of all the members of his fa- mily--Forty years have gone by since they came to Canada. We are very grateful to the Ladies of our Church for helping. with .the celebrations, as they are catering for-the supper. So for one 'and all; we hope that Satur- day will be a lovely day, and that the sun will shine bright and warm. Our congratualtions - and best wishes go out to Carol and also to Alan, and we pray that all our young married people will find peace and joy in the fellowship of each other, and in har- mony with our Lord Jesus Christ, And our congratulations go out to the Clare Vernons of Prospect in the birth of a dear little girl. -Our sympathy and love go out to Alton Mark and to his anxious family. We are all in the hands of God and wonderful things are being accomplished today. How we need more faith and trust in God!
