Net Paid Circulation Aver Per Issue TE 8,592 SEPTEMBER, 1948 TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1948 Little Savings Count During the war we learned that little savings, when made by millions of people, resulted in the aggregate in a combined effort of great magnitude, and produced worth while results in the winning of the war. The small financial contributions of millions of people to war loans financed Canada's war effort. Systematic collections of waste paper provided much of the raw material for munitions. Even the collection of milkweed pods by rural school children, in the total, made an important contribution to the war, since it helped to save the lives of airmen shot down at sea. So one should not scoff at small savings made by individuals in the common interest of all. Something of the same kind of situation exists today in connection with the shortage of power. How often it is said that one small light does not make much difference. But it does, if enough people cut down the number of lights they are using. Taking a province-wide view of the urgent .need for power savings, it is easy to visualize how many By HAROLY DINGMAN Ottawa Correspondent Ottawa, Oct. 5--Would George Drew fire the bureaucrats? Would he use the political axe against the so-called '"brain-trusters"? No, not likely; not in one swift head- chopping sweep, anyway. There are too many of them, for one reason; to fire them all would empty the principal administrative offices of the country, Of course, he might go at the job slowly if he found he wasn't getting along with the top men; clean them out in a year or so. Who are these bureaucrats that: he gets so mad at, with whom he is so outraged? Last Saturday, in the warmth of his election speech, was not the first time he had singled out the "economic lunatics", as he calls them. George Drew has campaigned on previous occasions against them. It is common talk around Ottawa --and the talk is met with amused smiles -- that Col. Drew's list of brain-trusters includes the follow- ing: Dr. W. C. Clark, Deputy Minister of Finance; and his three assistant deputy ministers, Ken Taylor (late of the prices board); R. B. Bryce (treasury board division) and A. K. Eaton (taxation division). Others include such big names as Graham Tower, Governor of the Bank of Canada; and Donald Gordon, Deputy Governor and late prices-czar. Louis Rasminsky, of the Bank of Canada is another and Alex Skelton, executive assistant to Hon. C. D. Howe, another.

But, as the old Scottish proverb says, "Mony mickles | mak' a muckle", so the individual savings of a few light | bulbs in each home can, in their aggregate effect, be of worth while effect in making more power available to keep | industries in operation. A Farmer Premier Probabilities are that when George A. Drew resigns | as Premier of Ontario, his place will be taken by Hon. | "Thomas Kennedy, the veteran Minister of Agriculture. | Such an appointment would be a fitting climax to a long | career in the public life of the Province, and would be | a tribute to the high regard in which Tom Kennedy is| held by his own party, and by the members of opposition parties as well. As Premier, Tom Kennedy would lack-the spectacular | qualities of his predecessor. He would not hold the Legis- lature spellbound with his flights of oratory. But he would win support for his ideas by his .plain,| straightforward. exposition of common sense ideas] of a practical character. It has been $x said that | Tom Kennedy really won the June provincial election for the Progressive-Conservative party, because it owed its return to power to the winning of all but five of the rural constituencies. The farmers evidently thought en- ough of the government's agricultural policies to wish to have them continued. Tom Kennedy, with the exception of the three years | from 1934 to 1937, has been in the Legislature continuous- ly since 1919. Only Harry Nixon, who has been a member constantly since 1919, can beat his record. Of that time, he has been Minister of Agriculture for nearly ten years, and has won the confidence of farmers of all shades of political affiliation. Of a genial and kindly disposition, the man suggested as Drew's successor is not the rip-roar- ing type of politician, but he has the faculty of getting things done because of his sincere belief in the value of co-operation and his practice of that attribute. He has the faculty of disarming the opposition by his sincerity and straightforward logic, and should be able to do useful work during the period that will elapse until a party convention chooses a new leader. Good News = It is good news for the housewives of Oshawa that the high prices which prevailed for fruits and vegetables, due to short supplies and a curtailment of imports from the United States, will not be repeated this conting winter. Not only is the Ontario crop of these commodities par- ticularly heavy, but it is intimated that when they are exhausted the restrictions on imports will be removed, thus ensuring ample supplies at reasonable prices. No more will the housewife find herself forced to pay over a dollar a pound for tomatoes or do without. The fact is that the fruit and vegetable growers are perfectly capable of producing sufficient supplies for domestic needs if they can be assured in advance that they are to have a decent price for what they produce, and that they will be given protection against premature im- ports of United States products. In 1946, for instance, tons of lettuce and early cabbage were plowed under in the Essex county vegetable district because the market price would not pay the cost of harvesting. This was one of the causes for short supplies last winter. Given a fair break in price, the growers will do their part in producing high quality vegetables that will sell at prices within the reach of everyone «= i= --- ctim htt atiin + been spt | th and the Bank of Canada who could be included. Fire them all? Not likely. And, as a matter of fact, Drew's victory speech it was clear that he had no intention of creat- ing a riot of uncertainty in the civil service. No leader would dare to. Every government is dependent on the permanent civil service. If Drew ever became Prime Min- ister he would, no doubt, lay down a new policy for the principal brain-trusters to follow. If they did not then he would get rid of them.* What Drew was saying Saturday | men have been | was what many saying in Ottawa for a long time-- that the present government's pol- icies were not set by the cabinet, but by the permanent chief execu- tives. LR TE MUST GET ELECTED FIRST-- Before George does any firing and hiring he has to get elected. How | do you elect a Conservative govern- ment in this late day and age? Drew's Ontario Government is the only government in the world with the title "Conservative." There's only one way George Drew can win, and he knows it. He has to get out the people who don't normally bother to vote; the people who stay home. It will be a test for Drew if he can do it. First he's got to organize his own party; then organize for a tremendous vote--T70 or 80 or 90 percent of the voters will have to go to the polls before he can hope for victory. ge ok op HIS OWN ELECTION--An im- portant section of the P.C. party is hoping for a "saw-off" arrange- ment in the by-electiorr where Drew will seek election. That is, they hope the Liberals will not contest whatever Conservative seat is made vacant for the Ontario Premier. The Conservatives did not con- test Algoma East where Mike Pearson is running; and they ex- pect a reciprocal arrangement. There was, of course, no "deal" ar- ranged regarding Algoma East, Drew was not then the leader. But perhaps the party was looking ahead.

JOURNALIST DIES Philadelphia, Oct. 5 -- (AP) -- | Thomas Augustine Daly, 77, poet humorist, lecturer and journalist, died Monday.

BIBLE STILL BEST SELLER (Napanee Express) Recently, a divinity professor of note in the Unite States was asked who reads the Bible? He was asked for a list of the famous people who have gone to it for faith, love and duty, and replied: "Just take the names in the Eng- lish and American 'Who's Who. You can copy them at your leisure." He added that no one can have any real roots in the English lan- guage whe does not know and read the King James version of the Bible. It is still the finest book on morals, manners and religion in the world. In its compact library are masterpjeces of poetry, drama, philosophy, 'sofiology and ethics. Between the covers are the biog- raphies of some of the most power- ful personages who ever lived. Some read it to ease the hard and rough places of life with the lifting power of inspiration. For whatever purpose, the Bible still remains the outstanding best seller among the books of men, Looking Around The World By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press News Analyst The long-suffering United Nations Security Council Monday heard an argument to end all arguments when Soviet delegate Vishinsky took the floor and, with a perfectly straight face, declared that there is no Soviet blockade of Berlin. A few members of the council smiled wryly at the audacity of this claim. Vishinsky was pursuing typi- cal communist tactics. The existence of the blockade has been a recog- nized fact but both sides for months, until the other day when Marshal Sokolovsky, Russian com- mander in Germany, made the same crack about there being no blockade. Vishinsky was, of course, fighting to keep the security council from consideration of the charges by the Western powers that the blockade is a menace to world peace. He de- clared the demand for U.N. consid- eration of' the dispute was ground- less, "as it does not fall within the scope of the Security Council." So in order to clinch his argument he cooly caused the blockade to vanish with a wave of his hand. 'It's easy to understand the anxiety of the Russians to keep the U.N. from passing judgment cn the charge of aggression. They have no intention of abandoning their cold war, but they cqgn have no desire to be branded as aggressors by a majority of the world's powers. Russia was booted out of the Lea- gue of Nations in 1939 for aggres- sion against little Finland, and it didn't boost her stock any. So Vishinsky fought to escape the ignominy of this brand, and the United States battled with equal vigor to get a council hearing of the charges. Of course, there is the possibility that Russia and her satellites would walk out of the U.N. If the Soviet Union were branded as an aggres- sor. Anyway the democracies seem determined to risk a split in the peace organization in order to get a showdown. As a matter of fact, there are many observers who feel that such a division might be a good thing. The democracies would at least get a chance to do some constructive work, whereas thus far the Rus- sians have hamstrung the U.N, while using it as a propaganda sounding-board for themselves. e A Bible Thought ...
