ben ihown m erection of many of that centres it most commendable the work ing together of the neighbourhood not only in the raiting of fund but in the actual construction make for not only a better community but a better country with shorter hour there no doubt more need for good recreation and more time available for giving to community work it i however m the small communities where we find thit com munity work service applies injnpit instance end not in the citie or larger tentreswhere the hour are shortest perhaps the answer is that the city dweller has no community but is ust part of a well organized institution perhaps the answer it that the city dweller ha become so accustomed to paying for everything by way of cash that he it not prepared to make a community contnbu tion by any other means all of which leads us back to the same cone i u ion that we nnqht be bt ttrr with a canada of more small communities and fewer tug cities that shorter hours bigger take home pay aren t the complete answer to happiness and getting better acquainted and working together in small gioups does give understanding importance of tounst industry great pi ins are being made for national tourist service week may 1st to may 8th to impress upon canadians the importance of the tourist industry and to urge each citien to do his and her part to extend a cordial welcome to the tourists end see that they receive good values and courteous treatment canada s tourist take in 4 is officially estimated at 288 000 000 270 000 000 of yvhich were in united states dollars many benefits from the tourist industry come locally to employment through profit and taxes and as a definite market for the farmer it has been too often said thif tourist business js not the agriculturists concern at all but one re allies how short sighted how incorrect that statement is when one ponders the fact that a single resort hotel of moderate rates and average guest capacity of 200 bought 18 000 worth of canadian produce during its 80day operation of lest summer lets carry these benefits further afield into our tourist services and we find that the aforementioned 270 000 000 overall ex penditure of american visitors was distributed as follows in retail and department stores 59 4 million in hotels restaurants and camps 45 9 million in service stations and garages 32 4 million for movies entertainment and recreation 24 3 million for train steamship motor coach and plane fares 18 9 million for refreshments and roadside purchases 13 5 million and for novelties souvenirs and a host of other things 8 1 million the spaah worth ppart nowadays if it getting so that a dozen cans diant cannot sit down to lunch or dinner together without the self imposed torture of having to listen to the guest speaker harangue them for twenty rrlmutes or so on whatever happens to be his pet peeve the speech worshippers have become a cult not oply among womens groups but among business men as well so ngictiitfhe herd instinct in recognition of the social custom of having a guest speaker that his presence could no more be dispensed with than the toast to the king at ast georges day banquet so great is the demand for luncheon and dinner speakers that almost anyone will do what he says is not important so long as he does not embarrass his audience by a stuttering stumbling delivery and the reward at least in canada so far as the speaker is concerned is mainly con fined to the titlllation of his own ego for cana dians seldom attach a monetary reward to the perspiring efforts of practitioners of the speech tult there is an old saying that a product is only as good as what you pay for it certairvltfobody can deny that the quality of luncheon and dinner speeches would be greatly improved end a lot cf the chaff eliminated from the wheat if the guest performer received a reasonable fee for his services those on the receiving end might become a little more discriminating too tcl c new to the canadian automobile industry the in asion of the domestic market by the small british car it no longer a matter of indifference says a financial pott writer at first the trade generally tended to airily dismiss the united kingdoms bid for a place on canadian roads now the smile is gone phenomenal shipment to canada in january and february are hastening the shift trade re turn show 6 649 british passenger cars and 387 truck imported in february jh it 1 00- above tha previous record monthly average tet in the tatt quarter of 1949 more significant it represents one quarter of ii cart going into the canadian domestic market in february tvaryena can listen the word democracy has suffered much d s credit from two causes first it has been misused and twisted by e trennsts of right and left who have made it by turn a bull tor their gitxr and a cloak for their totalitarian aims second it hat sometimes stood for nothing much except inefficiency because we who in hented the benefits of democracy have failed to live in a way that makes democracy possible for democracy in its true sense can be made up only of those who deliberately prefer the good of the whole to their own selfishness its essence is not the wide sharing of privileges but the wide sharing of retpontibility the strength of democracy it strength of human character but the evidence of history teaches that even at its best human character is not enough so today we must look beyond the purely human conception of democracy to the further vision of an inspired democracy in which very individual not only contributes his best but is also instructed and guided by god himself inspired democracy will not come alxut by the action of a few leaders appealing to the s if interest of the masses playing down to human nature instead of pointing men to their true destiny ll can and will come to the leaders and millions of ordinary people and families through the new quality of life and the new teimwork which god gives to those who listen to him and obey in an inspired democracy every individual whatever his background or his brainpower has nn equal chance of playing a decisive part for anyone can listen to god and everyone whose heart is willing can be used by god here and now in the remaking of the world editorial notes last wet k it was spring floods and current danger of damage will be from grass
