vs8sbmi lfflffiffp py 3si3hw 1 35 the tribune stouffville ont thursday feb 22 1945 estamjshedlc8 f member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and ontario quebec newspapers association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario subscription kates per year in advance iii canada 200 in usav s2t a v nolan son publishers notes arid comrimits would be popular plank one of the most popular planks that can be put into a political platform by any federal party will be a promise of revision of the income tax- on small income earners the tax liability now starts at 660 for single and 1200 for married persons which is too low we suggest these starting points should he at least 800 for single people and- 1600 for married persons- collections on a great mass of payers under this amount is said to be well eaten up by the crowd of collectioners required to chase after the smaller payers jft tweed kc institutional and corporation lawyer of saint john writes on the matter in the financial post thus i am of the opinion that the first substantial reduction of taxation should be on personal income that would give relief to persons most in need of it the low and medium income groups the reduction should take the form of in creased exemptions and reduced rates i believe the present aggregate cost to taxpayers employers and government of collecting income taxes imposed- on the lower group equals a large portion of the total of such taxes collected from such a group the present tax also causes actual hardship to large numbers of such persons also many hot steadily employed suffer proportionately large tax deductions from their casual pay although total yearly income is not tax able- at all the st lawrence waterways a postwar issue the following editorial from the daily star tells a real story about the st lawrence waterway that is only too true and is printed here because our readers should be alive to the issue so vital to this part of ontario the conclusion of the war will undoubtedly see the st lawrence deep waterway reestablished as a political issue in both canada and the united states because of the transportationaladvantagees which would be involved the project will be bitterly opposed by the canadian railway systems which can be counted upon to use their influence against both the water and highway competition montreal and certain great lakes ports in ontario will also be hostile montreal because it is now the terminus of traffic which would come further inland and the ontario pbrtsvbecause they fancy it would mean loss of business toronto how- ever wotild profit toy the scheme- as an electrical develop- ment it will be fought by powerful electrical interests in both canada and the united states v mr leland olds commissioner of the federal- power commission at washington read to the toronto electrical club recently a paper declared that the st lawrence river is the greatest known undeveloped resource of north america with the great lakes it comprises a waterway stretching nearly 2700 miles from the atlantic ocean to the heart of the continent if it r were not for a bottleneck of approximately 50 miles oceangoing vessels could load their cargoes at toronto detroit fort william or duluth and deliver them to cape town melbourne liverpool or naples actually sen aiken points out toronto is near- erto liverpool than is new york city or baltimore the opening up of this route to ocean traffic would mean a substantial saving uf transportation costs this in turn would be of assistance to canada and i- the united states in meeting postwar competition in foreign markets grain beef and dairy products would find their way to other countries at a substantial saving sen aikens paper stated that it costs about the same to ship many products by rail from cities on the american side of the lakes to new york as it would to send those same goods from those cities to cape town by an allwater route as for the electrical advantages the st lawrence would generate more electrical energy than was produced by the entire tennessee valley authority during 1944 three times the power that canbe generated at the great dnieper dam in russia it would produce the cheapest electrical energy in all north america sen aiken thinks the railways would ultimately profit rather than lose by the new traffic developed about the only people who wouldbe forced to change their ways of doing business against their will would be utility companies now charging high rates and a few terminal operators who load and unload boats and freight cars it will be recalled that canada and the united states entered into a treaty for the completion of the st lawrence development in 1932 and while the united states senate approved this by a majority the necessary twothirds vote was lacking the two countries were thus deprived of the advantages which the development would- have provided if it had been undertaken and completed in time for use during this war in march of 1941 the governments of the united states and canada again reached ah agreement on the st lawrence deeping but by delaying tactics the opponents of the measure in the states held off a vote until after pearl harbor when shortages of manpower and material made a start impossible a new bill is to be introduced during the present sesson of congress but its passage will not be urged until the tension in the european theatre of war has been eased when and if the bill passes the us senate it will have to be approved by the canadian parliament as a provider of postwar employments during con struction and as a price reducer trade stimulator and power developer the project should commend itself to the legislative bodies of both countries but selfish interests which have opposed it before will oppose it again the skeptical farmer his curiosity stirred by the unusual number of farm auction sales that have been taking pjace recently in the prairie provinces mrr d colquette editor of the country guide winnipeg sent a questionnaire to the sellers asking them their reasons for leaving the farm and for other comments on their decisions- as might have been expected theanswers showed that old age poor health and lack of adequate help on the farm were influential factors in many cases of retirement from the number of farmers who are planning to spend their declining yefrs in british columbia it may be suspected that although one doesnt feel winter prairie temperatures very much one feels them even less on the coast but underlying many of the answers there is a tone of skepticism about politicians promises to help the farmer the farmers feel that now when stock and implements tare fetching record prices it is a good time to get out even though saskatchewan ihas voted for the millennium at least two farmers prefer cash one writies i sold to a big farmer who has ten sections so that i would be sure of getting my money would prefer selling to a man that needs the land and could have got 500 ah acre more but agreements dont mean much nowadays in saskatchewan another farmer from the same province says i would sell at once if a cash buyer came along but i will not sell on time as when a purchaser gets settled on the land he has protection arid loopholes and if he does not live up to his obligations one is at considerable expense to get him off sunday school lesson lesson for february 25 golden text whosoever therefore shall confess liic before men will i confess also before my father which is in heaven matt 1032 tlic lichsbii as a whole approach to the lesson themruth of the deity of our lord jesus christ is the cardinal doctrine which the church is to maintain on her journey through this world itis like the arkof the covenant which israel had to take with them as they marched on from sinai to the land of promise all other revealed truths are link ed up with this great fact that the man christ jesus is god manifest in the flesh very god and very man in one blessed adorable per son if he be not truly man he could not make propitiation for the sins of the world 1 john 22 if he were loss than god he could not triumph over death arid annul our great adversary who has the power of death the devil heb 2 14 15 it has been said at times by those who refuse to acknowledge his true deity that the confession of peter thou art the christ the son of the living god means only that he- had so excelled other men inhis knowledgcof and obedience itolgod that he had demonstrated a spiritual affinity to the father which made him in preeminent sense to be morally recognized- as the son of god but the term means far more than this as our lords own words imply when he de- clares a secret had been revealed to peter which the father alone could impart the jews themselves whowereoppbsedto him under- stood such a- claim to imply name- lyequality with god john 10 32- 36 i r the transfiguration wasmn itself testimony to this blessed truth on themount that night the three disciples saw the glory of the eternal son shining out through thcveil of his flesh and the voice gtf- i of the father for the second time bore witness to this precious truth when he declared this is my be loved son first following his baptism matt 317 and now con firming peters confession the father bears witness to the holy and mysterious relationship sub sisting between the lord jesus and himself verse by verse matt 16 13 whom do men say that i the son of man am in order to bring out the thoughts of his own discifries jesus put this question he did riot ask his own information for he knew what was in man and needed not any should bear witness to it john 2 25 but as a true teacher he would bring to the surface what wasinthe hearts and minds of his disciples verse 14 some say john the baptist as in the case of herod whose guiltyiconscience made him thinkthat the one he murdered had come to life again chap 141 2 some elias whose coming be fore the great day of the lord was long foretold mai 45- and others jererhias whom some of the scribes sought to identify wjth the- unnamed sufferer of isaiah 53 jer 1119- or one of the prop hets a divinely inspired man call ing the people back to god verse 15 but whom say ye that i am it was a direct quest ion and callad for a definite answer the same question comes home to everyone- today what is our answer verse 1c thou art the christ the son of the living god peter spoke for the others johns fey- bgftf great fact to them that jesus was the only begotten son full of grace and truth john 114 this is the great truth upon which the church is built the revelation of the deity of christ v 18 chap 17 1 after six days the narrative of the transfigur ation should not be severed from the lords words in chapter 1628 he took peter james and john up into a high mountain apart to give them a vision of the kingdom as it shall yet- be displayed peter dwells on this in his second letter 11610 verse 2 transfigured before them it- was a metamorphosis a change from within out the glory of christs eternal sonship shone out through the veil of his flesh so that the disciples might have ocular proof of his true character as irrimanuel god and man in one person verse 3 there appeared unto them moses and elias talking with him these two men of a past dis pensation represented two groups of believers one ithuse who die before the coming in of the king dom- arid the other those who will be changed and caught up without passing through death at the lords return for his own prepar atory to the bringing in of the mil lennial glory john 11 25 26 they also speak of the law and the prophets both of which bear wit ness to christs atonirig death rom 321 whereby god is able to provide a righteousness for men who have none of their own rom 324 25 we learn the sub ject of their discourse in luke 9 rcjmhus acknowledging their full j 30 31 they were occupied with confidence in- jesus

which is in heaven- it was not- by observation and intui tion ithat peter and the rest had come to this conclusion the our lords redemptive- work soon to be accomplished verse 4-hletus- make ihere three tabernacles peters suggest ion- came without real considerat ion he was so overwhelmed with the glory of thevlslon y that he would fain remain oh the mount in such wonderful company but he erred- in putting moses- and ellas eminent servants of god though father himself had revealed the they were on apav with jesus the i son become flesh verse 5 this is my beloved son in whom i am well pleased hear ye him a cloud shut but the old testament worthies and jesus was left alone the fathers voice spoke from heaven the second time attesting the perfection of his son arid his delightih him whose voice they were bidden to heed verse c the disciples fell on their face and were sore afraid- awed by what they had seen and heard the three fellprostrateas worshippers in the presence of god as seen in the lord jesus christ verse 7 jesus said arise and be not afraid reaching forth his loving hand our lord touched each disciple reassuringly and bade them stand up fearing noth ing he would have his- own feel at ease in his presence for though he is lord of all he is our kins manredeemer who assumed our humanity apart from siri in order to bring us to god verse 8 they saw no man save jesus only there could be no thought of three tabernacles now for moses the lawgiver arid elijah the restorer had vanished away and the lord jesus alone remained hewho is the same yesterday today and
