WEDNESDAY APRIL 1954 Progress in Urban Living Toronto has provided Canada with its first subway system The 40mile line runs from Union station north along Yonge street to EglintOn avenue The $58000000 railway partly underground and partly in an open cut can move 40000 people in an hour if it has to but that peak of traffic is not likely for some years The subway its stations resplendent with pastel tile was opened March 30 with due ceremony Civic leaders predicted prompt extension of subway service to other parts of Toronto Citizens big and small beamed with pride that they should be the first to build this type of mass conveyor of Canadian humans And Torontonians can well be proud Their civic transportation commission has planned and built nobly if expensively To rontos subway is the most modern in the world Those who have travelled by under ground in London Paris New York Boston Chicago and other cities proclaim that Torontos new subway has the smoothest fastest ride But we in smaller places are not unduly envious subway is good thing if you need it Needing it is the rub The financiers of Bay Street may dis agree and probably they do if they are still there But living in the shade of spreading trees has some advantages over living in the canyon shade of skyscrapers Walking in dusty roadway has some advantages over treading the hot cement sidewalks of Toron to or any other city Watching hundred thousand office workers jostling and shoving through the clicking turnstiles in daily fight for seats in subway cars iSa bit too much for our liking to the antics of flock of sheep driven through narrow gate No let Toronto have its subway Its nice to be able to afford one but nicer not to need it Money is handmaiden if thou knowest how to use it mistress if thou knowest not Horace Education and Research Welch president of the Canadian iCancer Societys Ontario division said in his appeal on behalf of the divisions inten tion to raise $500000 throughout the pro vince during the April campaign Until every adult in the province has been taught to recognize the danger signals of cancer and has become aware that some types of it can be cured if diagnosed and treated in time the education program of the Can adian Cancer Society must continue to grow The society in Ontario has 36 units which conduct an allyearround program in can cer education In the past year alone vol unteer speakers addressed over 400 groups of people furnishing them with the vital can cer facts they showed films and distributed literature that is prepared in easyreading pamphlet form In addition visits were arranged of the mobile Little Red Door to industries fairs and gatherings of large groups of peOple in every walk of life As matter of interest 675000 pieces of liter ature were distributed in the province last year in an endeavor to better acquaint the public with this disease Cancer takes thousands of lives in Can dada each year and in order that the re search of doctors and scientists may con tinue in their effort to fight this disease the society asks for the generous support of every citizen during its April campaign for funds All progress is based upon universal in natedesire onthe part of every organism to live beyond its income Samuel Butler Keep the Past Alive Canadians haVe such an interesting home gland that even short journeys almost any where will bring them to localities steeped in the richness of the countrys historic past However in some areas much needs to be done to emphasize to visitor from afar or to casual traveller an individual communitys Ilink with history In fact some other reg 3ions notably the New England section of the United States have done far more than The Alistair Examiner most parts of Canada to make people con scious of their past and have gained great benefits in variety of ways Just the other day the problem was menl tioned by Dr Coleman of the Univers ity of Western Ontario who said most of Canadas small towns are colorless becausel they have not exploited their local tradil tions He said Canadians must recover an aware ness of their traditions at the local level where the identity of individuals is not lost Stripped of its academic trimmings that means it is up to the small towns to make sure their claims to fame are not allowed to be forgotten It means community must not be backward about pushing its claim to be the birthplace of famous man the site of pioneer industry or the scene of happening that was merely interesting or perhaps was significant enough to change the nations destiny

LEWIS MTLLIGAN friend came to Inc the other day with worried look and said Ive come to the end of the road had previously known of his difficulties and had warned him that he was on the wrong road but he persisted and had now come to the end of it It had appeared to him like good road and he board is better than nothing and relics are preserved this heritage which cannot be replaced may be lost forever If the proper steps are taken now Can adians of the future may be made conscious that they live surrounded by history while the present generation can enrich their leisure by helping to ensure that the connec tions with the past do not disappear The most necessary things for such project are enthusiasm and some spare time to invest under competent direction When the communities themselves have done all they can in This direction their own spirit and pride will be high and they will have achieved what Dr Coleman would like them to have identity meaning and color OPINIONS OF OTHERS Salaries of Teachers St Marys JournaliArgus Every school board in Ontario has been faced with the question of teachers salary increases in this past decade of rising prices and pay cheques As in our local schools the salaries of the teachers have been increased quite extensively since the end of 1945 and of course are in different class altogether from the salaries of the thirties Right now with the economic prosperity of our country apparently getting ready to go over few bumps it would seem to many to be the time for the teaching profession to ease up on their demands for salary increases This is not likely to happen however The teaching profession has been relatively low paid in the past and as result has not attracted to its ranks as many recruits as are necessary Coupled with this is the fact that those who have become teachers have found it necessary to form into asso ciations for the advancement of the standards of the teaching profession including higher allround scale of salaries The move of the teachers to improve their salary situation is longrun plan and isvnot likely to esitate or halt just because of flurry in the level of economic prosperity The case for the teachers might be put very simply The old law of supply and demandis working in favor of the teacher these days and until the supply factorlis changed considerably teachers will go onand quite justifiablyasking for salary increases Dumping Hits Farmer New Liskeard Speaker Evidence that import dumping at depressed prices adversely affects every segment of the national economy is found in the views presented to the Government in the brief of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture The Federation Canadas biggest farm body urges Ottawa to stiffen the antidumping laws to protect farmers against the flood of foreign agricultural surpluses presently threatening their livelihood Canadian agriculture has already suffered severely from the unrestricted flow of foreign agricultural imports The proof lies in the figures of the Dom inion Bureau Of Statistics which show that not only farm income but agricultural production gen erally has undergone substantial decline during the last twelve months The plight of Canadian agriculture can be attrib uted in large part to Canadas adherence to the terms of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade under which farmers in this country are left exposed to the threat of unfair foreign compel tition while other countries entirely disregarding their commitments under GATT bar Canadian agricultural products from their markets Prompt action to stiffen the antidumping laws is essential unless the position of Canadian agriculture upon which national prosperity so largely depends is to be further impaired Class All Newspaper flak Published

life with the best of intentions but he was impatient and in hurry to get there He had come to What was he to do When he realized that he had taken the wrong road the sensible thing for him to do was to turn back and find another mud The rash thing would be to go off the deep end lie did the sensible thing Which things are an alleg ory The road to the modern Utopia of social security and the welfare state is paved with the best of intentions but it is blind alley The British peo ple having sighted the end of that road under Socialist gov ernment paused at the last general election and are now casting one longing lingering look behind The Russian people having been driven to the end of the road are appar ently content to stay there They have always lived there under dictatorship and they do not miss freedom because they have never had it Socialism is the most seductive of all political isms There no reasonable argument against planned economy in its early sta ges as means of achieving popu lar welfare It is seemeth right unto manbut the end thereof is poverty and the death of individualyinitiative and freedom The social insects have plan ned economy and it works per fectly with them because they are insects They work by collective instinct by which they build houses gather and store food for the win ter Go to the ant thou slug gard consider his ways and be wise

London stating that famousBeveridge scheme to provide state social security from the cradle to the grave is heading for trouble From next year on we are told the scheme is likely to go deeper and deeper into the red Lord Beveridge himself the author of the scheme drew attention in the House Of Lords to the dangerous plight of his brainchild The benefits of the scheme had to be raised two years ago to meet the rising cost of living With the continued rise those who draw stateinsurance benefits are obliged to go to the National Assistance Board for extra help which must be financed out of taxes That is just one road that is leading to dead end Anoth er one is that on which labor unions of Canada and the United States are travelling the road of Collective Bargain ing It seemed like fair road at the outset but the unions increasingly conscious of their collective power are using it to the full To them the word collective does not include the employer or the general public and they apparently assume that the word bargaining means constant demands for higher wages and other ben fifs with the powerful weapon of the strike to enfore them There are definite indications that the end of that road is in Sight One does not need to be an economist to know that you can not raisethe cost of productiOn without raising the price of the things produced The end of that dead end road that mad is slump in trade and em ployment To change the figure it is time to revive interest in the old fable of the dog dropping real bone to grab at its enlarged shadow in the stream aw 040 RM Serious Situation At The Hospital Again Crowded Barrie April 1954 To The Editor The Barrie Examiner Dear Sir Through the column of your widelyread paper may bring to the further attention of the people of Barrie and surrounding district lack of hospital space which is once again deplorable After all the money and effort put into the building of our new hospital wing by so many people the turnout of interested citizens at the annual Board meeting was simply shameful Where were the representatives of organizations who helped to buy equipment This was the end of the first year of operation of our new wing and outside of some staff members and the Examiner press representative there werenti more than half dozen citizens present who were not members of the Hospital Board Our Board has done hard and thankless job and they are owed debt of gratitude To me the startling and most im portant item to emerge from this meeting so far as citizens generally are concerned the terrible short age of beds Checking today April with the superintendent for accurate verification was told that there can be no more surgery booked until after May 15 They are booked solid until then What happens in case of an accident or emergency asked We ask someone to give up his bed and go home so we can have bed was told Actually the crowded situation is worse than before the new wing was opened The care of the sick is just as important as sewers pavements or what have you Really far more so for with out health what good is anything else We must remedy this situation and therefore Mr Citizen put on your thinking cap and think long and hard It is your hospital it is your problem What and where is the answer Even if committee is set up immediately and works hard we cant hope for much relief for year and half probably for it would take year to build and six months to find the means is snappy work By thenvwell have many more people for we cant stop the growth of Barrie and district Make your decision soon im plore you and let the Hospital Board have your ideas to guide them What is the use ofpaying for Blue Cross or other hospitalization if you cant get hospitalized when you need it Yours truly JEAN
