inertia Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited is Hayfield Street Barrie Ontario rucsnav NOVEMBER no Arm Civil Servants Propose Change Of Servile Tag Federal civil servants in Ottawa at least want to be called government employees because civil servantim plies servility An obvious answer of course is that many of themare not civil and do little in the way of service and therefore it is high time they were given some other name In any case the complaint is typical of the common desire to exchange meaningful words for words that can mean anything or noth ing Garbage collectoer have become sani tary engineers and disposal experts scrubwomcn and sewer workers are both maintenance employees maids and cooks are domestic workers The last refuges of the words service and servant will soon be the service clubs Rotary Kiwanis Lions and so on who still seem proud of the word and its connotation and politicians who like to claim what ever their private thoughts may be that they are servants of the people We see no objection to the change proposed by the Ottawa group It isde Traffic authorities agree that no one really knows how many accidents are caused by drivers who actually are half poisoned from carbon monoxide With the approach of colder days and nights traffic police know with certainty that deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning will increase sharply As the American Medical Association observes this colorless odorless taste less gas that is expelled from the cars exhaust system is deadly poison in an enclosed space Before the driver realizes what is happening he gets drowsy and begins to doze at the wheel If the gas itself doesnt kill the resulting crash into tree or bridge rail or an oncom ing car might finish the job Every driver should follow thebasic rules to cut down the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning They are batable whether the designation civil servant is in truth degrading it goes back to the time in early eighteenth cen tury Britain when the administrative machinery of the government was di vided into the military establishment and the civil establishment the latter known as the civil service and its staff as civil servants the government makes the de cisions the civil service carries them out It could be argued that the phrase implies usefulness rather than servillty and that dislike of it by those to whom it can be applied suggests significant change in attitude towards the function of the administrative branch of govern ment But designation is not of itself important and if the government em ployees want to change it let them We hope however that they will find some better tag than government em ployees government is only an elected agent of the people of this coun try and the workers it hires are paid out of the revenue provided by the people The new name if one is chosen should serve as constant reminder of that fact Driverss Deadly Enemy Leave at least one window open slight ly even on bitterly cold days if there is leakage of gas the fresh air will dispel most of it Keep the front vents closed when driv ing in bumpertobumper traffic Your vent can suck in exhaust fumes from the car ahead of you If you park for more than minute or two with the motor running open win dow several inches Wide open is safer Most important is to make certain that exhaust muffler and manifold are tight and free of leaks It is worth few dol lars to mechanic to guard against gas poisoning If you feel sleepy on the highway night it might be the late hour or it might be carbon monoxide Whatever the cause get off the road

LONDON CWTho people of Wales will decide soon whether intoxicating liquorbe it gift from God or notmay be sold legally in pubs on Sunday Each of the lacountles and four county boroughs in Wales and the neighboring English county of Monmouthshire easily got the 500 signatures needed for poll Nov on localoption basis The campaign has heeh heated and bitter but surprisingly enough many Welshman who likes nothing better than con vivial drink of Sunday after noon is completely apathetic The reason is that there al ready are numerous watering holes available to him in the form of private clubs that le gally dispense drinks on the Lords day LOSING BUSINESS Pub owners are in favor of Sunday opening claiming that more drinking is done on Sun day than any other single day of the week and that they are losing this business The 2600000 population is catered to by some 1350 clubs and membership extends to nearly 600000about 60 per cent of the adult male population Anyone of age can join club for fee but he must wait hours before he can buy drink The wets claim this is bad for the tourist business Leading the fight against the change is the Welsh Sunday Closing Act Union Campaign nl alliance

GOD Rev Edwin Morris Anglican Bishop of Wales recently added spark to the battle with his statement that alcohol ll gift from God The archbishop in his book The Christian Use of Alcoholic Beverages said The main Biblical evidence and particularly the reference to teaching let our Lord requires the positive view that alcoholic beverages are gift from God Otherwise do not see how men could have offered wine in reli gious worship and in particular how our Lord could have instl tuted it as means of holy com munion with himself Easier Entry To University Reason For Foreign Students By RUSSELL ELMAN OTTAWA CF Many for eign students attend Canadian universities ain because they find it easier to gain ad mission here than in other coun tries Dr David Thomson vice prlncipnl of McGill University said today He told the National Confer ence of Canadian Universities and Colleges that he believes large proportion of our overseas students would have gone to the United Kingdom or the United States Forthem Canada was sec ond sometimes third choice because there seems to be better chance of gaining ad mission and getting financial support in Canada than else where Dr Thomson added however that most foreign students on arrival are staggered at the quality of Canadian higher edu cation REDS MORE REALISTIC He warned that while Canada otters approximately $4000000 year in awards for foreign students the Soviet Union has more realistic approach to the problem of training students from under developed coun tries He said some countries have no universities at all while others produce graduates inad equater prepared to undertake postgraduate study in Canadian universities Most of the awards available to foreign students were at postgraduate level Dr Thomson said that such ill prepared students perhaps not fluent in English or French might be exposed on arrival in Canada to severe cultural shock It is no kindness to admit such students to Canadian insti tutions at level at which fail ure is slmastinevltable yet it may be very hard indeed to find them financial support at lower level and difficult to demote them without offending personal and national pride lnaddltion

the next five years will ex pect universities to managl their present facilities better Dr Splnks presi dent of the University of Sas katchewan called for greater research grants to equip uni versity

speaking for himself FOR SUPERVISION Dr Morris elaborating later on his book said he was not campaigning for Sunday opcnv ing but think that properly conducted pub is better pines than licensed club which is not properly supervised The Welsh fought far and won law against drinking in last But for many supporterswhose motives were more political than socialit was case of cut ting off the nose to spite the face large number of noncon formists icre genuinely opposed to having public houses open on Sunday Their allies the na tionalists generally werent so keen on the idea but were anxi ous to support any cause that would put blemish on the ap pearance of Welsh English unity Any law different from that which applied to the English they figured was victory RISKY IN WAR shire nestled against the South Wales border near Cardiff was included un der the law on the grounds that the rush of thousands of thirsty Welshmen over the border would be dangerous in wartime There have been sporadic movements ever since last for new look at the situation and this year bill was passed in Parliament giving each county and county borough the right to vote on whether it wants its Vpubs open on

and effect They came into operation at the be ginning at November and al ready ancssmentl are being made as to how some of the new provisions are working out in actual practice It will take some time for the customers of public houses to become accus tomed to some of the new rc xulstions lileanwhllc many of the public house llcencesn re already finding it troublesome to keep their customers in line with the new laws One of the chanch which is causing some difficulty in th is early stages is one by which customers who are still in the bar at the regulation closing time will be allowed an extra 10mlnutes drinkingup time This extra to minutes of grace applies to both fnronoon and evening drinking periods IS CAUSING TROUBLE Licencees are already report ing that this extra minutes for drinking is causing them some trouble From the custom ers point of view it is good move There will be no more snatching of halfemptied glass as away from them when the landlord announces TimeGen tlemen Please in the time honored way But the landlords have already found that many of their customers simply re gard this as 10minute exten sion of the permitted hours of the public houses They are having trouble in resisting st tempts to order more drinks during this 10minute period Actually it is intended only to give drinkers time to consume the drinks they have ordered and have in front of them when closing time is announced The newlegislatinn provides for three new types of licences which did not previously exist These are restaurant lic ence for the sole of drinks with table meals

listen to Him or to allow Himto reveal His Time licence for hotels with public restaurant It is now legal for offlicence premises to sell liquor all day instead of during specified lim iied hours Drinking will be allowed until three am incer tain hotels restaurants and re gistcrcd clubs in the West End it will be much more simple than formerly for restaurants and boarding houses to secure the new licences to serve drinks with meals STIFFER PENALTIES On the other side of the plc ture however are much more severe penalties for offences against the low and the setting up of some new offences The penalties for knowingly serving drink to persons under 13 have been made much stiffer It will also be an offence to send enn drcn to an offlicence store to buy beer or other alcoholic bev erages this being radical de parture from old principles un der which parents could so not their children to buy their drink for them at these siorcs person under ill for whom drink is bought commits an offence now Previously only the person buying the drink has been liable for penalty under this law And there is one radical new provision which has caused and is still causing controversy In one of the provisions of the act now in effect the establishment of licensed premises on motor ways anywhere in the country is strictly prohibited This is aimed at reducing highway sc cidents caused by

the Canadian Chamber of Com merce said today In brief to the special four man committee investigating unemployment insurance the chambers tive council also proposed that payments to sources of drain on the fund be stemmed It cited as sources of drain some married women some pensioners loose lob tests and duration of benefit The brief said that married women to ce benefits should be required to meet ad dltional conditionsat the least to prove some attachment to the labor market It said some persons drawing benefits are drawing retirement pensions or old age pensions and are not really in the market forjohs It criticized very loose regu lations as to when an applies an should be required to accept an available job or lose his ben efits The benefit period now maximum 52 weeks should he reduced to 30 weeks or at least to the maximum 36 weeks ef fective in 1955 AGAINST SEASON ANGLE The chamber reiterated its opposition to inclusion of sea sonal workers within the scope of the insurance plan The payment of seasonal be nefits or benefits to seasonal workers is not insurance it said The introduction of these benefits and the coverage of these classes of workers has re sulted in weakening of the soundness of the unemployment insurance scheme We submit that provision for seasonal workers should be dealt with separately from the unemploy ment insurance fund Andrew
