Elie viaarrirExammr OTTAWA REPORT Published by Canadian Nulpspcrs Ltd is bayfield street Barrie Ontario sacs rout FRIDAY FBBRDAIY II 1500 EDITORIAL World Refugee Year Gives 3ChallengeTo group of Barrie citizens have formed local World Refugee Year committee and this evening and tomorrow theywiil have volunteers selling tags for this wor thy cause At the end of World War 11 there were 40 million refugees men women and chlldren driven from their homes by the ravages of war and persecution Forty million humans no longer had country xihey could call their home living in dictment of the insanity of man In 1060 there were still 15 million refugees who needed permanent home or food and shelter or training to become selfour porting They need more than even this They necd to regain their self respect to feel that they are no longer outcasts parish of the community What can we do to help them World Refugee Year is special hum lanltarisn endeavor by the United Nat ions governments voluntary organisa tions and private persons to help resolve jthe world refugee problem It aims To focus inteth on the refugee prob riem To encourage additional financial contributions from governments volun tsry agencies and the general public aOn Reading bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United states has proposed an llth commandment to guide the conduct of ministers of the gospel He is the Right Eev James Pike of the Episcopate Din vcese of California and he made his pro posal before 500 Protestant ministers of the University of California couple of Weeks ago The commandment Thou shalt read thy daily newspaper carefully every day Bishop Pike explained to the ministers that they can bring the gospel success fully to their followers only if their ser mons are geared to what people think today And to learn what people think today you must read the newspapers he said our task is to relate the eternal message to the current personal and social scene We have no doubt that this districts clergyman have always made practice of reading their daily newspaper care fully every day and that as far as they are concerned Bishop Pikes proposed commandment is unnecessary His ad service Clubs To encourage additional opportunities for permanent refugee solutions through voluntary repatriation resettlement or integration on purely humanitarian basis The Barrie World Refugee committee estimates that 3500 can sue the life of one refugee The purchase ofa tag to nlgbt or tomorrow can help to save that life It seems to us that this human appeal offers challenge to all the service clubs of the community challenge which could be met easily enough Each service club holds some form of dinner meeting each week May we sug gest that the finestigesture these clubs could make would be to forage the cost of the dinner oi one such meeting and donate that amount to the World Re fugee fund To make the sacrifice im preilelve the clubs should hold their meetings as usual and the members should undertake not to buy meal lieu of the one theyihave foregone the meeting This then is challenge we offer to the service clubs of the City of Barrie Those accepting it will perform service in the interest of humanity vice however has general appllcstion The daily newspaper is record of so cietys successes and failures its hopes and fears achievements and omissions record of history written in hurry perhaps but nevertheless history With out pcrusal of this record no citizen of democratic nation can properly carry out his responsibilities as citizen The newspaper holds mirror to so ciety sort of magic mirror that can reflect the life not only of the community but of the nation and or the world The pleasant and the unpleasant show side by side The tragedies and the triumphs the glories and the disastersof individ uals and groups and masses here find their reflection One can look in the mir for and be informed entertained en lightened humbled snd angered or one can try to ignore it and thereby reject any involment in the wonderful world of human beings or one can even refuse to have ones narrow little mind and crab bed little life broadened and enriched simply by claiming to see only distorted reflections in the mirror Opinions of Other Newspapers CASE AGAINST LMIEBIES Winnipeg Free Press The case for national hospital sweepsiskc will be debated again in the current session of Parllamcnt The sponsor of the sweepstake bill In Conservative MP from Vancouver is confident ihat stale lottery scheme in Canada would get considerable public support The friends of government sweepstake argue filial this is painless and easy way to raise money for public services such as hpitals and juniveritiessAnd the Idea may have some appeal for governments which would lIke to win public favor by spending more on these servicu but lack jfhs money to do so Unfortunately this like most getricbqulck schemesIs an illusion lotteries are In fact very emensive way in raise money According royal commission report in 1940 only one ghth of all the money collected In the Irish Hos ial Sweepstske which is often held up as shin ing example of what lottery can do for hospitals ass to help the irish hospitals the rest is eaten by administrative costs and prizes In addit ion the hmpitals have lost the voluntary support ihey used in get before the lottery was set up to fbelp them Bui quite aside from the economic futility of ch scheme there are important social and legal factors which have or be considered it has been the experience of countries which have operated state lotteries that the people who participate in ihem most are the people who can lsast afford them Thus the lotteries draw money public services from people who would in use When
