intact the Easter week when with school vacations many people take to the road especially if the weather is gond itmlshtbetlme to ex amine how the demerlt point system for drivers in Ontario is working out It has been in effeCt Just overn year Recently Windsor city council passed resolution to the effect that the daner it system was too harsh in penalizing the comparatively few truck drivers who commit traffic infractions Somenenrby councils such as at Samia rejecteden dorsement The Windsor view is rightly that as class of worker truck drivers are generally safetyconscious Operators of large trucking fleets spendm1ch money time and effort training their drivers to obey the laws and to avoid accidents Since driving trucks is their livelihood licence suspension through the accunimuiatlon of demerit polnts would constitute real hardship But by and large we believe thelde merit system is the best yet devised for Ontario At the last Canadian Highway Safety Conference resolution was pass ed asking more provinces to adopt de merit point system The Sarnla Observer contends that no matter how good are the malorlty of tggfidrivers there are those lost as no cl tprone

payasyouuse basis Public opin ion ls all against it and it is gratifying to learn that city councl has stepped into the picture and arranged joint meeting between county and city to discuss and settle differences This should not be im possible The whole situation was summed up very well in recent article inthis nem paper by the provincial agricultural re presentatlve when he asked if we as city have grown up enough to warrant city status There is no conflict between the two recreation bodies They are complete ly complementary The grant in question amounts to only $2300 Value received is many

in Progresrspelledwlth acapl tnlIT For them as fdr most inf us progressives almost arre llgiou We bad faith in Progress even if we werent very certain what was meant Morerecently we have not been so sure Two world wars and the Great 1178 pression have shaken out faith The danger of atomic disaster has made us still more unsure Philosopérs and writcrs have voiced the disquiet that gradually seeped through our society So in this folk school ws have decided to examine the idea of progress In this first ses slouiwe will look briefly at the history of the idea and at somo of the problenls lwo ancient religions those of the Persiansand the Jews in eluded the notion that history was onedirectional Christian ity based on Judaism continued with the uotion that we were moving aheadlhis idea was ex pressed rnust forcibly by the fact that Christians date all events from before and alter the birth of Christ His birth marked turning point in history The goals of the Christians were two one the joys of the Christian life lived even in the midstof flleworld and two the joys of the new heaven and the new earth which it was expect ed wouldsoon appear As the ex pectation of the early arrival of the new1earth andlleaven grew dim the ultimate goal of the Christian hope was transferred to the after life but the notion of movement in history remalued WESTERN THOUGHT Thismuch ourmoobrn belief in progress owes to Christianity insurance is the product of the last twohuudrecl yearsof west em thought The first step oc curred during the Renaissahcé hen waste man discovered ely interest in the things of this world but the founders of our belief progress were Francis Bacon vRene Descartes the twophilosophers who stand atthe beginning of the modern era fiat that these men believed rogress as we do or ourgrandfathers did but they argued that it was possible to advance kuowledgeof the natur al world through the irse of rea son And theyzthougbt we should work fortbesc gains in know ledge so that we ouldlmprove theielhpural and hyslca condi tions oflivin Tim was the be glun thoughtal eds in earthly lot flhe French philosophers of the 18th Century ded the uotiun adcial progress uld also be

pollen derived tram couldbe discovered in the some ways as the laws of nature MODIFIED IDEA In the 19th century German philosophers modified the idea of progress by suggesting the no lieu of development This was followed by ibe teachings of Dar win on evolution His famous book dealt only with biology but with the help of Herbert Speaclt er the doctrine of evolutiouwas made to apply to all of history Other thinkers in our own time have taught that the universe it self is evolving although when they say this they mean some thing different from the biologi cal evolution that Darwin was talklugabouLA The philosophers provided system of thought which suppor ted the idea oflprogress but the successofl tbesclehtists la in lcreasing knowledge gaia trol of the natural world and improving reconditions of Ill ing persuaded moat péople of the truth of progress In the realm of technology we made such rap id advances that it was easy to assume that progress was inevit able and that we had discovered the way to achieve it But there are some questions to be asked about progress ls progress inevitable lll idea didnt occurlo Bacon and Descartes They argued simply that it was possible Later men got the ideathat it was inevib able But if progress is inevib able what is the role of reason and of human effort or if pro grass is inevitable and Goddlr cell it what is human responsib ility and what becomes of free will or if progress is develop biology to all of society and the rapid growth of science stimulat ed an unthinking faith in pro grass We must now recognize that the idea of progress has no meaning unless we note the prior conditions and define the goals Progress is word that has meaning only when the activity it donates is from one point to another To suggest as om people have that progress goes on for ever with no goal either in time or eternity is to deprive the termof any useful meaning it might have In Christianity of course this has never been quite the case since the goal was achieved at once in living the Christian life with sort of secondary achieve ment secured lathe new earth and tbe new heaven reached either in history on this earthor in eternity lathe afterlife In practical consideration of lbc notion of progress we have to think about our goals This means we must examine tho changes that are occurring in present ohy society and decide whether somenf these changes are examples of progress or not dclsyswbicb are the experi ence of dress rehearse pected to be different But in Him case they were ag gravated by the novelty that any one who cared to pay the co tranca fee was permitted to join in the performance Alas some of the saltwater visitors were not merely unrcbcarsed they were unequlpped leatherfaced skippers who had spent life time sailing the dangerous high seas found that they were less skilled at sailing the smooth but narrow cauaistban the Canadian truck than who earn their living on our sweet water lakes But this year things are ex pecteo to be different As the result of our experi ences last year we are now better prepared for all eventunib lies lion George Hear our Min ister of transport told me There should be lower delays caused by lmplcperly equipped ships or by ships crews inex pfrienced in operating in can BENEFIT OF CHEAP FREIGHT in Canadian eyes the purpose of the St Lawrence Seaway is to let the lake boats out of the lakes In USA and overseas eyes its chief function has been misconstrued as being to admit overseas carguos in and out of oceanlgoing frelgblors to carry the Great Lakes This misunderstanding prob ably stems from the widespread luck of knowledge about the 59 staggering volume of freight car ried on the waters of our lakes When we think of the worlds great canals we perhaps think first of the Suez Canal or the Fanama Canal perhaps some of us have seen or even sailed upon the Manchester Ship Canal in England no we think in the some terms of the canals and And if we decide that they are not examples of progress we must then decide whether or not we will oppose these changes and if so how If we believe at all in freedom we must accept the responsibility of fixing the goals of our society and not so cepling all changes necessary and good but accepting and working only with those changes that seem likely to help us ach ieve our goals and opposing those changes which seem likely in defeat our aspirations first requirement is do decide what our goals are loch at Saul Sic Marie on the St Marys River linking Lake Superior with Lake Huron Yet in typical preSeaway year more cargo was passed through The Sad than through the Sum Panama and Manchester Ship canals combined And that despite the long winter closure at The Sea WHAT WATER SAVES US To express in different wont the bugs use which we milks of our Great lakes it has been cal culated that the total tonmiles of freight shipment on the lakes in an average year Is equivalent to frelghMrain of 75

no less than ten little calrollers for the last 120 miles of the journey to Montreal And it represents saving of 28 cents per bushel against the cost of rail transportation from the Lake bcad to

the universe is evolving In ordinary use organisms evolve within an environment and in re action to it but what is the en vironment of the universe It is customary to generalize from biology to all of history development by what kinds of interventions does but is this sound In biology pro gres means movement from the simple organism to the complex But is it equally valid to suggest that changing
