Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 Hayfield Street Barns Ontario Walls Publisher Brian Slaight Genera llianager MONDAY APRIL ll 1m Pll¢ Big Steel Backs Down Presidenis Prestige Soars President John Kennedy scored an film ressive victory when his furious at tac forced the steel companies of the United States to back down in their plans to raise the price by six dollars ton This would have caused another upward spiral of prices in all manufac tured goods and no doubt would have been reflected in Canada Neither the United States nor Canada can afford any further inflationary tendencies world competitive markets being such as they are This vast new influence accorded to the resident will give him more power in shaping the nations economy It is not long since Steel and Labor signed new contract which Mr Kennedy hailed as noninflationary But the major steel producers decided to test the issue by price increase which the president angrily claimed was unjustified Labor Secretary Arthur Goldberg was sent to New York to talk turkey with the board chairman of US Steel Roger Blough The arsenal of wea on the president wheeled into his al out economy foray against the big busi ness leaders was an awesome disiplay of coldly determined political an econ omic ower seldom if ever before em ployed by US government Even threat was used when it was intimated that steel buying for defence contracts would be shifted to firms that did not raise riccs The industry also must have been mpressed by the seeming fact that Congress wason Mr Kennedys side There was also the spectre of anthtrust legislation which could be recommend ed removal of business concessions in the pending tax bill and cancellation of scheduled depreciation revisions The main thin is that the price line is being held an this is very necessary to maintain the upward trend in the economy The president has been tough with Big Business he should be equally so with Big Labor May Be Case Of Sour Grapes It is entirely possible that the Mc Naughton affair will reverberate through Canadian history like few incidents since the Reciprocity Treaties Any issue involving allegations of sell out to the US or lpossible incompetence in negotiating wit the US is loaded with political dynamite It is sure to be an election issue General McNaughton claims to have been fired by dictator from his post as chairman of the Canadian section of the International Joint Commission which negotiated with the US on water wlays rivers etc involving the two coun tr ea The general reached the age of 75 and was not reappointed to his post This is in line with the governments recent ly announced policy for senators and re cent legislation regarding retirement of judges The general claims he was fired and has accused the government of making poor deal on the Columbia River treaty Strangely the treaty was negotiated some time ago The general former Liberal cabinet minister didnt start ing poor deal until the government not reappoint him It appears very much like case of sour grapes Down Memory Lane WAR DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Barrie Examiner April 1942 Barrie churches overflowing for Easter ser vices

revolution so wide spread has been the influence of this most familiar of plastics In recent New Ideas broadcast by the BBC Peter Colbourne reported on the Courlene nets made of high density polythene yarn which are now common sight on the decks of British trawlers These plas tic nets were only third of the weight of the conventional manilla type he said and since they could not absorb sea wat er they remained as light during fishing and were far easier to haul in They did not rot and lost none of their strength even in temperatures of ten degrees be low freezing Their lower specific gravity

while hav ing this It It is inflammation of the lin ng of the uterus It can result from miscarriage from some difficulty in the birth of is child from the presence of infection or in fact anything that can in flame mucous membrane It can ordinarily be curcd the treatment varying according to severity from simple medica tion to and meaning dilation and curettage or scraping of the inflamed area it is possible to become preg nant while having this but the problem is an interfering ele ment Dear Sir Please settle question My family has always taken vitamins at bedtime Now friend of mine says they should be taken in the morning so as to get the benefit in the daytime would like to make certain before continuing my rnctlce of bedtime dole outapMRS This is nonsense and there are too many serious matters to absorb us without making an argument out of whether vita mins should be taken in the morning or at night If we eat reasonably ball onced diet we get the vitamins we need in our food But if we insist on taking vitamins whether we need extra portions QUEENS PARK hid Societies if or not we shouldnt waste time worrrylng about what time of day to do it People who drink their orange juice at supper in stead of at breakfast get just as many vitamins and it does them just as much good Dear Dr Molnar was steri lized tubes tied in 1950 not due to any disease but because we had had six children and was anemic and run down am now 41 years old and widow in good health have met gentleman who wants to marry me Can have the steriliza tion undone Maybe In some cases the ends of the tubes can be sowed together provided not too much scar tissue has formed from the tying or severing of the tubes There is no positive way of being sure of success how ever And thats one reason why frown on tying the tubes for this purpose Its so often per manent To see whether any thing can be done now consult gynecologist Dear Dr Mulder What about congested larynx Is vitamin good for it Forget about vitamins in this regard If the congestion is chronic perhaps with cough or change in voice see throat specialist to make sure it isnt from some serious cause such as tumor or even on early cancer But if the congestion and hoarseness is temporary re cult of an ordinary cold or the Need Not Fear The Govt By DON OHEARN TORONTO Childrens aid societies throughout the prov ince are afraid the government is out to do away with them They need not be alarmed in this regard Nobody has any in tention of doing away with the societies But at the same time many of them might do well to take look at their housekeeping For it is more than probable there will be some tidying up There has always been question whether it is in the longterm interest that certain public bodies should he semi autonomous Should aahool boards for in stance have the complete con trol over their budget that they do without having to raise the revenues Library boards are another instance They are under the loosest of supervision But there is probably no other group of public or semipublic bodies that enioya the auton ndmy the childrens aid societies They are supported 90 per cent by public funds but for practical purposes are responsi bit to practically nobody Which has led to wildly differ ent quulltles of administration in the various societies Their per capita costs of car ing for children vary widely And so do their various my fife and methods of adoption There is no more delicate problem of course than trying to bring groan of this nature in line Their officials are largely vol untary workers and they do get certain amount of their money from private funds CRITICISM RESENTED This means that any criti cism at all is resented The department of welfare therefore deserves praise for even approaching the question If its officials didnt have atrongseuse of conscience they could just as easily let the prob lem alone As it is however very able advisory committee is con lidering the question of the so cieties among other matters And it can be expected that eventually will be made It is perhaps not the job for this committee but it is to be hoped that sometime soon somebody will make good study of volunteer work in this and other fields There in strong suapiclon that voluntary organizations usually mean principally waste ful organizations This could be quite wrong But if it is the writer for one would like to be shown the proof of 3de like then stop smoking avoid inhaling irritating fumes if you have any reason to en counter thcm dont talk too much using steam in halator either plain or with aromatic medication added will speed relief Note to MRS c1 agree with you and your husband baby is not marked while the mother is carrying it And quarter of million doctors will say the some thing But dont think you can do anything about grandmother who happens to have been infected with this false notion half century or more ago Just be tactful with grandma and set your own mind at ease WORDS FROM THE CROSS The Word Of Victory 111i is the filth up in of addresses on Wordl mm the Crou cur really being delivered by Rev Glrdlner Skelly It the Tuesday Lunch Hour services In Collier Street Untied Church KT FINISHED Beyond doubt this in the most ambiguous of the words from the Cross None of the others could be so easily misunder stood and therefore we must seek to interpret it with ring ular care Taking it at face value the meaning is obvious manifest ly it Is tired wistful confer lion of failure and one can al most hear the accompanying hissing sigh of despair lie had come riding buoyantly upon the running tide of hope But now the dreams of yesterday have turned into the nightmares of today At the outset every thing had been so full of rom ise golden vistas of peas billty opened up and beckoned to Him The crowds came throng ing from near and far jostling one another to press little closcr for the common people heard Him gladly And then just as suddenly as it had all begun so the tide started to tum The high noon of His popular ity began to wane His follow era dwindled to handful and when the hour of sorest crisis came He was utterly alone deserted abandoned forsakcn of human society And here at last Ho hangs in the final agony of death upon the Cross misunderstood on the one hand by His friends and despised on the other hand by His enemies As the dlscourngcments mount and as the disappointments multiply one feels that the fin a1 verdict on the whole lorry chapter of events must be the ominous wordFAILURE This conviction is corroborated by the cry It is finished is as though He were saying here Ah we have done our best to make these dreams come true but we have been thwarted by circumstances be yond our control And now it is all over this is the end It ll finished Now we might be able to agree with such an interpreta tion If it really had been the end Yes we would be obliged to nod our heads in reluctant affirmative it the whole thing LETTERS TO EDITOR GRANT MEMORIAL Dear Sir was greatly pleased with the article on the editorial page of April 12 regarding the late Fred Grant know he received what considered rather scanty recog nition when they named the shortest street in the city Fred Grant Street but to my mind that seems rather inadequate It would have been preferable had they renamed Mary St That was the street on which he was born and raised and it would have been fitting appre ciation of the work be has done on behalf of his native city However it is not too late to perpetuate his memory The Parks Board is asking the citi zens to suggest names for three parks which have not as yet been named and think it would be very appropriate to name the park on Grove St West Fred Grant Park Undoubtedly as boy he was familiar with every foot of ground above Mary St It would be natural place to be explore ed by small boys and no doubt he and his friends spent many Saturdays in the wilds at the outskirts consider that he is great deal more entitled to this honor than any living person as he did more to keep the history of Bar rie alive than any other erson living or dead and fee that any lover of history will agree with me am submitting his name to the Parks Board for considera tion and hope other similar minded people will do likewise After all without past we would have no present Yours truly McGuire 117 Cumberland St Barrie out 55m 1858 oz had petered out into oblliion at this particular point in his tory We would have been ctr ilged however unwilllnaly to accept this theory had there been no empty tomb had there been no Easter dawn had then been no resurrection experience rekfndling the dead hopes of the disciples in the burning movie tion that He was Indeed alive We would have been forced to accept this verdict had there been no Pentecost with its dra mallc release of divine trm formin wer and were there no Ch at on church in the world today resetting out into every nook and corner of the earth But because of these and other considerations we simply cannot accept this explanatoa of the cry it finished Be cause of the events which have taken place and the circum stances which exist we must reject this lntcrpretaiion as be ing quite untrue to both the past and the present This is not wall of failure on the contrary it is is glad cry of TRIUMPH in the light of all that has transpired this is the only in tolllgent defensible verdict This is the note of achievement which is present in our voice too whcn after sore strife and struggle we announce the com pletion of some exacting task So it is that on the Cross the Lord tastes something of the gladncss of accomplished as signment as He cries It in finished But if this be the true ex planation of His words we must be prepared to answer the nes tlon But what did He fnish on the Cross This is an em barrassing question not be cause of the difficulty of know ing hot to say but because of die difficulty of finding time and space for all that might be said Nor do we need to dredge up ideas from the depths of our imagination for the New Test ament spills over with answers The Cross is the end of mans estrangemcnt from God for in this sacrificial demonstration of divine love the ancient enmity is swallowed up and we are miraculously reconciled to God The Cross is also the end of sins guilt and power for it is at once the disclosure of Gods mercy which forgives and Gods grace which delivers The Cross is also the end of deaths dominion over us The bondage of the tomb has been broken and the dark frighten ing depths of the grave have been flooded with light He has opened to all believers tht gat es of everlasting life This is what He has wrought This is what is finished the loneliness of being separated from God the bondage of sin lhe fear of death For in Christ He hath given us the victory over all theseand more besides The finnl address In the series entitled The Word of Commitment will he delt Ilvcrcd at the LunchHour service tomorrow in Collier Street United Church 1230 BIBLE THOUGHT Wnlk worthy of God who hath called you unto his king dom and gloryI Thunlon tans
