my of freedom burning strongly mummy nor of Materialism meet our doubt that the most import tuusinmmuentepeecn which the Ron Landon Minister of Education Vito 0am gave at the officialopenlng of the new addition to the Barrie District Col legiote Institute on Friday night was his mining against the spirit of materialism Idlichwss sweeping this country At first glance it might appear that the Moduli of this subject in his address was perhaps in rather too serious vein for such on Harrier that was one of the things that made his point so forceful the fact that the speaker threw it out as challenge to the young people There are those who would have the children in our schools shel tered from the hard facts of life while they are in the midst of their school life contend ing that they will have sufficient things to worry about when they do emerge finally to take their place in the world of business Today at the pace with which life is mov ing our young people have to gain an early awareness of what is likely to beset them later in their lives There can be no finer place in which to receive this very necessary knowledge than the schools Communism is the greatest menace to the things we hold dear Democracy and the right to worship speak and think as we see fit are the things the western world has fought to preserve We must keep the flame Already we have seen it dwindle to icker in other areas of the world It is not enough that we sit around and complacently assure ourselves that It cant happen here It can if we become weak enough to allow it great deal is talked about Communism When we mention the word we think about twelve and insidious other words like Reds North Koreans the Kremlin and Russian satellites Thoseare the tangible realities of this ideology The real menace lies in the other aspects of Com munism with which we are not so well acqnainted Part of the power of the Red scourge is the fact that its progress is unob Before we realize it it is in our midst When Dr Dunlop spoke in the Collegiate Tr auditorium he stated that there was spirit somnflerlalism tendingto sweep the country land that it was sponsored by that evil ide ology knownasommunism There is no need for any great soulsearch ing to find whether we have fallen victims to this menace Today greater emphasis is laid on money and property than has probab ly beenithe case at any previous point in our countrys history Materialism is very present evil in our midst and with it has come warping of some of the things which were atone timeconsldered the real necessi ties of life Our spiritual and intellectual values have suffered accordingly The great taskfdcing our educationists is to produce publicspirited citizens cf to morrow who have an unswerving loyalty to those things on which our democratic system isbased We must have those people if the greatness of our country isio be maintained That tdsk however is not solely facing our teachers It is problem confronting par ents citizens of every kind and our church es If we can strengthen our own belief in those spiritual and intellectual Values which we seem to have lost track of temporarily to certain extent at least we will at least be showing an example tothe young people It is important that they be guideli along the proper paths It is impergtimehst we show themitbe guiding light and extend to them the helping

democratic government can con tinue only as long as it has public support The man or woman who takes part in public activities is helping keep alive our demo cratic processes Have that mans head ex

OPINIONS OF OTHERS Little Merchants Ottawa Citizen Seventeen Britons after studying newspaper prol ducfion methods in the United States recommendcdl among other things that their own country might well do well to copy the American little merchant newsboy system And they might have added Can adas as well Canadians have become so accustomed to the young merchant idea that they may tend to assume it is universal custom But in Britain as the investigating team points out youngsters who deliver papers to homes are dimes always paid straight wage There is little incentive to go out and drum up more husinem In Canadian towns lad with thinlyspread route to cover knows how toincrease his revenue per bicycle stop He simply tries to fill in as many of the intervening spaces as he can by attracting new customers And he can be very persuasive about it His success in building up route may be pretty fair guide to his future career when he grows up It doesnt automatically follow that the enterprising newsboy of today is the tycoon of tomorrow but certainly no one will deny min the experience he gains does him any harm in learning about people and theicways mm To Sell or Not to Sell Victoria Times It is commonly said that the labor unions lost both the major British Columbia strikes this year In one sense this is true The timber workers and the fishermen not only failed to secure any signifi cant advance in wages but cannot regain for long time anyway the losses suffered during their idleness But in another sense the wage settlements in these great industries represented victory for the workers good judgment They have shown that they understand the basic economic facts governing their wages and in the end the wages of all Canadians Timber fish and other products must be sold at the price offered by the market In the case of exportsand most of our British Columbia products are exported the world market has lately reduced its prices some what We must accept those prices or we cannot sell ourgoods It is choice of selling or reducing our output and our employment The timber and fishing industries are meeting this readjustment of the market inan orderly fashion with minimum of inconvenience to the workers and the community which depends on them Against imy reduction in the price of our ex ports Canada has lately profited bye reduction in the cost of its imports as the recent official figures show What really matters to the workeris not the amount of his money wages but the amount of goods they will buythe real wage as the economist calls it Thereal wagesof Canada are at or near an alldimcbigh as proved by the fact that we are consuming more goods than ever even at time when substantial fraction of our output is wasted in terms of strict economics in the essential defence of the nation There may be further price readjustments ahead uses the world market and the internal market change Wecanrefuse to accept them for time roduce our output and our prosperity or we can noldjovvn our cosisJo meet the market which in great exportiinofion is largelybeyond our con ro The timber and flailing unions have shown good sense in accepting the latter alternative and set an example observed throughout the nation The lesson ofj our present situation was not loomed without heavyloss of worklngilme and productionbut evi 93 been learned and
