subscription rates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 250 a vnolan jp editor and publisher notes and comments from the best opinion we could gather in calargy premier aberhart may be slipping we brought up the subject before the professional man down to the man in the barber shop on our visit there the promise of 2500 a month seems now to be accepted as an impossibility by many albertans however while the writer was in calgary announcement that within a little while the government would introduce a form of credit to be used by the people instead of bank money was made by hon e c manning provincial secretary when he addressed approximately 1000 people at the third annual democracy day celebration of the social election victory on august 22 1935 the cele- braton was a picnic at st georges island calgary mr manning said the government was steadily prepar ing its interim social credit program and would ask the people to take the credit of our own and use it instead of money he also expressed the hope that when the time came in the near future that the people would show as much faith in the credit of the province as they now do in the pieces of colored paper issued by the banks dollars and tragedy perhaps its true that the world is rather a mercenary place in the morning papers it was announced that daniel george dodge heir to automobile millions badly injured by a dynamite explosion had jumped from the boat whch was taking him to a hospital and was drowned in georgian bay in the afternoon papers of the same day writers were busy supplying information regarding how much of the fortune was likely to go to his widow a girl from gore bay to whom dodge was married only two weeks ago before the day was over they had it all figured out that mrs dodge would get no part of the original fortune but she would get her share of anything which had been owned privately by her husband truth is there was much more space taken up telling how she was likely to come out financially than there was in mentioning the tragedy which blasted the married life of a girl possibly the news was what the people wanted to read but it is hard to get away entirely from the idea that there was something rather coldblooded about it every wife knows that her husbands views on home buying are simple that he favors the local merchants in preference to the far away bargain dealer she may at tribute to the well known masculine characteristic which gave birth to the phrase we men must stick together perhaps he doesnt say a great deal on the subject of home buying in case he should have this exacting responsibility wished on him as a lesson to teach him to mincf his own business that of earning money to keep the home but he is pleased nevertheless when his wife shares all his trade among the local merchants and there is reason for him feel ing content when she does so he knows that when times are good he earns more money he also knows that a tight money situation in his own community can be helped by con centrated buying through local channels so that the profit is saved for the community instead of wasted in some far away disinterested market he knows that when the local merchants are getting the maximum trade from the dis trict they in turn are spending freely in the community and so easing the tight money predicament if you ask your husband why he likes to trade at the local store he will explain in more or less detail that in doing so we are creat ing new community wealth 1 the remedy is ours from europe comes news of a new kind of demolition bomb which is being dropped on spanish towns with great success it has a long spike at its nose when it hits spike first and explodes before it gets below the surface of the earth as a result instead of making a big hole in the ground it blows down every house tree fence and human being within a wide radius and so is far more destructive than the old type of bomb now when you stop to thnk that every great nation on earth will presenly be equipping itself with such bombs in carload lots that planes to carry them farther and fast er than ever before are coming off the production lines in dizzying numbers and that the will to use the things is steadily mounting you can see that this race of ours might very well keep its fingers crossed when it does any looking to the future a word for the young people we hear plenty of unpleasant things said these days about the young people some of them are true but most of them are grossly exaggerated we saw a report recently of an organization which loudly proclaimed that the young people were going to the dogs and that something drastic should be done about it now for our part we think the young people are just as good and probably a whole lot better than they were years past certainly they are frank and sincere but isnt that a whole lot better than being so hypocritically prim and precise the young people today have double the temp tations to face that any previous generation faced they have greater problems to solve and they face them with a lot more courage than they are given credit for you occasionally hear an old person say that the young people are scatterbrained and yet glance over the list of university results for this section last week revealed that with the greatly increased studies the young people are still keeping in step with progress right in this small sect ion of ontario we have students passing difficult university courses with honors we see young men who have left high school only a few years holding responsible positions and conducting them with credit to themselves and their com munities no frankly we dont think the young folk are going to the dogs they may cuss a little more and perhaps even drink a little rrore but their hearts and their minds are right and theyll keep the old ship on a far straighter course than some of us imagine be patient and look to god tribune hears alberta premier declare social credit not a dead issue calgarv august 21 visitors to alberta from ontario natur ally wish to hear premier wm aberhart and the opportunity came to us on a sunday after noon when this man who has stirred all canada and caused rt hon w l m king more than one headache spoke at the calgary prophetic institute a baptist church built wholly through the initiative of the premier a heavy rain storm early in the afternoon is believed to have prevented many from attending the rally for it was estimated there were less than one thousand in the big building with seating accommodation for 1400 people i trust all our followers will remember that time and con viction are necessary be patient and look to the god in heaven and in due time he will perform declared the premier 35 years to start progress for the welfare of the people could only be accom plished by time and convic tions said the premier no great reform was ever accom plished in three years it usually took from three to live years to start a big reform movement the great things of life are pro duced by gradual change the more the people place their trust in god the faster will be the progress you have to get to the place where you say to whom else can we go and then we will get someplace when you come to the place where the application of social credit principles is the only solution it will be possible i can only repeat what i said three years ago if you havent suffered enough yet it is your godgiven right to suffer some more although this was a religious service western methods ap parently are not adverse to add ing a little bit of political talk into ones address and so it seemed to be well received when the premier fired a broadside at e l gray provincial leader of the liberal party in alberta after discussing and con demning mr grays program of roads social services etc mr aberhart talked his own plat form but he never forgot mr gray need purchasing power he knew that the people need ed more purchasing power so that they could enjoy the things they needed and the government was trying to give the people the necessary purchasing power mr aberhart said three years ago the people of alberta had de cided that christian principles must be applied to everyday life today the people are still of the same opinion that the old dog- eatdog debt creating system must be abolished the question was would it de stroy itself or would it destroy civilization will it be an order ly change or will it be chaos the application of the principles of jesus christ is the only hope for the people he said if you persist in supporting the present system everything you love will be in danger he declared he said he wanted to see the will of the people prevail and did not want to see a few get all the pleasures of life while the big majority were suffering in mis ery and want referring to the great war which had been call ed a fight for democracy he said would never be paid for dared the premier democracy our great objective was a good slogan for the anniversary day new industries rev elj hughes institute pastor who assisted the pre mier in the service read a letter from high river in which the writer said he wanted to take the laugh from the faces of those who think that social credit is at a dead end he did not agree with those who said the pre mier and the government had done nothing he said there was small attendance at the recent meeting addressed by mr gray liberal leader and ridiculed mr grays statement that it was due to harvest operations as the har vest had not commenced at that time the writer said heise gathering considers past l b heise host to seventy claiming his father as ancestor surely we have learned the lesson that we cannot get true democracy by force of arms for they that take the sword shall perish by the sword democracy is an attitude of mind and not an accomplish ment of action he said and added that if you dont care a snap of the fingers for the other fellow you cannot have true democracy there could be no true democracy without the live and letlive policy for chris tianity ill either go all the way with russia or put christianity where it belongs in everyday life de- descendants of the late christopher hejse spent an en joyable evening last week on the lawn of mi- l b heise the only surviving son of the heise
