defeated in Ontario because high prices for coarse grains plus transportation means high feed cost for On tario farmers What we are really disap pointed by of course is not jo much what has been said but the whole lot that has not been said One could have reason ably expected two factors to emerge from a Conservative principle of free enterprise and its Implication to farmers In our opinion this would have been a credit policy to enable the farmer and the farm industry in general to obtain the kind of credit that would bring the present method of production up to the most mod ern standards and make our produce competitive The other should have been the emergence of one individual or small group of men who could have been Identified as the farm expert of party After all In foreign policy in domestic affairs or in financial matter one man as a rule is identified as the party spokes man Over the years these men have contributed to the politi cal life of the country They should by rights

TURN FOR THE BETTER One of the drawbacks to editorial prognostications is the fact that we are occasionally wrong and when our readers have long it can be Once in a really rare while we are not only wrong but glad we were Now that the Santa Claus parade is over and every one admits that it was a howling success our only com ment is Its about time With a sigh of relief we fee that civic spirit in Newmarket which gave an excellent imitation of being absolutely dead was really only dor- In the past this town has displayed about as much civic enthusiasm as the Deserted Village and the citiz ens about as much interest as Old Dog Tray slumbering by the fireside While other towns in the county pride- fully built community centres and tore into worth while civic projects Newmarkets record was generally a bang of enthusiasm followed by a sudden fizzle into apathy We have a Chamber of Commerce We know that be cause we have seen notices of its meetings but looking for the results of these meetings has been more difficult than trying to find a Scot with a sense of humor For years we heard talk about a swimming poo We expected to sec it when swamp lilies grew in Death Valley Desert Now that the contract has been signed for its construction we are beginning to feel that the town is moving i The swimming pool has been started but the comm ittee needs more money to complete its work We have a beautiful library one that would be a credit to any town but it needs books We have a centennial coming and it should be a good one These are worthy projects but only the citizens of Newmarket can make them a suc cess There Is plenty of room this year for action on the part of the Chamber of Commerce Instead of lying on their backs and howling about the iniquities of a shopp ing centre members should work to transform the main street into as good a shopping centre as anyone could desire They could adopt any of the present betterment programs or think of one of their own The chamber could and should be a leader in community life If it ever takes a definite stand on any question or adopt a program for any action and we dont drop dead from shock well give three rousing cheers For too long loo many people have been content to sit back and let others shoulder the responsibility and the work when it came to community projects A town that wishes for constant improvement cannot allow the work to bo done by a small group of civic minded people It is a matter of simple justice that when everybody bene fits everybody should help Nothing is going to be accom plished by waiting to see what the arc going to do and then acting accordingly coming year is go ing to give the people of Newmarket a chance to sec what they really are NEWMARKET MAYORS MESSAGE i z within the were

The churches arc attempting to pro a more moral society to ell minute social evils work of the utmost importune and It Is carried on with and devotion Unfortunately It Is only moderately successful churches have great re sources at their command Their Incomes ore greater than those of all other social agencies com bined Their property Is vast and largely taxexempt Their personnel Is numerous and

through weekly radio talks wo Impelled In why chin are not more effective than they are Gnu scorns to that many churches continue to treat nodal evils as sins and lo seek remedies by calling on society to repent trouble with approach is that society has no conscience Only Individuals have consciences Hence it is Impossible to social re form by making a catalogue of social sins calling on the congregation to repent Most of the church congregations have not been guilty of dopc-peddl- lug robbery forgery or murd er Therefore attempt to produce a sense of guilt by dil ating on such Is a comp lete boomerang It does not the congregation feel sin ful it gives very comfortable feeling of innocence How dif ferent would bo effect If the evils presented prob lems requiring action by congregation Another weakness In the ap proach of churches Is their Inveterate tendency to seek specific for all our soc ial problems In or ev en in the Now Testament Why that should so is something of mystery In
