It is * to be hoped that succes will not be taken for granted and that every citizen whose means permit will avail himself or herself of the opportunity of giving the fund a helping hand. It reflected much credit not only upon the contributors but also upon the canvassers and executives that the opening day of the drive saw the largest returns of any first day in past campaigns. This initial showing should not be permitted to lull us into a feeling of premature success. The campaign runs only for the six days of this week; therefore speed is imperative. One of the creditable features of the campaign in local factories and stores is that in many of them employees are signing up 100 per cent. Let's make the entire city as nearly 100 per cent. contributors as is possible. The objective is $55,000 but there is no reason why that figure should no', be exceeded. A Fair Return It is evident from early reports that the sale of the Canada Savings Bond is meeting steady response. It bears out conviction that thrift is one of the sturdiest fibres in Canadian character. As was to be expected, however, sales agencies report widely differing experiences in talking to potential customers. One question that seems to come up relates to the interest paid by the new security. "Why 234%" ? people ask. "Why not 3%"? It may be that these questions are prompted by some misunderstanding of the purpose of the Canada Savings Bond. The name itself provides a simple clue to this pur- pose. The new security is intended solely as a convenient form of personal savings, and in comparison to other forms of saving, has much to recommend it. The safety provided by the backing of the nation's resources, plus the feature of immediate redemption at 100 cents on the dollar is an at- tractive combination in any security. Coupled with these features, the rate of 2349 is a fair return, and is not ap- proached by other comparable forms of saving or investment available today. : The Partnership of Man Leaders of Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Jewish faiths in the United States a few days ago handed down one of the most remarkable declarations since the close of the! war--a declaration on economic justice. The declaration, signed by 122 church leaders, in brief calls for an organized and democratic partnership for the general welfare rather than a competitive struggle for indiyidual or group ad- vantage, and a recognition by men of gdodwill-of all religious 'faiths of the moral law. It calls for a partnership of man on a sound, economic, social, and moral basis, with a recog- nition that all men are brothers if not in the sight of man, in the eyes of Almighty God, and advocating the organization of workers, farmers, employees and professional people to assume responsibility for self-government and "ethical con- "duct," stresses that "man, acting as an individual, is all but powerless to bring economic life into subjection to God's law. Here in brief are the eight points of the declaration made by clergymen, educationists, editors and leaders of social and industrial relations groups, and, as already pointed out, of all religious faiths. 1. "The moral law must govern economic life." 2. "The material resources of life are entrusted to man by God for the benefit of all . . . the aim of economic life should be the widest possible diffusion of productive and consumptive property among the great masses of the people. Co-operatives, both of producers and consumers, can effec- tively assist in promating this end." 3. "The moral purpose of economic,life is social Justice + +. wages must be maintained at the level which will most effectively contribute to full employment. In many cases this will mean that wages must be raised above a standard family living wage, which is only the minimum requirement of justice . . . special efforts (should) be made to raise the earnings of sub-standard income groups, not only in justice to them, but also in the interest of continuous employment." 4. "The profit motive must be subordinated to the moral law." | 5. "The common good necessitates the organization of men into free associations of their own choosing." 6. "Organized co-operation of the functional économie groups, among themselves and with the governme:t must be substituted for the rule of competition." 7. "It is the duty of the state to intervene in economic life whenever necescary to.protect the rights of individuals and groups and to aid in the advancement of the general economic welfare." ; 8. "International economic life is likewise subject to the moral law." - The declaration points out that the only alternatives to the organized democratic partrership for the general wel- fare is a competitive struggle for individual or group ad- vantage, competitive economic individualism, private monopoly or excessive government intervention, all of which, {it says, are unacceptable under the moral law. "Valse Tri(e)ste" vl ad cui, --Whitelaw in the London Daily Herald ® From Readers DANGEROUS CORNER Editor Times-Gazette: Dear Sir: I often wonder along with lots of other drivérs when we are to get the long talked of traffic' signals at the corner of King Street and Ritson Road. Surely we have not got to wait until a serious accident at this corner happens, At noon today it took eight min- utes to get from G.M.C. office, across King Street. At five o'clock, the same distance, it took 12 min- utes, I would suggest putting a hand-operated go and stop sign there until our council wakes up.

Editor Times-Gazette: Dear Sir: Could you find a small space in your valuable paper for this note as I feel this is the time this should be brought to the at- tention of the people of Oshawa. I am a veteran of five years ger- vice recently discharged from the R.CAF. and have always been a member of the Y.M.C.A, before going in the service, and have found that the Y.M.C.A, has given all the lads 'of the servite 'a wonderful home away from home, and I know like myself we all miss the "Y" that we are now back on our own, I could not help but notice on the posters for the drive now on "The Red Feather Chest," YW.CA. was under the list of those to benefit by the results of this 'drive. Can it be that the people of a growing city like Osh- awa have no interest in the young men and boys of the city. I mean by this that the many organizations now doing much great and splen- did work in this growing city will allow the Y.M.C.A. building that is now owned by the city to be de- molished to make way for the new Post Office to be erected. As we all know the "Y" was closed when the city was much smaller but that | is no reason why it would not be of a great benefit to the young men of this growing city today. While other places much smaller than Oshawa are building Youth | Centres the question is, why should Oshawa tear them down just when | they should be a going concern. I'm sure that every citizen of Osh- awa would gladly do all in their power to aid financially to start this much needed organization again, | It would keep the younger lads off the street, and many of the older | ones off the street corners if they had a place to go to spend their that = the | 7 idle time.

The Globe and Mail FEARLESS POLICY - FIRST WITH THE NEWS A ® 25 Years Ago eo A Bit of Verse After a stormy debate in the Town Council, a motion to begin work on the Westmount sewer on Nassau Street was passed on Octob- er 20. Among other things the con- struction was to provide work for the many unemployed persons In the town. About $7,000 was to. be spent on the project and work was to start before the first frost. The opposition was led by Mayor Stacey and Councillor Ellis. Lt.-Col. Harry 8, Cameron was appointed commanding officer of the Ontario County Regiment (the old 34th). It was announced that Lt.-Col, Cameron, who was born in Beaverton and joined the regiment in 1903, would be out for the next regimental parade.

Marys Journal-Argus) While driving ¢hrough the States of Pennsylvania and Maryland last week, we noticed that almost ev- ery city and smal] town was equip~ ped with parking meters. We made no enquiries about the success of these machines, or how long they had been installed, but noticed that generally the parking of cars was very well controlled on their busi ness streets as the result of their use, The popularity of parking meters is beginning to be felt in Canada also, Not a few Ontario cities have had them installed on their streets, In St. Marys, new parking regula- tions are expected to be put into force in the near future, Perhaps they will be an adequate solution to the car parking problem. An hour-limit parking arrangement, if carried out properly, should ' be greatly superior, we feel, to park- ing meters, The latter would meet with considerable opposition from some quarters, whereas the time- limit parking idea seems to be reasonably popular and looks like the logical way to play fair with | every car driver in this community. | We should be .able to share We parking spaces of our business sec tion in a friendly fashion, or at least give it a trial, without the help of gadgets.
