These statements are valuable appraisals and the discerning reader will appreciate the thoughtful and temperate maner in which important public questions are discussed. The banker's proverbial prudence and sagacity are mellowed by a broad experience of many enterprises. The President of The Dominion Bank, Mr. C. H. Carlisle, and the Vice-President, Col. R. S. McLaughlin, are notable | industrial leaders and the Dominion Bank has been fortunate | in having the benefit of the wise counsel of these two very | successful men of affairs. : A substantial part of Mr. Carlisle's recent address was | occupied by his reference to human relationship. His tren- | chant comparison of the rights and privileges of the common | man in Canada as agalnst Russia and the amenities which | we enjoy in our daily life should cause us to ponder and re- | value our standards of living. The recognition of labour | unions, and his plea for greater judicial scope in settling | labor disputes are positive recommendations in his desire for | peace in industry. It may be that "big business" now subscribes to th philosophy of Jacob Marley's ghost, who, in Dickens' "Christmas Carol" says: "Business--mankind was my business. The com- mon welfare was my business; charity, mercy, for- bearance and benevolence, were all my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business." Compulsory Insurance At a recent meeting at Woodstock, the Oxford Pres- bytery of the United Church passed a resolution advocating | compulsory insurance for all automobiles, trucks or any! other vehicle using the public highways. The resolution was prompted by the many recent ac- cidents in which there were no insurance benefits. The | point is well taken. For a long time those who value their | lives and their autos have cried against the laxuess of the ! authorities in not compelling all to carry insurance. In fact we beifeve it would serve to cut down the number of accidents. y There is no reason why operators of jalopies or even | good vehicles should be permitted to drive without insurance. | Should they get into an accident the innocent party is unable ! to get recompense as it is often not possible to collect even by distress as there are not sufficient assets. To be sure they are prohibited by law from securing a license but in | some instances they drive until the law catches up with | them again. The Red Cross In Peace And War | Duncan McArthur of Toronto, wi- | eo A Bit of Verse PEOPLE ALWAYS WITH US The man who '"'grouses" all the time, 0 never is content; e person who's ne'er happy till He's left without a cent; The cheerful soul who laughs at fate And keeps his outlook Right; And those who pleasure still pursue Until the morning light; Those jumpers at conclusions, who Can never walt for facts; And those who show their meanness now In all their words and acts; The ple who 'give helping hands never count the cost; Those pessimists who thrive on woe And swear the world is lost; The unobtrusive people who Apply the golden rule; And parents who get worried if Their child's not first in school; The invalid whose courage is . Heroic all the time; And those who tw to vie with youth Although long past their prime; The obstinate and wilful folk, The weak and easy led; Those persons who can't shed their cares But take them straight to bed; It takes all sorts to make a world In our Creator's plan; But still man's interest supreme Is in his fellow-man. --William McClure. 167 Ross St., Welland. Ray Lawson (Continued from Page 1) of Mr, and Mrs. Matthews, when the new Lieutenant-Governor takes office Dec. 26. To those versed in constitutional procedure, the statement of the Premier indicated the Dominion Government had ignored the On- tario Government and the tradi- tional practise of consulting the Provincial Government before ap- pointing a Lieutenant-Governor. Mr. Lawson, who is president of nine companies in the printing and lithegraphing field and vice-presi- dent of several others, served dur- ing the war first as president, then as director of Federal Aircraft, Ltd., a Crown company. At his home in London last night. he said he looked on the approint- ment as an opportunity for service, and he added he and Mrs. Lawson were looking forward to taking over | the duties of the office. | "I have been endeavoring to get out. of active business for some time past and devote my time to cultural and other interests," he added. Mr. Lawscn and his sister, Mrs. | dow of the late Ontario Education | Minister, spensored the Lawson | Memorial Library at the University cf Western Ontario, "I have never taken part in poli- tics except to exercise my fran- chice," he said: "I have a farm four miles out of London and that is my hcbby.

Barton, Domin- ion Deputy Minister of Agriculture said at the opening session of the Dominion-Provincial Agricultural Conference in Ottawa on December 2. This survey disclosed that sericus gaps existed in the fcod supply and that shortages would continue for | at least another year and probably longer. It was difficult to iet workl picture of the fcod situation and a goed jch was done. The sur- vey is being kept up to date. At the beginning of 1946 both the | President of the United States and the British Food Minister stated si- multaneously that there was a world | | hitching food crisis. The situation was dis® cussed by the Foreign Ministers of | some cf the United Nations and it was agreed that special immediate action wculd have to be taken and further plans for dealing with it. Eventually a world allocating agen- cy was recommended by FAO to replace the Combined Fcod Board. This agency. is now the Interna- tional Emergency Focd Council. It will function until the end of 1947 or as long as shortages in basic foodstuffs continued. Abcut 30 coun- tries are represented on the Coun- cil.

RAR RK AK ory jo WB ht I [AN | i 2 J) The work of the Canadian Red Cross Society during the | second great war and in the days of peace, with details of | expanding humanitarian services, is reviewed in an able and | interesting: manner in a new book 'History of Ontario Red | Cross," which has come to the editorial desk of this news- paper. It is written by Major E. H. A. Watson, Field-Secre- tary of the Society 1939-46. It's 90 pages, bound in green buckram, gold-lettered, tell an enthralling story. The preface is a history of the founder of the Red Cross, | Henri Dunant, a Swiss. The book then 'deals with the Red Cross in World War I, the decade 1919-29, the great depres- sion 1829-39; then World War II, followed by the names of | officers and executives for the period. Unfolded is the story | of war relief at home and abroad, the splendid work among | prisoners of war, the blood donor service, the Junior Red | Cross, a truly inspiring panorama of healing and mercy. | Then the domestic picture embracing outpost hospitals, | nursing services, public health endeavours, the facts too little known, all these become luminous highlights. Following World War I, the extent and nature of which, we feel, are often overlooked by the public, the Canadian Red Cross Society became decentralized into Provincial Units and local organizations the more effectively to ad- minister its vast undertakings. The Ontario Division raised and expended more than $33,147,000 between 1939-45 and the work goes on from day to day as we enter a new peace- time era.
