The tax arrears to the end of 1945 are now less than $1000, a new record low for this town, and I think we are leaving the town in just as good if not better shape than ever before."

Said Deputy Reeve and Reeve- elect Andrew Muir, "I don't know whether to give the retiring mem- bers my sympathy or my congra- tulations, but they are certainly not leaving a sinking ship. No member of the Council has anything to be ashamed of although I am sorry to see s0 many dropping out." At last night's meeting the ac- counts were passed, including the paying of the honorariums to the various members, Only three mem- bers of the Council missed a regular meeting during the year, and not une of them missed more than one meeting, so that onlf three men drew less than the total amount for their year's work.

Christmas carols are particularly adaptable to group singing and are never more impressive than when sung by street carolers who sing as they walk in the quiet of the evening. It is a custom that is not common in Canada, although prac- ticed to a limited extent, but is very popular in some parts of Europe. SKATE EXCHANGE We very much doubt if there are more than half a dozen pairs of skates in Whitby basements that will not see service this winter, be- cause they don't fit. We have been so deluged with skates that we've lost count of the number handled but it can't be much less than a hundred pairs. Those youngsters who did exchange skates are in- debted to Gord Howes, John Heard, Bud Dilling, Phil Burkhart and Chuck Cumberland for making the Skate Exchange possible.

"Listen In" -- To... "Church Cannot Stay Neutral Towards Labor And Labor Problems" "There is no doubt in. my mind that the labor Union Movement 18 the most significant factor and most powerful social and econo- mic force in our modern civiliza- tion. This was stated by Rev, F. T, Darnell, the minister of the Baptist Church on Sunday even- ing speaking upon the subject "Would Jesus Join a Labor Un- fon " No institution, said the minis- ter, that 'hopes to influence the moral and social life of the world in our time can remain neutral in its attitude to the Labor Union Movement, It is felt, I know, in many quarters that the Christian Church should retain a neutral position with respect to the Labor question, The fact is, we cannot remain neutral upon one of the most vital moral 'issues of our time and count as a saving force in the world while we do so. If we cannot Christianize industry we might as well confess our fail- ure to make a Christian nation or a Christian world at all, We must never forget that Je- sus was a laboring m:n, he was a member of the peasant class and lived under the social ard econo- mic. conditions imposed upon that class in his day, When Christ spoke of the problems of the lab. oring man He spoke as one of that class with first-hand information of the subject. Didn't Play At Socialism Christ was no aristocrat play- ing at being a Socialist, He was born and brought up in the home and surroundings of laboring peo- ple. When Jesus said that the la- borer is wothy of his hire he means exactly what he sald, that the laborer is worth exactly what he earns in the economy of any century or system, The question for the Industrialist to face in the Light of the Christian message is not, "What should I pay to lab. or in relation to what has always been paid for such service." "The question is what should be paid "THE OLD RANCH HOUSE" An All-Request Program Every Saturday Night (8:00 to 8:15 p.m.) OVER AA == CKDO.. 1240 Your Dial!

It is no Christian approach to the Labor problem to ask, what is the legal minimum I can succeed in paying for the utmost service, There can be no lasting or satis- factory settlement of the Labor Industry problefa that does not take into an honest consideration the profits that industry receives as well as the wages that Labor receives, Must Settle Problem Christ as we know Him in the New Testament would never have admitted into the circle of His discipleship any man whose chief concern is to get the most and to give the least, Any industry that would. claim the right to be called Christian must settle this prob. lem of the wages that Labor is to receive in the light of the profits that Labor produces by its skill and effort. No system in whien profits can rise two hundred per cent and wages four per cent can be called a Christian answer to the Labor question, There must be a Christian ap- proach on the part of Labor also sald the minister, The Labore too, if he would find a place if Christ's economy of things, mug be prepared to return an honest measure of value, Labor must build its program upon a broad foundation of service for all mankind, I am positive that where indus. try takes a Christian interest in Labor's side of the situation and, Labor takes a Christian interest in industry's side of it, there will emerge a co-operative economy in which justice will prevail and from which prosperity will issue, The final question for all classes is how Christian are we prepared to be in our relations with all other people, Carols and special music by congregation and the choir under the direction of Mrs. Summers were part of the evening service, Card of Thanks Mrs, Phillp O. Crawford and son Glenn, wish to express their sincere thanks and appreciation to the friends and neighbors for kindness and sym- pathy extended them during their re- cent sudden and sad bereavement in the loss of a dear husband and father.
