Ontario C.C.F. President Claims S THE OSHAWA D AILY TIMES-GAZE 'Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle WHITRY VOL. 10--No. 17 OSHAWA-WHITBY, SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1951 PAGE THREE Albert Street United M.and M. Fund Exceeds Objective By 50 P. C. Continued material progress and | healthy spiritual growth in the life of Albert Street United Church | were shown at the annual meeting | of the church held last night, under | the chairmanship of the minister Rve. S. C. H. Atkinson. The reports presented to the congregation by the many church organizations and groups showed a keen awakening in| the spiritual consciousness of the membership, and a large measure | of devotion to the welfare of the church. Particular emphasis was laid on the splendid missionary ef- fort of the congregation, which, in its g'vings to the Missionary and Maintenance Fund, exceeded its quote for 1950 by approximately fifty per cent. In spite of a disturbed year ow- ing to a change in pastoral rela- tions which left the church with-| out a minister for about two months, there was a healthy growth in mem- bership, the church now naving an active membership roll of 376, in- cluding twelve non-resident mem- bers and six shut-ins on the rolls. Three members had been removed by death during the year, and a brief period of silent meditation was observed in their memory. $15,007 Raised After making allowances and de- ductions for dyplications in the re-| ports, it was shown that the total | funds raised by the church and its| various groups during the year 1950 | amounted to close to $15,000 about $2,000 more than in 1949. A grati- fying feature was that an indebted- | ness of some years standing, incur-| red in installing the new organ and | amounting to $1,050, had been com- | pletely wiped off during the year, | and the general accounts of the church were closed with a balance | on hand of $679.03. Total receipts in the general fund, including grants | of $1,650 from the women's organi- zations of the church, amounted to $8,228.96, a substantial increase over the previous year. Organizations Funds Receipts reported by the various | hurch organizations 'and funds! were as follows; Missionary and] Maintenance Fund, $1,737.72; Organ | Load Fund, $625.00; Golden Links, $1,497.46; Senior W. A, $1,833.66; Junior W. A., $533.10; Choir, $256.88; Radio Fund, $594.25; Sunday School, $852.26; Sunday School special fund, $191.05; G. G. I. T. funds, general, $99.88; camp .funu, $43.52; Explor- | ers, $24.40; Men's Own Fellowship, | $38.68; parsonage building fund up| to Dec. 31, $285.00. | Healthy Sunday School A bright spot in the report was the splendid record the Sunday | school, which now nas seven offi-| cers, 32 teachers and 329 scholars | on the roll. Reporu. were given of | the C. G. I. T. activities for the year, | with special reference being made | to the operation of Camp ® retoria. | The budget for 1951, calling for | general expenditures of $8475 for the operation of the church, and representing an iucrease of $700 over the 1950 budget, was adopted unanimously by the congregation, Officers Named Election of church officers and pfficials for 195i resulted a. fol- ows; Church Session; Mrs. H.

She found two well formed pansies in full bloom out in the open in her garden with no shelter to protect them. In ad- dition to the two blooms she brought another pansy plant to The Times-Gazette office which had a large cluster of leaves which gave no evidence of hav- ing been touched by frost.

COMPANY TORONTO. ocialism Only Hope o 2 4 Says Capitalism Miller Stewart, President in many fields. During his The full test of Mr. Stewart's Fails To Develop Natural Resources of the Ontario C.C.F. party, charged here last night that socialism is the only way that Canada will develop "because capitalism is too slow, too aim- less, and too timid and greedy for our good." Addressing a well attended Ontario Riding C.C.F. 'Association Federal Nominating Convention in Hotel Genosha, he maintained that "most of Canada's greatest resources are still undeveloped, because our capital didn't have the imagination and the cour- age to develop them" and claimed that Canada has developed a pathetic "kid sister" dependence upon the United States inspiring address "Common Sense and the Commonwealth," Mr. Stewart touched briefly on matters such as Canada's coal industry, natural gas, iron- ore, oil, research, patents and the attitude of research. &- Lo address is as follows: "When the majority report of the first. conciliation board in the re- cent railway dispute came down, it said: "The fact is, that the Unit- ed States possesses a richer and more mature economy than Can- ada, and that, presently, at any rate, our production is not such as to afford us so high a st@ndard of living as there is in the United States. Under present conditions, SENSIBLE Canadians will, as they must, accept the fact that the earnings of thé' average Canadian are less than those of the average resident of the' Unitéd States." "Do you know how that piece of dismal thinking was 'received by Canada's press -- and 'by Canada's politicians and by Canada's business men? It was accepted as good, sound common sense. "I accept the fact that the stan- dard of living in Canada is lower than it is in the United States -- but 1 don't accept it as reasonable -- or sensible -- or unavoidable. I think our standard of living is lower here because our technology is weaker, our industry more back- ward, our venture capital more greedy -- and more timid -- and our whole economy far too depen- dent upon the United States for know-how, for research, and for money to develop our country. But the hardest thing of all to take, is the fact that Canadian capital, management, and government have all accepted the situation as natural] and unavoidable. Cites Auto Industry "They -- Canadian capital, man- agement, and government -- think it is perfectly reasonable that Can- ada's auto workers should get 25¢ an hour less than American auto- workers, when the cost of living is just as high as it is in the US, and the price of cars is 30 percent higher. They say that that kind of a situation makes sense because our population is less, our re- sources less, and our distances greater than across the line. They accept these poor, old excuses, and ignore the factors of stronger monopolies, more absentee owner- ship, poorer management, and capi- tal that won't invest nickel until they can see dollars in returns, nailed down and guaranteed. Most of Canada's greatest resources are still undeveloped, because our capi- tal didn't have the imagination and the courage to develop them. "Canada has developed a pathetic "kid sister" dependence upon the United States in many fields. This dependence has stifled Canada's native industrial development, and retarded her exploitation of her own great resources. American in- dustrial chaperonage has made Canada as squeamish and jittery about striking out on her own, as a sheltered, wealthy old maid, miles from her trust company. "The twentieth hailed as Canada's century --- is now half gone, while resources we knew about as fast as one of Greenland's glaciers. Canada has kept most of the ten talents God gave her se- curely buried, and has handed over to her enterprising neighbour most of the first fruits of what she has produced. With miles of open frontier left for an expanding economy, Canada stands still as a "branch office" country, restrain ed by alien budgets, held back by stand-pat board rooms, and hobbled by the most timorous native ven. ture capital anyone ever heard of, "Up until now, Canada has im=- ported most of her fuel, oil and iron; and in all these products, she has resources of great extent. Some of Canada's reluctance to press her own advantage in re- sources, arises from the failure of her early, and premature, advances. But because ice-cream and candy didn't get anywhere in Grade Six is no reason to refuse to try orchids and cocktails now that we're both much older, Coal "Only the United States has greater reserves of coal than Cane ada (most of it in the sparsely populated provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan). It is quite true that new methods of transporta- tion and mining would have to be developed to get that fuel to where it is needed, economically. The point is, that almost no move has been made in that direction. Nobody has really tried liquefying our coal, or making it into gas and shipping it by pipeline, or even converting it into electricity at. the pithead. We still ape the old-and very ex- pensive-method of mining and shipping coal .by the lump. It costs only about 5 or 10 percent as much to ship gas by pipeline as it does coal by the lump. Scobland is converting her peat into gas and electricity on an economical basis, but Canada keeps on buying Penn- sylvania anthracite, no matter how costly, and our own coal re= sources will lie there until our de- scendants gather up enough initia« tive -- and somebody else puts up the capital -- to do the job right, "The House of Commons has just had a bill, sponsored by the top- heavy Liberal majority, jammed through in spite of opposition. filie. bustering, "which opens the way to exporting Alberta's abundant nate ural gas to Oregon, Washington, and California, while British Col= umbia clamors for the fuel, and Ontario brings in natural gas from Texas. What kind of economia sense does this make, particularly when no attempt has heen made to convert Alberta gas into gasoline, They're doing it in the US, and in Czechoslovakia, now. "In 1896, the iron ore deposits on the Quebec-Labrador border were discovered and explored. The rich- ness of the ore, and the extent of the ore body, were described then. These are only now being developed by a combination of the interests of the Hannas of Cleveland, and Hollinger gold mines. It will be years before Canada gets any benefit from these riches. Fifty years ago, the iron deposits of Steep Rock, in Ontario, were found, Now, after 'development by Cleve= land and Chicago money, the ors from this -great find goes to United States producers, while Canada's steel companies use US pig iron RESOURCES (Continued on page 5) Directed by Sarah Quin © FEB. 1 8.30 é § Anyone interested in any phase contact C.R.A., Phone 1800.
