' DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for, JULY 10,284 MONDAY, AUGUST 27, 1951 pap Director. Absence of Planning Since the beginning of the present year, here has been more than the usual number 4 of industrial strikes in Canada and the Unit- § od States. It has been almost impossible to nick up a newspaper without finding refer- once to strikes in some branch of industry. Historians talk learnedly about how labor | roubles always accompany a business re- " "sival, and economists compute the losses. suf- 'ered by employers, workers and the public Krough such disturbances. But what all fail o realize is that a troubled labor picture is ' 'in reality a first-class object lesson. A strike, in the final analysis, is nothing more or less than an outbreak of this "in- lividualism" dbout which we hear so much. {0 be a little more specific, it indicates the -omplete absence of any kind of planning in che particular economy where the strike *akes place. It is a sign that the industry '3 drifting along with the stream, that both 'ides are thinking of the problem in the erms of immediate personal advantage and | not in terms of long-run public interest. We hasten to add that it is only natural 'hat they should do so. The industrialist aust rivet his attention on his profit-and- oss figures. The worker has to think first of his pay envelope. To expect them volun- tarily to do anything else would be to an- | licipate thé millenium. But the point is that the strike, with all he waste that it involves, is part of the price we pay for the rule of individualism in our economic life. One of the things.that makes us loathe to. realize this is the fact 'hat when one starts talking about the alter- natives to industrial individualism, one be- ins to get into deep water. The people of this country see no good reason at all why they should copy the Russian method of handling such things. Costly as strikes may be, most of us would prefer to put up with them rather than to get rid of them via either Communism or Fascism. But that need not prevent us from continuing the effort to discover whether there is not some way of so modifying the rule of individualism that -its benefits can se retained while its costly drawbacks can be discarded. Looking for Expansion Giving thought to the welfare of Canada is essential to its progress. Today, the people of. Canada are thinking in terms of expan- sion. Not in territory, for there is no more available on this continent not. already al- lotted. But there is a determination to extend opportunities, to increase production, to add to population, to possess wider markets, to develop national character, to build deeper foundations sufficient to support a great superstructure of idealism such as many are visioning for Canada of the future. Every step of progress from the beginning of time has been preceded by the thoughts of some man or woman. Men have tried to im- prove natural conditions. They changed the face of nature by giving material expression to their thoughts. : Great industrialists and agriculturists have studied in.season and out of season to find out the cause of specific manifestations. The agricultural specialists took the kernels of wheat and improved them by discovering, through much study and thought, the ele- ments of growth in the soil and in the air. The perfection of Canadian wheat resulted igsgely from the studies of one man, Sir arles E. Saunders, whose labors brought millions of dollars to farmers of Canada alone, not to speak of the benefits to those of other nations. Edison was a thinker. He was never satis- fied with things as they were. So he studied while others played, and hi discoveries in many fields have entertained and illuminated the world. y Today, we must constantly be thinking ahead. We must continue to seek improve- ments that will benefit not only our 07n nation in the march of its progress, but also the world at large. - What Is a Canadian? We are citizens of Canada, either by birth or by adoption and naturalization. We are citizens of the Commonwealth. Our skins may be brown, or yellow or black or white, but we are Canadians. Our name may be Podolski, Fraser, Wong, Sper- manti, Dubois, Schmidt or Jones. Our fore- fathers may have come from Glasgow, Prague, Tokyo, {isin Dublin, Bordeaux, Rot- terdam or Newcastle. We may be laborer, student, doctor, merchant, or machinist. Whatever we are, whatever our occupa- tion, whatever our background, if we accept Canada as our country, and with it the demo- cratic way of life, we are Canadians. We have the right to speak freely, to wor- ship freely, but with these rights we must learn our duties, to speak wisely, to worship wisely, to choose our leaders wisely. We inherit, along with 14 million Cara- dians a vast continent, abounding in re- sources and opportunities for a good, healthy and a happy life. We inherit two great cultures -- the An- glo-Saxon and the French -- and more than thirty others as well. We are creating out of these a new and growing Canadian tul- ture. We are at the dawn of great things, for us and our country. We are the builders of a great and free nation, of a great and free people. It's great to be a Canadian. --Kiwanis International Magazine, Editorial Notes In Montreal caviar is cheaper than prime spring lamb.

They defray at least two-thirds of their ex- penses and are not paid for the work. The would-be seekers of univer- sity degrees sweep floors, make beds and act as everything from gymnastic instructors to lectur- ers. Canadian volunteers who came here in June include two theologi- cal students from Emmanuel Col- lege, University of Toronto. They are Bill Glenesk, 24, and Jack Lougheed, 26, both .Toronto-born. They came to England with the same objective-experience in so- cial work, Glenesk is working with Dock- land Settlement No. 9 -- an area severely damaged by German raiders, Because of the damage, Bill does not "live in." He visits the club room afternoons and even- ings and much of his time is spent. with the 12-year-olds. "They are typical young Cock- neys", said Bill: "Sharp as razors witty and much more difficult to handle than Canadian youngsters of the same age. Canadian young- sters answer to group psychology much more readily." The settlements also include men's and women's clubs, There are dances, adult lectures, organ- ized outings and other social events, Organized tours of continental countries are arranged and Bill was one of two workers in charge of a group of 16 youngsters on a tour of Brittany and Paris. Glenesk and Lougheed have been separated most of the summer. They return to Canada together Sept. T. Grandmothers Honored By W.I.

After the roll call, "Grandmother's favor- ite- saying," community singing of old time songs was enjoyed. Mrs. Morley Flintoff," convener of Historical Research and Current Events was in charge of the pro- gram, Mrs. W. H. Brovaa spoke on the motto "I admire elderly ladies" and gave the grandmothers present an uplift of spirit as she enumerated the inner beauties of character and spirit which come through years of living and which surely add to beauty of features. Mrs. Brown concluded with an appropriate poem "Granny." A number of grandmothers sang in chorus, "My Darling Nellie Gray" and "Juanita" with grandmother, Mrs. C. H. Snowden at the piano. Mrs. M. M. Munday read a poem, "My Gran- ny. Mrs, Ivison Munday introduced the guest speaker, Mrs. J. 8S. Ever- ett of Bowmanville. Mbps. Everett, who before coming to Bowmanville, resided in Montreal, spoke on the early history of the founding of Montreal and gave an interesting picture of the steady settlement up the mountainside of the land- marks of the present old historical city. . Mrs. W. H, Brown thanked the guest speaker and the grandmoth- ers on behalf of the members for a most enjoyable program. A social hour was enjoyed with refreshments served by Mrs, Flintoff and her group. Dr. and Mrs. L. H. Coates and son, Danny, Brantford, were week- end visitors with Mrs. L. C. Snow- den and called on other friends. Miss Hazel McCrea, Prince Al- bert, was a recent guest of Miss | Susie Laird. Mrs. C. H. Snowden spent the week-end in Toronto and. Hamil- ton. A miscellantous shower was held in the basement of the church on Monday evening for Miss Jean Bur- gess, bride-to-be, with Mrs, Jean Edwards, Mrs. Doreen Doyle, Miss- es Ruth Preston and Dorothy Snow- den as co-hostesses. The bride- to-be received many useful gifts and after unwrapping the parcels, she thanked all for the lovely gifts and invited all to her trousseau tea on Saturday. A dainty lunch was served and a social time en-! joyed. Mrs. Bob Johnston (Pearl Colla- cutt) and Mrs. John Noble, were co-hostesses for a miscellaneous shower for Miss Jean Burgess held at the home of Pearl's parents, Mr. and Mrs. L.

Sales of . $18,570,00 are the highest in history and are an in- crease of $1,069,000 or 6.1 per cent over previous peak of $17,501,000 last year. { There has been a steady rise in the cost of all ingredients and sup- plies used in the manufacture and distribution of bakery products, as well as increases in wage rates, without a compensating adjustment in selling prices, "states A. V. Loftus, President. The results of the year under review, which repre- sent a net profit of less than one cent on each.dollar of sales, reflect the continuing inadequacy of sell- ing prices for bakery products gen- | erally. { The program of factory modern- ization, started in the previous year, | has been completed at an approxi- mate cost of $1,200,000, continues Mr. Loftus. Many of the larger plants have been re-equipped with the most modern productive facili- ties. The program has improved the high quality of the Company's products and the efficiency of op-| erations.

C. W. Doucett, secretary of Lo- cal 11 of the Marine and Shipbuild- ers Union, said the United Steel- workers of America are carrying on a "full-scale raid' on Marine union members in Lakehead ship- yards.

(CP) -- De- fence ter Claxton told a group of offfers-in-training today that Canada wants nothing "second rate" 'about her armed forces and that she will 'continue to set her sights high to get the best officers "During the last four years I have emphasized officer training to the point of meeting criticism on the score that our standards were too high," Mr. Claxton said' in a speech prepared for delivery. But this emphasis, he added, has been justified by the 'fine record of the troops in Korea, and in all the various exercises, as well as by the job that has been done in expanding the forces by more than 75 per cent during the last 12 months.'" i Mr. Claxton spoke before more than 50 officers-in-training, complet ing their first eight weeks of train- ing under the new direct entry plan. They now will be split among various corps units to get more practice in leadership. Detailing the picture on army of- ficers, Mr. Claxton estimated that Canada has about 26,292, with with 10,323 on active service, 8,648 in reserve units and 7,321 as candi- dates in training. In addition there were some 57,- 000 veteran officers with service in the Second World War, enough to give Canada a good start in the event of all-out war in the next two or three years. But still more were needed "so.as to ensure at any time adequate numbers to meet any need." However, quality had to be kept in mind. The only thing more ex- pensive than education was ignor- ance, Mr. Claxton noted that part of the group were French - speaking Canadians. He hoped the comrade- ship established between the Eng- lishr and French - speaking groups "will persist and grow throughout your service careers."

Metcalfe ' Summer Is Waning T= summertime is waning now The season so serene . . o INSIDE QUEEN'S PARK Toronto -- The Canadian Con- gress of Labor threw quite a curve at the government when it asked Premier Frost to arbitrate the checkoff issue in the Hollinger strike at Timmins. If Mr. Frost had agreed it would have put him nicely on the spot. In his decision he would have had to tackle the tough checkoff issue head on. So far the government has been able to pretty well avoid any very committal statement on this contro- versial question. Two years ago it had to debate it in the house. There was a strong report that at one time during the session it intended to incorporate it into legislation. However when the time came much to the cha- grin of €. H. Millard, the CCF labor leader, it didn't do so. It took the position that such matters were better left to collective bargaining. At the time, despite strong at- tacks from the opposition, it man- aged to escape much argument on the moral principles of the check- off. And since it has managed to not get involved in the issue. If Mr. Frost had been manoeuvr- ed into entering the Timmins con- troversy, however, he hardly could have avoided it. The CCF request specifically ask- ed Mr. Frost to handle the check- off aspect, which is the major ob- Frost and the Check-off stacle. And in view of the natun of the strike and its extreme grav- - ity to the important town, he would - have to go quite extensively into the whole question in his findings. - And these findings couldn't be brought down on the basis of broad principle but on the facts regarding the particular company and union. Presumably there would be a good chance that the premier « might find it desirable in this case that there should be a checkoff, . despite his views on principle which in the light of the government pol- - icy must be that shouldn't be complusory for all labor and in- dustry. He might even explain his position regarding the principle itself in his decision, but once he found that . in this case there should be a check off he would be in a position hard - to defend before the public if the government didn't then make it compulsory by law. Even if he denied it to the Hol- . linger employes he would still be on the spot in that he would have . to deal with principle and his . decision would provide ammuzsition . for his labor opponents. In the light of this alone (and . there are many other non-political reasons why he shouldn't have agreed to the request) one doesn't have to wonder why he shelved the arbitration. 130 Timmins 'Miners Draw Their Time , Timmins (CP) -- One hundred and thirty of 1600 striking miners at the Hollinger mine have "drawn their time," it was learned here Sunday. That means they have taken their money out of the company's mutual saving plan and if they wish to work again at Hollinger they must lose 2ll seniority and start at the bottom. Miners deposit $3 into the fund every two weeks; the company puts in $2. After an employe has five year's service, the company adds a lump sum to his total. Reports said that some of the men had drawn their money be- cause they had found jobs else- where and moved away. Others had immediate need for the money. The Hollinger miners walked off their jobs July 9 asking higher wages and a union dues check-off, Drew Demands Price Controls Hamilton (CP) --George Drew, national leader of the Progressive Conservative party, Saturday called for immediate price controls over consumer goods. He told 1500 persons attending a Hamilton and district party asso ciation picnic that runaway infla- tion could be halted in the long - run only by increased production, But in the short run, he said, it could be checked by price control at the consumer level.
