THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. South, Oshawa, Ont, Page 6 Saturday, July 14, 1956 Opportunity And Challenge To Canada's The strike of steel workers in the United States presents an opportunity and challenge to the Canadian steel in- dustry. This strike, if if is continued over a lengthy period of time, as seems likely at the moment of writing, will have a direct effect on the economy of Canada. It will mean shortages of steel for important construction jobs and for many branches of industry. That. in turn, will mean unemployment for considerable numbers of Canadian workers. This, of course, arises from the fact that Canada is dependent on the United States for a large proportion of the steel which is used in this country. Fur- ther, if as a result of the settlement of the strike in the United States, wages are increased, as also seems like- ly, the direct effect will be to increase prices for steel in this country. This GUEST EDITORIAL Steel Industry flows unerringly from our dependence on the United States for so much of the steel we require. The opportunity and challenge which confronts the Canadian steel industry, is that it expands to such an extent as to make this country self-dependent for steel. With much of the raw material for' the U.S. steel plants emanating from Canada, surely it would be the better part of wisdom to have these materials processed in Canada through an enlarged steel industry which would give more employment to Canadians. It is true that in recent years Canada's steel output has increased, and the next year or two will see further expansion of the capacity of Canadian steel plants. Our steel industry, however, should not be satisfied uni it has reached a status of providing all of this country's re- quirements of steel--and then having something left over for export. 'Joy In The Christian Life By VEN. H. D. CLEVERDON Joy- There is so much joy in the Christian life. How do we come to that joy ? Through the grace of God. Bit by bit, very slowly, after many falls, after many struggles, after many fights with our own self-will, God will teach us, if we will go on trying, to give ourselves entirely to Him; His will becomes our will. Then more and more we shall eome to know what is the joy which no one oan take away from Chist's people. Perhaps we know a little of that joy now. Has God ever let us do something for Him? Has He ever accepted a piece of self-denial? Can there be anything that brings more joy than to be able to know that one has pleased God? That joy comes in very simple ways. Then, again, slowly in some cases, quickly in others, the joy of God's for- giveness comes, the joy of feeling Him all around us, knowing that He hears our prayers, that we can take all our troubles to Him, that when a pleasure somes to us we can thank Him quite simply for it. The joy comes too, of mowing that really and truly we would mot willingly mor willfully sin against Wim; and He gives joy in His worship, Joy im His Holy Word as we read Tax Suggestions At the end of May, it is reported, Canada's treasury had sequired a sur- plus of $274 million. Opposition mem- bers of the House of Commons have seized upon this as a pretext for de- manding that the government should immediately make substantial tax re- ductions 10 use up this interim surplus, By #0 doing, claims Donsld Fleming, MP. for Toronto Eglinton, the govern. ment would be returning to the people ot least some of the surplus taxes taken from them. This, of course, is excellent political propegands. But it is not a very prac- tical suggestion. It hes always been the case that the government has a sub- stantizl surplus in the first two or three months of a fiscal year. This is because of the closing deadline of April 30 for income tax payments, The large surplus at the end of May of this year was the direct result of greatly increased in- come tax receipts based on 1955 in- come, and because of the fact that gov- ernment spending on its 19566-1957 bud- get is not yet fully under way. Past ex- perience has shown that large surpluses in May assume quite normal propertions The Daily Times-Gazette T. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Manager, M.

Yes, He brings joy, joy in His holy comfort, that is, the encouragement given to us. God is good; He does strengthen us by encouraging us. And this rejoicing is meant to help us serve Him better. Nothing can witness for Christ so well as the daily life of an encouraged Christian . . . one who is not afraid: one who bears small vexations, disa- ppointments, almost with a laugh. A Christian who is joyful can be merry and full of fun, because he or she is like a child, always in the sight of a loving Father, whose love keeps the merriment and fun always holy, pure, modest. A joyful Christian is strong, not afraid of being laughed at, not a- fraid to trust God. . This rejoicing will come if we pray. There is no life which brings one real joy except the life of a Christian; but the rejoicing does not always, though it does sometimes, seem easy. What can we do to make this thought of joy bear fruit? Little beginnings are worth much. Can we be more cheer- ful? Can we look more on the bright side? Can we be braver to fight against some temptation? , . . it may be self- indulgence, temper, idleness? The joy of the Lord is my strength. Are Premature by the time the end of the fiscal year comes around. We think, naturally, that it would be a splendid thing if income and other taxes were reduced immediately. We would be all for it if the overall finan- cial pieture of the treasury justified it, It would, however, be very risky, on the basis of experience of only two months of the fiscal year, to tamper with the present basis of taxation, It is just pos- sible that tax revenues for the second half of the fiscal year might not mess- ure up to the standards of the first two months, and the government would then he under just as heavy fire from the opposition for reducing taxes be- yond what the treasury's position would Justify.

We are told that the better things of life will always come to those who wait, if they can only weather the wait- ing period.

The Federal Power Commission has only permitted dribs and drabs. But even the F.P.C., it seems, can finally relent. It has approved export to Union of 15.5 billion feet a year, A milestone so far as the F.P.C. is concerned. And probably an even greater milestone so far as gas in the province is concerned. It enables Union to get started on a major expansion program al- most right away. And this will be breaking the trail of a similar program which will be forging ahead right across the province in the next two years. The extent of the forging, it seems, somewhat dependent on labor and materials supply, how- ever. There's a headache every- where these days apparently. And now that the gas supply picture is getting brighter a shortage of skilled personnel and possibly of pipe is in view. But how? And What?

Potato Prices Reach Peak In New York NEW YORK (AP) -- Reballers sald today the price for southern. grown potatoes has reached an "all-time peak level" on the New York market where they are sell. ing for 8 cents for five pounds. In Michigan, housewives com: plain they have to pay more than $1 for 10 pounds, One chain store expert sald the potato sibuation Is "almost to a point where a black market exists.' Chicago produce men sald » week ago wholesale prices were the highest ia 40 years. In New York, a wholesaler made it 50 years. Most potato dealsrs blame the high prices on continuing cold weather in growing areas, from Florida up along the U.S. east coast, Other sources blame the situation on government subsidies for livestock feed and starch, Floods in Europe also were listed as a contributing factor.
