We believe, however, that for a project of this sort, you wili be glad to give a few books, at least, to add to the pleasure of others.

You may then take a look in you mirror and‘view the reflection of a public sprited citizen. It is expected that after a year or so, Schuâ€" macher folk interested in the library will be able to arrange for its operation in the usual manner. In the meantime, however, they are anxkious to make a start. Anything you can do to help them will be well deserved. An important decision in the Supreme Court of Ontario, handed down by Mr. Justice Mackay reâ€" cently, completely wiped out a discriminatory clause in a land sale convenant in Toronto to the effect that "The land was not to be sold to Jews or persons of objectionable character." It has been a long time since we have seen so much favourable editorial comment as the above aecision has called forth. This is as it should beâ€" so obviously so, indeed, that we thought further mention Of the matter unnecessary. From what we have seen of the North, people of all beliefs and natonalities seem able to mingle here as freinds However, we have come upon a publication the contents of which, in our opinion, represent about the poorest form of writing possible â€" the the defamation of truly religious belief. The publication is called "Protestant Action" and we put the name in quotation marks because we doubt if anyone but its editor, Leslie H. Saunâ€" ders, could believe it represents Protestant opinâ€" ion. Here is a sample from "Protestant Action‘": "Changes in censorship staff at Ottawa recall that this particular branch of wartime control was used chiefly as an agent of the Roman Church â€" at public expense.‘" And here‘s another: "So that the R. B. foreman would keep within his monthly appropriation, two Protestants were laid off for several days. A 24â€"ft. concrete walk was laid (in war time), the men doing the work being Frenchâ€" men employed by the C. P. R., while the local priest watched and gave advice." _ But in the contumely voiced in the‘abeve quoted ‘example he does little justice to the same freedoms ‘which should be shared by all men. Freedom of Isp’eech and of religion are not exclusively the i‘-property of any race or creed. They belong equalâ€" ly to Jew and Gentile, and to Roman Catholic and Protestant. + ' Under the principle of freedom of speech, "Protestant Action‘" has a right to voice its opinâ€" ion. Under the equally important principle of freedom of religion, the editor of "Protestant Action" has a right to his own belief in God. « Europe today bears testimony to what can hapâ€" pen where such freedoms are 1mproperly exerâ€" cised. ; â€" *«‘Speaking of Family Compact ideas, as many people are these days, our own Town Council is not entirely spotless. The policy of holding nearâ€" ly all important discussions on town business beâ€" hind closed doors in the mayor‘s office is, to say the least, hardly an encouragement to ratepayers to take the interest in council activities that they should. It may be significant or it may not that under this policy town spending has risen to the highest level in history â€" even ntore than back in the depression days when the rate jumped as high as 55 and 58 mills. At that time, the town didn‘t get a substantial subsidy and grant to lowâ€" er real estate taxes and the municipality had heavy relief and debenture burdens. ‘"What the members of council seem to forget or ignore is that they are merely trustees of the ratepayers and receive their authority to transact public business only because they were empowered to do so by the citizens of the town. In the ;administration‘of town aÂ¥airs, therefore, they are directly responsible to the electorate and there is no reason why they should have to lock themselves in an office to.carry on town business." Evidently all is not as it should be in Orillia. Here, in protest, is the voice of the .editor of the Orillia Newsâ€"Letter: "The latest meeting to be held behind closed doors was one in which the council considered applicants to operate a bus franchise in town. As any agreement made will have to be ratified by the ratepayers at a plebiscite, one would think the council would want the public kept well informed. _ There has just come from the press the semiâ€" annual fall and winter pamphlet produced by The Jack Miner Migratory Bird Foundation of Kingsâ€" ville Ontario.

Canadian trocps in Germany were told by Field Marshall Montgomery that he expected to visit Canada this spring. Charles Dickens was a keen student of human nature. and while some of his characters may have been Ov°râ€" drawn in certain features, they are mostly true to life. The characters he depicted were, of course, typical of the times in which he lived and it may be said that they were the product of the social °â€" conditions prevailing in England, particularly in London, in the early part of the nineteenth cenâ€" tury. But although times and conâ€" ditions may change, human nature is fundamentally the same in all generaâ€" tions. We have our Pickwicks, Micawbers, Dombeys, Bumbles, Fagins, Gradgrinds and the rest of the Dickensian species with us today under different guises and circumstances. Outstanding among these in this age of science and realism are the Gradgrinds. They may not be very numerous, and our Gradâ€" grinds may not be quite as outspoken as their original; they are usually more subtle and scientific. But occasionally one of these realists blurts out his suppressed contempt for anything and everything that is not strictly in conformity with "Facts." ‘The realm of imagination is outside of their mental orbit, and as for poeâ€" try and fantesy, they are so toneâ€"deaf and colorâ€"blind to the things of the spirit that they impatiently dismiss them as nonâ€"existent, or as perverâ€" sicns of "fact." : The latest of these modern Gradâ€" grinds to reveal himself is Maj. Gen. Brock Chisholm. Deputy Health Minâ€" ister at Ottawa. In a speech at Washâ€" ington recently he derided the theoâ€" logy and morsl teachings of the Christian churches, and he followed this up later by cruelly exposing the myth sf Santa Claus.

He was sure that everyone present, including himself, would have been afraid during his ‘teens to sleep on a grave in a cemetery. The reason was that magic pnd +«ghosts were believed in and thinking was distorted. He went on to say that if mothers would make sure children understand that fairy stories and Santa Claus were a pretence and, only "for fun", the disâ€" torted thinking would vanish as a reâ€" sult and would increase the chances of the human race surviving for 100 years by 75 per cent. The General himself seems to be entering into the realm of fantasy when he tells about child sleeping on a grave in a cemetery, and claims that human life would be extended to 100 years if children were told that Santa Claus and fairy stories were only for fun.

A group representative of the men who work at the mines, appeared before the transportation committee of the Timmins town council to ask for better bus service. Men were having to stand up on the busses running between Schumacher and Timmins, the delegates said, and they thought a greater degree of comâ€" fort and safety should be made availâ€" able. So here was the picture that came to our mind: A group of men in Timâ€" mins, asking, in effect, for more busses. A group of men in Ford and General Motors plants, asking for more pay. A group of men asking the men in Timâ€" mins to support them in their strike, so that they will not have to go back to work making more busses. A vicious circle: if the men in the Ford and General Motors and other plants went back to work, the miners would not have to suffer from overâ€" crowding due to lack of busses. Inâ€" stead of which, the workers ask for support in continuing their strike. We can‘t help wondering how it would be if, instead of asking for supâ€" port in their strike, they went back to work and turned out vehicles to supâ€" port the miners. What would happen, we wonder, if instead of going to the town council, the miner‘s delegation had written to the strikers for help? But we don‘t suppose this will hapâ€" pen. â€" Being human beings, and not entirely logical people, we shall go on hnelping and hurting each other for scme time to come. jiw For reasons of our own and with no concern for the state of the market, we wandered into a broker‘s office the other day We had not been in such an office since a neverâ€"toâ€"beâ€"forgotten day in October, 1929, and consequently we were just a little ill at ease Being practically a stranger in that company, we felt that everybody there was looking at us, giving us the onceâ€" ‘over, and trying to make up their minds whether we were a bull or a bear, a man or a mouse.
