At present, with a steady increase in the opportunities of the masses to secure higher education, and the promise of even greater facilities in the future; with a wider coverage of naâ€" tional health through rapidly expanding public health units; Naturally the huge shipments of foodstuffs such as eggs being shipped to countries which require them is creating a shortage of those foodstuffs in Canada. And, while it is exâ€" pected that the producers of the foodstuffs are getting a fair price for the goods exported, there is no justifiable reason why exorbitant prices should be charged for the balance of the goods left for the Canadian market. If it is then a great perâ€" centage of Canadian taxpayers are liable to be squeezed from all sides until his dollars are something he just glimpses or hears of on payâ€"days. Virtually all of Canada‘s cxports are being bought on credit, and, while no Canadian worth his salt would deny the exporting of foodstuffs or necéessities other countries need for their very subsistence, there is a good possibility the Canâ€" udian taxpayer might have to come goodâ€"for thoseâ€"credits. There again, if the goods go to the needy, no Canadian will complain, but if he has to pay for the goods that are exported and at the same time pay double the price for what is left on the Canadian market then it is time the Canadian government took steps to protect the taxpayer from having to pay through' the nose for his goodâ€"heartedness. The old system of supply and demand controlling prices is, to a certain extent, an excellent one, but unfortunately it always seems to deprive some hardâ€"working Canadians of something. If demand exceeds supply the consumer pays through the nose; and if supply exceeds demand the producer suffers. Evidently some kind of control system is necessary to regulate production withk supply and demand. ~And until it is found many hardâ€"working Canadians are going to find that industry doesn‘t pay off the way it is expected to. It may be that the system of letting supply and demand regulate prices is obsolete. After all, economic systems need repairs just. the same as machinery. 7 While it does seem logical that Canadians should have beéeen imore perturbed about their rights during the thirties when there were about a million and a half unemployed and apout oneâ€"quarter of the populationâ€"of the Dominion on relief, it seems just as logical that at that time Canadians were too grateful for their freedoms in comparison wWith the people of Germany and Italy to even contemplate the néed for a Bill of Rights. Yet, strange as it seems, an immensely greater. perâ€" centage of Canadians were deprived of legitimate ngth in the thirties than are deprived of today. Under our present system â€" though it is improving â€" a man‘s status is determined much by the economic status of his parents. If they are working people the children almost automatically become working people simply because the schools of higher learning are barred to only those who can aftford it or are prepared to endure years of sacrifice to secure a higher education. True, there are more scholarships being provided every year to enable clever youngsters to acquire a higher education, but the number is still far from adequate, and many clever youngsters have to leave high school before they are finished because of financial conditions at home. Unless economic rights give these youngsters the chance for a higher education if their efforts merit it, then Canada is the loser There are some who think economic rights should not be included in a Canadian Bill of Rights. Yet what worth while rights has a man got if he hasn‘t the assurance of securing a good job if he works hard enough; a job that will. enable him to raise a family at a decent standard of hvmg, give them adequate medical and dental care, a reasonable amount 6of recreation and a holiday every year, and enable them to acquire a good education. Economic rights are a man‘s most rights under our present setâ€"up and at present a man‘s economic vote is his most important vote. With considerable attention of late being focused on the United Nations Commission on Human Rights which has as its objective the formulation of a World Bill. of Rights, there has been much discussion about the need for Canada to inâ€" clude a Bill of Rights in our constitution, the British North America Act. rights The growing agitation in Canada has been stirred periodâ€" lealily by such acts as the Quebec Padlock Law, and more reâ€" cently by the Gouzenko spy case in which Canadians were locked up without access to counsel; and, the jailing of the Jehovah Witnesses in Quebec was another instance. With the reported possible increase in the price of eggs to 80 cents a dozen and another report stating that Canada‘s exports of eggs had jumped from one million dozen before the war to 83 million dozen in 1946 it is high time the government realized that there is still a necessity for price controls in a great many commodities. Otherwise the Canadian consumer and taxpayer is going to be taken for an unpleasant and exâ€" pensive ride. PHONE 26 TIMMIX®S, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Onlartioâ€"Quebec Newspaper Association Published Every Thursday by M. W. LAKRKE, Publisher A] Timmins, Ontario, Thursd A€ Ebe Borcupine Adbance on Ratt d V Un March 27th, 1947 W, L, McFARLANE, LEditor d Statt Year The excellent response to the Kiwanis Easter Seal Drive in aid of crippled children is a tribute to the humanity that exists in the hearts of Timmins citizens. The thought of a youngster deprived of the use of his limbs and having to look on when other more fortunate youngsters enjoy the thrills of skimming over the ice on skates and over the hills and fields on skiis in winter, and swimming, playing ball and games in summer is a thought that must strike deep into the hearts of adults. By purchasing Kiwanis Easter Seals in aid of C children you too can help many handicapped youngs enjoy the dife that soundness of body and strength < allows. A case in police court this week amply illustrates the need for more mental institutions. One man, a graduate engineer, was‘ sentenced to‘two and oneâ€"half years in the penitentiary for issuing cheques against accounts he didn‘t possess. The total amount ‘of the nine cheques on which he was convicted totalled ,$237.68. His record for the past sixteen years revealâ€" ed about ten years spent in penal institutions all across Canâ€" ada and one in United States for the same offence. Always the offence had been the same and the money involved in every case was very small. «The ten years in Jails and prisons didn‘t effect any cure. The man was hardly out before he was issuing cheques, appearing in court and being sentenced again. Obviously the man was afflicted with a mental derangement, which, while not dangerous, made him more of a public nuisâ€" ance than a menace. And perhaps, if he had been confined to a mental institution in the first place he might have been cured of this mental quirk and emergedâ€" a respectable and valuable member of society instead of a lifelong expense. At present our law courts are handicapped in that sufâ€" ficient psychiatrists aren‘t available in the country to allow one to be included on the establishment of every sizeable municipal police force., Until such time as they are provided we can but watch the parade of mentally defectives in police court being dealt with as expediently and effectively as the jurisdiction of the court allows. And even if psychiatrists were provided there would still be the need for more mental institutions to confine the mentally deranged in for treatâ€" ment. It‘s a condition that needs immediate attention. "tough luck"‘ never thinking that the crippled child might have been cured if treated in time. In recent years, since advancing science has revealed tiat most of these crippled children need never go through life with handicaps there has been a desire on the part of many adults to do something about it. Youth with its energy and exuberancy and abundance of pep are days adults remember with a smile â€" and often wish they could live over. Perhaps in those days they never gave much thought to the crippled child next door who couldn‘t Join in their games, or if they did think of him they just said Canada‘s biggest problem at present is prejudice. that can be eliminated then a Bill of Rights will mean more than just a written constitution. United States has had a Bill of Rights for years but it still doesn‘t prevent discriminarion against the Negroes â€".there it is color prejudice. In Canada we have a mixture of racial, religious, language and class prejudice that has continually been an obstacle in our political and economict life, and a bone of contention in many other ways. Actually, according to an eminent American psychiaâ€" trist, most people cling to prejudice to bolster their own ego, to compensate for their own insecurities by feeling superior towards others. There seems only one solution to eliminate prejudice â€" education. And until our educational facilities and systems are given an overhaul and boost then a Bill of Rights for Canadians will give Canadians little more than a reference as to what rights they are entitled to and someâ€" thing to fall back on if those rights are infringed on.
