They will make -do for a long time before asking for help, but when they do seek aid it can be accepted as a fact that the cause is a good one. It is this racial characteristic—in- herited perhaps from the organiza- tion to which they belong—that has caused the members of the Seaforth Highlanders Band to defer until now any mention of the difficutlies they have been having with their kilts. The trouble is, one of 'old age, the Band reveals in an appeal made pub- lic this week. The kilts, acquired secondhand thirty-eight years ago, can serve no longer and replacements are necessary. The Band which does • wonders with its annual grant from the towns has nothing left over with -which - to -renew its ,uniforms,- - and -however mudh``it may dislike doing so, has no recourse but to appeal to the public for help. , The idea is that over -the next five years through various means, a fund Ontario Financial Wiza can be created with which to buy new kilts and tunics for the Band. It is a pro.posal that should meet with a ready response by the people of the district. Few realize the con- tribution which members of a band make in time and effort to the end that the organization can continue to serve its community. The place which a Band occupies in a town is never fully realizeduntil, as has hap- pened in so many centres, it has been forced to give up through lack of • support. While funds are being accumulat- ed the Band will parade inordinary dark pants. If anything is needed to spur the town to action, it is this. Who ever heard of a Highland Band parading in'pants? The only way we can avoid becoming the laughing stock of every place that appreciates the value of a good band—particular- 1y a Highland Band with the .tradi- tions of the Seaforth Highlanders- - -' is to co-operate promptly and gener- ously, so that our bandsmen can get out of pants and into kilts, where they belong. rdr"y i`s Wearing • Thin than one billion dollars. If we can't balance the budget in these affluent years, when, will someone answer, do we begin?" "Where does it stop?" the Journal continues. "Perhaps it is old fash- ioned even to ask that question now. The economists can "give' --'plausible justification for this fiscal legerde- main. Capital debt, indeed, is not ev- en called debt. It is called, in more than one place in this budget, `On- tario's investment in physical assets and human betterment.' "We are all Tor physical assets and human betterment. 'But we think too that in prosperity we mighkdo a bet- ter job of paying as we go,\perhaps evenpayina little for those past years when times were not so good." Premier Frost, of course, justifies his deficit financing . by suggesting that Ontario can expect additional amounts from the Federal Govern- ment, which Prime Minister Diefen- baker promised, and, that when these. are received everything will. be all right. However, on the basis of what has happened to so many other prom- ises made by the Federal Conserva- tives, Ontario's chance of additional revenue is pretty thin. The Journal puts "it in these words with which we are in complete agree- ' ment: "The hope that Ontario might. seduce more revenue from the Fed- eral Government is not too well founded. If more money comes, so much the better' for the province. But it hardly seems sound to justify a de- ficit budget on that elusive and thin chance." .

Before mar- riage, a man should be able to -have "his fiancee guarantee that (a) -he will not be served cake mixes, (b) be forced to use small ash trays, or (c) miss his- favorite television show.

We say there 'are still those who believe in this financial magic, but there are an increasing number who don't, and among this latter group is the staunchly Conservative Ottawa Journal. Says The Journal; "The talk of 18 years of consecutive surpluses is only a bookkeeping truth: There is indeed a surplus on ordinary ac- ' counts. Achieving that is' nothing to- day. The harder and more significant fact is that so much of our spending is•capital spending; the province con- tinuesto go into debt.

The Government borrowed 100 mil- lion dollars last year; The year be- fore it borrowed more than twice that. amount. It is. also true that the per capita debt is less today than it was • 20 years ago. But that only means that our production is rising , even faster.

SMILEY - It took a lot of planning, but I wangled a 36 -hour leave the other' weekend. It was the first time in about two years that I'd been off the reserve without the family hanging around my -neck like an albatross. „ * * * It was nicely accomplished, if 1 do say it. I had to see.a man in the city about a deal. Being an old and cunning husband, I let on to the family that I could see my man any weekend., This lulled my wife into a false 'sense of security, -;and she started planning our weekend in the city. ' ' • 4 * Waiting until conditions. were • ideal, I struck. She didn't have her hair done;- one or the kids had a cold, and. our favorite baby-sitter wasn't available. So I arrived home from work on Thursday looking depressed, told her I'd just had a phone call from my man, that he was leaving on Monday for a month in the west, and I had to -go...down-the next day or the deal was 'off, and wasn't it a shame. * * * She couldn't do much but urge. me to go. I protested- that •it•• wouldn't be any fun going alone., "You go on now," she pressed, "it's important and anyway wouldn't you like to and, away from us all for a day?" That's like asking an alcoholic whether he'd like a drink. But I was smart en- ough to protest enough to keep her on the offensive until she got a little sore at my stubbornness. * * I finally gave in reluctantly, and after she'd searched my bag tp make sure I hadn't any liquor, I went off, waving wistfully back- wards at Draughty Windows. I've never seen the old place so pic- turesque, the garbage cans sil- houetted on the snow banks, the icicles forming a pipe -organ effect Over the door, in which stood the little woman, her brow darkening as she ,simultaneously waved and wondered whether she'd been con- ned again. * * * That's when you really feel yotfr age—when you leave home and, loved ones on a 36 -hour pass. Nor- mally, I feel about 54, but that day •I felt every. one_of-ray, 39 years as I belted gleefully through a blizzard to "catch, the- train. - * * * When I arrived at Union Station I found•it was the weekend the bi: snow had hit the city. About -2 people were,waiting for cabs, and none in sight. Undaunted, full of good cheer, I was about to head for the subway, when I saw an old gentleman talking to the cab did - 1'1 rpatcher in great distress. In my kindly Canadian way, I enquired why there were screaming at each other in fractured English. The old chap was in a flap. He was a •stran'ger-in 'the 'city, spoke al most no English, ,wanted to get to his hotel three miles away, and couldn't get 'a taxi. * g, * I made it known that I'd see he got there, via subway. Tears of gratitude filled his eyes when he understood. As we emerged from the station, me carrying his heavy bag, a taxi pulled up to disgorge a passenger. My gentle old com- pa'nion snatched his bag from me, leaped across a vast puddle,, hurl- ed himself• into the cab and 'shout- ed, "Vestbury Hotel", without a backward glance. As I tramped through the slush to the subway station, l.. reflected, somewhat sombrely, that this... was Brother- hood Week. * * * - I thought a good dinner might lift my' spirits. When I'm on' leave, I do it up brown. I sip my, aperitif with appreciation. I glance at the other diners with disdain. ,I order exotic foods.. This night I was having pheasant au flambeau 12r something. A white -gloved waiter brings in your bird, which' is bla,g,nerrily, and with long skewers ,and a flourish, transports it to your plate. Quite impresses the poor people eating steaks.. • * * Only this idiot's flourish was a little too florid, his gloves caught fire and he dropped my bird on the floor 'while he beat his hot little hands together, to • the de- light of the other diners. I called the headwaiter, informed him with some hauteur that I had ordered pheasant au flambeau, not flam- ing pheasant, and stalked out of the place. * .0 * My wbole leave went like that. Had a shave in the hotel barber shop. Paid the cashier with a $10 bill and was so busy trying to find a dime for the little guy who was beating me around the shoulders with a whisk that I walked. out without 'my change, some $8.75. Late for my train home, 1 ran, skidded on • ice, tore a cartilage in my knee and have been on the glimp ever .since: Bought some sandwiches for the ride home, set them on the station floor while I purchased my ticket, , and walked off without them. * * *,.

Operated -as a public ser- vice by an appointed committee, the arena has, in' yrs past, de- pended upon the town coffers to meet- its annual costs. However, the town has not been called upon for help during the past two years, and the arena commission ended the 1959 fiscal year with a balance of $063.13. Dwindling attendance at games and for skating since the first of the year have shaved the cash balance to $315.00, but it is expected that the current season will end without a deficit.

GOD OF WAR March was named for the Adm- an god of war. Julius Caesar was bidden to beware of the Ides of March, And sure enough, on the fatal day, he fell in the Senate, pierced by the daggers of Brutus and the rest. It would be a great blessing to mankind if the peoples of the world should beware of the Ides of March and all the days of the .year in which men prepare for war. Consider the condition of the world now with billions being spent to prepare for war. But, one may ask, what is the good in consider- ing something that one can do nothing abogt? That is indeed the question. Let us hope that the winds, proverbially active in the present month, may blow away the ideas that trouble men and pre- pare men for the balmy days of spring, when "all the trees on all the hill's' open their thousand leaves." At this point, I confess there is nothing I can do or say about it worth while. Yet, there --is some- thing, for "Man's extremity is God's opportunity." We can unite in prayer to God to do what needs be done for the distressed world. 111111;111111111111M11111111111111111111111111 (Prepared by the Research Staff Of Encyclopetlia'-Canadiana) 1111!11111111(11111111IIIIIIIt1111II111IIIIIIII• What Is An Outport?

It is the name given.: to one of those bodies of water that cov- ered .much of present-day Canada. in postglacial times. It was really a vast arm of the ocean that at one period inundated the St. Lawr- ence lowlands. As the continental ice sheet melted away from the St. Lawrence Valley, sea water en- tered the region, spreading over the lowlands bordering the St. Lawrence and Ottawa rivers and advancing( iilto....the Lake Ontario basin and into the present Hudson Valley. As -the ice sheet melted further, the waters withdrew.

Younger readers will not remem- ber the big tent, the wooden bench es and the varied types of enter- tainment that characterized , the Chautauqua' programs. during the summer months in hundreds of Canadian Communities after the First World War. The competition of movies and radio and then the advent of the Great Depression brought Canadian Chautauqua to an end. It was through Chautauqua (the name was borrowed from the Chautauqua Institution in New York State, which still operates) that thousands of Canadians saw their first play, listened to prom- inent speakers or heard chamber music or the famous Swiss Bell Ringers. In those days, when en- tertainments and cultural oppor- tunities were few, people were eager to support .a program that could bring them the most famous orators of the day, it varied pro- gram of musical entertainment and plays that the whole family could enjoy. The program was so organized that almost every com- munity could afford it. At its height, Chautauqua blanketed the Prairie Provinces, much of On- tario and the Martimes. iunuuuouuttuunuuuuuunuunnl A SMILE OR TWO IIIIIIIIIIIIIHIiIIIIt11III11111t11111111111I111 Friend: "Which of your works of fiction do you consider the best?"

The quick answer, under the cir- cumstances, is not likely. Espec- ially when' Trade Minister Gordon Churchill has made the announce- ment that the plum will go to his own Province, and the alternative is to put it in the home riding of Liberal Leader Lester Pearson. But logic fails when it is mea sured against the peruasiveness of irrepressible Shirleen O'Brien, or- ganizer and leader of 150 house- wives from the northern Ontario uranium mining centre of Elliot Lake Miss O'Brien, a newpaper wo- man, is determined that the cen- tre should' be reassigned to Elliot to provide employment in the mod- el town, threatened with- extinc- tion by the collapse of uranium sales in the United States. She and her ladies descended on Ottawa in a friendly swarm to put the case to Prime Minister Diefen- baker, Trade Minister Churchill and Labour Minister Michael Starr. They gave advance notice that_ they wouldn't take no for an an- swer. They didn't get it. They did get a-80-minute_,`,*-p�e�r�sonal inter- view with the Prime Minister, dur- ing which they reported Mr. 'Dief- enbaker appeared -close to tears as he listened to details of Elliot Lake's problems. They did get assurance from Mr. Starr that the mining centrewill be declared a labor surplus area— which means that registered job- less will have fares and„ moving costs paid to new employment elsewhere. And they were told by M -r. Churchill that the Government would treat the matter with due seriousness. The two junior min- isters, however, failed to' impress Miss O'Brien and her Elliot Lake brood. . Meanwhile Mr• Diefenbaker scor- ed a hit. Without -making a -prom- ise, beyond the usual "fullest con- sideration," the Prime Minister dent the delegation away happy anti. applauding. They called him "that wonderful man," and said they were convinced that hewould take direct action 'to, ease Elliot Lake's plight., • • "We were actually able to pro- ject our problem through to him." Miss O'Brien bubbled when the .in- terview was over. "We feel this wonderful man is definitely going to do something. We' think that things axe doing to, be fine from now on. But to allay any suspecion that the delegation was • too. l.nhpressiorl- able, and willing bait to the wiles of a politieian, Miss O'Brien de- clined to pay the same compli- ment to Mr. Churchill. "He didn't appear really concerned," she said abruptly. The gist of the Iadies' argument is that the proposed nuclear -cen- tre shout be, built at Elliot Lake because s construction would co- incide wi h the expected layoff of up to 4,0 0 men from the uranium mines this year. ' They reason that its eventual po- tential work force of 2,500 men would be enough to keep the town alive, and prevent _the loss of a $200,000,000—plus investment in homes, stores and services. The argument fails, however, to take into account the" fact that Manitoba is much shyer of employ- ment -creating federal projects than' its wealthy neighbor, Ontario—and that the Prairie Province isn't like- ly to give up its plum without a still fight. Listen to Joseph Slogan,' the - Conservative M.P., whose Mani, toba riding is slated to get the re- search centre: "'Ontario is one of the privileged Provinces. The Gov ernment has centred nearly all its nuclear research"' centres in that Provin.ce. During the last 16 years the federal Government has spent $120,000,000 in this field in 'Ontario; Ontario has the four.,major reac, tor projects, the two at. Chalk Riv- er and the new one under con- struction. There is also CANDU, a $00,000,000 project." Mr. Slogan argues that relocation of the new centre wouldn't help Elliot Lake's -'immediate proli'lems "because 'i.t:would be 1065 before the project came into operation and' at that time only 200 would be employed on the staff. These 200 would be technicians." But it would save the investment in homes, stores, schools and roads. • SO' much Tor the Thgic • or illogie"-' of the Elliot Lake case,, and the pros and cons of reneging on the committments to Manitoba. Still undisposed of, however, is the ra- ther large matter of those 150 aroused housewives from Elliot Lake. "We believe," said one o£ the marchers, "in the saying, 'Nev. er underestimate the power'of a woman'." John Diefenbaker, who is where he is today, thanks—at least in part—to the unswerving support of a woman ..named Olive, must be pondering that great truth most carefully. • - IN THE ' YEARS AGONE Interesting items gleaned from The Huron Expositor of 25, 50 and 75 years ago.
