we have al:Ways understood that hydro •
charges were based on the cost of delivering
..' power to a given point., The farther from the

'izi effect, the theary.A -cPmparison of rates in
•various neighboring , municipalities however
proved this to be an apparent fallacy. , •
.
In. any 'event,the announcement of re-
duced and uniform rural hydro rates by Pre-,
. Mier George Drew, . and the. Hydro-Eleetric
Power Commission, ends that rather lamely
received explanation of the variation in the
rates charged for this. public utility.
' The reduction in rural hydra, and, the 'set:
,
ting up of a uniform rate for rural users, ef-, •
fective January lst, is very commendable,, btit

believed that the 'Government had not firiishea •
its revision of. the 'Hydro price structure..

One can't be too hasty in jumping on Mr.
Drew's back. He should, if necessary, be given ;
•further time to study the urban Hydra set-up ,
before making a statement as to future polioy,,
, • . ,
but he must be aware .that urban hydro .user.s
, in the' smaller centres are entitled' to, and Will
demand, some consideration. Action to date •
cannot. be regarded as the fulfillment of the
, 13th point of the twenty-two point election
• program of thelPf.ogressie=Conservative partY:
Users, who in such "eutlying' centres as trek -
now have been. "paying through the nose" for
hydro since its .inception. Industry ,in the smafl
towns has beenplaced at a distinct . disadvan-
tage in competition with big centres, due to

Over a period of four yeers:public school
Pupils in. Bruce Counly have planted a total
of almost one hundred thousand forest trees.
These pupils, ,and those responsible for the
larganizing of, such reforestation activities; are
to be coinmended for their accomplishment.
• but it does: draw to mind a, conversation
recently with a, district farther, who, having
no fault to find with reforestation, said in

that will prevent-tlecommercial slaughter of
°lir timber ,and swamp lands. • • , • .- •
•This can be accornplished by restricting
the cutting of .any sound tree under a specified,
size and it is •imperative that such government
action be soon taken to stop the timber slaugh-
ter.- ••

it has been our humble opinion all along that

unquestionably within the .C.G.F. ranks that
element which would riot hesitate to' resort
•to such measures in the "purging" of all who
opposed 'their will. They recognize that their
communistic ideas of state ownership ean be
establiShed .and maintained probably only by
• resorting to force. '
• It is the expression of such intentions from
time •to time that puts less. radical' followers of
the party on the "hot seat", and gives rise to a ,
flurry of explanations in an effcirt toundo some
of the damage to the party's aspirations caused •
• by such communistic outbursts.
But after . all &OCialisni can't be a half -Way '

•State ownership can't justapply to certain
'people. It mist eventually be complete tee=

will 'do about their haggis on St Andrew's Day,
Ttiesday, November 30th, which falls on meat-
less Tuesday. The ,Kairshea Club has no such
worries, for they are holding their annual ball
on Friday night of this week. On the other
hand, the parade of the haggis is the limit to
which the -Scots- go- at ;this annual- -event If,

Sanders head of the Consumer's section,. W. R
T; B., told . members of the Nova Scotia Wo-
men's. Institute, depends on how well civilians
play their part, too. Whether they be farmers ,
or fishermen or housewives; whether they work
in war factories making bulletsand battle drgss
or whether they fight the war from their own
homes by refusing to waste a scrap qf this
country's resources. By keeping their families
fit, by guarding their savings, by helping. to
,control •prices they are contributing to more
effective home front activity.

How Others see...us: "Over at Lucknow it
is interesting to note that the municipal coun-
cil has passed a by-law' regulating the hours
and standardsof restaurants in that village.
The one arousing feature a the,regulation is
that it' banns the operation of slot . or pin
machines on Suriclay!* Are those things still
operating in Bruce? We had 'understood that
Attorney -,General Blackwell had instructed the
Provincial Police to undertake the elimination.
of slot and pin MaChines, and had judged from
the number Of prosecutions ,redeiving publicity
in) the daily press, that he was getting results".

• This week, November 22-27 has been set
aside as Navy Week, when the work of the.
Canadian Navy and the Navy League is brought
into Public focus. The Nay League has made
marvellous contributions to our fig -filing naval
men and our merchant seamen arid its

greatly - toWards the welfare ;arid corni8rt of •
these men of the sea. It is interesting to note
that during 1942, more than two million mer
chant searnen„crossed the thresholds of the
Navy League Seamen's Clubs where good meals'
were provided as well as comfortable sleeping •

AFTER THE WAR
• (By N. E. 'Bushell) • -
I have been 'in Hamilton for
several -months and the amazing
thing to the here in this city is
the number of factories employ-
,
ed in. war materiai-of every sort.
• t was told there are 3,500 fact-
ories, some employing info the
thousands of workinen. One Of
• the most striking ' things is the
extent to which women areem-
ploYedrAlie helpfulness of the
Men ,ernployees in co-operating
with them, and the remarkable
way they .handle their work. For
instance in . the welding. shop,
cloie to the office I work in, a
yonng lady about 20 years of age
• is. one of, the outAtanding Welders,
noted 'for her excellent craft-
manship and it is to be hoped
• that men and women with these
• achievements •Will •be Preserved
mith Government encouragement
after the war. •
• "After the War" brings us to•
the subjct I. find under a great
deal of discussion• on the street
car or in the factpri regarding
what the punishment will be ex-
tended out to those responsible
for :the atrocities Committed. We• .
have only to turn back to the
last war when these very same
questions were being asked and
view the answer. Today it
Hitler, , then it was the i Kaiser,
but people say it will be a dif-
ferent_story this time, people will
-not be -so-lenient:. ThiS -is -sound
and in good faith,"but we won-
der in the jubilationgof victory
how much of it will be effect-
• iy,ely carried out. ••
The Kaiser was' given a good
home and -a report given on his
health pericidically, ' following •up
the Versailles Treaty, which clas-
sified' certain, penalties; which if
they had been carried out, there
•woulel not have been. any Kaiser
living to see the beginniilig of this
War, or`lwould there have• been• ,
another war. One of the penalt-
ies was to publicly arraign the
Kaiser for a "snpreme offence
• against international Morality"
-aadeikc-Te--fl:zlfh.eiejt-54-4g-tCinfTarc;f
was last here,
„fiVe-man tribunal, which s to
fix the punishment it .considered
should be imposed on him. An-
other,article called for the hand-
ing over bY Germany to -the Al-
lied polders "all persons accused
,of having- committed an act in
violation of the Laws •and, Cus-
toms of war". Still: another spec-
ified that each person" was- to be
tried by the 'Allied powers con-
cerned with'', his case and : t e
German government was obiigd
to .furnish all the evidence re •
-
'qUired by the defence fdr the
prosecution in these ttia1s These
terms. were agreed to by Ger-
many, these dernanded.bk an in •
-
dignant public wht• were - hor-
rified at that time, as today, by
German atrocities, yet was this
part of, the treaty ever carried
out? Where did the public' inclig;
•
nation go when it became evident
it was not going to be Carried
Out.? Will this happen again?
Rerneidber this, the basic aims
of the treaty were sound as ek-
pressed in. the, preamble to the
COvena4 of the League of *Tat-
ions. But we hay'been taught
that police, International, Nation,- •
al or municipal are incapable' of,
maintaining -peace after the , war
without thesupport pf an all
God -fearing -Teeple, an enlight-
ened humanity recognizing the
„ever upward march of man,.
ing a just and enduring peace
arid a better world to live in,
keeping the doors of thought, of
hope and • opportunity foreVer
open; stai that We thay Step out
into weer opportunities. It was •
not Meant that hurnan beings ,
shauld go backward, but for-
ward. As Emerson has said, ,
