THE STAMP CRAZE
. ' big chain stores seem'to be making
a . farce of the retail trade, as they high
pressure •the "free" 'stamps gimmick by
dangling ' .the "something -for -nothing': in-
centive before .a receptiveand seemingly
gulible public The stamps, ` of various'
hues, are being adopted by most every
type of retail outlet and more and more; the
"little." merchant feels ' forced. ' to keep •up
with .;the . Joneses, in a, bid to continue to,
get his share 'of the consumers dollars.
• We question very `'much if . the average
costumer "demands'' these ' stamps — cer-
tainly not in thefirst place: at least, .and
they must be a nuisance, to say .the :least,
to merchants ‘and clerks..
But the promoters of. these ,schemes have
them now so solidly:. entrenched, that „it ' is
not too . difficult to keep increasing the out-
lets in this era. -of keenly competitive re-
tailing:
The" day may, come when .there, will be
an organized rebellion against this form • of
merchandising. The : sooner " the better, we
think ;

Examples of such ';journalism were' very
apparent at the`time of the marriage of a' /
lovely and ''studious Norwegian girl; to
Steven Rockefeller,.son of an American
multi -millionaire.: The sensational . press, re-
peatedly gave headline prominence to the `•
fact she had been~ a maid' in the Rocke-
feller :home. Actually the young lady•: took
this position and' others,, to help finance her
studies in learning the English language—a
bilingual 'accomplishment more worthy of
recognition, than. the'. anglewhich' was seiz-
ed. upon.
`Another instance was "the spread";given
the George C�.obel incident ' and ' the"cuss

itself to sell papers .and , propagat dize a

opportunity to prove the merits of the ser

with CNR .officials and its'employees to
show interest and. initiative in "selling"
this service, . if it is their wish' to re -este-
blish passenger ,service as 'a profitable op-
• eration.' �If this bid fails, itis inevitable that
'sooner . or later . the. key will be ..turned in

THE .
PARSON'S PEN
To worship in another 'church
than the one that is you "home''
church, is indeed, a rewarding
experience perhaps •especially
so in' a holiday, resort. For as.
you take your, place in the con-
•gregation, • you are conscious of
the fact that. there' are many'
others , present just: like you.
Next to you 'mere may be sit—
ting someone from Detroit, or
Chicago. Ahead of you there'
may, 'be someone, from Toronto;,
behind you, someone from ° Sud:
bury.
You are .aware of the truth .
that God xs-` not a .local God..
, That .whereye'r there •are .people,
with a desire to .worship, 'there"
God ' may be experienced. You
become aware' that.regardless of
race,, or nationality, or accupa-
tion, all, men;. women and eehild,
ren ' are the sons and daughters
of 'God by creation' and adop-
tion, You become aware that a
congregation made up of.diverse
elements finds a central unity in
worshipping • a: living' .God.
It : would be interesting to
compare • notes with' some , of,
these folks after;they return
home.. It may , come . as. a 'rude •.
shock to same' of us ' to realize r .
that rneanbers of other. churches
sing thea same • hymns' .we "sing,
pray • to the same God we'' pray
have . the same- • !hopes and
ears that• are ours: • •
It' would be well for the cause
of Christendom• if all of us could,
'accept the ; truth tihat the.: _things
which we hold.' in common. with •
other. Christians are'a greater• far
than the things which separate.

Stand' before the judgment .seat
of God, it is. most doubtful if 'we .:.
will be questioned as to the .name
of :' the church : we. attended here''
on : earth: It : is Most certain that.
we will .be asked rather' as to'
our faithfulness in. "feeding His.
Sheep."
WHY REPEAL?
The Canada Temperance Act
is'. good law.. Two appeals to
.Higher' 'Courts ,have tested its,
validity., Both times the law Was
declared good:
There are defects, ;but the law.
can be aniended'' This has been:
established : by: careful study and
consultation with, eminent . *legal.
authorities They ,Ihave helped
frame the following „amendments:
which are at. present,under study.
by' the Dominion Cabinet.
1: ' That the 'possession of un-
sealed' ' containers of liquor • in
public . places . be prohibited: '
2.` . That . the .consumption of : or
possession of liquor 'brought into
,the county be,.limited to one's
residence:
one more accident'

rnent of Health and Welfare, -,the Canadian
of
Institute Launderers and . Dry Cleaners,
•
hospitals, radio and television stations, and:
newspapers are all working to alert "par-
ents to' the dangers of the' misuse' of limp
plastic bags. . '
•
But the real responsibility is the parents''.
If limp plastic bags come , into ' your home,
keep them away from all children—Ido .not
use them as , make -shift covers for 'crib or
furniture: If there is no safe use for them
after they have served their initial purpose,
destroy , them.' They/ make excellent gar'gar-
bage disposal bags, so roll up your refuse,
tie 'tightly and put them in • your . gaybage
can.
Many household appliances •and products'
'that serve, essential : needs and comforts,.
are '' potentially dangerous; but because of
• this 'we: have not., sought to . have them taken
off the market. The answer to all.such haz-
ards, is 'recognition of. them and constant,
vigil . against ;them.
•
Steelworkers may have, opinions .contrary
'to those of their union; officials, but' when'
those union officials possess monopoly po'w: •
er,., which makes . it. •.possible for them " to
close down :almost. the entire steel industry
• in US; workers who ' are opposed .to the
strike •haven't much say in, the matter.. ,A
defect of monopoly unionism and industry-
wide collective bargaining " is that top brass
of 'big. unions place ,personal ,power, above
the immediate': well . being of the workers
they profess to represent. It is the effect . of
the /exercise 'of such power, cold and'• imp'
,personal,: that is now ,making itself felt in:
the homes of countless thousands of work-
ers .whose economic lives are controlled . for
them by officials at' th United' Steelwork-'
ers union.

FOR, : PRODUCTIVE ': HAY 'AND PASTURE
*' Mixed hay and pasture yielding 2 tons dry
matter per acre requires approximately 90 lbs.
'nitrogen, 45 lbs. phosphorous and. 9d lbs. po-.
tassium.
With an application of . 8 tons ntanure per acre,
approximately 24 lbs. nitrogen, 8 lbs. 'phosphor-
ous
hosp: or-ous and 32 ' lbs. potassium is all that will be
made available the first year. Legumes can
supplysome of the' nitrogen lacking, but phos-
phorous and potassium will have to be supplied
supplementary. '
** For example, where grasses dominate on heavy.,
land which is manured once every three years,
there should";be a fall. application of 5-10-1.5 at•.
300 to 600 lbs. per acre every 3 years • . .
