Provincial Treasurer John ,White should know. The announcement by the provincial. government that sales tax would be in- creased from five to seven per cent was news of the sort that no taxpayer likes to hear. The fact that the higher tax would also be applied to fuel and electricity—goods arid services which have always been tax free in On'tario,. was the last straw: Opposition was loud and: instantaneous --not only from the general• public, but from members of the government as well. Who had to take the blame? The .provin- , cial treasurer, of course. Not the -premier, not the rest of the cabinet ministers—just the treasurer. , It scarcely conceivable that Mr, dreamed up that little exercise. in tail all by himself. Surely he must havedis ed his proposal with Mr. Davis and other members of the cabinet, if not wil entire government caucus. If theyag e go along with hi.s plans—which they s, must have done—why is the treasure] fall guy for. allthe rest? Apparently the rules of the gam] mand that one victim shall be sacrifia the angry mob so that the partywon't s any fatal wounds'. It.may be sound tact] the political arena, but it's hardly these sportsmanship one would expect of enl ened leaders. TALES iHAT HAVE BEEN TOLD By REV.. DUNCAN McTAVLSH LONDON THE BEST ONES FIRST He lived next door to the farm I was born and raised on. Old Adam Wilson, who in early life had been a carpenter, and still , owned a chest of tools that was the pride of the owner and the envy of the neighbourhood. I still see those bright and shining bits arranged in properr order, and planes of every description, for this man had been a tradesman when most everything was madeby hand Tidiness was second nature to him, and the Whole, farm pres- ented the appearance of order and good craftmanship. But the.old gentleman had left the carpenter's bench manyyears before to earna livelihood as a tiller of the soil. It hadn't been easy for the soil was not the best in matters of productivity and only by careful thrift had he managed to get rid of,a mortgage that for years had hung like,.a millstone around his neck. But poverty had not robbed him of his sense of wit, nor soared in the art of living.' For Mr. Wilson was a deeply religious man. The little country church sat on the corner of the farm, on land donated by him. For several years of its earlyhistory he had acted as jan itor without any hope of • reward, except the reward of a duty well done. He had served as Class Leader, Steward and Sunday School Superintendant to the cred - it of himself, and the benefit of the community. But it was about his apples that Istarted out , to write. For he had lovely apples that grew on the well pruned trees nearby. And he learned the art of keeping them through the winter , so the Spring found him amply provided with splendid fruits, still well preserved despite the passing months. Let anyone compliment him on thequality of his apples as the summer months approached and asked him how he managed to keep them so well, the old. man would' invariably answer after this. fashion. "Well you see I ,always use the bes ones first, and then you se e the best as long as I have any Most folks go the other way about it. They use the worst ones first and then you see they have the worst as long as they have any."
