HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1952-05-08, Page 2A Timely Warning '111E CANADIAN CHAMBER of Commerce has alerted Canadians to the dangers of a cur- rent all-out attempt . by the Canadian Com- munist Party to drive a wedge between Canada and the United States and thus seriously dam- age the "defence mechanism of the free world." The 'warning is contained in the preview of an article -entitled "Whisperer Among the People" to appear in the May issue of the News Letter, published by the Chamber's De- partment of Economic Development. Accomp- anying the article will be a montage of lurid and sensational headlines from the Labor- Progressive Party organ, the Canadian Tribune, giving some idea of how the Communists op- erate their propaganda machine. While few Canadians come into direct con- tact with the flashily printed Communist lit- erature, states the Chamber preview, the ma- jority are not immune to the "terrifically po- tent force" of such poisonous whisperings as the United States is "taking over" Canada, ' and the Government of Canada is dancing to the tune 'played by the "Wall Street War- mongers". The Communists know that while the average individual may appear to reject such whispers and rumours, human nature be- ing what it is, there is always left an _uneasy suspicion that where there is smoke there is fire. The montage "shows that there is fiee and that this. fire blazes out of the hellish hatred of capitalism which exists in the minds and hearts of the Communists". The Chamber preview -further warns that— (a) A Communist-sponsored organization called Dernifiform is actively at work spread- ing false news •to cause confusion in Western Countries. (b) Communist activity of all kinds will be intensified- in Canada during the next few years. (c) Canadians must be prepared to sift fact from fancy and recognize the difference between truth and Communist propaganda. .11011.1.1••••• BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY Be Sure : : Be Insured K.

CEMETERY CARE Editor, Clinton News-Record DEAR SIR: Upon driving through the var- ious places, it is nice to notice as we pass along, the care and the beauty of the different cemeteries so, upon arriving home and go- ' ing out to see the Clinton Ceme- tery, I was more than pleased to see how lovely it looked. Yes, I know it had just poured rain , and the grass and foliage were lovely as the result. But, I am referring to the recent care. I found new sod being placed on the older, as well as the new- er, graves and no junk, nor brok- en jars lying around; instead all was neatness. The Cemetery Board is to be congratulated, so keep up the good work, for I assure you it is noticed by the public in gen-1 eral.

And let us mention a word about Christian Family Week, which is being observed through- out Canada fromeStinday, May 11, to Saturday, May 17, under the •auspices of the Ontario Council of Christian Education. '111E, COSTS OF MAINTAINING ROADS, keeping up the schools in the rural community and contributing to the high schools, have been mounting steadily, Each acre on a farm must produce more to bear its fair share of the tax burden, If the acre is rocky and can pro- duce only a crop of trees, can we afford to clear cut it and destroy that production with- out making the burden on the rest of the farm just that much heavier? If the crop of trees from stony, steep, or wet land has been unwisely removed and it is now waste land can we afford to lose it? Sometimes where there are plenty of seed trees, fencing anearea is sufficient; where there are no seed trees, seedlings .may be obtained from the Ontario Government for planting. The main cost is the labour of planting and fencing. These items are small compared 'to your loss from carrying idle acres. Snow fence* and posts cost approximately $1,200 per mile, Erection and dismantling cost $150 to $200 per mile every year,, Maximum life of snow fence would not exceed 15 years. Properly located belts of evergreen trees plant- ed at the same time would eliminate the need ONE OF THE EXCUSES given in behalf of Mr. Abbott's unpopular*budget is that Can- ada cannot fairly reduce taxation at a time 'when other nations, especially the United States, are taxing heavily in the common cause, comments The Printed Word. Rejoinder from an old campaigner (albeit with no sons of draft age) is that Canada should not refrain from compulsory military training as long as the United States maintains its forces by con- scription. Aside from this, it would have been pos- sible for Mr, Abbott to relieve the Canadian income taxpayer materially and still have kept the rates on about the same level as in the United States.

Canadian churches recognize this as they celebrate Christian Family Week. Every family is en- couraged to play together, pray together and plan together, No matter what they deserve, our child- ren are born :into just the type of homes which we make for them. This "we" includes first the parents and other, mature persons who ex- ercise the strongest influence within the circle of the family. God-fearing men and women helped build our country. They grew up in homes where religion' had an importapt place. The future of 'our own land will depend greatly on the kind of homes we provide for our children today. for much snow fence in less than 15 years. Can we afford to neglect this obvious saving? A farmer cannot afford to butcher his brood sows, or his best cows, and stay in the peek or beef business, Count the cost of bffchering the growing stock in your woodlot and you will decide that you can't 'afford it! * 44 The trout season opens today, Thursday, May 1, and already several poachers have been caught during the past few days taking trout ahead of the season. Heavy fines have, been imposed on these people. The Pike and Pickerel seasons opens here on Thursday, May 15, and here again, our of- ficers have been picking up poachers since the first•of April. Some of these have been caught using spears, nets and guns. Several offenders using artificial lights at night have also been picked up. One of these already has paid a fine of $50 and costs. Closed Season for Pike and Pickerel is from April 1 to and including May 14; Open 'Season for Aurora Trout, Brown Trout, Kam- loops Trout, Rainbow Trout, Speckled Trout, is from May 1 to September 15. The United States does not tax taxes. Can- ada does, The United States allows deductions from taxable income of mortgage interest, municipal taxes, storm damage to the taxpayer's home, liquor taxes, gasoline taxes, excise taxes, theatre taxes, etc. Canada taxes all these. ,„ The United States does not require a three-cent or six-cent tax on a cheque. Canada does. It is the height of absurdity, as well as a nuisance, to compel a person too pay a tax for withdrawing his own money from a bank. It also is a fact that the United States• treasury has been incurring deficits year in and year out. They should be trying to bal- ance their budget. Mr. Abbott, on the other hand, has been piling up surpluses. Can. We Afford It? (fey J. C.
