Opportunities For Canadians
Brazil, the best the Ambassador could say for
us was "Not much:'
No doubt the Ambassador has been pleased
with Mr. Howe's public acceptance of the in-
vitation to visit South America in 1953. Gov
ernment trade experts and private businessmen
will accompany the Minister and the group's
tour should be most beneficial to Canada.
To a great extent this country has over-
looked South America. There are great op-
portunities there for Canadian,e,
THE EVENING CITIZEN of Ottawa re-
cently reported an interview with Nis Excel-
lency Heitor Lyra, the Brazilian .Ambassador
to Canada. The Citizen recounts that Mr, Lyra's
theme to Canadians is "Let's get together" and
that as a means of getting his country together
with ours Mr. Lyra had just invited Trade
Minister Howe to visit Brazil early next year.
Mr. Lyra pointed out that Brazil is Latin
America's biggest buyer of Canadian goods.
When he was asked what Canada brought from
A Dangerous Institution ?
THERE IS MUCH in the public record of
Mr. Aneurin Bevan and his followers to sug-
gest that sinister alien influences deeply in-
fluence much of their thinking. No more
concrete example could be imagined, how-
ever, than Iblr. Bevan's recent utterances con-
cerning the Royal Family.
The Royal Family, in Mr. Bevan's opinion,
is a dangerous institution. It is a dangerous
institution, so Mr. Bevan believes, because it
may be used, just as Karl Marx believed
religion was used, to distract the British people
frorn their own wrongs. To borrow Karl Marx'
famoes phrase, the Royal Family, like re-
ligion, is but `the opiate of the people'.
Such being the case, it may be supposed
that one of Mr. Bevan's first acts, were he
ever to occupy Number 10 Downing Street,
would be to abolish the Crown and impose a
new and alien constitution upon the British
people. The fact that Mr. Bevan has revealed
his views regarding the Royal Family is, hap-
pily, the best possible guarantee that he will
never achieve a place of power in the public
life of the United Kingdom.
Socialist circles in Canada, already serious-
ly infected with the germ of Bevanism, will
probably find it expedient, lest they be accus-
ed of `deviatfonism', to have theNational
Council of the CCP party utter a proclamation
endorsing Mr, Bevan's views . on Royalty.
PETER, of the BACK SHOP.
"The moon on the breast of the
new -fallen snow, gave a lustre of
noon -day to object below." That's
a picture of ideal conditions for
St, Nick's ride, and the weather
we've been having recently has
just been like that. We were
slipping and sliding down the back
alley the other evening on our
way .to talk over with an old
crony the events and excitement
of the election when we happened
to hit an especially slippy spot
and landed flat on our back.
IO
And while we were reclining
there wondering whether to
shift our rheumatic joints into
motion and get up again, we
noticed the stars and Old Moon
staring down at us. Man, oh
man, that State of Texas has
nothing over Huron County,
when it comes to the stars at
night! They're the brightest,
twinkliest, friendliest lights
ever! And that old Moon! Why
we soon decided to change direc-
tion and go visit Minnie instead.
Talk about a Harvest Moon!
They may he all right, but Tues-
day night's December moon can-
not be beat.

We do, however, want to con-
gratulate you People on the elec-
tion held this week. There was a
good bit more interest shown this
year than last, at least we heard
the Town Clerk mention about 64
per cent of the possible voters had
made the trip to the polls. That's
pretty good. Not really good, you
know, but it's improving. Now, if
you just Hollow that up by getting
out to Council meetings and help-
ing by your presence, these good
fellows you've supported, you'll be
doing even better.
E E
Wethave one regret, only, and
that is that there seems a
dearth of lady politicians in
Clinton. Seems that Clinton's a
little bit behind there. Now if
we could have a real good lady
reeve or mayor, or councillor,
we might have an entry in the
International Ploughing Match
of 1953 and be ready to enter
the competition!
Presbytery of Huron -Maitland
The Presbytery of Huron -Mait-
land of the Presbyterian Church
in. Canada met in St. Andrew's
Church, Wingham, on Tuesday,
December 2, for morning and af-
ternoon sederunts, with the Mod-
erator, Rev. D. G. Campbell, Sea -
forth, presiding.
The meeting was constituted
with scripture reading and prayer
and after the roll was called, the
docket of business was set forth
and accepted.
The response to the letter ad-
dressed by Presbytery to the var-
ious congregations within the
bounds was such that a committee
of Presbytery was appointed to
visit several charges to discover
their financial strength and the
requirements of each congregation
needing augmentation, to meet the
new standard of minister's stip-
ends as adopted by the General
Assembly in June last.
For the information of the
court, Rev. A. Nimmo, Wingham,
outlined the plan under considera-
tion, for the conducting of "Even-
ing Chapel" services, through the
broadcasting facilities of CKNX.
A special meeting of Presbytery
was set for January 29 at Wing -
ham to consider the contents of a
letter received from General As-
sembly's committee of The Church
and The Nation.
Presbytery approved a change
of time for the meeting of the
Synod of Hamilton and London
from the springtime to the fall, in
order further to improve the
carrying out of the business of the
Synod.
Rev. J. Pollock, Wingham, spon-
sored a letter of condolence, which
is to be sent by the Clerk, Rev, D.
J. Lane, to the widow of the late
Rev. James Foote, a recent mem-
ber of the Court.
Assistance was voluntarily of-
fered J. G. Mullen, the esteemed
treasurer of Presbytery, in his
work by Rev, A. J. Simpson, Tees -
water.

The earlier a case of tuber-
culosis is found the shorter the
time the patient is likely to spend
in hospital and the' better the
chance that there will be no re-

cases early is therefore one of
the chief uses of Christmas Seal
