WELL TO PONDER
The latest issue of Industry, the mon-
thly pelalication for the Canadian Manufact-
urera Assoelatiorr, quotes from Walter Har,.
res, the federal Minister of Finance, thusly'.:
".Oneath'ird of •the annual income of the
Canadian people is taken away from therein
the form of federal, provincial and municipal
taxes, This is a situation worth pondering,"
In considering the viewpoint of the average
factory worker, or farmer, or liusnessman, it
Would appear to us a quite obvious fact, that
a, very few of them ever pay much attention
to this thing, The average w age•e'arnex wound
find ithard to believe, and in fact would pro -
bailee not have. the interest to work out the per-
centage of his own earnings got ig out in taxes.
There has been a requisite of .good church-
goers since very early history, that one-tenth of
a mean's ,possessions belonged to the c'hurch..After
alt, man lives on 'earth by the Grace of God, and
it was' reasoned that onestenth of Farris made
WELL, WHAT D
' DO YOU KNOW what the Colombo plan
is?
,If not, or maybe even if you do, you will
be surprised to learn that yeti, your wife, and
each .one of your children. have so far spent $8
in the achievement of the principles' of the Nan.
So ,far, in the six year the plan has beep
working, Canada has contributed $25,000,000
each year, and this year the amount will be
$33,000,000. This is equivalent to $8 from every
man, woman, and child in the country.
H you know what the Coloxrvbo plan is, then
you axe wiser than 94 percent of the people in
Canada. Perhaps, here in Clinton, you have a
better chance of knowing about the Colombo
plan than in some other sections of the country.
It was just -Gyve years ago that a gentleman
from Paltistan, spent a month int Clinton, visit-
ing with agriculture workers, paying calls at.
farms, studeing farm machinery, Canadian cus-
toms, and generally the way of life as int, is
familiar to us', He became a regular visitor to
our office and we were .greatly impressed with
• DROP TIIAT HAMMER!
(Wingham Advance -Tunes)
SURELY READERS of e Montreal news -
.paper must have• Tubbed ,their eyes, says the.
Financial Post, when they came across anaitem
which stated that afarmer's son had been
fined for doing carpentry work without a
lacen'se.. In court the father said it was. true
that his son had no carpentry papers from the
Rroyinciai Joint Committee an the Building
Trades. "They caught him on a school building:
with a hammer in his hands," he eanfessed.
Professionalism is being monied pretty far
indeed when the law steps in and: prevents
anyone from working with common .. tools.
There is more work waiting to .be done in this
country than there are people available to do iRt.
We need all thei help we can get and anyone
with gumption and push who wants to pitch in
and help should be encouraged, . not penalized.
There are only a very few jobs where the state
es justified it •barring the eager amateur. The
more competition the better for all of u5,
HALF PRICE SALE
THE FAItMER in the United States who
posted a .sign on his, barn, had an idea. rt
read in splashy Large Ietterd, "Prices Slashed,
Pigs Half Price".
It would seem reasonable to supposethat
no man should have to sell goods which he
has laboured to produce, for less than the
cost price to. him. And yet, that is the situa-
tion in which many farriers find themselves
right now„ as in other times years ago.
The cynical may say, "Oh, lots of farmers
don't even • know what their costs are. They
just grumble when prices go down a little,"
That may have been true some years ago.
But with radio, television, more and more
newspapers, and more and more people read-
ing them --besides the increased use of adult
training classes in, farm' economics, we doubt
that many farmers are unaware of costs,
They most certainly are aware that there
is more money going out than there is doming
in. And we think the farmer who advertised
to trig passing motorist and consurner that his
pigs were being sold at half price was doing
the wise thing.
Perhaps If there were more education of
the consumer in the costs of food production,
coupled with sonic idea of what -percent of
the purchase price finds, its way to the farm -
eta there would be more appreciation of the
bad situation le Which the farriers find them-
selves,

of God'a earth should be returned to Him for the
purpose .ot the work of His church.
Anyone who 'has had access to a financial
report for any one of our Churches', local, in
the big 'cities, or in the _country parishes, 'Will
`know that the 'number of :people who aatu'a)ly
adhere to thus, 'feeling that a tenth for the Lord's
work is a fair share,. Is very, small, indeed. So
smell, we would conjecture, as to" be barely
worthy of a tluglt,
We are pondering this.
P.
1'erha s the reason,,. why the federal, pro-
elncial and municipal taxes are paid, while the
share to the Lord is not, is tha,t worker's for the
Lord have yet to discover the devices e " deduc-
tion at the source," hidden taxes, and other fn-
sidiaus devices. The Lord perhaps prefers the
honest man, whowill turn over hie tithe if he
wishes, or whatever axixount he feels he right-
ly can. •
• Perhaps, too, one reason the Lord is not
getting his fair share is because the lowly work-
ing man has such a big share to -pay in taxes.
0- YOU KNOW! -
the wisdom and enthusiasm of this man.
Ghulam. Than (that was his name)' loaned
us several Books printed about his homeland,
and we were impressed with the literacy and
education in world affairs and different types • of
government, as shown by the writers of these
books.
Mr. Khan was a student visiting Canada
under the Cohen*, plan, He and a group of
others like him visited oute country to s'ee how
we use aterder e machinery so that he could go
back to his own country, where fund's were being
used (from Canada, the U.S.A. and other partic-
ipating countries) to build irrigation, systems,?
dams, supplies of machinery, and there he was
going tor teach. his countrymen what he had
learned here.
That is .the Colombo plan. It is a matter
of helping other nations to improve their stan-
dardof laving so that they can .produce enough
foodto keep themselvesa healthy and happy.
. For that you and every other Canadian, has
contnibured.
WHAT IS A CUSTOMER?
A CUSTOMER is the • most 'important
person iry our business. A customer is not
favour by given gees the opportunity to do
ane interruption of our Work -he is the
Iseeeese of it, . We are not doing hien a ,
favour by serving him, he is doing us a
we are dependent upon eche. A customer is
so. A. customer is not dependent upon 'us -
not an outsider to bur business -he is pant
of " us, A customer is not a cold statistic-
/he
tatisttic,he is a flesh and blood human being with
feelings and emotions, biases and pre
judices. A customer is• not someone to
arguehr match wits with. Nobody ever,.won
an argument with a customer. A. customer
is a person wha brings us his wants. It is
our 'Job to handle them profitably to him •
d!
ano ourselves.
. ■ *
This is the credo of merchants everywhere,
and might well be taken for rule of thumb in
dealing with any customer, in whatever line of
business a person may be in. It is published
with this in mind, . and is taken verbatim from -
a copy of ,The Traveller.
SPEAK OF SAFETY?
THE MA7CT,EE of safety on the highways
has come to be the business of everyone.
Mothers should be extremely .interested in: em-
phasizing the rules or safety to their children,
for with the young is formed thebasis of future
attention to safety,for thenlseives and for
others.
Though the mention' of safety, the posters,
the campaigns have been going on for years,
their program has been accelerated along with
the heed for increased care on the roads, in the
ffelds! acid in the homes.
"Safe driving is,above all else, a question
of proper driver attitudes and behaviour,"
states the Hon, James N. Allan,'" Minister of
Highways. ' His attitude is right. And , those
same principles learned in the home, in the
schools, and elsewhere gill stand the student in
good Stead when he gets into traffic. '
Emphasis Is being placed' on the good which
will torte of .forceful speakers continuingato talk
of safety on various occasions. At practically
every meeting there is room for a five-minute
talk an some aspect of safety. 1t is important
to the people of our country,
Te this ere . the Department of Highways
has ,produced a useful little kit with ideas and
information on the topic of traffic laws and
safety. .7 ,equests for this smell kit may be dila
eoted to the Motor Vehicles Brander, Department
of Highways, Parliament Buildings, Toronto.
They aro availaible far linii.ted distribution and
are intended for a basis upon which a speech
may be made.

From the
West Window
(By CATHERINE PLU.MTREE)
"The most delightful aspect of The bare, flooe-packed earth of
a few weeks ago is covered now
with growing green things. The
soil is generous and out -giving,
free from its gifts and uncompli-
cated by pettiness. It requires
only sunshine and warm rain, the
right seed and a.- little cultivation
to produce results of which one
can be proud. No guesswork
about it. If one has planted on-
ions or carrots, the harvest is not
squash or beans or an inedible
hybrid,.
plantinga' garden: if one can man-
age to put it off longenough, ev-
entually it will be too late." -
quote from an •unknown philoste
pher. This neat phrasing of an
obvious truth tickles the sense of
humor, as it was meant to do, but
I disagree heartily \with the idea.
contained in it. Only an anti -
gardener or one who gardens un-
der pressure could have thought
of it.
To me, it would be a minor`'
tragedy if it became too late to,
plant a garden and; watch it grow.
Not necessarily a large garden,
planted with a view to saving
money in buying vegetables. Its
care could be a major chore and
an intolerable ,burden under the
summer sun, But a few rows of
vegetalbi'es and flowers, generous
spaces of good black earth be-
tween the rows and a surrounding
carpet of well -kept grass is with-
in the scope of the most indolent,
A great many words have been
written en the '• subject of the
beauties of a garden; and the
spiration gained from eomm,union
with it. But, just now, X ane con-
cerned Chiefly Wath the value of
gardening as used for remedial
purposes. X know a no surer cure
for the sense of futility that some-
times overtakes the moat balanced
and adjusted person, In these
moments when nothing we have
ever done or ever will do seems
to have the sliglUtest real signifi-
cance, it can be a most potent
source of reassurance.
Nothing stands still in a garden.
In no ether form of creative
work with which; I am acquainted
are the results ce labor SO primp
by and so usefully seen, or so pre-
dictable, but the results gained
from it are not always to be meas-
ured in terms of a visible product.
The work involved is -beneficial in
itself, if not carried to excess (a
little hard work goes a very' long
way with me) and it provides a
powerful antidote to some of the
frustrations of itdor work, A' few
minutes vigorous cultivation of
the gardenwptot is a welcome re-
lief for a tense spirit and a release
or any ,destructive tendencies
which array be regrettably lurking
to cause trouble. One can des-
troy a weed with a clear con-
Sciencee and the comfortable know-
ledge of a good deed well done,
And then, when all is well with
us once more, it is pleasant to sit
and contemplate the tangible proof
of our creative spirit (which has
been materially assisted by Nata
ure) and to feel ourselves- to be a
useful! part of a pattern which; ex•
