CANADA
and CHINA...
Canada has been a nation for not quite a hundred
years. In that time Canadians have earned a way of
life unequalled outside North America and not even
approached by countries whose histories go back
thousands of years . . countries such as China.
Part of Canada's success comes' from her ability
to produce steel. Canada, with a population under
18,000,000, produced 660 pounds of steel per perion
last year. China, with a 'population of 600,000,000,
turned out 25 pounds per person.
This higher productivity comes from the factories
Canadians have built. For example, The Steel Comp-
any of Canada, Limited has invested more than
$300,000,000 in its plants and equipment since 1940.
Canadians produce more mainly because Canadian
companies • are continually improving their plants and
equipment,

SAME ARGUMENT
The Editor:
Arguments for a "Yes" vote 'on
a local option vote are usually the
same arguments: convenience,
ligalizing illegal activities, and so
on. Quite often, however in an,
effort to influence public opinion,
an effort is made to cloud the
issue. •
If the real reason that those
who wish the affirmative vote, is
a desire for increased availability
of alcoholic beverages, all well and
good. We simply wish that they
would! be honest about it,
When "responsible individuals"
claim that Clinton's. economy de-
pends on an increasing availabil-
ity of beverage alcohol, we would
seriously question such a conten-
t405.. To be specific, "as long as
many prices for goods of many
'varieties rare 'high, or 'as long as
certain types of goo& (not includ-
ing alcohol) are not available at
home, Clintonians will shop in
Stratford, London, or wherever
else that's handy. No longer is a
journey of 35 to 50 miles consid-
ered 'prohibitive. Toe,say that
making beverage ,aleonel e joeally
available will Inal(e`AnTanir. more
people do more .of their Shopping
locally, is ridiculous.
- There are many argUments for
the sale of beverage 'alcohol lo-
cally which have a certain amount

ONLY WORST GASES
Dear Editor:
I don't think capital punish-
ment should be dropped but I do
think severe punishment should be
used in more of the worst case%
such as assault, kidnapping and
robberies that involve bodily in-
jury-
When I say severe I mean the
lashes and also televised for all
to see. It appears to me that if
we stop severe punishment there
will be more lives lost only they
will be innocent lives instead of
guilty lives,

FRED'S VIEW!
The Editor;
Since it is almost impossible
to find any Technical School or
College that offers a course in
evecutioaing, I.find my conscience
bathers me every time I wish to
hang one of my undesirable neigh-
bours and pay an amateur to do
my dirty work.
There must be a better way.
When we want the undesirable
neighbour killed, could we pay a
doctor of medicine to do the job
as a person most able to end a
life most effectively? or perhaps
a priest of some church, since we
send him to the condemned citi-
zen, and by his training he would
be the one most likely to know
just the most suitable moment to
separate a soul from its body, or
put asunder that which God has
joined together.
Or the fairest• plan would be to
look over the list' of neighbours
and ,pick an adult at random
somewhat as we pick a neighbour
for jury duty.
The man or woman- so picked
could visit the prisoner any time
after sentence has been 'pronounc-
ed by an unwilling judge and then
could stab him ar her, or shoot
him or her, or perhaps -just drop
a cyanide tablet in the coffee of
his last supper . . . it would make
no difference what method is used
so long 'as the man dies.
As decent citizens' we should
not ask somebOdy else to do owl
unpleasant tasks.

AGREEMENT HERE
Dear Editor:
In one of the January issues of
"The United Church Observer" we
read an editorial "The Death Sen-
tence Must Go,"
In February 15 edition of the
same paper I noticed this answer:
Soft Headed
Dear Sir: Your editorial, "The
Death. Sentence Must Go," is an
exhibition of men becoming so
soft-hearted 'that they become
sett-headed; . . It will be most
refreshing, sir, when we read of
your interest in the victims of
cold-blooded crimes, which are In-
as in the perpetrators of these
sadistic and cruel murders as well
creasing.„
The present Dominion Cabinet
is showing a lack of moral cour-
age in dealing with men who
would just as soon ” kill as eat.
There are a few men who deser-
ve in the ease of murder sonic
leniency, but they are very few.
