Social Credit, involving a month­ ly dividend, or more properly a basic dividend, is a highly ethical phase to economics. Now ethics itself is the every day exemplification of Divine principles. At this Easter season let us recol­ lect and review some of little teach­ ings of Jesus that have been so re­ cited and repeated they have be­ come common place and somewhat submerged if indeed not quite dis­ credited: "The earth- is the Lord’s.” "Bear ye one another’s burdens.” "Give and lend .hoping for nothing again.” Charity is generally un­ derstood as the giving to those less favoured. Have we observed well- to-do people who spurned a gift from one of low estate. Such an at­ titude denotes the most positive lack of the charitable spirit. The essence ■of (Social 'Credit depends on the willingness of fortunate people, the shrewd, the capable, to place oppor­ tunity in the way of the masses of humanity. Priority has been a man­ date in the old order. Society must now consider that every human be­ ing is human, that every human be­ ing lias certain and well defined rights; as for instance the right to food, clothing and shelter. It is commonly conceded that "if a man work not, neither shall he eat.” There are the big financiers, They produce nothing: they have no claim on! the fruit of the earth. Again two men go to work. Each receives a dollar. The ome buys food for his family, his dollar is gone. The other a benedict, uses his dollar a bond. It bears interest, comes when the children family worked to pay the on the other man’s dollar. Credit undertakes to recognize the investment that is made in the rear­ ing of children, truly an investment that, should be recognized. So in Alberta we plan to allot re­ cognition to the people by virtue of their humanity. The earning power of the individual is not the whole consideration. There is a cultural heritage in modern .civilization that demands observance; it shall not be pilfered. Social 'Credit is a consider­ ation for humanity. Let the day dawn. In answer to the query regarding Opportunities for nursing service in the Peace River District DL Mar­ garet 'Strang Savage, of Dixonville, Alta., makes a stirring appeal in the current issue of The Presbyterian Record# the official magazine of the Presbyterian 'Church in 'Canada. "There’s something cruelly wrong when' the need for nursing help cries aloud, and when nurses from* far and near are willing and ready to go. All they ask is a living and experience and a chanice to serve. But between the need and those who can fill it there is a great gulf fixed. No funds! No money! Not even enough to keep a'nurse alive.” The letter was written to Dr. Kan- nawim, general secretary for Sunday Schools and Young People’s Socie­ ties, who had been asked by a nurse regarding the opportunities in the north. Dr. Savage Who is well known locally having graduated in 1029 from the Medical School here, has been carrying .on a splendid ser­ vice for the settlers in the far re­ moved parts of the Dominion. This summer she has asked for six weeks’ vacation because she finds her health will not stand the strain of caring for the people. Who is to Pay? Wumfiig and Advice "To all who would serve on a fron­ tier like this however, warning and advice should be given first, and they would be wise to digest that advice carefully. In the first place this IS a hard, hard country on women. Hard for those who live at home. Doubly, tieby hard for those who must travel in all weather, at any time of night or day, and whether they themselves are well or not. Last night it was 47 below zero with a strong wind out of the north-west. I faced it for two miles and a half on l'oot5 and travelled half that distance walking backwards, for I could not face it for more than a few minutes at a time without being severely frost-bitten. We haven’t many nights like that, but I have suffered severe­ ly on long trips when it was only a ■few degrees below zero. "Accommodation in these pioneer homes for a nurse or even a wayfar­ ing doctor is often hard to find. Too little bedding for themselves to say nothing of a guest. Moral, ’take thy bed along’! And the fleas! J I’ll never forget on'e night this past fall, I sat up for the best part of the night on a bench with my head on the table because the fleas in the bed were just too much for me! Cold wet rains in the summer, miles from with no slicker, are almost than freezing. "I’m not complaining. I’m ! 1 ! turn or I of others.

THURSDAY, APRIL gSid, l»3(i Why I bought a Pension Bond from Confederation Life 44 AS a business woman, I realized that, no matter how efficient I am now, there will come a time when I most stop working. So, while I am now earning a good salary, I have bought a Pension Bond from the Confederation Life Association. Then, when I must give up work, I know that I shall have an income guaranteed for life. t4My Confederation Life Bond has many valuable features, but the Monthly Income Total Disability Bene­ fit particularly appealed to me.

I have had letters from all over Canada from nurses, longing to be of some real service to humanity and reckoning not the cost of service to themselves. And I’ve had to ans­ wer them all the same. Work.? No end of it. And crying to be done. But who will undertake for them. These people cannot afford to pay nurses' fees. Often it hurts them to pay for mere medicine to say nothing of the doctor’s .services. They need nursing most of all they need a Christian friend who in helping and teaching will also point the way to the Great Physician and bear them along the road to Him. “I know homes in this wide coun­ try where a Christian nurse would be a heaven-sent blessing.

In it is told the interest­ ing story of a farmer who some years ago planted a ravine with .ordinary ■woodland trees* including spruce and pine, for beauty and shade for his stock. He has both of these and last winter he cut eight cords of wood of surplus growth or broken-down trees, leaving an improved appearance to the lot. The Post believes there are many ■farms where similar action would result in great benefit to the next generation of .fanners if not to this on'e. This short unpretentious but high­ ly interesting article should appeal to every farmer throughout the land who has a piece of untillable land. The [Forestry Department will sup­ ply a large number of trees to every farmer who will take care of them and where the number is large will send a imanl to hel<p in the planting. The farmer can make his choice of trees. Sometimes trees .of a years growth can be secured neighboring farm. in many woodlots there are open spaces that can be enclosed with a few strands of barbed wife, thus giv­ ing a protected area where trees er nuts could be sown .or planted. Wal­ nuts would do well in such places and would be very valuable in time. .Hard maples, ash, basswood, etc., would iprove a fine source of revenue in time. Beckler, of Goderich., trucks logs for lumber, not only from all Over Huron County but from the counties of Middlesex, Perth and Bruce. Some towns in Sweden col­ lect no taxes because they own a woodlot. Farmers in time might secure a goodly percentage of their taxes from these woodlots. If one-fifth, of ou.r country were covered with forest we would have a larger rainfall, more conserved moisture in the summer time fewer droughts and very mucli better crops generally. All farms are improved in appear­ ance by a row of trees along the roadside. This need shot take too much trouble to have. I remember congratulating one farmer on the fine appearance of .his ihome, owing to the large number of trees along the roadside and on each side of the long lane leading to the farm build­ ings. He said he had taken one half day each spring to plant trees, did not miss that amount of time but was pleased with the result. If all the roads iii a county had a row of trees on each side they would form a fine wind break to the scorehin'g, drying winds of summer, thus cooling the atmosphere and pro­ viding iroal conditions for the ripen- and um- of .15 YEARS AGO April 28, 1921 Mr. and Mrs. W.

RURAL CHILD EDUCATION Education costs were out of portion) to the returns, Henry H. Boyes, of Meaford, president of the Ontario Educational Association’s said: President Boyes estimated 10 years of schooling cost $750 and the average cost of raising a child to ma­ turity was $5*000. A greater return could be gained .froim< the cost in a type of education which would pro­ vide a better grounid-work of gener­ al knowledge, he said.
