What Does Charlie 11)o, Anyway? leheWh4t CIPPe a Minister of Higb,. ways do in Ontario? Many folk have had this question flit through their minds during the past two weeks. In the last provincial election, people in Huron either voted .for Charles MacNaughton, or they voted for his rival, or they stayed .at home and did neither, But whether they voted for him. or not, Huron people now have repre- senting them in Toronto, the first full- fledged cabinet minister they ever had, The Hon. Charles S. MacNaughton holds one of the most important posts in the Ontario Government, "The Department of Highways is responsible for the planning, construc- tion and maintenance of all King's Highways and secondary highways throughout the province and for the enforcement of statutes and regulations with respect to them." (Quoted from the 1962 Guide to Services of the On- tario Government). Included in this brief statement of responsibility is the job of overseeing a staff of between 11,500 and 12,000 men and women; the spending of about $274,300,000 annually (the figures for 1962.6,3 fiscal year); the care of 12,109,4 miles of provincial highways, and indirectly those county, urban and. rural highways and streets which are ,affected by the department's ppliey. Altogether the department is con- cerned with .85,90341 miles of road- ways, which .(as the weekly editor in Exeter has figured out) would wrap three times around the earth, if they could be laid end to end, Though Mr, MacNaughton is cautious about statements of future. plans until he gets settled in his new job, he does foresee that when the costly work on Highway 401 and the Trans-Canada are completed, the gov- ernment plans to look at what can be done in shifting emphasis toward assist- ing urban and rural municipal road programs, Charles' second name seems particularly appropriate to a man in charge of such a large task. Charles Steel MacNaughton. What could be better for one . who is going to be officially opening bridges, snipping rib- bons on new roadways and causeways, dealing with a stern hand in all those major matters which must come up in a business involving so many dollars and so many people. Excellent Move When you put a woman in a posi- tion where she can make some practical changes in the overload of paperwork with which many government depart- ments are saddled, something gets done. We congratulate Postmaster-Gen- eral Ellen Fairclough in her recent move in that department. Postage on newspapers is paid on the basis of weight. Until now news- papers have been delivered to the post office and then they have been weighed, sorted and sent on their way. This, as you can easily understand, takes time. In many of the larger post offices, a serious bottleneck occurs. Mrs. Fairclough reports a gradual abandonment of this arrangement. The post office department is going to make use of figures available from the Audit Bureau of Circulations (to which this newspaper and many others belong). Combined with periodic audits by the post office department, the job will be done without the tedious job of weigh- ing papers each day, or each week. We wouldn't be a bit surprised if this move helped to speed up the deliv- ery of newspapers to the people who subscribe to them. How much money is involved? Mrs. Fairclough says that last year the post office took in more than $6,600,000 for handling newspapers and magazines. We're glad to see this move being undertaken. We are happy to note that Mrs. Fairclough is proceeding with such a practical step. We are looking for- ward to seeing even more of these moves. Buy at Home (Tillsonburg News) Buy more at home and sell more abroad sums up an Ontario government campaign to produce the necessary extra jobs to keep people working. Both Premier Robarts and Econo- mics and Development Minister Mac- aulay have laid the statistics on the line recently. The average Canadian spends $236 per year on imported goods, compared to $50 in Britain and West Germany and $32 in the United States. It takes $10,000 worth of business to create one job in Ontario industry, Therefore, if we reduce imports by $100 per person and increase home manufactures by the $600,000,000 more a year, we would produce jobs for 60,000 persons. There are things, of course, that we are going to continue importing, but it doesn't sound out of the way to swing that percentage of our buying to home- grown and home-made products. The government is doing its best to get manufacturers to take an ener- getic approach towards filling a greater part of the home-market demand and is actively associating in the effort--to promote more markets abroad for Cana- dian products, arranging sales missions, opening trade offices and setting up manufacturers agencies abroad. There is nothing very much wrong with Canada or its economy that can't be solved by the energy of its people. It will take enthusiastic leadership to get Canadians rolling — and this the Ontario government is trying to pro- vide.

Remembrance- Day, Armistice Day, whatever name we call it by, should be a time of ee-dech ication of ourselves to the nev- er-ending struggle for Peace. How clearly we saw this need here in 'Canada during the past few weeks, when we were in- formed of 'the great threat on one door-step 'from 'Cuba True, that country is small, but still large enough to' accommodate bagels for nuclear weapon's Which could have reduced this continent to a memory. Thank God for the "Peacemaker" we have at the head of 'the govern- ment 'of the United 'States! One of the greatest of the Beatitudes, found' in Matthew 5:9 ".Blessed are 'the ' peace- makers, for 'they 'shall be call- ed ,children of God," is a text to ponder at this' time. On examination of these words we notice that Jesus is not saying: Blessed are peace- ful people. There is nothing noble in being a peaceful per- son, 'even 'a coward is that. Nor does He say: Blessed are peace- loving -people, but His words are 'clearly telling us that Peace is riot 'given to 'us as a gift, but it is something we must work at, in Fact Make. The Rev. C. Andrew Lawson, in ,one of his sermons puts it this way, "The peacemakers to- day are 'those `'who are engaged in a fight against everything that ends in open conflict. Strange 'as' it may seem, a peacemaker is 'a fighter! When we understand that peace is something that has to 'be made; when no sacrafice is too great to be made for it; when no amount of money is too great to ,be spent on it, then we will be well on the way to 'achieving peace. But not un- til then." We may ask ourselves how we as individuals can help . in this constant struggle?. I believe each one of us can 'help lay 'the foundation for future builders of ,peaceful countries by ex- whining the 'atmosphere of our 'homes. The number of homes breaking up, the husbands and wives who are unfaithful and the number of 'children turning out 'to be delinquents, is shock- ing. The home is the fleet small cell or unit off society and' hould be a pattern, in miniature, for the civic councils, provincial legislatures and ,finally the gov- ernment of our whole 'country. We really have no right to talk -about unity mid' co'-ope:ration 'among nations unless we, pract- ice these things in our homes and amongst neighbours. Let us establish peace and harmony in our homes; elimin- ate the nagging and selfishness of individuate at this level and show our young people .a good example of -ca-operation mid service to each other. Let us etop being selfish and self-iceintred 'that we cannot list- en 'to the ether fellow and his problems. Often by merely list- ening, we find 'our troubles slip from us. Show your children courtesy by listening to their probleme. Don't laugh at them, .but help their". You will find yourselves laughing 'together later. Give your young people 'advice when it is required, but remember, no one can talk in an atmosphere of quarreling and hate. Let us work at the. job 'of creating peace in 'the family cirele to encourage our young people to bring their worries, to us and not have 'them wearieg off their frustrations by break- ing the laws of the country. This will not be an overnight campaign, but one requiring peade of mind in each of us as individuals; reminding ourselves perhaps daily that our efforts will succeed if We persevere, Eventually it will spread' to the 'little ;areas where we live and could -do much to help pro- mote 'the work of -the national "Peacemakers" throughout the world.
