He said quietly, "But I'm going.”
After a moment he added, "King
Waters has some half-baked notion
of giving me a farewell party, if
there’s time. If he so much as tries
it. I'll choke him.”
"1*11 choke him for you,” Sarah
promised, laughing not very suc
cessfully. “Tell Dace I'll.be up to
see her tomorrow; there’s some
thing I must talk over with her.”
Early in the morning Andy* took
Candace to the hospital. A day and
a night and another day, and their
son, a fine seven-pound baby, Mich
ael, was born.
The girl in the other bed, Stacy
O'Neill, had a son, too, born six
hours before Michael, She had been
married four years, <Jier husband
was somewhere with the Marines;
Her mother, a woman of deliberate
movement and great tranquility,
was almost as much interested in
Candace and her baby as in her
own daughter’s experience. Mrs.
Connors mothered both girls impar
tially, admired their babies and
praised the present generation from
the depths of her charitable heart.
One morning Stacy, looking very
young and pretty against her pil
lows, meii^ioned that her mother
had borne eight children. “She
still believes in large families. But
she has the sweetest heart in the
world—she .loves each one of us
enough to let us live oui* own lives.”
Stacy shook her fluffy bob. "Ileav-

dren and her home, I want to act—

Andy had brought Sarah Daffodil
as soon as visitors were permitted.
Sarah had made coffee, had let him
talk tq her in the hours when he
could do nothing at the hospital.
Then he tramped back to the empty
apartment, mainly because it fur
nished him the task of walking to
the hospital again. Drinking her
excellent strong coffee, he had giv

for visitors.
Sarah announced that she brought
the congratulations of everyone in
the house. “They all sent their love
to you and tho baby and ’they'll be

hope the nurses suggest that they
stagger their visits. You look love

She had seen the display of ba-*
foies, she commented, arranging the
crimson roses she had brought in
a fan shaped-vase and placing it on
the dresser where Stacy could also
see the splash of color reflected in
the glass.

that her knees buckled wheh she

“Did you say you’d wheel him?”
Candace’s dark eyes turned to meet
Sarah’s blue ones.
She had intended to talk about
that the night when Michael had
taken matters into his own hands,
Sarah said. “You see, Dace, my dear,
I want you to let me care for the

The Prices Board at Ottawa has
announced that all retail sales of
canned salmon have been “frozen”
until January 17, when coupon
tioning of the product becomes
fective.
The announcement said
“freeze” period was to allow time
for distribution of stocks from Pa
cific Coast canneries to the trade.
Beginning January 17, retail
sales will be on the basis of one
quarter of a pound of salmon per
coupon. Valid meat coupons in ra
tion books and ration cards will be
used and it thus will be an alter

“Baby Bonus
The arguments, pro and con,
the “baby bonus” having subsided,
with the cons emerging victorious,
we are left wondering whether or
not the cases put forward in the
matter can
bring to the
weaknesses,
some of our
relate to Canada’s child population.
One of the arguments made
against the baby bonus plan appears
to have been that it would fie re
flected in a disproportionate increase
in the birth rate amongst certain
groups which might not, in the main,
add
low
the
and
words, that some parents would be
more interested in the bonus than
in the child.
The Times-Advocate does not pro
pose to enter opinion in this contro
versial aspect of the plan but it
does seem to us that if the Govern
ment is as concerned as it would
appear to be about the quality and
numbers of Canadian childhood,
present and to be, and anxious that
young Canadians should be. afforded
the best possible mental and physical
care and training, that two definite
steps are called for—firstly an over
hauling of our immigration laws
before the rush of immigrants is al
lowed to resume, to ensure that new
comers are desirables and not types
which might tend to lower the
of our people and—secondly, a scan
ning of the home scene to determine
the cause of the low birthrate among
st our So called “middle classes”--
the good decent hardworking citizens
who look upon tlielr children not only
as a blessing but as a great responsi
bility.
It is the lattei’ people, white
collar workers, skilled labourers and
the like, along with out fanners
who go to comprise the middle class
es, who in turn make up the greater
part, in point of numbers, of tho
income tax paying public; to-day
they are accepting taxation with its
accompanying forced economies,
cheerfully, The tragedy of it is that
amongst the things which must be
economized on * is the numbers of
the family, for no one except per
haps young men recently emerged
from college With a high sounding
degree and utter lack of knowledge
of things practical, or a politician
who accepts nearly as much in tax
free motor car allowance as many
families have to live upon, could
by any stretch of the imagination
consider $108. sufficient income tax
exemption allowance for the food,
clothing and general care of an ‘in
fant, let alone the older child. And
so children, amongst the income tax
paying groups of ^Canadians of mod
est means, are as a matter of neces
sity coming to be looked upon as
luxuries, much to be desired, but
beyond the family purse of those who
do not want to bring into the world
children whom they cannot properly
raise and .give a good start in life.
Hence to
the many
the fewer
to-day.
We admire the Minister of Finance
for his stand against inflation and
his effort in keeping Canada’s war
time economy sound, and we agree
that the income tax, equitably levied
and enforced, is basically as fair a
system of taxation as we know of—-
but even if it has to be increased In
some other* direction, amend it so
as to give Canadian childhood an
even break. Let us not penalize
the best types of parenthood by de
nying them sufficient, at least in
reasonable part,' income tax exemp
tion to provide for children—the
same children which after all are
our country’s greatest asset.
