Concerning Laws
In the days of our innocence we believed
that laws were to be enforced. Later on we were
to learn that when a IhW was broken the en-
forecement depended upon whose ox was gored*
Still later we learned that when some laws or
some law was broken, or was right there on the
booj^s and calling for attention, that it was the
proper thing for a cabinet or some such body to
have meetings to decide about the enforcement,
as to when action should be taken, that is. Then,
too, in those salad days we had the impression
that officers and judges and such people were
to enforce all laws. That early impression is
rapidly becoming dim now it seems, in a musty
sort of way, that we must have a special set of
officers to enforce special laws. We are wonder
ing-if we must have a special set of officers to
enforce laws put on the books by every law-
making body. Suppose a township makes a law
for any purpose within its jurisdiction. Does
that municipality require special constables and
magistrates and judges of one degree and an
other to see that municipal law is put into ac
tion. Does the same rule apply to the county
councils and the provinces and the dominion
and so on and on. We wonder and wonder? The
township passed this law, we say. Then let the
township enforce it and so on and on again.
We confess ourself sorely bewildered by the
way things are done.

A Central Heating Plant
We overheard a sober-minded group of
citizens discussing this region’s being served by ‘
a central heating plant. The proposition is worth
looking into.* Unless a region makes progress it
is beading for the discard yard. This proposition
may be pooh-poohed but anyone can pooh-pooh.
It takes brains to get a good thing going. We
konw of a village with much the same popula
tion as Exeter and which is surrounded by much
the same farming country where a discussion
got under way to install a waterworks system.
There was no end of angry protest offered until
men of the proper kidney
and soon a well Was dug and water was made
available for the faithful. Within three years
there was no one so poor but he had running
water in his house. In 4his region, fuel seems
to be increasingly difficult to procure. Why not
start a genuine investigation by living, energetic
men who will give every effort to getting some
thing done about a matter that is not likely to
rest for the next few’years.

That New Courthouse
Wurd is out that the county council is bent
on the construction of a new courthouse. There
may be a few difficulties in the way. First, there
are a considerable number of ratepayers and
councillors who believe that the present building
meets the needs of the time. Why spend money
£ot a purpose that will not bring a dollar in
return for the investment, these people ask.
Nextj building materials are scarce and high
priced. Why build before prices have adjusted
themselves, these folk ask. Still others are not
responsive to the plea that the courthouse
.should be built when labor is dear. If men are
out of work why should they not be in line with
those who are producing necessary articles,
those objectors are asking,
* A Novel Note
All the world was impressed by the utter
ance of Minister of Justice Laureant when he
said that fairness was the only consideration
that should commend anyone for a seat on the
Security Council now sitting in London, The
utterance bore evidence to a fact so utterly Self
evident that it should have been looked upon
as superfluous. On the contrary, however, fit
ness for office in public life seems to be almost
entirely neglected whether the office to be fill
ed is that of a pathmaster or a prime minister.
Herein do electors inquire regarding a candidate
for public office. "What service has he render
ed ?” We refer to actual service rendered on the
part of the candidate. We rarely ask regarding
the office-seeker what solid thing this man has
done that warrants his being given the office*
How many representatives in the dominion or
the provincial parliaments would stand up under
this test? Ferhaps the inquiry might be made
regarding office holders neater home. At any
rate, the public soon will be scanning the ac
complishments of every office holder neat at
hand and farther away* As men seek election
by the votes of the electors the question will be
asked* “What things has this man got done that
warrants out* voting the fate of the municipality
or the province or the dominion into his hands?’*
■ ■ 1 1 •' ’' ■ ■ 1 A .. ..it ■ • . • :
got behind the job
Soon an aroused world will not ask, “What was
this man’s father or to what fraternal order or
to what service club does he belong or how deep
is his weasel skin but what has he behind him
in the way of work well done in the public in
terest and what is his character that forcasts
his doing well in the public interest ? These are
plain questions, but the public is asking them
and will have an answer, willy nilly* Canada^
representative at U*N*O* at the big council in
London has lighted a torch that will flame into
every portion of civilisation where men have
seeing eyes and thinking brains*

We Wonder
Mr* Churchill has made a disclosure down
there in Miami that has set some of us thinking.
He tells ns that in the early nineteen forties the
Allies were in great peril of a sound trouncing.
The figures he gives to the world are amazing,
The peril of those fateful hours makes the blood
run cold, Our first question is, why were those
disclosures made public? The enemy seems to be
well trounced. All’s well that ends well. Along
with the query why Mr, Churchill released this
information goes a second .query, Why was the
news given out in the U.S.? Both queries may be
Health with at the same time. Bor one thing, the
' United States'needed to know how near the land
of the brave and the home of the free was to
being badly beaten. All through the war a great
portion of the U.S. consoled itself with the
thought, "It will not come,..near us.” Mr. Chur
chill’s news dissipates that folly. The nefarious
U-boat menace was perilously near shelling New
York. In the next place, the U.S. neede.d to
know the part Britain played in preserving the
freedom of the United States, With the first
hiss of the German serpent, the United States
should have been prepared to draw the reptile’s
fangs. She was not so prepared. Britain sprang
To that awful task and did it well till the Ger
mans surrendered. Britain will need to repeat
her work should liberty be again threatened.
The United States will not be prepared for any
such duty and you may depend on it. The infer-
ence ?’ Mr. Churchill released the news he re
leased in order that Uncle Sam may wake up in
time and not only give Britain the loan she now
seeks but also make a gift of a like amount,

Human Kindness
(Port Elgin Times)
The Canadian Federation of Agriculture
bulletin carries a human interest story worth re
telling. In the Windsor, N.S., district, a farmer
had the misfortune to lose his barn by fire, his
winter’s supply of hay and other feed. The
farmers of the district immediately called a
meeting and provided him with cash, feed, lum
ber and labor for rebuilding and replaced the
lost implements. When a neighbor ..is in need
the farmer' always responds quickly and cheer
fully—it is part of his nature.
One sometimes feels, that city dwellers see
little of this side of life. Human kindnesses are
to be found everywhere. Last week in Toronto
we saw a heart-touching example of this. On a
busy street corner a man without coat or gloves
shivered in the raw wind. A large car drove up,
a man.stepped out, removed an expensive coat,
silk scarf and gloves and handed them to the
less fortunate man. Not a word was spoken as
the good Samaritan stepped on.the accelerator
and drove off rapidly.
A Chinese philosopher is credited with tins
gem on kindness: “I expect to pass through
this world but once. Any good therefore that I
can do, or any kindness that I can show to any
fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not
defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way
again.”

At the international council the other day
the representative of the British delegation ask

worker against the welfare of other nations had
been a good deal overworked. At this critical
