When one reads of the hardships in such places as Bayfield and Under­ wood while the highways were block­ ed, one cannot help but appreciate the fact that the railways maintained dur­ ing the storms, a worthwhile service. During the whole duration of the storm, the railways kept traffic on the move. Few trains were cancelled and goods of all kinds that were ship­ ped express or freight were received here with little or no delay. In a country such as ours we can not get along without railway service but we^fail to realize the importance of this until we are snowbound. Then when things are normal again we will soon forget the days when we had ...no other communication with the rest of the district except that which he railways supplied. 4? 4« 4« 4< PENSIONS Last week in the House of Com­ mons, A. A. Hays, C.C.F. member for Winnipeg North, introduced a reso­ lution that if passed would have giv­ en all 60 years and over a' pension. The resolution, was ruled out of order. The main idea o'f such a bill is to have more employment for younger people. The older men and women would be pensioned off and the younger generation would supply the need for labor so created. The theory of this idea, on the surface, seems to have some good' points. But like so many of these modern ideas has a catch to it. It is said that the cost of such a scheme would' be $500,000,000 and that industry could not stand such an expenditure and that instead of creat­ ing work for the younger generation it may actually do the opposite. The unemployment problem is a serious matter and we believe that so far no remedy has yet been advanc­ ed that would in any way help the situation to the point of being a cure for this cure. Those _ , sibility of grappling with this prob­ lem should have the sympathy and co-operation of all citizens so that some headway can be made. Maybe in the near-future a Moses will lead up out of the wilderness, at least we hope so. 4< * 4< * RADIO LICENSES During the past few weeks a great many people have been fined for not having a radio license or escaped this predicament by hastily procuring one. We hear and read a great deal of comment, for and against, regarding the necessity of having such a license, Some go so far as to suggest that the expense in connection with the Radio Commission should be raised in some other way than by the issu­ ing of licenses. We cannot agree with this sugges­ tion. There are many homes that have not a radio and thej’- should not be made to pay toward something from which they receive no service. The people who have radios should be the ones to pay any cost in con­ nection with Government radio'ser­ vice. The Carnival on Friday night is going to be a huge success. Plan to take part. * 4? $ 4< So far the groundhog Is right. We have had cold weather since he saw his shadow on Feb. 2nd. 4= 4? 4« 4i Hamilton is to have radio equipped cars.
