LIFE BUOYS ON BRIDGES There should be some life saving equipment available on each bridge and darn within the town limits where there is deep water, At present there is no life buoy or life preserver of any kind, not even a life belt, handy in case of need at any of these danger points, The C. P. R, bridge is a favorite swimming hole, the water is deep, and there should be a life buoy there that could, be thrown to any swimmer get- ting into difficulties. Boats often pAss under the Josephine street (McKen- zie's) bridge, and there should be a life buoy available at that point. Swimmers and boats often come near both the Upper and the Lower Dam, and these are danger points, so . there should 'be a life buoy handy at both places, These four danger points are strategically spaced so that the life buoys would be fairly' handy in ease of trouble, at intertnediate points. The cost is small compared to the value of one human life, so these four life buoys should be made available at once. PALESTINE A WORLD. PROBLEM The rise of the Nazi regime in,Geri many, the spiritual and moral decay in Europe since Hitler made his bid for power, are the origin of the present-day Palestine problem. The frgua thugs learned both their desperation and their terrorist technique in the dark days when Jews fought the Gestapo and the Nazi persecutors with what, ever weapons they could find. Their degeneracy is an effect of Europe's intolerable conditions and memories, and the world must find a solution to the trouble. There would be no Palestine crisis, no furtive sailing of illegal immigrant ships, no Irgun atrocities and no Tel Aviv violence if the empty or half-emp- ty countries had done their duty to the distressed Jews of Europe and receiv- ed them as refugees. These Jews are not very numerous. Of the 11,000,000 Jews in the world, •all that are left after the Nazi campaigni,of extermiri- The great majority of these 1,200- 000 would-be-immigrant Jews, if giv- en free and, informed choice, would prefer migration to the United States, Australia, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa or some other place with more room. than Palestine, greater op- portunities and more seeurity. These countries have plenty of room to spare and they could easily give sanctuary and a new life to every one of Europe's unhappy Jews without any overcrowd- ing, The world must either give new homes to these homeless Jews in free- dom-loving, democratic countries or settle the Palestine problem satisfac- tartly to both the Jews and the Arabs. The Palestine problem. is a world prob- lem and the Jews must be given a home there or elsewhere in the near future. * * LABOR GOVERNMENT TURNING LEFT The British HoiCie of Commons in the debate recently on The Supplies and Services (transitional powers) Bill, has raised cepcial questions about the dir- ection,of British policy. By this meas- ure, which now seems sure to become law soon, the 'Labor Government oh- tains authority over men and materials as sweeping as were, exercised during the war. When this new measure becomes law there will be no limit whatever to the regulations that can be issued, with the force of law, prescribing what work any individual shall do, where he .may be employed, how Materials shall be allocated, what goods any factory may produce and so on. Mr. Winston Churchill described the Bill as a "blank cheque for totalitarian GOVerninent." Many' of the British Sticialists like Attlee, Bevin, Cripps, and Dalton are moderate Socialists wo believe in the supremacy of Parliament and who would give private enterprise a certain scope. So, if the British Socialists are in fact moving toward a • totalitarian system, then there must be an econ- omic -;crisis in Britain which would force any British !Government, right or left, to take the reins into its own HAMILTON OPTICAL CO.

R. 2 WINGHAM Also'dealecl in Fire Insurance There is a radical left-wing element in the Labor Party led by lVlinister of, Health, Anearin Bevan and Richard Crossman, who want to speed up the socializing process, but the Cabinet, in the present emergency, favors post- polling nationalization of the steel in- dustry, Only time will tell whether these new measures will become Pcr- manent or if the Labor Party will split into moderate and extremist wings. • BRITISH EMIGRATION WESTWARD - Britons at the rate of 200 a, day have been crowding into Rainbow Corner, the former American servicemen's cen- ter near Piccadilly Circus, London, England, to sign up for emigration to Ontario. From the crowded British Isles of austerity they look hopefully Westivard to one of the most promis- ing of modern lands, 'Some df the sentiments expressed by the weuld-he 'emigrants were: "I want to go somewhere where a man can get ahead," "We've had enough," and, "At least I'll be able to satisfy the children's appetites over there." Recently 3$ of them flew in a four- motored American plane from London to Toronto. They were the advance contingent of one of the largest air migrations in history. Within a few months, at the rate of three flights a week, 7,000 selected British 'emigrants will fly to their adopted country. * * INDIA AND PAKISTAN NEW DOMINIONS • Britain loh her Indian Empire on Augnat„15th and welcomed the addi- tion to the British Commonwealth of the two new Dominions of India and Pakistan. Canada, the senior Domin- ion in the British„ Commonwealth, sends greetings and corikratulatiOns to the two youngest members. All Can- adians will wish them peace and pros- perity, and hope for more friendly re- lations with them. * • WEEKLY THOUGHT The •first step in , getting 'rid of wor- ry is to identify the thing that's gnaw- ing at your mind. The second step its to face that trouble squ‘arely and de- cide what yoa're going to do about it. Frustration results from our inability to make up our minds, We wary be- cease we can't bring ourselves to do anything about the cause of our worry: "Do the thing you fear," says Emerson, "and the death of fear is certain." * * KNOW WINGHAM 'The "West-End" of Wingham has a good "through-street" that 'could Be used to relieve the ,congestion of traf- fic on Josephine street at b'sy times, Minnie street is well laid out to be the through-street of the "West-side" of Wingliarn. It has Scett street as a feeder or outlet for south-bound traffic and Victoria street as a connecting link with east and west roads., At its .fior- thern end it commas with Albert street which in turn is a feeder for Josephine and Watdr streets., Water street out- let is via Arthur street which, like Jos- ephine, is a connecting link with north, west and east roads.

The worst thing about a fanatical red. former • is that _he makes the world' think that reformers are tangles. ation, nearly half live in the United States, About 600,000 live in the corn- Paratlye comfort and security of Wes- tern Europe, including Britain, An- other 600,000 are in Palestine, and nearly 2,00,000 an. Soviet Russia, in- accessible to any help they need, Nearly a million Jews are scattered in South America, Canada and else- where far from Europe, so, of the to- tal number of Jews in the world to- day, only about 1,200,000 are in Ger- many; Poland, Austria and other countries of Central and Eastern E- urope. These are the distressed and mostly homeless Jews who urgently wish to move from their home' con- tinent to smite safe refuge in some other tart of the world, Propaganda has netsuatled many of these unhappy People that Palestine is their land of promise and opportunity, and many of them have a genuine religious impulse to "return to Zion". Apionimeimmalipmpippek hands and adopt planning measures on a big_ scale. There is also a strong suspicion in Britain that the Labor Goyernment, "moderate" though its leaders may be, is being forced by its own economic theories to move toward total, control. f For Your BUILDING, CARPENTERING Repair Work Built-in CUPBOARDS SEE- Bennett & Gasemore .
