BE PROUD OF YOUR TOWN
One of the regrettable things too
often heard on the streets is the dis-
position of young , people to depreci-
ate the town which gave them birth,
And to run it .down in comparison with
the other places. Some do this no
doubt from a desire to be smart, whil-
st others, having caught a fleeting
glance of larger cities, have been at-
tracted by the glare of the footlights
without having any opportunity of
seeing the bare walls that lie beyond
the scenery,
ceeded in making a name and a place
for themselves in the larger eommu»-
ities. Small communities may not have
the same manifold .attractions that
larger cities have, neither are they
such deserts in the way of compan-
ionship and acquaintances as too often
makes the lives of those, residing in a
large city, so barren and desolate that
they are eager to return to the small
towns whenever they can. There are
the same varieties of human nature,
of good and of evil, in the small ecnn-
munities that are to be found in the
larger centres, and the use made of
their opportunities depends on the in-
dividual and not on the place.
The young men or young women
who run down the home town con-
demn themselves and leave a very poor
impression. Loyalty to your home
town is a trait of character that means
much more than appears on the sur-
face, and the lack of it shows a very
'miserable, it nut contemptible, .spirit.
The greatest man in England today,
or, for that matter, in the world, was
brought up in a small commenity and
learned his lessons at the side of the
shoe repair work bench of his uncle.
Lloyd George was never ashamed to
ackeowledge, his good old uncle and
be never referred to his home town as
a "helluva town,” (Ed. note—This ed-
itorial is reprinted from the Wingliami
Advance of March 22nd., 1923, and it
is just as appropriate today as it wart
a quarter of a century ago.) *
IRON CURTAIN THREATENS
FINLAND
Little Finland, which for a century
before 1917 was part of the Czarist,
Empire of Russia, is apparently mov-
ing toward the same fate as befell
CZechoslovakia last month, though
not by so direct a route, The Finnish
Government has accepted—under ob-
vious duress—rather hesitatingly. Stal-
in's "invitation" to negotiate a military
alliance. Judging by the past, this
looks like the beginning of the end
of Finland's brief independence. '
When the Bolshevik Revolution
shook Russia in 1917, the Finns de-
they have no desire to fall under the
yoke of the current Moscow dictator-
ship, but they will be helpless before
the might of their gigantic neighbor.
In a short war in 1939-40 they defend-
close trade ties and similar living stan-
dards, they are finding it feasible to
work omit a customs union, but the stlt-
Mtge aim is much more ambitious,
Soon they hope for a federation and a
military alliance of all the Western
European countries affected by the
Marshall Plan. More than 100,000,000
people in Europe will be affected by
the 50-year pact for an economic and
military union of Western European
democracies. * *
LIVING COST INDEX 150,1
Propelled by higher prices for foods,
the official cost-of-living index, climbed
another 1,8 points during January and
came within fractions of the all-time'
high of 150,6, established in the in-
flationary period that followed the-
First Great War,
The Dominion Bureau of Statistics
reported recently that the index jump-
ed from 148,3 at January 2 to 150.1
at February 2, making it au almost
foregone conclusion that it will go
over the historic 150.6 mark when the
February report is released early in
April. With rentals released front con-
trol there may be a big jump upward
in the cost-of-living index.

E
ed their land unsuccessfully against a
.1 Russian attack, and when they resist-
ed Russian invasion a second time af-
- ter the Soviet Union became involved
m the World War, they became allies
of Germany. That unfortunate alliance
cost Finland dearly for they were for-
ced to surrender 12 per cent of their
country to Russia and pay crushing
reparations.
Now, elated and emboldened by un-
checked aggressions and conquests in
Eastern Europe and Asia, the glutton-
ous Russian Bear is reaching out to
completely swallow up little Finland.
And once again the Western World
looks on and is doing nothing decis-
ive. Soon it may be too late to save
Europe.

UNITED STATES OF
EUROPE SOON
The threat of Soviet Communism
is driving the countries of Western
Europe into an alliance with acceler-
ating speed. Only in union can they
find prosperity and security. This fact
has been evident to the best European
minds for over a generation and back
in the 1920's Aristide Briand of France
and also Ernest Bevin, among others,
marshalled arguments for a "United
States of Europe."
In recent years, 'Winston dhurchill
warned that it was the only possible
means of saving Europe and now stat-
esmen in all the Western European
lands are in favor of immediate union.
Recently Britain
'
France and the Ben-
elux countries, Belgium, the Nether-
lands and Luxemberg, met in Brims-
: sels and a drafting committee agreed
E -on six articles in a treaty designed to
bind these nations in a pact to resist

It is obvious that an opening lead

present the declarer with an extra

there be in leading the ace of spades,
followed by the ten? To justify his
