"I did," said the sparrow, "with my little arrow." . . . only one thing wrong with that quotation. It wasn't an arrow that did the job. It was a fire cracker. Oh yes, we know. You're bored with all this natter- ing about a few innocent kids with firecrackers. You read about it last week. Perhaps so. But in the week which has elapsed there have been several near-accidents and some injuries—caused by firecrackers. After all, there isn't much point in writing about fire- -craCkers in--December, when the kids are all equipped with :hockey sticks instead of high explosives. Why don't we smarten up on this craze for gun- powder? If all the fathers in town who are putting up the money for the dangerous type of horse-play which is going on now would tighten the clamps and pool their :contributions there would be plenty and some left over to put on a bang-up fireworks display on the holiday. And -no one would get hurt. All the kids would have a swell time. There would be money enough for worthwhile types .of pyrotechnics .and there would be adults o.n hand to sup- ervise the show. l`wire Two -join in the popular cry, we compromise our vote, and it 'follows that we compromise the issues at stake." Mr. Baker points directly at those who vote for candi- •dates on the basis of some special interest. Some voters, he points ou't", ask for and get governmental control because -they'belleve they see some measure of safety or security in it for their particular business. Mr. Baker warns Boards of Trade and Ch,arnb.ers of Commerce against a tongue-in Check attitude towards supporting public expenditures which benefit their membership and their communities at -the expense of the whole body politic.

The extra pages have been included in of to create space for a Hospital Day special edition,. You will find an entire page devoted to the subject on the face of the second sec- tion, We are indeed pleased to devote the editorial and technical work involved to this particular cause, for like 'most residents of this community, we are prottd of the fine hospital which serves our needs. It was erected and equipped at tremendous sacrifice by the many who gave towards its completion, and is therefore an integral part of the living; breathing structure of this district. However, in our human forgetfulness, we are all too -prone to become complacent about the place our hospital occupies. How many of us ever pause to reflect on the days when sick people either suffered at home, without any scientific assistance other than the doctor's hurried calls—or as an alternative were. shipped off to London or Stnatford when emergency dictated the latter course? 'The folks of little more than a generation ago might have dreamed of such an institution as the Wingham Hos- pital. In fact some of them did dream—to such good effect that we have inherited the results of their planning and working. Saturday is Hospital Tag Day. It will be your oppor- 'tunity to assist in a small way with ihe work which goes -on so steadily. And next Tuesday is Hospital Day. Then you can visit the hospital and refresh your memory of the all-important tasks connected with care of the sick.

The Price of Liberty (From the Canadian Chamber of Commerce News Letter) 'We have just finished reading the text of a challeng- ing address delivered by Mr. Ralph D. Baker, president of 'the Vancouver Board of Trade, to the•Chilliwack Board of Trade, at the end of January, 1952. Mr. Baker has minced few words in exploring with his audience the position of business in the matter of exercis- ing vigilance on behalf of liberty. Mr. Baker raises the -point that perhaps the disregard by government of the views of business arises from weakness and inconsistency in the position taken from time to time by the spokesmen of business. 'We say we believe in Free Enterprise and most of us who vote do vote for Free Enterprise candidates, But along with these we also vote for candidates who say they are Free Enterprise candidates but who in fact are op- portunists who espouse programs and advocate courses which are, in part at least, destructive to Free Enterprise, We endorse and elect both the Free Enterprise and the compromiser. As a result there is no clear and unequivocal mandate for freedom and Free Enterprise. And so we 'have, both at the Provincial and Federals levels, govern- Tnents which profess Free Enterprise but which, during the past generation, by compromise and retreat, have steadily whittled away at its foundations.
