We admit to being atnong those who are 'not altogether convinced that univOal old age pen- sion is, a wise move Inn country as - prosperous as our•own., However, the pension is now an established, part of our existence, and like all other gov-' ernment handouts of similar nature, •nd party seeking a federal mandate .'will dare to take it away. Old age pensions for all are here,. to stay, whether we' like 'them dr not.' Such being the case we would do well tq be realistic. Admittedly there are hundreds of thousands of old age pensioners who do not need an in, crease, because they have ,private, means. On the other hand there are as many or more :who have no other income and -it was for these peOple that old age pensions were created.

During a •coffee, session at The Brunswick one Morning last week four . of the five men we were talking to - admitted that the seed Catalogue had 4 just come in and looked very interest - that the new motor boat models as seen in the latest magazines were really something; that' it was about time to go over the fishing tackle and that. a couple of. golf clubs Wortld needed for the coming summer, Ac- tually the fifth fellow, Wlio had noth- ing to offer in the way of warm -weath- er suggestions was sort of pushed aside by the .general conversation. He just didn't seem quite normal. Holidays are somethinglike thrist- rnas. They are not compose'd sp much AS PENSIONS $40400 a month to live on, he must be stretching the dollars to the breaking point: The high cost of living is every I* as drastic for the pensioner as it is for the young man with a family. One great difference does exist how- ever, in the fact that the younger mall can step up to his boss and demand a raise because things. are so tough that he can't feed his t:hildren properly without a raise, • Whether old age pensions are good or bad is no.t the point, 'ince they are an established part of our life in this country we might as weil,be realistic, If they are intended to-priivide.a liv- ing for those who are too old to work — they must be based on the cost Of living itself. When the cost rises so must the penSions. . While the government at Ottawa wrestles with the dollar-versus-voteS, factor, the Ontario government would do well to consider the Same factors where mothers' allowances are Con- cerned. The problems which have made an increase in old age pensions obvious are doubled and,trebled in the case .of young mothers'whoare not even permitted to supplement their in- comes to:. any worthwhil,e. degree as long as they. aocept mothers' allow:- ance. Pensioners of all ages•,belong to that unfortunate class who receive a fixed income. Surprising though it 4nay be, they are the folks,whb would be blessed in fill] measure by a nation- wide depression. RE HERE AGAIN the months to gloat over the great outdoors. When the snow is piling high' outside the window glass", when the car is burning off its new tires againSt the sharp 'fangs of icy ruts — that's the time to trd'nsport your chilly frame to sunny _beaches. and -gold- tinted fishing holes. The 'weather in June is glorious.

HOCKEY TEAM IS WORTH 'WATCHING Hockey fans ate, to .sa,tleie leaSt, fickle, following.', As recently as the 1951-52 season the local arena was jammed to the rafters for every hotne game. For two or.three seasons after that the following was still 'good and then the bottoth dropped out of hockey. Despite the fact that town- people.have dipped down for the price of an artificial ice system, crowds at local hockey games wouldn't make one of those proverbial 'corporal's guards, Periodically the quality of hockey served un 1)y, aghorne town team does deteriorate; :the older older players move away and youngsters taketheir places. However, that ,onclition does not e$c- ist this year. The local entry, the Spit* fire juniors, are giving a good account of themselves- against the interrnedi- * ates whom they are regularly meeting, The boys are diShing tip a fast apd teresting game that is well Worth watching in any town, .addition to •theit. willing,nessto 'play 'on the team and -give all, they have in each encounter; the boys.have now undertaken to raise. one extra money to pay their way by 'tickets for a draw at a',g home aine once a Week. The tickets will Provide a chance at a door prize of $50.00; pro- vided the holder of the ticket drawn 'is , in the arena. If nbt the cash re. wardwill be $40.00 and the remaining ten dollars Will be held over and add- ed to the draw the-followiug week.
