K. I ▪ Rev. T. Cornett Rosser Wingbam United. Murat The most famous statue in the world today is the Statue of Lib, erty which stands on Bedloe Island in the harbour of New York. It IS a colossal statue of bronze, the loftiest in the world. It is to the form of the figure of a graceful woman wearing n illation, dressed in flowing robes, holding high in her right hand a blazing torch. and in her left hand a tablet on which is written the date of the declaration: of Independance. The full title of the statue is, "Liberty Enlightening The World." It waa a gift to the American people from the people of France. Or,taniza- tions, societies, councils, thousands of French citizens contributed to the cost. The gift was to commem- orate the 100th anniversary of Am. erica's independence and to per- petiole the friendship of two great , nations, Tue years were required In the building of it and It weighs ' 225 tons. Countless theosehtsd of refugees coming to America. from depressed Europe have -looked. on this first .Ogn of new life of freedom with tears streaming down their faces. Americans returning home from abroad 'have eagerly watched for the first sign of herne. It is more than a statue. Ws a. symbol of the power and glory= of a freedom lov- log people and of a mighty nation that is bared on the rights of man- kind. When god. 'wanted a symbol of .I-Ps dominion and power and glory, lie chose 016 1141'We wooden .CrOSS, the sign of pain and sacrifice and death, alai on it he plated His Son to die there for the sins of the World. From it, 1-114 body was taken to the tomb and there came the resurrection Morning. The talaera cross Is (hod's symbol of triumph over evil and suffering and death,. the symbol of a new life in Him. The cross expresses His dominion and power and 'glory over all life, wherever it. is seen on church spires, altars, and rustle chapels. The New Testament rings with this note of triumph. St. Paul pie- tures aiirti. the glorified. Christ, with dominion .and power, with all enemies under His feet,. Before :Him every knee shalt hoW and every tongue confess mm Lord of Life. If this is the great fart of the universe we shoulld then ask. the questiolii has 'He dominion end Power awl glory in tn.), life? noes He reign supreme over nor af- fairs? If not, then we are out of harmony with the universe. To be out of harmony is to he lost eter- nally. Let us think an these tbingst Alt, wasn't that a lovely cold snap We had there?

Weren't You glad you. were a full-blooded Canadian, part of the- hard inner core of our country, and not one of those imitations who live away. down in places like Southern On- tario and Vancouver, who scarcely know what an honest two feet of snow looks like, but Who keep, pre- tending they're real Canadians? Why, I was in Toronto last week- end, mid' I felt like a hard.bitten centurion from the provinces, visit- ing Rome in UM Iniddle of Nero's reign. You know something? They didn't have, one Imlay little inch of slush, let alone any snow. You'd hardly knew it wes winter, exetait for a wind blowing up the con- crete canyons that %mild eat the • eyeballs out of you. It isn't that I envy these people. Not at all. After all, every country has its decadent centres, where live those of its people who have last that tough inner fibre, and- who have become soft and luxury- . loving. England has them. They throng the south coast in July, when there are some days so hot you have to take off your tweed jacket. Some of them have become, so degenerate they'll put on bathing • attire and run right into the Eng- lish Channel, right up to their knees. 0 _ 0 - 0 Even the Eskimos have this trouble: Some of their people have lost the old values, the true way of life, and hang about on the south- ern fringes of. Eskimo-land, worn- ing for money, of all things, and eating stuff out of cans, just like the rest of we They don't seem to realize they have lost their oki integrity and dignity --the stuff that made Uncle Oeg-Loog sit beside a hole in the ice for five days, waiting to spear a non-existent seal. Some of these modern Eskimos have slipped ea far from their great heritage that were it not for some of our Can- adian *titers, like Farley Mowat, they'd probably think they were having a • good ,time, being warm • and eating sliced bread and jam instead of blubber. Noe we can't help this weak strain in our sturdy national breed., Every nation has a flaw. Even Ca- nada must tolerate these sybarites who move indolently about in' the " balmy climes of our country's deep! south, where the temperature is often away up in the 20s, Not to! mention the traitors, renegades and!, people with enough money, who slip away to Florida and California, the minute winter calls its first chill challenge, 4, It isn't the fact that we have these parasites that gets inee It's their attitude.

We get out and start our own ears.• And, by George, there's nothing that will test a man's ingenuity, mechanical skill, and vocabulary ' like starting the old girl after the mercury has dived below zero overnight.

Returning to Canada after ces- sation of hostilities, Major Vickars continued his army career with the Militia. He rose to the rank of majqr while serving with the 11th Field Regiment from 1948 until 1955. His association with the 21st Field Regiment com- menced with his arrival in .Lis- towel iii' April of 1957, Going to Listowel from Petrolia, Major Vickers replaced another army officer, Capt.

But don't fool yourself, as we tried to do, The correct answer in our ease was—Swiss, Now, to get all this straight you would really have to look no the family tree. In a nutshell, one of the members of the family got himself chased out of Switzerland about the year 1680 be- ARE PREMIUMS JUSTIFIED? National economics are a con- stantly recurring subject these days as they are bound to be \then the "country is feeling the first recession of , any serious proportions since 1940, Vatemployment figures al e. quoted almost daily to emphasize the problems which. we face. Though we have touched on this subject recently, we have thought of one or two additional aspects which should be borne in mind, One of them is th t e now have so many more employablea subject to unem- ployment. A staring example is the tact that millions of married women can now become officially unem- ployed because they have field jobs where unemployment insurance was not only available, but compulsory. During the black depression of the thirties very few married women were inchided in the unemployment -figures because they had been plain., ordinary housewives . before, the economical collapse. Now, however. ai woman who loses her job is in- cluded in the figures, despite the fact that her husband may bring home $100 a week. Similarly, women are h.olding many jobs which could, con- ceivably be filled by thousands of the men who are without work. Mistake us not. We are not sug- gesting for, an instant that women should not hold jobs. We are merely pointing out that unemployment figures do not reflect a situation. which is very closely related with depression as we knew it in the old days. Another very disturbing factor is the status of the unemployment insurance fund at the present. The amount of money available for in- surance benefits has shrunk to a. fraction of its peak total — and this shrinkage has occurred at a time when we have experienced only moderate unemployment by com• parison with major economic stag- nating. What in the world good would unemployment insurance be if we had A real. full-sized depres- sion? The Whole plan would simply stagger to a halt and the millions which have been 'poured into the fund by employers and employees for the past 20 years would f;e- a nation-wide memory. There are a few facts which many Canadians would like to know. For instance, what is the total of contri• Maims since the plan was started'? What percentage of this total has been paid out in benefits? What per- centage of total revenue has been expended for administration of the insurance plan?

As far as we can find out the last of our family waved goodbye to their cottage at the foot of the Jung- frau almost 300 years ago . . but we're still Swiss. And that, in spite of the fact that our mountain blood has been repeatedly diluted by the addition of Pmalish, Scottish, and some American corpuscles, with just a dash of French, Welsh and. Irish to make it a truly international brew, Either of two things. Prett soon pow we shmild be able to say we are Canadian or else we'd better head back to Switzerland to see whether anyone's been weeding our garden since we left home. fund, when placed in comparison with other insuring organizations, should be more profitable, by far, than any other. instead of agents selling the insurance on a commis- sion basis, the selling and collecting is dope by compulsion. The employ- ers of Canada are forced -to act not only as agents and collectors, but as company bookkeepers — and after they have looked after all the paper work- they then have to dib in an amount of money equal to the premiums paid by their employees, despite the fact that as employers they are not eligible for benefits should they themselves become un- employed. Perhaps the statistics about the unemployment insurance fund are available to the public, but if so we, have never heard of it. Regardless of which government was responsible for the near-collapse of this hideously expensive scheme. today's authorities would do well to make some clear explanations to the people who have put up the now- missing money. ea SENSIBLE TRnCAUTION You will have noted that extra precautions are being taken at the arena to make sure the clanger of fire is kept to an absolute minimum. Perhaps you have wondered why all this sudden interest in the old build- ing. It is only a short time since one of the arenas in this district was destroyed by fire and now the town is faced with the alternative of doing without their community centre or digging very deeply in their pockets for a replacement. The hazards are particularly high in the Wingham building, where the entrance and dressing, room area has reached a stage which can only he described as dilapidation. The coun- cil and the arena commission are hopeful that concrete plans may he implemented this summer for the reconstruction of the front of the arena, not only to modernize and beautify the place, but in lar0 mea- sure to eliminate the danger of fire. Though a new front on the arena would appear in some ways to be an expensive luxury, the project cannot be put off much longer. Washrooms, offices, dressing rooms are all in the last stages of decay and most certainly not the sort of accommo- dation a respectable town wants for its e--(lung people. The efforts which are currently being made to ensure the safety of the building require the full co-op- eration of ,all those who use it, both speetatora and participants. Smok- ing, of course, is the greatest hazard of all, for a carelessly discarded cigarette butt could spell the end of a building which serves an extreme- ly useful purpose in the life of the commtmity. If the arena commission gets the while-hearted co-operation of all, the danger will be' held to a minimum, AhL
