DO WE REALLY WANT
HOCKEY?
Below you will find the written
comment of one interested hockey
fan after the Intermediate game with
Mount Forest, played here last week.
\s the score would indicate
(7-3), the Dodgers played heads -up
hockey, It's'too bad there hadn't been
someone there to watch. In the past
two years there has been a consider-
able amount of talk about a new
front for the arena. It would he a
good thing for the town as a whole
and the money could no doubt be
raised with a tittle effort on every-
one's part.
"Il-owever, the erection of a new
front is only half the battle. Some-
body has to pay for its operation and
in the past the Intermediate hockey
team has (1017e more than its share in
this regard. If the people of the town
are too busy, too tired, too cold or
too tied til) frith their television sets
to get out and support the hockey
club, then yye'd better give up the
whole idea of all Stt•Cna and scrap it.
"Six dollars was the total amount
taken in at the gate last 'Tuesday
Hight and the cost of referees alone
was S23,t)t1, ()n top of that there is
the cost of sticks and tape which ay
erages $20 a game. If only 100) of our
so-called sports -minded citizens had
Collie 10 the game, the 1e;un might at
least have broken (.'vets. I offer lily
congratulations to the team for stay
ing on their feet as long as they havt'
this season, but if the people aren't
going to do their share of the Pullin:;,

GOING UP!
There a1pears to he every- indica-
tion that social welfare payments
will be increased by the federal gov-
ernnient, with higher olcl age pen-
sions, and broader allowances for
those who do not ordinarily qualify
for assistance.
t'ncptestional)ly the move will he
a popular one, for a tremendous
number of people rvill benefit, but it
is one more step along the road to
socialism which many of us profess
to abhor. Continued to its natural
conclusion, the state will not only
pay us for the children we raise and
for our declining years, but for the
work we do every clay as well.
\lost students of political econo-
my admit that the demand for social
benefits today is so strong that no
government can refuse them, but
each further concession .becomes an
unalterable right of the people upon
which the next demand is built. With
each additional payment from the
federal t reasury we lose a little more
of the freedom about which we talk
so much.
There are still a good many sen-
sible people who would be glad to
provide for their orvii parents when
they need it and to raise their child-
ren without government assistance

make it possible,

And t -u v'irds Jesus Christ, our

Towards other Christians we

There's a new movement, and
a fairly strong one, afoot in Que
bee these dais. Its adherents, la
belled "Separatists" arc urging
that La Belle Province secede from
the rest of Canada and c'stablisl
a separate French nation on the
shores of the St. Lawrence,
I don't know the ins and outs of
it, but, personally, I think it's a
splendid idea. In fact, not only
do I wish them well, but I hope
the scheme becomes a trend that
will sweep North Ameri.ea, It's the
only thing that can break up the
vast, neat blocks into which this
continent is divided, and give us
a hodge-podge of untidy, interest-
ing countries and principalities
such as other continents boast.
As far as I can see, breaking
Canada clown from. ten huge, in_
digestible chunks into 40 or 50
juicy, indigestible morsels would
solve most of our problems in a
twinkling.
First of all, it might stop cultur-
ed Europeans and disgruntled
homehrews from articles about the
good, gray Canadians, those unima-
ginative, conservative, colorless
people who live somewhere north
Land.
The smashing up of stodgy old
- Canada would also give us a chance
to introduce some fine new social
legislation that the present Feder -
1 al Government refuses to consider.
• Surely some of our brave new na-
tions would lead the way in such
progressive social measures as: a
free fix a day for dope addicts;
homes for unwed fathers; handy
,;candy divorce by vending machine.

There'd be a bit of confusion at
first, of course, financially. People
would have to do without their
beer when the baby bonus cheques
failed to appear. This, however,
could he solved by having the new
governments distribute free beer
once a month.
But the real beauty of the whole
scheme is this. Do you realize that
instead of being a big, fat, prosper_
ous, peaceful country, we could
suddenly become a whole mess of
small, poor, struggling, aggressive
countries?? All we'd have to do is
abolish the income tax, then sit
back and scream for help and the
Yanks would rush in enough for-
eign aid to keep us in luxury,
of Detroit, nursing their inferiority
complex. I get so sick of this slop
I could cry.

They couldn't aeuse us of these
negative virtues any more if we
suddenly transformed into a seeth-
ing mass of republics, peoples'
democracies, ,monarchies and what-
not. You see, if this was done
everything would be different, The
overpowering dulness of Canadian
life would he replaced by the ro-
mantic, exotic existence of the
other continents.
We'd he able to enjoy such fas-
cinating things as revolutions and
counter-revolutions; refugees flee-
ing across borders; students riot-
ing in the streets; military juntas
carrying out coups d'etat; sidewalk
cafes riddled with spies; United
Nations aid; abusing the Ameri-
cans; and all the other finer things
in life,
Another thing. Canadians prob-
ably travel more miles per year
than anyone else, yet most of us
have never been outside the coun-
try. What could he more horiag
than to Climb on. a train, ride it
for the hest part of a week, climb
off, and still be in the Same coun-
try? That's what happens now.
All this would be changed. With
all our new countries and borders,
a cross country train trip would
become a thrilling adventure. We'd
need passports and visas. Weal
have to pass border guards with
tommy guns. Our travelling com-
panions would be Mysterious Stran-
gers -espionage agents, diplomats'
mistresses, -wild-eyed anarchists --
instead of talkative elderly ladies
going to visit their daughters,
young mothers with damp, whiny
children, and exhausted middle-
aged men heading home after the
hardware convention,

DISCUSS EDUCATION
AFTER BROADCAST
BLUEVALE •-- The Women's In-
stitute met in the school room of
the United Church last week, Mrs.
George Hetherington presiding. The
attendance was small, owing to the
stormy evening. The roll call was
answered by donations for Valen-
tine boxes for the sick.
The program began with the
radio farm broadcast in which a
panel discussed technical and vo-
cational training, After listening to
the broadcast, members reviewed
the various situations which de-
mand more technical and vocation-
al training he provided for young
people. Mrs. Sparling Johnston led
the discussion, with Mrs. James
Johnston acting as secretary. It
was shown that a percentage of
unemployment is caused by lack of
skills, unemployment being less
among well trained workers.
Each year a smaller labor force
is required on farms, owing to in-
creased mechanization. Those re-
leased from farming are entitled
to opport ' e' $ to train
for other
vocations. This means a great in-
crease in technical and vocational
schools and in short courses of
many kinds. Older men, leaving
the farms should have a chance to
improve their education. Academic
education does not appeal to all
students, as indicated by the drop-
out from high. school classes.
The meeting voted a donation to
Brussels Fall Fair. Mrs. Harry
Elliott, Mrs. Carl Johnston and
Mrs. James Johnston were named a
committee to provide curtains for
the community hall.
Mrs. Fleming Johnston was host-
ess for the meeting and was ,assist-
ed in serving refreshments by Mrs,
Sperling Johnston, Mrs. Alex. Mc-
Crack/is and Mrs. Prank Stamper,
