A. lot ut. local John n'ies are spending nit)st of their time at the fair this week. 'Mlle K:itts- 1nen Trade Y'i1ir. that is. The members of the \\"ing1iaiu Kinsmen Clul) are working night and City to complete a1'rano,emeilts for the biggest event in tle club year — :aid one which has au far proven highly popular 1e ith the general public. When the Trade rair was in-- augnrated several \ear,: ;l:l',t' it ciui.ckly proved. its worth, not duly as a money -raisins venture lot the service club, but as an iiitereatiii'. and stimulating, event ill telt' lite of the community. Coming as it does, early in the slltnine.r season, t1n fair serves to get folks into the right mood for so.ine relaxation and err err., worthwhile entertainment t. I' tett' long months of winter. ()n the other hand, it has proven a valuable means of raising hinds for the' local .Kinsmen and the Kinsmen have long since dent oust ra • ted their intentions of using the money for the com1171i.nity's greatest need. This year- the Kinsmen have !:1 readv donated $31(0 to the (sudden Circle School for Retarded Children WHO PAYS THE SHOT? The International Teamsters' Union is having a real fiel(l day. Their strike has tied up not only the truck owners of the province, from whom they are seeking wage ill - creases, but has gone a long way toward making life more miserable and complicated for all the rest of us who have no direct concern in the dispute whatsoever. The Toronto (globe and Mail - says: "This threat is poised over our already shaken economy hr a strike that is in no way justified. The agreement proposed by Judge j. C. Anderson, chairman of the concilia- tion board, •and accepted by the (trucking) companies, was more generous •than: present business and industrial conditions in Canada war- rant. It would have granted raises totalling nearly 14 percent over a three-year period, at a cost to the companies of more than :1(1 mil- lion: It would have provided that drivers with five or more years' sen- iority could not be laid off because railway piggyback operations had eliminated truck runs. "Canada at this time simply ran- wt- afford such increases and such snake-ivorlc clauses. That the union should now strike •in an effort t() force even greater concessions k an evidence of grave irresponsibility. '(Perhaps the worst feature of the matter is that the union's actions are directed by a. man in Washington who has put himself on record as not even being interested iii Canada's economic cond,itions." The truckers and their employers niay both be able to afford a hillg drawn-out battle (though ve ser iously doubt it). The rest of lis in Canada, however, particularly the big majority who are not connected in any way with. a union, are getting more than a little tired of being pushed around because a big labor boss wants to demonstrate his po ver over the nation and its goy-. ernrtlent. Speaking in the VTIngham town hall last Wednesday evening Donald C. MacDonald; Ontario leader of the New Democratic Party, which. has the active support of the unions and receives financial backing front them, referred in heart-rending The Wingham Advance=Times Published at Wingham, Ontario Wenger Bros, Limited W.

Their generosity has provided many, many other benefits for this community, such as a sizeable share of the support- for Boy Scouts, the wading pool at the park, etc. Fortunately, the more -wide- awake service clubs have departed from the stereotyped System of rais- ing all their money at "frolics" and most of thein now offer the con- tributor on- tril)ufor goo(l value for his money. In this resard we believe the Kins- men excel, for then' Trade Fair is an event t0 vlhich everyone i.n the community looks forward with in- terest. The }air (ripens on '1'hurs- dai, night and runs throe 'h ti l Saturday turday evening and every moillent is packed with promises of enjoy- ment, phrases to the economic victory which Russia is likely to gain over Canada because we have so many persons unemployed. fie failed to make any comment whatever about the gains the Soviet can attain be- cause so many Canadians are out on strike in a given year. He did not mention the fact that one reason to fear Russian productive energy is because in that country Workers stay at their jobs for a full week rather than agitating at. every turn for shorter- hours and higher pay. We do have some criticism of the older parties: One of the most pointed is 'that neither the Liberals not' Conservatives seem to have grasped the full significance of the fact that a vast i-najority of Can- adians are not union workers and that they .would welcome legislation to provide a measure ofP rotection against the violence and waste which result from strike action, The NDP will certainly make some gains in the metropolitan areas where unions predominate, Nit ve doubt that the rest of the nation is going to be very much in favor of government which is influenced, right • at its party foundations 1)y union participation. Gordon Green, the NDP candi- date for \ Tellington-I-Turon, told the audience here that farmers should "Hick their pride under their shirts" where labor is concerned, "because they're giving you a wonderful. chance." A wonderful chance at what? More interference in Canadian af- fairs by American labor barons? The Letter -Review, published- in Tort Erie, sums up the situation: "T. C. Douglas, leader of the New "democratic" .Party, has issued a statement calling on the govern- ment to avert a threatened strike of trainmen on the Canadian Nation- al Railways. just what Mr. Douglas hopes to accomplish by this is not clear. Since his party is principally supported by members of labor unions, it would have been more reasonable for him to appeal to the officers of the trainmen's union to show a little restraint and cor11r77on sense. "Mr. Vr. Doo las is certainly awarere of the fact that the government does not desire a strike and has already intervened to 'bring about a satis-- factory settlement. TIe wooed be the first to condemn the government if ii- usedits powers to forbid a strike, although the general public, thor- oughly disgusted with union tactics of causing the maximum public in- convenience whenever union leaders want a new and more favorable con - tram, might well welcome legisla- tion that would bar strikes in any industry in which a large public in- terest is involved." mmnytormrnritln mnammr"l,.,mminn•Vllllimnlr,lore,„mu,nnnngnnaumnnrrntnnrntitnu ntmtraifilnr,n I ONE MCMNT, PLEASE !.

By this timer I haven't a clue as to which party is giving the biggest old -age pension, which is giving away free medicine, which is going to reduce taxes, or which is go- ing to end unemployment by send- ing all the unemployed to school an,d paying them a salary to go. About all that I have been able to gather in concrete form, as the whirlwind campaign kicks up thechaff is that all parties at'c in favor of the common man and mother- hood and all parties are against war, lung canner, sin, crop failares and the of er three parties. We were frying to sort Iltings out a.t dinner the other night.

First, how much goes to Ottawa, how much in subsidies and to whom, what portion for• educa. tion, old age pensions, baby bon- uses, ete., and please show clearly how much the wage earner gets out of the lonely buck? I'l1 vote for the man who will du something about our ever -mount- ing national debt, and still let On- tario keep enough money to once and fol• all get rid of the 3 per cent' sales tax. Never .have so few worked so hard for so little thanks, at such an aggravating, nauseating and ut- i'n s]{ forever 1 ru trots toter y f s gtaking time to figure the tax has caused many mistakes in making change, many arguments with cus- tomers,of long standing and driven the merchant half off his rocker,. To top it all off, while instruc- tion could be made simple enough for a six-year-old child, the pow- ers that be decided that would be too easy, so they mixed them up real good so it would take a Phila- delphia lawyer to break down the code. All this for a few pennies. Again I'll vote for the man who will tear up that pre -inflation $2,000 exemption for a man and his wife. There's something sadly wrong when a man watches every penny, yet can't find money to. patch a hole in the roof of his home, or dress it up with a few cans of paint and still has to send income tax to Ottawa, Something has caused Canadians to become a jittery, racing nation of pill -swallowing, nervous wrecks and it's about time our government realized Canadians need something to make them smile again.
