Authorities at TIMELY WARNING The report of the Glasse() Com- mission on w)werninent efficiency inakes truly interesting reacting. Ap- pointed some nlr)llths ago to make recommendations to the federal gov- ernment on the places where its own system needs overhauling-, the com- mission pulled no punches when it stated that "millions" could he saved if red tape and duplication of effort were chit out. This particular commission is an interesting; body, for one of its mem- bers is former auditor -general Wat- son Sellar, a Mian who reported fear- lessly throughout the rears he was in office on the inefficiency of govern- ment. His lon;; experience has no doubt led the commission to many pointed observations. In all likelihood the report of the commission will 111eet the same:fate as its hundreds of predecessors. The parts which are palatable to govern- ment will be implemented and the rest will he forgotten. The particular 111atter under study by the Glasse() Commission, however, makes its efforts more than ordinarily interesting to Canadians. Democracy is a fine tray of life — chiefly because we, who are its sub- jects, are left to our own devices. We have just about all the freedoms there are, and we enjoy them to the frill. In fact, we have developed such- a grandiose sense of our rights that it has become unfashionable to even suggest that the filthy literature he removed from the newsstands. All this freedom is conducive to a relaxed and pleasant existence—one in which we seldom pause to think of the price our relaxation is likely to exact from us and our children. One of the most costl', aspects of democ- racy is inefficiency at all levels of government, regardless of the party in power. virtually every citizen of the nation has hail personal experi- ence with this; sort of thing — its ramifications are innumerable, As an example, just this past The Wingham Advance=Times Published at Wingham, Ontario Wenger Bros.

The board has the power Of dis- cretion in this matter under seetion 21, (3) R.S.C), Liquor license Act, 195() \vllich states "The Board may restrict the cumber of licences or of any class of licences which it issues in any municipality." The authorities were quite em- phatic that the policy of the hoard on the subject is such that proper ac- commodation must be provided be- fore any type of license is granted, and that in small colnmllnities this includes hotel accommodation of the proper calibre. This of course does not mean that the Board's polio' may not change, and it could as far as the Act is concerned grant a licence to a "ta- vern" type of establishment at its discretion. Before such a license could be is- sued however, the applicant would have to comply with Board regula- tions onaccommodation governing taverns, and facilities which must be arranged, and are quite stringent as to floor space and so forth. week we received no less than five registered letters addressed to mem- bers of our family . .. four of whom are dead, the most recent seven years ago and the earliest nearly 30 years ago. The messages contained in the envelopes turned out to be warnings that unless the corporation fees of a family company were paid within ten days the letters patent would be can- celled. Total amount of the unpaid fees, $228. The company m question surren- dered its letters patent 39 years ago last April. What a lot of bookkeep- ing somebody has had to do in the intervening years! Instances of this sort are myriad where government is concerned. Per- haps no individual can be blamed. Government has become a sprawling business, almost beyond the control. of those who take the reins. One.of the first steps toward eco- nomy—at a time when economy has become the watchword of the nation —might he a thorough and searching study of the working force employed by government. Civil servants and others on the public payroll make up a tremendous segment of our popu- lation. One of the most important questions we face is whether or not all these employees are vital to the welfare of the .state, and whether or not those who hold jobs are doing them speedily and efficiently. When a civil service force grows to the proportion it has assumed in Canada, it begins to wield a tremen- dous power. No government leader has the courage to trim and revamp as he should because he is dealing with such a powerful mass of voters. Civil servants, of the better var- iety, are vital to the proper function- ing of government, but they are prone to operate under Parkinson's law—the rule which makes it advis- able for every employee to have at least two underlings for his own pro- tection. We have heard some of the moves government intends to make to better Canada's financial position. Armed forces expenditures are being cut; imports from other countries, many of them drastically needed, are limited or placed under tariffs ; taxes, wherever possible are being in- creased. In short, the general public is once again to pay the bill, The re- port of the Glassco Commission cer- tainly indicated that some of the most important and effective moves could he made right inside the par- liament buildings.

Amen, This week my wife and I had an anniversary, No, we didn't eele- brate it. We just had it. There are no celebrations when these mile- stones loom up, out of the do- mestic fog. We merely observe them, with a mixture of wonder awe and incredulity. Sixteen years of wedded bliss. Hah! Sixteen years of sharing bed and board with a strange woman I'd never even laid eyes on until I was 25. As the kids say, "How crazy can you get? Into each life some rain must fall, as the old song puts it, But it didn't forecast a full-scale storm. It was raining hard the day we were married, and it's been thundering and lightning ever, since, , 0-0-0 One thing about our marriage, though, We started off on the right foot, And we've never been in step since. Yes, we were well organized, financially secure and emotionally .`nature, None of this rushing into a hasty, ill-considered, poorly - matched union that we see so often among young people today. Everything was well planned and carefully prepared before we leap= ed into the quicksand. We were just starting fourth year college. I said, "Let's get mar- ried," She said, "All right." We dug up a minister and a few mourners, and plighted the good old troth, We then jumped into a borrowed car and took off for a honeymoon in a borrowed cottage, where we lived on love and borrow- ed money. And when we returned, there was none of this business of moving in with the folks. No, I rented a smart li't'tle apartment where my bride and I were going to live just like real, married people. The nei- ghborhood was a little on the shab- by side—just a block from the red- light district, but it was only $10 a week, I made sure we arrived after dark and she didn't even notice the poolroom next door. 0-0-0 I wish I could say that I car- ried her over the threshold. I',l planned to, but I couldn't find the key. And there followed our first fight, one of those brief and bitter altercations that have been so fre- quent in the subsequent years, as I have looked for various keys in front of various doors all over the country, Perhaps this incident took- the keen edge off her thrill at enter- ing our first home. At any rate, when the crumby old landlady finally let us in, the bride didn't stand there and squeal with delight as Id expected, She took one swift glance around, threw me the first of several thousand murderous looks, and burst into tears. I,didn't understand her then, and' I've been trying since that Septem- ber day 16 years ago with no more success, That was a perfectly good room, with a pull-out. fed, a two - ring gas burner and a bathroom just up on the next floor and down the corridor a little way. And I've been spoiling that girl ever since, We've been through' a lot togeth- er in the ensuing years; better and worse, richer and poorer, sickness and health, children and mortgages and you've only to take a look at us to know which one has thrived on it. 0-0-0 I've lost quite a bit of my ,hair, a good many of my teeth, most ,of triy'illusions, and alt my arguments, All I've picked up is a small pot, a heap of obligations, and a hunt- ed, ioolt, The Old Lady hasn't lost a thing.

No, I don't object to having worked my head to the bone for'the past 16 years to keep her and thechildren in style. I've written all that -off to experience. What gets me is not the past, but the future — the knowledge that I will have to live, until death do us part, with a woman who is not only better looking and smart- er than I am, but knows it, OF MANY THINGS by Ambrose Hills At a business meeting the other day I was asked, casually, how I spent my Sunday. I answered, deadpan, that, "I gathered wild- flowers in the woods with Car- melite." This poetic answer created a stunned silence, then some guffaws. Fact is, I actually had spent most of my Sunday exploring the woods with a couple of old friends. My friend's wife is usuallly called. Carm but I used her full name for poetic effect, and got the reaction I had expected fromthe businessmen assembled, • Whether you gather wildflowers or not, this business of hoofing it about through the woods is good for the soul, and the body. I had enjoyed it so much that I decided to get out more and walk more while our summer lasts. Over a holiday week -end, I took my twin girls for a hike. We slid about five miles of country- lanes and back roads, I slept that night like I have not slept for some while —a sound and dreamless sleep. I was a bit stiff In the morning, but felt good . , . really good. I've been increasing my mileage ever since, even though some of it has had to be on city pavement. I bought a good pair of walking shoes, which makes it all the more pleasant, These days, when there is so much talk of health plans, I am astounded at the number of men and women who have no health plans of their own, Fresh air, good food, plenty of exercise, and mod- eration or absention In the matter of smoking and liquor, are, in my opinion, the basic requirements. Governments cannot breathe for you or guarantee your good health; you can do a great deal on your own to cut down the need for doe - tors or for drugs, Now don't get the idea that -I am a faddist or believe one can cure acute appendicitis by, , walk- ing in the woods! What I do believe is that we are acting irrationally when we make such a fuss about providing full medical care for everyone, while doing so .little about good health for ourselves, And I thought I had better say my say about it now, while I am on this project; rather than wait until • 1.... lrili11liirllrlilcrlllrFlio11111ltlrlllrllriifrltirfilrllirlfirituillirt ill[♦` I# I, A i Abu HILL f•swam W . .DRUGSALE a Prices Effective September 12th to 18th it ABSORBENT COTTON, Val -U lb. 77c .- BABY PANTS 'n BIB . , .................'.66c 77c�` 5 lbs. 39c 2 for 99c 77c 88c 1, 39c, -2/GGc CAMERA OUTFIT, Brownie Fiesta . , ... $9.88 1 CANDIES, Kerr's Family Variety Pack .1.b..,7399: c • 1-1 CHOCOLATES, Treasure Trove CHOCOLATE BARS, Neilson's (10c) , .3/27c i.• COMBS, Bobby and Curl both for 9c El ELECTRIC BLANKET, "Laurel"ill $17.88c FACE CLOTH ■ FILE -A -WAY, metal, letter size $32/25.49., FLOOR WAX, Easi Gloss 2/88c P.
