By Rev. B. L. Walden, B.A. I
See. Upper Canada Bible SocietYi The Bible Today
This is the season of the year
when we like to ask our readers. to
give the hometown merchants a few
, moments' consideration.
,Since time immemorial there has
been an underlying belief that a mer-
chant is a fat, well-fed and perhaps
somewhat greedy indiVidual who
preys, in some wily fashion, on his
'less fortunate neighbors.
Such a belief may have been fac-
tual in the Middle Ages, or even in
the last century, but it is far from
reality today, The great majority of
merchants we know are hard-work-
.u ing individuals who put in as many
or more hours to earn their livings
as do their ;neighbors, They aren't
kings of commerce; they are cogs in
-.the demanding machine of business
—that economic process by Which
we ail 'stay alive.'
Another charge which has been
levelled .at the businessman is that
he - commercializes • the Christmas
season to an all-but-sacreligious :de-
gree. Here, again, we would come
';to their defence, The effort to secure
Christmas business in lAringham is
f;not made with any thought of giving
'""dollars, and cents preeminenee. The
advertising in this issue of the_papei
is merely the local merchants' re-
„minder that the money you spend
for gifts : . and will spend in
t,any, case; will bring you the greatest

Though. attendance at the nom-
ination, meeting in Wingham on rri-
day evening was small, the results
were interesting. An election will be
held in town on ,Monday of next
week, December 1st.
Almost all the speakers at the
nomination meeting-expressed their
regret that so few citizens had come
.:Put -for the important gathering.
Their absence, of course„;was occa-
sioned because things ha-Ve been so
',quiet • at° nomination meetings in
'Previous years that interest has
dropped to an alkime low,
;The fact that the present town
officials are to be opposed is
'iot an indication that their adminis-
tration has been a poor one. It is
simply a healthy sign that there are
other people in the community who
'are ready to take. on' some respon-
sibility for -their town,
It is some years since we have
had a really spirited election in
Wingliam, Whether the present
office holders are returned or not,
it is right and proper that -.the
citizens of this community should
be asked, to make some decisions
concerning their Wert welfare,
Mdnday will be election 'day.. It
is not only your right, but your ob-
ligation to vote. If you fail to do so'
you.have knowingly sacrificed your
-right to criticise this town's adminis-
tration. This is your opportunity
to take an active part in the public
affairs of the place hi which you live.

To rninirniZe-,pin ,and suffering
from burns—whleh ,calase more in-
jury and death among children
than any other accident—parents
need to know how to identify and
treat them. Some rules, listed in
the July' issue of "Tpday's Health",
an American Medical Association
publication received by the Health
League of Canada are.
-Because youngsters grasp any-
thing within reach, never allow
conditions to exist which lead to
accidents; keep matches from
children; keep pots from the edge
of the range and keep youngsters
from fires.
-Determine quickly the degree of
blirn—first degree, the skin is red,
second, the skin is blistered; third,
the skin is charred,
Per first or simple second degree
burns, coat the affected area with
an anticeptic ointmen.' or olive or
baby oil. This relieves pain and
prevents the skin from cracking
and drying out.
For deep second and third degree
burns, call a doctor Immediately,
since shOck and Infection may
occur. A layman should not try to
treat either.
A Sea of Statistics
by C. J. Harris
In the past few weeks the ques-
tion of whether Canada should
have a second transcontinental air
service has become highly complex
in The hearingS before the
Air Tralspoyt Board — with Can-
adian Pacific Airlines asking for
right to serve the major ,cities be-
tween Montreal andi Vancouver
and Trans-Canada 'Air Lines. up-
posing the application—have pro=
dnced such -donflicting and highly
technical opinion that most of the
basic factors. seem to have disap-
peared in a sea of statistics.
No doubt air-line finaneing is
-complex, but to most Canadians
the issue will remain the relative-
ly simple one of whether the pub-
lic interest is not served best
where competition exists. In some
fields a regulated 'monopoly is
economically 'logical, but lOgle also
dictates that monopoly should be
permitted only where- there is no
alternative. Nor should it be over-
looked that no monopoly — not
even a Crown Corporation, which,
in principle,' is dedicated solely to
the public interest — is likely to
give up its preferred position with,:
Out ark argument.
CPA is fully experienced in the
air line business. Its total of do-
mestic arid international air routes
is greater than thtit of TCA. It is
soundly financed. It believes there
is enough businesst between Van-
couverand Montreal for two corn-,
parties, It is vvillingtO risk itg Own
Money to back that judgrnent. At'
least on those few facts its ap.
plieation to the Air Transport
Board seems entirely rea.Sonable.
In the transportation busineSS,
as lit any business, competition im-
proves efficiency o8 operation and
srrvfte to the public. Cotild any,
one doubt that Competition Is not

PROJECT GAINING
SUPPORT
One local project which is meet-
ing :with ever-widening approval is
the school for retarded children
which opened in September. 'When
the plan was first suggested there
were many sceptics and very little
real interest in the formation of a
school. With the passing weeks,
however, an increasing number of in-
dividuals and societies, in Wingham
and the neighboring communities -
have become actively interested in
the progress of the school and the
association which has sponsored it.
The effort to provide some train-
ing 'for these unfortunate children
is 'worthy of the highest possible
commendation. The school is not
merely 1111 amusement centre for the
youngsters, but a place where in-
struction can he given to children
who would otherwise have no hope
for normal living.
