EACH TO ITS OWN
--
President J. T. Stubbs of the
Ontafio Secondary School
Teachers' Federation predicts a
serious shortage of teachers with-
in the next five years and a con-
sequence decline in educational
standards, and he calls for Federal
aid in averting such an eventual-
ity. The Tortmto Star. comments:
The OSSTF president is on solid
ground when he demands a com-
plete revision of current Pro-
vmcial-municipal policies covering
the financing of education. But
when he suggests that the solu-
tion calls for Federal aid below
the university level, Mr. Stubbs
is putting forward a very doubt-
ful proposition. It is true, as he
says, that municipal taxes are ab-
normally high and that real estate
should not be forced to bear an
increasing share of education
costs.- The plain fact is -that
education is the Province's busi-
ness under the B.N.A. Act, and the
Province should look after it.
There is a limit to what the Fed-
eral Government can or should
do. It should not be asked to
take on tasks that ,re clearly a
Provincial duty.
The last war cost the Federal
treasury $10,000,000,000, all of
which. has been paid or must be
paid out of Federal revenue. The
Dominion has also to bear defence
costs arising from the "cold" war.
This year these will total about
$2,000,000,000. Tjie outlay for
social security during the current
fiscal year will reach close to
another billion dollars. In addi-
tion, the Federal Government has
to finance its own administration,
which includes a vast array of
important services the people of
Canada cannot afford to have jet-
tisoned. On topof that the Fed-
eral Government is . contributing
$35,000,000 a year to education,
apart altogether from large sums
.spent on courses connected with
the armed forces.
Mr. Stubbs contends that educa-
tional problems constitute a "na-
tional emergency" and that the
Federal Government should step
in and help for that reason. If
one were to accept that line of where he has devoted a portion of
reasoning, a "national emergency" his time to painting a landscape.
would be created every time a Hew many men, with such re-
number of Provinces neglected the
responsibilities 'Which, by common
sens-e-and the constitution, they
should- discharge. This would be
a simple means of shifting many
major- problems- -frorri -the Pro-
vinces, where they belong, to the
since records have been kept. In
the last seventy years 4,726 per-
sons, according to the records,
have lost their lives by mob viol-
ence in the U.S. The freqUency
of these lawless incidents has de-
creased gradually, and it is hoped
that 1952 has set a pattern for
the future.
• •
The 50 -cent increase in ' the
charge to car -drivers on account
of the unsatisfied judgment fund
has apparently created a good deal
of annoyance. Itshduld, how-
ever, be regarded as a form of
insurance for which the premium.
is not a serious Matter. The
question arises, however, if a bet-
ter way of dealing with the matter
,
might not --be to require that every
person before receiving a driving
permit should have' insurance. as a
protection to other drivers. It
will probably come to this if ac-
cidents tend to increase.

NORTH STREET W.M.S.
A very inspiring and challenging
talk was heard by the ladie- of
the North' Street United Church
W.M.S. at -their meeting on Jana-
ary 6 by the Rev. H. A. Dickinson,
who also presided over the dedica-
tion of the new executive for 1953.
During his remarks, Mr. Dickinson
said that the W.M.S. had the chal-
lengihg task of doing a work in
the church and world that no
other organization could accom-
plish. The most important chal-
lenge was the bringing in of ad-
herents to full church member-
ship. During the past year, 92
members have been added to the
church. The meeting was opened
by the singing of a hymn and call
to worship by the president, Mks.
Howard Robertson, who pfesided
oveethe business session. Prayer
was offered by Mrs. R. J. Howard.
Mrs. Robertson spoke very feeling-
ly of the passing of Mrs. Baker,
a loyal supporter of the society.
After the regular reports were
read and adopted, the annual re-
ports, which were all very gratify,
mg, especially that of the trees-
-urer, were read. Bequests total-
ling $2,150 were received by the
sodety during the year and for-
warded to the Dominion Board by
the treasurer, Mrs. C. Holland.
The allocation for the year has
been exceeded by quite a sub-
stantial sum. It was moved and
secended that the nominatingcom-
mittee be retained in office during
the coming year In ease of any
changes becoming necessary.
The new president of the Even-
ing Anxillary, Mrs. Pearson, was
introduced by Mrs. Robertson, who
closed the meeting with prayer.

'ft -good to go into debt .. to yourself
It's the streamlined',way to make financial progiess. Some of our most
successful customers use this -System. It's the very heart of Personal
Planning — the B of M's methyd Of family -financing which - Canadians
from coast to coast are finding practical and stimulating.
'It means putting yourself on your own pay -roll. .. making up your
mind that you yourself have a claim on your income just as much as the
landlord, the butcher and the tax -collector.
„
You'll do this, of course, because you have a definite objective —a
strong reason for saving., It may be a general goal likOamily security...
or it may -be soinething specific like a new refrigerator, a house, or ;even
a place in the country.
You can go into debt to yourself in two ways — by saving and by
borrowing.
Saving comes first, of course ... so much a pay-day owing to yourself.
A bank balance gives you personal confidence as few other things
can. It gives you a good foundation for your -financial plans ... an:d it
makes it easier for your B of M manager to lend you money when you
want to realize an objective sooner than you otherwise could.
When you have a sound financial program, but need money for some
useful purpose, borrowing at the 1.3 of M is just as sound as systematic
saving. Indeed, itis another form of saying. And it is the B of M's business
to lend you Money, when it's good business for you to borrow.
A B of M Personal Loan simply enables you to enjoy sooner the
things you plan for ... and you pay it off in regular instalments just as
you have built up,your savings balance.
Why not make up your mind to get what you want
this streamlined way — and open your special-purpose
savings account at ."MY nANK" tomorrow. And while
you're in the Bank, have a chat with the Manager or
Accountant. You will find them ready and interested to
discuss your plans and problems.
