ONTARIO GOVERNMENT IN BUSINESS
§hould the Ontario Government go into
business in a field of private enterprise in com-
petition with taxpayers' who inak.e substan=

that goveriiinent? This was.a topic of sharp
(criticism when an executive meeting of the
'Ontario Weekly Newspapers Association was
held at Toronto last «eek.
It was pointed out that department after
department of the government at Queen's Park
is installing its 'ow,il printing departments.
'Many thousands of dollars in printing work
is being done by the Ontario Governnllt which
Once was done by printing' firms and newspaper
printing firers in the province. The Ontario
Government has not gone into the insurance

- REMEMBER.. THESE
The Ontario Rural and Urban Trustees
'Association had •befOre it last June a resolution
proposing that Remembrance Day no longer be.
a school holiday, and that special programs be
conducted in the u hools instead. Taking , no
action, the association referred the matter to
the' incoming exet'utitie. Probably it was mind-
ful of the stand of the Canadian Legion, which
m 1946' had Remembrance Day restored as a
statutory holiday and has always pressed for
proper bbservanee in memory of the, nation's
war dead.
The statenien't was made at the trustee
convention mentioned that the date and oeca-

business, the car business, the hardware busi-
ness, or any other business•,except that of the
printing business.- And the Ontario Weekly
Newspaper Association regards the move, gf
the government into the printing business as a
flagrant intrusion into the field of ,private en-
terprise—a move which is not only unjustifi-
able but one Nvhieh will prove, in the long run,
A short! sighted policy.
TIie move is one which is hot likely to win
friends and influence people -particularly
weekly newspaper people—when an .Ontario
election takes place next June. The subjeetwi's
likely to get another good going over when
`the annual eonvention of the Ontario, Weekly
Newspaper Association is held at the Royal
York Hotel,. Toronto, next February 6 and 7.

"Along Nvith the obvious advantage of
