The controlling power; the
rule of law; the sovereignity of
Parliament has, for its funct-
ions, to ensure that. in a society
of free men, power is divided.
Not between all, for that spells
anarchy, but between many.
Above all, it has to ensure that
no exercised in a manner thatt
imperils the safety and ' well-

We have reached a period
when, through weakness, the
ultimate sovereignity of Parlia-
ment has failed. The egalitar-
ian .ideal, which makes slch an
appeal to the unthini ing elector,
that nation is a collection y of
individuals to whose separate
interests and rights, all other
considerations are subordinate,
makes privilege indefensible.
It was that shrewd statesman,
Benjamin Disraefi, who posed
the ,olrposite view and thereby
erected a milestone on the road
of progress. To hiiin the com-
munity was a continuing socie-
ty, in which the full value of
each individual life was m•easur-

tion to the common weal. Pri-

it was necessary. Necessary to

What mattered was not that
all men should he equal, as the
Socialists preached, blit that all
men should have an equal op
pOortunity to win the kind of
privilege , which made them re-
adier to serve their country.
"There is an equality which
levels and destroys, and an
equality which. elevates and
crea tes.
Disraeli believed in the divine
instinct in man that. given the
right background, had the pow-
er to raise him from the brute
to the patriot; to the martyr;
even to the saint. "There
should always be an unfailing
faith that•, there is a treasure
in the heart of every man, if
only you can find it."
If the nation is not to perish,
or continue to be bogged down
in. materialistic squabbles such
as the wage -price spiral, we
shall have to find a man tough
enough to endure the crude
rough and. tumble of political
life; a man who will impress
on the statute book as well as
on the minds and consciences
of the nation, new ideas and
new ideals.
The past few weeks have
borne witness to the power pos-
sessed by the trade unions to
impose their decisions, not mer-
ely on their own members and
on those with whom they "bar-
gain," but on the nation and the
government. Under the present
dispensation, all forms of trans-
portation can- be brought to .a
standstill; power,, supplies put
-off; hospitals deserted by their
staffs; factories and mines shut
down; any and all of which
erode the commerce and good
name of the nation at hoarse

The truth,
the whole truth,
and nothing but the •'truth
about home heating.
Are you confused about home heating
fuels? What with everybody and his•
brother telling you how economical,
.convenient, quiet and automatic ,his
particular system is, you must.feel like
flying south for the winter. But if you
have to stay and- face a cold, hard
winter (like most of us) better read
these cold, hard' facts.
Wood -and coal are probably the
rr.ost . economical fuels to buy—but
<h:Ey're also the least efficient. And
: ,-,oner or later.you'll get tired of slay-
ing over a dirty furnace—then what?
You can choose between a liquid
f ,,F•1 or so-called "flameless" heating.
Or natural gas. All of them claim to be
the best. Who should you believe?
Initial installation costs are higher
fi,r liquid fuel equipment than for gas.
A gas unit has fewer moving parts,
needs less maintenance and therefore
lasts longer. In order for "flameless"
heating to compete in operating cost,
• it requires extra -thick insulation
throughout the home.
If your home had extra. -thick insula-
tion, no matter what kind of heating'
system you use, you'd naturally cut
fuel costs. With extra insulation or
normal insulation,. a gas heating sys-
tem mea is lower fuel costs by far.
You never have to order natural
gas—it's always there. A good, old -
•S
-9
fashioned Canadian snowstorm can't
stop natural gas from heating your
home. Storms can stop trucks. They
can also knock out power lines—and
very often do. ,Unless you have your,
own generator, "flameless" heating can
give you the cold shoulder,.just when
you need a warm house. Let's face it—
nothing is as dependable as natural gas.
With modern gas heating there are
no hot and cold "layers" of stale lir.
Dust and dirt particles can be filtered
.from the air and humidity controlled.
Wouldn't you rather have a heating
system that took' care of these trier"id
functions?
When you get right down to it,
modern automatic gas heating has the
edge in just about every department.
But if you're still not convinced, may-
be this will help; if you install a gas
"conversj i burner in your existing fur-
nace now, or install a brand-new gas
design furnace --we'll spread out the
cost of the installation in easy monthly
payments—over 5 years if need be.
Unless you know someone who'll
chop your wood for free, you won't get
a better deal than this—anywhere!
Why not make the switch to natural
gas heating right now.
UNION GAS' COMPANY
Gas makes the big (comfortable)difference
complete frqdorn. You have
estates as large as the Romans,
combined with commercial en-
terprise such as Carthage and
Venice united never equalled.
And, you must remember that
this country, with' these strong
contrasts, is not 'governed by
force; it is not governed by
standing armies; it is governed
by a most singular series of
traditionary influences, which
generation after generation
cherish, because they know .that
they embalm custom and re-
present law.
"You have established and
maintained a complicated sche-
me of labour and iindustry, • All
these creations are out of all
proportion to the essential and
indigenous elements and re-
sources of the country. If you
destroy that state of society,
remember this, you cannot be-
gin again. Society has a soul as
welll as a body. The traditions
of a nation are- part of its ex-
istence . Its valour, its disoip-
line, its laws, its eloquence and
its scholarship are as much
portions of its life as its agri-
culture, its commerce ajid its
engineering skill. -
"I hold it equally true that
a people who recognize no high-
er aim than physical -enjoyment
must become selfish ,and ener-
vated. Same human progeny,

It is not a question of de-
priving any man of the right
to withhold his labour, or to
bargain freely. These are rights
which a worker possesses today
in larger measure than he
ever possessed tem before. It
is merely a' question of denying
