"Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose;
Butyoung men think it is, and we were young.
A. E. Housman
Today we will pause momently from our tasks to pay silent tribute to our
honoured dead. That we should do. this is altogether fitting, small though the
tributebe.' So great is our debt to their devotion that whatever honour we may
pay is but a token against the homage due their sacrifice. No warrior class these,
but men from farm and factory, desk and counter who rallied to spend youth's
unfulfilled maturity as the price of their belief in human decency. Yet into the
scale with our moment of remembrance we can throw the resolve to revitalize our
faith in their ideals. In some small measure we can lessen our obligation by a
consecration to those principles for which they died. The'light of democragy grows
dim beneath the fog of a cynical materialism which threatens to engulf our world.
Let us, then, resolutely dedicate ouselves to the task of rekindling that flame which
so brightly blazed for them. Our duty be it to guard the -ancient faith steadfastly
and without equivocation that these hallowed dead shall not have made the last
supreme sacrifice in vain.
THE "TWO -YEAR -TERM"
AS A MATTER. OF INTEREST, when elec-
tion day is now so near — (only 16 days
until Nomination Day) perhaps this small it
in the way of a new view of the oft -proposed
two-year term, is appropriate.
Editor of the Arnprior Chronicle, R. S.
Atkey, has this idea:
"Would the two-year term have the effect
of retaining seasoned men in Council, thus al-
lowing the town to benefit from their exper-
ience? We can't see that it would matter much
if the term were one or two years if a man
was really interested in his work and desired
to remain in Council. The voters likely would
understand and return him,
sma;"The cost of holding an election is only a
l fraction of the cost of running the town
for a year, and the so-called saving that might
be made, is a little ephemeral in view of quite
a few other places where savings could be made
in the cost of the town's administration."
RURAL COMMUNITY SCHOOL
ONCE A WEEK for 16 weeks this winner,
adults will gather in the Seaforth District
High School for instruction in a variety of sub-
jects, ranging all the way from oil painting to
contract bridge. Those attending will use var-
ious utensils ranging from the space -man like
helmet used by electric welders, to the dainty
needle of the basic sewing class.
This is the fourth year the school has been
held in the County, and each year the idea
gains more support. Here is a chance for the
instruction of adults in basic skills and useful
hobbies, for which so many have been asking.
With the shorter working• hours resultant
from the increased numbers of machines now
in use, more and more adults are finding spare -
time hours, of idleness. To fill this void, adult
education was born, Along with skilled instruc-
tion in the craft chosen is included a friendly
atmosphere among people interested in the
same work.
The classes have been held in Exeter and
in Seaforth. Since the plan is to move the
school every two years, organisers will be look-
ing for a new location next year. Why not
Clinton?
With any sort of luck at all, the renovat-
ing at Clinton 'District Collegiate Institute
should be complete in time for next season.
Already night classes in stationary engineering,
and in basic English are being carried on in
CDCI. There seems no reason why further
classes in other subjects could not be instituted.
There would need to be an invitation sent
from the CDCI Board. Then, through co-opera-
tion of the Department of Agriculture, and the
Community Programmes Branch, Department
of Education, the project could be carried out
here.
IT SPENDS OUR MONEY
TILE "GOVERIVIINT" spends a great deal
more of our money than many of us realize.
As a director of the Canadian Chamber of Com-
merce recently said, at present thirty-six point
nine cents out of every dollar we earn goes to
the various levels of government in one form
of tax or another," Translated this means: if
your salary is $50 per week, the "Govermint"
will have the pleasure of spending $18.45 of it.
We would conclude that most of,us should•
be paying a lot more attention to how that
money is being spent than we do right now.
The same speaker mentions the twotop
expenditures of the Canadian government—of
defense expenditure he deplores the fact that
nothing much can be done—of welfare expense
he warns of letting She government institute
any new schemes. He says, "it is practically
Impossible ever to abolish or even curtail them.
In case of a recession, no matter how much wo
personally may be feeling the pinch, we will
still have to pay taxes to finance the govern-
ment's welfare program."
"Essentially, all welfare schemes are a pro-
cess by which the government takes our money
and, then redistributes it, after deducting the
expenses entailed by this operation."
Still another item to be considered is this:
Every time the Canadian citizen asks the "Gov-
ermint" to do something more for him, he is
giving the "Govermint" more control over his
own interests. "This power stifles the very
freedom upon which our progress has been based
and our future depends.'
