CHANGING W
WE WERE convincedthis week of the fact
that the work of a Commissioner for.: the -Public
Utilities, is a time-consuming and • exacting job.
The men of the PUC must exercise a good deal
more knowledge of electrical, mechanical and
just good bu'siness than probably any other public
body within• a municipality.
Since two years ago the circle around the
commission table has grown considerably, There
are generally two members of the press in at-
tendance, in the interests of the taxpaying':pub-
tic. There' are the five members of the Com-
- mission,: and the superintendent who attends to
give' information, facts and figures cohcerning
proposed work "and reports on work completed,
This year a ninth person, the secretary, is added
to the, circle.
'This group of four commissioners and the
WHAT SOR
WORD OF meetings being held by. the Farm
Union Council in various districts -to the north
and south of here have been reaching us. The
Union is at present a small group of agricultural
people, affiliated with similar groups in Manit-
oba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, which apparen-
tly feel that the Federation of, Agriculture is not
and hasnot been doing all; that is necessary or
possible for the good of the farming people_
We are rather astounded however, at the
fact that. the Union purports to be a fine, up-
standing outfit, when it has not contacted our
office with regards to publicity for meetings in
the nearby area. We have found that a group
which is honestly trying to achieve something
for the community, will beat a hasty path to the
door ofthe weekly newspaper office and state
the problem, the intentions and the promises
Not Too Much Butter
CANADA HAS `a butter stock on hand to-
day of approximately 100,000,000 pounds, a
Mighty impressive sounding figure.
But, says members of the Ontario Cream
Producers' Marketing Board, such a slight
change in national appetites as an extra slice
of toast every morning could soon put an equally
impressive hole in the stock on hand,
Canadians usually consume about 750,000
pounds of butter per day, which is a fair
amount of butter. Because of this national
appetite for the golden- product of the domin-
ion's farms,' dairy farmers feel that any, stock -
less than 20,000,000 pounds . is dangerous:
Any emergency could easily cut into the
Stocks on hand in short order, but in addition
there is the matter of Canada's rapidly growing
'population which will, in due course, boost the
daily total consumption of, butter.
Then too, as the creain- producers' officials
pointed out, if Canadians' take to" eating ''an-
other slice of toast atbreakfast time, frying an
extra egg in butter, or just letting an extra pat
melt slowly into a baked potato, the difference
between the present steak and the danger level
would be reached in a matter of three or four
months.
I.TH THE TIMES
mayor is called upon to deal with matters rang-
ing from the problems inherent with the employ-
ment of a staff of ten men to the highly com-
plex problems of assuring sufficient water supply
for nearly 6,000 persons, the administering of a.
hydro service to 2,600 persons, and of providing
sewerage service to the same number.
The work of the PUC has ` increased in.,
measurably since the time not too long ago
when it was a matter of water and hydro to
2,000 persons .or less, and the job was done by
a commission of -three members.
We would like to extend to them a bouquet
in appreciation for this work, which they must
have' taken on in the first place for "the greater
glory" which comes to the inner being of a man
who knows he has done his best for. the good of ,
his fellow man.
T OF DEAL?
with which such a plan is going to deal,.
When a group does not make its intentions
known in such a way, then we can do nothing
but wonder just what sort of a deal it is trying
to put across.
We are -not saying this to make public our
injured feelings at being left out. Certainly there
are many important things with which we are
only too busy, to take time out to feel hurtabout
the Farm Union ignoring us.
We do feel, and, are sure that our readers
will agree, that if the Union were interested in
informing the public of its intentions then it
would do so by means of the -pages of the.weekly
newspapers, and of the daily press. In . wide
reading, we ..find that attempts by the Union to
publicise its meeting places in advance'. are quite
lacking. We wonder why. '
Essentials of Democracy
(The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville)
"THEY SAY. What say, . they ? Let them
say," ,What kind of a statement is that? Is it
the boasting of 'a bully? - Is• it the vapidity of a
dunce? It could be either, but it is not. It is
the motto of the founder of Marischal College
of Aberdeen. I saw it last summer when I
visited that ancient and honorable seat of higher
learning.
"They say. What say -they? Let them say."
in those three short sentences is the very essence
of democracy, for democracy depends on -the
free competition of ideas; on the right of the
individual to speak his mind,,subjeat to the laws
that govern blasphemy, sedition, obscenity and
defamation.' "They say"—the people are free
to speak what they believe. "What say they?"—
public opinion is important, and is must not be
ignored. But mbst important of all "Let them.
say" -the individual must never be afraid • of
running counter to public opinion; he must think
for himself. Tolerance, sincerity and independ-
ence are qualities that we must all look for and.
value in our fellow -citizens and cultivate in our-
selves. These are essentials tq our way of life--
