Education Week
CANADIAN EDUCATION WEEK, is from
March 5-11. The purpose of setting aside a
week to publicize educational matters is, to
bring home to Canadians the possibilities for
participating in this most important part of
community and national life.
Education week is initiated by the Can-
adian Teachers' Federation and is sponsored
as well, by such national, organizations as the
Canadian Association for Adult Education, The
Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the Canadian
Congress' of Labour, the •Canadian Federation
of Agriculture, the Canadian Legion,' end the
Trades and Labour Congress of Canada.
A different phase of Canadian education
is being highlighted each day of the week; On
Sunday, March 5, Education and the Church;
Monday, Education in the Home; Tuesday, the
School, andon succeeding days the Farm, In-
dustry and Commerce, Labour and the Vera-
munity.
Here is a program' in which Canadians of
all creeds and classes can work toward a com-
mon point of view. It merits the support of
all of us -Education Week, March 5 to 11.
"Sewing Bees" Help Europe
THE WORDS "sewing bees" seem to have
gone out of style but they are still going on,
in churches, in homes and headquarter work-
rooms. These are the Red Cross .Women's
Work groups, knitting or sewing, making
warm clothes to be sent to the British Red
Cross where they will be distributed to the
needy people of Europe.
There is still a big job to do in rehab-
ilitating Europe. Word from overseas officials
of the Red Cross still points out the need of
warm clothing for the destitute. The Canadian
Red Cross. has quotas to fill .and where there
is need the Red Cross is ready to serve.
During the war years a great deal was
heard about women's -war work. While the
glamour of knitting for the service men is
over, the women still work to providewarmth
and comfort for those who need it. Women's
work needsyour support during the campaign
for funds. You can help turn those big bolts

THOUGHT FOR TODAY—We may be giv-

the product of some one else's thinking that
we are tending Increasingly to scamp the job
of teaching students to think for them-
selves.—Charles Dollard.
"Who's
ho's
WE ARE FREQUENTLY reminded that we
are engaged in a "cold war." Most after-
dinner speakers these days will tell' us : ser-
iously and solemnly that this war is one of
ideas, and that 'it is being fought for "the
minds of men." There can be no doubt that
this warning is justified. Unfortunately there
has been as yet little analysis of the results
of this warfare. It would seem that it is
necessary from time to time to take stock of
our position. Are we winning the war or are
we losing it? asks The Canadian Chamber of
Commerce News Letter.
If we agree that one of our tasks Is to
resist the breakdown of the Christian prin-
ciples of conduct and belief which form the
backbone of a democratic society of respon-
sible individuals, and if we believe that it is
also pert of our task to encourage the develop-
ment of those same principles in the minds
and hearts of the new generations, then we
must admit that we are fighting a losing
battle. The Communists are intent upon under-
mining the thinking of the free peoples of the
world, and whether it is because they are
doing an effective job, or because we are
stupidly destroying ourselves, their profes'secl
objective is being achieved. •
We cannot hope to win a "cold war," a
"hot war," or any other kind of a war in-
volving ideologipal ccnflict by foece of arms
alone. We must, if we are to be victorious.
.look to our moral rearmament. Just as the
limbs of the human body wither add become
useless without exercise, so too does our belief
in and desire for liberty atrophy and die unless
it is kept bright and shining with a constant
faith.
On every hand we see evidences of the
decay of faith in the individual to solve his
Winning?"
own problems. We see a growing tendency
to look to someone else for the solution of our
problems. A watch factory finds it impossible
to compete against imported watches, and the
government is asked to keep the factory work-
ing. A market for a farm product is lost, and
the government is asked to purchase the sur-
plus.,Government is asked to take the risk
out oliving by .providing security from the
cradle to the grave. Mental suffering becomes
a cause for divorce, and physical suffering be-
comes a good end sufficient reason for the
suspension of murder laws. Humanity, in an
effort to change this vale of tears into a
materialistic paradise, is rapidly heading to --
wards the creation of a Hell beyond Dante's
wildest dreams.
Necessary as it is to keep well to the
forefront in the race for newer end better
weapons of destruction in order to prevent the
holocaust of another shooting war, it is ever
more important to replace on their pedestals
the virtues of truth, 'honesty, faith, . charity,
independence, and to develop among ell citizens
a greater appreciation of individual respon-
sibility.
Communism, like religion, has inspired
loyalty and devotion because it has provider..
the opportunity for the individual to give of
himself. It has enabled men to sacrifice them-
selves for the cause. The same crusading spirit
must be awakened on behalf of democracy.
Today the spirit of sacrifice is little under-
stood among the free nations, nor will it be
developed so long as free citizens cherish the
belief that only the "sucker" does things for
him -self if good organization and good pub-
licity may induce politically -minded legislat-
ors to have the government do it for him.
The easy way, is the way to serfdom.
The I.O.O.F. hes rented rooms
above the Hydro shop andwill
take possession Be soon as they,
can be suitably fitted up.
A lovely social evening was
held by the L.O,B.A. when two
of their members, Mrs, J. H. Pax -
men and Mrs. D. L. Stephenson,
were honoured prior to their de-
parture from town. Mrs. W. Shah-
brook , and Mrs. W. McClinchey

David D. Wilson, of Seaford.
is of Canadian nativity, having
been born in North Dumfries,
Waterloo County, in 1839. He
possesses more than an ordinary
share of genuine Canadian enter-
prise, the exercise of which has
made him one of the most sue-
cess'l l business men of Seaforth.
The date of his settlement in that
town was March, 1867, and much
of the . time since then he has
been engaged • in the export of
eggs. He handles an immense
number of these staple articles. of
food; and owing to the more
reliable manner of packing and
curing which is practiced by him
,and other. equally enterprising
Canadain dealers, these eggs are
quoted higher than American
eggs in the New York market.
Mr. Wilson hes oe several oc-

Letters to Editor
THAT STRAPLESS GOWN
The Editor •
News -Record
Clinton •
DEAR SIR:
Recently you had editorial
comment to effect that a ..Tian
•should be able to get a thrill- from
looking at a strapless evening
gown.
The idea was new to me and I
doubted it. I have done some
reesearch and lookd over the
complete stock of strapless gowns
in six city stores. I can report
that you were wrong. There was
not a thrill in any of them, in-
cluding the ones that obliging
clerks brought from the stock
rooms' for my inspection.
Yours in interest of truth,
(Signed) FRED SLOMAN
