Windsor Faces A Grim Christmas
THOUSANDSOF WORKERS )end their
Innocent families are facing a grim Christmas
season in one of Canada's greatestindustrial
cities --Windsor.
And there does not seem very much need
for the existence of this condition, of affairs.
It is the result of a "wildcat" strike of
9,000 Ford of Canada workers and the im-
minent strike of 2,500' Chrysler employees, •
These strikes will reach down and force the
lay-off of thousands of other workers who are
forced into the position of losing their jobs
through no fault of their own.
Conditions at Windsor reflect conditions
existing in many large cities in Granada and
the United States today, and make us feel
more than glad that we are fortunate enough
to live in a comparatively rural community
where common horse sense seems to be far
more prevalent.
The issue- appears to resolve itself into
one of tabor union irresponsibility, which is
becoming intolerable. In the past 18 months,
Ford's operations have been disrupted 34 times
by wildcat strikes and illegal stoppages of
work, and scores of other industries have been
subjected .to the same guerilla union tactics,
directly contrary to contractual. obligations.
. Rhys. M. Sale, president of Ford of Canada,
reported that "men were shouldered and
jostled and subjected to abuse. In some cases,
machines were shut off by demonstrators where
the operators refused to leave them. Gangs .
of shouting men invaded departments' where
they had no business and compelled employees
to quit."
It looks like organized hit-and-run tactics,
much more than a, spontaneous demonstration. ,
Who engineered the stoppage?
We have no quarrel with the rights of
labor, including the right to organize and deal
collectively with management. But under our
system of government,. with rights end privi-
leges there come also responsibilities. That is
the very foundation stone of democracy, and
the theory and practice of it must be main-
tained at all costs.
Nothing can justify roughhouse tactics, and
the casual breaking' of solemn agreements,
whether the fault be on the side of labor or
management. Both must work together or else
the consumer and the nation as a whole must
suffer in the long run.
Editorial Comment ...
Santa Claus is coining to Clinton again
on Friday afternoon, December 21, under the
auspices of the Town Council.
.Clinton is to have a new knitting industry
located in a section of the piano factory, a
small one to be sure, but "great oaks from
little acorns grow." May the Chamber of
Commerce keep up the good work!
King Winter came in November and then
took quite a holiday. But he seems beck on
the job again with a vengeance, judging by
yesterday's very heavy fall of snow in this
area. It certainly should be "a White Christ-
mas."
Only nine more shopping days until'
Christmas!
We have been asked why the new fire siren
is located on the roof of. the grandstand in
Community Park instead of on top of the Town
Hall. We have been given one explanation
that the phase of the motor has something to
do with it. Will someone please inform us?
May we extend a hearty welcome to two
clergymen who are taking up their residence
in Clinton this weekend -Rev. Father Joseph
O'Rourke, new parish priest of St. Joseph's,
Clinton, and St. Michael's, Blyth; and Rev. J.
E. Ostrom, minister of Clinton and Auburn
Baptist Churches!

LIKES PAPER
Editor,
Clinton News -Record
Clinton, Ontario
PEAR SIR:
Your paper continues to hold
our interest and each week we
look forward to receiving another
copy. We miss Clinton but hope
to get back for a visit in the not
too distant future. We wish, also,
to be remembered to the Clinton
people.
The Gimli Station 'is liked by
those stationed here but none of
us like these cold winters. We
are gradually getting acclimatiz-
ed, however, to the emusement
of the hearty town folk.
Please find enclosed money
order for the renewal of our
subscrpition.
Yours truly,
MR. AND MRS. R. E. SMITH
Gimli, Man.
Here are Five Good Reasons Why You Save Money
Shopping in Clinton.
1 -You save the cost and the time neces sary .for distant travel;
2 -You save on the price of merchandise -Clinton stores are geared to lower over-
head;
3 -Your money spent in Clinton stores provides better jobs for people in this
district;
4 -Your money spent in Clinton stores reflects itself in still greater selection,
higher quality, lower price ... you have a visual selection of your purchase;.
5 -Your money spent in Clinton comes back to you in the suppoKt of your
schools ... your churches . . , your clubs , , , district projects ... in fact,
every project that requires money maintenance.
INCREASED RETAIL BUSINESS WILL EITHER LOWER YOUR CONTRI-
s BUTION TO ANY GIVEN PROJECT, OR WILL MAKE THE PROJECT
FINANCIALLY BETTER.
