COLQUI-IOUN Editor Plant Manager THURSDAY, DECEMBER 46, 1948 'GLAMOUR 1N ABSTINENCE` n urging that abstinence from liquor be counted as gram- Iorous, the National Grange, big farmer organization in the United States,' has • hit on something fundamental. Refusal 'to drink should be legtfrded as the mark of a roan who will get some place in the world, the Grange feels. The real glamour goes with success, remarks The ' Chris'tian>Science'Monitor. editorially. The man or the woman ;who makes a happy .home or does the day's work well obtains a deep* satisfaction which rises incalculably beyond any casual alcoholic frivolity. `. The so-called glamour of liquor is also 'costly When it brings the tremendous loss of self-respect which follows excess or,, as too often happens, complete .failure in life. An encouraging angle of this glamour business is the attitude toward drink of many veterans going to college since the war. Their war experience has given them a keener sense of values. . As tempreance education has been sagging, the Grange ‘also agreed to use all its influence to get a comprehensive temperance educational program set up in the public schools. The plain, honest facts about the effects of alcohol will take all the fictitious glamour from a liquor glass concludes The Monitor. ,; .4 +rt;_.' aw ,;J , i A./ © 0 ,0 PICKPOCRETS 13Y THE BILLIONS ecently, 'the Dominion Bureau of Statistics published a highly revealing document which should be studied care- fully by every deep .thinking Canadian. It is titled: "Special Survey on Sales of Pest Control Products by Canad- ian Registrants." ' ~" ,. The theme of the report is that Earners hi thIS country are having their pockets picked up to t4ie tune of 350 million ,dollars -annually by pests such as .insects, fungi, weeds and rats. This night sound startling. But no more .so than the statements that "with modern pest control method's it is estimated 80 per cent of this loss could he averted with a subsequent increase in output and efficiency of production." 'This simply means that if farmers made full use of the eidsting weapons science has given their to battle the pest hordes, they could be wealthier by at least $3 00,0p0,000 each year. 1 To say such a figure is merely hypothetical and im- possible to achieve is sheer defeatism. Business and industry spend mill'i'ons of dollars yearly.to determine where the leaks are .in their profits. When they do find out, immediate steps are taken to plug them. But what has the farmer done to' date in preventing the devastating raids on his business? Let statistics answer this. in the same document it is shown that Canadian farmers spent only' 110,000,000 on pest control products in 1947—which is about one-half of one per cent of the grass farm income of about two billion dollars .far the. same period. 1t is obvious from the fore- going that if farmers 'wish' to increase their profits, they must be ready to pray more for protecting their original investment. .© O EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for.To-day---A gossip is a person with a keen sense of rumor. • • O 0 0 ,The Commonwealth wilLhave another "Bonnie Prince Charlie.
