Authorized as second class mail,- Post Office Department, Ottawa Advertising Rate and Detailed Circulation Cauls on Request R. S. ATKEY - - - - - - Editor and Publisher - THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1947 IS THIS GOOD ADVERTISING? Adverbising the Town of Canton does not necessarily require the expenditure of vast sums of money on giltedged brochures, photography, amt work, 'and what have you. The town, in its ordinary daily operation as a busy business centre, can do a good deall without the .expenditure -of very much cash, but with the expenditure of a little care, courtesy and commonsense. Tourists passing [through the main 'street of Clinton on Sunday would have seen something not to our credit, They would have seen la -dirty main street, the pavement studded there and there with papers and refuse, and dust galore. They would hay seen a public park, next the Town Hadi, its beautiful •grass 'carpet lettered here and there with the aftermath 'a busy Saturday night. They would have seen a town in a rather "messy" state of ''affairs. And then, by any chance, tlh'eilr route took them north on King's Hitghwaly No. 4, up Vinegar Hill, it is certain that they really would have learned a lesson on the real aneannhig of the word "dust". For several weeks now It has been bill- owing into the houses on one side oftf the roaxi, back to the een'tre of the highway, and then bildoiwing into the houses on the other side of the street. Surely, if road oil or calcium chloride or not 'available, an old fashioned water - cart might be put into use. At least, it would be better than nothing. It just happens•tJhat not one member of the Town Council resides inthat particular part of the town; some- times we wish one or two of them did. Now, The NEWS RECORD is not 'anxious to trikiie- ise the powers -that -be, because, goodness knows. most of us are guilty enough ourselves of odd deviations from the straight and narrow, as for as suck matters are concerned But we are of the opinion that some organized effort should be made to clean up the main busi'nees se'ct'ion, at least once a week, not only for the bexiefit of our expeute'd thous- ands of weekend summer visitors but also for ourselves; and also make some attempt to abate the nefarious dust nuisance. 0 0 0 FREEDOM VERSUS TYRANNY T' he menace of Communists to our Canadian way of life els vividly evident, it is very lucidly pointed out in a repast entitled. "The Communist 'Phreat to Canada" just released by tihe Canadian Chamber of Com- merce of whi'c'h Clinton and District :Chamber of Commerce is a member. This documented analysis, complete with proofs, states that in a Communist Canada, every surviving citizen would be subject to a rigidly tyrem cel control 'of every detail of his existence. He could net choose his job, nor change his job'. For !grousing he could be ejected from his liome.. For lateness he could be sent to a slave -camp in time Yukon. For attempting to escape from such a Canada, he would be shot said his innocent family given five years of penal servitude. • The only incentive to enterprise would be the higher 'wages of the faster worker in a ruthless system of speed- up at tihe expense of half-starved sweated labor. He could read only Communist -approved literature. listen only to Communilat-approved ealdio programmes; and vote only fora Communist -approved candidate (with no alternative). Even his leisure would be confiscated for "voluntary" work on Communist projects. Every phase of his daily life would be pried into by political police, sniffing,out heresy against the Communist order, and he would never know when their knock on his door by night maight be the pre- lude to his death, torture, or exile at forced labor, without a pellicle of evidence or even the formality of a trial. Our Canadian way of hfe jas, perhaps, the freest in human history, and our 'scale of living about the highest. By compariaori, Coanmuiliem may be said to have solved nothing; for to shoot one's citizens or oppress them by the million in concentration camps, Is no real solution for a country's eeonornhic ills. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce believes —• and we trust its beliefs are held by the vast majority of our 'Canadian citizens — that Conan uauism ie aln organized and even fanatical world movement opposed to true de- mocracy and to the freedom off the individual. In the light of this belief, tihe Chamber holds that it has a responsibility to its members and to ,all 'Canadians to ex- pose the aims of the. Communists and the methods they employ, 'acid to draw to the attention of all citizens the threat which Communism presents. Criiticism of 'Commun'i'sm idoes not imply enmity to Russia nor does it brand tihe.critic as a War -monger. Com- munism is subversive because it preaches the overturn of our form of Government by force; it is tyrannous beeause it compels obedience to a "party line," formulated outside this country, rather than to duly constituted authority. , Weakness or comip'ltaceney in the face of evil is not to be tolerated, sand the Chamber of Commerce expresses th'e belief that by presenting the (gets, it will help to deivel'op a more informed electorate, alert to the dangers which exist. This will be our best safeguard against state regimentation and loss o:f, individual liberty. 000 EDITORIAL ' COMMENT Thought for'Today-Some people.are so fond of ill -- Wok that they run half -way to meet it.
