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.

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.
