S. ATKEY - - - Editor and Publisher THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30; 1947 SHORT COURSE IN CITIZENSHIP THE Chatnber.ef Commerce of St. Catharines has just completed a unique experiment. It 'c'onsisted of the production of a short and isinuply worded course in citizenship in the form of ten paid 'advertisements pub- lished in the St. Catharines Standard. 'Phis course in citizenship can 'be started anywhere and read with profit because those who desiigned the 'ads realized good citizenship comprises a number of elements, each in itself compl'et'e but when integrated, one with the other, producing the full flower of public service and na- tional 'appreci'atibn. Perhaps never before in' our history have these elements of :good 'citizenship been expressed so clearly and in such A B C language. Thus, for instance, the much overworked and greatly misunderstood term. "Free Enter- prise" is. brought into proper perspective by these earnest soli] -searchers of the St. Catharines Chamber of Com- merce. Unlike many they do not paint free enterprise With the hues of industrial monopoly, mercantile c'ompe- tition or a cat and dog struggle for profit and power. They define free enterprise in ten simple sentences which any- one with a knowledge of the English (language should be able to understand. They say free enterprise ds: The relight to work where you please. The right to worship how you please. The might to vote how you like. The right to say what you brink. The right to start your own business. The right to own your own (property. The right to the sanctity of your home. The right to belong to any organization. The right to be a Canadian. • The right to free enterprise — Canada's fifth fre'e'dom. They ask the question f'Wh+ait iS a business?" In answering it they throw out of the window ,all long- winded dogmas and !theories and they make the• under- standable answer: "A business is just people each doing hiS job to the best of his ability." What could 'be simpler than that? But so there oan be no mistake they go on and tell who these people are. They're -the owners; the operators, the general manager, the accountants, sales manager, office girls, public rel'ati'ons, purchasing agents, the 'traffic manager, the foremen, the shapmen, the ad- vertising men and die research staff. They examine a number of the fundamentals upon which our democratic freedom is founded and which are- a target for attack Iby those who hold to ideologies which are not compatible with those of our own. Then they de- fine democracy in perhaps the most basiC English that has ever been used for that purpose. "Democracy", says rbhi's short course in citizenship of the St. Catharines ,Chamber, of Commerce, "is that sys- tem of government which more than any other dos predi- caiteld upon the dignity of the individual; it exists for the greater happiness, 'appreciation ,and usefulness of man." And (then to show the difference between what is enjoyed by 'a worker in a democracy and one under com- mmnasmm, today's greatest competitor of democracy, these proponents of good citizenship and good government of the St. Ca t h'arhies Chamber of Commerce, print what they call ".graphically "A Box Score". Without the illus- traitions, here it is: Canada Russia Hours Hours Worked To Buy Worked 3 daily food for five people 9 1 cotton 'st'o'ckings 24 3 cotton shirts 320 2 woollen gloves 100 4 'a`l'arm clock 160 14 tooth brush 4 75 lady's coat 1,000 30 wrist watch 1,600 3 galoshes 160 1/6 bottle of beer • ' 8 Probably that is the 'greatest 'argument of 'alit for the :maintenance of our way of wife.

'Murray Stuart, minister of Colborne St. United .Ohurch, London. occupied' the pulpit inthe morning and in the evening Rev. W. J.
