A "ROUGH ROUGH .AND DIFFICULT ROAD"
ANADIANS must travel "a roughu i end difficult It road"
as a result of emergency measures taiken. by the
Dominion Government to restrict the nation's spending
abroad. In pointing .this out, Prime Minister Mackenzie
King also urged Canadians not to lose sight of the long-
-range objectives in the country's new trade treaties.
Although the 'period of operation has been too
short and the terms hardly known at time 'ovf writing, it is
obvious that the general idea is ttlhalt Canadians hereafter
must pull in (their belts and live within their collective
national income. They have been travelling at a great rate
dining the past year or two, and it its fortunate indeed that
the Government has seen fit at least to make an 'attempt
to !curb the tremendous luxury -spending that has been
going on, and improve OUT dollar position 'wth the United
States. True, many individuals may be hard hit, but the
'sacrifice of individuals and the people at a ; whole may
prove welill worthwhile.
Why should we -one of the anos't fortunate nations
In tlhe world -worry abut getting a new car or a new re-
fs berat'or or something else next eprintg, when millions of
people are facing starvation aaNl lover ;the world? If we
lived in Britain, we might find out the [meaning of (auster-
ity.
Naturally, many vpeaple would like to import goods
froan the United States without any reference whatever
to our exports to that country. But it just e'as't be done
that way, and the emergency measures taken this week
are expected to be alt least a palliative.

BEST WISHES TO THE ROYAL COUPLE!
WEDDING is 'both a happy and a solemn event in
the lives of the parties concerned. It is an occasion
when a man and a woman. not only pledge their troth to
one another, but one on whdloh.they unite to assume 4lhe
high responsibilities and obligations associated with citi-
zenship in a democratic society.
These responsibilities and Obligations are greater and
more exacting when one of the !panties involved is a fu-
ture Queen, as in the -case of Princess Elizabeth, whose
marriage to Lieut. Phillip 1Vlovntibatten, Duke of Edinburgh,
ureas solemnized in Westmllneter Abbey today.
Litre her father and mother, the present King and
Queen, the Heiress Presumptive has !won the hearts of
Canadians, Charming and gracious, the young Princess has
exemplified that friendly democratic a spirit which, in recent.
years, has endeared the members of the Royal Family to
th people of the British Commonwealth of Nations.
The people of Canada will unite with the peoples of
other nations of (the British family in extendi'Ing warm and
sincere • wivshes to both Her Royal Highness and her hand-
some husband for •their 'continued happiness and long Idlfe.
• During these days of international anxiety and un-
eeartainty, it heavy burden of responsibility rests upon those
wkio are called upon to dedicate their lives to the service
' of their country. That burden 'cam vbe lightened by the
loyalty and love of the people whom they serve.

FAMILY ALLOWANCES
Editor:
Clinton News -Record,
Dear Sir:
As an immigrant,' I was astonished
to find that when 1 become a, 'Can-
adian citizen, my wife 'will be entitled
to a monthly allawanee from the
Government on behalf of our son.
I ,can by no means a :rich man, but
I consider that I am abbe to feed and
clothe my family by my awn efforts.
There must be thousands of others
who, like 'myself, dislike charity in
any forum, and. this 'compul'sory' alp
lowance 'seem's to me to be just that.
As far as I am concerned, the
"Baby Bonus" is a wore waste of
taxpayers' money which,. without
achieving its ahn, runs into millions
of dollars a year. At the name time
It has .a double-edged effect on people
like myself since it ;Mappens.. to put
my net income .in a higher tax
bracket than it would :otherwise be.
Wlhat I would far rather :see would
be a reduction :of income tax et the
expense of futile gratuities wtiliels
are, M any case, at the debit of the
community.

meeting at Knox Presbyterian
Church, Rev. Richard Stewart, Mrs.
Stewart and two sons were honored
on .the neve, of their departure to New

ian Legion, marched from the Legion
Home and held their annual church
parade. to Clinton Baptist Church
,Sunday morning November 9, to com-
mernorate Remembrance Day, This
was a service separate and distinct
from the community service held in
the Town Hall Tuesday morning.
Special music by the choir included
a vocal solo, "If .1 could only tell Him
as I know Him," by Miss Trixio For -
myth; selection by the choir, "Now to
Heaven." Hymns sung were "0 God,
our Help in Ages Past," "For all
the saints," and "Jesus, still lead
on."
Rev. Archibald Forsyth, ;minister of
the church and himself an Imperial
veteran of World War 1, 'heartily
welcomed. the members of the Legion:
and Auxiliary.
The preacher took his text from
Hdbrews 10:32: "But call to reeemb-
ranee the former days in which, after
ye were illtuninated, ye endured e
great fight of afflictions'' He said
appreciation should be ,remembrance
- appreriialtion of the difference made
because of their sufferings. In the
early days it was not easy to be a
Christian; it did take courage - to
witness for OOhrist; it :might mean
that they would be imprisoned, be .put
to death.
Rev. Mr. Forsyth pointed out that,
for the most port, members of the
armed forces were nit professional
soldiers, but he could easily recall
instances of alpeoial courage of all
those who took part in World, Wars 1
and Li. When we speak of those who
died, we speak of a. special kind of
courage.
"Today, we need, especially in re-
ligion, men who are willing to face
the consequences, give service thr-
ough sacrifice," the minister declared.
"The Christian Church, today ,needs
people of courage, leonvi'otion and eon..
secretion. We must recognize the
great principle that there must, be
service through sacrifice. He urged
his audience to join together in ser-
vice and, sacrifice,
At the ,close of the .service,; , Ed

of the fallen. Trumpeter William
Hearn played "Last ,Post," two min-.
