PRESERVE SPIRT OF
DEMOCRACY
If there is to be democracy after
the war is over, democracy must
not be abandoned while the war ,is
on. The spirit of democymust
be respected, not suppressed,
in the democracies themselves.
The thing for which the war is
fought abroad Tmtustaot be lost at

Superintendent Says Prob-
lem ``Peng Business"
A call for a complete overhaul-
ing of the province's relief sys-
tem as it affects the rural areas
was made in Woodstock by
Thom-
as Phillips, superintendent of the
Norfolk Children's Aid Society ad-
dressing a meteing of the Wood-
stock Rotary Club.
"This question has now enter-
ed the realm of big business,"
said Mr. Phillips, "and it is time
to take its administration away
from the municipalities that are
ill-equipped to raise the necessary
taxation or to appoint persons
skilled enough to adnlinister erisuch
a problem, Federal and p
l
participation have made the lot of
municipalities easier but the mach-
inery is creaking badly."
Mr. Phillips advocated that out-
side of the large urban centres
no unit for relief should be less
than country -wide and the admin-
istration placed in charge of spec-
ially trained persons.
