al � ns >;n y
ice a a olitica did not
**onto, . s p party,
T make _ muck ...of_ : a ...showing_. Still
worse for the future welfare of that
body,, it suffered -a 'rout. Not. only
did it fail to elect a single represent- '
ative, but it failed to hold the two
. aldermen and the three seats on the
Board of. Education that it wonlast
year.
Consequently, its strong bid, as
well as strong hopes of seizing party
control of municipal government in
'Toronto, were most emphatically
frowned upon by the ratepayers of
that city. This is not the first cloud
that has darkened the brilliant C. C.
F. star that shone so brightly after
the Provincial elections of last year,
nor, do we believe,- it will be.. the last.
Such a Socialisticgovernment as
the C.C.F. party propose to form at
Ottawa could .scarcely -come into be-
ing, let alone exist for,any.;'length of
time, unless that form of govern-
ment extended -down through the
provincial governments, as, well ;as
the Municipal governinents in all, or
a great majority 'of the Provinces of
Canada: The party is well aware of.
that fact and that is why it made'
such'.arstrong bid for political control
of›Toronto. Because if that strong-
hold was once captured, the- control
of ...smaller cities and towns, as well
as townships, would most likely fol-
low in its wake. -
But when it comes to municipal af-
fairs, ratepayers rarely act first and
think afterwards. In fact, the pro-
cess Is theother way round. Muni-
' cipal affairs are" looked upon by the
people as their own personal and fin-
ancial affairs. They - want good
and.' 'Progressive government, good
health and social conditions, modern
municipal and educational facilities,_
but they wait it at a price well wit-K-
in
i h-
in their means, because they are well
-_--.__aware that they themselves have to
pay for these things -out of their own
. pockets.
Why it should be any different.'
-with Dominion or' Provincial Gov-
ernment's is very hard to understand.
But, nevertheless,with these the
viewpoin-t is, too often, thevery op-
posite. Even those who are . practi-
cal hard-headed ratepayers, where
municipal , affairs are concerned,
-seem to think that Federal and 'Pro -
i inial Governments make their own
money, and, consequently, can spend
it or give it away as they please.
That is no more true in Federal
than it_ is with municipal finances.
But it is, nevertheless, a widely held,
if not a general delusion. 'The man
who promises the most gets the
strongest support at a Federal or
Provincial election, and the govern-
ment that promises a free Utopia—
and there is no such thing—often
stands the best chance of attaining
, power.
As a promiser, the C.C.F. party
has •no . political. superior In fact
has no political equal. And it is
w , ,,„„,their promise to make Canada a
- Utopia under socialistic conditions,
that has given them their present

Neal Spending
When it comes; to spending money,
the United States is in a 'class all .by
itself. No other Nation can even
approach it. But a good part of that
money was "and is 'being spent in the
cause of freedom, both in. World
War 1 and the present conflict.
By midnight on Friday last the
United States Government had spent
more money _in, the 365 da,rs of 1943
.than it did In ail , the first 150 years
• of the nation's existence:
Of the 1943 total expenditure of
,000,000,000, the war cost over.
$82,000,000,000, or roughly $22000;-
000
225,000;000 every twenty-four hours.
From the time 'the U.S. Treasury
was established in 1789, through to
June 30, 1926, the aggregate govern-
ment expenditures amounted to $87,-
300,000,000, while up to December
31st they totalled $247,200,000,000,
or less than three times the amount
.-sPent in , this, their second year of
total war.
During the first world war, the
costliest period for the United
States was the 1918-19 fiscal year,
when the ,.government paid out $18,-
500,000,000.
The average daily spend-
ing during 1943 was some $21,000,000
greater than the 'total amount spent
in the period 1789-1812.
_ But this,UYear's record spending—
nearly $32,000,000,000 above that of
1942, saw a new record of federal in-
come too. Of the $34,500,000,000
that went into Uncle Sam's till, the
$31,900,000,000 which came frond
taxes, is more than double last year's
$16,400,000,000 and includes $3,500,-
000,000 taken directly from pay
eheques_ during the first six months
of pay-as-you-go ooieration. Also
the 1943 receipts were $3,500,000,000
above the official government. expec-
tations. ,
War spending which was at a rate
of less than six billion dollars a
month last January, touched a peak
of over seven and a half billion dol-
lars in November, and it is expected
they will mount with the New, Year.
The United States certainly knows
how to spend money, but it must al-
so
be said th t the men of their ,fight-
ing forces, on the maintenance of.
which the bulk..of the money is being
spent, certainly know how to fight.

Giving •A. 'Helping Hand
Despite the fact that war condi-
tions in Britain have made the hous-
ing situation a nightmare, taxes
mountainous. and even the securing
of food and clothing a serious prob-
1 len, no people on earth have shown
a keener disposition to take it with
a senile or more ready to lend a help-
ing hand when misfortune struck a
neighbor.
Just recently a block of flats inn the
centre of Glasgow caught fire, and a
family of five, who had just moved
into one of them, lost all their pos-
sessions, and, without. any insurance.
That put the family in a real predica-
ment.
But the Almoner of a local War
Relief Committee soon after appear-
ed on the scene and was able to give
immediate assistance in the way of
clothing and other necessities. Then
a street collection . was taken up
which enabled the family to receive
a little ready money.
Several days later another home
was secured nearby. A fact that was
most unusual considering the great--
housing
reat -housing shortage in Glasgow at the
present time. • `
Soon after the family was 'estab-
' lisped in their new home a stranger
called and said she had' lf'eard of their
misfortune aid had looked about her
home to see what she could spare..
She handed the` woman of the house
a bundle which contained, among •
other things, new sheets, not even
outof their original 'wrappin:gs.
i .. Then, handing over stillanother
package which contained a silver tea
set,she remarked, "You must have

to the telephone unless our three
longs and two shorts happen- to Come
in. In time we'll get so that we won't'
pay the least bit of attention to the

-I'm also going to stop talking about
my neighbors. After all, Neighbor
Higgins has a perfeot right to spoil

cause he gives them too much spend-

reason for me to 'repeat it. If Jimmy
Jansen comes home singing at three

because the gang around the stove in

interest* facts: "Because of
their association with diseases of

People look upon `bacteria as being
extremely objectionable. Actually the
good they do • far outweighs . their
harmful activities. Without bacteria

atmospheric nitrogen available to

Bacterial activity is utilized in the
production of an endless variety • of
food products as well as the prodnc-
-tion of textiles, tobacco and many or-
ganic. compounds. Without 'tiacterth

Dr. G. I McRostie,- head of the

following valuable and timely infor-
mation on this subject of wide inter-
est. "The production -objectives for
1944 as agreed on at the Dominion -
Provincial agricultural conference in-
dicate an increased requirement of
practically all types of farm crops be-
ing produced in the Province of On-

regard to some of the annual cereal
crop's, The unfavorable season of
1943 has increased the difficulty of
meeting the pew objectives because
of the fact that good Seed of a num_...
ber of our cereal crops is definitely
scarce. This is especially true of

fev7er eggs can only be secured where
vigorous well-fed breeders are used in
the breeding pens," Said Prof. E. S.
Snyder, of the poultry department,
Ontario Agricultural 'College. "A
well balanced breeder mash properly
fortified with the necessary vitamins,
A, D and Riboflavin, and minerals
such as ma.ng :nese is essential to en-
able such stock todo its best, Such
a breeder mash should be fed for at
least one month before eggs are to
be saved for hatching purposes. With
present shortages of high quality pro'=
tein and vitamin carrying feeds and
the higher priees of such feeds as
milk and liver meal, the ordinary lay-
ing mash is eat suitable for the pro-
duction of thatching eggs. Suitable
breeder mash formulae for `both con-
centrales and complete mashes have
been develi ped by the Ontario Agri-
cultural College poultry department.
These are available to producers and
commercial firms alike.

balanced feeds are. , imperative. A good
