Authorized as Second Claes Mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa. SEAFORTII, Friday, August 9, 1946 Pretty Good AdviCe There is a world of advice contain- ed in a recent editorial of the Petrolia Advertiser -Topic. And pret-,. ty good advice it was too, for .this world of today: - "Someone should take the young- sters who- are growing up into their first jobs to a quiet corner for a few words on the subject of thrift as re- lated to today's high salaries. They might be dropped a hint, too, that there is just a slight chance these lush days won'tlast forever. Young men and women, some still in their teens, are walking into well-paid jobs that would have made the eyes of job applicants in the 30's pop\ Ikut of their sockets. Almost everyohe with a high school education is snap- ped up with a swiftness that may lull them into false secudity." That is all true. There ate boys and girls, still in their teens, many of them making anywhere from fifty cents to a dollar an hour, and -for as many hours as they wish to work. And they are accepting it as a mat- ter of course. As a matter of fact, many of them are making as much in a day as their parents made in a week, and possibly as their grand- parents made in a month. That is all right too, if they, put that money to as good a use as their parents --andgrandparents did in their day. This: County of. Huron, and there is no better in Canada, . owes its- present prosperity' to the, work and thrift of former genera- tions in large measure. To the men who hewed out farms from the bush, -and to the women who shared their joys and sOrrows, who trained their large families and taught them work and thrift. ` The teen-age youth of today should take a backward look at the !won- ders these pioneers performed with a fraction only of the money at their command. To learn what work and thrift will do for one and for one's future safety and welfare. But will they? There are some, of course, who will, who are now saving for the future, but it must be admitted that by far the greater majority are just spending as they make it, and too many others who will -only work the necessary -hours to supply themselves with spending money. As the Petrolia paper' says, there bave been other days. And there will be other days again, when neither work- nor money will be as plentiful as they are today. Nothing -is surer than that. But now, and no other me, is the time to prepare for those other days. Teen-agers and youth of both sexes will inevItably learn that some day. It *ould be just as easy, and a great deal more pro- fitable, to learn it today. • Labor Majority Dropping There are no indications as yet that the British people are seriously considering the ousting of the pres- ent Labor government and replacing it by a Conservative government. I But Great Britain's Labor govern- ' ment and Prime Minister Attlee are finding out, as many a government , has done before; that the height of its popularity was on the day it was elected. And, in the face of the grim times Which that country is. facing, it *mild be something of a miracle if a government of any kind could hold all et t suppor ers. Proof of this is shown in some re- cent by-elections in that country. In --the—Xent County riding of 13exley, -Wihich the Labor candidate:carried in the general election last summer by a Majority of 6,000 over his combin- ed tonservathe and Liberal oppon- -ents, dropped to well under 2,000 --in .4..straight fight with a Conservative eartdidate, And other- by-elections lave-resUlte in a similar drop in 1,Jabor suPporters majorities, 1 otcOurse, make lit- 't�tho. dOniti4nding majority that the Labor gO.V.ernment holds in the House of Cominens,•but it shows a considerable loss in popu- lar esteem throughout the •country, which after all, is notsurprising, considering commodity scarcities and bread and other rationing. Nor is there Any indication as yet that the people of the British. Isles are considering the replacement , of the Labor Government by a Con- servative one, and there is no other political party large enough or strong enough at the present time from which to make a second choice. • THE - eeeeeee-771.----eeeeee'eeeeeeeeTeeri'eeeeee"-"eee'ver" • t •••• ,•• , • 77;t 1 •••'•'L, ' • , " • 7.7 More Parking Troubles .° The Harriston Review of last weet has this to' say about the parking situation in that northern town, and it is pretty much the same situation that every small,town is,facing these days. "Parking on Main Street is very bad at times. The worst trouble is with trucks unloading. On 'Friday there were three trucks, one in front of the other opposite the Shell Gar- age, and another truck, a large one, parked further out on the roadway beside these trucks. This left only a very narrow roadway to pass. Cars coming in either direction were bad- ly handicapped to see one another approaching." But Harriston is only one town of many that will have to clear up the traffic jams caused by unloading -transport trucks. In' this town on Saturday night, parked -cars and un- loading trucks had Main Street en- tirely cut off from the highway for some minutes. There is no necessity for such a situation, and there is no sense in the authorities of these towns waiting until a serious or perhaps a fatal ac- cident results from a thick traffic congestion. There have alreaily been many minor, affairs and many tem- pers have flared because of the ob- structions caused. Nothing serious, perhaps, but there is a time limit, and time is running out fast. • Killing The Isolationists A good many Canadians will agree with and welcome the conclusion' of the New York Times that isolation- ism is fast fading in that country and the politicians who have been using it as a lever to power and posi- tion are one by one meeting their fate at the hands of the electors. The Times says that the primaries now being held throughout that country ,for the selection of candi- dates for election to- Congress this fall, are producing some interesting and enlightening results. Some pf the most interesting in recent weeks have been the rejection of Senator Wheeler by the Democrats in Mon- tanan, and Senator Shipstead by the Republican party voters in Minneso- ta. Both these Senators are familiar, by name t least, to the majority of Canadians, who havealways looked upon them as two of the most out- standing isolationists in the United States. And The Times considers their rejection, one of each party by their respective primaries, in the face of their long career in -the Senate, as abundant evidence that the voters in Montana and Minnesota, at least, are turning thumbs down on isolation- ism. Similar action is also being fol - 'lowed by primaries in other States of the Union. • Quite Satisfied Aristippus, witty pupil of Socrates, went to the Emperor Dionysius and asked for some money. "What!, You want money, Aristip- pus ?" exclaimed the sovereign. "Why • you philosophers have always taught that a wise man never wants any- thing." "Never mind. talking about phil- osophy now," rejoined Aristippus. "You let me have the money and we will talk about philosophy after- wards." • „ "Very well, here it is' said Dionysius, handing 'him fifty drach- mas. • "All right," said Aristippus, as he counted the money. "Now, you see, I don't want anything. Good morn- ing, Dionysisue It is really too bad that the gov- ernment coUldn't Satisfy so cheaply the demands and requests of our woUldLbe-philosphers, theorists, and what -have -you" • '•;.'"''...

Yet it is clear from the commission evidence, and from other sources, that the practice was never drbpped. Some Canadians who • fought in Spain were relieved of their passports by Communist agents there. So were the American volunteers.

Because of the machinations of the Comin- tern, Russians .eravelling abroad on Russiati paseports would be suspect- ed: But a Russian agent travelling on a Canadian passport, could get to Los Angeles and attend a university there for five years or more without raising the slightest suspicion. That was precisely what the agent travel -- ling on the' Canadian passport did, But last November; before the ex, istence of the spy ring was known in Canada, this agent was warned. He disappeared last April. His wife and child also decam-ped and none has been heard of since. The question that now concerns Canada is this: If one, how many more? , No one can even guess, but the number probably runs into the hun- dreds. With a Coinmugst party of 20,000 mem-bers in existence in Can- ada a great pool of potential pass- ports is established. There ie noth- ing Io stop anyohe from acquiring a passport, and handing it over -to the party for transmission' to Russia. Nothing, that. is, save the laws of the Jeweler welch the party..has nev- er shown too much. respect. • The Communist Morality On this point, and on. the whole question of Communist morality, there is striking evidence in the commis - seen report. When Sam ' Carr and Fred lebee were released from- intern-. mene in 1942, both signed declaratioes under oath that they would have noth- ing to de with 'the Communist party or kindred organizations or agitations for the duration. Both immediately got in tenet with the Russian 'espionage agents and went to work recruiting spies -for the Russian government. . , a era Reopens Dente! rractice" Dr. J. W.
