The Huron Temperance Pedena-
tion does not want the people of
Huron to forget that the Canada
Temperance Act, which is ill, force
in Huron, Perth and Peel Counties,
is the soundiest legislation in the
interest of temperance and aobri-
ety that has yet been devised, for
it prohibits the public sale of in-
toxicants. There may be a mea-
sure of leakage under this ban, out
that is as nothing compared with
the flood that public sales through
many outlets releases --ands it is
the flood that does the damage. -

MOURNFUL
BEGINNINGS
(By Joseph Lister Rutledge)
Victor Hugo, looking out of his
Paris eind,ow in the crowds be-
hind the barricades screaming for
government and justice, s•coffed:
"These are not the people - these
are only the mournful "beginnings
of the people." "
We ourselves have come to be-
lieve that our business in the state
is largely .a matter of continual de-
manding. We want -some force to
undertake the nebulous movements
that we call human, forward-look-
ing, constructive. We want every-'
one to have a better start and we
are content when government re-
sponds with the easy cure-all of
Family Allowances. We are vague-
ly disturbed about our financial
situation and declining foreign
trade, hut we accept the remedy of
federal control of exchange and
distribution; and added subsidies.
We want an equalizing of rewards
and get instead taxation that lim-
its incentive and strangles effort.
We think, of world government or
the abolition of war and gladly'
turn over our worries, to govern-
ment groups and committees of
study.
There is much in our demands.
They are often generous, well-in-
tentioned and forward-looking. But
they are just "mournful begin-
nings" of thinking, as we are of
people. We have a vast credulous-
ness, and with it a measureless
wealth of latent capacity. The
capacity we stifle, the credulous-
ness tells us that someone other
than ourselves will "take life for-
ward." We have an absurd and
thoughtless confidence in the good'
will, sense and devotion of the
men in whom we have vested the
power to put reforms into opera-
tion. We don't approve of them
when they touch ourselves, but we
hopefully expect miracles of broad-
minded altruism on matters more
distantly personal. But the lesson
of all history is that power is nev-
er so used. We cannot hope for it
now. The best we can hope is
that, as individuals, we will share
that power; that we will invest our
indiv' ual strength and, integrity
in h•o informing ourselves,
and assume our ownmeasure of re-
sponsibility rather than bridge it to
some committee or group or gov-
ernment. The people's representa-
tices in parliament are the mirror
of the people themselves. Society
has never been better than the
quality of the units that compose
it. If we remain the "mournful
beginnings" of people we cannot
hope that our government can pro-
vide more than the "mournful be-
ginnings" of our high end gener-
ous hopes.
Liberty is never the first concern
of government. It is in the charge
of the people from whom govern,
ments spring. It Is not a lasting
and inalienable endowment. As
Justice Frankfurter of the United
States Supreme Court has said of
it: "This heritage is always en-
dangered by inertia and complac-
ency, by timidity and reluctance
to keep abreast of the needs of a
progressive society. This is a
graver challenge than any from
without."

Farmers Prove Good Borrowers
The annual report of the fian'a•
dian Farm Loan Board for the year
ended March 31, 1949, has just
been issued- The Board is a •Domin
ion Government agency ',laking;
mortgage loans to farmers and bas:
been in operation for over twenty
years.
The report shows that duringi
the year $4,919,300 ,was' approved;
for loans. This is tan increase oE?
42 per cent over • the previous year
and is the largest .annual volume
of business .transacted by the
Board in the last twelve years.
Since 1929 the Board has lent over'
$65,000,000 to Canadian farmers
and its current investment in Yarm
mortgages exceeds, $24,000,.000. The
general economic condition of the
farming community is reflected in
the fast that approximately 96 per
cent of all .first' mortgage borrow-
ers from the Board had no interest
arrears at the end of the fiscel
year. Interest arrears at Mar h
31, 1949, equalled only 0.217 per
cent of principal outstanding, be-
ing the lowest • •percentage of in-
terest arrears to principal in the
Board's history.
Board officials state that there is
a noticeable trend toward larger
farms, particularly in the Prairie
Provinces, and that over one-third
of the money being borrowed is be-
ing. used to buy farms• or addition-
al farm land. They also say that
a. good proportion of current bor-
rowing is for the purchase of live-
stock and implements and to make
rrm •improvements in contrast to
the situation a few years ago when
much of the money borrowed' was
used to pay accumulated debts,.
