Something for Nothing
A former well-known resident of
Rullett Township, who is now living
retired, was in the office a few weeks
ago discussing the cost of living. For
many years active in municipal mat-
ters and a keen student of human
nature, he told us it wasn't the cost
of things today that was the trouble.
At the root of high prices, he said,
was the fact that the average indi-
vidual wants something for nothing.
By that he meant, he went on to ex-
plain, the tendency today was to
work less, but at the same time, to
demand more.
Improved standards of living and
all the conveniences and luxuries
that go with better living, are all
right, he continued, but we must re-
alize we can't have them and the
necessities too, unless everybody pro-
duces a little more.
We were reminded of the conver-
sation when we read recently in the
Rural Scene the following: "Will
some. expert in merry - go - round
(cyclical) budgeting tell the trusting
people how they can increase con-
sumption, increase taxes and tax re-
aiates to taxpayers, reduce inflation
and provide for the economic waste
of defence without working a little
harder and a little longer to produce
store per person per year?
"The stark realities of war and de-
fence require us to take the unreality
out of production, consumption and
taxation. The fun of fooling our-
selves costs more than we can af-
ford."

Dogs and Gardens
The approach of Spring brings
with it the urge to plant gardens
and to prepare flower beds and
lawns. And at the same time it rais-
es in the minds of the gardeners the
problem of the dogs that this year,
as in other years, will cause damage
to the carefully planted gardens.
Already the problem has been the
subject of numerous letters in the
daily press, and probably it won't be
many weeks before the town council
will hold its annual debate on the
matter.
One suggestion—admittedly rather
expensive for the average house-
holder—is advanced by a correspond-
ent recently arrived from England:
"When I came over from England
a few years ago I was surprised to
find that gardens, some of them very
beautiful, were unprotected from an-
imals and children—the latter some-
times being the worst offenders at
ruining a garden by ruthlessly pluck-
ing up and throwing away flowers,
when they think no one is watching.
Our gardens in England were always
surrounded by walls or fences. Sure-
ly if people are willing to spend time,
money and energy e gy in beautifying
their gardens, they can go one step
further, and see that they are prop-
erly enclosed, so as to ensure them
from four -legged and two -legged
marauders. Pets are a great source
of pleasure, especially when they are
properly trained, and it is the own-
' ers of the dogs that should be
brought to task if they allow their
pets to become a nuisance."

The Judiciary and Democracy
One of Canada's eminent jurists in
a recent address emphasized the role
played by the judiciary in the preser-
1 ation of the precious freedoms of
Ake
way of life. Mr.
Ake ]hand, member of the
ene Court of Canada and cre-
Oft the fan oust Rand Formula,.
3.
in his address touched on most of
the basic rights and freedoms evolv-
ed by'a democratic society.
The occasion was the first lecture
in Canada under the Sidney Hillman
Foundation, an organization set up
by the amalgamated clothing work-
ers of America, in honor of their late
president.
Mr. Justice Rand's remarks laid
stress on and served to- recall to in-
dividual citizens the fundamental
freedoms inherent in a democracy.
Re pointed out that the basic rights
and freedoms of our way of life—
perquisites like habeas corpus, free
speech, press, assembly and the free-
dom of worship—were the manifes-
tations of man's striving to be clear
of oppression. These provisions, he
said, constitute man's highest attain-
ments in constitutional establish-
ment
The difficulties of resisting pres-
sures be they of a personal nature,
or those that originate out of social
or economic groups, were such that
only by the exhibition of the utmost
courage could the freedoms be main-
tained. Surrender to popular pres-
sures could only result in the surren-
der of hard-earned freedoms.
"Against popular clamor, against
any sort of subserviency to that clam-
or or the betrayal from any quarter
of our inheritance, against the ar-
rogance and insolence of power of
whatever nature or from whatever
source, the courts must shield the in-
dividual with all the safeguards the
centuries have accumulated.
"What must be unceasingly affirm-
ed is that the courts in the ascertain-
ment of truth and the application of
laws are the special guardians of the
freedoms of unpopular causes, or
minority groups and the interests of
the individual against the mass, of
the weak againstthe powerful, of
the unique, of - the non -conformist.
Our liberties are largely the accom-
plishment of such men."
Justice, of course, can never be
perfect because man himself is not
perfect. It can be a source of great
satisfaction, however, to all Cana-
dians, that despite deficiencies our
judicial administration has within it
men who recognize the role the judic-
iary occupies in a democracy, and
who have the courage to resist the
pressures that if allowed to go their
way unchecked, mitrht well result in
the loss of the rights and freedoms
of the individual.
What Other Papers Say:
New', Teeth For Old
(The Ottawa Journal)
In New York—anything can hap-
pen in New York—scientists have
made a successful transfer of perm-
anent teeth from one young cat to
another. As usual this experiment
is followed with protestations that a
great deal of work has to be done be-
fore humans can expect to benefit
from a similar procedure.
From the strictly unscientific view-
point we think this experiment a
waste of time. Men and cats, we feel
safe in saying, want their teeth, and
any ivories dragged unwillingly from
their mouths are not the sort of dis-
cards anyone, even the most batter-
ed tom -cat, would want to take over
second-hand.
Even in these benevolent times we
find it hard to imagine anyone giv-
ing away his treasured—and healthy
—teeth; yet how are we to get them
unless from some other human? We
can foresee the ultimate appeal to
friendship: "Joe, old-timer, you've
got 20 teeth and I have only five ; how
about giving me a couple of good
'uns ?"
Assuming scientific detachment we
must attempt to assess the public re-
action to suggestions that natural
teeth be taken from the newly -dead.
The unavoidable conclusion must be
that most people would prefer to con-
tinue their support of the false -teeth
industry.
The money being squandered on
the unwilling cats, we suggest, might
better be appropriated for develop-
ing painless dental drills. Even bet-
ter, it might be put to use in studying
the human reaction to the dentist;
with enough funds we might so alter
our mental processes that the den-
tist's waiting room would in future
be referred to as the House of Ten
Thousand Joys,

200 Years of History
(By F. B. W., in The Winnipeg Free Press)
The announcement that the Pub-
ic Archives of Canada and the
Hudson's Bay Company have un-
dertaken jointly the microfilming of
more than 200 years of the Com-
pany's records is of ,special interest
to the historian. These are the
root origins of the history of west-
ern and northern Canada. With-
out them our knowledge must in-
evitably be limited and inconclu-
sive. But the vision of erudition
and scholarship such a project can-
'ures up should not blind us to the
warm and human source of the
documents which, cooled by the
passage of time, now have taken
on the dignity of history.
It is not the historian alone
however who will find delight in
the thousands of bound volumes
and portfolios of loose pages
which make up the tons of mater-
ial in the archices. The Gover-
nors in London were not only con-
cerned about their investment,
though they rightly enough wor-
ried about this, they were also in-
tensely curious about the strange
lands in which the Company serv-
ants worked. Nor were the latter,
dour and independent as they often
seem to have been, solely concern-
ed with the trade which was the
basis of their existence,
The correspondence books are
full of delightful details. Govern-
or Nixon is strictly enjoined, in
1680, "to have publick prayers
and reading of the Scriptures"
wherever the shall be resident,
and "to order the severall chiefs
in each Factory under your com-
mand to• do the same, That wee
may not appear more barbarous
than the poor Heathens them-
selves."
From the very beginning there
was constant urging from London
that more food should be grown loc
ally to reduce the need for import-
ed meats and flour from. Britain.
Thomas Gore's Journal for March
31, 1671, notes, "Wee sowd Peas
and Mustardseed which came up
well enough for ye time we stayed
there (Rupert River) and no doubt
but all sorts of rootes would have
grown very well if Wee had been
furnished with seed- Wee kept
theire some hens and hoggs which
lived and did well enough."
Ten years later, London is warn-
ing Governor Nixon that "severall
sorts of seed's" have been forward-
ed to him and recommending that
"Upon Hayes Island where our
grand Factory is you may propa-
gate swine without much difficul-
ty, wetly is an excellent flesh." The
records show that radishes, lettuce,
cabbage and turnips, as well as
peas and mustard, were all grown
in the brief summer of three or
four months.
In 1682 the Governor and Com-
mittee are writing to Nixon
again, urging him to use leniency
and forbearance in his dealings
with the Indians: "Wee must let
you know wee had complaints
from most of our Servants that
you have carried your self with too
much inhumanity and cruelty to-
wards the Natives," though it is
worthp-of record that in the first
70 years of trading—the most dan-
gerous period—not a single white
man was killed.
In the course of their busy and
hard life, and how hard it was one
can glimpse in bleak references in
the journals, the Company servants
found time to send home geologic-
al, botanical and zoological speci-
mens. The link between the Com-
pany and the Royal Society in Eng-
land persisted over the years. Two
of the Society's original members
were members of the London Com-
mittee — one of them Sir Chris-
topher Wren—and there is an in-
teresting sidelight in the London
office records "That such shutters,
bolts and locks be made to the
Warehouse as Sr. Chris. Wren shall
judg fitt to be done." Even while
he was supervising the building of
St. Paul's the great man could con-
cern himself with .the Company
warehouse!"
Thomas Hutchins won a gold
medal for his experiments while
resident at Fort Albany' during the
Period 1775-9. Isham and Graham,
as well as Hutchins, contributed to
the Society records full details con-
cerning the customs of various In-
dian tribes and studies of birds,
animals, insects and vegetation:
The Company even played host
to two astronomers sent to Fort
Prince of Wales to observe the
transit of Venus on June 3, 1769,
and the instructions to Moses Nor-
ton, "Chief" at Churchill, directed
him that "Their Diet at. the Factory
was proposed to be at the Second
Table, but as We have placed them
at Capt. Richards Table in their
passage out, and have made con-
siderable additions in the articles
of Wine, etc., for their better ac-
commodation, We hope you will
countenance them 'by Dieting with
the Chief at Our Factory."
These are lighter items in a long
story-, microfilm copies of which
will be deposited in Ottawa. One
should remember as well the as-
tonishing record of peaceful co-op-
eration with the Indians; the bit-
ter struggle against "the common
enemies of all mankind, the
French;" the series of letters deal-
ing with the strife between the
Lord Selkirk settlers and the North
West Company; the accounts of
good years and bad, summed up in
the plaintive plea in 1682 that "all
Stratagems ought to be used for
advancement of the Compass. In-
terest, whose expenses are con-
stantly so great, and no profits
hitherto."
The first task will be to micro-
film the documents to 1870. It will
be many years before it is com-
pleted but meanwhile there lies
ahead for Canadians through the
research of the scholar and the his-
torian the pleasure of a long look
at their own history. Year after
year, stiff. practical men and some
like Hearne, of striking literary
ability, labored in the wilderness,
reading instructions from home and
composing their daily pournals.
These are their stories and what
they did and how they did it is
part of the Canadian heritage.
(By Gordon M. Greig)
The amendments to the Farm
Products Marketing Act that were
requested by the Ontario Federa-
tion of Agriculture on behalf of the
many farm commodity group organ-
izations has 'apparently aroused
considerable opposition from mem-
berds of the grain trade, particular-
ly those handling wheat.
The section of the act that was
most strongly opposed was the
clause that would permit pooling.
They also opposed the clause that
would give marketing boards pow-
er to own land and property. The
elevator owners seemed to feel
that the pooling clause was direct-
ed against them and would even-
tually lead to their financial em-
barrassment.
At no time' has the wheat pro-
ducers' organization had a n y
thought of interrupting the present
system of marketing wheat, provid-
ing the producer received his cost
of production, plus a fair profit, or
an alternative of storing his grain
until such time as he considered
the price to be satisfactory. This
year farmers that stored their
wheat have been well paid for their
efforts. The price at harvest, time
was $1.50 as offered by the buy-
ers. It is now $2.20, or better.
That is an increase of around 70c
per bushel that the farther receives
for his efforts. If producers are
aid a reasonable price for their
produce the buyers need not be un-
duly worried about what action
might be taken under the Ontario
Farm Products Marketing Act.
Producers should be permitted, to
pool any product they wish to.
They produce it; they own it, and
they should have the right to de-
cide whether pooling is desired or
not.
The owning of property by a
Marketing Board should not cause
undue concern to anyone who is op-
erating a business, unless he is
concerned lest the producer and
the consumer find out how much
profit, if any, is made on the hand-
ling of our foodstuff. A,s long as
the present services are adequate
there is very little likelihood of
producer organizations going into
business against the already well -
organized trade.
The stand taken by some our
Federal Members of Parliament, re-
presenting Western Ontario rid-
ings, would indicate a very great
need for a strong Ontario wheat
producer organization. We produc-
ed Wheat for food during the
war and post-war years the same
our Western Canadian farmers
did. We are not receiving any of
the $65,000.00 bonus payment now
being made. We have no strong
producer organization to exert
pressure to see that our producers
receive their share of such bonus
payments.
You now have a Provisional
Wheat Producers' Committee for
the Province of Ontario. This year
at the annual meeting being held
in May you producers are urged to
support the action of your Provi-
sional Executive and back them up
in establishing a strong producer
organization for this Province,
In a news letter from the Cana-
dian Federation of Agriculture we
find some interesting information
on subsidies. It is a common prac-
tice today to think of subsidies on-
ly in terms of applying to farm pro-
duce. Many city people seem to
think that they are paying heavy
taxes to subsidize the farmer for
producing the food that they must
buy. The letter .points out that
tariff protection for Canadian in-
dustry has cost the people of Can-
ada something close to three billion
dollars in the past twenty years.
Canada's gold industry employs on-
ly 23,000 people, yet in 1949 that
industry was subsidized to the et -
tent of over three million dollars.
During that same period, thirty-
eight of the largest gold mines
made a net profit of sixteen million
dollars. This subsidy was in force
for a three-year period, and is like-
ly to be renewed.
The subsidy on coal movement
in 1949 amounted to nearly four
million dollars and on steel and
iron shipments over four and a half
million dollars. When the subsidy
on feed grains is discussed you
would think to hear the critics talk
it was the only subsidy of its kind
being paid.
In Great Britain, heavy subsidies
are paid to agriculture. A grant is
made to cover 40% of the cost of
installing a water system in farm
buildings and a farm home; 50% of
the cost of providing a dwelling
for farm owners is made by the
British Government. If such a sys-
tem were in effect in Canada we
would find more farms occupied
and better living accommodation
on the farms that are already oc-
cupied.
