We're waiting for the green light. When telephone men and materials are back again, we'll resume our rural expansion program where we left off. First job of all will be to supply service to families on our waiting list. Theii will coive such major projects as extending facilities into new areas; replacing "veteran" equipment; raising standards of service. Simply to relieve present crowding on rural lines will mean running more than 8,000 miles of wire from present pole lines. Then we'll need extensions to the pole lines themselves—some 2,500 miles of them—to reach additional communities. Wherever we find one family per half mile of main road wanting telephones, we 'plan to construct pole lines to serve them. It all means PEOPLE AT WORK . • • work which must be done, if telephone service is to keep pace with rural needs.' It is work which calls for the efforts of linemen, service men, operators, office workers. To get it done, we'll need not. only every present Bell employee, plus all, those now away on military service, but many more workers besides.

Dear Sir:— SOCIAL SUICIDE Copies of a periodical bearing the above terrifying title have been hand- fed out, gratis, to all approaching the counter of the Wingliam Post Office within the last few days, At the top left hand corner of this daring document is posted, within a small circlet, its selling price, 10 cents. Evidently it was intended that this "thing" would be marketed as merch- andise and sold, although it is now given away in Wingham, perhaps be- cause no one would willingly or trust- fully expend a dime on its purchase. The question arises, "Why is it be- ing given away?" One could make several guesses as to the proper ans- wer, and under the mystifying circum- stances surrounding its circulation, any of them might do. However, all those with whom I have conflabed are agreed as to the proper answer and have proclaimed it without the slight- est hesitation with no effort whatever. The puzzling thing about it is that in some localities it is being given away and in others, sold at its advertised price. In this respect, I, myself do not ``'We write insurance to cover selected risks in Automobile, Fire Personal Property Floater, Burglary, Plate Glass, and other general insurance.

Manifestly it is a piece of Progres- sive Conservative propaganda, directed against the CCF program, or rather, what the writer very mistakingly imagines (I refrain from saying, "be- lieves") that program really is. All who have studied that program in its entirety readily realize the strawman or bogey-man pictured and postured as a photograph of the CCF program by this sapient writer is a caricature emanating from the malicious mind of a vile and dirty pen man, The CCF does not object to its pro- gram being critized, fairly and honest- ly, but it takes a natural and alto- gether wholesome umbrage when caricature runs unrestrainedly and rampantly athwart its composition as it has done in the instance I am re- ferring to. Why should this particularly frothy fragment of propaganda be used and money thrown away on its distribu- tion. I can only assume that the scarcity of good material is as acute as -the paucity of convincing scribe writer is, owing to the fact that the conservative creed is, in these times unworthy of any reasonable champion- ship.
