Rev, D. Leslie Elder, First
Presbyterian Church, Sonforth
"Rise up, 0 men of God!
Have done with lesser things;
Give heart and soul and mind and
strength
To serve the King of .lcings."
In selecting the hymns for our
service on Father's Day these
words came to mind and sUggest-
ing the text " .. quit ye like men,
be strong." (I Cor. 16:13) my mind
ranged along these lines. As Chris-
tians, or Christ's men there are
three things we ought to be pre-
pared to do.
1, MEASURE UP. That is, to
measure our lives alongside that
of Jesus Christ. See to it that we
have heard and, obeyed His call,
and that and the devotion and
obedience He requires is not de-
nied
2. MUSTER, UP. By this I have
in mind identification with the
Church, of whatever persuasion is
our choice and conviction. In this
• way, our own lives will be streng-
thened and enriched, the Church
will be stronger and it will be pos-
sible to accomplish so much more
for Christ and His kingdom,
3. MD4T UP, And whether we
wish it or not, this we will have
to do, meet up with the enemy of
our Souls, Satan, We will be ea-
ed to do so in so many different
ways, and, in many unlikely places,
and miller so waded circumstances.
For this we must prepare. Let us
not fear, but looking to Christ and
depending, on His strength, may
every erisagement leave us on the
victory side with our faith vindi-
cated and our trust in the power
of our Lord and Saviour deepened
and extended,
"Lift high the cross of Christ!
Tread where His feet have trod;
As brothers of the Son of Man
Rise up, 0 men of God!"

THE STORY OF
THE TOMATO
The tomato was cultivated in
Mexico and Peru for many centu-
ries prior to the advent of the
Spaniards. The Indians cultivated
it on their floating gardens and
called it tomatl.
It was shipped to Spain, where
it received scant attention.
A. visiting Moor carried seeds to
Morocco, where it became very
popular and soon was grown every-
where.
An Italian sailor took some of
the fruit to Italy where it became
popular and was known as, "the
Moor's- apple", or pomo dei Mori.
When it reached France from
Italy,the French used the Italian
phonetici to call it pomme d'amour
or love apple.•
The plant had reached England
from France by- the middle of the

Councillor Nasmith's brief on
the sewage disposal problem in
Wingham represents not only a
great deal of studious investigation,
but an honest facing of the facts, in
our own, community.
We .qall recall that ten years ago
the council was discussing the same
problem because the Ontario govern-
ment had issued strict instructions.
that action had to commence "at
once."
There is no disguising the fact
that a sewage disposal plant would
throw an added burden on the tax-
payers. It was for this very reason
that the brief presented to council
cautioned against any hasty decis-
. ions. However, we are all pretty sure
that \\Ingham is just about the best
place in the world to live . . . and if
we want to convince others we will
certainly have to be prepared to pay
for the necessary improvements. In-
CANADA'S CENSUS ,
This is the month of tenth decen-
nial census of Canada, just six years
before the one hundredth annivers-
ary of Confederation. Most citizens
are being asked about fifty questions
by the census officials. Twenty-six
questions are asked about the people
in your family; other questions deal
with housing, salaries, investments,
etc.
The honor of taking the first cen-
sus, in the modern meaning of the
term belongs to Canada: It was in
1666 that Jean Talon, the'Intendant
of New France, took an official cen-
sus of the colony to measure the in-
crease in population that had taken
place since the founding of Quebec
by Chaplain in 1608. Talon's enumer-
ation, recording a total of 3,215 per-
sons, included the name, age, sex,
marital status and occupation of
,every person.
Canada's rate of natural increase
—that is, the excess of births over
deaths—is among the highest in the
world. In 1958 our rate was 19.7 per
1,000 population compared with 14.8
for the United States and 4.7 for
England and Wales. In every year
since 1951 our rate has exceeded 19
per 1,000 population.
In the eight years 1952 to 1959 in-
clusive, a baby was born in Canada
every seventy and one-half seconds.
The average was 446,226 a year.
The Royal Commission on Can-
ada's Economic prospects estimated
that in 1980 Canada's population
will total 27 million, an increase of
70 percent -over the figure for 19.55.
BIG ,FLIP SEEN .IN
POWER POLICY
A major flip flop in national
energy policy is likely soon, says
Leslie Wilson in The financial Post.
Since World War I, a succession of
Canadian governments has resisted
all suggeitions that this country ex-
port substantial quantities of elec-
tricity.
The Diefenbaker government is
now facing two pressures for a
switch in policy. In a substantial
study now in the government's
hands, the National Energy Board
has recommended that the present
policy be reconsidered. Substantial
exports of interruptible power would
reduce energy costs on both sides of
the border. the NEB says. The pos-
sibility of exports of Columbia
power, or at least of leaving some
of the Canadian share of down-
stream Columbia benefits in the U.S.
for specified periods, has entered the
Ottawa-Victoria talks on the Col-
umbia.

most neighboring towns, where the
vastly more expensive program of

NOT SO BRIGHT
Until the last two or three years
very few young people felt any rea-
son to be concerned in the slightest
degree about employment after
graduating from high school, A
whole generation has grown up with
a complete absence of those fears
which haunted so many of us in the
depression years.
Now, however, the scene has
changed to a remarkable degree.
Two weeks ago we placed an ad-
vertisement in the classified section
of this newspaper for a boy to work
after :four o'clock and on Saturdays.
No less than fifteen eager applicants
replied. in each case we found that
there was real concern about getting
employment. We were sorry not to
be able to hire all of them.
This new sense -of urgency about
employment is occasioned, of course,
by the fact that for the past two
years there simply haven't been.
enough jobs to go around in this
country and many others. It creates
in the mind of a young person a sense
of hopelessness which many of his
elders cannot fully understand. The
youngster, of course, lacks the ex-
perience of living and working which
aids his elders. The high school grad-
uate is startled by the fact that he is
going to be an added person on the
list ,of those who want work—that he
must break in right from. the begin-
ning.,
So far there is no lack of employ-
ment for those who are fortunate
enough to have university educatiOn,
but the latter class is a small min-
ority of high school graduates. The
situation calls for the exercise of
some considerable patience ,and fore-
sight, because young people can no
lorfger expect to start earning top
wages as soon as they are ready to
work.
Next to acquiring the specialized
knowledge which a university course
provides, the most sensible thing a
young man can undertake today is
the learning of a trade. Since the
early war -years the old practice of
settling down to - acquire a specific
skill, at modest wages, has been all
but forgotten. It will have to be re-
vived if our economy is to survive.
There are ,all kinds of trades to
be learned right in' our own com-
munity, if the young people are will-
ing to make the necessary sacrifice
of time and earnings. And the evi-
dence of the last two winters points
to the fact that skilled workers in
almost all trades fared pretty well
despite wide-spread unemployment.
Many potential employers, too,
have long since given up any thought
of training young people, chiefly be-
cause they could find none interest-
ed. Apprenticeship, in its former
sense, is almost a thing of the Past.
There is no use dreaming -about
a society in which every individual
is a gradute of some special school.
or university, all set to earn $12,000
a year as soon as he leaves the class-
room: for various reasons, among
them finances and varying degrees
of mental capacity, a high percentage
of students will never complete high
school training. Trades, in most
cases, are the next logical move.
The composite schools now under
discussion are no doubt a step in the
right direction. They would, at least,
offer a young person enough ex-
perience in the various field'S to per-
mit a decision as to his adaptability,
However, regardless of classroom
training, actual experience on the job
will always be a necessity. If we can
return to the old standards of fine
craftsmanship everyone in Canada
will be vasty better off.
