Refugee 'Repays Debt by Helping Italian Girl A debt, of gratitude contracted by a 16-year-old German Jewish re- fugee,' who was granted release from an internment camp in Can- ada in 1911, has been •repaid 'in a heart-warming 'way. „ • Gerry.`W'aldston was 14 when his family fled to: England from Ger- many shortly before World War H. With the Outbreak of war, a secur- ityiconseious Britain rounded, up alien German residents regardless of their sympathies and interned them. Gerry was parted from his parents and sent to Canada. By 1941, Canadian authorities had been able to evaluate the true po- sition of many of these internees, and Gerry was offered a parole- like release providing d sponsor could be found who would support the boy so he would in no way be- come a public charge, nor take employment front a Canadian. A family friend, who had found success in the New World years before, assumed this responsibility, and provided thousands of dollars in support during succeeding years while Gerry studied commercial art, sions, Security against war! What we seem to be thinking of is sur- vival as the supreme aim in life. The search for security can lead us into dangerous territory -that ends in strikes, tension, taking us farther away from the very thing we seek. More .deadly is the by- path that leads us to seek easy liv- ing' security an terms of comforts, easy work, easy play. We would take the words sacrifice and Cross from daily living, Who wants to sacrifice in a day of"plenty? In this search for security -We have taken out of living its very heart which is the giving of our- selves. The very -essence of happi- ness and fulfilment is to be found in the sacrifice of ourselves for the sake of a great -pause. The great pioneers did not seek fer security. 011111110111101111111 f I fit MI I M I II N A1 11 1 2 11 1. 1 Those. gallant Souls in. every e.gli- who are the embodiment of the highest and best in- their generatien threw away their security in order that they might give themselves, The great gift that God has given unto man came through the life of His Son, It was offered through sacrifice, through suffering, 'dire-. ugh death, We receive His gift by faith and are brought to the real- ization that security cannot be found by searching for IL ft can be found only in the acceptance of the • sacrifice of the Son of God, ing in Him the security of Eternal Life.

Somehow, when the fig- ures are so plainly stated, each of us is bound to wonder whether he or she will be that one in fourteen. The increasing incidence of men- tal disorders has created a pressing need for more hospital space, more trained personnel and ,above all more money freely available to supply these needs. Indeed, the whole situ- ation gives rise to serious, cause for concern over the way in which we are now spending our public funds. Only -this month the government of the Province of Ontario was forced to inaugurate a 3 percent sale tam —a levy which will reach deeply into every pocketbook in the province.. Yet few 'of us give any serious thought to the demands we make upon the public purse. About a year ago there was a minor outcry when a reporter from one of the Toronto dailies did a feature on the grim conditions in the Ontario mental hospital at Orillia, where many of the province's grossly retarded children are housed. The IMPORTANT CHOICE Since Premier Leslie Frost an- nounced his intention of retiring from the political arena four mem- bers of the present cabinet have de- clared their intention of seeking the leadership of the Ontario Progres- sive Conservative party, and more may well do so before the convention in October. The choice of a new leader is a very important matter, . particularly with the PCs, who have been so strongly entrenched in Ontario, and whose leader is quite likely to become the premier. Thus the selection of the right man, though a matter at the moment which can be done only at the PC convention, is of some con- cern to all who live in this province. Of. the four whose names have been proposed so far, we tend to fa- vor Hon. John Robarts, of London, the present minister of education.' HiS strongest opposition is likely to come from Hon. Kelso Roberts, who is a man of undoubted ability and in- tegrity, but: whom, in our opinion, is too Old to provide the energetic lead- ership which is demanded. Mr. Robarts, on the other hand,,is considerably younger, has already proven his ability for solid thought and careful planning by the changes which he has originated in the On- tario educational system. Frankly, our strongest reasop for supporting Mr. Robarts would be the fact that he is a Western Ontario man—and we would like to see a Western On- tario premier in office. This, of course, would not be a strong enough reason to elect him if he did not have the other requirements, but we feel that he would he a wise choice from any standpoint. The final decision will be made by the several hundred delegates who will gather at 'Varsity Arena, Tor- onto, in October. They will listen with a great deal of interest to the addresses of the candidates and no doubt the vote will he governed to a great degree by what they learn at the convention.

One of our local citizens, who had interested himself in retarded Child- ren, came blazing into our office de- manding to know why "they" didn't do something about this shameful situation. We pointed out, although. we failed to convince him, that the blame does 'not lies with a mythical. "they'", in fact it does not even lie with government officials. It rests squarely upon Mr. Average Tax- payer, whose insistent demands for new highways, new liquor stores, new schools, new bridges, bigger grants for parks, community centres,. etc., etc,, provide the only answer there is. The whole truth of the mai- ter lies in the fact that only a small minority of informed and dedicated people know or care about • the kind of accommodation which is provided for the mentally ailing . . . and their combined voices cannot be heard above the clamour the rest of us create in our demands for all the luxuries of modern living. There is plenty of money in On- tario for new mental hospitals : all kinds of funds right here for those who are doomed to a life of shadows and fears—but only if we are willing to ride on less than perfect roads and wait our turn to cross outmoded bridges. IMMORTAL ELEPHANT Mrs, Brown is blessed with a kind heart and good taste. The qualities sometimes are in. conflict, as when her mother-in-law. gave her .a large vase, which might be mildly describ- ed as an artistic atrocity. Neverthe- less, Mrs. Brown kept it on her mantel-shelf for twenty years, with a sincere desire not to hurt the older lady's feelings. Then Mrs. Brown senior died and was mourned by all the village, in- cluding her. daughter-in-law. But about the same time, -the annual church bazaar was held, and Mrs. Brown junior happily donated the vase to the "white elephant" table.- The lady in charge of the table put a price of only fifteen . cents • on the atrocity, knowing that almost anything could be sold if it was cheap enough. She had no difficulty at all in selling it. One of her first custo- mers was fourteen-year-old Gloria Brown, who snapped up the vase at • the price asked, explaining: "I'm go- ing to give it to Mother. She has one just like it at home on the mantel- shelf .and 'she"II love fo have a pair." —The Printed Word: TRUTH IS OUT The Outlook, published by Re- sponsible Enterprise, Toronto, is very outspoken in its opinion of the New Party which recently held its founding convention : "The recent Founding Conven- tion of the New Democratic Party to replace the CCF banished what little doubt there was'concerning policies and objectives. Investment, both public and private, is to come under government control and direction. All private enterprise is to be subject to Government supervision. No amount of camouflage could obscure these primary objectives of our re- vised socialism in Canada. This junta that rules the Trade Unions, acting with their socialist henchmen in the New Democratic Party, would ac- quire power paralleled only by the junta that runs every communist country. "When Canadians consider how they should vote at the next general election, which cannot be long delay- ed, they should keep constantly in mind the vital importance of nreser- viN.,t our treasured freedom, To give power to those who would control, regulate, and ultimately strangle pri- vate enterprise would mean the end of individual freedom, and oppor- tunities for advancement and pro- gress, which all free citizens should cherish."
