COMPLETE SECURITY
IS A MYTH
Statements by various govern-
ment leaders both before and aftt'r
the election;, would indicate that
there is some sort of legislation in
mind to provide for a suppler 1eiit;. y
pension plan which would be pails in
addition to the regular old age pen
sion. \VIiat is generally ;indicated is
a plan modelled after the `ocial Se.
curity set-up in the United ;+sates,
where compulsory payments are col
lected to provide the funds for t,id
age pensions.
This sounds wonderful in theory,
but there is room for grave doubt
that the Canadian people can afford
such a wide -spread plan of security.
We have witnessed, within the past
• two years, the drastic depletion of
the uneinploym•ent insurance fund—
because thecountry experienced a
comparatively mild. unemployment
situation. Despite the long years
during which that fund has be -en ac
cumulated, and the fact that those
who are insured pay only half of the
premiums (the other half is kicked in
by their employers) a few short
months of limited unemployment
throughout the country drained Ilio
coffers all but dry.
The very definite indication is
that such public -benefit flunk, par
ticutarly, when operated I)y gov(•r •
Vieth, simply do not cover the need
for which they are designed_ --at any
thing like reasonable contributory
scales. Just how much of the los
along the way is accounted. fur by
plain inefficiency, we are never likely
to kr) OW. -
If Canadians are to have ri 4np-
plementary pension of some sort for
their declining years (as thousands
already have) they should be permit •
ted to take their own choice from the
many excei1eiitpehsion plans tvhielr
are already offered by reptllal,le and
long - established Canadian firms.

own good judgment, but ill what ever

"x'\11 these government-sponsored
plans, whereby the taxpayers ;ire to
receive cash payments, have a 5t rung
odour of large-scale bribery. 'That's
a nasty word, but we tllilik its fits.
What better way is there 10 get
votes than to buy them \with promises
of monthly payments in hard rash?
The great drawback is that once
they are started no government ever
has the nerve to stop them.
Canadians of a few generations
back were a pretty self-reliant lot.

had built and the thriving coinniuid

manages to continue this wholesale

corse us for the shortness of otir
vision, The costs of these country-
wide payment plans do not increase
at a normal pace. They have a way
of doubling themselves every few
decades. The cost •of social security
payments in the United States has
already reached such astronomical
figures that no one can foresee the
eventual outcome.
if you want a pension for your
old age, something to add to the gov-
ernment old age security, why not
have a talk with any one of the six or -
eight men in your own area who rep-
resent utterly reliable insurance or
investment concerns? These com-
parlies face the stark facts of coni -
pet ition, and of necessity have work-
ed ,out pension plans to suit your
needs and your ability to contribute.
This is a field where we don't need
government intervention.

EDUCATION FOR ALL
:approval of plans for a new uni-
versity
ni-
\er sity at Peterborough was an-
nounced recently by Premier John
Roberts. The new institution will
commence operation in the fall of
1()04.
It will be called Trent University,
with an initial enrohnent of approxi-
inately 100 students. Plans call for
an increase to 250 students the fol-
lowing year and it is anticipated that
within a ten - year period 1,000
sindents will be accommodated.
l' or the first few years the uni-
versity will be located in buildings
made available by the Peterborough
Board of J c1ucation. Plans for the
establishment of a permanent site,
twill be finalized, on property which.
has been donated, on the .north side
of Peterborough.
The university will provide a
wide range of courses leading to de-
grees in the arts and sciences. Trent
University will be the 14th eligible
for maintenance and capital giants
in the Province of Ontario.

One of my Grade 12 students is
taking off in the morning on a trip.
I rather envy him. He's heading for
Vancouver, on a bicycle.
All he has to do is pedal through
the great loneliness of Northern
Ontario, ant -crawl the endless
prairies, toil across the Rockies and
push the last long stretch through
the vastness of B.C.

He has a brand-new bike, $50 in
cash, one army blanket and a big
supply of peanut butter sandwiches
to commence his journey. Also, of
course, he has one other thing—a
stout heart.
Whenhe. reaches Vancouver, lie
wili sell his bicycle and set off for
the Yulron. He hopes to work there
for a year, save a stake, then re-
turn home and go back to school
to complete his edtieration.

ands of young people have the same
desire, but they never do anything
about it except dream about all
the money a writer is supposed to
make. This fellow does something
about it. He writes all the time—
poems, stories, paragraphs—strug-
gling' heroically with .a natural in-
clination to misspell, 'He's going td
keep a daily journal on his trip,
He could have chosen no better
method of acquiring the experience
and material so helpful to a bud-
ding writer. There will he 50
stories, a hundred poems, a thous-
and incidents, in the strip of Can-.
aria across which his wheels will
roll this summer.
I envy him, as I said. He will
grow brown and hard. He will lie
beneath the stars and yearn. He
will heat pork and beans beside a
mountain stream. And he will meet
a thousand interesting people. Some
of them will he mean, most of them
friendly.

. He will see a Canada that the
.passenger on transeontinental train
or jet liner never sees. He will
smell pines and see ripening wheat
and feel the sun on his back in
the morning and hear coyotes yap-
ping at night.
He will savor the joys of but food
in an empty belly, warmth afttr
"zero at the hone," conversation
after loneliness, rest after ex-
haustion. He will marvel at sunset
on the prairies and the moon set-
ting fire to a tiny lake. He will
encounter hospitality that will en-
rich him with an abiding faith in
human kindness.
If he'kt very lucky, he will have
.the most rewarding experience of
all—he will get to know himself.
This is the most difficult of all
things for modern mao, who l' so
seldom alone, with time to think,
and feel, and wonder.
I think he'll make it. The fact
that he reads and tries to write
poetry does not mean that he's a
pantywaist who will he crushed by
his first brutal encounter with life.
This lad plays a rugged game of
football. Last summer he got as far
as Medco and wound up fighting
bush fires in B.C. before returning
to school, He's sensitive, but tough.
But the important thing is not
that he makes it, It is the fact he
is going, alone. We hear so much
today about the desire of youth for
conformity and security that it's
refreshing to see the evidence re-
futed,
.I do agree that today's young-
sters seem to lack a spirit of ad-
venture. But note the word "scent."
Z don't believe they really lack It.
I think they are seduced away
from it by over -protective par-
ents; they are robbed of their in-
itiative by having things made too
easy for them,

At. any rate, I'll be going west,
in spirit with this young fellow,
and wishing I were 20 years young-
er, so that t could be riding with
him. I have il: special Interest in
hiam because K. taught him English
and encouraged him in his writing.

OPEN 'LETTER TO THE RESI-
DENTS OF WINGHAM AND
VICINITY
Dear Friends of the
Salvation Army:
We of the Wingham Corps have
long been confident of the sympa-
thy and support of the fine people
who make their homes in this area.
Because of this fact, we are taking
this opportunity to bring before
you the present position of the cur-
rent Red Shield Campaign.
At the present moment, only
about 60 per cent of the objective
has been reached. This is, a most
unusual situation, and calls for
some definite action on the part of
all concerned. We of the Salva-
tion Army are sure that the, many
friends who have not yet contribu-
ted to the campaign are still wait-
ing for the volunteer canvasser to
call, These are busy days for
most of us, and some of the our
workers have not been able to com-
plete their districts.
If the Wingham Corps is to main-
tain its present standards of com-
munity service and spiritual assis-
tance to those in need, it is impera-
tive that the 1962 Red Shield Cam-
paign he bought to a successful
conclusion, as quickly as possible.
Tp accomplish this end, YOUR con-
tribution is needed. If you are
among those who have not yet been
canvassed, and you wish to con-
tribute, will you please telephone
or write to Captain Newman, Com-
manding Officer of the Wingham
Corps? Telephone number is Wing -
ham 129. Post office address is
Box 105, Wingham. If you so de -
Sire, a uniformed Salvationist or
other volunteer worker will ea.lt to
receive your gift. Donations sent
through' the 'Malls will be acknow-
ledged promptly.
in order that the many requests
Which come to us may be dealt
with properly, there to a definite
need for improvedfacilities in the
present property. The needed alter-
ations can only he made if present
and future campaigns meet their
objectives. This is where YOir
can do your parte We of the loeal
Corps know that we can count on
you! May we ask that you do what
you can to help us go "over the
top" without further delay?
