The Wingham Advance-Times, 1958-05-21, Page 2rag rs.ss, Wingitiott Adrinace-Tiniteti, Wriloteadar, Ittox 34 RED SHIELD SERVICE , Very soon members of the local service clubs will be knocking at the doors in \\Ingham to request aid for the Salvation Army. The Red Shield , campaign is under way and the pm' posebehind it is admirable. The Salvation Army performs numberless services in this area for which it gets no publicity whatever. There may be some who believe that the money raised through the Red Shield campaign is used to maintain the SA eitadel dud ease the burden for the adherents. Such is very far from the case. The Salvation Army, in one field alone, looks after dozens of unmar- ried mothers in the course of a year. Whether you like the stark facts or not, you should know that the re- cipients of this assistance are right ; in our own area ---- not the dwellers in ,a far away slum. There are many occasions when the local Salvation Army steps into the breach with food and clothing, long before the wheels of municipal assistance can he turned for those in need. When you and I have shrug- ged off the fate of a teen-ager in the hands of the law the Salvation Army officer :from Wingham is in the court trying .to find a solution and 'the glimmer of a future for the, boy we are Coo smart to talk about. Throughout its entire history the Salvation Army has undertaken the practical and unattractive tasks of making Christianity work where it is most drastically needed. Their THEY MOLD OUR FUTURE The -honor Which was recentlY paid to miss Verna McLaughlin, who re- tires at the end of this term after -23 years on the staff of the. Wingham Public School, serves • to remind us of the vitally important role which • is fined by our school teachers. Hun- dreds of people who have since reached • the years of adult life and assumed their responsible places in • society, will think back to the time they spent in Miss McLaughlin's classes and recall the basic funda- meitals of sound thinking 1.vilich she established. Education is much, much more than • the absorption of a certain quota of facts timing the years we aftend school. The properly educat- ed person is one who leaves school with the mental equipment and ale urgent need to continue the learning process. Jibe has been properly iii- stnictcd that need for knowledge will continue to his dying day. •'Teachers, even as the rest of us 'mortals, come in many grades of ex- .cellence, good, had and indifferent, but most of tis can recall some out- standing personalities from our school years who left their stamp upon our lives. In our own case one man in particular contributed vastly to whatever we have become since that time, for he unendingly emplot- shed the fact that schooling was bat the prelude to the practical problems which all too soon • confront , the scholar. His brand of education in- cluded not only the subjects pre- scribed in the curriculum, but in- tensive courses in courage, resource- fulness and self-reliance. Friends and former st u den t s who have known Miss McLaughlin well, always speak of the quiet dignity with which she enhanced her duties as a teacher. Tier contribution to the finer aspects of life in an in- creasingly hectic society are greater than any person, including herself, will ever know.

Through the Red Shield Callt- paign we •are, asked to provide some money—certainly the simplest part of the entire program, TAXES ARE DOWN, Vinaliaing the budget for the year, the W1110= town council de- cided last week that it would be safe to lower the domestic tax `rate by two mills. The news 'is good rot those who pay taxes only on resi-, dential property. We can sympathize with the council in its desire to call •ia halt to the upward trend in municiPal spending, and we kuoW that lois of other people will hail •the move as the greatest boon- in the world. We will need to bear in mind, however, that the reduced mill rate put a sior to any large -sale plans for muni- cipal spending. • Almost every month the council is faced with a series of request's for actionof „one kind and another . . each of which can be spelled .out iti terms of public expenditure. The council has heeded the cry at many citizens in reducing the tax rate. It cannot logically listen to very many appeals for increased spending. We can't eat our cake and have it at the same time. VICTIMS OF PROGRESS As fine new highways are being constructed all through our part of the province the stately rows of maples and elms which are so:typical of rural Ontario, are beconting- the victims of the fast and furious trae at which we live. The Department of Highways is sparing as many of the -beautiful trees as possible, but thousands are doomea. Th 6 reason for the slaugh- ter, of course is that new high WayS are being made as4afe for those foolish int.i-ists: who in- sist on driving at murderous- speeds. You have noted no doubt, that ditch- es have no lonp-er the sharPly-sloped contours of ti -me past two decades; they are tapered down gradually from the wide shoulder of the road and then gradually graded up to the fence line. ' The change is directed not Mere- ly by engineering -know-haw, hut also by the stark facts that quite:a few cars will plunge off the highway and into the surrounding jieldS the course of time, The -smooth slopes of the new -type ditches mean that less people will be killed. when these accidents- occur. Trees, of course, provide an additional ,hazard and when they are growing too close to the line of.a new road, particularly . along curves and hills, they must g6. Progress has become sacred in our day and age — it simply cannot be impeded. Therefore no one is to blame, but nonetheless we do, mourn the fall of the stately trdes which have for so long provided an extra measure of joy for those who' travel our countryside. • BUSINESSMAN HOLDS THE KEY Most of the talk about pointy:, out of the recession seems to be couched in terms of getting either the consumer or the government to spend more money.; But this misses the main point of our current slowdown, argues The Financial Post. It's not the consum- er who has reduced his demand for goods consumer spending is in-! creasing faster than population growth and prices. It's not the gov- ernment that has become less open- handed — Government spending is rolling merrily along. The spender whose appetite has become temporarily slaked is the businessman — the builder of CU - torics, user of raw materials, devel- oper of mining areas, creator of new distribution facilities. Even be has- n't actually reduced his spending; he's just slowed his rate of increase •beiow that to which, we, _hecattle •atcustorned. • a SFSSIS ss5 • BOX 473 A row wpolca w The Advance- 41men carried fm editorial headed nt)ear- in Which we - had the temerity to address' the newiy-eleeted prime 'Minister of Canada, The SditOrifil expressed our thouKhts on time responsibility of Ids goverment to the natio. toli,nr, week we reeeived the fol. lowing twO letters from 'Loots Oahe Puff, noted speaker god his- torian and natiVO otfilileVele.
