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.

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
