The Wingham Advance-Times, 1958-07-23, Page 2• The bidet 41.1100e-' redneedaYm 44)' a NOW 'THE. PATTERNIS CLEAR A fe* short months ago, when 13ritish and French forces landed in the Suez canal zone there were world-wide screams of protest that the colonial powers were up to their old tricks, Poor, long-suffering Egypt was again the victim of dom- rneering imperialistic powers. The net result of the protests, which were loudest and sharpest in the United States and found many echoes in •Canada eincluding the voice 4 the then prime minister) • WAS that the British and French were forced to withdraw and leave unfinished a job which should have been completed there and then. The visit of President Nasser of the United Arab Republic to Mos- cow last Thursday and Friday finally dispels any doubt which, may have existed as to where the trouble originated. The grave unrest in the Middle East is sponsored and paid for by the Kremlin. All this talk about the rights of the Arabs to' their freedom and right of decision is so much futile nonsense. Now, of course, the 'United States has ;taken the,same • non as the British and French attefripted in Suez.,---- arid in all prob- ability the action is too late. What • was utterly wrong for the goose in Egypt has become laudible and righteous for the gander in Beirut. This latest phase of developments brings to mind the tragic sequence of misfortune which have dogged one of the great statesmen of our time. In the fall of 1938 Anthony. Eden resigned from the British govern- ment because he could not accept the compromise agreement which Cham- berlain had made with Hitler at Aftnich. Eden's wisdom was con- firmed by the rape of Poland and the Outbreak of the war. only a year later. Similarly Eden was forced out of office after the Suez crisis, only to have his judgment completely iusti7 fled by events in Lebanon and Iraq. Certainly the British have their faults but those shortcomings have NOT BUILT TO TAKE IT People who live is this part of the world spend nine months of the year moaning about the cold weath- er and dreaming of the balmy days they will spend beside the lake. Truth of the matter is, however, that we are a cold weather race and the heat of summer simply knocks the starch right out of us. • In the winter months we may come into the office in the morning - blowing on our fingers and cursing the frost but in a few minutes we have the Overcoat and snow bots strimed off and are ,hard' at the da,y'Fork,. Ntit12- little or no thought of the weather until we have 'to step„, out into it again at lunch time., Not so when the mercury is over the ninety- mark. We arrive half an hour late for work after a sticky night of attempted rest and find that we are useless for anything effective in the way of thought or production When the weather is too hot business slides to a gummy crawl and we find that our time at the lake is pretty well ,narrowed down to brief visits sandwiched between heat -soaked drives back and forth, Yes., -we still think we like sum- mer weather, but when the cooler days of September roll around every- body takes on a new air of alertness and a fresh intent to really make things hum. XeYerthelest, it is per haps as well that there is something to prove that none of us hate work as badly as we pretend.

It is quite possible that many Canadians, will be hopelessly confused by the government's move to redeem out- standing bond debts with a new issue of loan certificates, The move, however, would appear to be motivated by one of the sound- est principles of good financing. In order to meet the whopping deficit which Canada will face shortly, the government has simply asked the citizens of this country to carry the 91(4 rather than turning to outsid- *err`for assistance. It is merely a matter . of keeping our problems ,bur own family so that we can turn a united face to the world in general. Nor is the government asking the people to make any great sacrifice. In addition to increasing by 50 per cent, a sound cash difference on the trade-in of the old certificates is offered. In a nutshell, the offer is to pay more to the bondholder if he will carry the government ,obligations over a longer petiod of time,. Canada's international credit has been good ever since the outbreak of the last war, largely because Ca- nadians were willing to put up their own money in such large proportion for the -payment of spiralling debts. - A successful sale of the new bond issue will further enhance our repu- tation, for sound...national financing. A PLACE OF BEAUTY At this time of year we like to . remind our readers to think for a moment of the town and country- side in which we live. We are prone to accept the beauty and cleanliness with which we -are surrounded and to forget that ours is one of the most refreshing areas in this entire coun- try. • "Admittedly those words sound like 'unmitigated bragging. To be sure, they are, but not without a sound basis of truth, Three years ago this writer had occasion to at- tend a meeting in Vancouver and to spend a week on Vancouver Island. g back in Wingharn we were eon\ ed that on the long and large, otIr 1icular part of the world was the fineSt we had seen in six thou- sand miles of travelling. We had heard 'a lot about the garden of the Fraser Valley. It was nice, in spots, but we saw no evi- dence of the well-established pros- perity and pride of ownership which are conutionplace here, Vancouver Island had hundreds of lovely 'spots, places we would be glad to re -visit any time. But the general country- side is not well farmed and carefully tended. The beauty we found to be interspersed with its opposite. Last week we spent several days visiting weekly newspaper editors as far east as Peterborough and up to the Georgian Bay country. It was somewhat surprising to hear repeat- ed comments about their we memories of Wingliam as `‘ a, fine o, "a very pretty place" busy commun- ity' Not that we disagreed, but there are many towns which do not stick in the visitor's memory over the years. Take an hour next Sunday after- noon to drive around our streets at a slow pace and see for yourself the lovely homes and gardens which sur- round usl too the same in the sur- rounding countryside and you, too, will experience a iltW lift in tivk pride, WRONETEIR, ONT- XtaY 12th, 11411 Editor, °THE ADVANCE-TthiES," Wingbana, Ontario, Dear Sir: liked your "Salute To Canada," on her 91st Birthday—and claw- lafly thettelemeng pictere, beamed at the road ahead: "In recent days the AS, Research Bureau has is- SPed a report that Canada ocettples a most favorable position' in pos- eeeing a high tetion of resourees-to population. Present trend a Suggest that Canada may become a nation of 50 million people or More by the year 2,000". I observe a common note In jpost of the news stories and some ot the most influential editorials—at the farm, weekly and daily levels— dealing with the currreet problem of U,5.—eanadian relatioeships, namely, Unit "the Canadian peck are irked at being taken for grant- ed by their big neightior to the south"? This may look rather curious on the surface, stenuning from the market -financial, fact, that, according to friendle obser- vets In. the United States: ,"Let's remember that Canada's 17 million people are incomparably our No. 1 customers for 'Made in I.T.S,A.' goods and services—buying „More than the 170 million Latin-Ameri- cans combined, and more than the 325 million folk across Continen- tal Europe put together" (Christian Science Monitor). In like manner, it occurs to this reader to suggest that We have the same kind of market -place Pfoblem closer horn; stemming from the current surge of our people to town and city, as the 'fruit' of a mechanized Agriculture? So perhaps it is not strange, result- ing from there being 150,000 FEWER farms across Canada, in 1958 than as recently as 1940, that gainfully employed Canadian; on what one of, the wise men terms 'the rootless pavements', should gradually learn to take their rood, and farms AND THE FARMERS— •Toe' granted'? At this point, I'm satisfied to let the experts have the ball; but I certainly got food for thought from the following paragraphic picture 'as "drawn by °IKE", a man at the North American summit, 'a, few years•back; "If real peace could be established, a new kind of war could be" declared'—total war not upon any human enemy, but upon the .brute forces of povertY' and hunger. The peace we seek, found- ed -upon decent trust and co-opera- tive effort among the nation; can be fortifi4d—not by weapons of war, but—by wheat and cottOn; milk and wool; by meat, by timber, and bY rice. These are words which translate into every • language • around. earth!" (Dwight D. Eisen - bower, in 1954).

One of these appeared several.: weeks ago and as there was no signature I take it tobe s. master -- Piece of your- own. In this article you.stfted- you had nothieg.against the •trade unions, that they 'had been beneficial to the working Man at'the begipninge but that they, the trade union; had lacked the intelli- gence to carry on from there. (Better get a cushion, Mr. Editor, it's rather hard sitting astraddle the fence.) On July 9th your paper carried another article over the signature of Industry, and On July 16th issue under the 4Cr years ago •section. That, Mr. Editor, seems a long Ways to go to dig up that little bit • of dirt, as usual I find them all a fabrication of misleading state- ments, with the one purpose in view of touring the general pub- lic against the trade labor move- ment.

We were in a position to see how good he was against is as a body, so we decided to ask for a raise. 'the sanie old stay, couldn't pay one, but by keeping after him he finally broke down and sent for the shop com- mittee, of which I was one, nd made his first offer, which was a magnificent one of 3 cents on the dollar (don't confuse this with 3 cents an hour). It just wasn't half that good: 'This grand Offer was made in the fate of a rising eost of living that saw flour climb from below $3.00 cwt. to $7.70; sugar from less than e5.00 to $27.50; coal from around $8.00 to $20.00; weod. from $2,75 to $3.00 rose to $7 and 38 per cord; dairy butter hit 55-57 cents per lb., and eggs 84-85 cents per dozen.
