this extension of the blood program
will necessitate the collection of
200,000 bottles of 'blood annually to
supply the 30,000 hospital beds in
the province. The recruitment of

be the responsibility of the indi-
vidual Red Cross Branches in On-

CRUELTY UNCONFINED
No doubt many of our readers
think that the writer of this column
is a real dog-hater, for several times
we have Iteehr outspokenly in favor
of vigorous action to control what
has- become a common nuisance as
far AS dogs are concerned. In fact,
right at the present time dogs on the
loose present a very real hazard with
rabies in the countryside around us.
However, we have -nothing but
contempt. for the person who set a
trap last week and managed to catch
a young beagle. The dog returned
to its, master after a night in the
trap, with the Skin and flesh' stri pped
from • one front leg and the bone
broken near the foot. Of course -it
i8 quite possible that the trap was
set for a wild animal of'some sort,
but it was set either in town or very
close to and the results are shame-
ful.'
It " is .6ne thing to tie up a. dog,
-even to shoot him if-he is dangerous
to but no one shoUld be so
thoughtless' as to set a trap _where
a _pet. Could stray into it,
It is quite true of course, that at
least on our side of the world, the
will of individuals, as expressed
through labor and farm groups and
by the average citizen when he goes
to the election polls, now governs
our way Of life. Despite all you may
have heard to the contrary, neither
Canada nor the United States are
ruled by iron fisted business moguls,
. nor by any type of aristocracy.' The
solid mass of public opinion (when it
can be sufficiently solidified) is the
preponderant influence in our meth-
od of government today.
.ARE THE STANDARDS
',FALLING TOO LOW?
.Speaking at the ladies' night of
the Kinsmen Club on Friday even-
ing,. Rev. Harry Rodney, presented
a thought which is worth further
publication. 'The speaker S'a'id that
at the beginning of this century
some far-sighted individual. stated
that, the next hundred years would
usher in the full age of the "common
man".
Mr. Rodney Went on to say that
the Si)tty years Which have followed
.that remark have certainly proven
Its fi.ccitra.cy,, but. there- is good rea-
- son- to doubt that the'common man
has lived up to his .responsibilities.
•
iThat estimate is based upon a
minimum of $2,000,000 the inter-
national aid,, agency is asking the
public to contribute for CARE'S
Self-Help Program this year. The
funds will provide the material for
direct training and use to needy
individuals, instiutions and com-
munities in 23 areas of Asia, Ettr-
One, Latin America and the Middle
East, as gifts from the Canadian
and American people. ,
These Self-Help distributions
will supplement CARE'S vast food
relief programs, which are now
helping to feed an average of 11
million people every day. "Tools,"
In the agency's concept, coyer

"With 60 • percent of the world's
population still underfed, • food re-
lief Must continue to claim the
major part of funds • donated to

we believe the Canadian people
share our concern for the simul-
taneous, deeper need to prevent
hunger and privation in the future.
"The tools for self-:improve-
ment are so scarce in every under-
developed country that projects
totalling much more than $2,000,000,
halve been approved for aid and are
awaiting action. We have the buy-
ing.; shipping' and ' distribution -fa-

supplies. Every dollar donated for
Selp-Help sets in motion the chain
reaction that brings people, by
their own efforts to a higher level
of productivity, health and social
development, so that they will no
longer need relief,"
Of the 1958 minimum target, sup-
plies totalling $934,000 are slated
for Asia, including Ceylon, Hong
Kong, Inqie, Korea, Pakistan, the
Phillipines, Macau, Vietman; $434-

NEW OPPORTUNITY

The' announcement by Mayor

will shortly have title to the Ca-
nadian Pacific Railway property
Within the town is the most welcome
news we have heard in some time. It
may be many years before all of this
property can be utilized to full ad-
vantage, but it provides -an unpar-
alleled chance to beautify the town:
- With the recent acquisition fof
the land north and east- of the built-
up area by the Berry Door people,
it is reasonable to suppose, that the
river front in that section. will be
steadily improved. in appearance.

Despite all the emphasis which
has been placed upon the need for
greater safety awareness, there still
seem to he all too many places where
we can end our careers as the re-

certainly in order for the Wingham
Division of Ontario Hydro, where
the trend has been so successfully
reversed.
In this day, when every paper
and news report is filled with the
sad tale Of man's unceasing harvest
of accidents and violent death and
injury it was refreshing to attend
the Hydro dinner last week when the
Wingham Rural Hydro office staff
celebrated the completion of 1,000
accident-free days.
Such a record is particularly
noteworthy when the organization
concerned not only is subject to all
the hazards which face a. normal in-
dustry but must deal at all times
with the added dangers of exposure
to electrocution.
Accidents can and often do occur
with shocking suddenness where
electrical workers are engaged, as -
families of victims in years past can
well testify. It is for this reason,- of
course that Hydro's manag-emerit
and the workmen themselves are
perhaps more than ordinarily con-
scious of the need for constant vigi-
lance in everything they do, whether
