Politicians and pub- lic alike have eham'pioined it as a forward and necessary way of thought. But, does unposed secur- ity represent an Unqualifed ,good?' "That was a question posed by a buslneas friend of mine iu a pub- lic address.. A economy, he argued, included everything but economy. Socialism and communism, the ul- timate end of such comprehensive planning, accomplished nothing' but a, steady "levelling down." Only enterprise, with its emphasis on initiative and incentive, its hope of reward created a world that "levelled ule" But levelling up is not a practice of governments. This is not due to any lack of good intention. It •is merely that, to meet unlimited de- mands, whether for social or other services, it has nothing to satisfy them that it does not first extract from the people. It is spending people's money, not government money. A still more serious fact is that it cannot even distribute all that it collects. It must create an ever -enlarging burea cracy to distribute these benefits. So it im- poses a political brokerage on the dollars we have earmarked for so- cial services. But, forgetting this drain at the source, there are other drains that are more serious. People will not be as careful ofm'oney for which they have not oiled, nor will they use easy money as wisely. There then go thrift and prudence, which are among the greatest of our civil virtues. There also goes the stab- ilizing belief that the "take-out" of benefits should bear some relation to the "put -in" of effort or enthusi- asm or care for the present and the future. Free money, free service, free security put everything on a par- ity. That's what we are asking. But is it all benefit? Is• it wise to make equal the man who saves for the future and the man who spends as he goes; the man who abuses his 'health, and the man who con- serves it; the man who plans and saves for his family, and the man who says "someone will look after them?" This theory of equality ,of pay for unequal effort is under- mining the solid, creative virtues, fr n e e h ri a to argu alai�et .a o ethoiig. t and da. tett r i endence m e`.

The models were superb in their first efforts to display charming wearing apparel. A full showing of smart suits and dress- es won the hearts of the ladies. The fur coats were very beautiful. Each garment was displayed by a charming high school student or a business lady of town. Mrs. Bailey decorated the stage with ferns and seasonal large mums, making a beautiful background for the affair. —Exeter Times -Advocate.

Observe 50th Wedding Anniversary A happy event took place at the bbme of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Ydung, 7th concession of Colborne Township, on Nov. 16, when' Mr. and Mrs. Young were showered With gifts, flowers and congratula- tory messages on the occasion of their fiftieth wedding anniversary and Mr. Young's 82nd birthday. Through the afternoon and even- ing scores of relatives and friends called to extend good wishes from their own communities, Goderleh, Aiiburfi, Dungannon, Lucknow and 14j verton. Mrs. A. Y. Helidersent, tif'aoderich, widow of the late Rev. Robert Henderson, was the only rotative present who attended the Wedding fifty years ago. Mr. A. W. 3t'Ming, of Nile, is a 'brother of Mr. Toting and Mrs. Thos. McPhee, re- siding with her son, -Gordon Mc- Phee, on the 8th concession of Col- borne, is a sister, but both were unable to attend owitig to illness. Another brother, John, lives at Red Deer, Alberta, and six sitters shave' passed o'n. Mrs. Young is a daugh- ter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bell of Colborne Township.- Gode- lit h iSignal-Star. Ultimately the thoughtful who look to their own future 'will grow too weary or too few to support the lazy, the thoughtless and the imr provident. Ultimately, whatever pet; iticians may say, we must hope to get back to the solid virtues and broadly speaking, learn again to depend on ourselves. This. is not a doctrine of selfishness or inhu- manity. It is the obligation of liv- ing, a doctrine as old as time. In the sweat of a man's face shall he sat his bread. Radar Guides Ships Of the 'World Radar equipment designed and manufactured, primarily for use during the last war, is now being produced by Canadian Arsenals Ltd. for installation aboard vessels of Canadian and foreign register. The luxury liner, "Queen Eliza- beth," largest ship afloat, is equip- ped with marine radar of Canadian manufacture, as is the "Caronia," another passenger liner placed in service only this year. The log of the "Empress of Canada" records an occasion when she sailed up the Mersey and drew alongside the landing stage in Liverpool without any visual aid to navigation. In fact, the first member of the ship's company to sight land was half way down the gangplanks- before he could -discern part of the docks. Radar brought the "Empress of Canada" safe to land. and eliminat- ed costly delays at the mouth of the Mersey. The S.S. "Lemoyne," longest ship operating on the Great Lakes is largely dependent on her radar set. The well-known icebreaker "N. B. McLean," which returned recently from her summer vigieon the ship- ping lane through Hudson Strait, is able to plot her •position in ice - fields by radar, while avoiding oth- er marine hazards. Sugar beets are saving the Unit- ed Kingdom more dollars than any other crop, according to Sir Fran- cis Humphrey, of the British Sugar Corporation. 1) M'r ard' Mrs; John ( T•l:l0. at, ,tended thb coiifinpA tion, p .

"C" For Citrus Now is the time for good qual- ity citrus fruits. This means, of course, oranges and grapefruit. These breakfast favorites can be used ,in a variety of ways for other meals such as broiled grapefruit and the familiar orange and grape- fruit salads. Nutritionists say one serving' of citrus fruit is needed every day. Destroy Diphtheria In some districts of Canada where adequate immunization has been carried out, not a single case of diphtheria has been reported in fifteen years or more. This proves that immunization, carried out sys- tematically on a wide scale, can destroy diphtheria as smallpox has been wiped out in. Canada. Im- munization of each -and every child is the responsibility of the par- ents. Immunization is about as painful as a mosquito bite and few people experience more than minor after-effects. Don't put it off. Walk Off That Waistline Setting behind a desk or working at a bench is a fine way to de- velop stiff, cramped muscles and unnecessary layers of fat. One way to relieve this condition is to walk to and from work at least part of the time. You'll be sur- xise0"dt t'iiQ'�lliffere N,I+4+"4x1. .4'44' .`N.W.

The- Voice Of Temperance Everyone knows that it is far more sensible to put a fence .around a dangerous cliff and so to prevent disastrous `accidents, than merely to place an ambulance in the valley to transport victims to the hospital. In other words, the Huron Temperance Federation, while concerned about helping the victims of the liquor traffic, is still more concerned about subjecting so destructive a traffic to every sort of restriction.—(Adv.).

PLANTS — alI kinds of plants —need supplies to thrive on. This is true of plants in the garden, and true of plants which make articles of aluminum. Vegetable plants draw their sup-' plies from the soil and the air. The 1000 and more aluminum manufac- turing plants across Canada draw theirs from us. And just as different garden plants produce different leaves, flowers, roots and fruits, so these manufacturing plants shape our aluminum into a P`�MING� AL variety of useful forms—kitchen ware, garden tools, furniture, balitis,, aeroplanes and trucks .... all Sorti of things which people want becafillt they are light and economical. We and these independent manu- facturers anufacturers make a team. They draw on us not only for aluminum but also for the technical siervices of our laboratories. And because we pro- duce, here in Canada, a quarter of the world's aluminum, theyare able to buy this metal at lower prices than anyone else anywhere. UMINUM COMPANY OF CANADA, LTD.
