Back to Church Resolution

Now that the: children are back in
school and all the social and civic clubs
are -active again, it is a good time to make
a Back To Church resolution. ;

There is a tendency to think of the
church as just another social institution
instead of looking at it-for what it really
is, a place for spiritual uplift and soul
growth. Whether or not we are

it. It expands | one over and above himself.

It is like the “ghost wire” in the tele-
phone system that carries a much greater

current than can be born by the single -:

wires that make it up because of their
relation to each other.

a star. The church is that star — that -
chord — that harmony that is greater than

can become a part of the Great Divine
Harmony.

Milking the Government
Via Unemployment Fund

Cashing in ona loophole in the unem-
ployment insurance regulations, a Winni-
peg family recently earned $10,205 in a
year while drawing unemployment bene-
fits. And by repeating the dodge, they
hopes to get away with it a second year.

It is all perfecfly legal.

Here’s how it’s-done, as reported by
the Winnipeg Tribune.

The husband, an $85 a week carpen-
ter, was laid off in December, 1958, just
as he bought a building “lot and poured a
concrete basement. His wife, a garment
worker, stayed at her $30 a week job,
while he signed for jobless pay, -claiming
a nine year old son as a dependent. He.
Pot $36 a week as an.“allowable” income
and he promptly got a job for one day a
week that paid $16.50.

He mortgaged the lot and built his
own home with money he borrowed. He
worked four days a week on his house and
one day at his carpenter's job.

Seven months later, ‘while still ‘“un-
employed” he sold the house for a profit
of $4,860. uhen. he promptly went - back
to work ‘full tim

The family's 12-1 month income. was:

aoe

Salary, June to December, 1958,: at $85
a week, $2,210; unemployment insurance
benefits, December 1958 to July 1959, at
$36 a week, $1,080; ‘allowed income, $16.-
50 a day for the same period, $495; his
wife’s earnings, $30 a week, $1,560; profit
on the house, $4,860. Total, $10,205 or
$194 a week.

‘ In January, 1960, he was laid ‘off
again. -He got another one-day a week
job, bought a second lot and has now al-
most competed another house:,

There is no regulation to stop him.|~

Second Best Won't Do

Canada’s newsprint industry, part of our $1,500
million: pulp and paper giant, is looking for another
record production year. af

But that no .cause for complacency. Higher costs
are squeezing the industry, and more countries in
different parts of the world are expanding their news-
print production. This may not cut down too much on
our exports, but it poses a threat to their future grow-

In Scandinavia and the US. particularly, industry
policy has emphasized installation of the latest in
equipment and the most modern ‘techniques.

To compete with them in export markets, our
mills must be second to none. From tree to customer,
our operations must be the most efficient and up to
date in'the world.

Fortunately ' for Canada, the pulp and paper in-
dustry is not being complacent. The details of its con-
tinued’ expansion and of renewed efforts in research
in both mills and forests, can be found everywhere.

Last year pulp.and paper earned $1,000 million
from exports, mostly to the U.S., and paid out’ $425
‘million in salaries and wages alone.

With, sums. like this involved, its progress and
problems become matters of vital concern to all Can-
adians. — Financial Post

B.C. Votes for Development

Premier Bennett is, of course, to be congratulated
on his victory in_the British Columbia general elec-
tion, But we would extend equal congratulations to
the British Columbia electorate — all of them, re-
gardless of how they voted. By the time the last bal-
Jot has been ‘counted, there should be more than a
million of them — an all-time record. Multiple voting
in several ‘city ridings makes it impossible to tell
what percentage of those eligible.to cast ballots ac-

* tually did so, But it would seem that very few Bri-
tilsh Columbians steyed away from the polls.

tt was nolis-barred,
that brought out the voters in British Columbia, The
essential fight was between Social Credit, which has
governed the province since 1952, and the Co-opera-

tive Commonwealth Federation. The essential issue .

was private enterprise, as represented by Social
Credit, and public ownership, as represented by the

Social. Credit took 39 per, cent of the ‘votes,
against 46 per cent in the Provincial general eloction
of 1956. The CCF ‘took 32 per cent against £8 rer
cent in 1956, The Liberals fell-from 22 per cent to 21
per cent, The Conservatives rose from 3 per cent to
7 per cent.

Zt may thus be assumed that 67 ner cent of the
B.C, electorate opposes Socialism ‘and supports pri-
vate enterprise; and that the Social Credit govern-
ment, while returned on a minority vote, none the
less reflects the gencral attitude of most British Col-
umbians, True enough, Sociat Credit appears to have
suffered a loss in popularity. But this is the third
time it has presented itself as a government to the
B.C. electors, and a fluctuation of this nature was
only to be expected. In the course of elght years,
every government makes blunders and ‘enemies, and
the consequences are seen at the poll

In any event, what counts is not the number
or percentage of votes won by any aye it is. the
number of seats, With one seat still Bo-

and imaginative; it, has great. and obvious accom-
plishments to its credit in transportation — ferries,
highways bridges and tunnels. The Bennett govern-
iment gets thifigs done, it allows private enterprise
to get things done, atid this seems to: have been
the main reason for its re-election. .

Against the positive, accomplishment and assur-
ances of the Social Credit regime,’the COF ‘offered
the negative prospect of a Socialist government that

would “take over” all privately owned power facilities, , ~

telephone systems and natural gas pipelines in the

province. Such action would have halted,.or at an

The B.C. election has provided something of a
test for the so-called New Party, which is to wed the
COF with the trade unfons, Such a marriage existed,
in effect, during the B.C, campaign, with unfon of-
ficials throwing their full weight behind the COF.
To what extent did the unfon members, the . rank:
and file, go along?

There are ome 150,000 union ‘members in B.C.
