Nobody af all

A great deal of discussion has taken
place in Canada lately concerning the re-
luctance of farmers to encourage the ef-
forts of the CCF and the Canadian Labor
Congress to agree on general principl for

gow!” he exclaimed, “I shoulda brung Mag-
gie along.”

Only trouble with that story is that you
don’t hardly find no hillbillies like that no
more. Leastwise, not in the neighborhood

a new political party to take the place of
the CCF. =o

The failure of the farmers to be won
over by the CLC-CCF arguments reminds
us of the story about the hillbilly who visit-
ed the city for the first time.

He stood in front of a bank of eleva-
tors in one of the city’s tallest buildings and
was completely fascinated. An old lady,
bent and wrinkled, hobbled up to an eleva-
tor, pressed a button and was whisked up-
wards.

The hillbilly listened to the noises and

-stared at the flashing lights for a couple of

minutes. Then the doors opened again and
out stepped a lovely young lady. The hill-

‘billy gawked and shook his head. “Holy .

of Winnipeg where the CLC and CCF held
their talks on a new party. The meeting had
plenty of noises and flashing lights but
there wasn’t a farmer for miles around who
didn’t realize that the old woman who step-
ped into the seminar was still around the
premises somewhere.

This reaction on the part of farmers,
who are far from being hillbillies, was most
annoying to David Lewis, the CCF presi-
dent. He was sure they must have been
taken in by the propoganda of big business.

After all, the new party was dressed
up specially to appeal to farmers, and it
was pretty dull of them not not to be im-
pressed. A few farmers went and took a
look, but only on their own. None of them
rushed home to fetch Maggie:

Maurice Duplessis (deceased)

Maurice Duplessis is dead. The fiery

lead Quebec out of it. He dissolved the pro.
vince’s legislature and demarided a new

premier of Quebec, who made “provincial

‘ rights” his battlecry, has now passed from

the Canadian scene.

The man whose constant clamor for
Quebee’s “autonomy” kept his province
from. patricipating in the Trans-Canada
Highway program, who kept Quebec out of
the national hospital insurance plan and out
of the federal-provincial tax-sharing system
and the province univerisites from receiv-
ing millions of dollars in federal aid, has
now been laid to rest. ;

But though these actions of Duplessis
were a constant reminder that without vi-
gilance provinciat autonomy can be lost to
federal centralism, it must not be forgotten
that in the interests of political expediency
D in 1939 attempted to ignite the
hatred of the majority of Canadians and
damage his own race for. generations.

Barely a fortnight after Canada enter-
ed the war Premier Duplessis undertook to

No. Party Politics
For Civil Servants

Civil servants, of course, have
a right-to vote as they please, but
if they should wish to take an ac-
tive part in partisan politics they
must first resign from the public
service. This applies to government
employees at all levels.

It does not make them “se-
cond-class” citizens as some civil
servants have contended. It is sim--
ply keeping politics out of the civil
service, -as civil service commis-
sions are designed to do. It is also
a barrier, in some degree, to public
jobs becoming a reward for poli-
tical service. — Edmonton Journal

Speaking in Toronto on March 2 of

the University of Toronto, said support for
universities should follow “the traditional
college pattern - - 40 per cent from govern-

The federal and provincial govern-

more than what Dr. Bissell feels they should

Mr. Thorson’s remarks about the bill

wide distribution, though, has been made
by a resolution approved by the labor re-
