CAMPBELL Publisher B.C, Weekly Newspapers Advertising Bureau On Choosing A Governor General One of our respected contemporaries in the weekly newspaper business has suggested that it would be fine to see the next Govern- or General of Canada selected from another Commonwealth country with a different cul- tural background from our own. He gives good reasons for his suggestion. His most appealing argument is that it would @ gesture of friendship, perhaps brother- hood, in this sad old world of suspicion and fear. It would help cement Commonwealth relationships and thus ensure a strong bul- wark for peace. __, There is another compelling reason he might weil have stated, too. Inevitably, citi- zens from abroad who spend any length of with our system of government and our free, competitive economic system. They take home with them some of the enthusiasm and zest which are found only in dynamic socie- ties such as our own, where all men feel pride in building as ‘big and as well as they can; where ability is recognized and. rewarded; where there are few indeed who adopt a phil- osophy of need and despair. So we would be achieving two purposes in selecting a Governor General from another commonwealth country: we would be show- ing our respect for other cultures, and we would be winning respect for our own. Along with the great material aid we have given generously to others, we would be giving something of aur spirit and our will to suc- When Tennyson in a poetic vision foresaw “the nations’ airy navies grappling in the central blue" he was thinking of the at- mosphere, and his prediction was fulfilled In the last World War, The Wolf Behowls the Moon By LEWIS MILLIGAN ° necessaries of life, if indeed a hu- man being could exist for five seconds where there is no at- mosphere, Most of the books on space}. travel, from H.

We need to remind ourselves that time is very valuable and that we should use it accordingly. Think of the ways you use time: You have time to eat.

Multiply 70 times 365 and you'll see how the recommended length of time for a nor- mal person to sleep each night. Just think! Eight hours is one-third of a day — twenty- four hours.

The kind of man I always liked and always will like is the fellow who is frankly out to make money —| because money, to him, is the in- dex of his performance. I Uke the preacher who wants to attract blg crowds to his chureh, so that he'll get bigger collections and build a bigger, more beautiful church. I like the worker who wants more pay in his weekly envelope because he knows that the pay is the result of his own skill and willingness to cut the mustard. I can't stand mealy-mouthed do-gooders (it should read “‘talk- gooders” because few of them actually DO anything) who rant about social consciousness, equal-| ity, and all that sort of thing, which they expect from others. Yd respect them if they had their hands in their -pockets forking out some dough while making free with the words — but most of those fellows seldom fork out for anything. I like farmers who are frankly out to make money out of their farms, and I especially like those who do make it. I fail to see that a poor farmer is more virtuous than a rich one — indeed, in my experience, the re- verse Is more likely to be true.
