Clarksdale
Victory
on
the
west
coast
of
the
Queen
Charlottes,
unfortunately,
gives
appearance
of
being
one
of
the
worst
marine
disasters,
insofar
as
loss
of
life
is
concerned,
in
many
years
on
this
coast
Last
week
the
wreck
of
the
British
freighter
Langleecrag,
with
loss
of
ship
and
only
two
lives,
was
in
the
headlines.
This
week,
tragedy
has
struck,
with
much
heavier
blow,
virtually
ou
our
own
doorstep.
The
disaster
of
the
Clarksdale
Victory
reminds
us
that
those
who
serve
on
the
deep
are
also
in
peril
although
the
degree
and
percentage
is
greatly
reduced
from
what
it
was
not
so
many
years
ago-That
the
disaster
struck
so
close
to
us
impresses
itself
the
more
poignantly.
MIDDLE
GROUNDERS
lilDDLti
GROUNDERS"
is
a
term
we
are
iVi
hearing
often
these
days.
It
is
increasingly
;
used
to
describe
the
large
group
of
nations
who
are
struggling
to
build
some
middle
ground
be-
'
tween
Russia
and
America.
The
great
common
interest
of
these
nations
is
a
desjKjrate
desire
to
keep
the
peace.
Millions
of
their
people
have
had
such
a
searing
personal
experience
of
war
that
the
belligerent
talk
often
exchanged
nowadays
between
Moscow
and
Washington
starts
them
shuddering.
Millions
of
people,
particularly
in
Europe,
have
lived
through
years
in
which
it
was
fatal
to
make
a
wrong
choice
in
politics.
Today
they
oppose
anyone
who
would
make
them
choose
again.
They
do
not
want
either
Europe
or
their
own
lives
to
be
made
a
battleground
once
more.
Millions
also
hold
sincere
middle-ground
con-
1
victions.
Thev
naturallv
resist
ideological
drives
lrom
either
Russia
or
America.
Sir
Hartley
Shavv-'cross,
British
delegate
to
the
United
Nations,
put
it
bluntly
a
few
days
ago
when
he
said
that
Britain
would
not
permit
herself
to
be
"subjugated
by
either'
competing
extremes
of
communism
or
of
unbridled
capitalism."
It
would
be
easy
to
say
that
he
was
not
in
the
last
phase
describing
the
United
States,
for
capitalism
in
America
is
regulated
in
a
dozen
ways,
and
many
Americans
believe
things
would
be
better
if,
"free
enterprise"
were
freer.
But
Sir
Hartley
did
mean
America,
and
his
conception
of
its
capitalism
is
mild
compared
with
ideas
prevalent
in
most
of
the
world.
And
those
ideas
govern
nations'
nnl-icies.
In
any
case,
even
the
most
friendly
Middle
Grounders
nut
the
United
States
down
as
"one

treme

communism
and
eauitalism,

and

ATTENDANCE
IF
THE
CENSUS
FIGURES
are
taken
at
their
I
face
value,
it
may
be
claimed
that
about
98
per
cent
of
the
people
of
Canada
are
professedly
Christian.
But
at
this
time,
when
the
Protestant
cuurcnes
are
maKing
special
enorts
to
enlist
the
youth
of
Canada
in
church
activities
and
membership,
it
is
well
that
we
should
remind
ourselves
of
the
fact
that
there
are
millions
of
professed
Christians
in
Canada
who
never
attend
a
church
service
from
one
year
end
to
the
other.
This
is
shown
by
the
following
comparative.
figures
for
the
four
leading
Protestant
churches:

Thus
out
of
a
total
of
5.2G8.802
persons
who
were
listed
with
the
census
takers
in
1941
as
belonging
to
those
denominations,
only
1,850,035
were
enrolled
.
as
church
members.
The.
Census

the

Roman
Catholics
in
Canada
smAJ&SGjm
(including
Greek
Catholics),
of
which
figure
2.201,875
are
listed
for
Quebec.
As
all
Roman
Catholics
are
regarded
as
members
of
the
church,
there
is
no
way
of
determining
the
proportion
of
actual
attenders,
but
it
is
generally
admitted
that
Roman
Catholics
are
more
faithful
to
their
church
than
are
the
Protestants.
The
Christian
churches
stand
for
all
that
is
spiritually
and
morally
uplifting
in
our
national
Jife,
and
it
is
surely
the
plain
duty
of
every
citizen
who
calls
himself
a
Christian
to
sunport
the
church
to
which
he
nrofesses
to
belong.
The
tendency
towards
ihdifference
or-
ignoring
of
the
church
is
something
that
is
to
be
deeply
deplored
and
it
cannot
but
tend
to
deteriorate
national
strength
and
character.

take
place
in

nowhere

'there

picnics,

the

the

that
has
taken
place
in
the
past.
It
Is,
therefore,
necessary
to
reduce
our
expenditures
of
U.S.
dollars
In
many
different
ways.
As
one
of
these
steps,
the
Government
has
decided
that
the
use
of
U.S.
dollars
for
pleasure
travel
spending
must
be
reduced.
To
ensure
this
reduction
in
a
way
that
is
fair
to
all,
an
annual
"travel
ration"
has
been
established.
As

Is
$150

In
the
case
of

th

is
$100.

Any
