It is safe to say that never before Cabinet ministers are holding several meetings each week preparing their estimates. Finance Minister Herb Anscomb sits with a tough grin and tells his colleagues they want to' spend too much of the people's Civil servants in Ottawa are not quite so exacting when It comes to overtime without pay. It's not uncommon to remain on duty till 6 or 6:15 instead of being away not later than 5 o'clock. However, the practice is not exactly what it appears to be. If the civil servants work longer without a large cheque, there come occasions when they leave earlier and receive money for so doing. SHOP AND SAVE AT have SO many people in money.

Lying Will Not Pay WHATEVER may be the faults of the United States government and the American press in particular, deliberate lying is not one of them. If anything, they have erred on the side of telling too much of the truth. Throughout the Korean War the American press correspondents have reported every move of the UN forces in detail, and they have even forecast What the next moves were going to be. General MacArthur himself has talked too much. All this has provided the enemy with free and valuable military intelligence, and the result is the present disastrous situation. There is no need to fight lies with counter-lies, but it is suicidal in warfare to act as an intelligence agent for the enemy. As for the final otn come of the present struggle of the western nations with the lying propaganda issued from Moscow, and the immoral tactics of the Boviet in the cold war, there can be no doubt. There is a divine edict against "whosoever loveth and maketh a lie," and "all the nations that forget God." If this world is to go on and the nations are to live together in peace, we must hold fast to the belief of the poet Patmore, that "When all its work is done, the lie will rot ; : The truth is great and -shall prevail." Merchants are finding the service useful and effective in checking up on credit risks and Mrs. Catherine Laurie, Bureau secretary, says that she is get o0o I HAVE MADE manv mistakes in my time but thank the Lord Si. f Make this your Nol i Jior I95I This observer has long thought it miivht be a good idea and much more efficient if a session of the Legislature came Russia, one of numerous !n- ting" a very gratifying degree of definite eports says, may attack Had the Soviet never i never ieu lor mat one.

Actually, there doesn't seem any good reason why there should be a session each year. Of course, the system will never be changed. Only the MLA's can change it and they're not willing to give up $3000 a session. I had the honor to print in this column the first accurate forecast of India's future relationship to the British wo;'hl community. It was piven to me at San Francisco, in Muy 1945 bv the brilliant lady, Mrs. Pandit, who is now India's ambasadnr to the United States. Nehru's sister told me then. 1.

OLD DAYS AND NEW EVERY routine ' occupation ig monotonous, but . few people think about the monotony. Someone has said that routine is one of the blessings of middle life, Young people are inclined to kick over the traces, but they'soon get used to the harness and like it. They love to put on a uniform and march in unison. Old people are lost when they have to retire from routine. Without routine, community life, with all its interlocking organization, would be impossible. It was the same in the old days, except that the pace of life was slower and people worked harder and longer hours. 4 Looking .back upon those old days, life does appear to have been more picturesque and humanly interesting than in this mechanical age, but occupations were no less monotonous and there was certainly more drudgery with little leisure. Mechanical appliances have relieved the modern housewife of the heavy labor that was the lot of her grandmother. Life in general today is undoubtedly jmflre interesting. The difference is one of speed. Time itself seems to be speeded-up and the panorama of life moves so fast that we can't take it all in. Working people are not empty-headed; in fact, they have such a jumWe of stuff in their noodles that they don't know what to make of it all. What thf world needs is a pause for reflection. What we nepd is more mental rest and calm contemplation of ithepassing events in the light of eternity. it. Miss Jeananne Crawford, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J.

The main thing is not to look up at the ky or think about it. The glum fact that the sun ?ets in the afternoon, not to rise until after breakfast the next day, cannot entirely depress the spirits of anyone who steadfastly refuses to notice. ! Certainly you must avoid comparing this dismal situation with bright summer mornings. Some people, for fear of making the comparison, prepare for the present season by carefully not noticing the good seasons. Even in the spring or in golden itu'tumn they go around with their heads down, lest they might see something beautiful and then remember it in the dark of early winter and feel depressed at what they had lost.
