MAGOR President J. R. AYRES Editor Authorized as second class G. P.. WOODSIDE General Manager mall by the Post Office Department, Ottawa TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1958 Where price-making is easy HEVERYON E wants to get into the act!” was the mournful wail of a vaudeville comic of the twenties. And now the Communists are trying a new sales push. This time it is cars and two Russian models, the Volga and the Moskvitch, are selling in Vienna for $1,350 to $2,400. These cars (which were on display at the Brussels Fair all summer) are not the small models Canadians are ac- customed to think of as European-type ears. They look like two-year-old Mer- curys, and are loaded with capitalistic- type chrome. They are clearly intend- ed for the bourgeoisie, not the prole- tariat. Car-makers are now going to find (as aluminum producers have already discovered) that Russian price compe- tition bears about the same relation to ordinary competition as a wood pussy bears to a tabby cat. It’s an entirely different, and more virulent breed. A station-wagon for $1,500 (reported price for the Moskvitch in Vienna) is hard to match by any known costing system. If they want to, the Russians can cut a wide swath. They can set their prices at any level they want. —The Financial Post. Whose money is it? JHE Portland Oregonian prints a let- ter from a reader which offers an interesting suggestion. He proposes that we stop the “silly practice” of re- ferring to the financing: of projects with “government money” or “Federal funds” as though it was “manna from heaven.” , Instead, he thinks, we should start calling such financing by its right name—that is “your money” or “tax- payers’. funds.” There is a world of merit in this idea."A great many people, apparently, don’t relate “Federal funds” or “gov- ernment money” to the state of their own pocketbooks. They don’t realize that every cent must be paid one way or another by the taxpayers of today and of gener ations to come. And that term “taxpayers” includes everyone in the country. Even people in so low an income bracket that they pay no direct taxes must pay hidden taxes every time they buy an article or a service. The widespread use of such a term. as “your money” would be a tremen- dous help in correcting this sad situa- tion. We'd think twice if we really un- derstood that we must pay a part of the cost of everything government does—whereas now we only think once or don’t think at all. At any rate, keep it in mind next time you read about government spending. It’s “your money”—billions upon billions upon billions of it, collect- ed in taxes. —Wilkes-Barre Record.

We may bulge our statute books with anti-dis- crimination laws, but until in our homes, our primary schools and our churches we teach young people that intolerance is an evil, a mark of ignor- ance and immaturity, intolerance will be with us... It isnot enough to make intolerance un offence before the law; we must make it, if we wish to abolish it, an of- fence in the eyes of people, a mean, un- manly, un-Christian thing, pitied and despised by all who are decent and civilized. —Fyom The Ottawa Journal. _ by J.

I was staring glumly , into my mild and bitters when 2 voice said, “Hello, Canada.” I looked up and_ stared straight into the friendliest blue eyes. They seemed’ to say, “Well, well chum, it can’t be that bad. Come and have a chat with me.” I talked to her for awhile. Soon a new drink was by my side, placed there by @ bar- maid who received a signal that. 1 never saw. In five min- utes, I was gabbing about my- self, my home, and fishing pictures out of my wallet. “Play darts?” she asked. Alongside the bar were some Englishmen and women play- ing a game. “Hol there, George, I have a specia) friend of mine from Canada I would Nke you to meet,” and over came a mous- tached fellow in tweeds. The next thing I knew 1 was belng introduced. all round and playing darts, The night passed well as did many others there, But Mother McFadden, al- though spe had a pleasant. word never eoncentrated the same on me again, She seemed to have the alr that she had put me back on my feet.
