The work of the Mono Road committee in Chingua- cousy is an object lesson of what can be done in a small and scattered community. All the work has been done voluhtarily; seven trucks were loaned on one or two days a week, and Mr. Cooper himself covered 1,200 miles within the township at his OWn expense, which included the gasoline he used. The salvage collected was sold by the 100 lbs. to the highest bidder, and no less than $1,466.00 was realized. The local Red Cross gets every cent of this money. The material salvaged included over 70 tons of scrap iron, 15 tons of paper, 4 and one-half tons of tires and scrap rubber, 3 tons of rags, besides 5 tons of bottles and smaller quan- tities of other materials. THE BOY WHO DIDN’T PASS There is a word of encouragement in the following from a recent issue of the Wiarton Echo for those who did not pass in the recent examinations: “Don’t be too hard on the boy who can’t learn. Winston Churchill was. thought to be stupid when he was a boy. He was at the foot of his class and simply had to be flogged because he never could get his Latin learned. But Winston Chur- chill is a Master of English â€"- he has been classed with Shakespeare in his use of words, and the boy who was head of his class when “Winnie” was young â€" who or Where is he? So, here’s to the boy who didn’t pass, may he soon find his niche and go ahead in the line to which he is suited.” “One of the most remarkable salvage records to date comes from Mono Road in Ontario. Mr. Robert Cooper, President of the Chinguac0usy township Red Cross, in- forms us that they have been collecting salvage since the first week in April only stopping for seeding for a period of one week. On June 12th there were only a few old farm implements left to be picked up. D0 WELL AT SALVAGE COLLECTION The following is from a news letter recently received by The Liberal from the Department of National War Services: Mr. Brockington went to Britain recently to be as- sociated with the Department of Information in matters relating to North America. His weekly talks will be made possible through arrangements with the BBC and will be carried over the National Network of the CBC as delayed broadcasts. Mr. Brockington enjoys the reputation of being one of Canada’s most celebrated after dinner speak- ers, and he has broadcast on many occasions over CBC networks. He is a former Chairman of the Board of Governors of the CBC and a lawyer of international repu- tation. Prime Minister Churchill himself has set an example to the nation in accepting reasoned. well-informed criti- cism of the war effort. For, says Lord Queenborough, well-intentioned, intelligent critics are “the Government’s voluntary intelligence service, making all of us aware of the nation’s needs and moods. They shouid be encour- aged, not rebuffed.” The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation announces a series of broadcast talks by L. W. Brockington, K.C., be- ginning S_unday, August 2 at 9 7p.rrn.7EDT, 10 pm. ADT. Lord Queenborough adds some pe1t1nent obserxations on criticism in England wheie life has had to be much more strictly regimented and many cherished liberties temporarily given up. But much honest criticism still flourishes, and it has done useful work in correcting hasty measures, in bringing about reforms in certain Govern- ment departments, in pointing to the crippling effect that too much legislation may have on many industries and trade. It has been emphasized, for example, that the severe restrictions on export trade may hamper England‘s commercial recovery when the war is over. Taxation measures have also run the gaunt of criticism, and in some cases have been modified. In a recent article in The Rotarian, Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of the Interior in the United States Governâ€" ment and himself noted for his frank utterances, takes his stand with Winston Churchill, who once remarked, “In war, criticism is the life-blood of democracy.” Mr. Churchill should know, for .many times his cabinet has had to weather storms of public disapproval. But, Mr. Ickes pointsout, there are certain limits to the expres- sion of opinion in wartime. First of all, the intention of the critic must not be malicious or subversive, nor must he attempt to undermine the morals of the people. Speeches against recruiting, doubt of the Government’s good faith, etc., might come under this rule. In the second place, the critic should possess a reasonable amount of knowledge of the situation; persons who are habitually “agin the Government” or who are unintelligent parti- sans, cannot give reasoned criticism. Vicious personal attacks also come under this ban. The third safeguard practically every citizen understands â€"â€" the opinions ex- pressed should not give comfort to the enemy nor reveal yaluable information.

CRITICISM IN WARTIME As the fortunes of war vary from day to day the arm-chair critics have a fine innings at outlining war strategy and finding fault with things in general. While intelligent criticism is all to the good and is the right of a free people in a Democracy it does become sort of tiresome some times to hear tried and trusted leaders of the United Nations raked over the coals as if they were inexperienced school boys. In Canada we have had a certain type of criticism directed against our war ef- fort carried on by some individuals and a small section of the press which has had a damaging effect. All this has raised the question whether or 'not criticism is a luxury or war-time necessity. Should it be curbed with a stern hand or given a free rein? We rather think it should be rationed like gasoline and sugar and that the yardstick for rationing should be reason. common sense. patience and tolerance. Constant grousing and unbridled crlilticlism may be an important spoke in a fifth column w ee. L. W.
