I THE LIBERAL. Richmond Hill, Thin-5., October '4. 1951 SAM COOK, Editor Will your home heating equipment bring you comfort or calamity this fall and winter? That‘s the question safety conscious 3f1're officials ask as they advise house- holders on safe heating practices for the cold months ahead. - Every community in Canada has its share of loss by fire. In‘ the United States alone 100,000 home fires resulted from defective chimneys and flues and faulty heating equipment, destroying more than $103,000,000 in property and claiming thousands of lives. Negligence with equipment is not alone among the main fire causes. Negli- gence with matches by careless smokers is also responsible for widespread damage. Fire prevention officers give six sug- gestions for readying home heating equip- ment for safe, cold weather operation: Recent surveys across Canada show that larger numbers of married women are entering the employment field because of the increased cost of living. 1. Have your oil or gas burner or coal stoker cleaned and lubricated and safety controls and ignition checked. It's no job During the last year results indicate ‘that, on the whole, the labor picture ac- rOss Canada appears “quite bright,” al- though certain seasonal layoffs are noted. Establishment by some provincial governments of the principle of equal pay for men and women doing the same work is a tremendous step forward for Canad- ian women. The hope is expressed that other provinces will not be far behind. These surveys across the country have brought in the following reports. Vancouver: Married women account for much of the increase in the number of women entering employment in British Columbia. Employers are beginning to realize women must be emplored for the work they can do, and not according to marital status or age. Nurses are in good supply but teachers are needed. A sllght demand is noted for-laboratory technic- ians and air stewardesses. The United Church is seeking 125 young women an- nually for work in Christian eduction and other fields both in Canada and in foreign countries. Following the recent rejection of the St. Lawrence Seaway plan by a United States Congressional QomAmitteg, thefe has Simple Heat Precuations Victoria: An increasing number of Women ar'e seeking employment largely be- cause of the higher cost of living or the seasonal unemployment of the husband. been a lot of loose talk about Canada pro- ceeding with the project on her own. There is, as yet, little general rec0gnition of the fact that Canada can do nothing in connec- tion with the power project in the vital In- ternational Zone without the approval and permission of the President of the United States. The Boundary Waters Treaty of 1907 set up the International Joint Commission under which nothing can be undertaken in international waterways without theau- :thority of both governments and the ap- proval of the International Joint Commis- sion. The “authority” in the United States is deemed to rest with the Presi- dent. Readers whose interests have not in- cluded anthropology may be puzzled by news that some Caucasian troops are now with the communist forces in North Korea. Who are these latest arrivals on the battle scene? Primitive tribesmen, perhaps, descendants of the Golden Horde of the great Khans, riding on shaggy pon- ies? Any such impression would be quite contrary to the facts. The newcomers are Europeans, riding no doubt in tanks and airplanes, rounded up in communist countries as volunteers to help the cum- ~munists of Asia. K. R.

Though for convenience he class- ified human beings physically, he taught that differences are only in degree, and that innumerable gradations connect all geople. He affirmed the unity of man- 'nd.

The committee found that positions are always available for trained, qualified wo- men, even the older women with special skill and experience. Fort William: good opportunities in business for single girls with the necess- ary qualifications. Little demand existed for women in the higher professional groups, except in hospitals. Because of good pay, some women are seeking jobs on boats and as cooks and helpers in bush work. In Medicine Hat substantial increase is given to work for the disabled and the blind Toronto: if older women are trained in their profession, are alert and have at- tractive personalities, there is no difficulty in placing them. In Kingston, Ont., women over 45 are not as acceptable as the younger ones in the general labor market except where training, experience and personality were deciding factors. Age was a less import- ant consideration in the professions. Ottawa: while some employers feel the married woman with home responsibil- ities is an “uncertain quantity,” they still want experienced workers. It was stated that if all married women whose husbands are working withdrew their servics and pay cheques, “a depressiOn would develop overnight.” If ‘all married nurses quit their jobs, one third of the hospitals in On- tario would have to close. dent Truman to permit a joint application by Ontario and New York State for power development in the St. Lawrence might; possibly be agreed to, but that two condi- tions might be demanded: (1) that Canada undertake to develop a 27~foot seaway, and (2) that the United States Federal Gov- ernment gets the right to develop the pow- er in the United States. The first condi- tion might be met by Canada’s agreement to build the seaway on her own but the second condition would require a vote of Congress and, possibly, a Canada-United States Treaty. “In either case,” says Mr. Wilson, “there would be the old Congress- ional battle to fight all over again. In short, even though Truman wants the seaway and even if he were sympathetic to Canada doing it alone, he might, for internal pol- itical reasons, ask conditions which, for all practical purposes, will shelve the seaway once again.” the black-skinned Melanoderms. But these are loose frameworks, not rigid cat- egories. The ‘terms are merely descrip- tive in one respect, telling nothing about; other characteristics or the relationships of peoples. On the basis of language, Max Muel- ler, a German Scholar at Oxford in the latter 19th century, introduced the term “Aryan” as applied to the large Indoâ€"Perâ€" sian sub-group of languages. But unfor- tunately he carelessly spoke also of an Aryan race, a concept that was embroid- ered by romantic writers in several coun- tries and was glorified by the arrogant Nazis. In c0nsequenoe, millions have per- ished at the hands of fanatics who believ- ed themselves super-men. Mueller saw how dangerous this idea might become, and insisted that Aryans are simply these of whatever color or blood who speak par- ticular languages. Scientists say that “pure races” are pure myths. Human be- ings are all one species, living in mixed ethnic groups.

Kiv’fiiiNA SMITH, Associate Editor ire Peril In The Liberal masthead on the editorial page each week will be found the legend, "Member of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper As~ sociation.” To most people this means little more than the fact that this newspaper belongs to an association of newspaper publish- ers.‘ The purpose of the associa- tion and what it does and has done for weekly newspapers across the Dominion is not so well known. in every province of Canada. It was organized primarily to give service to newspapers in the weekly field and to provide them with official representation in their business dealing with governments and nat- ional advertising. It seeks to place the whole newspaper profeSSion on The Canadian Weekly Newspa- pers Association is comprised of 550 weekly newspapers published Serving Communities a high plane and to aid constantly in the improvement of the servi:e the,individua1 newspapers tender in their own communities. The success which has attended the efforts of the Association in the promotion of better newspa- pers may be seen by the tremen- dous improvements in weekly newspapers generally since the Association came into existence. Sponsoring of newspaper con- tests in the various circulation groups has been one of tehfactors contributing to this advancement. Through these contests newspapers throughout the Dominion have im. proved immensely in the presen- tation of news, in the presentation of the advertising message, in typ- ography and in general makeup. Originally weekly newspaper publishers held membership in the old Canadian Press Association, which was comprised of daily newspapers, weekly neWspapors, business and other magazines. In 1921 the groups divided into separate associations and the Canadian Weekly Newspapers As- sociation came into existence. The Association employs a secretary- manager who 'conducts the busi ness of the Association and who issues a bulletin each month, in which general news of interest to publishers appears. New ideas are passed along to other publishers through this bulletin, and today it is rendering an increasingly im- portant service. Each year the Aesociation holds its annual convention, and the convention alternates 1netween Western, eastern and central Can- adian cities. There are also sev- eral provincial diVisions of the Alssociation, which have separate executives and hold their own con- ventions each year. The next time you read in the masthead on the editorial page that The Liberal is a member of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association, you will know that this newspaper belongs to than As- sociation to make itself more pro- ficient in its task of serving; this community.

It may be the troubled state of international af- fairs has got people so worried and upset that they are glad to read a book which promises serenity und peace. There is no quick or magic way to peace, but I feel sure that one of the surest ways to happinPSS is by the path of humility. We cannot blame Charles Dickens for much of his writing, prolific though it vas, but it is unfortunate that he made ‘Uriah Heap’ a symbol of humility. Heap was a repugnant character, not really humble by hyprocriticial. He made himself a doormat, yet always claimed to be so humble that readers detest the man and all those like him. Yet true humility reminds one of the most Christlike of the vir- tues. The English novelist, J. B. Priestly, said recently that there is nothing in the world he so lesir- ed as to be a humble man in the sense in which Jesus used that word. Hitler and those associated with him hated humility and said it was a vice, not a virtue, and the Greeks a:mum“minimummmmnmmmmmmumuummnuummmg 15‘ nnIm\munummnnm\\lmunmummunnu1nnnmmuum\m\\\\ 3: and Romans of ancient times re- garded it as meaning mean and cowardly. If 9 Greek had called a main humble, it would have been considered an insult It meant some- thing low and grovelling; suited only to slaves. KNEW“!!! Our quotation today is by; Andrew Carnegie: “The secret" of happiness is renunciation." g Jesus gave the word a new meaning. To the ambitious go- getters of his day â€" all striving for power and prestige â€" Jesus put a child in their midst and said: “Whosoever shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the Kingdom of Heav- en." That must have surprised and exasperated the arrogant men of his day.

ARCHER in his kingdom, he said: "Who-o- ever will be grant among you, let him be your minister; and whose- ever will be chief among you, let him be your servant.” There is nothing which makes people more unhappy than an insis- tent attempt to “keep up with the Joneses”, or if possible, get ahead. It makes them perpetually miser- able because even when they suc- ceed they catch sight of somebody still ahead of them and that annoys them. The flippant and thoughtless may he arrogant, the truly great are humble and no teaching that urges the need for self-assertiveness makes us think otherwise. Some time ago an American magazine told of a group of young people who visted the home of Beethoven. One of them seated herself at the composer's piano and played sev- eral pieces. When she had finish- ed s‘he wheeled herself around in her seat and said to the guard: “I suppose a great many musicians visit this place?” “Yes,” he an- swered, “Paderewski was here last week.” “I suppose he too played on Beethoven's piano,” the girl said. “He did not," the guard re- plied, “he said he was not worthy.

When George Matheson, the Inâ€" mous blind hymn-writer, was min- ister of Innellan Church in Scot- land, visitOrs noticed that when he was reading from the Scriptures he turned his aightless eyes down to the Bible although he had commit- ted the lesson to memory. Asked why he did this, Matheson said he did not want to attract attention to himself when repeating Serio- ture. He wanted the people to think, not of him and *his infirmity, but rather of what he was read- ing; a sense of humility which al- ways characterized that famous man. ' Sometimes I think of the really happy people I have known, and I am sure that, without exception, they were humble. It seems to me that vanity and happiness cannot live in the same heart.
