The questions followed quick- ly, the main one being whether Dr. Rodgers had found a ï¬nan- cial "angel" to underwrite the trip.

Dr. Rodgers will soon end his tenth year as head of that fac- ulty and as conductor of the Adehphian Con-cert Choir, which is singing 12 concerts in Eng- land, Scotland and Ireland on its current visit. The news that the Adelphians would not be going to Pocatello, Idaho; Modesto, California; Win- nemucca.

Representatives from the Anglican, Baptist, Presbyterian and United Churches are co-operating in the school and a commit- tee has been appointed by the Thornhill-Richmond Hill Ministerial Association. Be- cause the committee did not feel the regular promot- ional literature quite suit- able, a project has been started among the inter- mediate Sunday School children of the area to make posters advertising the school. The facts presented on the posters must be read- able, but all other pictures and decorations are left to the discretion of the indi- vidual designers. The pos- ters are to appear in June. The United Church has de- cided to produce 10 posters. with the help of senior Sun- day school students. The vacation school will be held from July 9th to the 19th at Holy Trinity Church.

Let's Get Canada Moving Again The influential US. ï¬nancial magazine Barron’s this year said: “Canada’s Conservative govern- ment for more than four years has adopted one misguided economic and ï¬scal policy after an- other.†The indecision, mal-administration and the lack- ing initiative of the present Conservative govern- ment in Ottawa has cost Canada 300,000 jobs and 14 billion dollars in lost production, based on the rate of growth Canada had developed prior to 1957. That works out to an economic slowdown of $3,000. a family or $800. per person . . . or $100,000,000 a week and $10,000 a minute. A lot of slowdown. Bungling, Self-Contradiction In the April 7 issue of Maclean’s Magazine, Peter Newman, its Ottawa correspondent writes: “After nineteen months of ministerial bungling, complicated by prodigious self-contradiction and genuine uncertainty, the Diefenbaker government has at last come up with a trade policy toward the European Common Market." Then Mr. Newman adds: “The Canadian plan amounts to little more than a belated bow to the bold initiative of President Kennedy's trade ex- pansion act." From Slowdown to Speedup ' The Liberal Party of Canada which governed in Canada's most prosperous times, is determined to change the slowdown to e. speedup in the eco onomy. John Addison, as a. member of a. Liberal Government will put every effort into helping to create such prosperous conditions. He himself is a. successful businessman who can lend an energetic hand and a knowing mind to this eo- onomic situation. But, our exports have been lagging. Our whole economy has been drifting. While Europe . . . devastated by the war . . . has been moving forward with seven-league strides, this country once called “Tomorrow’s Giant†has been oper- ating like a weakling. In the years after the last war, when Canada. reached full maturity as a nation, this country established itself as a leader among the middle nations and a major influence on the great powers. It also knew an unprecedented prosperity. A heavy volume of this resulted from foreign trade. Canada has always been an exporting nation. Without exports, this country would wither and dry up economically. Every individual in the nation beneï¬ts and proï¬ts from our external trade. ~ PUT YORK NORTH BACK ON THE MAP (lauded by the York North Miami Ansel-um)
