KE-rURN TO THRIFT A Wroni; Syctem Tae spending of public money by Provincial and Dominion govern- menta continues without ref^ard to the taxpayer who provider the mon- ey. Recently the Mackenzie King government announced two new post offices for Bruce County villages. No doubt these new buildings will be welcome additions to the main streets of the places in question, and no doubt they are as entitled to them as other places are. On the inland lakes and ocean ports addi- tions and improvements are made to harbours and wharfs. Where and when is this spending going to stop? It is a problem for ti^e people to decide, but they fail to think about the matter and let their representa- tive go ahead and bring into the riding all the public money they can secure. It is a wrong and vicious system. The Toronto Conference of the United Church of Canada at their recent meetings passed the following resolution that, if acted upon, would soon bring down taxation in Canada: "We believe that only a solvent state can adequately maintain the welfare of its people, tvecognizing that many of the financial difficult- ies of Canada are due to the im- moral practices of governments who Use public money to win popular support, we would urge that gov- ernments must realize that they are trustees of the nation's finances. We would ask for recognition in all government policy of the fact that the ultimate basis of government is moral and that the bribing of the people with public money, the fail- ure of governments to maintain con- tracts, the unwise administration of public funds, the desire to spend mon- far beyond the nation's ability to pay, spells ruin." (Orangeville Banner) Many plans are advanced for re- ducing taxes, lessening the cost of living and improving conditions gen- erally. Few of these suggest a re- turn to the old-fashioned practice of thrift. It was this thrift in private living and public administration that carried the pioneer settlers of Ontar- io through the difficult period in which they lived. Had they been ex- travagant in the use of their modest means they must have failed. Had they been careless or thriftless in management they would have been forced to pay severe penalties. Much of the taxation and the high cost of living with which present day Canadi- ans are burdened is due to extrava- gance, management and wastefulness. >Vhat is badly needed is a re- turn, in some degree at least, to the old-fashioned thrift of our forefath- ers.

Educational meetings which have been attended by officials, weed inspectors and interested citizens have been held in every district of Ontario, '^eed inspectors have been told to be firm in enforcing the Weed Control Act and to use good judgment in all their dealings with the public. However, to be successful, the cam- paign must have the enthusiastic backing of every householder and farmer, officials pointed out. Judg- ing by the interest displayed and the letters received by the Department of ARrieulture, weeds will be fighting n losing battle this year, with com- plete eradication the goal of the De- partment. One neglected patch or plant this year may lead to serious infestation next year. Careless and indifferent citizens can do much to undo all the good work of their neigh- bors in fighting the weed menace. A weed inspector needs the assist- ance of every individual. Give him your support. Make your commun- ity free of weeds. They are enemies to aerlrulture. public health and to the lucrative tourist business of On- tario. Weeds have no place In a progressive community. Prevent them from croing to seed. Everv weed destroyed means the death of thousands of weed seeds. Will vou. Mr. Citizen, niease do vonr ohnre in this worthwhile cam- naiirn? .A local lady says her husband is not a hit like Adam.
