Winston Churchill will ever be known as the man who has been able, in the fewest number of words, to express the real and vital issues that have been at stake in the varied crises that have arisen in modern times. Once again he states very concisely some seven tests for true PAGE TWO Is t.htre the right to free expression of opinion of opposition and criticism of the government of the day?

How many countries can truly measure up to these standards laid down by Britain‘s former Prime Minister? Outside of the Englishâ€" speaking democracies, there are not more than four or five nations who can. His apt yardstick indicates only too clearly the long road that still lies ahead to universal freedom, despite the tremendous price that has already been paid in Europe. Here and there in the countryside of old Ontario, one still comes across the stump fence. It is an awesome thing, its greyâ€"black arms held starkly aloft to form a weird pattern against the horizon. It is a ghostly survival of a bygone era, bearing tragic witness to the magniâ€" ficent forests which once overlaid the rich lands of Southern Ontario. To the old settlers who built the stump fences, the forests were an enemy, a nuisance and an obstacle to farming. Their descendants do not build stump fences. There are not enough trees to make them practicable. As barriers, stump fences were effective enough, but they wasted a good deal of valuable space which a modern farmer would prefer to cultivate. , Ferices are a good ilRM@stration to the phenomenal range of the | imagination. Fences around properties are necessary and inevitable, but considering the narrow limits of their use, there is an amazing variety in their form. In some farming districts stone fences are comâ€" mon. They are a monument to a tremendous amount of labor. Though not so picturesque as stump fences, they possess the beauty of perâ€" manence. Rail fences are another survival of the clearing era. Many a young man, less famous than Abraham Lincoln, earned an honest living laboriously splitting logs into slim sections. There are many types of rail fence. Some are zigzag; some are straight; some are supported by crossed rails; some make a cross between upright posts. They go by picturesque names; worm fences, snake fences, stakeâ€"andâ€" rider, postâ€"andâ€"rail, and so on. Farm fences these days are likely to be made of wire. When inâ€" stalled and properly kept, they are neat and efficient. More than a fad is the latest development of wire fence; a single strand charged with a mild electric current. For pastures it is popular and effective. Town fences run to pickets. There too, there is a great variety of design. Hedges seem to be less common than they once were, perhaps because of a lack of patience, or available skill, to keep them trimmed. There is a peculiar appeal in a living fence. It is a pity there are not more hedges. ' Fences mean exclusion, but they also mean security. ‘They put limhits on things. When they are bad fences, they can reveal a very unpleasant personal relationship. Most people have seen a "spite fence" â€"high and solid, shutting off light and air, and radiating mutual hatred. A good fence, well made, mutually respected, is a valuable posâ€" session. Far from producing friction, itâ€"eliminates it In fact, as Robert Frost, the American poet, observed: "Good fences make good neighbors." It is not the only factor, but a vital oneâ€"Globe and Mail.
