HUMANITY'S ACCEPTANCE of war as
an inevitable occurrence in the life of
nations has led te the creation of huge
standing armies. Instead of declining, de-
fence costs are rising year by year.

The United States is now spending
more than $70-billion annually on de-
fence, and the Soviet Union is not far
behind.

if the defense expenditure of all
other nations are edded, the grand total
adds up to around $200 billion a year
spent by the world on troops, their
weapons, equipment and other related
needs.

Canada, although a peace-loving
nation, also has its defence burdens.

Defence spending in Canada is run- —

In favor of motherhood?

But in this crazy era of the rat race
and the hydragen bomb, there are even
greater strains on mothers. The over-
crowding of our mental homes is
adequate’ evidence of the
pressures that our affluent society puts

increasing

Few mothers today confine their
duties to pressing a couple of buttons
to complete the day's chores. Many of
them work to bring in a second income
which is the family's onlv chance of sur-
vivel in these days of sky-rocketing

They have to worry about their

job ond their children’s

They have to cape with a saciety
whose moral values seem to have oozed
down the gutter. And while frank dis-
cussions over radio and TV about proms-
cuity, abortion, birth control, and just’
plain good old sex may testify to the
broadmindedness of society, it does put
a strain on parents who are trying to
offer their children a decent sense of

A mother today, young, midle-aged
or Jd, has a real job to do.

We think that the job is worthy of
some kind of salute. For the record, we're
in favor of motherhood.

Army of peace-keepers

will continue to grow. In this respect
there is one positive aspect in Canadian
defence spending.

Emerging in Canada is an army of
nien with wide experience not so much
at making war but at keeping the peace.
Canada's role as a peacekeeper pioneer
is already well known around the world,
and should be developed further as
rapidly as possible.

Too often, the vast sums spent on
defence are wasted, The guns become
old-fashioned and the equipment rots,
But if Canada can develop a sense of
mission among its officers and men, a
real pride in their task of keeping the
peace in such areas as Cyprus, the Gaza
strip and in tension-filled regions of

It's true our government is
acting to place curbs on hate
literature and punish those
who stir up animosity against
peoples of different races,
creeds and colers. But, in the
main, this is negative. Suppres-
sing hate is one thing; the
fostering of a warm, outgoing
feeling of brotherhood for
every human being regardless
of his origin is a much more
rewarding and, perhaps, a
much more difficult undertak-
ing. Campbellton (N.B.)

TRADING IN THE DARK

Employee, consumer and vot-
er ignorance of how the bus-
iness system works is a
vitally important matter in a
free market economy. The
choices they must make,
whether as a ution member
voting on a strike, or as a voter
deciding which political leader
he will support, are often based
on inadequate knowledge of
the basic principles underlying
our business system. —- Stan-

SOME OF THE GooD
THINGS we noticed throughout
the community this week were
the golden forsythia bushes in
full blossom at the Fred Smith
residence on The Bench; the
smoother than usual condition
of municipal streets in The
Bench area; the numerous new
and very. attractive homes in
our town and the sharp looking
vocational schoof. It looks al-
most ready for action. Now if
someone will please tell us
when, and remind us once
again as to what the vocational

turiculum will include...

SOME OF THE GOOD
THINGS we noticed included
the murky pall of smoke from
the continuing plague of grass
fires in the community: the de-
plorable manner in which some
of our unladylike citizens muck.

OTTAWA, — For months, in

administration, political peo-

1957 — the first for the Tories

‘swept 208 of Parliament’s 265

Short of a miracle, Dief is
