m. liven . McCormick of nu Chadian Chamber of Commerce, Montreal, was the guest speaker at the annual banquet of the Sum merside Board of Trade last eve- ning. Mr. MoComlck in his open- ing remarks expressed his pleasure in being once more on Prince Ec. ward Island, which even in win- ter possessed for him a. distinct charm.

Referring to the put taken b] each Board of Trade in determin- ing the policy of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, . Mc- Cormick said the Chamber of Cdmmerce was in no sense il-CEII tral head office controlling the various Boards of Trade because the policy they work on is thlit each board has one vote, in de- ciding that policy, regardless of how large or small the Board is, and small communities, if they will just take the time, can make their voice heard as well as tne Board with the largest member-

snip.

JIM-speaker informed the meni-

ens present that on an issue to rie decid i by the Chamber, sixty per

ant of the replies received must be for or against the proposed pro- ject. Referring to the recent sur- vey made regarding the sale of oleomargariifi in Canada, just fifty-three per cent were in favo: and as a. result the Cham-ber of Commerce had no definite policy on the question. '

‘Mr. McCormick dealt with the various projects in which the Chamber of Commerce dealt and referred to one of the most suc- cessful of its endeavours, the pub- lication of the book. “The Com- munist Threat to Canada". Sixu thousand copies of the book hau been printed and it had been made as authentic as possible. No personal opinions were therein contained, just cold hard facts, and he believed that the book hits where it should hurt because the Communists had taken direct no- tlce of it by publishing a counter reply. “The Red Bogey."

Warns of Communism

Mr. McCormick warned his audience that “we iii Canada must beware of the Communists in uul midst. Kicking him out will do no good for he will be replaced by another."

The speaker reminded the mem- bers that few peopie in the Do- minion realize the terrible gamble of the Marshall plan and "we don't like to think what will hap- pen in Europe if this plan fails.‘

Russia. he said, will do all in her own power to stop the plan by spreading discontent. Com- munism feeds on discontent arid if they can stir up sufficient strife the Communists will win what no referred to as a "cold war."

Those forces, which are at work in Canada striving in change our way of life, will try to do so at the ballot box in the smaller communities at the crossroads. Here, the speaker claimed, was where the Boards of Trade can fray their part. Each in its own small community can vote on matters of Dominion-wide impor- tance, can make its voice heard ln the formation of national policies and in its own sphere can pro- vide the leodership that will even-

During the banquet there was a most enjoyable sing song, lad by Mr. Allison McLean, with Mr. Albert Huestis at the piario.

A very pleasing musical treat was enjoyed by the members in the choral singing of the pupils of the Summerside High School, under the direction of Miss Nellie Morrison.

Born in a oley cottage with s thatched roof. nlw known as Burns Cottlae. in Ayr. Scotland January 25. 1759. Burns was the eldest of poor but-frugal ants. Most of his education was received in the "Universityvof Hard Knocks." In early life the had the unique gen- ius of seeing beneath the surface of even the simplest things and events and the gift clear-- pressing his tllbllhid in charact- eristic long and verse.

Burns was brought up a Scottish Presbyterian and there is abundant evidence of his being "SBSSl0IlOd"l~! to his conduct. He discovered the deep things of God and man's ro- lation to God. whoJo him was very near and very real. He saw in the cotrmon eind very ordinary things of’ life and always in nature he saw til-ls work of God. the Creator and Maker of us all.
