A positive step to promote greater: trade between France and Canada hast come out of the Ottawa visit of Prime Min- ister Rene Mayer. It was agreed to establish a Franco-Canadian joint committee to work out details for a better balance of tradc between the two countres. At present, Pro- inler Mayer pointed out. imports of Cana- dian goods by France were greater than imports of French goods by Canada. The aim of the committee will be to develop a satisfactory balance of trade at a level cor- responding more fully to the productivr capacity of the two countries and the tra- ditional bonds between them.

During the Ottawa talks. according to A joint communique issued at their con-. clusion, there was an examination of thei general economic and financial problems ofi . today.

TEA(3llEllS' DIFAIIVANTAGES

Sir.-Only 1'rcc1i..; we celebrated Education Week acroS Canada. During that time a variety of tmagaziue articles, pamphlets, etc... linvaded the country. These art- . icles all had the same theme. They praised the teaching profession as the noblest on earth and con- ldcmned the conditions under ;which they work, particularly the lrural teacher, as deplorable. l, A short time ago after graduat- -ing from a local college as a lie- ienced teacher I embarked on a lrural teaching career. because this ifield has always appealed to me. I must admit that one nf the feat- iures which appealed to me was ithe 200 day working year which is pointed out. so often to the pros- ipectivc teacher as a point. of in- iducement. Unfortun-atel,v we fall to ,rcalizc that. the teacher is paid 1only on clays for which she actual- ily teaches. All holidays, regardless if they fall on a week day or not. are considered by the Department tas days when the teacher stops eating, etc. Of course, our board has to be paid just the same. The

features. It Nazism for what it. was, and

was easy to see its very deviltry made it easier to light. Communism is different. It has some commendable featursc. It practises racial equality. The poor have a better chance. All classes are getting educaction. But its attractive features con- stitulc its greatest danger. It at- tracts the poor. Its promises fool people who have heen under- privileged. That. great Chinese na- tion that has fallen for Commun- ism havc found themselves under a harsh tyranny far worse than they ever knew before. The Rus- sian promises are so glowing and their methods so deceitful that they constitute a grave danger to all pftnr people who are the great majority of mankind. We are rightly set with all our resources against. the spread of this per- nicious sy stem.

Quite right. to be greatly con-

cerned over this menace to our frecdoni. and spending our hil- lions to guard against it; but why are ur so little alarmed over this other enemy that

doing us more harm than even Communism is likely to do us. and (lay and night, openly and secretly this enemy Number One. is doing his devilish work all. ever our country. This cncmy

within our gates has fooled more than a thousand times more peo- ple than Russian propaganda. I knew an old doctor once in Nova Scotia and a good doctor, who was fooled by alcohol and

average teacher ls, therefore. idrawlng pay for only 200 days of

pine year. This leaves I65 days or

nearly one half year that. the teacher does not make one red cent unless she has some other

means of income.

Now IN us follow the teacher as

she begins teaching. How many of your readers have been employed in an office with its comfortable desks, modern equipment and everyday comforts taken so for granted. Compare this with the teacher's lot and conditions under which she has to work. The maj- nrlty of country schools are pitiful- ly undersupplled. In all fields of employment an employee has only to report to work and find every- thing at hand, but not the teacher. She has to begin subscribing at. once to teachers' aid magazines, supply hcctographs, buy exercise books. etc. Compare this with an rmploycc in the business world who docsirt. even have to buy her i0Wll ptfntzll, t Then there is the matter of prizes. All rural teachers are called .upon to offer a variety.of prizes to imducc the pupils to study. These ,prizes which come to no little iamouni are to -be paid from the teacher's own pocketbook. Can you immune any other job where an employee would be asked to pass out her hard earned money to the public? Why are provisions not. made b.V the school boards to sup- ;l1l.V these necessities? surely they icen afford it. as well as the teach- er.

l i some of the trustees are quite l.F.)'l'l'IplllllFtlC. They inform the i teacher that money has been voted lfor supplies: then unless she beats a path to their door ”begglng" for them to purchase much needed Iartlcles. they promptly forget. about iii, and in the end the money goes to some cause considered more Im- portant.

The Dux-pose of this letter is not to discredit. the teaching profes- sion. I maintain that It. is, "In lt- self." the finest career open but. I think all prospective teachers ahouid have the inside picture of conditions in the majority of rural schools.

) Until the government seen fit. to raise the salary of the teachers

supply the very bu-eat necessltlca to their schools. there will be a greater decrease of teachers in the next few years than this Provlnre has ever realized. I am. Sir. etc. AN EX-TEACHER TO BE r0MMUNI3M AND THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC Sir, -We are quite rightly con- cerned about Communism.

Why in heaven's name are wel so concerned enemy and so complacent this iworsc one? i

WIi,v'! Because liquor poses as 'a friend. A dmuizht of Commun- ism does not give quick stim- ulation, so--felt and R superiority complex that can drive a car better than any one else on the road. And further, it does not yield the handsome dividends that the brewers get out of the liquor traffic. Liquor has always had I mcsmeric power to fool and to deceive. The brewers, the sellers, the drinkers are all its dupes. because they are led to imagine thnt this mysterious. illusive thing called alcohol is a safe and wholesome drink. In the very long ago ll man, noted for his wisdoni, said: "Look not upon the wine when it. is red. when it giveth its color in the cup, when it. moveth itself aright. At. the last it bitelh like a serpent and stlngeth like an adder."

How long are the Christian people of Canada going to allow the ravages of this destroyer of life and prosperity to continue? A combination of devout. and de- termined Christians could put a stop to it.
