,Y.M.C.A: Centennial

One ltundrcd years of service with youth throughout the world will be coittpleted by the Y. M. C. .~\. this year. Canadian observance of the centennial ivill be held in Montreal early in June, according to an announcement by Pres- ld0lll L. ti. Slia\v of the National Council of the Lair "n1 Y. M. C. .\.

This is an important eveitt in many ways. The Y. .\l. C. A. was founded in London, England, by George Williams, a 23-year-old drygoods clerk, as a society "for the improvement of the rillfllllill coitdiiitni of young iiicti engaged in iIic ilrapcry tiadc" Soon it lJl‘t>2It_l_t‘ll€tl its programme to include educational and athletic ' a-ities. Seven \c.us alter the futinding of the a Canailiaii fishing .l..(llltlllll saw “ha: \\ illiains- ivas iliiing tiierc, and returned to Can- aila to launch a ltindrvtl orgziiiizatitiii in Mon- treal. Today tlic Y. .\l. C. .\. operates in sixty- eight countries. lts twelie original members have gronn to many millions.

ln evcry country the “Y." has bccome a nat- innnl inovcincnt of the itcoplc, rather than re- iintinitig a "lorcigrn" enterprise. The various llillltlllill movements form a federation \vitli headquarters in lleiieva, Switzerland.

.\ striking ilitistration of the prestige enjoyed by the organizatipn was furnished by a recent news itczn from .\'cw York, quoting officials at international headquarters as stating that the Japanese Government will permit the Y. H. C. A. to conduct “general welfare activities" among American, British and Dutch prisoners of war in Japan and occupied Chin".

Instead of glorifying past achievements of the Y. M. C. A, the forthcoming centennial occas- ion will form the basis of a Canada-wide study of Y. M. C. A. policies as the “Y” enters its second century. Right now it is serving Cau- adian men in uniform in more than 60o places. Helping soldiers in returning to civilian lite, eti- abling youngsters to live normal lives in abnor- mal times, providing relief and comfort for the distressed peoples of many lands, and bringing about a better tiuderstanzling betwccti all nat- ions through its world-wide organizatitm, are among its laudable objectives. '

Health

The Government will introduce a Health Iti- lurance bill at the coming session of Parliament, with the intention of having it passed and brought into effect this year, according to the ttztawzt correspondent of the Winnipeg Free Press. The plan is understood to be one 0f pro- vincial health lllbt-Ta-IICC, and expanded provin- cial health services, with the leadership and large financial assistance of the Dominion. Accept- ance by the provinces of the standards laid down hy tlic Dominion with respect to medical service and public health service, will be the condition on which the proposed federal aid will be granted. The new government bill will dif- fer from that introduced last session for pur- puscs of discussion, in that there will be a large tritiisfereiice of the financial obligation from the provinces to the Dominion. This alone will enable the Prairie and Maritime provinces to co- operate iri the scheme.

Apparently it is to be a real itisiirauce sys- lPill. with contributions from the citizen, from his employer and from the government, and not the Marsh plan of free medical service for all. The re-ivriting of the financial clauses is said to be the chief difference between the new hill

Insurance w.

of Parliament early this year. The latter pro- vided’ for insurance of every adult Canadian and contributions from all at the flat rate of 50 "m5 Pct Week ($25 a war) except for those in ibr low income groups, who paid less or nothing at all.

Each province will administer its own scheme through a commission to be set up. The cost of health insurance for childrcn will be paid by the giwrruiticiits. This \\'lll incliidr dental service, nhirh will lie expanded as more ilcntists are available. The instirerl will be able to choose their doctors and flit-latter will be paid for their services by the provincial government according to rates to be fixed. These. at least. were fea- hirrs of thr- formcr bill which seem likely to be fnlloi-uerl for the most part.

to a Cheese

Xot long sincc in Perth, county’ seat of Lan- ark County in liasteru Ontario, a statue was unveiled to the memory of the world's biggest cheese, relates the Toronto Telegram. This giant replica of what ivas 50 years ago a seven- tl:1_v \\itll-l(’l', in (httario. in Chicago and in Lon- don, ling-hind, nas (‘rt-civilncartht-LZYTR.tracks ‘It l'crth by the l..'lllfll'l\' tfounty Cheese Produc- ris lssociatirin and commemorates the actual thrcsc itself which was manufactured 50 years ago and brought so niuch fame tn the cheese- tinakini; industry of lhilztrin.

dar cheese producing country, and the ensuing decade proved the greatest producing and ex- porting years this country ever has seen, be-

duced, most of which was exported.

The cheese was sent to the Exposition by special train and it crashed through the floor of the building while being moved from the car to the space prepared for it. There was no refrig- eration for it and the chase underwent a sev- ere test, standing for six months under a glass roof in a temperature which at times reached 90 above. Nevertheless, it was awarded the Ex- position diploma and bronze medal.

Subsequently it went to London, England, where it was acquired by a caterer, Jubal Webb, who cut it up with considerable ceremony in the spring of i894, notables present including Sir Charles Tupper, Canada's high commissioner, who later became prime minister.

Two of the chceseniakers who helped in pro- ducitig the Mammoth were at the monument un- veiling.

.- EDITORIAL NOTES .-

Dr. I. D. MacGtiigan, who has just retitrucd from t\lilllll'Cill, states that the explanation of the glut in the Christmas tree iiiarltet there was that the sellers demanded too high a price to begin with and hy the time they came to their senses, the market was gone. 'l"hcre is a tiioral in this for others who may think they, itidiviilual- ly and collectively‘, coittrol the law ofistipply and demand.

Feast of Epiphany, or Twelfth Day, com- memorating the showing of Jesus to the Magi; is first alluded to by tilcnient of Alcxaiitlria as observed by the Basilidians 0f Egypt about I94 A.D.; as late as 385, Jan. 6 was observed in Bethlehem; inithe Oriental Churches Epip- hany still retains its early connection wtith bap- tism and the blessing of the waters; in the Ar- inciiian Church children are generally baptized at this date.

It is estimated that 400,000 men and probably at least 100,000 women have left the farms since i939, so Arthur McNamara, deputy minister of Labor and director, National Selective Service, told the Dominion-Provincial Agricultural Con- ference which met recently in Ottawa. Tens of thousands of young farmers are serving on the battle fronts. Thousands of others went with munitions factories during the first two years of the war when it was so yital that fighting wea- pons be supplied in ever increasing volume.

The executive board of the Canadian hier- archy, on behalf of the Roman Catholic arch- bishops and bishops of Canada. has created permament secretariat with headquarters in Ot- tawa. The permament secretariat, decided upon Dee, r5, i943, will have two joint secretaries, one French-speaking and one English-speaking. Msgr. Paul Bernier, C.S., chancellor of the Que- bec Archdiocese, has been appointed French- spealcing secretary. The appointment of an English-speaking secretary is expected in a short time. u a s- w

The C.B.C and Ontario Hydro, which are corporations owned by Governments, com- peting with private companies, do not pay Do- minion taxes. This question of Government owned companies and taxation is a most import- ant one and should be a most important ques tion for all associations of business men. This is especially the case since Mr. Justice Donovan, Manitoba, has ruled that the Canadian \Vhcat Board is also a corporation separate from the Government, and capable of suing and being sued like any other business.

Nobody-wcll, hardly anybody-expects the Mackenzie King Government to be re-elccted- not even some itiembers of the Government themselves, who are now seemingly manoeuvring for graceful retirement from place and power. This, of course, is due, not so nuich to any great changes of views in the English speaking pro- vinces, though these also count, but to the col- lapse of the Party's representation in Quebec. The last straw seems to be the rumour that the Hon. P. j. A. Cardin, ex-Minister of Public ‘Works, has aligned himself with the Duplessis- itcs to head a strong Nationalist Party in hither- to solid Quebec. . O U l

Mr. R G. Fulton, Chairman of the New Brunswick Liquor Control Board, formally re- tired on pension at the end of the year after sixteen years service and was the recipient of a farewell address and leather upholstered chair from the memocrs of his staff a‘ Fredericton. The address said in part: “As you enter upon a period of well earned release from public duties, you have merited the satisfaction of knowing that the public iii general realize that you have conducted these duties in a highly thorough and efficient mannen. ..Y0ur record of service will live as an inspiration and example to all of tis— a record all admire and the worthy will emulate." l\lr. Fulton was formerly Chairman of the Pro- hibition Commission in this Province.

The City Council is headed for additional ex- penditures, and will ticed wise heads to direct it in the years ahead of us. The School Board has been interviewing architectural and electrical experts ivith regard to school reconstruction and improved lighting. Those who have given these ntatters thought are convinced that our schools are sorely otiI-of-datc and must be remodelled or rebuilt to be brought into line with modem requirements. Then the different service clubs are moving for the provision of public, super- vised playgrounds for different parts of the city, most desirable, btit ticccssarily costing ad- ditional expenditure on the part of the city. A civic election is approaching, and it would be wcll for the Citv Council to join hands with the School Board for the purpose of devising plans and preparing estimates, together with sug- gcslions how the money could be borrowed, to raise this capital of "the healthiest Island in the
