Dominion Day

On July 1, 1867, when the British North America Act went into force, it included only the four'charter provinces, Nova Sco- tia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario. Canada then began at Cape Breton and ended on the west of the Great Lakes. Between the Great Lakes and the Rocky Mountains stretched the vast region known as Rupert's Land, governed by the Hud- the Rockies to the shores of the Pacific Ocean lay the isolated but growing province of British Columbia. The Dominion then em- braced an area of 662,148 square miles and

son's Bay Company; and between

a population numbering three millions. To-

day within our far-flung frontiers is an area of nearly four million square miles

and a population verging upon fifteen mil- lions. Prince Edward Island did not come into

Confederation until July 1, 1873, but it was

very much in the limelight by reason of the Charlottetown Conference of Septem- ber, 1864; and we take pride in showing visitors that it was here, in our Provincial Building, that the Confederation Fathers first met and the idea of a Dominion stretching from shore to shore came to birth. Along with our sister Maritime Provinces, we made sacrifices for the larger union for which we have never hilly been compensated. But we have remained faithful to its objectives, and certainly have no desire at this late date to sever our Confederation ties. Rather, we look for- ward with confidence in participating in the great future which lies in store. It was said that the 20th century would be- long to Canada and that prediction is in a fair way of being fulfilled. As we look back over the past, and forward to the future, it is indeed with justifiable pride that we proclaim ourselves Canadians.

A Call To Action

Important discussions, by men of out- standing repute in their fields, have featur- ed the Atlantic Regional Conference of the Canadian Association of Adult Education at St. Dunstan's University this week. Ed- uoation in its broadest sense includes every activity associated with the wellbeing of our people. The emphasis at the conference has properly been placed upon economic as well as cultural problems, and particularly upon matters affecting the interests of our major Maritime industries such as agricul- ture, fisheries and lumbering. The Assoc- iation of Adult Education is an unofficial body; it cannot formulate policies for gov- ernments or other organizations, but its unbiased views can be of great value in de- veloping public opinion and providing background information for the more effective planning of community programs of all kinds.

The main topic of this year's third biennial conference has been "Looking ahead in the Atlantic Provinces", and the whole emphasis has been on the tremend- ous possibilities which the future holds in store. Coordinated action is essential if these prospects are to be realized. We now have the machinery for such action in the Atlantic Provinces Economic C o u n c i 1, which has been described by a conference speaker as "the first concrete movement made by the people of the Atlantic Provin- ces to better conditions for themselves as a whole." A note of warning, however, was sounded to the effect that if this Council does not recehwe the enthusiastic support of all concerned it will "die within six months," and it will be difficult indeed to revive the initial interest which inspired its formation. We are, in short, at a turn- ing pqlnt in our economic development. It is important to Canada as a whole as well as to ourselves that we take full advan- tage of the opportunity.

A Delegation from Moscow

About a year ago the British Council of Churches invited leaders of the Russian Orthodox Church and of other Churches in the Soviet Union to send a representa- tive delegation to Britain. At the time the general opinion of the British religious press was that the Russians would be pre- vqnud by the Soviet Government from gig trip; and, when nothing was hesrdfronitnen-forqulteelonstitmn ' V ” I t the invitation

difficult to say-perhaps it won't do any.

who can say that it will not help in some small way to further the cause of peace in the world? Certainly, it cannot do any harm; for the British people have enough

fear of a casual visitor from a Communist country, even though he might be disposed to talk politics as well as religion.

An Interesting Report

The 120th annual report of the Sea- men's Church Institute of New York, which has the distinction of being the largest "shore home" in the world for active merchant seamen, contains some interest- ing information. It says, for example, that in 1954, when the American Merchant Marinels active fleet declined by 1072:, merchant seamen took 261,203 lodgings at the Institute, a drop of only 193 from the year before. This, in the opinion of Dr. Raymond S. Hall, the director of the Institute, "indicates a build-up of unem- ployment pressure within the marine lab- our force, whose job opportunities have de- creased by nearly 5074; since 1952." While the Institute's revenue providing services, such as hotel and restaurant, declined, the demand on its personal and social services was greater. "This", commented Dr. Hall, "is a pattern we have seen before. Unem- ployment and uncertainty create additional problems."

It is questionable whether ment, as a rule, helps to encourage intel- lectual activity; but the Institute's Joseph Conrad Library reported a 10'7n increase in the use of its facilities and "many more serious readers". Technical books on im- port-export trade and commercial art were among those in popular demand.

Started originally by a missionary so- ciety, the work of the Institute was car- ried on fqr-many years by a system of "floating chapels". Gradually these gave way to the establishment of shore quarters in which lodging could be provided to off- set the bad influence of waterfront board- ing houses. The present 13 story building was completed in 1912.

"SEEK YE FIRST . . .

Sir. - Undoubtedly some theor- ies of progress and plecedence are as potent for evil as would he an injection of poison into the blood stream. It would be un- just to say anything like that a- bout the ponderous treatise with the aid of which we have of late been trying to light up some of lite dark spots in history: for In spite of the fact that its myth- ological assumptions are some- what. irritating, it is a remark- able work and remains one of the most interesting and infor- mative hybrid historical narra- tives We have read. However, it can hardly be classified as an epitome - the pity is - of the deepest wisdom.

It is altogether reasonable that the historian as well as his read- er should settle satisfactorily in his own mind his answer to the following question:

What is the highest type of civ- ilizatlon?

(l) ls it that whose object a- bove all is to offer the most var- ied and greatest numbe of elec- tronic push-button, self-help gad- gets available to everyone at the lowest cost of production and dis- tribution?

(2) Or that which places the emphasis on the establishment of institutions dedicated to the in- tellectual development of the hu- man mind. i.e. a modernized form the ancient Greek ”noetic" idcal?

(3) Or again is it that structure whose upholding pillars rest on a foundation of moral responsibility? In comparing civilizations-their rise, growth, and decline - your answer to these questions will color your interpretation of his- tory, Our understanding will de- pend not so much on our know- ledge of a complex network of strains and stresses, and the im- pact of blind forces operating in nature and in environment; but in our sense of proportion,- and our knowledge of the quality of leadership and its ability to in- spire this or that. desirable or un- desirable, response or reaction. The Great Leader Himself has proclaimed the highest ideal of civilization in the words:

"Seek ye first the kingdom d God and all these things shall be added unto thee."

Canada's growing army of tax- payers share in an 385,000,000 re- duction July 1 an federal rates on personal incomes fall to a five-year

W.

But for the average worker. the drop may be barely noticeable.

The reason is that the reduction is being sliced 3.&)0,000 different ways- a cut for each taxpayer.

But despite the snip, income earn- ers will be contributing an estim- ated sl,l50.000,000 in personal In- come tax to the federal treasury this year.

The taxpayers, whose ranks have swelled by 1.600.000 in the last six years. also will be paying many millions in indirect taxes - sales and excise-on a myriad of con- sumer and other goods.

STIMULATE ECONOMY

The July cut was announced by Finance Minister Harris in his April 5 budget, despite prospects of a 3l60,000,000 deficit for the 1955-56 fiscal year. This and other reductions apparently were aimed at stimulating the economy which now is rising from a 1054 reces- slon.

The tax cut, which in a way will boost purchasing power in the hands of consumers. will be the governments third consecutive an- nual slicing of personal income tolls. It will reduce the average tax to the lowest-point since 1950. But for people in the 83,000 sal- ary bracket it will amount to only about 40 to 50 cents a week if pro- jected over a full year, and only one-half that amount for 1055.

The reduction, as announced by to

Mr. Harris, ranges from 13.8 per cent for those making 32,500 or 33,000 a year to 3.7 per cent for those in the 8100.000-a-year income

It averages about 10 per cent for a full year. but only one-half that percentage, for 1955 since it

ter part of the year. SOMI EXAMPLE!

Here are a few examples of what Canadians in various incomes will pay in the 1955 tax year:

The payment for a single man with no dependents maklnl 33.000 a year will drop to 3340, down 33) from 1954 and 840 from 19535 it will be the lowest payment since 3320 in 1050, and compares with the wartime 1945 toll of 8791.

In the same income category. a married man with two children will pay :112 this year, down 37 from 1954 and 814 from 1953. It flee will be the lowest since the 310 in 1050.

A little more noticeable are the changes in higher income brack- ets. A single man making 310,000 a year and with no dependents will pay SLIJM in 1955, down Ml from l96iandS235from19.'o8.ltwillbe :3; lowest since the 32.15! paid in

A married man with two chil- dren in the same income bracket will pay 31,563 this year. down 3'17 from 1954 and 0101 from 1053. It also will be the lowest since 1048.

If the current rates continue all through 1956, there will be further savings. The levies against the 810,- 000-a-year single man will drop by another wit to 31.340, while charges against the yslngle man earning 83.03;, will decline by another 11)
