As From Today ...

i Today's flag raising ceremonies at Ottawa and across the country will serve to underline, in a colorful man- her. an order which has been sent i the Department of National De- ense to all Canadian. military estab- Lighments at home and overseas. The order makes mandatory, as from to- day‘at noon, the flying by the Cana- dian arnied forces of the red maple- flag in place of the present adlian red and blue ensigns and the service ensigns wherever these flags are now flown and displayed. , Merchant ships, and ships of the ~ C@imadian Coast Guard, have also been ordered to fly the new flag in- the red ensign. It will be per colors to fly-ash

had an average net Income:or 910,108 which was about 6 per cent below the parity-income standard estab- lished. The second group, number- ing 594,000, had average gross sales of between $10,000 and $20,000 a year, and a net average income of $6,207, about 27 per cent below parity of income. A final group of 609,000 had an average net income of $3,371, about 75 per cent below’ parity income .

The economists figure it would take an increase of 169 per cent to

bring the 1.5 million low-income—

farmers up to parity of income. These farmers, in some cases, may need better credit opportunities to enlarge operations, become more ef- ficient and earn parity income. Most, however. will sooner or later be forced off the land.

Noted in this connection is the fact that the commercial operator benefits more from the Federal Gov- ernment’s price and income support programs because he gains stability through the program and can ef- ficiently gear his operations to a market with a stable price.

The lew-income farmer, on the other hand, does not have the out- put volume necessary to take full ad- vantage of the price-support pro- gram, although he does benefit be- cause of stable prices and gains in- come by selling directly to the Gov- ernment rather than using the price- support program :to move some of his products to open market.

We place no such restrictions on people in other fields of en- deavor. There is nothing to pre- vent business or industry, or example, from “raiding” Mani- toba graduates; and, even. in the professions, it is possible to move from one province to an- other. It should not be other- wise with teachers. If the pro- vincial government contributes to teacher education, it contri- butes no less to all educaétion— and it does so with no strings at- tached.

Moreover, if, as the trustees claim, teachers salaries in Manitoba are adequate and tea- ching conditions attractive, there should »e no need for the proposed restriction — and no fear of “raiding.”

Officials of the USTAM are quick to point out that there is nothing official about the stand. they have taken. It is neither ex- ecutive nor association policy as yet. All they want to do is open the subject for discussion. But even this deserves no commem- dation. Restriction of movement along the lines they suggest has no place in a free society.

Several years ago, a patient of mine insisted on amputation because of severe arthritis of the foot. It was a drastic rem- edy, but he found that an arti- ficial limb was more comfort- able than his deformed arthrit- ie foot.

Arthritis of the foot is a com- mon disabling disease. The con- dition is no different from arth- ritis elsewhere, except that the victim traumatizes the painful joint every time he stands and walks. The bony arch spreads on bearing weight;. involvement of the big toe may be so serious that pain and stiffness prevent the completion of a step These troubles are multiplied when the individual is overweight.
