Good advice to graduating classes is offer- ed in the current Royal Bank Bulletin, which warns that graduation is only the end of a phase. The greater part.of life lies ahead. Every year some 150,000 young Canadians search for open- ings in the 20,000 or more different types of voca- tions we have in Canada.

There are no greater tragedies than those brought about by merely "drifting into jobs. Young people who fail to choose a life activity which gives them a purpose and provides them with sat- isfactory self-expression are like Carlyle’: un- happy people: "No landmark on the Earth; no dodesiar in the Heaven."

Youths are inclined too often to seize upon the best paying job of the moment, without ask- ing themselves, "Will it give me satisfaction?" As a consequence, they find themselves in dead-end jobs, disgruntled with life, and frustrated in thcir desire for self-expression.

Men and women are needed today, and the demand will be equally great ten years from to- day, who are prepared to do a good job, but that preparedness does not just grow. Business exe- cutives know only too well how often they have had good position; go begging for trained men and women, simply because there are so many who lore' unwilling to qualify on their own initi- ative.

There is an old saying to the affect that the small man wastes his time looking for big oppor- tunities, while the great man uses his time taking advantage of the little ones as they come.

But Canada does not put on undue prem- ium on higher education. The lad who leaves high school to work has his opportunities, and, after all, Shakespeare, Burns, Carlyle, Scott and lDarwin came into the sunlight of fame without any parchment certificates, and very few of the men at the top in Canadian industry and finance today. have any except honorary university de- grees.

June Elections

F“ " g

The decision of Premier T. C. Douglas to ‘ fry his luck at the polls on June 24 makes the third provincial government to seek re-election in June. Each is of a different political stripe, and as a sample test of party popularity, the three elections may serve a useful purpose. _ln ‘New Brunswick, Premier McNair will seek re- election under the Liberal colors; Premier Doug- las heads Canada's only C.

" l Perhaps the chief interest as far as the West is concerned, says the Winnipeg Free Press, centres in Saskatchewan where despite an overwhelming victory in i944, the opposition hos been encouraged by the success of the Fusion movarrtint and its emphasis on single anti-social- ist candidates. Despite this unity however, poli- tical observers at this date are being exceeding- ly cautious in their predictions. i i Both New Brunswick and Saskatchewan gov- flmpyanls have gone to the polls in the fourth " of their five year terms.

DON’! BLAME DOCTORS

Sin-As Chairman of the Pub- licity Committee for the Tentper- anoe Federation I have been re- quested to try to clarify the issue before the people of this Province in preparation for ‘the coming pleblsclte. June 28. I shall have to take for granted that. the Gov- ernment pamphlet, “Information on the Plebisclte" has been read.

The statement ln that. pamphlet that; the "Fundamental distinction between the New Temper-anus Act and the Old Prohibition Act: is "Doctor's prescriptions" ls not: a quite correct statement. The dis- tinction lies in the fact that under the Prohibition Act doctors pre- scribed alcoholic liquor so a medl- clne only, while in the New Temp- erance Act the use of liquor is legalized as a beverage, and thus the doors are opened for unlimited sale. In the other Provinces where a similar method has been tried the sale of liquor has increased enormously ,

The original Act. of 1900 tools for granted the doctors of this Province are a high-principled and honourable body of men. and left it. to their own good judgment, to prescribe what. quantity of liquor a. patient needed. 1n the later amendments of 1918 and 108'! the doctors were given the liberty, and indeed were encouraged to are. scribe amounts of liquor larger thin could be reckoned u medl- vlne. this. no doubt, under pres- sure from the liquor interests, and as was to be expected, 50mg flog.‘ tors took advantage of this law. Thll. in no way. reflects on the good faith of the medical profes- sion as s. whole.

In the Government pamphlet, above referred to, the implication seems to be that the failure of prohibition ls traceable to the doctor's, and the issuing of scripts had better be taken out. of their hands. We, the ‘temperance peo- Die of this Province believe of course, that. the doctors are a trustworthy body of men, and that the issuing of scripts for medlpal purposes is safer in their hands than it is tn the control of s oom- mlsslon whose business it la ' to issue scripts for beverage purposes. Zr. which case. naturally. the flow will be unlimited. We can be quite sure that while the alleged aim of the New Temperance Aict ls to eliminate drunkenness, it is also

LET US GIVE PROEIIBXTION A CHANCE

$1r.~’l'hst. we should still be fighting the liquor traffic after en- joying the benefits of prohibition for 40 years is one of the strangest paradoxes of this modern age. Medical science has demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt that beverage alcohol ta a race poison. Statistics accumulated over the last live decades prove first. alco- hol is the greatest destroyer of morale known to man. Ana yet all our attempts to exterminate the plague only seem to increase tbs vitality and to enhance its popu- larity. The whole situation seems so illogical and so inconsistent and so destructive to civilization tilat. a little investigation seems absolute- ly essential.

Why has the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages become an absolute neoesslty? Putting the question into that startling form ought. to shockus into some kind of mental or physical reaction of all animate and articulate objects sharing the hospitality of this ter- restrial globe man la the only creature that. demands alcohol as a daily stimulant, at narcotic, or tonic, or whatever you like o0 call it. And the reason for that is this: No other‘ manufactured substance has such s. power to make a man forget himself and to think that he ts somebody else. Ask a man why he drinks, why he wastes his money. why he neglects his busi- ness. and humlliates his faintly or his friends and he will give you a dozen res or excuses. but. the one I have just stated is the prin- cipal one. Alcohol when taken into the system. enters the blood stream. and goes straight to’ the higher centres of the nervous system-the place where the nervous tissue controlling judlrnent, restraint. dignity. personality are located. Al- cohol deadens or changes or para- lyzas these centres, and leaves s msn for tin time balm under the pot:- trol of mother set of calla of s different _order. All the knows how these isobar controls operate. That ls the time when a rnsa thinks. he is a super-men and‘ the uerahbors thinks he ls lntma- osted as under the influence, or use some‘ other fteurs of speech to ‘account for nu abnormal benev- tor. If some other substance tould be manufactured or discovered i-hat would ausranteo the desirable re- suls and eliminate the undesirable symptom we coul bsntsb the curse of the liquor traffic in s very short time.
