The difference between the Jew- fsh and Christian Sabbath: ls only apparent for both observe a day ln peace for meditation sac. upon God's won: and to zlve praise and glory for dellverlng them from bondage. with this distinction how- cvcr that the Jew commemorates deliverance from Egyptian bondage rDeut 5,15.) while the Christian commemorates deliverance from the bondage of sin (Rev. 1. 4-5.) (Acts 4 10-12).

Each observes one day tn seven. Each commemorates creative and redemptive work continued weekly repeatedly without llmlt. as to time from the completion of the work n: each instance upon a sanctlfted and not day set apart to do honour to the r ruler and redeemer and to re- ceive the needed understanding, wisdom and power, and to be re- freshed and fit-ted to curry on dur- ing the intervening days.

1n this age of sncomllnlng and short curs, we have always looked upon the accounting profession as one of the few remaining basdons of complete aoctuacy. The account nub we fclt, was the mun above all men, who slaved far lnto the tilght to track down even a single cent, by which the tally frllled. to balance.

That. being s0. imagine the shock ft was to read ln the dignified Can- adian Chartered Accountant. olflclal organ of the profession in Catiada. the suglzesdon that firms ought. to ignore the cents ln their publish c1 balance sheets. This ts heresy, ln-

eed.

The editor of the Accountant. however, goes on to make out a good case for his heresy. What, he asks. do the 48 cents rcprcscilt ln clu- bal- ance sheet of a company rvllose as- sets are $44,576,9Z8.48?

he has something there.

“ilwo years ago, when it WM PW‘ posed to convert the e85 81011189 warehouse on Blrchwood Streei lnto a. brass and tron foundry. PTO‘ party owners ln the neighborhood

objected and decided ta petition the City council to pass a bv-IBW. stink lar to that rotfctmz property 0W1"- ers ln Brig ton, reserving the ds- trlct from the erection of furl-he!‘ Commercial buildings and prohibit- lng the building of dwellln! 110W! costing less than $3°99- _

I was asked to prellflre B. bY-lfl-V and have it signed, which I did and 9a per cent of the DIODE“! "Wm" between Upper Prlnce St. and Vlc- tory Avenue appended their signa- tures, The petition also included tn its area the block south of Euston St. to Fitzroy between Hillsboro and Prince streets.

The petition was prepared tn con- sultation wltll Mr. Mnrtln and Ml‘- Lupthorne. It was discussed by the council several times and at. one meeting was given a first reildlirg.

Feeling that. definite action should be taken by the present Council before going out. of office, 1 urged the special committee ap- pointed to consider the matter to act. ivlthout. further delay. ‘This committee. however, felt. that the building restriction rate should not be uniform for the whole district and they recommended that, houses costing $2000 should be permitted tn tne area. between the west side of Upper Hlllsboro St. and the West side of Longworlh Ave, tn which area there are a number of vacant building lots belonging to the Palmer, Longwortli and Sounders estates.

Although not actually stated tn u resolution of the Council. 1 under- stand that: the present Councll leaves for the incoming Council the duty of passing another by-law, with higher building restrictions for the sections. that have been omitted particularly Prince and Upper Prince Streets and mngworth

Farmers Are Eager

{Hamilton Spectator»

Ranking high ln the production of essential goods for this war is Bgrlclllfllltvs output of foodstuffs, of which there can be too much, as the demands are enormous. With most of Europe overrun, its econ- omy lrl chaos, nrarkets destroyed and normal ellippiilg services dis- rupted, the burden of filling the huge requirements of sustenance to Great. Britain and other Allies falls largely upon the New World.

In_ this effort. Canada has been playing n11 important part, but- lt. l5 now being urged to make a su- prctne exertion, 21s the freed for staple foodstuffs continue to grow. Thu; year, the Domlnlon ts asked to provide Britain with 600 mlllon pounds of bacon, 125 mlllon pounds of cheese, one million cases of eggs nnd a large volume of processed milk. Ontario, with lls diversified agriculture ls expected to flll a big share of lllls order, and the pro- ductlve acres of Wentworth Coun- ly. in turn, vrlll be worked to give a tnaxltniun yield.

The only mandate the Govern- ment needs ls already grant/ed: lo govern, on the basis of its special knowledge of the national and world situation. fn the best Interests of Canada. and the Canadian people. It ls obtvlous. even to those without special knowledge, that if we are to beat, back the aggressor-s who wctltld cilslilve us, we must wage total war. To postpone mrlkln that effort, to cause disruptions. envy expense, and delay by‘ resorting to any such a political s fir-saver as a referen- dum would be folly of the worst klnd. unwarranted by logic. and 1m- necessary evcn from the point, 0f vrcw ofjoltllcalcxpcdlcilcy.
