'THURSDAY, JUNE 15TH, 1939 Business As A Good Neighbor The Financial Post, ini is usual thoroukli and reiable wa7y, has been unning a senies of articles inii is infornXYative publication an coporate cifizenship with flic general theme of "Good Neiglibors." This week we received a vcry attractive booklet from flic Maclean Publishing Co., containing ftle series fa date of f lese public relations. stor- ics which have commandcd a great deal of favorable comment. The inside history is given of sucli leading Canadian business institutions as The Bell Teleplione Co., Genemal Motors of .Canada, Massey-Harris Ca. Limited, Hydro Electrie Power Com- mission and ofliers. More and more, business is going directly fa flic public with ifs story. The story of liow busineds operafes is goiug fo be f aid anyway whctlier business tells it or not. If wihi lie foid by aposties of class struggle; by rabble-rousing aratars; by raufing evangels of new social philos- ophies. , Business lias flice choice of leaving 'ifta sucli ignorant or maliciaus cifics fa ftcllich * story of business or of fdelliug flic story if- self. Iunflic main, business lias suffered in silence, lias endurcd abuse- and misrepresen- tafion rafler flian tellitis awn sfary. But thfat sfoic calm is passing and business ià figliting back witli fli simple trufli simply told. %Business lias a fine sfory ta fteli of jobs crcafed, of fowns built, of service pro- vided. Business is merely flic organizat ion of mnakind fa ge flic wold 's work doue; fa gef if done as efficiently and economically as possible in ferma of fime, money and maferials in order fliaf there may be more necessifies and luxuries for al fa enjay and more time in whidli ta enjoy fhem. Business is nof something aparf from flic people. If is sinpiy flic co-operafive efforts of flic people fa live and advance. Business cornes under flic hcading of econamies. And flic word ceonomies cames from tfli Greek word for "liousckceping." Being a good neigîbor.lu business is just being a good housekeeper and a good citizen. That -bcing truc, flic business in@titution thaf fakes ifs sfary fa flic people, fliaf puts if under tlic spottiglif of public appraisai, is daing somefliing thaf is preffy farsiglifed. CIty Folks Now Envious of Their Country Cousins Life an the farm is no longer one of isolation and deprivafion. Modemn facilif- ies such as hydro, water pressure systcms, paved highways and mot or cars have brougit fthe mosf distant rural homesfeads inta close toudli wif h everyday if c. Then there are flic felephone, flic radio, the lcnd- ing libraries and rural mail rouftes which have added ta flie comfort and convenience of life an tflcfarm, and -there is hf f le in the way of cify advantagcs that cannot be found in rural districts. A f ew ycars ago a trip from flic farm ta the cify or town was an event, a journey thaf fook hours, somefim'es days. Taday aur country cou- sins can hop juta flic family car and reach the briglit liglits of f liir favorite town or cify in an hour or so. Farmîng well donc is a profession iii itscîf and yaung men tmained in aur agri- cuit ural colleges are infinifely more inde- pendent than hundmeds of t own-brcd boys who cannat find a niche in which ta express themselves. Farm folk are no longer tlic unsophisticated "rubes" who used ta pro- vide material for the comie sfrips. They are cducafed, up-to-date, well informed and capable. Rural life ueeds t he bcst type for ifs development and flic lever boys and girls no langer have to forsake home- grounds in arder fa find cangenial compan- iouship and emplayment in more crowded centres. Distant pastures always look greenesf but when ail is said and the farm' commun- ify eau offer rnuch thaf cannof be found in city life. Iu fWct, many who have spent aimost their eut ire ives in urban settings are naw furninig ta flic land in order ta ecape a few of life 's camplexities arnid surroundiug(s thaf are mare nafural, more simple, and infinitely- more worth while. Glowlng Tribute to Value of *Newspaper Advertlslng Rteconnnending that flic institut joual ad- verfisiug appropriation be nonfinued for stili suother year, the Canadian Life Insur- ance Officers' Association meeting in To- Ironto lasf week paid glowing tribute ta the value of newspaper adverfising. If seems unnecessary ta dwell upon -the advantages that have accrued fa the insti- tution of life insurance in Canada from ifs .igbteen years of contiuous co-operafive advortioiag," tàe anual meeting of the As- »cs*iion, W4told by fthc committec in oba âl» "rn nafitutioùal advertising and publicity hm been an invaluable factor in twtablisjtlng and maintaining public con- ry, lay, rhe Ian 'A" Rd. re bf In its lasf hours the Lagis1afiMre passed an amendrnent f0 fthe High Sehools Acf remedying a inistake of the lasf session when county trustees on a Board were re- duced to one in number. Three county trustees inay again be appoinfed at the re- quesf of the Board. In many cases the County would appear to be entitled to three côunty trustees, while in other cases the inclusion of fhree members would seem to be uncalled for and unhlecessary. The Bow- manville Higli School Board feit the' loss of ifs county xnembers last year, protested to the governmenf and will be glad to wel. corne them back. Recently a Kansas newspaper ran a *full- page advertisement asking for ramn: An inch of ramn came, and eighf inches of snow. This success will have an untoward effeet on advertising men. They will become srnug. They will dlaim that heaven itself responds to their copy. Other horrid things will hap- pen. General Motors may state that the Angel Gabriel drives a Chevrolet; adver- tisements in the college papers may show Beelzebub inhaling a popular cigarette. Cherubim may be shown crying for Cas- toria. A heavenly host may be depicted urging readers f0 stay on the aikaline side. Sa says Judge Magazine. "If eithâ~ of the great political parties would adopt a plan frankly offering some protection to fhe railway 'men affected, and make it an eleetion issue, says the Owen Sound Times, if is aur belief that that parfy would have littie to fear from the railway vote." It is fear of the big club wielded by fhe labor unions that keeps yellow and spiifeless polificians willing fo continue the million-a-week deficif burden now bdin- tarried by fthc nation. If is a needless fear. It is morally certain thaf there are thous- ands of Canadian cifizens, who would be joined by the labor unions in supporfing a definif e plan of amalgamation of fhe fwo greaf railway sysfems, for the solution of a problem thaf grows more difficuif and mienacing as the weeks pass. The Dominian Depf. of Agriculture has been urging Canadian farmers fa produce more bacon for the British market. In a series of advertisemenfs starting in this issue of The Stafesman the deparfment gives comparison of variations in Danish and Canadian lhog 'priýces. They further suggesft thaf many Canadian farmtrs' should adjuaf their breeding practice s0 that more pigs will corne fa market when prices are normally highesf. With the co-operat ion local service clubs are giving the young farmers of Durham Caunty in est ablishing Swîne Clubs we will expeef a big contri- bution from f lis source in wiping ouf thle national debt by 1950. Recently a judge ouf in Milwaukee ruled f hat a fafher can 't be held liable for dam- ages when his-son blacks fhe eye of a neigli- bor's son. For fhis lef ail of us parenfs of boys be thankful. We would surcly hat e ta be held responsible for anyfhing that happens wheu umaîl boys st art a fighf. Sinee the beginuing of f inîý boys have foughf, made up and been friends, provided fhe parenfs minded their own business. We have neyer known a sniall .boys' figlit fa become serions unless fthc parents took part. And the same is f rue of srnall girls. No, sir, let children have their scraps; let fhem fight them ouf; bind up their wounds; put ice on fheir black eyes, buf neyer, neyer inferfere. Sa we say hurrah for flic Mil- waukee judge!
