The can4lid olser-ver is led to woiider Just w1hit measur-e of genuine properity laswr-aippe-d up in the current industrial boomi wlieh furnialies work for such large -numnbers of men.

No earnest thiiiker can iin a last- )i>ng pnapeity basied upon a feYerish srvn after m)er-e money alone. Therec, asaomoething solid lnd laating about a situation which tacsstock of the agiutua ide of a country"a existanice. While fart-a is 1 ecooning more and more meéhanized, 'and farm owners a-re rend erlng theiuselves lbas dependent upon manual labor, it is dis- quieting to witneas -a growýiing public apathy toward Canadas great- ,st res-ource-the land. Sliould the present trend in work and lgh wa,1ges Sustain islial Weil and good. Judlgod 'from-i the standpoint of two ortiree decodes ago, our people oughit to be 1Living in the ltap of luxury to-day. However, if living costs creep abreast and ahead 9f wages, we stili wil1 have flnlancialýly harassei peolple, and find, depresed condition in the rinýidst of seemrinig good bimies.

The two mnontha of freedoim will prove a paradise to the youwigstens themaîelves. Parents, particularly mothers, will flot fate quite su well. The r-esiponsilhdity which school muontlis thru.st par- tially upon the teacher miust now be assumed at hlmean'd it ia m other ,wlio realizes this fact More and mfore, our people are com- ing ta r-eoognlize the worth of hnlidays. Greator provision s'lhout be made for the families lof worklng folk Vtoget away ýto the counitrysîide for a few days a t any -rate. The annualpal put forth by the "Torourto Star" and sânililar agencies is a reflection upoii conditions, existing in our midst; conditions which dkot Msipeak woll for a social orderw'hich fosters so many under;- piri'vleged chldrien.. and whieh is oliged to Look to a ýcompassionate public for the rectification of someathing which ahould not exist. INo dout the ýpoor will always be with us. There can, however, be l»~ovmentsli labor, distribution 'of goods, and in the standards rif living so that the poor wil be lesis poor and lesa numnerous. Educaïtion la n"t confined nierely Vo public and s'ocondary Gchaols. A lot of aur adrninistrative people need educating la, te- gard Vo the needs raif the people Ithey serve. Vacation' time, instead of eo-mig as a nightmnare to a- hast of harassed families, should bring oppo(ýrtunlity for rest 'and relaxation. Educatiing the heads of families to)war-d sucli an end could dlinate a fo'rn of charity, wich, while worthy lnu itsolf, ila oniy meagre help which makes for no permianent and saUiifac qory solution. The Loss of Good Periodicals Depiored iMany local readers wilil regret the cesseain of thie old and ~ei-iuedpuiblcation the "Nunrthera- Messenger". Havlng served the public as a faniliy and Sunday School paper for mare than one huundred and ten yeara, the "ivilesseiger" fias succumbed because, as F"reidenýick E. Dougaîl, 83, explains, lie lad no oyther alternative but Vo discontinue "the laat of our papers while yet its sole surviving mebris able to met ail its "htgations". As the "sý;ole surviviag meier"Mr.Dougatli nust have reflected with a heavy hieantthat there w\ere so few people fmancally capaible as well as 'willing ta see Ghe "Messenger" any further_ along the way. Another sad note is expressed by Mr. Dougail when hoe ad- riits that "ýe could hafve sold the paper for thousands of dollars' Vo explor-ers, but -we w'ould not do that", The "Messenger' once had acircula on o f 0,000, but dr'opped to 23,000 in receat years. The Yontreal JDaily Witnesis, another family publication, was discon- tinued in 193[fter it steadiyly bt nmoney. lt was the most miorally courgeos nwspperCanada-ever had" said Mr. Dougaîl, 'in re- fecri- g th le "ina "In the hardeat af ail fields it championed thle cauwse_ of rigliteousneýssanad fought againast the popular evils of the day. economiie!, sc an'd political-its rindependent fight for the vigitould f1 llarýtge volume". Poaalbly ailittie seIf-refiection upon the parýtof thie Canadian rýeadt(ing public wouldî furish a chiie as ta, the demisê,of honoured publicaitîîis such as [the above. Peihaps there la a serlous flaw in our tlianking and consequeatfly in. our reading-when we allow such ljppers anad perodicalýs tii g6 by the board. At the same moment, tlo, logical qjuestion aýrises 'in qurnminds, "Are we replacing these w i t anyting btter, or even as good"? Pers'onally, we fear not.
