What this seems to mean is that when people talk about a current scarcity of jobs they mean scarcity of selected jobs. A scarcity of the sort of work people would like to get if they could get it, - Well, there never has been a time in the world's history when there was work for everybody at the sort of work everybody. wanted, and there never will be, Indeed, in such a world economic and social life would break down; there would be nho- body to do the hard, disagreeable work essential to existence. : We can't all choose the posts in life that we would like, even though: we may think we could fill them better than those who have them; can't all crowd the far-away pastures that look green, Instead, in a world where most of us have to earn our living by the sweat of our brow we must be content with our appointed tasks, realizing that. life is a procession of second-best choices, and realizing most of all that, duty to ourselves and our dependents being what it is, any work is' bet- ter than none. ) We hear much these days about "full employ- ment", That (if it is attainable at all which we doubt) doesn't mean work for everybody at the jobs they like, or a home for everybody in the place they like, Full 'employment "means that people must move to jobs, not jobs to people; and . that there must be enough people willing to take all the sort of jobs that are offered. In a collec- tivist state, towards which we seem to be moving, full employment may even mean" that people must work at what they are told to work at, where they are told to work, and at what hours and wages. * % HOSPITAL TRUST RECOMMENDS SPECIAL ACCOMMODATION (St. Thomas Times-Journal) Intoxicated patients taken to the Memorial Hos-~ pital have become such a problem, creating dis- turbances and on at least one occasion attacking a nurse, that the Board of Governors at their last regular meeting passed the following resolution: "Whereas the increase in drunkenness is appal- ling, and whereas the increase in drunkenness is causing a great deal of danger to orderlies and nurses, because of the violence of the drunk patients, and is also causing mental unrest to the rest of the patients in the hospital, "We, the board of trustees of the Memorial Hospital, feel that all the hospitals in Ontario, and the Ontario Hospital Association, should urge the Ontario Government to provide hospital ac- commodation for the alcoholics, apart from 'gen- eral hospitals, the cost to be paid out of the pro- fits from the sale of liquor, by the Ontario Gov- ernment," One source of local trouble is said to be drunks who are injured in motor accidents or alercations and are rushed to the hospital .- Editor's Note -- It certainly is time that the liquor traffic financed its own liabilities; and the noisy, quarrelsome drunk is one of them. If we must have freedom to become rich via human weakness; and, if we must have freedom to do as we please, then the folk who grow rich, and the drunks who have their "good time", should be expected to settle for the costs, * 2 3» 1] WANTED--A HUMAN THERMOSTAT Dr. Rexford R. Hersey says we all have our "ups anddowns". We knew that before he told us; but we didn't know that they run in cycles--that if we are "blue" to-day, five weeks from to-day. we | shall have another "blue" spell; and, thank good- ness, vice verse. ! te : » His advice is that we keep track of ourselves, He also suggests that we use the mind as a human thermostat. - We must learn that in our "down" spells nature is building up our. energies, and .that it'is always darkest just beforé*dawn. "We must also remember that if 'we are feeling good, we'd better take a look at the calendar, see how long the good spell will last, and govern ourselyes ac- cordingly, by slowing down a bit before the good spell ends, It is a fine theory, and will likely he discussed-- but not put to practical use, There is a gleam of encouragement, however. Bad spells don't last forever, They are the natural swing of the pen- dulum. They are not the result of the weather, or your associates; but are inherent; and can be . reckoned with like any other human characteristic, Knowing this, we can govern ourselves accord- ingly. 3s The Troubles of oe a Thief A short time ago a young man broke into a store in Marmora, and it looked at though he was going to have a good haul. But when he got the stuff all loaded, his car wouldn't start. The Marmora chief happened along, and investigated, with the result that the young fellow was given and was later brought to trial. He got eighteen months for that bit of fruitless work, While he was awaiting trial Chief Holmes of Port Perry took a trip to Marmora;'and identi- fied the culprit as the man who broke into the premises of Hogg & Lytle, S. Griffen and Cawker Bros. He netted $2.04 from those break-ins. He also ad- mitted stealing the Crozier and Honey cars recently, "Theft and burglary look like a precarious way of making a liv- ing. 2 OBITUARY Note--Owing to the fact that this Obituary from Lemberg Star was mislaid for sometime, publication has been delayed. ed The Late Herbert J.

'PORT PERRY STAR PORT PERRY, ONT., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6th, 1945 PIONEERS OF TO-DAY A TEACHER TALKS M. M. Boyd, B.A. Sometimes a class stumbles on so clear a truth that the teacher feels a responsibility to pass the experience on to others. Par- ents are. vitally interested in what goes on in the classroom, but they have too few oppor- tunities of learning what actually is being done during those five and a half hours the children are in the school room Do you know what your child has learned to-day? The work- baoks don't begin to tell the whole story, Come into our classroom for a few minutes and let me show you how our future citizens are taking hold of the problem of our day; let me show you how their clear young minds are dealing with these problems and, perhaps, you will-be encour aged to believe in a brighter fu- ture for our country. Unfortunately, when we were children, education was valued in terms of the job it opened up for you. But we have seen that such an education doesn't prevent our sons and daughters being killed. in man-made wars. Education has to do far more than prepare us for good jobs. What is it that education should do? Per- haps, the children themselves can tell you. . . : The other day we were begin- ning a study of the early pio- neers, and to bring out the mean- ing of the term, pioneers, I asked the class what they thought a pioneer was. They said that they thought a pioneer was a man who went to a new land to clear it and to build a home. After a brief discussion of such people, the pupils were asked if there. were any other kinds of pioneers. This question interested them and started them thinking along new lines. We discovered that there were pioneers in science, in in- dustry, in religion, in short, in all the activities of life. To sum up the idea of what a pioneer really was we decided to build up our own definition for a pioneer, One boy said that a pioneer was a person who blazed a new trail. To this we added; any- where and at any time in any field of human endeavour. We were all quite proud of our de- finitation and tackled the next problem with a good deal of zest. This problem was written on the blackboard. "What incentives inspired the pioneer to blaze new trails?" We took time out to dis- cuss the word 'incentives'; we have a special name for such dis- cussions--getting off the track --and we consider them very im- portant. We linked the word with the Latin verb, incendo, (I burn); showed how we get the English words incensed and incendiary from it and empha- sized the importance of enthus- iasm which 'sets us on fire' with a zeal for. accomplishment. We decided that a good short word with the same meaning as incen- tive was 'spur' which, of course, ' oF gave us the opportunity to bring out the metaphor or word pic- ture. Then back to our problem. We made a list of the incentives that might explain the drive which carried the pioneer. In the order given, we wrote them on the blackboard: 1. Adventure 2. Fame 3. Freedom--religious, political 4. Wealth 5. Curiosity 6. Love of humanity 7. Love of work We discussed each one in turn and eventually came to the con- clusion that this represented a fairly complete list of those things which might not only be the incentive for the pioneer but also for all people. It occurred to us that it would be interesting: to put these in- centives down in the order of im- portance. We tried to imagine how the average person would evaluate them. We argued over and over the position of some of them but finally agreed that the list would look like this. Again we put it on the board. 1. Wealth; 2. Fame; 3. Free- dom; 4. Curigsity'; 5. Adventure; 6. Love of Humanity; 7. Love of work. The class was asked to study the revised list and then it was proposed that we think of the condition of the world to-day. Our daily studies in current events made it easy for us to re- view its very troubled state. The pupils were asked if they could see any possible relation of our revised list to the present world unrest and disorder, For a moment, there was no answer, Suddenly several hands shot up. They had all seen the same thing. "The order of our values was upside down and therefore it was little wonder that the world was facing such dreadful problems. Our next step was quite obvious--to make a third list with the incentives (values) in the best possible or- der for decent human living. There was little difficulty here. All agreed that Love Humanity should come first; Love of Work, second; Love of freedom, third; Curiosity, fourth; Adventure, fifth; Fame, sixth; and last of all put Wealth. Then they wanted the teacher to tell them why we didn't put these things in the right order in our daily life. He was forced to answer that we had not yet ar- rived at the point where the Home, the School and the Church put first things first, and he added that It was our own in- dividual responsibility to work together inspired by love and re- spect for each other and a love for work to make real the truths we had discovered in our lesson on the pioneer, Letters from When Murray Luke of Prince Albert, Ont., returns from Over- seas, he will have much to tell. He has an observant eye, and has been keeping both eyes and ears open. Recently we were privileged to read a couple of Murray's letters. They are in- tensely interesting; but they are longer than our limited space permits for publication, The dif- ficulty arises, too, that when one tries to cut the letters down nr print extracts, one is confronted with the fact that the writing is As he de- scribes his trip to Wales, or wan- ders about London, his mind is busy not only with what he saw and heard, but with the histor- ical background of everything over there in the Mother Coun- try. Murray went down into a Welsh mine, and saw the actual process of mining. He came up from that experience, certain the miners could not be paid too much. They would earn it all, What surprised him most was Murray Luke the fact that of the 400 men working in that mine, only 85 ac- tually dug out the coal. The rest were electricians, plumbers, and tradesmen of all sorts, whose business it was to keep the mine in good running order. Mining is certainly an extra-hazardous calling, and one can almost hear Murray's sigh of relief as he came up safe and sound into the sunlight. This paragraph, descriptive of part of what he saw in the Na- tional Museum at Cardiff, in Wales, gives an idea of his pow- ers to take in what he saw: "In order to really appreciate a museum, you should really only observe a certain portion of it at a time. Well, of course, I did not do that. I went through the whole building, There were two or three things which interested me in particular, though. 1 learned something about the manufacture of silk. One ounce 'of the "seed" (eggs) of the silk worm produces up to 35,000 silk worms, These will consume SAMUEL FARMER Editor and Publisher Dr. Einstein has written an article on the atomic bomb in the Atlantic Monthly. This para- graph gives the keynote of his thought in his advocacy of a world government: "Do I fear the tyranny of a world government? Of course [ do. But I fear still more the coming of another war on wars. Any government is certain to be evil to some extent. But a world government is preferable to the far greater evil of atomic wars. If such a world government is not established by a process of agreements, I believe it will come anyway, and in much more dangerous form. For wars will end in one power being supreme, and dominating the rest of the world by its overwhelming mili- tary strength." * ® » Reduced to simple terms, it is evident that organized labor is working to obtain profit sharing.

Fach cocoon gives a continuous thread 800- 1200 yards long. The reason that China and Japan raise so many silk worms is because their climate is such that several crops can be raised from the mulberry trees, each summer. The silk moth of China has been used there for that purpose for about 4000 years. The United States is the leading manufacturer of silk goods, producing about three-fifths of the world's total, -- ED -- SCUGOG Services and S.S. at the regu- lar hours next Sunday, and all are invited.
