younger workers that they may have thought that matter settled for good mid all something happened in new york city recentlythat throws new light on the situation last winter was snowy one irlhat locality and number of times emergency workers were hired from the ranks the unemployed to clear away the snow along in february the word went out that thereafter no one under thirty would be hired for the younger men loafed good many reasons why such jobs ns there are have been going to young people for the last few years have been udvanced but none of those jobs carry the guarantee that it is theirs for life it employers discover as the new york sanitation deportment did that the younger workers loaf while the older toil then youth will have throwri away its temporary advantage nothing can make up for this fundamental and allimportant difference that one set of workers are industrious while the others loaf bijojer game the address of king clancy at the supper meet ing of acton mens club was splendid inspira tion for young and old the veteran hockeyist with sixteen years in the professional game to his credit assured the group he addressed that plenty of rest was required and that cigarettes and intoxicating beverages were things to leave strictly alone if one was to give the best in the game and be in prime condition it was no sermon but just thepersonal experience of man who has come through the game and was willing to tell of the things which he felt kept him in the game on the ice king clancy was effective for the toronto maple leafs and other teams as goodwill ambassador he is doing equal ly splendid work in promoting clean sport and clean living and is establishing better conception of professional sport throughout the countryside king clancys usefulness in sport did not cease when he retired from the game and the work he is doing now might be considered by many to be greater in its farreaching effects than his play in the game building up town an exchange offers the following advice on how to build up town talk about it write about it speak well of it help to improve it beautify the streets patronize its merchants advertise in its newspaper elect good men to all offices speak well of its enterprising publicspirited citizens if you arc rich invest in something employ somebody be hustler remember every dollar you invest in perman ent improvement is that much on interest be courteous to strangers that come amongst you so that they go away with good impressions always cheer up the men who go in for improve ments your portion of the cost will only be what is just dont kick about any necessity public improve lent because it is at your own door or for fear that your taxes may be raised fifteen cents above all never spend dollar out of town that you can use for the same purpose in town nel for drastic action mr church has introduced bill into the house of commons that iras many commendible features he would have the criminal code amend ed to double the penalties prescribed for drivers who under the influence of liquor instead of while intoxicated as the law stands now are found guilty of serious traffic offenses that is for first offense from two to six months imprisonment and for each subsequent offense from six months to two years imprisonment speeding on the highways or inciting another driver to excessive speed by striving to pass him would be made an indictable offense with liability to years imprisonment and200 fine anil any person who in culpably negligent manner butnot wilfully or wantonly brings about fatality may be liable to three months imprisonment and fine not exceeding 100 and mr church would have this apply to the driver of any conveyance on land in the air or under or through the water which makes it allinclusive another important point in the bill is thin the question of culpable negligence by driver shall he question of fact for the jury and shall not de pend upon the rate of speed lixvkl by law for oper ating such vehicle thus being within ihe speed limits would not be an extenuating circumstance these proposals may seem drastic but there is plenty of evidence in the highway toll that some such provisions are very necessary even tighten ing up of the present regulations would have splendid effect on making safer driving conditions there is space on every drivers permit issued for convictions under the act it provides for up to three on each permit we wonder how many per mits are returned each year with these convictions shown and what action is taken when permit of last year goes into the department with the whole three spaces filled in shouldnt the record ot lasr year be fair guide as to the advisability of using 1037 permit perhaps period without license would be as effective as anything in curbing the constant offender and putting him off the high way before serious damage is done when improvements dont improve how to keep buildings warm in this part of the country during the winter months is problem that has had great deal of study by householders and those in charge of office and factory buildings heat ing engineers have come to the rescue in many ways and devised improved methods of heating and methods of using materials that were otherwise waste and obtainable at low prices the first few years have usually given improved economies in heating cost but it seems the rule that so many of ihese gadgets get to work and then the supply of the waste material is in greater demand and the price rises and the economy is lost writer to the editor of one of the daily papers the other day tells of his experience in securing welsh blower coal and claims that even at an ad vanced price he is not able to secure uniform supply of the original welsh blower coal naturally he is very disappointed with the results now being obtained from what he thought was improved equip ment he claims in his letter that importers are selling blower coal which is mixture of welch coal and coal from other countries improvements fail to be improvements when the materials for which they are fitted are not procurable it would seem that manufacturers of the improved equip ment would need also to give some oversight to the sources of supply if their business is to have con tinued growth editorial notks there isnt really any place that

army capable if efficiently employed of tremendous volume of production in 1020 normal year production in canadian manufacturing per worker amounted to sg000 production would probably be hlffher loday if price were at the came level if we allow for production of only hajf that amount for each laborer we would have produc tive capacity of over five hundred mil lion dollars from our unemployed tht rough estimate but it hives ome niexnure of ihe economic lov from un employment but it docanot cover the entire lcr there are others not mentioned in this list whose productive capacity under present conditions is extremely limited there are nearly million dependents of those on relief many of these would ibe afj work if conditions were favorable and employment cosily ob tainable bcsldci in many case we have reduced the hours of work and retired many persons long before the northal period of retirement merely to provide work for others the national income of the dominion of canada in 193g was si 520000000 if this nation were employed as it ought to be employ ed the savings in costs of relief plus the volume of added production would bring the national income to level of 5000000000 the difference between these two items measures the economic loss due to unemployment the loss every year is more than the direct ex penditures of the federal government yet we sit still talk and do htuc we write and speak in terms of relief and of making work and of spending money as if that constituted the remedy we have to probe deeper what are the cause where is the way of escape the real trouble lies in the fact that the cost of production of manufactured product is too hljjh prices must come down in order to increase purchasing power prices of manufactured goods are too high in relation to the price of farm products the result is that men are driven oir the farms into the cities cost of living in the cities is excessive the cost is passed back in the price of goods to the men who work on the farms or engage in the baslc industries of the country the tactory must move back to the town in order to bring about lower casts of goods and services the burden of relief today is so great that the cities art striving with might and main to shift the burden from themsehe back to the iyderal government if it is placed upon the 1vderal government it will find its way into the tax bill thus adding fur ther to the almost impassible burdens of agriculture huron county is one of the finest counties in the province of ontario in soil in capacity lo produce there is nothing in the

has to be determined effort to lower cosl of pro duction and distribution governmcnu on their part must cease to interfere with business tlie tax rate must be lowered we have come to regard the growth of expenditure as an indication of progress it is miitnken conception there must be no codes for industry but freedom of the competitive forces which are powerful factor in lowcrint prices bringing them within the range of buying power it may be contended that thir will lower the standards of living it will have preclscsly the opposite effect if prices can be brought down demand will increase there is far more powder in the force of competition to increase clemjind and improve working condi tions than all the power of regulation which governments can apply wc have insisted upon more and more regu lation of business regulation and re striction liave failed if we go oh the way we arc going relief carftr and the pressure of the unemployed will in the end lower the standard of jlvinb and compel reduction in real uaays not only in the city but throughout the whole country if we lower the other costs of production there will then be more available in the form of real wages for the men who work nominal wages might in some coses be lower real wages could not foil to increase it la no benefit to labor to raise wages and then take back from the worker by increiue in the cost of living far more than you have given htm we stand at the economic crossroads we must lower the cait of production or face still further reduction in purchas ing power with continuing pressure upon our basic industries we must move in ome direction we cunno stand still what other course is there to follow the way hic suggested offers hope can this be said of the other suggestions which appear from time to time how to combat clothes moth pest reminder that clothes moths ar found ui greatest numbers in the spring and summer is made by the timely re issue of the dominion department of agriculture circular on the methods of controlling these destructive pests clothes moths cause enormous damage annually in canada to materials such as woollens furs hair and feathers upholstered furniture carpets and many other tilings tlie damage is caused by the feeding activities of the larvae or caterpillars of the motlis not by the winged moths themselves whose prin cipal functloi hi life is to mate and deposit the eggs from which the larvae develop the prevention of damage requires the excuse of care forethought and vigilance articles of clothing and other materlab subject to attack should not be left undisturbed for lone periods particularly during the summer montlis in such place as cupboards attics and trunk unless adequate precautions have been taken to protect the articles from injury by moths the clothing and other articles after being thoroughly brushed preferably in strong sunllgh should be placed in wellnuwli trunks or chests with tightly fitting lids or en closed in cotton or paper bags or cardboard boxes sealed with iiaur trips kudosing clothing in two thick uesses or strong wrapping taper or several thicknesses of newspaper inking care that the edges are so turned that no mollis may gain entrance is also re eommeiulru as an alternative measure of precaution when carpets or ius are suspected of being infested with moth larvae tlu cip ts should 1m thoroughly cleaned on tnth sides with vacuum cleaner vacuum iruners may also be used ror removing the lint from floor crack be hlnc basebairds and air shafts of cen tral heating equipment when infesta tion frequently occur
