seems an inoppor tune tine to try the experiment some people nuj suffer from the trial if ifa carried into eatoet unless there are a lot of exemptions perhaps the fighting forces on the front line would like to be included in the plan v we most keep pace at home our armed forces have fixed goals to meet this year and rira and h runnin head of their timetable wo at homo with easier goals to achieve can hardly do less soldiers goals arc measured in terms of military victories ours are measured in terms of war pro- ductlon increases and victory bond purchases wo are confident that the people of canada are deter mined to meet these goals just as our soldiers aro meeting theirs says john steinbeck well known author and playwright and now warcorrespondent i have seen men climb into bombers in tho early morning and ily away waving with elaborate nonchalance and i havo seen tho gap in the mess when they did not como back and the empty bunks tho blankets thrown aside as they threw them and tho framed photographs on tho steel lockers the men have gone up tho gangways again to go into action and hove jumped from landing barges to beach strewn with the bodies of their own people and they claw their way like animals into a hostile coast i have seen the hospitals with the mauled men the legless and the blind tho hngerless hands ami the burned faces air the destruction that steel and bre can do to a mans body and mind 1 havo seen children hauled out of a blasted building lumps of crushed dirty meat in pinafores and dead boxed and buried carrion in gods name what is it for except to get this horrible thing over with as quickly and as thoroughly as possible and if this is true it should not be a matter of who will lend his money for victory bonds but who dares not to here ore tho reasons why people bought victory bonds before why more should buy this time i to help their country win the war 2 to back up their loved ones in the services 3 to make a spfe and sound investment 4 to help keep our economy i- on an ovon keel s to help preserve the canadian way of life brampton conservator v an inopportune time one evening last week after wo had been at the office as wo are tonight writing and putting into typo these editorial columns wo walked down street c bit tired but realizing that after july 1st we could not work more than eight hours a day and it wasnt long to wait for that midsummer night dream we mot a doctor just leaving his office and he was tired too but when we mentioned to him about our hopes for he was pleased to ttiinsliboirtit too we asked him how he would manage if folks became ill after his eight hour day was completed he didnt know but supposed thoy would just have to wait until tho next morning for treatment ho felt he would like more leisure anyway then we met another man who operates a place where refreshments are served he had been on the job much over the eight hours but when tho new law comes in he will of course be glad to stay at homo and have leisure the folks who aro working will have to get their refreshments in the same hours that he is working he wont put the hours in the home garden because that would be more than eight hours of labor in the one day of course if plenty of help were available ther could beextra doctors to look after sick people at all hours and others to serve at refreshment coun ters and more to write and put in type editorials and do the multitude of jobs that cant be done in eight hours by so few people we havent talked to farmers but we imagine it would suit them to quit at five every night and only milk the cows that were possible by that time and leave the rest until the next day no one likes long hours of labor but july 1st while we hear most of the big figures from the city quotations on the shortage of housing accom modation in proportion to population the question is just as vital and maybe more so in many of the nm centres this is particularly true in places where many industries are located while the cities have maintained abnilding schedule of some kind all through the years and even during the war years many of these smaller centres have had few new homes erected and were facing a shortage even be fore the war years the result is that houses outside of these muni cipalities and in the crossroad hamlets not too far distant are alpfinding not one but several tenants with the shortage of gasoline and means of travel this is in many cases a real hardship building at the present time is not advantageous and we find that in these communities real estate is moving quickly and savings are going into a shelter of some kind that is ready to occupy this does not help the situation any because in every case the owner finds it necessary to evict some one and it means only a shifting of families from one dwelling to another with only the owner secure of shelter everyone of the towns in this district have bus loads of workers going to and from their work every day unable to get housing near their employ ment it makes a long day and it seems that many of the workers in the small communities havo lost that privilege they once dnjoyed of getting home a few minutes after tho whlstlo blows thoy are now in the samo predicament as the city dwellers with the long btrcot car or bus rides to and from work and the inevitable lunch box i certainly the most immediate postwar problem facing us is tho housing problem and not houses for tho cities alone the plan of houses will need to be one that will fit tho workers pocketbook every worker needs a comfortable house and one that will not be so elaborate that the mortgage will take out all the joy ol ownership possibly if this matter could be dealt with it would help cure some of our social problems we have tho ioom for moro homes in these small communities which provide the ideal places for family life now is tho time to lay away funds with which to realize this post war dream we might add that victory bonds are an ideal way in which to accumu late that post war fund for the individual v editorial notes 8 london cp 1w pry kkfrafl up by shells flram m american freighters skipped onto
