courtesy- many successful businesses have bean built on the sound principle of providing a reliable product or worthwhile service at a fair prico it cannot bo denied however that whon such a product or service is mark eted in a courteous manner a mora pleasant and rewarding experience for all will result pooplobotfi young and old in all wnlks of llfo react favourably to courteous treat- merit and it costs no more than a little lime and effort plus thoughtful consideration of others how many of us remetnber a bus inessman lh our parents or grarvdrjarents time who invariably walked to tho door and opened it as his customers left he found tho tlmo to bo courteous courtesy is an important end valuable asset ii cannot be monopolized by any one group but it would appear at times thai it could be used to better advantage in many of our personal and business relationships like ripples created when a pebble is thrown into a pool an act of courtesy will extend far beyond the original gesture the summer season l now here and many visitors are travelling in our country would this not be an excellent time to make a contfcloutf effort to be more courteous jiot only on our highways but in our stores and places of business it takes so little time end offort and ho results can bo farreach ing it can make for a more pleasant world irtwhfch to live not a bad record when ho was in ottawa rocently israels prlmo minister ben gurfon said ho was sur prised to learn that since tho end of world war ii canada has spent 4629450000 on foroign aid mr ben gurlon went on to say that he was sure that the rest of the world was equally ignorant of the extont of our foreign aid spending in point of tho fact it is likely that very few canadians have much knowledge of this subecl though it is not a record we need be modest about canada provided more than 2 billion for immediate postwar relief and reconstruc tion in europo more recontly wo havo spont nearly 1 8 billion in nato mutual aid and another 480 million on special assistance schemes in the past decade we have con tributed through the colombo plan 382 million for hydro electric and thermal power projects and grants of foodstuffs and tech nical assistance to india pakistan ceylon malaya burma cambodia and vietnam in tho current year we will spond 62 million on foreign aid over a fiveyear per iod we are contributing 10 million to the west indies aid program west indian train- oes aro in canada studying public adminis tration information services and- fisheries- canadian exports aro in the islands assisting in agnculluro housing and vocational train ing over a throeyoarperlod we are to spond 10 5 million in africa mainly on technical aid to education thare will bo a 1 million appropriation lliis for the commonwealth scholarship plan and the number of parsons studying at our unlver- sitios under tho program is oxpeclod to rise to 225 and many more items could be added to- tho list of course much of our foroign aid spend ing is done right in canada with canadian- made goods ralhor than dollars going out of the country nevertheless it is all money that tho taxpayers must put up probably those vocal few canadians who condemn our foreign aid as pitifully inadequate have no certain knowledge of ust how much we have done and an idealistic but unreal istic conception of ust how much we can afford the good 6ld days soft heads and muscles sctpat utd stce a new york physical education veteran told a big gathering the other day that our youth is not getting soft but he laid in to uholr eldwc t the same group heard dr george flow er of the ontario board of education de clare quite emphatically we cannot operate hard schools in a soft society we are soft smug and flabby guilty of soft think ing and this is reflected in our schools whether these two men who were ad dressing the canadian association for health physical education and recreation at mcmas- tor were banging at a society that is doing top much soft thinking about hardness and not enough hard thinking about softness improved can be left to specialists wo loan certainly to dr flowers attitude and in his own way dr nash the new yorker who questioned modern youths softness stressed there are still great flaws in our approach to recrea tion to be any benefit exercises must be interesting he said and pointed out that a walk in the woods is as healthy as a weight lifting session in the final analysis true recreation is achieved by doing something creatively that is why our emphasis on purely spec- jator sports is wrong we aro

our eyes narrow spectator the lusion perhaps we should not be surprised but ihe idea is now well established that a gov ernment hand out can fix any ill real or imagined a current example is the sug gestion that the government might pay a maternal wage to convince mothers in can ada that it is a worthwhile occupation to stay home and look after the house and the children this proposal was made in all seriousness to the annual meeting in ottawa of tho canadian welfare council by a mont real social worker jeanne duval vice presi dent of the confederation des syndicats na- tionaux this maternal wage saicf miss duval would be fully justified if we believe that the education of the child is of first import ance for the nation and that the mother is irreplaceable m carrying out this task allowance proportionate to the ryumber of children in the family this is quite an indictment of canad ian women one that surely would not stand up to investigation but apart from the ques tion of whether many or most working mo thers neqlect their children there are the two questions of whether it is proper to sug gest that the state should or could bribe people into accepling their responsibilities and whether it is reasonable to assume that the state has the money to take on still an other whopping welfare allowance by miss duval s reckoning about 600000 of canada s working women are married if only half of these are mothers of young children the total would be 300000 and 7f a government allowance is to keep them at ifnwvcwaggerudhrougrr-thc- bellis with gable in gone

effective fem inine working force in canada said miss duval is made up of married women and there is reason to believe that the percent age will increase the wife of 1961 she said is not much interested in domestic work her ignorance often leads her to under estimate these humble tasks and she refuses to make the necessary effort to become a goodjiousewife the ideal solution miss duval concluded might be a government home it would have to equal the 30 or 40 or 50 a week they make at a paying ob so the proposal probably involves some thing like a half a billion dollars a year the easy assumption that the government would have no trouble finding that much addition al money or that government should pay a cash allowance to ensure that children are properly reared is indication
