present day sunday con ditions in comparison with those of past years this raises some very time ly issues there is no question but that recent yearhave brought many efforts to- capture bunday for ordinary com mercial activitiesthere is still need to resist all sdqh attempts we should hold our sunday against attempts to throw it wide open to commercial pur suits your suggestion that garages enter into an agreement whe they ta turns remaining open on sundays such agreements are in effect in i number of places and prove satisfac tory they give garge managers and employees a larger measure of i jay freedom without interfering with service which some citizens seemto de mand on sundays furthermore citi zens could help the general situation if they would purchase their oil and gas on saturdays to carry them over sunday this is possible in mostc as- es leaving the sunday service to cases of emergency alone another suggestion that might well receive general consideration by the people of all our communities namely the purchase of their groceries and general merchandise earlier on satur days late saturday evening shopping makes for conditions that are unfair to vhopkeepers and their employees mer chants and employees would welcome the opportunity to close store and get to their homes before the saturday midnight hour sunday would be a better rest day in consequence in these days of strife and anxiety there is real need that we hold our sundays as free as passible from busi ness and toil it is necessary also they should be days or relaxation and re lief from the nerve strain of the week worship is a real factor in such relief to the individual and the community yours sincerely geo g webber i general secretary lords day alliance ff course said the smartly dressed visitor as she glanced about the almplyturnished sunshiny little room i cartimagipe your not wanting to work in winter you always did- jiate wading through slush or snow i remember and it must be sort of nice just to stay at home and take things easy while the mercury clings to zero but in spring well thats different again the bungalow aproned hostess merely smiled as she reflected that stoking a ftunace shoveling patfis tending to tpe supply of dry mittens leggings and stocking caps wool socjfts and warm scarfs for three active children wasnt exactly tak ing things easy you know you can get your old job back in a minute declared madeline miss burke said just the other day she would be tickled pink to have you in the french section once more that you were the beat saleswoman she ever had she even said that in case you were short of cash to buy a nice chic little dress for work shed make you a special rate on one of the sample models for she said the girls who get mar ried always are short of cash by the tirnethey have even one kid let alone three you better think it over dearie urged madeline drawing her smart crushed gauntlet gloves over smooth white hands any time

sachem i it is a very common thing these days to hear people especially young people complain that their job is not big en ough for them they become dissatis fied with the routine of each day feel that they should be doing bigger and more important things and that they are wasting their time on the hum drum jobs which they reel their bosses entrust them to do these are the peo ple who fail to realize that their job is just as big and just as important as they choose to make it to one sten ographer the job may be simply getting through the days work as quickly and as easilj as possible and woe betide iny employer who expects her to work live minutes after five oclock the let tersare dictated and typed out and mailed but they are carelessly writ ten smudged and unattractive to an other stenographer every day is an op portunity to do each task a little bet ter and a little neater and a little more efficiently is it any wonder that this second stenographer is moved up be comes a secretary perhaps an office manager while the first one remains just where she is a little more discon tented and a little more dissatisfied than ever how often we wander into a store and are struck by the contrast ing methods adopted by sales clerks one is always alert attentive cheerful patient anxious to please ready with a smile whether a sale is made or hot the other is usually busy with a fel low- clerk grumbling because his or her conversation has been interrupted- unfamilar with the stock and ready to argue with the prospective customer on the slightest provocation the one will never rise any higher the other is the material out of which future managers and buyers are made and so it goes that person who is always complain ing that his job is not big enough for gets that the job is just as big as he cares to make it and no bigger rra a fog jokk when someone blushes with embar- wfaen someones feelings are hurt when something sacred to made to appear commonplace when it to

way you are now every day in the week just like every oth er day weekafter week month aft er month her visitor gone viola armstrong looked thoughtfully about one room after another of he little house she wondered if she would be able to pick up the new dance steps phil never wanted to go out eve nings during the week he was in from the rood it would seem good to go to a movie or musical show once in a while three hungry children trooping in from the sandpile in tlc back yard interrupted violas thoughts deft ly she prepared supper as the children ate viola once more thought of madelines words of miss burkes offer and she re flected that all three of the jolly browneyed youngsters would be fed and tucked into their beds be- fire she would be home from the ore if she went back to work in town there would he but cold com fort in buying pretty clothes and expensive toys for the children if she as never home to see them wear he clothes or play with the toys supper over the three laughing children trooped up the stairs to make ready for bed viola lucked each child into its own little bed or crib slowly she made her way down ihe stairs and into the silent living- room madeline was right it wasnt so cheery this hnving ones husband on the road three weeks out of four that is it wasnt so cheery during the three weeks the fourth of course was just like a gorgeous va cation that fourth week wouldnt be so much though if she were working in a store in town viola admitted to herself seating herself before the well- worn old desk the desk which had served phil throughout his college years viola took out pen and pa per just as she did every night thot phil was on the road phil wouldnt be home till after the fourteenth if she was gmng back- to work she must let him know suddenly viola remembered some thing phil had said not many weeks before i never fret about the youngsters honey he had told her i know you are right on the job looking after them instead of tear ing around like a cuckoo flapper i suppose its lonesome business for you but im telling you the kids are darned lucky to have a mother like you on the job 24 hours a day every day in the week fortyeight hours later a certain grayeyed young man tore open an envelope and eagerly scanned the closely written pages it contained madeline clarke called she looked like a million dollars and she tried to inveigle me into going back to the store no thanks no clock punching and waiting on fussy women- who have more time and money than they have taste not while ive such a grand job looking after the cunningest little house and the three sweetest children in the world to say nothing of writing to the nicest husband who ever lived so read the letter which strange ly enough commenced dearest phil today has been just like ev ery other sunday when you arent at home then really is no news at all y and ended p s fve gone all through my cedar chest and piece bag and tve found enough stuff to make enough

the offer of their services by sir edward beatty president of the boy scouts associa tion and prompt acceptance by tbe prime mintoter the 100000 boy scouts and scout- leaders of canada- are pre paring to carry out their obligation of dutyto god and the king by render ing every possible nonmilrtaxy war time home service that- this service will prove of value is indicated by the record of the scout service daring the great war but for which many important civilian activi ties would have moved at a much slow er pace particularly in 1914 in prac tically every city and town trained and uniformed scouts- were available in troops or singly to run messages on wheel or afoot to help at a refresh ment booth a bazaar a fundraising entertainment to usher at meetings or wash dishes in a bed cross kitchen as the general war work developea their activities broadened they were used in connection with victory loan campaigns and red cross ymjoa and other patriotic fund drives they met troop trains and acted as guides and messengers later they met the trains of returning sick and wounded carried their luggage and assisted in every way possible at halifax saint john quebec and montreal they met hospital ships ix the country districts they aided farm ers whose farm hands had joined up many city boys also did long weeks of farm labour through the harvest oi the fruit season without pay or turn ing their earnings over to the red cross the wives and families of soldiers overseas were looked after one toron to troop in addition to a large war garden of its own planted and tended 15 gardens for the wives of soldiers in smaller communities there was such service as the sawing of the winters wood for war widows doing chores and running errands over long periods for families without men folks number of scouts gave valuable ser vice in hospitals one winnipeg scout putting n a total of some 600 hours in hospital attendance one toronto scout was credited with 690 hours the folding and packing of bags at red qross depot when he was just four a young lad was very much interested in a wedding that he had seen for days afterwards he would speak of nothing else one night he asked daddy have you ever been married yes of course to replied is h very hard to get manled sonny continued no his father replied we did not find it very difficult after some cog itation the young son spoke again of course it was not difficult for your because you only got married to mamma but i must marry some strange woman recruiting note at the outbreak of the great war henry was a lad in bis late teens like many other canadians be was attrac ted to the army partly by the roman ticism proper to his age partly by the conviction that it was his duty to do bis hit toward making the world safe for democracy particularly appealing to his imagination was the ubiquitoua poster showing the goldenhaired little girl asking what did you do in the great war daddy though henry was not married at the- time he felt that some day he would hg and he was going to be prepared to answer that question without embarrassment so henry enlisted in the c e p where ho semad efflcently but without special distinction until the armistice then he resumed his interrupted busi ness career and except for occasions of battalion reunions vimy dinners and the like he gradually relegated the war and his part in it to the back his mind years passed and henry acquired in the order named a wife and a-golden- haired daughter rose rather to hen rys disappointment whuerose asked questions about every conceivable sub ject the great question remained answered until this year a few weeks ago rose who reads the newspapers and listens to the radio apparently realized that there were points of similarity between the world situation now and in 1914 quite sud denly one evening she came to henry with the longawaited question what did you do in the great war daddy henry smiled modestly and answer ed 1 was a soldier dear rose said nothing for a time but she looked at her father one could see that she was mentally comparing the natty militiamen whom she had seen on ceremonial parades with henrys now far from military figure her in nocent eyes rested first on henrys balch spot passed to the fringe of grey hair beneath and rested on his mid dleaged paunch then she laughed the printed word dtfjt time table standard

of a bee during the summer months in canada is approxi mately six weeks but in winter their life must be prolonged to at least eight months to do this requires a careful study of colony strength food supply and protection in relation to wintering at one time it was thought that bees could not survive the winter in many parts of canada unless housed in spec ially constructed cellars but the apia ries of the dominion experimental farms have shown that bees can be safely wintered outside in packing cas es anywhere in canada provided the colonies are properly prepared during the previous fall
