of other people are orten of such fragilesubstance made we need to show and speak them very quickly tor like the flowers they are so swift to fade the impulses to friendly loving ac tlons that grow upon us in a generous mood are those e must not miss lest we should lose them and fail to do some fair and lasting good its such a pity when our kind in ten tlons vanish like petals dropping from our sight ut its such a joy when generous thinking iseads lovely acts like flowers towards the light what other papers have to say treasures fob posterity christian science monitor vvho ever dreamed that some day the contents of a small boys poc jtets would be preserved for posterity and not only of one boy but or se veral into a steel box sealed in the oornertsone of the new madison square boys club in new york the other day went a collection when boys marched past it and turned their poc kets inside out to fill a time capsule of typical boyhood of course there was a jacknife tops marbles and a magnet yes and even a piece of wire and a wad of knotted string one boy sacrificed a lollipop for posterity there are other treasurers which might have come from the pockets of such boys as we used to know what no fishhooks and sinkers no nail or two no suspender buckle no ball no whistle no smooth stone from the creek no apple cores no stamps to trade no jack straws no chunk of putty no stubby pencil no acorns or horse chestnuts but anyway articles enough got in to the box to reveal someday much about boys of today blind who are receiving special grants 33000 children being caved for by special agenejes 1000 infirm or homeless persons in charitable inetl tutlons an 90000 mothers and child rn who are being supported under the terms of the mothers allowance plan in addition the hospitals find that the number of indigent patients is in creasing and dhe mental institutions have many inmates who cannot pay their way even if through war and the mo mentum of industry we were to

citizens are dependent on the first group thus the buying power or a score of people has been lost to the town of bowman ville that is just one of many angles affecting the closing this week of the oldest baker in this communl ty this calamity if it may be termed such brings cloe home the undesir able conditions which exist in many small towns and which we have dis cussed in these columns before that of outside bakers being allowed to peddle their goods m town without paying a cent of taxes think of it fifteen out of town brands of bread being sold in a town of less than four thousand population this is in addl lion to our two local bakers what is the outcome the survival of the fittest you say and what a penalty citizens are unconsciously pay ing for this modem trend of elimln ation of the small town baker by the all powerful millowned and chain store bakers whose chief interest is dividends certainly not the welfare of the community the ruthless competition these mo gul bakeries use by their cut throat and unethical methods is driving hundreds of town bakers to the wall onlya couple of weeks ago we record ed the discontinuance of newcastle s old established baker who is taking the place of these industrious and highly respected ba kers who are such an important part of every town public spirited in build in gup their communities supporters of all worthy causes raise families who are a credit to the town and i employment to many local peo pie its a certainty a delivery boy with his horse and wagon sent here by his remote controlled capitalistic baker cannot

which is pas slbly a first step to a criminal re cord almost invariably the account concludes with the words the youth was unemployed this gives rise to opportunity for castlgation of the government which isfjrupposed to be able if it desires to conjure employment for the masse out of thin air or to a denunciation of the capitalistic system to which presumably all critics place the blame where we believe it rightfully belongs right in the home the modem child is a stranger to work and the disappearance of a work environment is causing child ren to grow up without experiencing the zest of work or appreciation of the value of money no longer does the aerage boy team as much about work around his own hoi as did his fa ther and he ought to learn now for his own good not so long ago in dunnvtlle when there was a moderate or heavy snow fall the sidewalks were shovelled clean in short order by an army of boys and dad had something to say about it if junior did a slovenly job now dad wades through drifts to his knees j paused occasionall to grumble about the condition of his nihbors side walk and plows a path into his owm home to find a husky bo sprawled in a chair listening to the radio any protect is met with the replj what ihe heck the relief gus ought to have been along here an hour ago and dad agrees that that s so too it s a wonder somebodj wouldn t get some action considering the relief costs what the heck that in our opinion is one of the basic causes of a lot of grief today and for the future boys who were bojs forty or nfl ears ago espect ally on a farm or in a countr vll ae remember their work and chores as a io rot as guidance or chara cltr building looking back they ma hae realized their value as such n later life but in thoe das nil ing the wood box in the frost twl light wasn t reall a chore it was a prelude tc a warm cheerful evening in the farmhoue with next da s les ons lean ed in the glow of a kero sene amp beside a big dish ol pop com or northern sp apples in those halcyon days chores in door and out were a wa of life bos expected to be called upon to sacrl flee some time from play for their proper performance there wras a keen glow of satisfaction in the eompje lion of good job and gradual there was bom in the bov some reall ration of the fact that he wras a really userul member of the tamil that he was contributing something to the family life and usual he was to be found in later life contributing ser vice to his communit that is why we have fine towns like dunnvllle throughout ontario toda boys who learned the value of work on the tarm and in their village homes grew to useful manhood thorough lmbu ed with the belief that there was a virtue in work and possessed of the idea that achievement must founded upon labor many of those men went out into larger spheres of activity than the small town they helped to build the dominion of can ada today our crying need is for more j work instruction in the home it i need not be so onerous as to become i distasteful to growing boys who after all need some recreation but should be sufficient to create in them an appreciation of the value or work and to teach them that useful hands are less likely to become invohed through sheer boredom and futllit in p irsuttf which result in no production but trouble j endless relief problems welland tribune while canada s relief recipients are 100 000 less than they were last win ter the problem has not been solved by any means there still are 725 000 persons in canada who are unable to supply their own subtenancy how long these figures will represent the situation is unpredictable the war has provided jobs tor some but it is estimated by the canadian wei fare council that agricultural recovery in the west has been the most 1m portant single factor in the rehabtll tatlon of the 100 000 former relief re cipdents who have become self sus the war has not yet called a large contingent of man power and industry is- not t
