4paob two the acton free press acton ontario thursday march 13th 15z an expression of faith tho canadian red cross society openoi its campaign for funds this week to allow a con tinuation of tho varied and important services carried onr by this organization in war and peace the red crossis ihesymbolbirolroffor human suffering this years compaign for 5222000 is dedicated in time of peace- to carry on and assist in work for the improvement of health tho prevention of disease and tho mitigation of sufformg throughout the world during the winnipeg floods ft was the rod cross who quickly responded to tho call and need for assistance from hot coffee for the dike workers to blood plasma for the mfured the red cross mot tho need the first red cross organizations were form ed immediately after tho geneva convention of 1863 and jheir original object was to assist the wounded in timo of war later their activities expanded until they covered the present wide field of humanitarian work each national socioty such as the canadian rod cross has a bond of union in the inter national committoe for the relief of the wound ed in war this committee has its headquarters at geneva switzerland for six yoars despite rising costs your red cross has continued to expand its sorvices with out increasing its oboctivo this yoar tho objec tive has been raised from 5000000 to 5200- 000 an amount barely sufficient to compensate for incroased costs of oporotion this is the ab solute operating minimum for your red cross to maintain its works of mercy it must be met and if possible exceeded your contribution helps provide the free blood transfusion service a 24 hour disaster ser vice it helps maintain outpost hospitals and nursing stations aids veterans it helps in crip plod childrens work and guards lives through red cross health and casualty services the red cross campaign is necessary and a contribution towards the maintenance of its ser vices is on expression of faith in humanitarian work no union contract the workweek has come in for some pretty drastic cutting in the last few years the five day week is becoming increasingly common ir canada about two thirds of the plant employees in the manufacturing industries and a slightly higher proportion of office employees are nor mally working five days a week states the de partmenl of labor annual report the average office staff employed full time actually is on the ob 19 per cent of the hours in the year and that does not include time out for coffee illness or ust plain loafing but despite labor reports and statistical ave rages there is still one profession that seems to attract more and more employees with no ap parent thought for work week or union contract vacations with pay are also an unthought of luxury no matter how many years the employee may have been with the company neither is there any seniority rule which sometimes leads o disagreement but seldom to arbitration yes housewives when they graduate to that status from the dreary days in an office take on the task of working an average of 59 per cent of the hours of the year or around 14 hours per day including sundays holidays and christmas especially christmas young women still aspire to the position of housewife despite the tremendous change in the working hours one editorialist contends that during the years the ladies fought for the franchise their leaders promised great things for the nation if the women received the right to vote women have not taken the part in local provincial and federal affairs that they might have he said it seems rather obvious that winning the franchise was one thing but the ladies will evi dently still have to work out a union agree mtnt to allow them time oft from their 14 hour day to pursue political careers perhaps the granting of the franchise was ust one of the bat ties tnat women think they won a truly irish day true irish all over the world will bo getting out thoir best for the wearw o tho green at tho annual celebration known as st patricks day which comes on march 17 this monday tho radio wilpearry a wide variety of irish tunes and folk songs and dvoryono will try to adopt an irish accent st patrick whom tho celebration honors lived between 396 and 469 some behove ho was born near tho site of what is now dumbar ton scotland but others contond that franco was his birthplace at the ago of 16 ho was taken captive to iroland but aftor six years he escaped feeling himself called to abolish paganism from tho land of his captivity ho studied for tho priesthood was consocratod bishop of iroland and began his missionary work there in 432 it is said that he founded 300 churches in the island and baptized moro than 12000 converts legend says he drove the snakes out of ireland and that he worked miracles the shamrock as the national emblem of iroland is said to have been used by st patrick for its three leaves to teach the doctrine of tho trinity tho wellloved tunes of danny boy wear- in o the green kathleen mavourneen the rose of tralee and others will predominate for a day and everyone will be out in green with perhaps a shamrock when the irish mark the 1 7th of march in honor of st patrick is it worth it this years ratepayers in town will be com pelled to dig down deep for the municipal taxes to operate the town but figures last year show ed that people of ontario spent 210 million on liquor municipal taxes will as ever come in for loud criticism on behalf of the taxpayers but last year without too much squawking ontario residents on the basis of four and a half million people spent an average of 46 per person or in a family of four 184 there are many thousands of children and adults in ontario who do not spend money on liquor and that means that thousands must have spent more than their 46 figuring on acton s population of 3 000 and the average spent by the residents of ontario approximately 138 000 was spent on liquor by the people of acton that amount of money would have paid this years taxes for every ac ton ratepayer if the mill rate had been 60 mills liquor is not important enough to warrant an expenditure of 210 million the total value of field crops grown in ontario last year every thing from wheat to potatoes was about 450 millon yet we spent almost half as much for liquor as was paid to farmers for all the crops they produced it is useless to point out how many schools could be built with 210 million or how many pairs of shoes that money could buy or how many homes could be built or how many pupils might have been sent to university instead of stopping school it is ust as useless to point out how much good work can be done by the province with the 40 million which it collects in taxes the 210 million amount will not be reduced until the people themselves realize that 210 million dollars worth of liquor in a year is not worth it that they are getting poor value for the 210 million and that they could get better value more happiness and greater satisfaction by spending the money in other ways editorial notes our congratulations to our neighbouring con temporary the georgetown herald on acquir ing fine new larger promises in georgetown we understand that with the move to newquarters several new pieces of equipment have been ad ded including a new newspaper press which is to go into
