of these categor ies the problem seems to be what to do about it how to best solve maior conflicts ebout wages working conditions the fear of automation the economic implications of pricing our products out of the world market government has fallen short of its ob- ugations by ridiculous settlements with lab our unions in companies completely or par tially controlled by government this has set frightening pattern of demands in private faekistry where a union once asked for a 2 or 3 wage rise it is cbmmon to read of de mands as high as thirty per cent today where fringe benefits like

bit of rural landscape les jn i free society are in business to make reasonable profits for shareholders labour is interested in a just wage and a comfortable jiving and as prices of staples spiral men find it harder and harder to enjoy the necessities and some of the lux unes which our country affords if government and industrial econom ists can come up with no answer it is dif ficult for any one else to help solve the problem but it would appear to us thst perhaps the only solution would be for companies to adopt a profit sharing plan to strive to make obs less of the assembly line drudgery and more individualistic to return to the days a few decades ago when a man could have justifiable pride in his work and to realize the importance of his part of the production pattern to the over all product labour unions in their turn should ease concentration on completely material ben efrts and also shore in a program of com pany loyalty product improvement and emphasis on skill the tendency has been to equalize industrial positions to the point where it is relatively uninteresting for e men to aspire to position at the top be cause his benefits are too slight compared with the

beneficial for the town the zeal and dedication of the group of men and women who have worked to wards fulfilment of this is to be admired and we wish them a long and fruitful ser vice in future years right in the middle of town streams and trees and grass in their natural state are hard to improve on and for this kind of outing the new park is ideal meanwhile larger projects like band shells theatres botanical gardens swim ming pools can be discussed and dreamed about for who knows what the future will bring facilities involving maor expendi tures are something which don t materialize overnight but they never come at all with out such talk the advantage of centennial park is that we can enjoy it now while visualizing what could be in future iew desigi for the cmidiah dollar sugar

ex cose of the intellectually laty is it really desirable to con form at all cost in the busin ess world in order to bold a the ads which to the casu i onlooker may look like non conformist are largely created by this same business world to make a profil shouldnt a young person entering the business world or any other world for that matter be made aware by his or her elders that there are limits to how far one should f llow the advice of one s supervisors and still remain an honourable person the editorial suggests a materialistic view of life it says in essence that as long as you are successful in making money in your job dont worry about the consequence if we believe democracy is the way of life which grants the greatest freedom to the in dividual if we believe that it is the finest way of an educat ed population to govern itself if we believe that little nhl founder sends appreciation weston ontario september 14th i960 dear mr editor may i in this way express my sincere
