Everybody work- cd. and the combined labour joined to contcntmcnt enablcd familles - large ones- to npke steady progress- even ta cstab- lish the foundations of a degree of affluence. It is truc. of course. that as praspemity came. these pioncers began to softcn thcir hardships. and that the children began to flit from home- to go to towns and cities. Well. aIl this sort of cxpcriencc and history can be repeatcd today. J CK I am not talking foolishly. I have been reading a good deal about the change which is taking place in the social and economic conditions of farmers, miners and fisher folk in Nova Scotia. Owing to cicumstances which need not be gone into. these thrcc classes of people had sunken into a state of complete despair, peonage and illiteracy. Thcy wcrc being "gyp- ped" at every turn. Thcy wcmc in financial bondage apparcntly hopclcssly. They had become embittemcd. Life was wretchcd- ncss f: )m one years end to the other. Then hegan that most ama7ing movement sponsorcd by St. Xav- icr Univcrsity at Antigonish and by Fathcr Tompkins. Father Tompkins first began the miracul- ous work dcsigncd to escue thcsc thre classes of workcms from their Slough of Despond. He had the suffering and dcspairing people meet in their homes, to study simple economics and to consider ways of escape from their ensnarcmcnt. It took litcmally years to get seeds plantcd and to have thcm emerge in new forms. I shahl assume that my eadcrs knuw sometthing of the marvelous dcvciopments of the free enter- prise among Nova Scotia farmers. miners and fishermen. Thcy have delivercd thcmselves out of their bondage. Thcy arc happy-heamted and visionful. They have cash incomes adequate for their simple necds. They- have roads and schools whcre afometime there weme none. They have begun to build themsclves ncw homes- to replace thcshacks which wcmc ugly bcyond the power of words to describe. One does not know what will be the future of these people - whcther or not their childrcn will be content to carry on what their parents have begun sa wondcr- fully. But what may happen in the future does not matter much. What does matter is: these Nova Scotians, ight before our eycs. have solvcd their cconomic prob- lems and arc having an undrcam- cd of measure of social comforts and cnjoymcnts. What has been donc in Nova Scotia can be donc in Ontario, and may be donc in Ontario, whcn we have leaders, prophets and priests like Father Tompkins and the principles of St. Xavier Univer- sity. It may be harder to get going in Ontario than in Nova Scotia, for the lot of our people in On- tario is incomparably better than was the lot of the communities whcrc Father Tompkins began his ministry of redemption. It takes cruel adversîty to make a people ready to submit themsclves to the tcachings and commandmcnts of their leaders. Also, it takes one- ness betwecn husband and wife to make a succcss of an enterprise similar to that of the Nova Scotia fammers, fishermen and miners. These Nova Scotia people con- tinued in their original occupa- tions; thcy did not alI become farmners. But each group became a unity; individualîsmn was intol- erable and would have been dis- rupting. J CK That man in the vicinity of' Orillia might be farthem ahead every way today if he had fel- lowshlp in a pooled or co-oper- ative enterprise of the Nova Scotia pattern. But he had and has the Nova Scotia spirit - which is to save himself without extreme dependence on outside sources of aid and sympathy. Rightly or wrongly I feel that the majomity of our young people in Ontario arc city-tied: they have not the courage to leave the city and their present manner of life. Thcy are handcuffed to, the Joneses, and must kcep up with this sinister family. Both husband and wife want softness- want motor cars, want the movies, want bridge, want the froth of inter- changed visits. All about us arc young persons wanting to get married, but arc kept back from marriage because of inadequate income. And all about us are with the following results: F.

This makes a good hvý Bridge salad. ---Jessie Allen Brown - Vessels Rest in the Mud One of the queerest sights is to see ocean going boats resting on mud flats. The Bay of Fundy is rioted for its high tides and the tidal rivers flowing into it high tide and noath i ng but mud flats at harbors in the Annapolis Va ley at high tide the %;essels wili be at the whar ' _ ves with their Jessie Allen decks ab o ut Brown on a level with them A few hours later the tide has ebbed, the water is ahl gone and there are the vessels away below the wharves just resting in the mud. It amazes me every time I sec the wide expanse of water and a few hours later nothing but red mud flats. Steamers have to an- chor outside to wait for the tide if they happen to arrive when the water is low. Provide Good Reading The number of trashy maga- zines, the so-called pulps. that are read in Canada, was discussed at the National Home and School convention, the idea of some of the members being that the gov- ernment should do something about it. The obvious suggestion was overlooked. If children and young people had enough good reading, they would be less apt to form a taste for the pulps. Home and School Associations can be of great assistance in building up lib- raries of good books and maga- zines both in the schools and in the community. School libraries are very often poorly chosen. The idea seems to be that if a book is old, it must be good. We our- selves don't want a steady diet of classics and books that have- been written years ago to read. Neither do our children. There are plenty of good modern books from which ta choose. It is surprising how many books may be collected by asking for donations. Teachers use books and magazines even in the smaller classes these days if they are available. If the boys have a chance to read the Geo- graphical magazines, or Science and Aviation ones, most of them will choose themn rather than the trash. Many communities have fine libraries but there arc too many that lack them. Home aind School Associations have a great work to do in encouraging read- ing in old and young. The gov- ernment rccently banned cleven magazines from entering Canada. I wondcr how many organizations had the courtesy to express their approval. Wc condenin much quicker than we praise. Equal lVork There is a widcsprcad objection ta paying equal salaries to men and women for equal work, the theory bcing that men have a family to support and women keep only themselves. There are some women workers who have onîx' themselves to keep but there are a surprising number who have family obligations. Women tea- chers invariably get lowcr salar- ies than the men. In one large city school, over two-thirds of the women on the staff were helping their familles. One woman who is well on in her forties told me that next ycar, when hem youngest brother gaduated, she expected to be finished with hclping her family. She started to work at eighteen and shie neyer yet has been able to have her own pay- cheque for *herseif. Conditions have changed since women start- cd in the business world, but it is hard for men to break away from their feeling of superiority. Bath Towel Curtains We have seen ginghams, prints, voiles and dress goods generally being used for curtains. Indian print bedspreads are popular and oilcloth is fequently used. An ingenious bride has used bath towcls in both kitchen and bath roomn for curtains and they arc most attractive. One pair are solid green with a pattern across the ends; the others have shades from orange to pale yellow run- ning vertically. They arc very smart looking curtains, inexpen- sive and easy to launder. Maybe some of you would like to exper- iment with them.

It is proven how- ever that more than haîf the de- fects have nothing ta do with cither aid age or even middle age but are due ta defects cominon ta the cyes and may be found in the cyes of the child as in the eycs of those of more mature years.
