Dollar Year Secretary Former Durham Boy Living in California Another story of how Cana- dians made good in the U.S.A. is told in the Dec. 20 issue of the Ocean Beach Reporter, Jackson- ville Beach, Florida. Its leàding editorial pays tnibute to J. B. Arnot, on bis retirement as Sec- retary of tbe Beaches Chamber of Commercé. As secretary over a period of six years, at a salary of only one dollar per year, Mn. Arnot neyer missed a day at bis office during that time. The story states that as a businessman he gave bis time and money unsel- fishly to promote t4ie interests of bis community. He neyer sought publicity or even recognition but went on with the job day after day. He was tendered an ovation on bis retire- ment. A copy of the Flonida pa- per which was forwarded to the editor of The Statesman, was ac- companied with the following in- formation of local interest: J. B. Arnot's mother was the former Agnes Heal of Bowman- ville who stili enjoys good heaith at the age of 98. His fathen was a first cousin of the late Albert Ar- not of Enniskillen, wbose daugh- ter is lins. (Dr.) L. B. Williams, Toronto.

HOW TO RETIRE AND LIVE The Financial Post agrees with Dr. Harvey Agnew, secretary, Canadiafn Hospital Council, that the quickest way to end the life of a hobbyless businessman is to tell himi to retire. "Dr. Agnew's sensible warning applies to more than high pres- sure business executives," comn- ments The Post, "though statistics seemi to indicate that they are the more susceptible to sudden col- lapse. Shonter woxking hours and wider extension of pension schernes are giving ail of us more leisure. If that spare tirne is merely spent in physical and men- tal idieness, however, there will ýbe no gain either for the individ- ual or the world at large. Both mind and body quickly deterior- ate unless put to use. "Despite the loss of bis tbrone and, for a time, the tbreat of the hangman's noase, the late Kaiser Bill of Germany added 20 years to his life by sawing wood at Doorn. Lots of less celebrated people have done the samne thing but with less strenuous and more interesting hobbies. Many find what they need in growing flow- ens or vegetabies, in painting, photography, various fonms of collecting, travelling, study, fish- ing, or scores of other pursuits. "Within reach of any man there are iiterally hundreds of hobbies, into whîch hie can put as little or as rnuch effort and skill as. bis fil We Wisk To 'Announce you.
