IN SIRANCE PHONE 4400 Confederation Lif e Company" Demonstrates Social Services Couceru of Management An employees social club i n the heart of downtown Toronto, with appointments and facilities the equal of any maintained by business and professional "ty- coons" is the answer of theCon- federation, Life Association that office workers and employees generally are just as much en- titled to social amenities during the warking day as those wba have acquired financial means for leisured luxury. And the parallel goes further by demonstrating that modern management under aur free enterprise system can iestablish practical sacialism with- out state aid or contrai. Opposite the huge red-sand- stone building at Victoria and ,Richmond Streets, Toronto, the ahome office of the Canfederat- ion Life Association, is a two- istorey brick building, fitted out completely as a club and social centre for the entire staff of the scompany, numbering more than 500 people. The building was purchased by the management same years ago for its present purpose. Requisitianed tempor- arily for possible use by the Air Force ealy in the war it was fin- ally opened as an employees club five years ago. Much thougbt was given ta sel- ecting a namne for the club and ta plans for its administration. Off i- cially it is known as the Confed- eration Life Staff House. Prim- arily canceived' as a real club for employees it was turned aver for management ýby the Confedemation Life Staff Association in which no officer af the company can hold office. The Staff House is rent- ed ta the Staff Association and is contmolled in aIl particulars un- ider its administration. Chie! credit for setting up this highly appreciated accommod- ation gaes ta Victor R. Smith, President of Confederation Life, wba won the support of t h e Board af Directors in the pro- ject. Born in Part Hope, a Dur- ham County boy, Mr. Smith, a gald medallist at'Toronto Univ- ersity, joined the company as an actuary andi bas risen step by step ta lhis present position. AI- ways interested in the success of Durham County boys who have made good in large affairs, the editor of The Statesman sought information an this club for em- ployees and recently had dinner with Mr. Smith whose enthus- iam led ta a personal tour of the premises. This stary is a brief summary o! what was shown, the impress- ions gained', during an interest- ing noon-hour. The club building, an unpre- possessing exterior, is a marvel o! architecture and interior decor- ation from the entrance lobby throughout its many rooms. Pil- lars, staircase, walls avoid the angular and feature the curved, smooth surfaces now generally popular. Walls are tinted a shade o! blue proved most restful for eyesight and the motif is further projected in the furnishings, chairs, tables, chesterfields and other appaintments tbroughout. Experts were given a free hand in this transformation. The roams include a lounge and board room for senior executives, like accommodation for junior of- ficials and the employee execut- ive and large separate library lounges for men and women em- ployees. There are also game- rooms for table tennis, chess, cards and other amusements. Pop- ular magazines and a lending li- brary are at hand and a piano is available in -the ladies lounge. More than that a ladies' dressing room, witb a 20 foot mirror provides privacy for the touchup witb beauty-aids before going out for the evening. Then there are separate raoms fitted with lockers and shower baths freely available, summer or winter. The entire menage is kept spotlessly clean under dir- ection of a resident caretaker who is aiso a genial hast ta visitors privileged ta accompany officiaIs at meals from time ta time. A main feature is the privilege of getting home-coakedi meals at nominal cost, down tawn, amidst elaborate, restful surraundings. Employees simply step across the street ta enjoy excellent meals instead of baving ta stand in line Cledninu 4Made IIdsyI I By Scnding Us Your 1 .DRAPES aCURTAINS CUSHION COVERS *PILLOWS QUILTS We have a Laundry or Cleaning Service to Take Care of Al Your Requirements.

To ac- commodate the entire staff, the * oums are staggered which per- mit complete service with no one waiting for a table. A more complete picture of real club accomodation would be bard to flnd anywhcre. But the interests o! employecs are car- ried 'furtber in the home office building. On the main floor is a room fittedi up as a stand-up bar serving milk, chocolate drinks and like refresbment. Ernplayees get rest periods, mor- ning and afternoon ta cnjoy tbis accomodation. A president of a large corpor- ation is usually pictured as an i m- macuiately dressed individual i most inaccessible ta ordinary em- ployees. But President Victor Smith, as be went about was merely one of a large staff all on a familiar level. As we came away this relationship witb employees was quite in accord with the ideas worked out in practical form un- der bis leadersbip, ta make office life immeasurably attractive. The Confederation Life at its 75th birthday- bas certainly came of age. ST. JOHN'S CHOIR ANNUAL Rev. J. deP. Wright, presided at tbe annual meeting of St. John's Churcb Choir. Miss Edythe Carter gave the secretary-trea- surer's report sbowing a substan- tial balance and a total member- sbip of 47.

THE FIIGHT STILL TO BE WON Out of the ashes of world war, who would not like ta see a new world rise, this time on sound moral foundations? Who would not like ta sec a world where there is bonesty o! act and decency o! motive? Who would flot like ta find self-giving rather than self-seeking? Who does not want tbe unity that would came in and between men and nations if they made the fight for this kind o! world their common ideolagy? But who will fight in this new way? And how? Haven't we tried everything? New systems? New gavernments? New education? Haven't we given men freedom, hoping they would be decent wben we gave tbem their heads? Then, wbcn that did not work, baven't we taken their freedom back again? We overlook, however, an ex- periment that bas worked. We have found that men behave well wben, instead of tying their hands, or giving tbem their heads, xve give thcm aur hearts. There are already men in the world who are neither slaves, forced ta do what is right, nom anarchists creating chaos by do- ing wbat tbey please. Nom are H they half-viay middle-of-the- road men who are neither one thing nor the other. They are ail-out fighters for what's right, doing what is right by preference. They have found that, in their heart of hearts, it is always pos- sible ta, know what's right. And that, if they but ask God's help, it is always possible ta want ta do it. Sometimes they find it bard. DON'T DELAY! ODntario profits alxnost as much from the tourist business as from the gold mining industry. It's up ta us ta kecp this businests grovnng. IHE Sometimes they fail. But always they admit difficulty and failure. Always they challenge others by the challenge of the lives they lead themselves. Always they win others rather than compel them. Always they seek ta wm men who can bring world re- naissance which makes themn strategic as well persistent fighters. Anit s always pos- sible for you and me t join them.
