The odd twist in this storY ir, that, the lady who worked so bard, so many years, ta giVe others an enjoyable day, was ne- ver invited (in thirty years) ta have a Tbanksgving day's outing at the expense o! any one of seav- eral fairly well ta do relatives.

D. Tolton addressed the Simcoe Area Convention of the Federated Women's Institutes o! Ontario at Barrie on the sub- ject a! "Public Relations and the Community". Quating Charlesý Edison, formerly Secretary of the United States Navy and son of the famous Thomas Alva Edison who said "If civilization is to sur- vive we must speed up our social sciences so that the produqts of the physical sciences xiii be used constnuctively instead of destruct- ively." Prof. Tolton developed the thought that Public Relations 'be- long in the realm of social science. Social science is the prodLlct of human engineering. The buman engineer must bave personality and charm, backed 'by motives and actions that are directed to- ward a common good. The individual 'must recognize and assume bis share of responsi- bility for group action the strength o! whic'h is commeasurate with the interest of its members. The finished product of the science of human engineering.is Public Re- lations. four chanactenistics must be en- cauraged,--self-disciplifle, cour- age, imagir.atlln and timeliness. "Tlhese four cardinal characteris- tics rest on a twelve point basis", ;aid the speaker, -1. Alertness, 2. Energy; 3. Planning; 4. Research; 5. Judgement; 6. Humility; 7. Sac- rifice; 8. Faith; 9. Sincerity; 10. Service; il. Honesty; 12. Under- standing." "lItis the privilege and oppor- tunity of t.he Public Relations en- deavour to encourage the devýelop- ment of each of these seif-explan- atory characteristics." "The mot- to of your Women's Institute of Ontario is 'For Home and Coun- try' ". "Your Institute memorial- ized the Public Relations job done by Mrs. Watt and Mrs. C. C. James, and every one of you are potential Public Relations afficers. charged with the development of your Women's Institute." When you return to your homes will yau flot look about you and see wh at can be done to develop your communities. Our democrat- ic way of life furnishes us with the privilege of serving our com- munities. Local needs may meitý your attention, such as lighting for the sports centre o! your boys and girls throughout the fail and winter nights and development of entertainment to supplant the beer parlor menace; development of debating and acting; or pursuit of hobbies or shows. Such ques- tions as the educational facilities of your community, the conscr- vation of natural resources and the application of modern science in your community would no doubt be of great interest and value. Best things are hardest to -et but are worth waiting and working for." White-Collar By Joseph Lister Rutiedge There are stili tbose who sec a great guif between the work shirt and the white collar, between the wage earner and the salary cann- er. In days past it was easy ta create the impression that with the white coliar went the major part of tbe material advantagcs cf effort. Even today there are niany persans wbo strive, with ingenuity wortby o! a sounder cause, ta keep that fiction alive. Anaconda American Brass Ltd., of New Toronto, in a paid adver- tisemc-nt, bas taken this argu- meht into the open and, using its own employment and payroll figures, has exposed its fallacy Ini 1948, the bourly-rated workers of the company-the production and maintenance men-bench- men, macbinists, rollers, casters, watchmen and janitors represent- ed 80¼ý, of the company's total payroli whilc its fonemen, clrks, Irnbedded deep in the sands alang tbe bank o! the St. Law- rence River are the footpnints of the makers o! Canada-those who called it New France, those who made it British Canada and those who wished ta make il part of the American Republic. For centuries this mighty watcrway was the bighway ta the intenion o! a ncw continent. Up its broad course came the first explorer and the first missionary, tbe anc in searcb o! a western sea, the othen of pagan souls to, save. Following clasely camne the picturesque fur traders, the soldiers ta garnison the far-flung outpasts and the early settiers. Along its banks were wagcd many o! the battles in the stnuggle for the conquest o! Vis niew land. In canoc, batteau and sbip they, in turn, passed in neview, Indian, Fnencbman and Englishman. Along the St. Law- rence, more so tban anywbere cîse in the country, is the story of Canada told. Cornwall. easternmost City in' Ontario, contibutes a chapter in the stary told by the St. Law- rence. Indeed, Cornwall is more closely linked witb tbe river than any other town or City. For here, as nowhciÎe else in the Province, the flow o! the proud waters of this majestic rivr are controlled -by means o! tbe eleven mile long Cornwall Canal. Unlike most o! ber sister com- munities, Cornwall played no part in the bordér strife and war- fare that, for so many years, was rufe along the river-ber bistory antedates that ena. Tbat tbis is s0 is perhaps due ta the location o! Cornwall, at tbe foot o! the storied Longue Sault Rapids. The rapids hehd no attraction ta ex- plorers and soldiers; this was a section o! the river ta be passed in haste, and also with toil and danger. And sa it was flot until the year 1784, aftcr the guns along thd river had beeh stilled for ahl time, that settlement occurred at thc foot o! the napids. But this was no occurrence o! chance. Cornwall was planned and laid out as a townsite by Govcnnment officiais as tbe center o! a United Empire Loyalist settiement and originally named Jabnstawn, after that prominent Loyalist leader, Sir John Jobnson. How wise a select- ion was made is apparent in the Cornwall o! to-day, a city of 30,000 population, the largest community between Kingston and Montreal, and the manu!acturing center o! soutb-castcnn Ontario. 1The year 1834 was the turning point in the story o! Cornwall. In that ycan a start was made on the construction o! the !irst canal and eight years latcr the arnYiy o! rough navvies bad completed the bypass o! the boiiing turmoil of the Longue Sault Rapids. From that date, river tna!fic was guided safeiy ta a quiet anchorage at the town o! Cornwall. Industries la- catcd bere and four ycars ago Cornwall was incorporated as a City. Situated in close proximity to the junctian o! the State of New York and the Provinces o! Que- bec and Ontario, Cornwalis a meting pot of the British and French races with an internation- al outlook.

Now the total o! all saaries. from top management down, repre- sented siglitly mote than a'millioni dollars. The houniy-rated warkers received a little more than tbree million dollars in wages. Sa the 80% a! workers received 75% of the total payrahl. The 20 % of salaried workers, including the top management, received 25 cl o! the total payroll. This doesn't seem ta be giving the white coliar worker any exceDtional break. But perhaps that's just a speci- fic case. Let's have a loak at that argument taa. Let's consider the whole working force in industry. We chaose the year4 1943 only be- cause that is the last yean for which we have a bneakdown as between wages and salaries in Dominion Bureau o! Statistics figures. Houriy-rated employees represented 82% o! ail those em- ployed in industry from coast ta coast. The remaining 18%7 repre- sented the white-collar wonken top-brass o! management. In that yeah the hourly-rate dworkers received in wages $1,598,431>78 out of a total payrall o! $1,Ï87,292. 384. Figure it any way you like and this still means that 82% of the workers received 80% of the money paid out in bath .salaries and wages, and the white-collar wvorker, including again the top- brass of management, was satis- fied with a bare 20%. It makes us wonLler bow anyone can go around waving that bedraggied argument that the saiaried work- ers, littie and big. are getting all the advantage. Workers and man- agement are a lot closer than the agitators would have us believe. Top management must serve a long &pprenticeship in minor po- sitions before reaching the toffi job. The bourly worker steps frpr apprenticeship into full pay. He who wauld arrive at the ap- pointed end must follow a single road and not wander through many ways.-Seneca.
