Wonderful Work By Health Nurses Among the Children Public Health Nurses in the United Counties af Northumber- land-Dunrham made 7,932 visits ta 2,508 homes during the period, Jan. lst ta Sept. 30, accarding ta a release made by the United Caunties Health Unit at Cobourg.

"You and I are in- fluenced by colours," bhe stated, "and na motter where colours are, they will influence US."' ,,Look at Nature," he said, "Who daesn't revel in the, foul? Who doesn't blush with the beauty of calour on a walk in spring?" The. speaker posed puzzled by the fear ai colour made manifest by tbe peoples recorded in bistory.

Dr. Osborne said «colout, could also be found in literature. "Take Dickens, for example," he said, "When you finished reading Oli- ver Twist, if you're like me, you wil not have a very colourful feeling." He said a dark colour permeated tii. nove!. But on the other hand, Plckwick papers lit a bright colourful feeling in the speaker. He sald nmoderni novelists are becomlng aware that they must include gardens, flowers and per- sons whose lives exude vitality In their books if they expect them to seli. Colour is one reason people are attracted to a novel, even though it is an unconscious attrac- tion. In the field of music, Dr. Os- borne said there was very littie colour at first. Symphonies did not include a great deal of colour. The works of Beethoven lack col- our, he said, but Mozart, on the other hand. incorporated a great deal of colour into bis compos- ition. In conclusion, Dr. Stanley Os- borne quoted an oid Chines. Pro- verb: "The five colours well ap- plied," h'e said, "enlighten the world." Speaker Thanked Another man of the cioth, ]Rev. Sam Henderson of Trinity United Church, thanked Dr. Osborne for "this most unusual speech in this day of coid materialism by a man who is steeped in colour." Presi- dent Jack Eastaugh added bis thanks to that of Mr. Henderson at the close of the meeting. THOUGHTS ON RAIL WAY STRIKE (By Lewis Milligan The railway strike has been a costly affair for the Canadian peopie. The millions of dollars lost to the raiiways and ta the strikers themselves are only a part of what has been lost to the country generally in the suspen- sion of trade and commerce. But from the point of view of the rail- way empioyees alone, the strike was injuriaus to their own in- terests. Whatever they may have gained in increased wage rates and reduced working hours (and it must be remembered that these were granted in large measure before the strike) they have su£- fered the total loss of take-home pay, and they have deprived the railway companies of millions of dollars of income. Sa that the companies are now less able ta meet the increased costs involved in the union demands than they were before. Moreover. the teni- porary suspension of rallway ser- vices may result in the perman- ent diversion of traffic taotCher means of transportation. The lesson to be learned froni this strike-and it applies to al strikes in these days af highly organized and integrated indus- tries and services-is that em- ployees cannot injure their em- ployers without injuring their own vital interests. Ahl indus- tries, businesses and services de- pend for their maintenance and their very existence upon the good will and faithful co-opera- tion between employees and man- agement. Antagonism between the two is mutuaily destructive and suicidai. Extreme demands from one side or the other are bad business, and when tbey are carried to the extreme by em- pioyees refusing to work it is worse business for &Il directly and indirectiy concerned. In former days employers could report ta a lockout to enforce their terms, but that privilege was denied them by law. But for ail practical purposes a strike is a lockout imposed upon employ- ees by union negotiators to en- force their full demands upon the employer.

Indeed, an employer could easily use a strike for a lockout il he thought It more profitable ta close down bis plant than submlt ta the de- mands of a union. The. plain truth in that ln eiiect the strike is no less vicious and injurious ta union workers than the lockout. In iew, if any, of the. big strikes in recent years have the unions secured any bet- ter ternis mter months of turmoil and loss of wages thany they were- ofiered at thie close ot the negotiatians. They had eventu- ally to submit ta arbitration. which they could have done in the first place and saved the workers from the. complete ioss of their take-home play, and the industry from a total loss of bus- iness and income-to say noth- ing of the disruptive effect on the local community anîd associ- ated industries. I have personally witnessed, ln- vestigated and reported many strikes, and in none of them could 1 flnd any reason or common sense for all the trouble they brought on the community and lmpoverishment to thie strikers and their families. The right to quit work is every man's persan- al privilege, but the right to org- anize and virtually regiment a mass walkout fram an industry or service upon which a community or the nation at large depnds. is not a right at al-it is wrong. It in a form of insurrection. The strike was excusable and necessary in the aid days when workers were ground down ta less i RAW BLACK-STRAP MOLASSES 390 - 650 OIT AHEAD WITHI . .. .. .
