rimTWU _________________________ 'HOLIDAYS FOR HEALTH'S SAKE The business of getting away for a few days at regular intervals is just as important ta good health as a good night's sleep on a regular basis. Just as the day's work always seerns a bit easier after a complete rest, the year ahead can be met in a better frarne of mind after a restful and relaxing holiday. Tensions of work, worry and domestic difficulties often resuit in a seriaus wear and tear on the hurnan mind and body. If allawed to continue without relaxation serious damnage ta mental or physical health can resuit. Excessive fatigue which is caused by overwork or worry can be fought toaa degree by keeping regular hours and en- joying plenty of sleep. But the littie everyday worries sornetimes have a habit of piling up one on the other f rom day to day, week ta week and month ta month. Then is when a vacation cornes in handy. When planning a vacation, the basic requirement should be relaxation. There should be a complete break with the usual daily routine. Forget about the job, it will still be here when you get back. Trouble with many persons is that they find it bard to relax - in f act, a lot of us don't know bow ta relax. The con- stant drive of the daily grind is such an accepted part of aur lives that anything else is entirely foreign. But we can learn to relax the same as we can learn any- thing else. Everyone of us has some pet hobby, sport, or other recreation. The idea of the holiday is ta get out and enjoy what we want ta do, cbarging up aur batteries for the year ahead. The best way ta do is ta take a holiday tbat provides a change, play and plenty of relaxation. AGRICULTURE 15 IMPORTANI4 Agriculture is stili the country's larg- est basic industry in which one-third of the nation'u population is directly engaged. No businessman can afford ta overlook the effect of agriculture upon bis trade. The housewife buying food, the railway worker and trucker bauling farm products, al processors of tbese products and people ini many otber walks of life bave a vital interest in the fortunes of the farmer. During the past decade, farmers bave enjoyed a measure of prosperity which bas been reflected along the line ta every in- dustry and individual in the country. Most farrn product prices bave been re- latively high but costs also bave increased, High production through irnproved meth- ods and greater mechanization have great- ly belped ta maintain the farmers' econ- amic position and prevented any very serious situation. Durham County f armers. tell us that farmn costs are now rising at a greater rate than is bis incarne. They are costs beyond bis ability to control and bis prosperity may soon show a decline if this rise is not cbecked. Shortages of staple food itemns will become apparent and eventually priced far bigber than they are today be- cause of changes in farrn production ta more profitable lines, or reduced product- ion ta cut lasses on certain lines. We bave seen this happen in the but- ter market. Substitutes have not been the only cause for low production of this pro- duct. Egg prices and supplies have fluc- tuated f rom the same cause, and it will bappen ta other lines of farm produce. It will successively and adversely affect many others flot directly engaged in agri- culture, but reliant upon it, unless steps are taken ta allow a reasonable margin of prof it on operations or hold the cost of bis essential materials down in relation to bis incarne. Agriculture is not an industry ta ex- ploit or overlook. SOME SIGNIFICANT FACTS In thé United States in 1929 emnployees received 50,8 billion dollars.

MMET218t IlU UN FIag for Colombia'a Korean Batudion AN OPTIMISTIC FORECAST An effective antidote ta pessimism is provîded by- Dr. Sumner H. Slicbter, Lamant Professor of Economics at Har- vard, in his new book, "Wbat's Abead for American Business." Prof. Slichter is sure the distinguish- ing characteristic of the economy will continue ta be the large scopé it offers for individuala ta be tbemselves, ta make their own devisions, ta niake their living as they see fit. The Harvard economist then con- trasta what ConMmunisrn offers the individ- uhl. Simply the opportunity ta be a cog in a vast machine, ta do what he is told ta do in the way that he is told ta do it, ta canform, ta b. an efficient part of the larger vehicle, ta bebave according to plan. Prof. Slicbter is flot dismayed by the prospect of new problems and difficulties. An economy in whicb there is great in- dividual initiative will be dynamic and progressive - and messy. It will be a jumble of institutions and policies that are imperfectly co-ordinated and, ta some ex- tent, inconsistent. Such an economy will bave plenty of problems. In fact any dynamic and progressive ecanomy is bound ta bave problems - and the more dynamic and progressive it is, the more problerns it will bave. Problems are situations ta which traditional rules of conduct must be developed. Sucb problerns are solved by progresa or change but the fund of unsolved problerns is also increased by pragress. That is why dynamic econornies bave mare problems than stagnant societ- ies bave. Disagreernents aver what is fair or rigbt may produce, for the time being, at least, a sort of moral chaos, - but it wil be a healtby kind of chaos. By forcfng the members of the corn- munity constantly ta improve and extend its ethical codes, a dynamic econorny gives dignity and significance ta the lives of millions of men. SOCCER PROVIDES SPORT LESSON Durham County ia mucb more soccer minded than many other parts of Ontario because soccer bas been the most popular game played in the rural scbools for well over 50 years. This bas resulted in strong football leagues which attract large and enthusiastic crowds ta their games every spring. Many of aur readers will therefore be interested in a British government re- searchbFoup wbo bas been studying the country s greateat spectator sport - soc- cer - and its relation ta econornic and social welfare. It bas came up with the interesting statement that there is a link between the football field anid the workshop - that a team's victories or defeats bave an effec 't on its supporters whicb la reflected in their standard of work during the week. Vic- tory means increased output,. wbile defeat makes for despondency and declining pro- duction: Between 70,000,000 and 80,000,000 per- sans attend Old Country soccer garnes every year. For a great nurnber the Sat- urday afternoon game is the recreational bigbligbt of the week and the emotional reactian, particularly in group work, is understandable. But the research group's conclusions, by implication, point up the value of active participation in sport., It is unlikely that the psycbological effect of victory or de- feat on the player bimself can take away from the ail-round benefits he enjoys as a result of playing, rather than watching, the game. Britons, crowded into the "tight littie ilIe" bave no cboice. They cannot ail be players. But Canada, with its wide open spaces, bas a golden opportunîty ta give its youngsters the recreational facilities that lead ta the building of bealthy bodies and minds. - Canada -lias tbousands of potential By Joseph Lister Rutledge The reiterated statement that wage increases can be paid out of profits without affecting prices is a misconception that bas tragic possibilities. These recurring claims, building up over the years in annual or even more frequent demands, bave created a weight of added cost that thoughtfu] workcrs should recagnize. It is impossible for profits, whicb are sa srnall a part of the price dollar, ta provide for wages that are so large a part. This is the v'ery crux of aur econo-n ic prohlems because, bar- ring the outbreak of full-scale war, there is no circumstance that could injure us more, and deprec- iate aur values and aur securities more than uncontrolled inflation. X'et wage increases not campen- sated for by added productivity of labor or machines, which can- not be provided except at added cost, must tend that way. But management. by' its tacit accept- ance of the belief that annual wage increases are inevitable, bas donc its part. Probably manage- ment justifies the acceptance of a policy* contrary ta uts own opinion of what is right, reasanable and economically sound b:, rational- izing its thinking. As one manu- facturer puts it: It is reasonable enougb ta argue that resistance ta wage demands is futile in the face of the public asauniption that ail increases are justified. To stand out against such opinions is bad public relations for busi- ness and the business system. That is an understandable posi- tion. It lias resulted in mast wage discus s i o ni s turning nat on "Whether?" but on -How much?" This lessening of resistance ta recurrent wage demands, which somne bave looked upon as an in- dication of improving industrial relations, hardly justifies that happy tbought. It is not better relations. It is onl *% that manage- ment bas relînquished its thank- less battle ta pratecti the unorgan- ized public, which bas flot the organized worker's oppartunity ta demand compensation for every price increase. In the past, periods of depress- sion bave operated ta restore the balance between wages and pro- duction. But, with public opin- ion accepting high wages as the basic essential of aur way of life, there is little likelihoad that such readjustments would be talerated. Therefore aur ane hope against the possibility of a tragic inflation is that labor and employers alike achieve a larger measure of self- discipline. The one must ask less or deliver more. The other must return ta the defence of the pub- lic aven at sorna cost ta itself. To do otherxvisa is 1.0 seli aut a large percentage of aur ieow-ý citizens. What Is Fr.edom ? <By R.' J. Deachman) 1 want ta ask a question. It s one any întelligent.ran might put ta hirnself. I don't know the answer-there are at least two Qnswers. I do not know of any scentific way ta reach a sound conclusion on the question. 1 wish I did. - Here la the prablem. Our so- cial services including the corni- ing Old Age Pensions will, in the. next year or two, reach a total of approximately one billion doll- ars. The total in the fiscal year 1938-39 was elghty-six million. Since prewar days we have mul- tiplied aur contribution ta social services more than eleven times, almost 12 ýtimes. The contribu- tions grow rapidly. 1 see no possibility of reductions-only increases. Once the welfare state is accepted the bills pile Up. They graw. their growth is neyer retarded. They proliferate in- exorably with each succeeding session of the House of Commons. Why? The people want these things. Isn't this a democracy? Flow can one check the beart's desire af 14,000,000 people ask.- ing for the things they want, especially when they feel that athers pay for them? There is no way. Social services intensify inflation. The dollar may l time be worth less than its pres- ent value. 1 give it up--tbere is no way out, why should we con- tinue ta seek? There should be an answer. 1 raise- the question again. Siip-1 pose now-this is a late sugges- tion-but consider At even if it is. Suppose. in tbe next ten years we made UP aur minds tao do samething. Do what? Suppose in each year we took a billion dol- lars and used it in doing things which we tbink would add to Our capacity ta produce would not the nation as a whole be rich- er than if this sum were poureri out in social services? Then con- tinue tItis process year .after year. It would build a new Canada. Will social services do as much' We are gaing ta deepen the St. Lawrence canais anyway. Some-, one said the other day that it would save $45.000.000 in freight rates every year. I must read that story again in ten years time. I would like ta report the facts far the benefit of tbe man whco made the guess and those who now read this story. He may have the drap on me-but 1 doubt it. Let us look at same practical thimgs. There's an area in cent- ral Saskatchewan v4hich could be irrigated. It wbuld bring plenty of water ta a large dry section bf the central plains. Our farests are disappearing. Fires destroy enormous areas every year-the forests could be pro- tected. There are vast sectorîs ail over Ontario and in other pro- vinces which could be returned to forest ta earn a great deal more than they now earn under pres- ent conditions. These areas are scattered. the plots are not largo: but taken in the aggregate they are enormous. They should go back ta trees. In years ta came they would be sources of supply for lumber and other tbîngs- wood is needed but we are flot doing anything about it. Our minds respond only when asked ta do things within our immedi- ate need. Why bother about things whicb caîl for only a few thousands h e r e and there? Statesmen dream in billions, vote ta give freely. Then there is our great North. Who knows what lies beyond aur present range of vision. The area bas scarcely been scratched and again there is the whaie problem of agricultural research. Much bas been done but there is mfuch stili ta be done. The whole question is this: Should we belp the people of the nation by direct assistance or c an we build in this country a na- tion in whîch the struggle for a higher standard of living wîll be less tense and the average citi- 1 EYES EXAMÉNED - GLASSES FITTED OFFICE HOURS Monday ta Saturday - 10 a.m. ta 6 '0.M Closed Wednesday Ail Day - EVENINGS BY APPOINTMENT - 22 Division St. Phone 2024 SMen sure go for a . .
