TE CNDINSTATESUM. EOWMAJSVZflLE. OTAMUO TIHURDY C.'t,1 Generation There has, af recent years, been a lot of writing and argument anent the dif- ference in this generation and the next. Some dlaim, and maybe with same just- ification, that the kids get tao much these days; that in the aider days they had ta wark harder, think harder, had less ta distract them and thus became more reliant and better citizens in the long run. Many disagree with that theary, of course, and point ta the fact that we are producing just as good men and wamen in the 1950's as in the 1900's. There is no doubt that in this age the distractions, at least, are manifoldly more prolific, but as agairist that obviously the rninds of this yaunger generatian are absorbing the scientific advancements and mnust lie getting some benefit out of them. Inherently ail yaungsters adjust them- selves ta the age, the mode of living and the times, and probably the percentage which "faîl by the wayside" is nat any. gÉeater proportianately than it was 50 years ago. We have in recent years, at the grad- uation and commencement exercises, been thrilled at the splendid type of young men and women who are being turned out froni aur institutions of learning. Their faces tell the stary and give the lie to pessimistic intimaf ions that this generation is inferior. Hardly a week passes that The *;tatesman daesn't have an item about a B. H. S. graduate who has made good in the business, industrial, artistic or pro- fessionai life ini Canada. The saine stary mnust be true across the Dominion in the thousands of cammunities like Bowmnan. ville. Wage Boost in Disguise Legisiation ta enforce a 35-hour work week is praposed by the Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor. Chances are that the AFL proposai will shortly be echaed by its affiliated union groups in Canada. Thoughtful people in the United States rightly paint out that what the AFL Executive Cauncil is really seeking is legisiatian ta enforce nat a shorter work week, Which is merely incidentai, but rather a huge pay baost for millions of union members thraughaut the country. The consequences of imposing such a burden on the American economy, it is clear, would be grave indeed. The cansequences far Canada, if the AFL, thraugh its affiliated unions in this country, were ta press demnands for similar legislation, would be little short of dis- astrous. Unlike the United States, Canada lacks a large, highly protected domettic miarket with which ta cushion the shock of superimposing the cost of five paid hours a week with no comparable increase In productivity ta offset the huge payroli costs that would be involved. Union leaders greedily eyeing such devices as the 35 hour week need ta be reminded that legisiation which does not conforni ta the economic facts of life invariabiy proves unworkabie and, in most cases, damaging. Good Transportation Tool C.P.R. Vice-President N. R. Crump, addressing the Canadian Weekly News- papers Association at Toronto, points ta new rail construction designed ta serve recently-developed mining areas and other resource development as evidence that "the railway is stili a mighty good trans- portation tool." An autstanding example of what Mr. Crump means is the 350-mile rail uine. buit by private enterprise framn Seven Islands on the north shore of the St. Lawrence ta bring iron are froni the vast resources of the Quebec hinterland. "If new railways are worth building ta serve new industry," says. the C.P.R. executive, "surely established railways are worth keeping in a heaithy condition ta serve established industry." Yet the rub J ies in the fact that Canadian railways are subject ta so much in the way of outmoded restrictive regulation that they are gravely hampered in meeting the competition of other and less efficient modes of transpor- tatin patabljuhed 1l5u with which i norpoat Mm owmanytfle News, i. ecm Utl m.ed and The Oromo Ne.ws 1001& Y.ar of Continuaua Servic o tbhe 7own ci Bowmcrnv!uie and Durhazm Couuxy AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER CIurch Better for Youth Recently a magistrate in Western Canada refused to order a youth ta attend church service each Sunday instead of paying the penalty required by law, on the grounds that ne good would result froin compelling the youth ta go ta church against his will. We feel, however, that the minister in Baltimore, Maryland, who a few days ago gave a youth the opportunity cf going ta church for six mànths or go ta j ail, was a better student cf human nature. The youth chose ta go to church and turn in a letter ta a traffc court each Moplay that he had fallowed the provisions set down by the magistrate. Even if either youth had not been a regular attendant at church, there is no doubt that, whether they realized it or not, they would absorb mare that would niake for a better life, or tend ta put them on the right track in living, than they would likely absorb from the gray stone wails I of à jail, whether it was in Canada or the United States. Most people absorb something froni their associations whether it be good or bad, and there can bi na doubt that the very atmosphere of the church and itsi congregation would have more beneficial effeets on a teen-age youth than a ceil and clo*e aosociation ta hardened criminals. Close association with frequent law l breakers is quit. likely ta give a youth with an immature mind a sense cf glory when he emerges into society after servingf bit short term. Perhaps he would becomei a better citizen if durlng the sanie period he sat quietly in a church pew and listened ta expositions on the principles cf Christianty.

Exasperated, she declared, "Why don't they take down the net?" A golfer complained how hard it was to drive the bail over the ditch. A prâc- tical-minded friend suid, "I don't under- stand why the golf club doesn't 1111 up the ditch, to make the gaines easier.» Some folks ca nnot comprehend the value of obstacles or opposition. They neyer realize that satitfaction and exhilar- ation experienced by thode winning tagainst odds. If the time ever cornes when ail of our ditekes are filied up, ail our nets taken down when competition and opportunlty aré wiped out, existence will become hope- less, colorless, pointless. - Obstacles keep us on our toes. Stones that stand in our way are grindstoneu that sharpen our akili and heazrten us in our future struggles. Wheh! carried too far, security clefeats itself. It il risky to take ail the risk out of life. The discipline of difficulties keeps men and nations strong. "Give -Away" Economkcs The problem of surpluses, says Agri- culture Minister Gardiner, cannot be solv- ed by "gîve-aways." The theory of "give- away" econamics, which Mr. Gardiner rightly renounces, is that a country can prasper by encouraging farmers ta pro- ducé more than is needed ta meet demand and then using the taxpayers' maney to purchase the resulting surpluses and to give those surpluses ta other cauntries. Mr. Gardiner knows whereof he speaks. Federal support prices for butter have encouraged production ta the point where there is far more than is needed ta nicet demand. Those turpluses, from time ta tinie, have been lessened by the decision of federai authorities ta seli the surplus butter ta Germany and other countries at prices far below the sum which the Gov- ernment, using the taxpayers' mnoney, paid ta the dairy industry for the butter in the f irst place. When the Agriculture Minister sqLys such "give-away" economies is no solution ta the problem of surpluses, he is suggest- ing quite plainly that what is needed is ta get rid of the support subsidies which caused the overproduction in the first place. If such is Mr. Gardiner's purpase, he will have the support of every hause- wife in Canada, and Distant Pas reoin The Slslemm aa V 23 YEARS AGO (1925) At the Royal Theatre, talking pictures "The Broadway Mei- ady".
