THE CANAD!M~ STATESM>Y. EOWMA.NV~±E. ONTAWTA AW ~DA ~ md EB5 By -RRLPH TEE One of Canada"s Oldest i(m MW-PMD 1.1Weeklies Us Discontinued EDII7ORIALS Some Uses of Expéerience We spend 'much of our lives getting ready for somnething. The something niay happen tomorrow, 1ke. pausing examina- tions, or it may happen five years from now, taking over a new job., We have two principal ways of prepar- Ing: by study and by experience. »Saine people think that experience costs too much in time and effort, others beliEve that book learning is superior, while others find experience a too tedious process. In its simplest ternis what we seek la this: ta have famniliar factors ta put into the equation we have to salve. In algebra and chemistry these factors are the knawns. Only through knowledge of the knowns can yau fiËd the unknowns. In everyday affairs the knowns are the nienories of experiences. What does a quarter-back at a football game do when he is walking back ta bis huddle? He draws.on bis expérience of past games and his expérience of the. play- ers on bis team and his knowledge of the opposing teani, and then, after working ouft an équation based on facts cf the past and the present, lie reaches a décision about the play to caîl. The doctor uses expérience when he adapts a certain fanm of treatment ta your case. The research cheniist usis it when he draws upan bis knowledge of past experiments. The mechanic applies bis knwledge of putling a machine together. The business executive looks at charts of past years so as ta assess the present prospects of bis business. Our laws exist because experience bas shawn us that they work. We can get into more trouble by Ignaring the lessons of experience than in almost any otber way. Tbe value of employees ta an industry or an office is largely nieasured by their experience in tbat organization. Every finm bas its own way of doing things. Na worker can be efficient until h e bas learn- ed tbe nopes. He cannat b. given responsi- bility until be bas qualified his knowledge by experience. . Wben we say tbat experience is a valuable asset in business and in the other activities of life we do flot mean just casual acquaintance with events as they pass by. Expenience is useful only if yau bave thie capacity ta leann froni it and to, apply the lesson ta tbe constructive benefit of yourself and the business. Tbe above observations are contained In the Royal Bank's Monthly Letter which always makes helpful and constructive reading. Naw that Canadians are in the midst of a political election campai gn il is timely ta bring ta the attention of the electors sanie very blunt views expnessed on this subject in an address by Editor Grattan O'Leary of tbe Ottawa Journal. This well known editor is famous for bis out- spoken ideas which accounts for tbe Journal being quoted more than any other Canadian newspaper. Editon O'Leary is reported -as'saying tbat as a result of sheen inertia and pitiful complacency the mass of free electons are content ta b. herded by a few at the top exalting tbe power of the state. The chartéred banks of Canada have an enviable record of operating the besi systeni in the world. This isn't a boastful statement but is recognized and admitted as a faci by financiers of other counries. Now we see by the press that Canadian banks are adopting a cheque accaunt sm-.

The latest of these is the fact that Canadians own more life insurance in relation to their national incarne than the people of any other country, according to the Canadian Life Insurance Officers' Association. At the start of last year life insurance ini force equalled 128 per cent of national incarne, up froni 115 per cent five years earlier. In the United States, last year's ratio was 115 per cent, up frorn 98 per cent in five years. Third highest current ratio, according ta the Association, was 78 per cent in New Zealand.

THAT_ lb ~LKE TOGSET IT BACK ASSMON AS POSSIOLR SECAUSE 1 CAN'.~ HIMN My CM I15AID UR .9s.,/oungman 's Not being a union man, the, only information 1 have on the subi ect is what I read in the newspapers, or what others tell me. Some' things, like a union leader buying f ifty dol- lar shirts out of union funds, loaning a friend thousands of dollars out of the same kitty, swanking around in chauffeur driven cars, seems a bit bewil- dering ta, an outsider. But, in conversations with union mem- bers, I've noticed that the above actions are often con- doned because il la believed that these samie leaders have been instrumental in ibettering the lot of the average union worker, by having his pay in- creased, work hours decreased, more holidays wilh pay. Now, Harry Bridges, president o! the International Long. Local1 Masons 'To Attend Annual Service Jerusalem Lodge, A.F. & A. M., No. 31, has received an in- vitation from Rt. Wor. Bro. Jamese Jackson, district depu- ty grand master for Ontario District, A.F. &A.M., ta attend the annual Masonic church ser- vice of Ontario District which will be held in St. George's An, glican Church, Oshawa, on May, 5. Special speaker will be Bro. the Venerable Cecil Swanson, B.A., D.D., Archdeacon of To- ronto East and rector of St. Paul's Anglican Church, To- ronto. Archdeacon Swansonis a for- mer dean o!

He wonders what would be a sen- sible union programi for 1957, reryembering that the ideal sit- uation would be a proper num- ber of working hours, wilh a high enough wage to meet the regular payment demanda o! the average worker. He points out thal, ln the earîler days of the American labour movement, the demand was for a shorter work day, in order ta have more leisure, more time away fromn factory or mill. Now, he siàtea, the worker's biggest beef la over who shares in the availabie ovértime. At one time the issue was that someone had been forced ta work tao many hours -now, the same guy feels he has been cheated out of a chance ta make oventime pay. Mr. Bridges points out that there are workçrs who have a second job, thus putting in as high as sixty hours per week, and that more and more work- ers want ta farego their vaca- tion lime off, in order ta pocket their vacation pay while stay- ing on the job; that lhey do th is in orden b inaintain the standard cf living they feel they and their familles are en- titled ta, and should be enjoy- ing. Mr. Bridges feels that the worker should have a stand- ard of living designed to allow hlm ta enjoy life; that people should woizk ta live-not, as so many are farced la do, live ta work. He alsa says "We seem ta have forgotten Ihat the man who built the American labour movement organized workers mbt unions in order la lm- prove the lot o! the working people,-and that always meant shontet hours of work. Il was precisely ai limes like we have now-good limes- that the old unions fought for, and won ne- duction in hours. But what do we have today? Toc many unions now regard extra work or overtime work 49 YEARS AGO (1908) ]Rev. W. E. Hazzard, was ln town reprcsenting the Bible So- ciety. He was a graduate o! Bowmanville High School dur- ing the principalship o! Mn. W. W. Tamblyn. A wedding ofhInterest was that o! Miss Ethel Younie King, eldest daughten o! Major and Mrs. W. C. King, and Mn. Thas. Knowlton o! Toronto. The boide's sister, Miss Edna C. King, was maid o! honor and Mn. W. J. Medland, 'Toronto, was best man. W.M.S. o! Bowmanvile dis- trict held their 141h annual convention at Ebenezer. Miss M. E. Joness was district an- ganizen. Mrs. W. R. Courtice gave an addness o! welcome. Among those atiending !nom Bowmanville were Mrs. Gar- butt, Mra. Washington, Miss Gaie, Mns. Tale, Mrs. Trebil- cock, Miss Gould, Mn.. J. J. Mason. Mrs. Wm. Norton died at thec age o! 83.

Agriculture asking for more adequatc provision for inspection o! caIlle fan tuber- cular and other diseasea. 0 à as a prize, and such unions raid other unions for more work, and during prosperous limes overtime hours o! work are sought aflen, and maximized wherever possible. This means that workers are really burning themselves eut on the job. "Good limes have come to mean a chance for steady em- ployment at longer hours at a high rate o! pay. It's about lime we, in the I.L.W.U. recog- nized Ihat this is not a worker's program, or a good union pro- gram. Maybe we haven't got the answer yet, but won't be long figuring il eut once the members realize how useless this merry-go-round really is. We have ta begin la measure what we put eut agaînst what we gain. And for many workers what is gained doesn't hold a candle to what it really costs in effort, sweat, fatigue and exhaustion."l Sa, according la the forego.. ing, some leaders have the courage ta talk plain, unvar- nished facts la the membens, which is very encauraging in view o! the present smelly sitl- uation in organized labour cir- dles in the U.S.A.

Thus Parliamnent consista o! the Queen, repncsented by the Governor-General; the Corn- mons, and the Senate, each with its responsibilities and privileges. The 265 members of the Conimons are elecled; sen- ators - a maximum 102 - are appointed for life on the Prime Minister's recommendation ta the Governor-General. By. custom, the leader o! the majanity o! members elected ta the Commons is called by the Governor-General in the name o! the Queen ta !orm a new administration, and that lead- er becomes Prime Miniaten. The present administration. remains in office despite the fact that Panliament la dissol'v- ed for an election. The choice o! cabinet minis- bers is not restricted ta the leader's elected foilowers. Out- siders may bc chosen and, in fact, seven o! the 19 members o! the present cabinet have been picked in this way. But they must obtain scats in Par- liament as soon* as passible.
