We saw an ad the, ather day which predicted that the day is perhaps not too distant when a number of gadgets, including household aids and the power mower, will run by themscîvez. Some household electrical ap- Pliances, such as refrigerators and stoves, are already automa- tic ta greater or lesser degree of course. And there are many other machines, gadgets or tools which get jobs donc in a hurry and without the backbreaking labour that the housekeeper of 40 or even 25 years ago, expect- ed as routine li cleaning, cook- imx ane' washing. We are the last to eulogize monotonous work when there are so many interesting things In the world ta, be doing. But- and there is a but-it seems to us that except for a couple of weeks holidays a year, a great rnany people don't know what to do with leisure if they have it, so will the world be roses *Il the way when even a chore like cuttrng the lawn is donc with a flick of the finger? As li so many other things lI our generation, we think there is a happy medium which wc should strive for, instead o! building up the false idea that Ttopia is doing nothing. It isn't. 'the happiest people are those who are busy, and like their work. Next best is to be busy, even if the job is monotonous, and know how to enjoy leisure hours, building something, crea. ting something, enriching one's r'itnd with reading and study, pursuing one or several hob- bies. But it bas been found al- ready with shortened hours of work, that keeping busy lsaa necessity to most people, though there are exceptions. Our parents and grandpar- ents didn't need psychiatrists. They rccognized work as a ood and necessary thing and there was much more pride taken In a job well donc. We think thene is a connection between this outlook and their mental health. Granted, the hours were much tee long in factories, and on the !arm. Labour laws and automa- tic machineny have given people a cbance to know a iittle of the world around them, and that is good. But the new idea o! the world owes me a living, and ne ehores for the kids to do-that bas brought its own illa which we teed would mul- tlply to the point where aimost cveryone would be seekiag the help o! à psychiatrist if ordin- ary jobs around the home are reduced much more. Some people scorn the Iast generation which kncw little else but work (or so it seems to them), athers envy them their contentment, their faith in God, work, and moral prin- ciples, which included teaching the young ta take pride in- do- ing a job and doing it well. Those same youngsters didn't nced su- pervised playgrounds in the sumnmer tire either. Something about the way o! life then made them self-reliant. Nobody had ta show themn the way ta the swim- ming hale or organize a game of baîl. Let eut a! achool, they were like colts let out ta pas- ture. But this is a facet of the subject which can be pursued ut length. We won't go further at present.
