Ro * aE i & os 4 "EDITORIAL = ES Such is the patriot's boast, where'er we roam, His first, best country ever is at home.--Goldsmith, HOW MUCH IS LABOR WORTH? ~The same motive that urges labor to secure the highest possible payment for services rendered will control investors. They, too, want their money's worth--and a little more if possible, The battle to gain permanent advantage upon the statute books is at a very crucial moment for labor at the present time, Just now work is plentiful, and labor is scarce. In a year or two the position may be reverséd, for Canada will have to fit into the schefhe of things thousands of young workers who have protected us m our hour © of danger, and who will be deserving of at least an opportumity to earn an honest living, and to become once more real citizens, whose interest. extends beyond the limits of the pocket book, or the shortness of the hours of labor. The wiser leaders see this fact, and are doing their best to convince thé rank and file of the union wonkers that good service and reasonable demands will bring more lasting benefits to the workers than any strikes and ultimatums at this aritical time in the nation's history. .This is the time for labor to show good citizenship, and to prove its right to equality of consideration in life's - rewards, because those rewards largely stem from well directed labor, Co-operation between labor and management is just plain good sense--if it is co-operation, and not merely another battleground on which to fight __ for greater advantage for one side or the other... There are many great industries that are suecess- fully adopting this co-operative idéa.. The worker can certainly make a very practical contribution in any business, and the employer who ignores kis employees, or mistreats them in any way, is lacking in good sense. The weak:spot in much of the joint management idea is that it is nearly always taken for granted that the employer is making a profit, and fre- quently, it is argued that he is getting more than his share of those profits. There are such things as losses in business; and there are employers who have denied themselves in times of stress so that their employees might not suffer. = Organization-has had its advantages for both capital and labor, but organization can bring about abuses in both these departments of our industrial life. In the case of capital, the abuse consists in the lack of direct touch between the real employer (the corporation) and the employee. The "boss" in such cases is usually just as much an employee as the rest of the workers, His job is to see that the investors get their dividends. He cannot be too sympathetic, and he often has to defer improvements because dividends come first. - would lack "The Human Touch". The abuse on the labor side can be the con- stantly growing demand for more pay and shorter hours, without regard to the difficulty faced by the employer. Such conduct kills the goose that lays the golden egg. } Taken as a whole, the small employer is more on a level with his employees, and he does not usually grow rich at their expense. Labor is worth what it can earn--no more, no less. And labor without management, and with- out invested capital, would earn but little. De- cent, fair-minded conduct on. both sides is the only foundation upon which the future prosperity of Canada can be built. In no case for cither can there be a constant taking and ho giving. * A THOROUGHLY DESERVING (CAUSE The Salvation Army is appealing" for help in its splendid work on the "Home Front". That work, based on Christian principles, is wide, generous, and practical in its scope. In spite of difticulties the Salvation Army does not grow dis- couraged. Instead, .it increases its effort, and shows the same spirit that the British evinced after Dunkirk. ' From the cradle to the grave, and with a hope- ful entry into the world beyond, the influence of this noble organization is felt by thousands * of people, who, in the ordinary course of events, The workers go about looking for those who are in trouble, and finding means to cure or at least relieve the victims of their difficulties; "and, what is more _valuable, they. generally find the root of the trouble, and put the sufferers on a sure footing, armed with a new hope, and a greater self-*~ respect. 1 ' Even from a selfish motive we can and should give financial assistance to the work. Thousands of men, women, and children have been rescued from becoming hopeless burdens upon society, and instead have become highly-respected and helpful citizens.

Sunday, September 26th, will long be remembered by the members and friends. of St. John's Presbyterian Church as an important date in the history of the congregation, for on that day Re-Dedicatory services were held, culminating more than a year of careful planning and tireless effort in the complete rénovation of the build- ing, and the improvement of the grounds. The occasion was one of re- joicing, thanksgiving, and that quiet satisfaction which comes from carry- ing to completion a diflicult under- taking. Rev. F. G. Vesey, B.A., formerly of Parkdale Presbyterian Church, To- ronto, and now of the Bible College of that city, was special speaker for the day. Rev. Mr. Vesey is no stranger to the people of St. John's for he conducted the serviges celebrat- ing the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the church, in October, 1931, during the ministry of the late Rev. E. E. Annand. _ - The morning and evening sermons were impressive, searching, and prac- tical, dealing with the Christian's trust in God's omnipotence. The quality and spirif of the message will live long in the community. Rev. J. A. McMillan, B.A; minister of St. John's, read letters of felicitation from Rev. R. Simpson, a former pastor, and from Rev. Wim. Stocks, rector of the ST. JOHN'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH RE-DEDICATION Church of the Ascension, both of whom were unable to be present... The evening service of the United Church was courteously withdrawn, and a large audience was present to hear the inspiring address. Rev. W. C. Smith assisted at the evening worship. Toronto artists added much to the success of the occasion. Mrs. W. Langford of Riverdale Presbyterian Church, and Misses Margaret Lang and Kathleen Powers, of the People's Church, sang during both services. It was an added pleasure to all to see Miss Helen Willard once more in her accustomed place at the orgair in the morning. Mrs. Orde, organist of the United Church, assisted in. the evening. It is worthy of note that this whole attractive work of renovation has been paid for, and the Church is debt free. This was made possible because of the great amount of work done by the members, both men und women. Sup- plementing this free labor, most gen- erous cash contributions were received, some even increasing their givings when they saw what a fine picce of work was being done, There is a growing fellowship among the Churches, and a realization that there is room and work for all, if those who do not now attend Church can be brouglit to see the value of the service given.

On being told they were in the field, the man entered, locked the door and asked for money. Mrs. Goode re- fused to tell him where it was, but the robber beat her badly, 'searched around and finally made good his escape with approximately seven dollars, The police were called and Mrs, Goode, was able to give them a description of the man.

To the Home Folks Away from Home, The people of Prince Albert have suffered severe loss in the death of Miss Madden and Mrs, Ettey. Both these ladies have been the very best of good neighbors, who took, in their part in the welfare of the community. Mish "Madden was esséntially the teacher and good neighbor. Mrs. Ettey was the soul of kindness, who made no distinction as to race or creed, but could always be relied upon to do the kindly thing at the right time, no matter who was in_ trouble, The memories of both these ladies will be cherished by Prince Albert people for many years to come.
