Clipped Comments HOW A PERSON SPENDS HIS TIME We have often read,-as people reach the proverbial "three score years and ten" they make a mental survey as to how best they have spent their days in worthy accomplishments, as well as leisure. This subject was brought to our mind as we read that a psychology class at the University of Wisconsin the average person spends time. | The result showed. that a person who has attained the age of 70 has spent 20 years sleeping, 20 years working, 7 years walking and in out- door sports, 6 years shaving and dressing, 7 yearg-yin going to the movies, - theatre, (dha other amuse- ments, one year on the telephone, and 2% years eating and sitting down at the table, 21% years playing cards and games, : As the survey indicated there are many unavoidable leaks through which actual years of time are lost! The study reveals with a tremendous wal- lop that our moments for learning, de- veloping, achieving, and serving are very limited in the average lifetime. That's why deliberately killing time |' kills a part of ourselves. Killing time shortens our lives, Instead of killing time, we should}: strive to make time live. We should rescue our minutes from death and fill them with life. Wg should make our minutes come alive with accom- plishment. We should fill our minutes with abundant living . . .-. with the highest and best life has to offer, We should be architects of the minutes that are ours and use them to build worthy lives, --Canadian Statesman WHAT IF CANADIANS WERE.

HYDRAULIC PLANT COMES TO PETERBOROUGH (Peterboro Examiner) Hydraulic Air and Engineering Co. (Haeco Ltd.) of 113 Dupont 8t., To- ronto, is now constructing a $30,000 one-storey concrete building on Erskine Ave. cupy. 6,000 square feet of the 2%-acre company property that faces the pro- posed Kingsway, will be completed by the end of October, Engineer Harry T.

As a result, a few Sections of the working It makes you wonder whether the unions, now that thby"ve formed a combine, will ever stpp boosting their demands. Today, /acting together, with huge financial war chests, their power is almost ynljmited. They could, if they are ermine, create another depression a hurry. In order to protect themselves from this rise in the cost of manufactured goods, the farmers are now forming combines or cartels, or whatever you want to call them, to increase the price of their products. When all the various farm organizations get to- gether, 'they, too, have tremendous power. - If they were ever to push this power too far, they could also create another depression, The amazing thing js that labour unions and farm organizations seem to receive encouragement in the forma- tion of these power centers. The gov- ernment, with its right hand, wields a big stick to keep industry from form- ing combines; but with its left hand, it encourages farm and labour groups to'do so. Perhaps the reason is that the politicians know industry has re- latively few votes, while farm and labour have many. At any rate, the government itself has an inclination towards monopoly. When ever it desires to get into a busi- ness, it seeks a monopoly in that area. TCA is one example; there are others. Perhaps this formation of power centres would not be too bad if evenly balanced. But at the moment, they are not evenly balanced at all. As a result, those of us who are on the out- side confronting power centres can get pretty badly mauled, The small-town worker gets hit hardest of all. He has no union pow- er, and his wages rise slowly and naturally. The price of things he has to buy, however, soar upwards at un- naturally high rates, artificially boost- ed because of union power or farm power, The vast majority of workers are not unionized and receive only the natural increases which come with in- creased production, If pushed too far, they will stop buy- ing that is, they will buy the mini- mum amount necessary for life. They'll double-up in home accommoda- tion, keep the old car a few more years, cut out luxuries entirely. Un- employment will begin, investments will dry up, and we'll be cruising to- wards another cycle of poverty in the midst of plenty. It is to be hoped that responsible farm and labor leadership will recog- nize this danger, and act accordingly. Cedar Creek Bruce Cummings was working at Strathroy a couple of weeks ago.

Oliver There's one way to be certain of a rewarding and effective tulip gard- en in the spring: buy good bulbs from a reliable dealer in the fall! If you want to have a good show of tulips--ar hyacinths, crocuses, daffo- dils or any of the other Dutclr bulbs-- be wary in your purchases, Shun bargain offers as you would shun the plague. Always go to a dealer you know Is relinble and get only large- size bulbs. For example, No. 1 tulip bulbs measure 12 centimeters (5 in- ches) and up in circumference, or 1- Y% to 1-3% inches in diameter. Always get bulbs that are firm and feel heavy for their size. Bulbs that are soft and light-weight have spent too long in the dry atmosphere of the store and are dried out. In 'tulips, the outer skin should be smooth and intact, free of cuts and spofs that indicate disease. Except for a small section of Bri- tish Colimbia, the Canadian climate does not favor commercial bulb pro- duction. Spring turns to summer too suddenly for proper development of {the new bulb after the old ohe has finished blooming. In Holland, the home of the bulbs where nearly 50,- 000 tons of them are grown for ex- port every year, the flowers are pluck- ed from the tops 6f the stalks almost as soon as they bloom to allow the bulbs to get all the*energy and de- velop into the finest in the world. In Canada, the season is too short and the change too fast, so most of the bulbs grown in Canada are imported from the Netherlands. To produce good bulbs. demands time, labor and skill as well as a great deal of special equipment, They must be grown with the utmost care and graded to produce a uniform pro- duet, Good bulbs must be sold at a fair price so the gardiner is cautioned against bargains, Most of the bar- gain offers provide what they claim, but the claims are worded so cleverly the unwary purchaser is usually mis- led. It would be well to remember this advice: buy only the large, firm, < heavy bulbs th Smooth, intact sur- faces, and buy them early so they will not be picked over by other gar- deners, and also so they will not be dried out by lying in the store, Prince Albert "Mr. and Mrs. M. Luke, Paul and Robert of Hamilton spent the week- end with Mrs, C. Luke. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Martyn and Mrs. E.
