Cumile o. ASHESLST SALES PROMOTION .A UGUST has been looked upon by most merchants A and people generally as a month of holiday. Stores with their short staffs and people thinking only of the vacations h#§ ‘been the cause. Yet there is just as much traffic through these streets, just as much buying in the.stores and just as much need for merchandizing in August as in any other month in the year. People have been lulled to sleep with the idea that there is no business in the month of August. Look over the successâ€" Aul merchants and merchandizers and you will see that they ‘have adapted their business to the August condiâ€" tions. Big houses send out extra advertising material to inform the people that they have merchandise for sale. Special inducements are offered to stimulate buyâ€" imng. Thus the big houses are showing an increase of trade this year. If the local merchant would follow suit there would be much rejoicing. There would be more demands for .merchandise and business would be increased. As you look over the number of people on the streets here, you will notice that there is only a small percentage of people away. You will also see hyndreds of strangers who are visiting and making their z:imnte of the local shopping » l?Ol%ljh hard years there were twentyâ€"seven mew dwellings erected for every one hundred marâ€" riages.

Single PPALLING accounts fill the papers each week of Aaccidents that mangle and destroy the physical body of man. Disease has taken a great toll of life and been very destructive to the body. From the report of those who carefully analyze these conditions it has been pointed out that many of the conditions could be eliminated if people would consider the physical body more. With care and education it can be protected from many of the accidents and diseases to which it is now subjected. What should be inculcated into the heart of man is the fact that this body is the most wonderful piece of mechanism constructed in the universe toâ€"day. Note its workings and the relationship of each member to the whole. Is there a piece of machinery in existence that is so constructed that it will carry on its work day in and day out under all sorts of conditions and reproduce itself for another generation? Can you build a meâ€" chanical device that is equal to the physical body ? Then should the individual abuse this body as he does ? Miss Mary MacMahan, addressing a women‘s gathâ€" ering in Toronto, told the ladies present that she had come to the conclusion that women are losing their modesty. "I wish they could realize that the more the body is covered, the more attractive the face becomes," she said. Every day furnishes evidence that the disâ€" gusting habit of young women and girls, wearing only "sun" or bathing suits promenading along pubâ€" lic streets in towns and cities is condemned by sensible people and will soon be outlawed by popular consent. Douglas Oliver, one of the newspaper men >' companied the Canadian veterans to the lnv% finmflnVimymdtom“bmuem ties in England, has the following regarding one of those present at the Buckingham Palace garden party: "Hon Duncan Marshall, on his third call on the British Isles in little more than a year, wore a topper whose sheen has never been equalled anywhere, branâ€" dished Nis customary toothpick, and rubbed shoulder to shoulder unconcernediy with Sir Henry Burstall of Pnd Division fdime." _People venerate the noble structures that have been built through the ages, they treasure the works of their own hands and minds, giving them every protection and consideration. Laws of the land punish those who wilâ€" fully destroy the works of art or precious belongings of man, yet man will not venerate his own body. In the olden days there was more care taken of the physica) being, men wanted their bodies preserved because they were the housing of the perpetual soul. If this same thought could be transmitted to the present generation there would be fewer accidents and there would be less sickness, because men would think twice before they would expose themselves to any condition that would hurt the body. This body is given by the great Creator of the universe to be developed with the soul to the highest state. When the soul leaves this habitation then the venerated body has performed its function and the soul goes on to higher and more noble development. With these ideals in man‘s mind there will be no wars, no disease, no accidents, but a policy of living to protect and care for the physical body. It is sacred and should The Forest Standard can‘t figure out how it is that nature insisted on putting all the vitamins in spinach and liver and onions instead of apple pie and chocolate cake. Hon. W. D. Euler, Minister of Trade and Comâ€" merce, has been in Russia looking for business. He says one thing he noticed was that no ohe whistles. Evidently they are not yet familiar with the new tunes the government desires them to play. NCREASED cost of doing business in recent years has frequently been pointed out by trade journals and in annual reports. In larger corporations it is almost necessary to maintain a staff of statisticians in order to meet the demands of governments. Discussâ€" ing this matter Macleans, in a recent issue, had the following :â€" "In two months of this year, a large Canadian manufacturing company made fortyâ€"eight reports to various government. departments. %‘hat is an average of two a day. The company was not beâ€" Ing investigated or anything like that. It was just obeying reglntions which affect all business. The MacLean Publishing Company, for instance, durâ€" ing the past twelve months has had to make seventyâ€"one returna ot‘one kind or another. Fortyâ€" be held as such at all times. tion may bring better times", is the oft repeated asserâ€" tion of those out of employment. That which happened so frequently during the past six years, that which occurred in Manitoba and Quebec will be repeated in Ontario whenever the people have a chance to make a decision, in the opinion of thousands who are not especialâ€" ly concerned about the fate of any political party. else. "Conditions cannot be worse. A new administraâ€" A few weeks ago the Liberalâ€"Progressives failed to retain a majority in Manitoba, securing only 22 of the 53 seats. Then on Monday of this week the 40â€"yearâ€"old Liberal Administration of Quebec suffered a most erushing defeat. The Liberal prime minister. and five of his cabinet failed to carry their seats. Of the 90 elected only 15 are Liberals, while the Conservativeâ€" Unionists were successfil in the other 75 seats. Disâ€" honesty and corrupt acts were proven against the former Liberal administration. But this was nothing new. The overwhelming defeat of the government is chiefly atâ€" tributable to the desire of the people to try something Tflmdmmuwm-fiuu satisfied with governments. and determined upon changes whepever the opportunity is presented. The defeat of several provincial administrations was followed by the overthfow of the federal government last year.

No person escapes the burden of overgovernment." I in e in en e id ce ts on one were required by Dominion de%nrtments; seventeen by provincial departments; thirteen by municipal departments. Some of the reports reâ€" quired are necessary. But there is far too much overhgping. Canadian business is taxed heavily enough without being put to the additional exâ€" pense of maintaining what, unless bureaucratic tendencies are checked, may develop into an hourâ€" ly bulletin service to deganment officials, _ Alâ€" ready . many industries have had to establish seeciil dfpa:tments, headed by experts, to handle REPORTS AND MORE REPORTS PROTECTING THE PHYSICAL BTILL ASKING : CHANGE NOTE AND COMMENT uooo on o en e e ic was not doing enough to create grievâ€" ances in Canada he made a report from which 1 take the following quotation: "The political line of our Party is to utilize this tendency of radicalization by adopting a policy of developing â€" demands â€" and initiating movements in different â€" industries 1 see mds movements in different industries .. » » On account of the position of the Canadian working class it is necesâ€" sary to develop demards in advance rather than merely wait for sporadic outbreaks. The political value of these strikes therefore tends to be less, unâ€" less we ourselves can prepare them in certain industries. The result is that we have adopted a policy of developâ€" ing demands in many industries and on this basis sharpening relations and deg‘eloping strike movements." During the four years following this statement and tomparing the four previous years, there was an increase of 177 disputes in tha Tiaminian aa of 177 dis;)utes in the Dominion, an increase of 29,826 workers involved, an increase of 555,841 working days lost and index figures of average wages decreased 20.9, Ne# I do not wish to construe thit the CPC was responsible for all of these strikes, but the fact remains, the Above statement points out to North York workers, with their tradition of sane, orderly progress toward the imâ€" provement of their economic position, that the CPC is not honestly concernâ€" ed with the betterment of working conditions. One thing the relief strikers did not consider, that is the height and weight of the taxpayers. The strikers jur‘r}ped off the deep end.

"They would not." un on t Bs f The taxpayers appreciate what reâ€" lief workers have accomplished in the way of widening and re‘fairing roads, the making and extending of sideâ€" walks, etc. They know that to do unâ€" necessary work just for the sake of doing it is not only uneconomic but lunatic. They are also aware that the majority of relief recipients do not want to skulk and shirk. Many of the strike leaders‘ ideas and plans are based on Russian ideoâ€" logy. But have not the worst mischiefs often sprung from altruistic zeal, unâ€" chastened by knowledge and experiâ€" ence and is of all human dispositions the least favourable to sound and perâ€" manent reform ?
