It has been said that animals are at times almost human. This refers to tobacco as well as many other things. Some animals like tobacco, others don’t. One dog likes music, and others can’t stand it. From what we know of animals therefore, we can see nothing miraculous about the Sault Ste. Marie deer having a hankering for the weed, but it does show that the people up in that country have a way all their own of keeping themselves before the public. It’s not a very bad way, either. is in a much better There is no use trying to however, and it must be fortunate, indeed. dodge any issues, frankly admitted that this spring season opens less suspiciously than any that have gone be- fore. While the clouds on the employment hor- izon are not particularly black, the silver lin- ing we have often read about is no better than a slate grey, and it begins to look that this prob- lem is due for discussion by our municipal and other bodies. It has been suggested that this summer would be a good time to build our main street sidewalks, and we fully agree with Mayor Mur- dock when he suggested this action in the coun- cil last Monday evening. Durham’s front street sidewalks certainly need looking after. It is thirty-five years since they have been built, and as they have gone fifteen years over their an fight with the bees. You cannot hold the re- ticipated twenty years’ service, they have ml! spect of your fellows if you are crabbing about filled everything expected of them when first laid. The Chronicle has never criticized these front street walks very strenuously for several reasons. For one thing, Durham had several miles of sidewalks before other towns in this province followed suit. At the time these walks were built nothing much was known of them. They were an experiment, and it is not surpris- ing that they were not as good as others erect- ed in later years. Since they were put down, too, they have been undermined with the installa- tion of private water services, and this, as much as anything else, has been the cause of their disintegration. If this town is to have an unemployment problem on its hands this summer, we can see It may be argued that we are now paying something all the time. In fact, you cannot get for pavements. The putting off the building of anywhere in business, society, or your work, if our walks is but hoisting the work for a few you are one of those fellows whose chief boast years. These walks will have to be replaced is that you will fight at the drop of the hat, long before our paving and waterworks deben- and usually end up by drapping the hat your- tures are paid for. It would be better if we self. could clean up our paving and waterworks debts first, but this is impossible. By building our walks now, if necessary, we shall get them cheaper than if we wait until prosperity re- the recent action of the press in the Lindbergh turns and wages are high.

Send them in. FIGHTING WITH YOUR JOB Bruce Barton never made a truer state- ment than when he said: “The man who gets the honey does not fight with the bees.” When should a person get mad? Some will say “never,” but we have the idea that few people have any admiration for the spineless cactus of humanity who lets all and sundry tramp over him. Neither has anyone admira- tion for the man who is always looking for trouble, and is constantly at loggerheads with his neighbors, his country, or his job. fighting man. We like a man who will fight for his principles, a man who will put up a stren- uous battle for an important issue. But may we be forever delivered of the man who is always harping about the unimportant things in life, and whose chief aim seems to be stirring up strife. We have all met the fellow who can “tell them all where to get off.” Did you ever try telling him where he gets off? Try it out some time. You will probably find a lot of these fel- lows who delight in letting the other fellow know what he thinks of them is the one who cannot stand hearing his own shortcomings re- hearsed. Most of us get mad too easily. Once the habit is formed it becomes easier, and if we do not choke it at the start we develop hair-trig- ger tempers that fly off under little or no pro- vocation. Another thing most of us do is to argue too much. We do not believe an argument ever got anyone anywhere. There is a loss of time and. energy, and in the end both principals re- tire convinced that the other fellow did not know what he was talking about. Getting mad is the thing most of us do best, and it is about the worst thing we can do for our peace of mind, reputation and future health and happiness. No sir. You cannot get the honey if you way furnish work for our laboring men while at the same time getting something for the town. At once the matter of the cost comes up, but we believe this will not be found fault with when the situation is considered. The town must handle its unemployment situation. There is no other alternative. We must either furnish employment for our unemployed and let them earn their living, or look after them in another manner. Both will cost money. One way will give us better sidewalks, the other will spend our money and we shall have nothing. Durham’s workmen will prefer the relief that allows them to earn their living. They want work, not char- ity.
