1049mm absence was not noticed for a couple of days not until a nephew named An- drews, who is on the Str. Easton, be- gan to make inquiries. An investigation followed and the belief is that he fell overboard at the berth of the steam- the steamer Mapleton, which with a Collinxwood Boy Drowned David Malcolm, Jr., second son of Capt. David Malcolm, the well known rug and fish operator. was accidentally drowned in a canal near Montreal on Saturday. April 30. He was engaged on pave the Palmertson to Listowel high- way. The Duflerin Construction Com- pany of Toronto have received the con- tract and they are now preparing to commence operations. The paving of this highway will be a great boon to Listowel and also to Palmerstonites, as this road has been one of the worst in the fail and spring, and when the word was circulated that it would be paved this summer it met with a lot of ap- proval. The road will give the Listowel motorists an outlet to Toronto on paved roads the year around nowâ€"Listowel‘. Standard. MWMyandhndedlshewflu, mummmtolzmcmmlencth.

This, the Board felt, was a generous offer, as the teachers are not being overpaid by any means. The offer was accepted. At the regular meeting the previous Iweek the high school stafi had volun- rtarily offered a five per cent. reduction but the Board did not feel that the cut was enough, many thinking that it should be ten per cent After much| discussion it was decided to make the out seven and one-half per cent.

Two dynamite bombs, exploding with crashing reverberations which awaken- ed the city of Guelph in the early *hours of Monday morning, wrought destruction to the home of Tom Veroni, Alice street. one of the city’s promin- ent Italian residents. By a miracle, no person was injured. Mr. and Mrs. Ver- oni and their two children, aged two and a half and eight years, were sleep- ing in the upper part of the house when the explosions occurred, and although windows in the bedrooms were shat- tered all four escaped without injury. Following the death of the Premier, which occurred at 11.25 p.m., six hours after he was shot, the Cabinet decided to resign and acting Premier Korekiyo Takahashni, aged Finance Minister, called upon Emperor Hirohito to hand in the resignations.

And shorter hours and long- er payrolls have given us bigger and more rugged boys and girls, and fewer [slums and slum conditions, and far .more taxpayers, and following that bet- ter sanitation, education and general progress all along the line. And even industry is beginning to see that part time for all is better than no time for some and full time for the supposedly competent or key men. And paradoxi- cally we have seen that a wider dis- semination or work and Wes among the many actually increases the wealth of the few. thereby. Shorter hours for wage earn- ers, at one time, was supposed to mean longer hours in the saloons and gamb- ling dens. What they really brought Wage earners have already secured a standard of remuneration and hours which a few generations ago would have appeared Utopian, and prosper- ity has not been blighted, but increased civilization has not been lowered, but elevated by raising the standard of liv- ing, and by providing the machinery and opportunities for a general human advancement, in culture and well be- ing. ,les will mean fewer wage earners and , less purchasing power. More Machinery and Luxuries Wouldn’t a more discriminating dis- ltribution and utilization of the wealth . produced meet the needs of the mo- all what we need and desire, is simply more security and more stability. We are getting along fine, but we would like to cut out some of the painful ad- justmentsâ€"the growing pains of indus- tryâ€"if possible. If Mr. Caveman had been handed a gun and cartridges, the times spent in seeking steaks for food and skins for clothing would have been cut to a mere nothing. But would Mrs. Caveman have allowed an idle man to hang around the house? Idle moments can be used in hunting beads and shells, for woman’s adornment or in playing; caveman’s golf, or what the more il- literate called shinny. Today, thanks to science and invention, we have released millions of men from industries that supply us with food, clothing and shel- ter, and have found new sources of em- ployment for them in producing the comforts and luxuries that make this age a paradise for even the poorest families, when compared with a hun- dred years ago. If that means anything it means more labor-saving machin- ery, to provide more luxuries, and more time for luxurious living, for the wage earner as well as the employer. For, if masons, carpenters, plasterers, plumb- ers and painters. And if we restrict in- stalment selling, or credit on automo- biles, furniture, radios, and so on down to imitation beads and men’s spots, the number of men thrown out of em- ployment will be simply appalling. And surely restricted output and lower wag- them will hinder rather than stimulate the production of wealth. No evictions and no foreclosures would. mean no building, and then a bread line for urlous living. and the employer calls for lower wages and restricted output. And all of these panaceas smell to heaven of the machine smashing age. All of Why Not More wm Sank CM Help?
