Children Tumbled into Cistern i The quick action of Councillor Mel/L; Pearson and effective First Aid work'; of Mrs. Pearson (the former Dorothyi Tanner} prevented a double drowning tragedy on Sunday morning last when the two small daughters of Mr. and; Mrs. Albert Disch fell into the large cistern beneath their home, which is] ‘the former Fred Forsyth property neari ithe west-end bridge.

Bunessan Crawford The belief is growing, among those who let others do their thinking, that most of us could get by with very lit- tle work, if any, if our politicians were smart, enough. Unfortunately, it is too often good politics to foster that belief. ‘It is being mooted as a partial remedy {for post-war ills. Some see coming an economic sys- tem that. relieves everyone of the pain of whatever effort is required. The amazing advances of science and invention have led figure-minded econ- omists to conclude that it would be very simple to produce all that men re- quire with very little work in a very short time. The great majority of us have been too busy to consider what this idea may mean to us. In Canada and the United States,| where the advances of science and in-l vention have been applied to produc- tion, there have been demonstrations of the manufacture of needs and wants. that impressively support the View"I that somebody could produce somehow: enough for somebody But Canada andi ithe United States have never yet pro-‘ lduced and distributed enough of every - 1 thing for everybody. President Roose-E ‘velt says that at the peak of U. S ‘prosperity one- -third of the people were ill-housed, ill-clad and ill- fed. Canada lis little different in that regard. ‘ There is no doubt that a physically 'fit, highly intelligent well educated people living in an ideal woxld from ‘which any and every raw material ‘could be secured at will, could, in the :course of fifty years, produce its needed and most of its wants in a work~week iof thirty hours or less.

No. l2--NO EASY WAY short hours of the few must be paid for by the long hours of the many. All who work longer hours would welcome the nation-wide application of the 48-hour week, the 40-hour week, all of which exist in Canada for some workers. Everyone would be delighted with the lilo-hour week. The 30 hour week would cut the farm work-week in half. It would do as much for many other occupations. But. it would raise the cost of living in Can- ada to an impossible figure. It would reduce production to the point of po- verty. It would increase rather than abate suffering. No question of health. leisure or re- creation is involved in the eight hour day, or in the forty-eight hour week that provides a halfâ€"holiday on Satur- day and a day of rest each week. The production of Canada with an average work-week of forty-eight hours would not provide an adequate national in- come. Reduced hours of work increase costs; costs that can only be met by ithose who work longer or harder; 'costs that rise everv few vears to the lpoint where the value of short- hour goods ia so out of line with long- hour Egoods that exchange breaks down and fire have depression. Why nor have a national minimum work week of forty- eight hours until everyone in Canada can enjoy it. Mrs. Alex. C.
