PERENNIAL PROBLEM
MOST OF US recogniie that, our climate
being what it is, the problem of seasonal unem-
ployment is a perennial ,one for Canada. ,But
does it follow from this that we must fatalistic-
ally, resign ourselves to large-scale unemploy-
ment between January and April every year?
A lot of people who used to think so now know.
dief erent,
Of course, it's true that the coming winter
implies fewer job opportunities for construction
and allied workers, and that fishermen and
others who work out of doors are less sure of
regular employment. This is obvious enough.
But the experience of a groWing number of cities,
towns and 'villages across Canada 'has in recent
years proven conelusively that a little intelli-
gent foresight and advance planning at the com-
munity level can go a long way towards beating
this thing.
How? By spreading the job load more
evenly over the year as a Whole. Governments,
municipalities, private and. commercial under-
takings and individuals have all found that there
are no end of projects which can be both com-
menced and completed in winter. And more
conveniently and at less cost than in summer,
too.
This is neither wishful thinking nor 'mere
exhortation. Seasonal unemployment can be
kept to an absolute minimum if there is a
really concerted effort at' the community level.
If, on the other hand, there is widespread apathy
and complacency on the part of those whose jobs
are not directly 'bound up with weather condi-
tions, then there surely will be a steep increase
in-the number Of those who are without work.

A high level of employment is vital- to both
national and local prosperity in winter no less
thaii in spring, summer and autumn. Without
it, consumer demand for goods and services can-
not be sustained and business will become de-
pressed, ' Everyone of us has a vested interest
in seeing that this is not allowed to happen.

IT'S THE TAXPAYER
WHO GET'S CLIPPED!
SAVING MONEY for the taxpayer is a ser-
ious business for the -RieenbeweX. administration
in Washington. According "to The *fanehester
Guardian Weekly; one committee in the US cap-
ital has 'come up with some astonishing statistics
about the waste of paper clips.
According to this committee's findings, only
about one-fifth of a batch of 100,000-paper clips
were used for the purpose for which they were
intended. The remaining 80,006 were used for a
variety of purposes which neither the taxpayers
nor the manufacturers ever bitended.
3,196 were used as pipe cleaners; 5,308 were
used as nail cleaners; 5,434 became toothpicks
or ewe-scratchers; 19,413 served as stakes during
card games; 14,163 were twisted out of recog-
nition during boring phone conversations; 7,300
became make-shift hooks. The rest were lost in
one way or another.
The taxpayer, it seems, it always the one to
get clipped!
and give it to him personally.

Is deer hunting really as thrill-
ing as all that, or is it simply a
male conspiracy to shake the old
ball-and-chain for a ,couple of
weeks and exchange the babble of
little voices for the belling of a
hound giving tongue?
* *
I asked a couple of deer hunt-
ers about this one night, and half
an hour later, Ito my horror, I dis-
covered that I was going deer
hunting with them. Now don't
worry, lady, I promise you I won't
shoot a deer. I've been shooting
at things all my life, from crows
with a catapult to German tanks
with 60-pound rockets, and I've
never hit a thing, Any deer with-
in rifleehot of me is as safe a$
he would be in a zoo,

I don't knew how it is around
your town, but around here, this is
a bad time of year. An epidemic
is loose, and everybody suffers—
wives, children, old people and all
non-deerhunters.
*
You'll see the hunters, before the
season opens, standing around '1'n
little clusters, muttering myster-
iously, when they should be at
work. Novices, going for their
first shoot, are out scouring the
farms around, trying to borrow a
rifle. Wornert read aloud at meal
times all the hunting casualties
from the papers.

What is this strange fascination
that deer hunting holds for other-
wise normal men? Reliable plumb-
ers will go off and leave an old
widow with her bathroom half 'in-
stalled, when the season opens.
Solicitous husbands who normally
won't let their wives lift anything
heavier than a cupoof tea, Will run
gaily off to the woods and let
them wrestle for two weeks with
the 'furnace, the kids, the snow
shovelling and the bill collectors...

Shrewd businessmen who would
stay open all day Sunday if they
thought they could make a sale,
suddenly get philosophical at deer
hunting time, say: "yon only live
