Clinton News-Record, 1960-08-11, Page 8Recently in the Toronto Globe and Mail oonsiderable epace Was given to .a .certain British economist, C, Northeote Parkinson, expanding what is known. as, Parkinson's Law, The Law may be summed up in the single sentence "Work. expands so as to fill the time available for its .completion," This was directed particularly 'toward government workers and civil servants. On this basis it follows that the more people there are on the job 'the sooner it doesn't get done so the government hires more people to help not finish it, Whether this is a true state- ment or .not I leave it with you . to decide, I am not averse to criticism of the government as some of you-May have noticed in previous articles but to give that certain well known indi- vidual his. due I feel I must say that I think the government is not alone in this weakness.. The other day I had an acci- dent. I stubbed my toe on the sidewalk and ripped 'the sale of my shoe quite badly. After a speedy retreat 'to the shoe re- pair shop and while sitting with one shoe on and one shoe off I listened to the difficulties in the shoe business.

Volunteer firemen from Zu- rich and Beyfield were credit- ed with saving the nearby house when the fire threatened to spread. Mr. Rau and neighbours led ten steers from the burning barn. Also lost in the blaze were several bags of grain, a wagon, f arm machinery, six electric motors, an' electric grinder and other equipment. Mrs. Rau said a preliminary estimate of damage was $15,000. It was the first alarm for the Zurich Fire Brigade in over a year. 0 Carry Number of Hospital Insurance At All Times Every resident who is insur- ed should always be prepared, on a moment's notice, to show the hospital his Hospital Insur- ance Certificate, or give the number. The need to go to hospital could come without warning. Only one certificate is pro- vided for each family, but many people are keeping a sep- arate record of the certificate number where it can easily be found in an emergency. The telephone pads at home 'and at work are good places to write down along with other em- ergency numbers. Another good idea is for every member of the family who caries a purse or wallet to have the hospital insurance number in it. It could save a great deal of trouble and cr'ncern.

He went on to explain that from the time I sell a cow hide until I purchase it back as sole leather it paSIWS' tough nine sales (transactions, Each one provides a profit to. the dealer. He told me that he had tried to buy hides locally and sell direct to the tanneries but couldn't sell .direct, He could only sell toa dealer thence the hide moved to a large whole- saler and then to the tannery. In; purchasing leather he can't purchase from the tannery so the leather follows a similarly extended road baek. to the con- sumer,. Parkinson's Law could apply quite nicely here. Again in chatting with a couple of merchants in one of our local villages I found that both were bewailing the fact that they had to keep their stores open five and 'a half days a week plus one evening. They bath agreed that much of the time they were twiddling their thumbs' waiting for suck- ers (excuse me I mean cus- tomers). Yet I think both had cottages at the lakeshore. Would Parkinson's Law apply? In contrast the farmer who finds that he hasn't enough cattle to 'keep him busy puts in some pugs, If he finds that since using a 'baler or harves- ter there's room to spare in his barn end there is a fair chance that he can persuade the wife or kids that cleaning eggs is a good pastime, he puts in some hens. Then it becomes a pro- blem of crowding accumulation of work into the time avail- able. Parkinson's Law in re- verse. It seems to me that farmers are playing the game by a dif- ferent set of rules than the rest of the population. Abe Zapfe, Byron, called on friends in the village on Fri- day. Mrs. S.
