Tell me what is mother-wit
But the light of these?
Since the cold weather has come, we miss the groups* of nice-looking
old men who used to gather to talk things over on the post Office steps
and in the gunny doorways. They seemed to lend a cheery, comfortable
atmosphere to Main Street. It is indeed a compliment to the town that
they should want to make their home here, for they bring to the enrich
ment of the community a wealth of mature experience and that fine in
dependence of judgment that only years can impart, it always seems
to me that men such as these have attained true success. They have
taken the portion of time allotted to them, and used it responsibly;
they have done their work conscientiously, brought up families in the
traditions of good citizenship. Through the necessity of co-operation,
they have learned the value of friends and neighbors, and living among
these to keep unsullied their own self-respect. Now, having achieved
a modest security, they have been granted a few unhurried years to
savor the panorama of their days,
As fox* this generation, is it too much to hope, a little wistfully,
perhaps, that we too may enjoy “peace at eventide”?

Indeed, it has seemed incongruous-1 , . , „ ’ ;
ly true that families most .m need of ’prc a n ,n
thrifty handling of their resourc-1
es, are often least equipped to doi
so. To-day we are confronted with
the stern necessity of conserving
every particle of waste, if we are;
to win this war which is making1
such terrific demands on our re I
sources of material. j
First, and probably the least un-1 has taken its place,
derstood, is the necessity of doing known', wkat a romance might bs
what we can to keep the financial'
status of the Dominion sound. To
■this end we must constantly bear in
•mind the truth that every dollar
we spend on importing goods tends
to create an unfavorable trade
balance. Beside this, we must save
every available particle of useable
material in our own country, as
■there will shortly be an actuaj
dearth of these. Every time a busy
woman takes time to tie up a bundle
of papers or save a bit of old cloth,
. she is making a direct contribu
tion. to the war effort.
The reclamation of waste is so
important that the Government has
instituted a Department of Salvage.
Between this and the household
garbage-can stands the connecting
link of the junkmen, all-important
in this business of conservation.
For whether you sell your waste
to the little man who calls on you
in the spring or turn it ovei’ to
the local collecting- agency, it must
eventually come into the possession;
•of one of the great wholesale con
cerns which specialize in reclama-
, tion. On the premises of these
firms vast accumulations of mis>-
cellaneous waste are sorted, clean
ed, valued^ and made ready for
distribution to the industries which
convert it once more into useable ;tha-
