CLARENCE LEWIS The boys came in for break­ fast Sunday morning. “It’s a beautiful day, Mother,—warm bright sunshine, the frogs are croaking, the birds are singing, robins—even meadowlarks and Kildeers, no mud, don’t even have to wear rubbers to-day, etc., etc.” I looked out of the window, saw the snow falling on the muddy ground, not a bird in sight and with a “what the” though in my head, I turned. At the same instant I heard “April Fool” and a hearty laugh! Yes, Spring surely played an April Fool trick on all of us Sunday morning. But one of these mornings we’ll wake up to the twitter of happy birds, see sunshine streaming in through winter- smeared windows. As we open the back door we breathe in the delightful freshness of spring air—and we realize its time to do housecleaning.

But it is not enough to know how to do a job. Doing it is what counts. Between knowing and doing there are usually a surprising number of op- - portunities for falling flat on one’s face. The textile industry in Canada, of which Dominion Textile is a part, lias been practising for over a century to avoid falling flat on its face. While learning its job and doing it, the industry has become the largest employer of manufacturing labor in Canada and the payer of the largest manufacturing wage bill.
