The new Minimiim. Wage-Act.^oL
. the Ontario Government; came into
effect on the 1st of September, and
affects the furniture industry par^
ticularly. The new Act is, quite dras
tic and, being in force in Ontario
only, is not viewed with any par
ticular enthusiasm by the furniture
I manufacturers. That it will increase
''*■ i^heir costs, goes without saying.
/ The new Act put a further crimp
in the chances of what ?is termed
unskilled labor, arid will likely result
in many of this class of labor__oyer_

YEAR after year, the idea of cam-

memorable occasions, has. grown
steadily. Last year, if you’ll pardon
’ the personal intrusion, I gave my

her everywhere, much to our mutual
joy. , v
To some folks, I wouldn't dream
of giving a came'ra; They’re not
enough interested in other folks’^and
places and life in general to get any
fun out of it.
But there are others'—the major
ity—to whom a camera would mean
much. ’ ■
What kind of camera? It depends
entirely on the kind of person Who is
. tr/receive it. Every youngster should
have a charice at a camera, but only
of the simplest, most inexpensive
sort. By “inexpensive” I mean cam
eras-costing from, say, one to five
dollars. They should bo of any of
the standard makes, rising film
available everywhere.
Of course, if you have a young
friend who has shown moVo than
