APPLICATION OF ACT ON HOURS OF WORK IS POSTPONED Minister of Labour Says Vital War Production Cannot Be Hampered A statement issued from the office of the Honourable Charles Daley, Minister of Labour for Ontario, an- nounces the postponement' of certain provisions of the "Hours of Work and Vacations with Pay" Act. , The Ad, which becomes effective July 1st, of this year, was designed to establish a maximum 48-hour week in this province for all persons em- ployed in busines's and industry, as well as providing for one week's vaca- tion with pay, in each year, to every one so employed for a full year with one firm. In other words, on the an- niversary of each year's employment, employees become eligible for a week's vacation with pay. The Industry and Labour Board, under which body the Act will be ad- ministered, says that while plans are now being laid for the operation of the Act, it would be unsound at this time to impose arbitrary changes. The need for all-out production on essential war materials might be seriously inter- fered with if drastic changes. in pres- ent hour schedules, which might be made necessary in conforming to the terms of this Act, were made. This is particularly true in view of the man-power shortage existing at the present time. The Board, therefore, considers that a postponement of the provisions of the act regulating "Work hours" is necessary, and will be neces- sary, while the present critical produc- tion requirements and acute shortage of man-power exists. "The Board therefore authorizes the continuance of existing working hours in all industries operating on priority war materials in the Province of On- tario", the statement says. Industries engaged in, agriculture, horticulture, fishing and the produc- tion of foods and farm products; dairy industries including cheese and butter production; firms. engaged in the build- ing and maintenance of roads, con- struction, transportation, textiles and other undertakings which can be con- sidered essential to the full mainten- ance of the war effort, shall be con- sidered in the category of war indus- tries in so far as present working hours are concerned. 'Periods of relaxation, both mental and' physical, to provide recreation are essential for general health and mor- ale, however," Mr. Daley said, "It is probably of more value in this time of mental stress and physical presstre than at any other time, The provis- ions of the Act, therefore, applying to at least one week's vacation with pay shall apply to all persons qualifying Wider the term of employment, This does not neces's'arily mean that vaca- don must begin on July 1st, but that vacations with pay shall be provided for all employees effective July 1st, 1944, tinder the individual employer's plan allotting vacation time," Mr. Daley said.

Spray To Keep Dogs, Cats From Shrubs Flowers and shrubs in the front garden and ornamental plants on front porches and the corner posts of porch- es may be protected against damage by dogs and cats by the simple use of a dilute nicotine spray. The spray is harmless but its smell is very of- fensive to cats and dogs, even when applied so thinly that persons are un- aware of its presence. The spray evaporates and should be renewed after rain, In good weather, spraying every two weeks is sufficient. The name of the material is nicotine sulphate and it may be bought at any seed or drug store. The spray is pre- pared by mixing one-half teaspoonful of the nicotine sulphate with one gal- Ion of water, which makes the mixture strong enough for all ordinary circums stances. The Milking Stool Another Symbol of the HARD WAY Becomes a Relic One by one the time-taking, tiring and tiresome hand labor chores of the farm have been eliminated by a machine that does the work easier; quicker and more profitably. The milking stool for instance has long been a symbol of the hard way to do a job. But more and more dairymen are spending less time on milking stools now. Shortage of help and pressure of work have empha- sized the value of using machines instead of muscles wherever possible; and dairymen have found the answer in the mechanical milking machine. Because the purchase of a milking machine saved them hours of time and labor, thousands of dairymen have been' able to carry on and benefit from the great demand for dairy products in recent years. "Hand milking" is out for them now that they have experienced the comfort and convenience of a mechanical milker. In the progress that Canadian agriculture has made in improved methods and practices, equipment engineered and manufactured by Massey-Harris has played an im. portant part. Among the time and labor saving machines your local Massey-Harris dealer has to offer is the Rite Way Milker. Make it a point to ask him for full particulars.
