In addition the great camp accommo- dates the Royal Canadian Regiment, (paratroopers). the Royal Canadian Dragoons and other permanent force units, Then, too, there are troops of the 27th Brigade, training for the part they will play in the protection of our share of interests in Western Europe. Major-General Graham, who is COC for Central Com- mand (Ontario), is a quiet and dignified officer, who quite apparently has the complete respect of all those in his com- mand. lie devoted an entire day to escorting our press party all over the vast acreage of Petawawa and the same evening, with his gracious wife, entertained us at his home before our departure for Ottawa. Two superb buffet lunch- eons were provided, not by the taxpayers, but by the offi- cers' mess. Frankly, we hadn't known previously that Army cooks were capable of such wonders, for the meals were grand. Elsewhere in this issue we carry a detailed account of our visit to Calnp Petawawa, but we are pleased indeed to express our thanks here for the hospitality extended by the Army and General Graham and to voice our admira- tion for the training program which is being carried out in this Command. . * * Who Says the Standard of Living Isn't Up? In the normal course of a day, one hears a good deal of grumbling about the high cost of staying alive. We even those who contend that we were better off in the depression days when butter was 25c a pound and a dollar's worth of meat would do the average family for a week. Apparently some people forget quickly. Despite high food costs, high clothing costs and high taxes, we're still doing alright. There is only one way to measure man's prosperity. There is no point in saying wages are low, or that costs are high. The big point is, how much does the ordinary fellow have left over after he has paid the grocer and the coal man. indications at the present time are that most people have more money for a good time than ever before. As the temperance people re- mind us, liquor and beer sales have reached an all-time peak; sports and public entertainment are receiving record patronage; more people own and us'e cars than ever be- fore; and as final proof, the holiday week has become al- most universal. Only a few years ago it was an unheard-of thing for a. small town business to close its doors for a full seven days in the summer time. Now the greater portion of those who are in business or in the professions do just that, (our- selves included). The big change has been made, of course, by the law which makes it obligatory to provide a week's holidays for employees. Most places of business find that it is easier to close down entirely than to carry on all sum- mer with a short staff, while holiday time is granted on a rotation basis. Nevertheless it is quite apparent that in Canada we tend more and more to shorter ,working hours, with our five day week and our holiday closing. Even farming people are not tied down to the long hours of labor their fathers knew, for modern equipment has vastly lightened the burden. * * * Tough Job for Teachers Returning again to the military theme, we would like to hand out a few editorial bouquets to the High School teachers of this province. At Camp Petawawa we watched a couple of platoons of middle-aged men going through a particularly stiff exercise in field craft. The weather was blistering and they were dressed in heavy black Army coveralls, carrying Brett guns and rifles and dodging and worming their v ay through some of the roughest terrain in Ontario as they engaged in a mock battle. These men were a group of high school teachers who were in camp on a course which will fit them to instruct cadets in the various Cadet Corps at their own schools. They don't ordinarily engage in this type of work which prepares them for the physical rigours of such a course and it must really knock the starch out of these older men when they are on course. The training which they have to impart to the Cadets is of particular value, for it is from the ranks of these Corps that many officers will be drawn in future years. The Army demands particularly high standards of cadet instructors and the teachers deserve tremendous credit for their will- ingness to go through the tough training involved. Many a younger man would shrink from the sheer effort involved. ,'NEWS OF BEGMORE Haskins Family Gathers for Re-union at Formosan' Park Tuesday last on a trip through the Western provinces to Vancouver to visit Mr. Curie's brother, Mr. Gordon Curie.
