People who make a living analyzing the why's and wherefore's of human behaviour have a theory on Father's .aecline and fall from his lofty position around the turn of he century to his present-day status of butt for frivolous novels, cartoons, and radio comics' "punch lines." The Theory—as nearly as we can recall—has to do with wo- men's entry into the business world during World War I, the flapper period when "modern" parents made their first appearance, and a number of other factors that escape us at the moment, We will now proceed to explode the carefully built up Theories of the sociologists. Itfirst, we contend that Father is the subject of a great real of gentle ridicule because he prefers it that way. He pokes fun at Father's Day—the one day in the year set aside in his honor—and observes Mother's Day with a le CONSERVATION CLUB HAS MUCH TO DO The formation of a conservation club in this locality is a promising move. Comprising as it does, the commun- ities of Lucknow and Teeswater as well as Wingham and the districts between these places, the club hopes to enlist at.least 1,000 memberships. If anywhere near the above number of enthusiastic -conservationists can be attracted as sound members a great deal can he accomplished. It must be remembered. lhowever, that the organization has been set up as a con- servation club and not merely a fish and game club to provide easy hunting and fishing. The members will have to bear in mind that any one of these members who - transgresses the laws which govern seasons for hunting and fishing will be- a first-class Judas----for the very essence sof the whole idea is to preserve the fish and game in our territory and to permit a return to the days gone by, -when our streams and forests contained an adequate population of natural life. It must be remembered, too, that conservation applies 4:41.m11,11.1.11.111•11.1•000.0.1.110.151.1•0.•040.0•11.11.o.(14011.041,1D111.1)0Mh.1.1141111111.0.1011.0=11.4101M-1)4MMIIIMM11M.04101.0.1.1141.1., Ttot just to wild life, but to the preservation of watershed areas antd forest cover, so that the, fish and game will not be robbed of their homes. It is hardly to be expected that this particular club will take on any major projects of reforestation, Kitt their weight of opinion. and the degree to which the members can co-operate will have much to do with the success of such ventures when they are intro- ,duced ty the proper authorities. THE FUNCTION OF PROFITS It is estimated that, to maintain existing standards living on the North American Continent, industry will :have to invest 250 billion of new capital by 1960, Current .ravings is the only source of this new capital. The accumulated funds of business enterprises are ihe'thief source of new capital for expansion and improve- ment. Of the 100 billion so invested by the steel industry in the U.S.A. since 1945, 80 billion came from undistributed ',earnings, In 33 years the Ford Company of the U.S.A. _invested one half of its net profit in plant and equipment and paid in dividends only 15% of the net profits. Work- ling capital took 35%, A free economy can progress only if its rate of profit is high enough to produce the constant increase in capital availAte for productivity increase, and increase in national intorn e, The Fanning Mill by Bob Carbert Have you a garden at your home? Everyone should have a garden, Everyone should have his own flow- ers and his own vegetables, A garden serves as recreation, relaxation, a hob- by if you like, and it saves a lot of money too. But, it presents a lot of problems too. For instance, in a small garden what varieties and what plants should get the preference, Last year we bought a five cent package of carrot seed, and we raised enough carrots for everyone in our block, a complete stock for Bugs Bunny and more to spare, We had two different lots of beans, and we had more beans than the city of Boston, But we had other difficulties, Our dog took a liking to corn, and ate the cobs as fast as they Matured. The worms finished off the radishes, the birds ate the peas and the cherries and the sun bleached the cucumbers. This year we decided to start off on a new foot, and benefit from last year's mistakes. We planted our first radish seed, applied salt to scare away the worms, and nothing came up.. I guess we put too much salt on the seeds and cured them. Most every thing is now growing nicely, includ- ing the flowers. The other night, I decided to plant the dahlias, My wife was away at a meeting, and the dah- lias were all firmly planted. Then, when the better half had arrived at home, all innocence, she asked, "Did You save those dahlias for the neigh- bours?" I said "'What dahlias do you mean?" and the answer was "You know very well I promised them dah- lias last fall." So, we dug up the dahlias again. It's funny how the children come from nowhere, when you head for the garden with your garden tools under your arm, "Daddy, can I plant?" "Daddy, what are you .,going to do?" "Daddy, what are you putting in there?" This year we have another pro- blem. There are two rabbits in our section of town, and they both like garden plants, Furthermore, you all know what happens, when there are two rabbits. We are afraid that this might just happen in our part of town. Sometimes, we look out the !window, and we see these little a.ni- 1 coals nibbling at the flowers, and the vegetables, and we wonder if game preservation has gone too far. Even the dog is practising conservation, either that or she is scared of the rabbits, I could dig out the trusty .22, but I don't think that Chief Irwin would appreciate that, within the boundaries of the town., Is there a sling shot or a ferret in the commun- ity? A garden is a problem, but those who know tell us that it is worth about $80 to the average householder. If you want to know more about gardens and garden vegetables, how to plant, care, and treat them for pests and diseases, contact the Agri- culture representative, and ask him of a copy of the new booklet on "Gardening." It's really worth the money, but better still it costs nothing at all. ••••••.•1010.1MOIN.
