For six months there hm, heels, is
strike at the Durham Furniture -Ceraf
piney plant and the parties appear to
be getting farther apart each week,
When most regular employees de,
dined to return to work without a
union contract, the company started
hiring others including men from out
of town,
^ As the number of workers at the
plant increased to neaely a firtudreel,
the union countered by occasionally
bringing in outside union men to hole
ster the picket line at five o'clock
closing time.
This year's council decided not to
have extra police protection and the
duties have been left to the two town
constables.
Monday last week and Tuesday last
week extra pickets were on duty and
scuffles and fights broke out, partic-
ularly Tuesday evening, No charges
were laid.
Friday evening severe) pickets''frorn
Hanover came to Durham and when
the strilte-breakers were' eaving the
plant in cars the doors were pulled
and doors of half a dozen locked cars
were kicked in.--Durham Chronicle.

Social SeeuritY
Sociel security is a term that is
'usually associated with the laboring
class of people, with those who make
their living from the jobs provided
for them by industry. For years the
farmer has looked at these people and
scoffed at the way they were spend-
'Mg their money seeking security for
the days of unemployment, for the
days of sickness, and the days of old
But, whether we care to admit it
or not, we find that, in this present
,day period, the farmer is the man
!wile has suddenly become Conscious
of social security, He is the prime
target of the various salesmen, peddl-
ing such wares as hospitalization, life
i insurance, fire and accident insurance,
Iautemotive insurance, and more re-
ceiitly Workmen's Compensation and
TT. ] yment
I This doese't mean that the farmer
:has any fears that he will eventually
become unemployed, for I doubt If
that:will ever become a reality, But
the farmer has found that the things
lie used to laugh at are not so bad af-
ter all. Take the worker in a fac-
tory, for example. He pays regular
:dues into unions which are supposed
to• fight for better working condi-
tions, better wages and other such
advantages. Now the farmer has his
own organizations which are likewise
StriVinglar better prices, more xecog-
nitlen. and a generally better ,411-
round fartning set-up. Re, like the
industrial worker, is supporting his
organization for regular dues, such
as the taro-Valle Mill assessment for,
the FecleratiOn of Agriculture and
other such rates of membership.
The farmer used to look upon hoe-
vitalization as an unnecessary evil,
the product of some grafter's mind.
Now most farmers and their wives
and families are covered by one or
other of the many policies to be found
in this area. As a .result they are
getting better care, better treatment,
and the Iife expecticiey is advancing.
True, the hospitals are full all the
time, but likewise health standards
:are improving. Farmers now refer
'to this hospitalization as .a necessary
evil, The same for life insurance.
There used to be few farmers who
had such policies. New practically
every farmer under 45 has, one or
more, Farmers used to trust in God
when the wind blew, and did the same
with regard to fire damage. Now he
gives God a handwith fire, wind and
hail insurance.
Fearing liability assessments by the
courts, the farmers have insurance
on their cars, and trucks, and many
have the same on their tractors.
They have their cattle, and hogs in-
sured for loss, when they are truck-
ed to market, and they cash in when
the red cow is struck by lightning.
Workmen's Compensation is now
creeping into the farm scene as
workers who will work without it are
hard to find. It protects the farmer,
and he and his own family may be
covered by *this if they each receive
a stated wage, or portion of the farm
returns, The same for unemployment
insurance, believe it or not. There are
few farmers who will deny that the
old age pension is a good thing, a
handy thing for old folks, and there
are also few -who decline to cash
their children's allowance cheques.
Yes, social security has entered the
realm' of agriculture, in the past five
years. The old quotation that "They
who came to mock remained to
praise" could very well apply here.
Evening Guild
The regular monthly meeting of
the Evening Guild of St. Paul's Angli-
can Church was held at the home of

while the other members sewed. The

followed with prayer by Mrs. Parker.

Mrs. G. Beattie and Mrs. E. Armitage.

Hockey Notes
Two teams in the Intermediate hoc-
key group, Belmore and Belgrave,
neither of whom had suffered defeat
so far this year came to grips in the
arena here last Wednesday night.
After a clean, hard fought game, with
few penalties, 13elmore emerged vic-
torious. Mr. Weiss of Teeswater, made
a satisfactory referee, and a good
crowd was out to encourage the boys.
On Friday night the Blyth Midgets
met the Belmore team in the arena
here, this was a good game and the
home boys were in the lead until the
last few minutes, when the Blyth boys
managed to score twice, winning the
game. The Belmore team has not
had the best of luck this season, but
the critics say they are improving, so
keep trying boys you may surprise
yourselves.
