There is an analogy in the
anecdote of the traveller check-
ing into the motel who asked
the price of a single room. "Our
rates are $6 and $9," the desk
clerk told him. "What's the
difference?" queried the travel-
ler. "The $9 rooms," the clerk
explained, "have free TV."
And it is only in that sense
that government services are
free. -- C. J. Harris.

One of history's most famous
walls was built of stone in 246
B.C. The Great Wall of China
winds on for a length of 1500
miles, and averages 25 feet in
height and from 15 to 30 feet
in width.
Another wall, this one in
Scotland, extended 80 miles,
and was called the Roman Wall
since Roman conquerors built
it to keep out the invading
Picts, a fierce British tribe.
Some people refer to it as Agri-
cola's Wall because a man nam-
ed Agricola built its south bank;
others call it Hadrian's Wall
because Hadrian added to it
near Agricola's section.
Whereas walls once were
built to keep out the enemy,
they now invite the visitor in.
Modern homeowners and archi-
tects use texture and patterns
of building stone to make walls
contrast with the entrance to
the home--or use walls leading
toward office buildings' en-
trances to focus attention on
the doorway and low decora-
tive walls in front of manu-
facturing plants provide a
framework of traditional inter-
est for modern facilities, Own-
ers of homes use walls of sand-
stone, quartzite, granite, mar-
ble, limestone and slate to

tractive invitation to a country residence in Fond du Lac,

in man's history,
Certain rooms in the Louvre
Museum in Paris (once a Paris-
ian palace) are said to have
been constructed so that what
In other words, since the yard-
stick is based on a figure 100
stantial hike in living costs, but
for wage and salary earners
there has been a more than off-
setting increase in incomes.
The index figure for the aver-
age of weekly wages and sal-
aries in all types of business and
industry, also compiled by the
Bureau of Statistics on a base
of 100 for 1949, now stands at
212 -- an increase of more than
100 per cent over the 16 years.
This improvement in workers'
incomes, of course, is small
comfort to persons living on
fixed incomes. Pensions or
other forms of savings do not
appreciate. Those who have
no other source of income are
the ones who really suffer the
penalties of higher living costs.
Higher labor costs have been
one factor in the price rise, but
higher government spending
must be another. Back in 1949
total spending by all govern-
ments in Canada was $3.7 bil
lion; in 1964, latest year for
which the figures are available,
the total was $14.6 billion. One
important element in this in-
crease has been the rise in pub-
lic spending on elementary and
secondary school education --
from $407 million in 1949 to
$2.1 billion in 1964. Another
has been the rise in spending on
health and welfare measures --
from $810 million in 1949 to
about $4.5 billion in 1964.
Most people have some idea
of how much more they are pay-
ing now than 16 years ago to-
wards school costs. Even though
provincial and federal spending
on education is paid by in-
direct taxation, at least the
municipal share is shown on
local tax bills -- which means
higher property taxes for home
owners and higher rents forten-
ants. But the higher costs for
health and welfare services are
not so obvious, Only a small
part of such spending is paid for
by direct charges on the indi-
vidual taxpayer. Most of it is
collected by taxation he is
hardly aware of -- through ex-
cise taxes, sales taxes, payroll
taxes and corporation taxes that
governments levy on business
say, "We love the outdoors."
If you don't want to be seen,
walls keep out eyes: decorative
stone screens are so attractive,
no one can take offense at
your desire for privacy. And if
you want people to enjoy com-
ing in and sitting around your
barbecue or pool, bench-height
stone tree-wells do the trick--
they add beauty to the area,
and act as retaining walls for
earth around trees as well.
Don't "hang by the wall"--
that means you're neglected.
And if you "go to the wall,"
you're in worse trouble--people
treat you as if you're dead! For-
tunately, you can redeem your-
self by "giving the wall," be-
ing courteous; this expression
derives from the 18th century
practice of allowing someone
to pass you on the pavement on
the side away from the gutter.
