��. MAN'S BEST FRIEND --,HIS JOB
and foremost ft is because he likes his Work
indeed he loves it. His whole heart and sou
are wrapped up in it. His Whole physiea
and mental energies are focused on it. He
walks his work; he talks his •work; he is
entirely ,ins'epara'ble from his .pork, and that
is the way every Man worth this salt ought
to be if he wants to make of his work what
it should be, and make of himself what he
wants to be,—Senator 'Arthur Capper.
A. man's job is his rbest friend. It clothes
and feeds -his wife and children, pays the
refit and supplies them with the wherewithal
to develop and become cultivated. The least
man can do -in return is lave his job. A man's
job is 'grateful. It is like a little garden that
thrives on love. It will one day flower into
fruit worth while, for him and his to enjoy.
If you ask any successful man the reason for
his making good, he will tell you that first
SUPPORT OF C
Many National Employment offices, par-
ticularly in the cities, have had citizens' ad-
visory committees set tip each year for the
past 15;years, for the purpose of aiding in the
empfloyrnent of citizens in their respective
areas. With increased .pl.tfswrTow-n r.t,.,,these
committees have had. increased work to do and
more and more of them are being named.
Concerned about unemployment in Gode-
rich, a group --of Citizens went to the National
Employment Office—here' last week. The "e-esul't
was the setting up of 'a Winter Employment
Advisory Committee. This is the first time

appears in the news columns. The co. ,

EDUCATIONAL CRISIS
Most, if riot all, -Canadian universities have
plans for expanding their buildings -and in-
creasing their teaching staffs .within the next
few' years. The plans have beemmade in anti-
cipation„of increasing numbers of, undergrad-
uates who will be seeking admission and have
been made to appear urgent by the fear that
-other countries, notably Russia, may prove
themselves superior to °Canada in teehtrieal or
sciientific achievement.
The fear is not groundless, but expansion
of university facilities is not necessarily the
best way or the only 'way to remove it: The
size of a . universit3- has little to cio with the
quality .of education it provides. 1 f it is rela-
tively wealthy- it may be able to attract. better
teachers than its pourer competitors •can; •but
:it may lose that advantage if its governing
ody prefers to spend its funds on land and
uildings in' preferenee to raising, professional
salaries. If the university expands its plant
and also raises salaries, it reaches a state, of
'continuing financial 'insecurity, as many alum
ni have already- learned through appeals for
support from their old colleges.
One, hesitates to suggestl another Royal
Comtissi'on, but it Wright be worth while for
the Canadian universities themsi,lves to organ-
ize some kind of inquiry into how mue}) ex -
is necessary, -Who-- hould pity for -it,
whe're.it should take place and related ques-
tions. -•It might be found more. desirable to
expand the smaller universities or to establish
new ones away from the large cities than to
add . to the size of the largest itutions,
whreli may already be too-unwieldly for their
purpose.
No hatter what state assistance may be
given to promising students, there will always
be costs to be met by university students or
their families,.and the prospect is that these
costs will increase rather than diminish. ,It
may he that some students. who win scholar-
ships so lavishly promised by politicians-froii,
the public funds will imot be able to take a0 -
vantage of their opportunities, because they
cannot afford the extra ousts of cite living far
from home. Yet it dors not seem quite fair to
make taxpayers saddle themselves with, the
living costs as well as the educational fees ..of
complete strangers. Not that fairness ever
seems to play'' much part in the thinking of
lioliticians handling taxpayers' money.
Probably .some university facilities should
always be situated in large cities.- Medical
training, for example, may be dependent ,on,
the variety of eases that can be found only it
the large hospitals. But that raises the further
question of whether national health insurance
will not deter large .num'bers of potential doc-
tors from studying medicine and so make
further expansion of Canadian medical schools
redundant. .
There are many types of university eduea
t -ion -that could -be .carried on as -efficiently as
at present if the larger universities decentral-
ized and some faculties moved from cities ti
snrall'er towns. It is a matter worth consider-
ing.—The Printed Word.

Maybe the . building of the 0,(100,000
children's hospital on t he Blue Water 11igh-
,way south of Goderich will open up ot her
developments between the town limits and
down the highway for a distance. We hardly
expect it to become a second "trald, Mile”
such as in Toronto but it could eceivably-
blossom. out somewhat. As a matter of fact,
the Town Planning Board has •looked to this
area to be ,the first to develop when Goderich
eventually does start growing with a ven-
N geafce. At the same time, if a million.., alla.r

WHAT DOCTORS SAY ABOUT:
• - Twins
• Brain Size
Q. Medically, what is the differ-
ence between identical twins
and ordinary twins? -
'A. First, let's start with a
single birth. The fertilized
egg begins' to divide - and rap-
idly forms a ball of cells from
which the individual devel-
ops. If the cell ball splits,
two individuals develop from,
the same egg. These are iden- '
tical. twins. They are of the
same sex and are look-alikes.
Twins of the. other variety
come from two fertilized eggs.
These are called fraternal
twins and have no greater re-
semblance than other bro-
thers and sisters. Fraternal
twins . may or may_ not be
of the same sex.
Q. A large brain and high
intelligence go hand in hand.
True or b false?
A. Mainly false. A professor of
zoology at the University of Co-
penhagen says that within
limits, the weight of the brain
\does not seem to have a bear-
ing on intelligence. However,
mental deficiency does occur
when the number of brain
cells are - below a certain
limit, Np one knows for
sure what this limit is.
