Supervise The Supervisors
CIVIL SERVANTS, in the lower brackets,
a least, are generally a civil and docile class
of people, and, to do Them justice, it must
be admitted that they seldom complain about
being overworked. It was therefore ungrateful
on the part of George G. Jackson, a sub -
chairmen of the federal Civil Service Com-
mission, to accuse them of not working hard
enough. They probably do all the work there
is for them to do, and it is not their fault
if there is not enough and they find time
hangs on their hands.
' Addressing 300 delegates of the Civil Ser-
vants' Federation, Mr. Jackson said that civil
servants throughout Canada spend too much
time in coffee shops' in the mornings and
afternoons, and that they play the old army
game of "swinging the lead" in pleading sick-
ness. lid bluntly warned them that he was
not going to stand for any more abuse of the
eight-day casual leave privilege. Under the
Civil Service Act, employees are allowed eight
days' casual leave without having to obtain
a medical certificate; "It is amazing," said
Mr. Jackson, "how many civil servants become
quite healthy on the ninth day."
As forthecoffee drinking sprees in office
time, Mr. Jackson said the practice had assum-
ed such alarming proportions` that it had de-
veloped into a .major problem for his depart-
ment. He put the blame for this state of
things upon the slackness of the supervisors.
".There is far. too much passing the buck when
supervisors are. called upon to make recom-
mecrda-lions," he said.
But the supervisors, being themselves civil
servants, may like their cups of coffee between
meals. The obvious remedy for this situation
would be to appoint non -coffee drinking super -
supervisors to supervise the supervisors.
Anglo-Saxon. Union?'
RECENTLY THE AMERICAN AUTHOR,
Louis Bromfield, told a Toronto audience that
reunion of the United States with the British
Commonwealth was essential and inevitable.
The Financial Post asked a group of prominent
Canadians what they thought of this predic ;
tion. The majority answering thought that
such a union would be highly desirable but
they differed when it came to saying it would.
be Inevitable.
What was emphasized was that there
should be closer co-operation between English-
speaking nations and complete co-ordination
of resources, skills and experience should be
brought about as a potent factor in fighting
communism,
Ad Infinitum!
CONSIDER THE AUTOMOBILE. Though
it is a rugged piece of machinery, its owner,
aided by the designers and the accessory trade,
pampers it with protection.
Once the radiator was the front of the
automobile. Now it is covered by the hood
and protected by a grille. Then the grille
must be defended by a bumper and a bumper
guard.
The metal of the body is covered with
the finest, hardest, and shiniest of enamels.
Yet the careful car owner covers the enamel
with wax or a plastic finish—he must protect
the paint that protects the metal.
Inside, the manufacturer selects his up-
holstery for style and durability; and a sales-
man persuades the buyer to put on seat coverg
to protect the upholstery from being soiled—
or seen.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY—Isn't it strange
bow gals suddenly become left-handed when
they are wearing a brand new engagement
ring?

An Important Announcement
about
NEW MARGENE
When the sale of Margarine in Canada became legal 12 months
ago, MARGENE was the first brand to p,ppear on the market.
At that time Margarine had been banned from. Canada for 25
years. There was no way of knowing what flavour and what texture
would best appeal to the Canadian palate.
In the intervening 12 months, Canada Packers has carried on
week -to -week tests to find out exactly the flavour Canadians wish.
We feel we have it in the NEW MARGENE—the flavour and the
-texture Canadians like.
I:f you have not tasted the NEW MARGENE try it now.
SPREAD IT on hot toast.
SERVE IT with hot vegetables.
BAKE with it.
