J. Dale, W. R. Jewitt, John Armstrong $1429000 (Owen Sound Sun-Thnes) In recent weeks a new phrase has •.erept into the English 1anguage -- • take-home-pay—a rather clumsy way of expressingthe amount of wages re - 'mining in the 'worker's pay envelope after pertain deductions have been Made by the employer for taxes, union dues, group insurance and other things which the worker con - •adders important and. for which he . as willing to pay—or has to pay whether he iswillingor not. Briefly, it is the amount of money the worker is able to take home after all de• - ductions have been made. 'While the 'workerscan hardly be blamed for wanting to take home as Much of their pay as possible, there is just a chance — I might say • a large chance — that they are going the wrong way about it, for unions 'are demanding higher wages and threatening to enforce their demands by Striking: Some are demanding inereasea of thifty per cent coupled .with shortening of the work week from forty-eight to forty. If these double.harreled demands succeed 'Where will the workers he let? For the imiount of money the HIILLETI` CHAIRMAN JOHN ARMSTRONG Londesboro worker takes home is not the import- ant thing; what is important is the amount that stays at home — the amount he has left when the next payday comes around. In other words, the amount he is able to save after meeting his day-to-day expenses. Let us suppose that the worker obtains his thirty per cent. increase. Let us suppose that the total of de ductions at the source remain the same. His take-home pay is up, net by thitty per cent. Very gratifying-- until he conies ta consider that, be- cause of his thirty per cent increase and similar increases in pay in other industries, • the cost a- living has jumped, forty per cent. Increases wages are always reflected in in- creases in costs of production; and by the time those•increases have been • POWERFUL BEACON GODERICH—Great Lakes freight- ers rushing wheat from the Lakehead to eastward are • meeting heavy weather and fog, but skippers are high in their praise of the radio beacon established here as a guide.

The retailer has to have his profit. So, by the time next pay- day has come along, the take-home pay has shrunk considerably; the stay-at-hoxne pay has not panned out as expected. If the worker obtains •both the in- crease in pay and the shorter work week, where does that leave hits? His pay per hour has been raised but his work -week has been Short- ened. Leaving the take-home pay, with the deductions at the source the same, in the ratio of 5,200 to 4,800, mit much of a margin to take care of the increased cost of living. When all the factors present themselves higher wages, higher cost of production, higher cost of living there will be dexPands for further increases in pay. Which will lead inevitably to higher production costs and inflation. For take-home pay is only a very minor factor; the important one is stay-at-home pay— the part of his earnings that a. work- er can save. • RCAF RADIO ,SC110,0,14 CHAIRIVI.ikN FLT. LIEUT. B. B.

When cleaning bookcases ' and magazine racks do not forget to ready to rearrange the furniture and hang fresh curtains.
