WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS ARE SAYING'
WORK AND WAGEScentres of population, now assuming
;the proportions of, Big Business and
Educated people sometimes complain
that the :man who has skill with his
hands is often better paid for his la-
bor than the one who has trained his
mind or brain. Sometimes they say
that muscle gets higher pay than de-
velopment of literary gifts. Many
ministers and teachers, for instance
are not as well paid as . many skilled
mechanics. And the young lady who
may not get as much pay as one wh
does housework.
The pay people get is dependent in
part on whether the" work is popular
and agreeable. If the people all rush
to get the 'professional and business
and 'clerical jobs, and few want to
lay: the bricks or wash the dishes, the
folks• who; are willing to do such
things have to' be paid pretty well.
It takes• close observation and intel-
ligence to be' a good mechanic or
good houseworker, and these trades
should be highly respected.—Grimsby
Independent.
the administration costs are' mount
ing year after year. To have the
,necessary money all provided by the
Federal Treasury would certainly be
an invitation to allow administrative
'costs to rise higher and higher; And
this, to our way of thinking,"is rad-
ically wrong.' It is hardly human to
expect administrative costs to - drop
of" their own volition. Something
° must be done to force the issue. If
a progressively smaller sum was al-
lowed each relief division or centre
for administration purposes there
would be a choice of but two altern-
atives: salaries or staff would be re -i
Iduced. We think it would be the
staff in most cases. Continuing' on
with this thought the next step
would be in reducing the amount of
work done by a curtailed staff. This
;would be accomplished by eliminat-
ing. the various forms of "chiselling."
Undesirable as it may be, relief is
a necessity and must be given to'
those unfortunates who find them-
selves in need. Very few, if any
will question that, but at the same
time there is a large proportion of
those who by thrift or otherwise
have made sure that they would not
be included among the "unfortun-
ates" that feel that relief cost must
be kept within reason—that the ne-
cessities of life be given to those
actually in need; but not in suffic-
ient quantity to make work unde-
sirable as a means of livelihood.
Haldimand Advocate.
GOOD -PENMANSHIP NEEDED
In general the public stands for
good schools, taught by competent
inlstructorss bub ,for lack of time
some essentials are sadly. neglected.
The teacher can only do a limited
amount and therefore some needed
studies are passed up. One of these
is penmanship. Inspectors', reports
indicate that this subject is neglect-
ed where teachers are not insistent.
There are pupils who unaided would
become good penman, but the ma-
jority need to be encouraged, or even
spurred • to their work. Some people
seem to glory in poor penmanship,
such as the case where a high school
teacher some years ago said: "No
well-educated man writes well" when
pupils had to ask him to interpret
his writing in the board. Such is
not the case today, however. Teach-
ers can do much in urging plain and
careful penmanship, but they need
the pride of the pupil for carrying
on. The scrawl will go far if the
hand that made it "has the goods"
but even then it should be readable.

"RELIEF FROM RELIEF"
During the )past] few weeks the
relief problem has again been con-
siderably in the limelight. Fallowing
his being chosen as leader of the
Conservative Party, the Hon. R. J.
Manion made the statement that all
relief should be paid for by the
Dominion Government, In -many lo-
calities, particularly the ]anger cen-
tres, this was greeted with great re-
jicing• as it meant "relief from
relief."
What would it, mean?"
Insofar as we can see, relieving
the various municipalities of paying
for "relief" and setting up a Govern-
ment body to look after the whole
question would be to start at the
wrong end. It would be one of the
surest ways possible of perpetuating
this undesirable necessity.
"Relief" is, in many of our larger
ENFORCING THE LAW
Much has been said of late weeks
around the Village regarding the en-
forcing of the By-laws which have
been passed from time to time. Some
are wont to laugh. at the by-laws, or
;are
before the eyes or t-rie powers
that be their utter disregard of the
by-laws. ' To us, sitting on the side
lines, the whole matter is rather
laughable.
(A representative body appearsrbe-
fore council with a petition for some
thing or another. After grave con-
sideration, the petition is granted
and a by-law passed in council, with
penalties attached for the violation
thereof.
Hardly had the ink become dry,
when the by-law is broken, deliber-
ately or not we are not prepared to
say. The transgressor laughs. Again
and again the by-law is violated, the
transgressors claiming the by-law
can not be enforced or pleading
exigency.
IBy-laws are patterned after the
'statute of the Dominion of Canada,
'and as such, in our estimation, are
'enforceable, ,and should be enforced.
Laws and by-laws are made solely
for the benefit of the masses, not
for one or more particular person.
But those who make the loudest
claire that the by-law should be en -
;forced are the ones who will not take
;the necessary steps to see that the
i by-laws are enforced. And that is
the laughable part of it all.—Tavi-
stock Gazette.
JUST LEARNING
When a car passed Provincial
Traffic Officer J. W. Callander on
No. 8 Highway, : near here Sunday,
and travelling at an excessive speed,
the constable thought it time to in-
vestigate. He found the car to be
travelling more than 70 m.p.h. and
at the wheel was a little lady who,
after a verbal skirmish with the of-
ficer, admitted to having no license.
As Constable Callander was ' taking
out his notebook preparatory to re-
cording the facts, a voice piped from
the back seat: "Brit you can't do any-
thing, officer; she's only 16 and just
learning to drive." Commented the
officer:"I wonder how fast she will
go after she has learned to drivel"

SHOT TWO WOLVES IN
HOLYR,OOD'AREA
Two of a pack of wolves that have
been molesting and killing sheep in
Kinloss Township for several weeks,
and at the same time 'successfully
eluding all effort to trackthem down
finally fell prey to marksmen's bal-
last last Friday morning.
The two, of a pack of five, were
shot by Harvey Scott and Gordon
Stanley of Ripley, who brought down'
their prey Friday morning, not long
after starting, out after them. They'
were shot on Dennis Kenny's farm
between the 0th and 8th concessions.'
One of the pair was a small grey-
ish colored animal, the other a red-
ish, yellow color with shaggy hair
and a long snout. His pelt was about
five feet long. Shotguns were used
and several shots were necessary to
drop the smaller one. The larger
of the pair, was quite close to Har-
µey Scott when shots* and showed
signs of preparing to attack the
gunman.
'
If the animals prove to be wolves,
a fifteen dollar bounty will be paid
by the Government on each of them, 1

BASS. SWALLOWS SNAKES
George James, young Conestogo
fisherman, caught a black bass near
the Grand River bridge recently, and
on cutting it open was surprised to
find, a copper shake of about 1.3
inches and three smaller pnes which
the fish had gobbled up. The rettiles
were dead, bat of .perfect shape, net
yet being used up by the digestive
organs of the 12 -inch bass.
LUCK OF THE
MOUNTIES
By Sewell Peaslee Wright.
"There's a legend of heroism
which surrounds us," said Corporal
Clint Waring, of the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police. All this . "
The words, were hardly out of his,
mouth when little Mich, my dead
dog, started barking. Mich can scent
a strange team a mile away if the
wind's right
A second later the rest 01 e dogs
took it up; and I had to yell out the
back door to, make them quiet down.
I don't mind the barking of dogs 'so
much, but I never did care much for
the howl of a husky, and Clint had
five of then back there,
,Clint was looking through a clear
place in the window nearest the stove
when I came back.
"Somebody's; coming wide out,"
he commented. "Looks like they're
in a hurry."
"Probably some Indian showing off
his dogs," I said casually. "You
know how they are." I hoped he'd
go on with what he'd been talking
about, but • I knew better than to
ask a direct question.
I hadn't worked under the big
red flag with the white block let-
ters "H. B. C."—"Hungry but. Cheer-
ful", we used to say, those letters
stood for for fifteen years without
learning that a Red Coat closes up
like a clam if you act curious about
the Service, but will talk about it
by the hour if you just let him ram-
ble. Corporal ,Clint Waring was no
exception.
"Sure," nodded Clint, sitting down
by the stove. "They're all show-off
. , especially the young bucks. I
—what were we talking about?"
Legendary Heroism
"You were just saying that you
Red Coats got a lot of credit you
didn't deserve," I said, putting it
rather strongly, to get him started
off again.
"I'd hate to have you for a wit-
ness, Mac", Clint said, shaking his
head. "You never get anything
right. All I said was that there's
a sort of legendary heroism which
surrounds the Service like a halo;
all this 'Never -fire -first', 'always -
get -your -man sort of thing."
"Treason!" I chuckled.
"No. such thing. We do the best
we can. But that doesn't mean we
don't get the wind rip, and go off
the deep end on occasion, A red
tunic is a deuce of a long way from
being a bullet-proof: vest, you know,
and being in the Service doesn't
make life any less sweet. Not much
less, anyway," he added as an after-
thought.
The dogs were scrambling up the
trail from the lake, and I went to
the door. The factor of a Hudson
Bay post welcomes all visitors; the
Great Company has as many tradi-
tions as the Mounted, more, maybe.
He's Bushed
But it wasn't a customer who had
driven that panting team so fast; it
was Ed. Summers' boy; Bub, Ed.
called him. About twelve—I'd say.
Bub was crying and shaking so
he eould hardly talk, but it didn't
take me long to figure out what had
happened, knowing Ed. and his ways
as well as I did.
"Job for you, Clint," I said, lead-
ing the youngster inside where it
was warm. "You know Ed. Sum-
mers?"
No; I've heard of him, though.
What's the trouble?"
"Bushed, I guess — complicated
