CHURCH ENTHUSIASM Where do you suppose all the en- thusiasm for church work hides itself between the time of the Fowl Supper and of the Garden Party and then between the time of the Garden Par- ty and of the Fowl Supper; We sup- pose it just lies dormant. If we could just have all that :willingness to help, in the Sunday school and church work all the year round bus there is room for two or three more. Now that conditions, in general are on the up -grade wouldn't pit be nice if church attendance would pick up as well.—Harriston Relview. HUMAN NATURE IS, QUEER Human nature takes queer spasms. ('tor a white we did our utmost to ferret out all and singular who were not well fed and well clad and all the rest of the things that make for com- fort, Indeed we regarded ourselves as in the hero class when we found anyone who was willing to take sweet charity„ And a whole lot of our work in this line was meritor- ious. But we found, after a eouple of years, that we had a large class of people who said, "Why should we worry when others get fat on caring for us?" Next we found that we could not pay the bills incurred by our beneficence. Meanwhile we had developed a class that didn't have it in them in any way to do a real day's work. Next we turned out on the street the whole caboodle of those we had : rendered incompetent by our well -meant but misguided ac- tivities se well as those who are most rightfully the wards of the public. Its a great game. •-EEketer Times -Advocate. ARE MORALS WORSE? The rapidity with which one racket after another is being uncovered makes one feel that most of them are new, and things are becoming worse. But it is rather because of ,increasing education that one after another, old rackets are being brought to light. Not long ago a man who used to sell tickets for a aliens+ in, the long ago said that he used to pay twenty, thirty and even mere for the privil- ege of selling tickets, and "short changing" the buyers. He also said the rights to operate were- sold to professional pickpockets—in the old days—Listowel Standard. >v ti..wm.v■ti . r■•■w.w.w■wtir!.v■• .w..wor rr ov.,..06.1p' ti YOUR WORLD AND MINE o ' ie by JOHN C.

Yet many of ue, I fear, curse our employers and would floe happy to see misfortune ;overtake them. We are angry that they make more money than we do, and we are prone to say that they underpay us,, that they do not promote us rapidly enough, that they treat us as if we were slaves. Many of us are ready to "strike" if and when :our employers refuse our demands on them; and if our employ- ers shut up shop, thus throwing us out of employment, then we rage and may even become violent. Now, I hold no brief for heartless and greedy employers. And any em- ployer who exploits his employees; who regards them as machines, who is unconcerned about their welfare, happiness, content and comfort; and who unwarrantably underpays has workers, ,should, in nay judgment, be prevented by law from continuing his bad practices. But I do want to say that many of us who are employees ought to be grateful that there are those whose enterprise, spirit, capi- tal and amlbition make theta employ- era., mployers. What would most sic us do if there were no empoyers? In such ease we would have to make jobs for oursel- ves, and this most of us cannot do. Look at the hundreds of thousands of men on relief. They—most of them —do absolutely nothing to create jobs or employment for themselves. They just collcpse--bbecomle utterly limp, They have not a particle of initiative. They half -welcome idleness, so long as the state, or the province, or the municipality provides them and those dependent on them wrth enough food to sustain life, and to assure them shelter and clothing. And of course the great majority of these unem- ployed and unemployable men deter- idrate fast in mind, spirit and body. Their tendency is to become lawless —to rail against society and employ- ers, and even against the state, Perhaps we ought not to condemn people whom adversity and unem- ployment here conquered and almost destroyed. All of us ate Iargely de- pendent for our character's quality and the quality of our mind on those who brought us into the world, who guided our childhood, who taught us; and if these persons were unfaithful to their responsibilities, then it is not to be wondered at if we, their children and pupils, grew up with flabby characters and foolish minds. When a man is down and out; when his mind is terribly sick; when despair is in his heart; and when the outlook is black as the inside of a cave, it is both unkind and hopeless to preach to him about the virtues of thrift, courage, enterprise, hope. To do this would be like counselling a drowning man to learn to swim. And so in this contribution to The News -Record I am not addressing myself to the unemployed, but to the employed, and my chief message to them is, Be very grateful that there are those in this world who aro em- ployers—and capitalists, if you pets ceive, that the ability to employ men and women is inseparably related to the possession of capital. Most of us in employment have a very defective understanding of the problems and anxieties of those who employ us. Their big job is to con- serve their capitalto safeguard it against depletion. Their capital is always at risk. During recent years it has been almost •impossible for many is firm to make a profit; most have suffered grievous losses. Pos- sibly many firms made a lamentabo error in expanding their businesses during the lush years preceding 1929; but aro there not millions of private perslons who gambled in those pre- vious 1929 years, only to discover when the smash came that they sin- ned sadly against judgment and precept? It is human to, make mis- takes; and if we make mistakes, should we not have both the courage and the grace to endure the punish- ments visited on as for our errers? Did we not bet against the world? and if the world won the bet, and if we lost, should we grouse? 'Should any gambler weep and despair, when he loses? Few of us would be willing to change places with our employers these tunes—and to°ca'r`ry their aux= ieties, And if we were in their place, HAYFIELD (Crowded out last week) Miss Margaret Groves of the local Post Office staff left on Saturday on her 'vacation.

A YEAR'S LOCAL OPTION VOTING In the twelve months ending Aug- ust 31, 1935, 55 municipalities in Ontario had local option votes. The drys have won in 36 and the wets in 19. Two of the votes concerned liquor stores, In these each side won one. In 39 places the wets attacked the existing local option law and won in 7. In 32 the drys maintained the local option law. In 14 _places the drys attacked ex- isting beverage rooms. In 3 they won with the required 60 per cent majority. In 11 the wets maintain- ed their ground, but in 8 of these the dry vote was in the majority but fell below 60 per cent, In 3 places only of the 14 with existing beverage rooms did the majority of the voters desire to continue them. Of 'the total vote on beverage rooms in the 53 municipalities (leaving aside the contests on stores) 55.9 per cent was dry.—J, A, Irwin, Gen. Sec, Ont. Temperance Federation.

The comments were distinctly in favour of the Scouts. Other comments were that the Scouts "settled down" much more quickly than the soldiers and that they ate "half as much a - gam." 4U -BURN (Crowded outlast week) Title anniversary siervnices ot! data:.

LEADING PAINT MANUEACTU '' ERS ANNOUNCE PRICE RDUCTI N First Quality House Paint Now 3.7:; per gallon $1 per quart The Quality Remains Exactly The Same. Dating front to -day, the price of first quality house paints manufactured and sold by the undersigned companies is reduced from $4.65 to $3.75 per gallon. There hes been no change in market condi- tions or manufacturing costa to justify tbia step. We feel, however, there is urgent need for action that will make it possible for house• holders to obtain the highest quality paints at the lowest price consistent with strict `main. tenancc of quality. Only The Price Is Changed. Thousands of people all over the country have been forced to put off much needed paint- ing. Thousands more have been misled by- "bargain" y"bargain" prices into using inferior paint of little or no value. We want to make it easier for you to enjoy the advantages of painting with first quality paint only, and are confident that the generous reduction in price now announced is the best way to accomplish this.
