Does going to church improve
your golf score? Do you put
the good side out or in when
you build a fence on your prop-
erty? How many people attend
evening service at church?
Why do women live longer than
men?
I don't know how you spend
Sunday. these fine spring days,
but I got the answer to these
., questions, and a few others.

ing, and was early, for once.
It was twenty to eleven when
I arrived, and it's usually eigh-
teen minutes lather than that.
The reason was that I was on
hand to teach Bible Class, which
begins at quarter to 10. You
guessed it. The Smileys for
about the tenth year in a row,
had forgotten to join the swing
to Daylight Saving time.
Took advantage of the extra
time to line up golf game with
fellow pillar of congregation,
Answer to question 1: No. I
can't understand it, but going
to church doesn't improve your
golf. This other good Anglican
and I took on a couple of Pres-
byterians who admitted they'd
missed morning service. They
licked us. Badly.
Home at 4 p.m, Sat in chair
in sun in yard, licking golf
wounds.
Wife appears. Glares around
yard. Looks meanly at me,
then at half•raked leaves, half-
baked dog who messes every-
where,
verywhere, cat who climbs screen
on kitchen door and ruins it,
huge branch off oak tree lying
across flower beds, fence lean-
ing towards us at 45 degrees.
She tells me we've got to
have a new fence, It'll cost
hundreds of dollars. I produce
a diversion. Ask her wether
we'll put good side of fence in
or out. I suggest out. She
says no. I say everybody does.
She says I'm crazy. I say, calm-
ly, she ridiculous.
Leap in car to inspect fences
all over town. Some face in,
others out. Nobody will give
in. She gets sore. I give in.
But I'nm telling you right here,
answer to question 2: Depends
on whether you want to look at
the nice side of your fence, or
want your neighbors to see it.
Urgent call during dinner.
Sidesman needed for evening
service. Can't think quickly.
Agree reluctantly. Get to
church. Not a pillar in sight.
Not a sinner. Not a choir mem-
ber. Three altar boys, rector
on the job. Congregation is
me. Got the works, including
sermon. Answer to question 3.
But rector told a good story
later. One elderly cattle farm-
er turned up, once, for evening

service: Preacher said, kindly,
"Since you're the only one here,
perhaps we'll dispense with the
sermon."
Farmer says, "Well, if I load-
ed the whole wagon with feed,
and only one old cow turned up,
agreed it was good logic, Went
through entire service, includ-
ing one-hour sermon.
When it ended, be asked the
farmer what he thought. Latter
replied, "Well, if I loaded the
whole wagon with feed, and
only old cow turned up to be
fed, I don't think I'd dump the
whole wagon in front of her."
And the answer to the last
question? Why do women live
longer than men, 'Taint orig-
inal, but I like it. "Because they
don't have wives."
ONTARIO
PROVINCE OF OPPORTUNITY
Minimum Wage
xtended Throu hout Ontario
Last year, Minimum Wage legislation was introduced
in the Toronto -Hamilton -Oshawa industrial area.
It proved highly successful, and as a result, I am
pleased to announce an early extension of it
throughout the entire Province beginning on June 29.
I ask you now to read the following highlights
Reduced to its simplest terms, the new Minimum Wage
Orders, implemented and enforced by your Ontario
Department of Labour, are designed to protect every
working man and woman in the Province from exploita-
tion, and set a minimum wage of $1,00 an hour ($1.25 in
the construction industry).
The Orders, now in effect in the Toronto -Hamilton -
Oshawa "horseshoe", will be extended throughout the
carefully to establish exactly how this vital and
progressive piece of legislation will benefit you.
M
entire Province on June 29. However, so that employers
will have sufficient time to adjust to and absorb the
higher rates, the Orders must be carried out in stages.
Briefly, here's how your Ontario Department of
Labour plans to go about it. The Province will be di-
vided into two Zones. Zone 1 takes in the more heavily
populated and industrialized areas and centres. In this
Zone, the $1.00 Minimum Wage will be achieved not
HON. H. L. ROWNTREE, Q.C.
Minister of Labour
later than March of next year. In Zone 2, covering the
remainder of the Province, the wage will be achieved by
December of next year.
3n the Construction Industry, the Minimum Wage of
$1.25 an hour will be reached in the same manner in
both Zones.
The map and salary boxes on this page show the two
zones, and the salary increases scheduled in both.

EIMIPL.OYERS NOPE
Where employees are being paid on a piece -work
basis, if at Least four-fifths of them are earning at
least the minimum wage, you will be considered as
complying with the Orders.
Learner Rates are as follows: Where employees are
on a piece -work basis, Iearners may be paid 200
less than the prescribed minimum rate for the first
three months of employment, and 10¢ less for the
second three months. In all other cases, learners
may be paid 100 less than the prescribed minimum
for first four months of employment. The Hotel and
Restaurant Order establishes a special learner rate
100 lower than the prescribed minimum rate for the
first month of employment.
