One of these is that there be no Sunday work at all. Should the factory be rushed with orders, should they force machinery breakdowns that would cause them ; be unable to meet deadlines, or should any conditions develop that would require overtime work, such overtime should not be carried out on Sundays. These employees insist that they be not required to work on Sundays regardless of the necessity or what extra pay they might re- ceive—,just absolutely no work on the Sabbath. Most people, as we do, realize that this: demand that there be no Sunday work is not based upon religious reasons. These employees are not all concerned about being unable to at- tend church or Sunday school be- cause of Sabbath overtime work. They are not so naive as to attempt to make the public believe such an excuse for their demand. They want a clear five-day week at all times re- gardless of how this might affect the efficient operation of the plant in which they earn their living. If this group of more than a thous- and employees believe that it is un- fair to demand that they, on occa- sion. be required to work on Sunday, then by the same point of view why should anyone be required to work on Sunday? Just consider this question for a few moments. Unless a large num- ber of people worked on Sundays there would not be any radio or tele - ZURICH CITIZONS. NEWS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1961 vision programs. Unless thousands upon thousands of thousands of peo- ple worked on Sunday there would be no ball games, no hockey games or sports of any kind; there would not be any theatres open; there would not be any service stations open to supply gas and oil for mo- torists. If other people demanded that there be no work on Sundays, hydro operators would not be on duty and there would not be any elec- tricity. It waterworks operators re- fused to work on Sunday, there would b:; no water in the homes. We could go on and on in this manner. What in the name of common sense would the employees of the Toronto plant do on Sundays if every other worker demanded that they not have to work on the Sabbath? They sim- ply would not be able to do a single thing. We opine that these very same nien would be the first to yell to high heaven if they could not watch TV on Sunday, or play golf; or drive their cars or do any of the many things they do now on Sunday. It is such self-centred, selfish, stupid, senseless and scurrilous demands as this that cause some labor unions to lose public sympathy and support. This demand for absolutely no Sun- day work places this group in the position that they do not deserve any toleration whatsoever. Although we doubt they would do so, about the only thing these men could do on Sunday, if there was no Sunday work at all, would be to at- tend church. After all the only peo- ple who would be working Sunday would be the preachers because they are always working to beat hell.— (Doug Young, in the Kincardine Veli-). Ha:a;py Birthday!

Modern day version of the same adage is, "Oh, what troubles we preceive when first we dare to he honest". Ever notice how few of the things we accept today are honest, 100 per cent, 'true blue? Most are imitation or artificial; similated •or copied. From the orange juice we drink in the morning to the pearls we wear for evening, most of the lux- uries and some of the necessi- ties are just pretence of the genuine thing. You think I'm. joshing. Con- sider these familiar falacies and then tell me I've broasted bottle caps for brains. The mat onto which I throw niy feet each morning looks like wool carpeting, feels like wool carpeting but is actually a man-made concoction of syn- thetic yarns which sell for twice the price they should (but still half the price of the real thing). My silk bathrobe isn't; my na- tural curls aren't; my full bosom wasn't. I've softened the water I wash with, and poly unsatur- ated the oil I cook with. My cereal is artifically sweetened, my bread is artificially whit- ened, my jam is artifically colored, my coffee is artifically creamed. It is getting so it isn't much fun to have the real thing, be- cause the pretend product is more practical, less cumber- some, much prettier and a heck of a lot cheaper. Mink is still a status smybol, but for a fraction of the cost milady can look elegant in manufactured Persian lamb. A girl's best friend, diamonds will always be, but when she hasn't the price, brilliant rhinestones can fool the most discerning lady and dazzle the most illu- sive male. The mark of the well dressed woman, may be fine leather, but all that is brown and bumpy is not alli- gator. Plastic and paper are more useful than electricity. I know women who claim they couldn't keep house without plastic bags, melmac dishes, paper, towels and a box of tissues. Babies must have been very wet and soggy creatures before plastic panties, and children of all ages must have been exasperat- ing for mother who hadn't disposable lunch bags, handker- By Shirley Keller chiefs, diapers and plates.

With contact lenses, elevated shoes, false eye lashes, hairpieces, girdles, screw-in teeth and paste -on moles, one can't be sure what it is until it is st home with the wrappings off! We can find much consola tion in the fairy-tale existence we lead. There is no reason for anyone to be burdened with work, weighed down by an in- feriority complex, lacking in. prestige, wanting for a bit of loveliness in living.

The board was told that more than 40 of Canada's TV stations would be wiped out if they granted this request. If it is approved it will mean the collapse of one of the pres- ent networks, probably CTV. Since the CBC is subsidized by the Government of Canada, they would continue operations. There tare three networks in the United States, and one of them, ABC, has always suffered in several different ways. Many of the shows that are having rating trouble are ABC pro- grams. At the hearing NTV was at- tacked by small, independently - owned stations—and to some ex- tent, by the CBC as well as by CTV. NTV plans are to have its four basic stations operating by 1972 in Toronto, •Montreal, Van- couver and Ottawa. They would take in approxi- mately 16 million dollars, which is more than the total revenue of the 41 smallest stations in Canada. NTV says that if there are more television outlets, adver- tisers will spend more money (Continued on page 7) Choose from our wide selection of LAMPS Pole Lamps • Swags • Trilites • GIFTWARE • Hand -cut Triliums • Leadeut Crystal • China and Glassware SEE OUR .. .
