the trees that come in contact

and raising up the settled spots.

Today, going on relief, or
welfare, doesn't seem to bother
many people. In fact, for many
it is a way of life and they feel
no opprobrium or discomfort.
Their attitude is that the world
owes them a living, no matter
how stupid or useless or lazy they
are.
But it's the proud ones who are
hurt. A friend of mine was a
production manager, working in
a big industry. He was a good
one, Suddenly, his job didn't
exist. He's tried with all his
energy for months to find some-
thing. There's nothing. He's
bitter.
Last week I got a leter from a
chap who is desperate. He's
sixty, was laid off from a resp-
onsible job in industry, has used
up his unemployment insurance
and savings, and doesn't know
where to turn. He wants a job
but knows the odds against him.
Other countries, including
those with almost no natural re-
sources, are flourishing. Canada,
with massic natural resources, is
withering on the vine. How
come?
Perhaps the root of the prob-
lem is that our leaders are talk-
ing out of both sides of their
mouths at once. One side spouts
free enterprise, the other social-
ism.
And we are left with one foot
in the boat and the other on
shore, as the boat drifts quietly
away from the land. It's becom-
ing an acutely uncomfortable
position, and somebody else is
going to be acutely uncomfort-
able, in the near future, if
somebody doesn't grab an oar.

CARE THAT MONEY
CAN'T BUY...
YOU GET IT WITH
SHUR-GAIN SERVICE.
Good service is just a little more than carrying
out a job. It's the little extra care going into
the service that really counts ... the second
look at an order ... a re -check on a load, an
extra phone call to make sure something is
O.K.... things like that.
It doesn't mean we won't make mistakes. We
probably will. It does mean we feel badly
when a mistake is made and it also means
that care is taken that it won't happen again.
That's the kind of care we pledge to give you
and all our customers.
You get it with every order of Shur -Gain.
