Did you hear this little item in
the news last week? An old gen-
tleman, celebrating his 109th birth-
day was asked what he thought
had been the most wonderful in-
vention during his lifetime. His an-
swer was -the refrigerator! "Be-
cause," he said, "you can buy any
food you like and can take care
of it after you've got it." That
amused me because some women
have to be pretty good at the art
of convincing before the average
man will admit the advantages of a
refrigerator make it worth the
money it costs. And that is under-
standable, too, because it. isn't the
.man of the house who has to run
up and down the cellar stairs with
the butter, and the milk, and the
little bit of meat Which you hope
will keep all right until tomorrow.
But wouldn't it be too bad' if the
average Man had to live to be over
a hundred before attaining . that
much Wisdom? Fortunately the
light usually dawns a little earlier
than that . . and then again.
sometimes it doesn't dawn at all!
. Did you also hear of the co-
operative enterprise among a group
of home -builders who have become
tired of the high cost of construc-
tion and have decided to form .a •
little company of their own and
build their own houses, doing the
work between them? That sounds
like a good solution to our skilled
labour problem, and applies to more
than building •houses. The same
principle is working all right here
just now as my menfolk are pretty
busy doing a jobon the driving
shed for which they have tried to
get a carpenter for over a year. As
for eavestroughing at the barn -
that job has been hanging fire for
nearly three years. Could be that
when skilled labour has caught up
with its waiting list -and has also
become a little less independent -
maybe it will find that a number of
potential good customers have
learned to do quite a lot of this
extra work for themselves.
A few years ago a discussion
often arose as to whether it was

Courageous Scout -Scout Don Lee, 18, who has' had no legs•
since he was nine months old, beams with pride as his foster
mother pins an Eagle Scout badge on his chest. The youth,„
who lost both legs in an accident 17 years ago, completed all
the tough physical requirements for the badge, including a
14 -mile hike. Don is saving his money for the trip to the next
- Scout jamboree.
better policy .to tackle a job which
was outside a person's ordinary line
of work or hire a person to do it
who had been trained for the job.
The idea steadily gained- ground
that it was better economy to hire
an experienced person to do the
job. And it sounds logical. Why
should a man try to fix his car
when. there are mechanics to do
it? Or a farmer spend days, per-
haps, trying to uproot a tree that
a bulldozer could move in fifteen
minutes? Or a woman do her own
paper -hanging when there are ex-
perts for the job? But that isn't the
way our pioneers worked. In those
days, necessity drove a man to be
a jack-of-all-trades and the only
time he called for help was when a
job was too big for him to handle
alone. Then a community bee was
the obvious answer.
But we have lost that indepen-
dence, and now we are paying the
price. On every, side bhe hue and
cry goes up -"We can't do this or
that because we can't get help, there
isn't a carpenter or plasterer avail-
able for months ahead, Sure, they
promise to come but that's as far
as it goes."
So I was glad when Is heard'. that •
significant little news item about
these men getting together to build
their own homes; and I was glad
when Partner and Bob took over
this driving shed job themselves
Actually, for that, this grand mild
fall is responsible. Until the field
work was done big repair jobs had
to wait. So it was the time element
that made our men feel a carpen-
ter was necessary -not unwilling-
ness or lack of inihiat,ve. And l
suppose that is true of many farms,
and the main reason why a lot of
farm buildings are in need of re-
pair. The field work has to be at •
-
tended to first. However, I am still
not anxious to see my menfolk put
eavestroughing on the barn. A bro-
ken neck would be mare expensive
than a plumber's big.
Tlie same applies to women and
paper -hanging - or at least for
those who have lost the agility to
balance themselves on a step -lad-
der while wrestling with a contrary
piece of ceiling paper, There are
limitations -and there are also other
jobs to do that help keep down
the high cost of living. You don't
have to risk breaking your neck
to snake your own aprons and house
dresses, nor to do your own bak-
ing. And where there are childree

ally cut in half by mothers making

A little pair of pants for the wee
boy; a play suit or a pretty frock for
sister, can be made for next to
nothing and ' will outwear any
ready-made garment bought from
a store, Not only that, whether
what you snake or repair is a chick-

is also gained -a sense of achieve-
ment, that inner sense of satisfac-
tion that comes with a job well
done. You can't buy it -you- can
only earn it.
