ARING GLASSES -
g. B.Alexander, a trustee and
of the organization depart -
of' the American Optometric As-
,lQua says that more than 40,-
0,0b0 Persons in the tinted States
Sax glasses.
course,• there are not that many
people in Canada, but we venture to
,may that in proportion to population,
there are as many people in Canada
Wearing glasses as there are in the
•
Prated States.
And the number seems to be in-
creasing with the years. One out of
every ten, or perhaps a greater pro-
portion, of the people one meets on
the streets of any town or city, wear
glasses.
Wearing glasses used to be the
prerogative of the, old. To -day the
greater proportion of people who wear
glasses are of the younger generation,
children in the teen age and many.
younger.
In olden days one pair of glasses
did duty for a whole household, and
often more than that. Now it is not
uncommon for every member of a
household to wear them, and .there
are, few households where some mem-
ber is not a constant wearer of glass-
es.
One would ,think that the days of
candle light would have been (far
more ruinous to ..the eyesight than
these days of i electric light and mod-
ern lighting systems.
But, apparently, the reverse has
been the case. Probably, if the peo-
ple of the candle days had used their
eyes in candle light as much as we
use ours at night in these days, glass
es would have been a more familiar
sight than they used to be.
They didn't, however, and there are
several very good reasons why they
did not. In the first place, they didn't
have the money in those early days
to outfit every member of the family
with glasses. They did not possess
the wealth of reading material that
we have to -day, and they would not
have had the time to give to it if they
had possessed it. With them dark-
ness brought bed time and the time to
rest.
To -day we turn night time into day-
time, both in our homes and on our
streets, and as a consequence the
eyes, especially of the younger gen•
eration, do not get the rest that na-
ture demands and, a$ a consequence
we require four eyes' instead of two.
Our so called modern civilization is
a wonderful thing in our eyes, but
when modern civilization gets! into
conflict with natuee, something has to
give way, and that something is nev-
er nature.

that if lie ever lives to get his feet

The opportunity of working on the
trans -Canada highway this winter will
prove a God send to thousands of un-
employed men, but it will be no para-
dise, and the boy or the man from
the country, who thinks otherwise, is
in for rude and unkind awakening.

NOT ANY MORE ENTICING
THAN IT LOOKS
Announcement was made on Wed-
nesday that men employed on the
trans -Canada highway will live in
camps operated on a cost basis with-
out profit, will receive thirty cents an
hour for an eight hour day, from
which will be deducted eighty cents a
day for board and fifty cents a month
for medical services.
From an unemployment standpoint
that is a very liberal, even generous
offer. Any unemployed single man,
who is not prepared to accept that of-
fer for winter employment, does not
deserve any further consideration at
the hands of the Canadian Govern-
ment or the Canadian taxpayer.
But there are other single men,
boys and young men on the farms,
who are casting longing eyes on this
New Ontario project. They are not
unemployed unless they want to be,
but they don't think they are getting
enough money for their services at
home.
Three dollars for an sight hour day
looks big to them at this distance.
They don't know and, don't weigh the
living, working and weather condi-
tions under which they will be em-
ployed in the north. I•t is the dollars
alone that stand out, the only thing
they can see.
Distant fields ever looked green. It
Was so in war time. Going overseas
was a great adventure, and so it was.
It was what came after that caused
the heart break'.
It is so in this case. The boy who
can work at home on the farm for his
board' and a little spending money, or
the boy who can get work with a
neighbor or on a farm in the district
for seventy -dive cents a day and his
board will be incomparably better off
than he would be this winter in work -
frig ort the trans -Canada highways in
Northern Ontaii6, at three dollars a
day, Minus his board and medical at-
tentioil.

of easy money and short hours, in his
