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. +?ether and mother kept the beat board- ing tones in the world.

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. DUBLIN Miss Bernice McGrath, Detroit, is holidaying at the home of her father. Mr. Joseph McGrath. Mrs. Nagle, Stratford, called on friends during the week. :Master. Kingsley Beale, of Strat- ford, spent a week at the home of his grandmother, Mrs. E. Beale.. • Miss Ella Prendergast and Dr. L. Prendergast, of Chicego, were visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs, James Shea. Mr. and Mrs. N. Hennessey, of To- ronto, were week end visitors with Mr. and Mrs. J. Flanagan.

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. No bots, of cotrrse, with the glitter of easy money and short hours, in his ey'ee, 'ev`i'l believe that.
