The Huron Expositor, 1931-09-18, Page 4z -41P q- , (4. aiee. 't • • 4‘; 'PH Friday, September 18th. ete HER PUBLISHER PASSES bn Weld, general manager of The arms Advocate, died at his home in London on Tuesday, following a collapse caused by the heat of the previous Friday. Mk. Weld was a pioneer business man of Landon, and one who render- ed much service in the upbuilciing and advancement of that city to its pres- ent status. He had many' financial interests in Louden and throughout Ontario, be- side The Farmers Advocate, but his chief interests through a king life were agriculture and the farm, and as an agriculturalist he was known from coast to coast. The Farmer's Advocate is one of the oldest, dependable and mos e ably edited farm journals in Canada, end through its eolumns and experiments at Wellwood Farm, near London, Mr. Weld had! figured largely in the ,ad- vat:cement of Canadian agriculture. ••",... • and when it efielidu the,DeeRlei 016Per in bidding against the labor neede of the people themselves, it i not going to help very much in the promoticm of good. tirAeSi nor do much to cure, unemployment either. In all the talko,unemployment re- lief, and all the millions that leve been and will be spent upon it, no aggeotion has yet been put forward that much unemployment could, be re- lieved and at the same time agricul- torsi lands immensely improved,, and agriculture itself immensely benefit- ted, by diverting some of these mil - hens of dollars back to the farms and the farmers who furnish it. THINKS PAY TOO GENEROUS In speaking of the Government work on the trans -continental high- way, which it is hoped, if not expect- ed, will 11 underway shortly, in order to make provision for tsome of, our unemployed, the Farmer's Advocate says: "While approving the work pro- gramme in principle, the Advocate feels that a mistake has been made in the amount of pay or in its distribu- tion. Thirty cents per hour is indeed generous, especially to men who are out of work, and, in some cases, have no home or shelter. Farmers are al- ready noticing the result of this competition in the labor market; and they are fearful lest a majority of the single men throughout the Prov- ince will be difficult men to hire next spring after a winter of generous pay and free entertainment." Like the Advocate, The Expositor believes that every means within rea- san should be used to relieve the un- employment situation, but at the same time, we believe that some of the Gov- ernment, means to this end, are open to qaestion. And, as we have stated before, the trans -continental highway, and the terms under which it is proposed to be built, is one of thern. Farmers may be well justified in the fear that the rate of pay for this unemployment Government 'Work will play havoc with the labor on the farm. No farmer can afford to pay three dollars for an eight hour day's work on the farm. It has been dorie, but even in boom times, when farm prices were at the peak, few fermiers could afford to hire a man at that price Tor more than a day or two at a time. A Government, or any other cor- poration, that offers such wages, is setting a wage standard for the whole country, and the farmer can not com- pete in such a labor market. If a farmer can not pay such a wage in good eines, hbw is he going to meet it when his income has been cut fifty per cent. as it is to -day? It is all right to say that, farmers are not in the labor,market during the winter. Perhaps to a great extent they are not. But, if farmers are al- ready noticing the result of this com- petition, what are they ping to be up against next seed time and harvest? Farmer,s have already had some ex- perience with unemployment labor (hiring this summer. Some of it was good, more of it was bad, but none of It was stationary. With this experi- ence behind them, ism't it reasonable for farmers to fear that these men who are employed on Government aid work, will be rather difficult to hire next spring? Weather conditions in the north country, where the transcontinental road is to be built, will be none too good, and the work will be rough. The men will be -well housed, and in all probability, well fed and possibly well entertained. But they will have little or no chane tel spend their earnings and when they come out in the spring, they will carry their accumulated wages with them. Under such conditions, isn't it rea- - sonable to suppose that the majority of these men, after having spent a winter in the wilderness, will be anxious to talti a holiday and having Mickley in their poekets,, are, they like- ly toforego that holiday and seek Work irt the country for much less Monett thane the Governinlent paid there' .

The remarks from the Library and Literature Secreta're, Miss B. Mac - Ewan, .of Goderich, were bright and to the point. Many members visited her table, where her books were dieptti- ed at the noon ho•ur. The roll call of auxiliaries, Y. W. Societies, C. G. L T. Groups and Mis- sion Bands were responded to by a member from each society, and cre- ated much -interest and applause. Miss Jeckell gave a very coneise and instructive account of the Bien- nial Council meeting in' Winnipeg. 'Her description of the Vesper Service in old Kildonen Church and, heaeariimat- ed telling of the closing worlies,of Mee. Daniel Strachan at that meeting, left with the audience a vivid picture -not sooh to be forgotten, and aroused: a keen desire to' go on to greater achievements in the missionary enter - prizes. It was the general feeling that in securing Miss Jeckell as presi- deet ,the excellent work of the pre- ceding .presidents would be 'carried on by a capable and efficient leader. Rev. J. B.

The afternoon session opened at two o'clock, the devotional service be- ing conducted by the Goderich Arthur Circle. miss Laura Pelton.

She caught and held the attention of her audience •for everyone felt she was giving expression to ideas on a sub- ject she thoroughly ,.understood anti had made her own. She showed clear- ly how much had been accomplished through missionary enterprise in solving the many problems arising from the incoming of people of differ- ent nations and convinced her listen- ers that only through knowing and 'iaire: Christ could the problems con- fronting the world today be eliminat- ed., Miss Margaret Grieve brought a eery descriptive report of the work of the three camps at Kintail this sum- mer.
