Township council motions, as a rule, do not contain much of interest to the general public, as they are chiefly concerned with matters per- taining to the particular municipality the council has been chosen to re- present. This week, however, several daily papers made reference to a motion recently passed by a township coun- cil, that is unique in its way and might, with profit, be given some consideration by other rural councils and municipalities. This was a resolution recently pass- ed by the council of West Luther in which that council expressed the wish that the ratepayers of the township observe every Saturday afternoon as a public holiday during the month of June and on the first two Satur- days of 'July during the year. '• 'In addition to the wish expressed by the council was, a suggestion that games and sports 'be held on these Saturday afternoons at .centres that would be convenient for the ratepay- ers of the municipality. Well, why not? Most villages an..l all towns . have pretty much come to the conclusion that a 'mid -week hal: holiday has become, if 'not and'is- pensi'ble, at least, a very good thing, and they take one. Wednesday afternoon seems to be .the popular choice of the majority of the towns and villages, with a few favoring Thursday. But the point is they all take a mid -week holiday. Farmers, of course, could not very well break into their . week's work in the summer, by taking • a half day on Wednesday or Thursday,'bilft they could very easily take Saturday "afternoon off, which would only be adding a little to their -wee end rest from work. (Mast faamers, at first glance, would wont:the idea of a weekly half holi• days` They haven't the time: At same time there are very few weeks in the ..year that there isn't a half day when a farmer doesn't take what a town or city man would call a holi- day. That is unless conversation over the phone 'or over the fence, or a ride -to town er a ride or a drive to a neighbors comes under the heading of work. Very often •Several members of one family will .spend different parts of different days away from the farm. Sometimes necessity causes this ab- sence. Very often it does not. .Why not combine these various ex- cursions of various families into one real holiday for the whole community to be taken together on' one day to one place? More, work and perhaps better work would be; done on the farm during the weekif the boys and the girls and the .older people too, had some- thing to look forward to, some plea- sure to anticipate at its end. It' might also lead to more real rest being enjoyed on the Sabbath, if the younger ones had an opportunity en Saturday to ramble and to blow off steam. As we say, rnany farmers would scout such an idea as madness. But is it? Might not there prove to be a method in such madness? The .farmer has. always acted as an individual and a self-contained one. That 'has not been good for the farm- er, nor has it been, nor will it ever be good for the farm or the cause of !'agriculture. The mere fact of the people of a township getting close enough to- gether to organize a weekly half holi- day for themselves, might lead to . ,+snore and greater things in the way of organization. And, if there is any labor, any in- dustry or any profession that has suffered macre in (thepast, or is suf- fering more atthe present time, through lack of .et together and or- ganization, than agriculture is, we would like to 'ha a it pointed out to Us. • ,:,• Bring it up at the next council meeting, • -boys. , • It 'might point out the road to greater prosperity as well as to greater pleasure. .
