Beware Of
Wheelbarrows
(By Bruce Hutchison in Winnipeg -
Free Press)
•
The editors of The New York'
Times .have descended from their
Olympian heights to push a wheelbar-
row through their editorial columns.
This should not deceive us. It is easy
writeaprosepoemon theditor
to e
ial page about the beauties and Vir-
tues of a wheelbarrow in the summer
gardening season. The Times editor-
ial page seldom contained anything
more whimsical. But how many edi-
tors have actually pushed the wretch-
ed thing?
There is the essential falsity in
nearly all the garden writing of our
time. It is written by men in ivory
towers. You pick up a garden mag-
azine and read that you must hoe
your carrots once a week; 1Y$ ex-
amine the hands of the writer and
you fund them soft and innocent of
blisters. You are advised to doullle-
trench your entire garden, to dig it
two spades deep. And who offers this
advice? Some maiden lady who lives
on the fifteenth floor of a New York
skyscraper and cultivates a window
box containing three" geraniums.
You are moved to tears by an es-
say on the virtues of -the 'Wheelbar-
row and who moves you? Some poor
hack slumped over a typewriter in a
dark, smoke-filled room just off Times
Square.
But at'this very moment, as you
read these words, you are conferring
with an expert on wheelbarrows,, a
man who has spent a lifetime in their
company. I have bean a slave to a
wheelbarrow for ,about thirty years.
Learn the truth from one who has
found it the hard way.
The wheelbarrow is not .
as they imagine in Times Square. It
is a master and • a tyrant. And like
all masters and tyrants, how subtly it
deceives the innocent! How beauti-
fully young' and alluring it appears in
the window Of the hardware store, all
painted red; like a seductive woman,
and with a better figure than most.
And how like a woman it lures you
and enslaves -you forever!
Once grasp the handles of a wheel-
barrow and you can never let, go
again. You will be pushing the fear-
ful machine for the rest of your life.
In the spring you will push, earth to
enrich your borders, or manure to
stimulate your perennials. In the
summer you will pusb vegetables,,
newly gathered. In the autumn yolr
`,... push leaves that .you have'raked:
In the winter, wood that you have
cut.
>� 1i never Change( ije,ause it was
dekliAed by nature to. put -Man in his
>aiae. between the handles, a beast
gf•,lsu sirs perpetually. •
poly know q.j.e,..wheelbarrow with
01).1ch of humanity in it. This eon-
triy4dRe was home-made and some-
hoyy; had escaped the original curse,
so that it possessed balance and car-
ried the weight on its own wheel in -
Stead of unloading it on iiy shoul-
derts. I treated it miserably because
i was young then and cruel, like all
young people. I left it in the rains
of winter and the heat of summer and
not being tough' like other barrows,
it Jd..nal'ly collapsed under a load of
George Pudbury's good barnyard stuff
and died before myeyes.
I burned it and from the funeral
pyre of a hero I took the rich wood
ashes and 'sprinkled them on my on-�
ion bed, so that its cremation fertil-
ized the soil. I felt that it would haves
liked that.
The wheel I have kept and .some
cay I shall • build a new barrow
around it, a revolutionary . barrow of
new design and mechanical principle
and, escaping from . slavery, emanci-
pating gardeners everywhere I shall
submit a blueprint of my, invention to
The New York Times for a small fee.
You may seem to escape the wheel-
barrow .for a time, but you will al-
ways come back to it. Like a chick
to its mother, like a slave to its mas-
ter, like a poor addict to his drug,
pod will find yourself coming back
day after day, year after year, to
your wheelbarrow. Even though „you'
leave it in the rain, even though Vele
neglect and ignore it, the wheelbar-
row will smile to itself, for it knows
that'you will come back in the end.
Above all things, it is the symbol
of man's mortality. We may invent
new automobiles and new airplanes
and every form of gadget to reliep'eii
us of labor and transform us from-
slaves into gods; but the wheelbar4
row remains, unchanged and uncha'
ing through the ages to remind tik
that we are the sons of Adam, who'
are doomed tolabor, to sweat and td
tears- :.
The wheelbarrow has not change
in essential mechanism since civiiiza1
tion was founded. No one has im--
Zroved it and it is still (contrary to
the theories held in Times Square)
completely unscientific, ill-conceived
and badly executed, a crude tool de-
fying all the laws Of mechanics.
It is never properly balanced. It
never utilizes the principle of the lev-
er to ease :the burden on the pusher.
It is conceived ---deliberately, I believe
—to exert the maximum drain on,- a
man's energy, to exhaust him as soon
as possible and thus, with a'diaboli-
cal' cunning, to make hire, realize the
curse utteiled over the Garden pf
Eden. There were no wheelbarrows
there before the fall.
Often, racked with pain, I have
dreamed' of a perfect wheelbarrow,
streamlined,' light as a feather, with -
an invisible engine to propel it, with
a cushioned seat for , the driver and
with a refrigerator to Carry ice-cold
beer. No one ever builds smelt a
vrtreelb'arrow. Science concentrates
on useless gadgets anti ignores the
nr eelbar-row altogether. So it ap-
heal% teal' Wet year, with no ink
lroreiliotite in the Sallie design which
bad *glinted blot since the Lgs+p-
tihnil itheelesl etortos til the ryraitilds.

mediate relatives. Given in marriage
by her, lather, the attractive bride
was lovely in her street -length dress
of white sheer Her finger-tip veil
was caught with `a halo of orange
blossoms, and she carried American
Beauty roses. Her only ornament was
a gold brooch set with a ruby, which
had been presented to her grand-
mother, Mrs. John Johnston, of Hen-
sall, on her fiftieth wedding annivers-
ary. Miss Marion Fish, of London, as
bridesmaid, was costumed in petal

Miss Agnes I aephail, a former
member of the Ho>ise of Commons, a
present candidate for the Provincial
,Legislature of Ontario, spoke recent-
ly over the radio, in the city of Ot-
tawa.
Miss Macphail is, so it seems, chair-
man of the Farm Program Commit-
tee of the C.C.F. She still retains her
keen interest in agriculture despite
the fact that she is running now for
a constituency, part rural, part urban.
The new role must have fashioned
the tone of her address. She lament-
ed the fact that only 10.7 per cent of
the farmers had bathrooms. , Only
37.3 per cent had farms equipped with
hydro power. If only the farmers
could afford bathrooms and hydro
What a tremendous increase of em-
ployment ,would result from this de-
velopment.._.Sttch- was the tenor of
her remarks.
Economics and Politics
We are sorry but Mies- Macphail
forgets something. It will be noted
that she spoke not' from the stand-
point of ,the gains which ac'lld accrue
to the farmers from possessing these
amenities and
advantagesadVantages but r
athe•
from the employment th-tom would be
given in the factories to rho men who
produced them. This is hardly cor-
rect. It would not add, in any mark-
ed degree, to total employment.
Everyone desires' that a farmer
should have a bathtub. He needs it
more than a bank clerk needs it, but
the installation of this equipment on
a farm is rather costly, udder pres-
ent conditheis and, if the farmer, out
of his ,own income, purchases and

maintains- a bathtub and a modern
water system, he must either go .into
debt or reduce his purchases of other
commodities. These •are the alterna-
tives which must be faced. Miss Mac-
phail protests against present` 'farm
debts --even wants them cancelled. 11
be reduces his purchases of other
things in order to provide a bathtub,
how does this increase total employ-
ment? The bathtub makers may be
helped—the makers of other things
may be, hampered.
In the case of hydro,' there is a
slight difference. Hydro power might
enable the farmer cif his farm hap-
pened to be fairly large, to cut Ms
costs. It is, therefore, a part• of pro-
ductive equipment and •the question is
whether or not this investment would
pay the ,farmer better than some oth-
er -investment .a'ad whether it would
t,rodice •sufficient to meet she inter-
est payment, depreciation and main-
tenance and leave him with a bal-
ance on the right side of his ac-
counts.
Farm Income
Mias Macphail may talk on these
things as much as she likes, but ulti-
mately the important thing for the
farmer is a higher income—it is the
thing which matters. Given this, the
farmer will choose his own -way of
spending it and whether he uses it to
purchase a bathtub, install hydro or
build' a new pig pen; will be a matter
of judgment in which he is as cap-
able of reaching a decision as Miss
Macphail or 'any other of his numer-
ous advisers. •
Conning back to the other remarks
of Miss 'Macphail, it is interesting' to
note how, always,• sb,e looks at' things
from the standpoint of labor. She
wanted, of course, production for use
and not for profit. At least, she went
so far as' to seek ,to eliminate profit
and expressed the 'opinion that cer-
tain commodities could be produced
for less if profit were; eliminated. The
sngg'ested means ' of doing this was
by a change of ownership. Indu4try
was to 'be owned by- the state, the
province or municipality. It would be
necessary to take over the plants, the
money for doing so would have to be
borrowed. The lenders would have to
get interest though that maty not al-
ways be a valid assumption. We re-
call the suggestion of the C.C.F. that
loans should be compulsory and with-
out interest. Nor did she explain her
plan for dividing the savings which,
in her opinion, could be obtained from
government and municipal owner-
ship of public utilities, a rather vital
factor, by the way, but wholly ignor-
ed by Miss Macphail.
Two Methods
That is an interesting question. By
her absence from. the House of Com-
mons, Miss Macphail missed the op-
portunity of 'hearing how labor, the
vital 'partner of the C.C.F. would d4 -
vide the gains. On July 7th, the
Committee on Reconstruction and Re-
establishment listened to the repres-
entatives of labor who are attached*
to, the political party to which Miss
Macphail belongs. On that day they
urged the establishment of a six -hour
day and a 30 -hour week with weekly
wages remaining the same ss they
noware for the 40 and 44 -hour week.
They were to receive the same week-
ly wage as they previously received,
despite reduction of hours, thus pro-
viding for an hourly wage rate from
33 to 46 per cent higher than, they
had before,
If Miss Macphail bad been there
she would have supported labor in
this attitude because the party to
which she belongs is composed of
two groups, one labor and the 'other
farmer, and it would be quite impos-
sible for her to leave one and cling
to the other. So she fights for a
bathtub and hydro equipment for the
farmer, laments his inability to get
either and supports a party which
promises to see to it that the bath -
.tub and everything else the farmer
gets will cost him more than ever be-
fore. Economics and politics are us-
ually difficult to• mix—sometimes im-
possible,
