All Are Losers
• In. Ottawa -a short time ago, Mr.
Humphrey • Mitchell, Minister of
Labor in the King Government,
stressed two grave facts.. The steel
worker's, he said, have already lost
in unpaid wages a great deal More
than they can possibly hope to gain °
from the strike. in the future.
For example, Mr. Mitchell says
that if the strikers accept an increase
of 121/2 cents ,an hour, they will have
to work for two years, ten and a half
months to make up for the wages
they lost in the strike. And should
the strike continue to the end of
August, they would have to work
four years to make up their losses.
.Even f they were given -an in-
crease of 151/2 cents, a figure that the
• Government is afraid would smash
-7---pritte ceilings, they would not be-everr-7-
until they had worked a year and
• four months. •
From the national standpoint the
greatest 'loss is in the steel itself, be-
cause the shortage. of steel involves
almost every manufacturing indus-
• try. This, of course, will postpone
the day when wemay expect maxi-
• mum production of consumer goods
and will only prolong the danger to-
t
our price ceilings.
Consequently it is quite'clear that
• the strike is not only threatening the
price 'ceiling directly, through wage
• increases which have to be followed
by price increases, but indirectly by
increasing the danger of inflation
because' we are unable to get an
abundant supply of goods.• •
Tlie first, loss a the Strike, is, of
course, to the strikerg, through their
months of. idleness. But „there is a
larger lossto our Canadian economy
• in consumer goods, and in continu-,.,
• in g and aggravating our inflation
danger much longer than should be,
or is necessary.
When strikes were daily on the in-
crease across the line a. very few
months, ago, we, in Canada, were
very optimistic in congratulating
ourselves that we were quite free in
Canada. That optimism has now
given _ way to pessimism, and with
- some just cause. It looks very much
as if these labor strikes which are
supposedly called to enforce wage
increases, are • really caused by
labor leaders who have an altogether
• different object in view. A better liv-
ing for the working man, is only the
pretext that keeps their followers in
line. Their maiw-object- is, obviously,
aimed at the key industries that can
• • - do most to cripple the recovery of
Canada; following the war, when we
expected prosperity would come, and
• should have come.
It is true that we should notbe
pessimistic, but when one looks over"
the names of these labor union lead-
ers, both in Canada and the States,
one can not help but think of Com-
munism. Even the few Anglo-Saxon
names among them have more than
• possibly been acquired quite recent-
ly, and have a very different look
and sound to that they acquired after
birth_
• •
Wanted --A Reason• •
Lastweek Ontario's Premier Drew
• cancelled a speaking engagement at
a- Conservative pfcMe in Windsor,
,• because, he said, he had learned that
• r
a number of hotelkeepers in the city
• and. district had contributed money
. for a programme of sports to be run
off on the day- of the picnic:
• _ intimated further that he
wild introduce legislation a,k. the
• *ext session 4g the Legislature that
• Would Make it 'illegal to accept;
•*Ono frotwbotelkeepers to be used
tiveifltIea1:pienick ()cm-
. - •
fAtilatf,O.the 'proposed gather- •-
,
ing at Windsor. •
Premier Drew's reasonsfor can,
ening his spealdng date at Windsor
4y be perfectly justified in his own
- sight. But it makes a good many
other people in Ontario. wonder why
hotelkeeper's money should be look-
ed upon as tainted money when vol-
Untarily contributed for picnic priz-
• es, while- on the other hand, he con-
siders that same money perfectly
-honest money when extracted from
the hotelkeepers by way of license.
Still further, to be perfectly logi-
• cal, if Premier Drew is going to pass
legislation forbidding people or or-
ganizations accepting hotelkeepers'
money for picnic or other sports
prizes why should he not include in
the same legislation a, clause forbid-
- ding schools, churches or patriotic
societies from accepting it as well.
And even go on down the line and ,
• include merchants as Well. Because
hotelkeepers are liberal contributors,
or have been up to now, to all these
causes. -
We believe that if Premier Drew
would, stop charging nineteen cents
an ounce for the soft water he puts
in the whiskey he sells to, the people
of Ontario, he would meet with
greater acelaim at the hands of the
general public, than he has done by
hinting that the money of his own
hotelkeepers is tainted.
• But then, as one of the ardent stip-
• •porters of his political party told us
the other day: PremierDrew-is like
that.
•—
On Loafing
- Governments everywhere, includ-
ing our own, seem in recent years to
have bent their main endeavors to
• legislate us into a single mould. Our
. health, our wealth; our morals, our
education, our recreation have all
been looked over, and pretty. ron
there will be no more natural 'cussed=
ness left for us to indulge in.
Perhaps no man in this so-called
progressive world, should complain
too much about that. But great cau-
tion: and much vigilance should be
used to see man is not made such a
model of perfection; that all would
be alike, and consequently, insuffer-
ably dull arid tedious.
Even Britain, that land of indi-
viduals, is following our government
plan. Last spring there were only
807 tramps in the whole of Britain. -
But even these idle poor as distin-
guished from idle rich, are to be tak-
- en in hand and made into useful
- members of society.
Why? A real tramp has Teemed
and practises one of the most difficult
arts in the world, of today, or any
other .day — simplydoing nothing.
• And there are no pleasures. in the
• world that compare with doing noth-
ing, if one knows how to do nothing.
That is why we think those 807
real tramps still left in Britain
should ,be allowed to continue on as
tramps in a happy state of freedom.
It would be a great mistake to trans-
fer or transform them to the pattern
of the rest of us. Because these
tramps are the only people left in
the world still able to, loaf and be -
perfectly useless, without • going
through the motions of doing some-
thing useful. In fact, they are the
only people left to keep the great art
of loafing alive.
If our government succeeds in
banishing all tramps from the land
- and regimenting our lives frOrn the ,
womb to the tomb, society will have
reached a peak that we; for one,
'won't want to have any part of it.
And we know a couple of others who
will be willing to go on the tramp to
keep individuality alive in the world.
• •
• Back To School
• We would remind those below 'teen
age 'boys and girls, and some older
ones too, who have- reaehed that end
of August "what -to-do" stage, that
school will open next week, and they
will be happy again.
New books, new rooms, and new
teachers are exciting and fill the
Wants for a while.
Of course it will be something else
later on, Like too ,long a holiday,
these things will pall.. But school
• days are happy days.. The best in
life. You boys anti girls will learn
that after a. while.

• Along about this time of year -when
clouds darken the sun so often and
the eletiles line squeaks in the pulley
as the wind pushes the clothes back
and forth, a fellow stares thinking
about Fall. One of the pleasant
things te 'think about concerns itself
with the fall fairs, exhibitions and
plowing matches that come along.
Here at Lazy Meadows we always
manage to take in a few of these
events. After a bard season of work
I think it's a good thing to get away
for' awhtle from it all. Going to the
fall fair is, of course, an event that
few fent families miss. For the sake
of your family you just have to 'go.
It's also a thing a man gets quite a
kick out of, -
This year in Huron County they're
going to have an International Plow-
ing Match. This will be the first -one
since about the' ilrst year of the war,
I guess. During the three or four
years before the war l'ye always man-
aged to get to them. It became al -
West our annual •• holiday. Country
folks, can't take much time off during
the busy season of harvest and yet
along about the second week of Octo-
ber I think it does a fellow good to
get away.
There's something about a plowing
'meta that remains typical of the
1 ~
country. While a lot of our fall fairs
have developed into very little more
than carnivals, with race, tracks, at-
tached, the backbone. of a plowing
match is .spenething with which every
-farmer can identify himself.
Course now, for those that want
other attractions, you can find them
at an 'International Plowing Match.
One of the things I have always lik-
ed abont the International is the fact
that they've kept the gypsters and
racketeers away from it: They keep
a firm hand on that sort of thing.
• like to go 'to the big plowing
match early in 'the morning. About
that time in October the air, early in
the morning, has enough crispiness in
it that your blood has, ta get up t� a
brisk pace to keep you warm. You
can smell the fines of gasoline as
the big tractors ;Warm up, and then
head towards the fields. You • can,
hear the trace chains slapping on the
harness as the teams are driven to-
wards tbe fields. • • '
There's a smell of fond as the con-.
cessionaires start getting meals ready
and you wander down the lines of
exhibits and examine the new machin-
ery -before the big crowd starts mill-
ing around. .-
It's a satisfying experience, and
I'm going to Huron this fall for the
big International Plowing Match.

Pay Higher Prices For Export Beef
The Meat Board announced on Aug-
ust 11 inereases in the buying price
of better qualities "of beef for export
to .the United Kingdom. This action
has been taken to restore the rela-
tionship of export priceS to domestic
ceiling prices for beef which existed
prior to the increase in the domestic
ceilings autheriZed by the. Wartime
Prices and Trade Board on July 26.
The increase in export prices vaties
accotdineto 'quality in the different,
price zones throughout 'Canada.
The ne* export prices' provitle an
increase of $1 per 100 pounds in Al-
berta and Saskatchewan, $1.50 per 100
pounds in Alberta and Saskatche-
wan, $1.50 per 100 pounds in Winni-
peg and Montreal, and $2 .per 100
pounds in Ontario for choiee and good
steer and heifer beef. Theseeincreas-
es-will preside a finer for -these quale
ties of beef of 25 cents below domes-
tic ceilings. •
Commercial quelity steer and heifer
beef. has been increased by .'50 cents
Per • 100 pounds in Winnipeg and
Montreal, and $1 in Ontario, With 'no
changenn the price paid for this qual-
ity 'in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
'These increases will provide a floor
for commercial quality at $1.25 per
100 pounds ,below domestic ceiling at
all points throughout Canada.
Heretofore the export price for good
and choice cow,beef was 75 cents per
100 pounds below domestic ceilings.
Tlie price for good ,and choice cow
beef has been raised' 50 cents per 100
pounds in all price zones which will
provide a floor price of 25 cents be-
low domestic 'ceilings similar to the
floor price on goodand choice steer
and heifer beef.

Pyrethrum, Nab Rotenone, Return
Although DDT ---has proved' such a
powerfill agent in, the control of flies
and insects, pyrethrum and rotenone,
the two well-known sub8tan6es used
in agricultural and domestic sprays,
have by no means been supplanted.
They were practically munitions of
Wan and were in short supply for
civilian use during hdstilities. Sup-
plies are new on .the way to regain,
their normal position' in the trade.
Pyrethrum, variously known as
Persian Pellitoey •and Inalmatiah
flower a according to their Place Of
origin, came originally from Dalmatia,
in Yugoslavia, but after -the Pirat
World, War the 'trade Was metope -
liked .by the. japintiese: Later a high
ntiality ileWer Wee developed in the
- ,
•-•
British Kenya Colony ' in Africa, and
during the ' Second World War -a
source of supply wan developed n
South America. At the present time,
Kenya supplies are coming forward
.and, with the anticipation of a good
crop this year, it is•expected that the
position will, soon be about normal.
Rotenone, which is derived f roma
derris, sometimes called •tuba, orig-
inates in the East Indies. It is 'also
obtainable from cube a.ndtinabo which
grew in, Selene America.' Now that
the war is over, 'East Indian supplies
are once more obtainable, but they
are -going mostly to the British Isles.
The South: American supplies are
more or less-eonfined to the -American
continent, and, now that government
control has been lifted, are once more
in the. bands- 6f the trade. Rotenone
isea powerful ingredient in -sprays
against lilting and sucking flies and
ether insects,' and is p'articularly
effective against warble grubs, from
which warble flies emerge. ,

-Wartime Subsidies Help Production
Subsidies paid, out of public funds

by governments. to provide individualg
or corporations, in lieu of or in addi-
tion to returns obtained in regular
market channels, are not a . new
economic technique, state Frank'
Shefrin and Marjorie R. Cameren,
Economics Division, Dominion , De-
partment, of 'Agriculture, in an intro-
duction to a brochure on the wartime
subsidy program 'of the Department.
Food subsidies employed to hold
retail food prices at lower levels than
would 'otherwise .preyail,are, how-
ever, they say, a war phenomenon.
'Production subsidies ,to keep farm
costs down have been used before in
one farm or another.

,An increase in the price of any
important product under wartime con-
ditions puts into op'etation a trait' of
consequences which' moves irresist-
ibly to further increases in prices
