Coat Strike Off
Unexpectedly and rather dram-
atically, John L. Lewis ordered the.
miners back to work on Saturday,
after a seventeen -day strike:But
while 'the 'strike is over, its effect will
be felt, not only in the United, States;
but in Canada, and even Britain, for
some months to come.
" In little over two weeks the action
of the striking coal miners had 'al-
, ready deprived 250,000. -men, outside
the union, of their jobs, and that
number would have exceeded half a
this. week. •
It ' was, no doubt, public opinion
that forced Lewis to call off • the.
strike.. , A fear, too, possibly, that
public opinion would go further and
force the .government to lake action
.to.'curb..the _actions -of his union, . or
even destroy it.• .
And it is time that public opinion
was awakening. It is an impossible
situation when a man like Lewis, or
any other labor leader, owing no re-
spOnsibility to the people, and not
elected .by them, should hold the dan-
gerous power of wrecking the indus-
• trial World of two continents
bringing people to his feet.
In that john L. Lewis failed this.
time, but. this continent shoUld not
be too optimistic in the belief that he.
-Will-not 'try- it 'again -at some: future
time. • •
For A Successful Fall Fair
The fall fair season in Ontario has.
of course, come and gone, carrying
with it a- varying degree of success.
▪ the season for the reorganizing
• of agricultural soeieties is almost
here, and on the choice of officers
made and plans outlined at 'these
meetings, largely depends the future
• of the fall fair. •
• And on this subject the Port Elgin
Times has made some timely and
suggestive remarks. It says; "The
North Bruce and Saugeen Agricul-
• tural Society has had tough sledding
financially 'for several years but is
• now oh a sound financial basis. Per-,
hapsthe tune is ripe for the .society
• to take a fling at a more ambitious
• program , if that is what the public
want—and it seems that such is the
•
case. But steeessfuT fall' fairs require
• a hoard of active worker's With every
• one willing to attend -a lot of meet-
ings. Such fairs need at least six
months of careful planning. There
• must be no hurried decisions. The
• directors-shouldbe a balanced blend-
• ing of men and women from the farm
and the town—people with practical
experience in farming, business and
specialized , knowledge; they must
possess more than experience ; they
must have faith ;- .they Must be will-
ing to, gamble with fortune ; they
• must 'be reahsts; they must give the
public .what it .wants."
• . All these things are true "a'nd very
timely and they should redeive very
general consideration when agricul-
tural societies meet for reorganiza-
• tion next month. But there is one
thing we would suggest to the list
that the Times has outlined for a
• successful' fall fair. That is. 'the ap-
•,pointment of a general -manager in
• addition to a board of directors.
No matter how capable and en-
- thtisiastic-a- board of directers m4Y.
be, it is next to impossible for aboard
to meet often enough during the
months preceding the fall fair dates•
to lay out a blueprint of things to be
• done. And -it takes more than a week
or two to plan and carry out a suc-
cessful fall fair.
•• On the other hand, if an agricul-
tural society would appoint a man to
have general Supervision of,all
es, attractions ,and finances, and pay
him enough to -hold him responsible
for thefair's success, it would lighten
--the duties of the directors, but at the

The Fireplace
•• In the building of most modern
homes, the once familiar fireplace is
no more. It it out. It finds no place in
modern heating plans; it is too much
trouble to keep clean.
• And so it goes. But it is a pity,
because through history it has
Proved much more than just a centre
of warmth. It has, in fact, contribut-
ed more .than its share to the up-
• building .of Canada. In pioneer days
it not only provided' warmth and
light, but it filled the place of a kit-
chen range. •
Wherever our pioneers built their
first log cabins, the most important
fixture ,was the, fireplace. Many a
pioneer, after a crushing dak's work, •
would seat himself before its Cheery
blaze, and in a short time he would
feel encouragement and his heavy
problems would seem to melt away,
and he would have fresh courage for
his work of tomorrow.
• But it was not only the pioneer
• that found solace in a fireplace.
Many a_ harassed business and pro-
fessional man has gained his poise
and renewed his hope by complentat=
ing a blazing fireplace, or one of
glowing coals. May it long live and
last. •
. '
No Forty -Hour Week
Labor unions_ in Britain, like in
• every other country, are "demanding
shorter hours and higher wages.
When the Trades Union Congress
was in 'session early last fall, one' of
its chief resolutions was in favor of
• greatly reduced- hours and higher
wages for the shorter hours that had
•previously been received for a long-
er day.
Possibly the unions did not expect
the Labor Government to accede to
their demands at once. •If so,, their
expectations have been realized, for
Prime Minister Attlee has told them
rather bluntly that not only is the
forty -hour week out in Britain, but
he is demanding more and better
• work from the .British workmen.
• It was not an easy thing .-for_a
-Labor Government to ask workers
to produce more and. work harder,
When it had promised to improve the
• living condition's of all the 'working
people in the country. But evidently
'tbe Labor -Government is deeply con-
cerned over the failure of Britain to
• attain the output of goods necessary
to rebuild its post-war economy and
at the same time give that country
any hope of prosperity in the future.
AtpresentBritain is' desperately
short of labor, ndt only to produce
the goo -ds it needs itself; but to pro-
duce the goods it must export to buy
-• the necessities of life. And the peo-
ple of Britain can only live better if
they produce more goods.
If the previous government in Bri-
tain had • spoken asbluntlyto labor
as Mr. Attlee has done, it would,Of
Course, have been accused of being
the friend of the capitalist. But seeing
that it was the -Labor Unions and
Labor that elected' the present gov-
• ernment, they can not -accuse it Of
any' such thing.. When Ahe govern-
ment tells the people the simple truth
that Britain can only attain prosper-
ity by turning out more goods, the
labor unions can not, with any rea-
• son, "deny it.
Consequently that fact will be bet-
• ter and more readily. accepted when
it is spoken by' a government of its
own kind and chewing.' At any rate,
labor in Britain has, got to face the
actual position of Britain—the coun-
try is poor audits poverty can only.
overcome
be by better industrial
methods and by work. -
• Those are facts that Should be in-
stilled into the minds of the people
of a good many other countries be-
side Britain. •

Be Careful of Fire At Christmas Party
Every year. some Christmas festivi-

'are tragic. Without care, the kind -

decorations generally are made of
inflammable material, and it is court -

For • estample, lighted candles in
paper. lanterns suspended 'from -the
ceiling or bung on a Christmas tree,
Or an improperly insulated seeing of
electric lights may prove beacons of
danger. With children romping about.
in their flimsy finery, the 'greatest
care must be exercised that under no
circumstances would it be possible
for the children or tee decorations 'to
come into contact with -a naked light.
wbether it be from gas, candle,eor a

Great danger lurks in using strings
of electric lights that have done ser-
vice the year before unless they have
been thoroughly examined and tested
before being put up. Each inch of

inspected for worn places in the 'in -

piece is on' the outer caster, a strip

Producing Ability, Farm Land Falling
In a recent address to the Prescott
Rotary Club, Dr. E. SeArchibaid, Di-
rector, Experimental • .arms Service:
Dominion Department 01Agriculture
dealt at length •on the subject °fa -Food
eta Agriculture." While tOitching.'on
Canade's gteat effort, he stressed .the
fact that in future , the agreements
with Britabe and other countries, or
through any food board that might be
set up under the jurisdiction of the
Food and Agriclilture Organization
eF.A,04.-„ef 'the United Natems, left
Canada with a hetity responsibility
-for producing up to the' very maxi-
mum for years to come. .
"We in Canada," said Dr. Arebibalil,
"although heavy producers of foods,
still have our obligations in improved
productioninaanada and in other
countries. We'ar,e heavy exporters of
certain types of commercial fertlitzer,
of implementand toole, of farm 'ma-
chinery, and .we have a wealth of ex-
perience and knowledge in: many mat-
ters which might- be adopted by
other countries less advanced.. We
are heaey exporters of improved seeds
and of certain vaccines and seem.
In all these factors, too, eee in -Can-
ada can improve our own practicet • in
the adoption of methods toward lew-
ering meta of produ-ction and improv-
ing the quality of our prof:Gets!" ,
But in regard • to soil conservation
'fee the 'food of tomorrow, Dr, Archi-
bald issued' a warning. Because, he
said, of the vastly increased produc-
tion by 'Canada in agricultural toed -
stuffs during the war, many Canadians
were prone to be veer complacent as
to Canada's 'producing ability and
reach the dangerous assumption that
that feat could be repeated with no.
special thought of soils conservation.
• Actually there is .evidence that ov-
er a period of years Canada's produc-
ing ability is dectining, and that, in.
spite of. the...ane work' of plant breed-
ers toward producing heavy -yielding
varieties 'of better quality- and resist-
ant tri and insects, these 'in-
sect plagues were on the increase and
had been so for fifty years. Many
people failed to realise that, although
Canada's population was small in et
lationship to her total food produc-
tion, nevertheless the world's popula-
tion was hapidly eataing up to the
