Those Unwelcome Guests
Those high prices are unwelcome
guests, May they sit on thorns as all un
welcome guests are expected to do. But
while those high prices that are so effec
tually robbing our souls of peace are un
welcome guests they are guests here on
our own invitation. We invited them by
asking for all sorts of costly furnishings.
We insisted on having speedways rather
than good solid roads. And these roads
can be paid for only at the cost of high
prices. Then nearly everyone insisted on
having a car, Cai's cost money. Gasoline
costs money. We insisted on having tele
phones and the telephone bill pried off
more good dollars. We required our mail
to be brought to our doors. We passed by
the merchant who did not deliver the last
bun and the last spool of thread. We in
sisted that our neighbour should get rid
of hi.s cow and his pig and his chickens.
We declared ourselves too busy to bake
pur own bread. We must have our tables
.•supplied with bakery and confectionery
made from products exemplifying the last
degree of refinement. And these are but a
few of the guests who have been eating us
out of house and home. Of course, all
these are very entertaining guests but they
are guests who have a way of eating. They
have eaten up a great deal of what wc
should have been storing against the cold
blasts of our allotted span of three score
and ten. These unwelcome guests are very
entertaining and highly recommended by
the omniscient uplifter but they cost money
and governments have no way of securing
this money except by taxation. Those de
lightful services our merchants render are
about the nicest accommodations in all
the world of business, but they cost money
and the much harrassed merchant knows
of no way of securing the money therefor
except by raising prices. Every high price
that now torments us was invited to be our
guest. Why deceive ourselves? Jack Ca
nuck’s guests have left nothing to be de
sired in the way of entertainment but they
have been greedy caters. Jack has done a
fine stroke of business but his guests have

scrambling to show that high prices are
taking the hint that it is time for them to
remove their feet from the Canadian
house. Jack Canuck is weary of them. Jack
is not dull enough to fail so see that he
has cultivated tastes that have become his
tormentors and is treading the toes of
those unwelcome guests.

There’s No Avoiding It
Reference already has been made
what Britain has done this harvest, ,
had the promise of an unusually fine much
needed harvest when n tempest* of rain and
wind broke upon her fields, levelling every
thing and forecasting another winter of mi
sery. Then the skies cleared and the child
ren of the heroes of Dunkirk went at the
harvest. Everything from a pen knife to a
combine harvester was requisioned. Every
hour of light was untilized. Everyone, who
could lift a straw was set doing what he
could. The blacksmith vied with the dainty
fingered seller of silks and laces. The car
penter riballed the haberdasher. My lady
was required to leave her lipstick. All had
a mind to work, and work they did till the
last grain of wheat. And the result? Britain

better things in life. But to produce such goods in sufficient quantities, skilled
labour is vital, That is why every single one of us should be glad that war veterans
are constantly being trained to provide the skilled hands so needed by industry*
They receive ON THE JOB training under expert instructors in our Ontario
factories.
This training, provided through the co-operation of the Department of Veterans’
Affairs, the Federal Department of Labour and the Ontario Department of Educa
tion, starts the veteran on the road to skilled craftsmanship. In assembling
business machines, for example, veterans must have a thorough knowledge of
electricity and must learn to perform intricate work on precision machines having
thousands of separate parts. These Canadian-made business machines Are sold in
all parts of the world, creating new Wealth for Canada and Ontario, Therefore
every effort of these newly skilled veterans helps to make Ontario a finer place in
which to live and contributes to the welfare and happiness of all her citizens.
