1%% 'aears ago it was pointed b ded roads, public buildâ€" ings, public works of various kinds. It had been the habit to do this work in prosperous times, in boom days. This meant that payment had to folâ€" low down to more difficult times. Why not reâ€" verse the processâ€"do the work in dull days and trust to pay for it when times were better? The answer to this by one Cabinet Minister was the horrified exclamation, "Why a plan like that would mean the expenditure of $150,000,000." At that time $150,000,000 seemed like a huge sum of money but what has relief cost? And what has direct relief accomplished? A speaker in parliament last week made the suggestion that relief had cost Canada a billion dollars to date. â€" Supposing half that amount had been spent to create work, the FPor years past The Advance has been advocatâ€" ng work, work, workâ€"not relief. The real meéen and women of this courtry never wanted réliefâ€" hated relief in their hearts. All they asked was the chance to make their own way. They had There was regret that Col. Drew did not exâ€" tend on the idea of just how the young men of toâ€"day couild be given back their faith, belief and will to success. The Advance can suggest one thing that would go a long way to bringing about the spiritual revival suggested by Col. Drew. I{f the Government were to announce:â€""Here is honest work at living wage for two hundred thouâ€" sand, three hundred thousand, men!" there would be such a revival of faith and hope aund belief in the future as would kill defeatism. What is needâ€" ed is to get away from relicf, and back to work. There is nothing wrong with the country, nothing wrong with the youth. There is work enough cryâ€" ing to be done to keep Canada busy for generaâ€" tions to fulfil the real destiny of this land. Several community organizations have gone on récord as specially desirous that the athletic grounds used by the town for over twenty years should not pass into private ownership and the ‘town thus lose a valuable park in the centre of the town. It is recognized that if this land is given over to commercial purposes there is no other property available for park purposes or for public buildings that may be nceded in the ncar future. The latest community organization to go on record as favouring the maintaining of the athletic grounds for public use as a park is the Timinins Horticultural Society. Probably no other group in the town has done as much for the beauâ€" tifying of Timmins and making it a better place to the Horticultural Society, so their opinion carries much force in this case. In his address at Timmins last week Col. Geo. A. Drew, the new Ontario Conservative party leadâ€" er, emphasized the thought that what this counâ€" try needed toâ€"day was a spiritual revival. He exâ€" plained that he did not refer to a religious or secâ€" tional revival, but to a return of faith, hope, courâ€" age and enterprise such as won success and proâ€" gress for the pioneers of this country. He stressâ€" ed the fact that the hope of the country rested in the youth and because of this the younger generâ€" ation must be given back faith and hope and beâ€" lief in success. All that.Col. Drew said about the growth of what is called "defeatism" is all too true. The young people of toâ€"day are not only handiâ€" capped for lack of opportunity to fit themelves into places in life, but there is too much a spirit of hopelessness or carelessness abroad in regard to the matter. In any event no one seems to be doâ€" ing anything about it. The country appears to be waiting for taxes to go down or some other mirâ€" acle. If the young man unable to find profitable work to do were to ask his father or his grandâ€" father about it, the older man could truthfully say that he had been in similar position in his youngâ€" er days and did not get much sympathy about it. But the older man had the advantage at least in the fact that he lived in a world that had faith and hope and belief. "You‘ll dig up something," he would be told, ‘"if you keep on hustling." Reâ€" lief was tUinknown in those days, it is true, but if relief is the best this country can offer its young men, then it is a sorry day, indeed. Since the early days of the town the athletic srounds here have been a decided asset to the town. The recent completion of the athletic grounds on the cyanide fills the needs of the town for athletic purposes, but the announcement that the present ground would be disposed of has been received with very general regret in town. It is sincerely to be hoped that the several service clubs, the board of trade, the Horticultural Soâ€" ciety, and the other organizations and individuals interested will be able to find ways and means whereby the town will be able to continue to enjoy the advantages of the old athletic grounds as a public park and as a possible central site for necessary public buildings in the future.

Mr. Davis Attorneyâ€"General of Saskatchewan, who used these words in a recent letter:â€"*"My observation leads me to the belief that the Confederation Life â€" Special reference is made to the attitude of the Confederation Life Association as showing a parâ€" ticularly helpful and friendly spirit of coâ€"Ooperaâ€" tion with the debtors. "Files of this company," says the article, "are rich with examples of this new Prairie partnership, little bits of extra aid, but which, rendered during a crisis, have literally saved the situation for the individual farm debtor. This company maintains expert agriculturalists, veterinaries and cconomists on its Western staff, and these men with science to back their pracâ€" tical knowledge and experience have kept many a farmer from falling into despair over his mortâ€" gage. Others have won their way out of the load of mortgage through the advice and help of the company. A number of concrete cases are quoted to establish the fact of the genuine helpfulness of ithis corporation. One Saskatchewan farmer faced defeat when fire wiped out his barn, stables iand seven horses. It was the loss of his horses that was the chief blow. â€" His neighbours were sympathetic and kindly, but they had no horses to lend him. There was nothing he could do, exâ€" cept tell the insurance company that he had to quit, owing them the money that he would have gladly paid but for the ill fortune that had struck him. "Don‘t worry‘", was the reply, "we‘ll plow your summer fallow with our tractor outfit, and it won‘t cost you a cent." That encouraged him all right, and later when they loaned him horses for his other work, he saw his way through. Severâ€" alâ€"cases are mentioned where debtors were faced with the ironic situation of the first good crop in years, but lacking all credit and without facilities to harvest the crop. In these cases the insurance company gave the small additional financing that turned despair into success. In the drought and rust areas of Saskatchewan the company suppleâ€" mented the aid given by the Government, providâ€" ing many necessities that the Government would not supply. Much benefit was also derived by many by following the advice of the experts to| sow durum wheat and Thatcher wheat, these beâ€" ing rustâ€"resistant. | | | Despits these facts, however, there has been much published recently â€" especially from the Westâ€"to leave a discouragmg and misleading picâ€" ture. _A recent article in The Financial Post, however, suggests that the man on the street is not the only one having sympathy for the unforâ€" tunate debtor, but that creditors have sympathy â€"intelligent sympathyâ€"that helps as well as conâ€" doles. "When the history of Western farm rehaâ€" bilitation comes to be written," says The Financial Post, "much credit will have to be given to the frequentlyâ€"maligned mortgage holder. While avoiding pouring good money after bad, the big lending companies have repeatedly come to the assistance of the debtor. Aside from sweeping debt adjustments over large areas in which inâ€" surante and mortgage institutions have velunâ€" tarily taken interest cuts running into many milâ€" lions of dollars, there have been thousands of inâ€" dividual settlements of which the public has heard little or nothing. Help has come quickly. Withâ€" out red tape, tedious investigation or discriminaâ€" tion, local representatives in the field have stepâ€" ped in at once. Much of the assistance has been entirely gratis; there were no strings attached to any offers." At the present time there is a tendency on the part of many to picture all debtors as deserving of the decepest sympathy and all creditors as a grinding and grasping lot concerned only with securing their full pound of flesh. When the dcbhtor happens to be a poor man and the creditor a big and powerful corporation there are some who act as if they felt that the case had 6nly one side and that a discreditable one to humanity and the present economic system. It was the growth of this attitude that made it possible to attempt the confiscatory political schemes tried in Onâ€" tario and the West. The thoughtful man has only to look closely at affairs around him to see that even big corporations have developed souls. In the first place, the corporations are headed by men of talent and farsightedness, and such men are clever enough to know that success can not be won without consideration for the other fellow. The success of any line of business depends on the prosperity of its clientele and naturally shrewd administrative heads are too farsighted to assist in any way in the pauperizing of their customers. At the best that sort of thing would be poor busiâ€" ness. In the second place, it is well to remember that it takes big men to run big business, and big men usually have big hearts as well as big brains. The youth of Canada may be fully trusted to show a complete revival of the oldâ€"time faith and hope and belief, when their elders in the seats of government evidence the enterprise, the courage, the initiative of the pioneers of Canadaâ€"the faith that built railways and canals and roads and cities â€"the courage that was not afraid even to make mistakesâ€"the belief that saw visions of the great~ ness that might be built in this Canada of ours. country would have public works to the full value of the expenditures, and on the top of that there would be less nced to call for spiritual revival. From the expenditures for relief, there has been nothing but relief.
