ui+ _T â€"EDITORIAL e There is little money to be made by doing one‘s own washing. On the other hand, it is possible to make some extra cash by dting laundry for the nelighbors, provided of course that one can uulnmee rcguler deliveries at reasonable prices. To give the homily a wider application, it can be sald that 1â€" t # A _2 in â€" lc <f 0 CC OE ols dnc Canada, as a nation, caennot improve the standard of living of its citisens beyond a certain point, unless it cstablishes trade with its neighbor nations throughout the world. At the end ¢of the war Canada found itself in a favored position to do just this. It was geared to an allâ€"time peak in industrial proâ€" duction. If it could chenge over to peacetime lines of manufacturing, there existed some scores of nations whose industry has been so damaged by war that they would require imports for some time to come. â€" Labor in Canada could look forward to a new era of more plentiful jobs c. higher pay, backed by a healthy export trade. A number cf international contracts have had to be cancelled. A Europe which nceds farm implements to work its way up from a starvaticn level is now reading of the closing of Canzada‘s largest mantufacturer of farm implements â€"â€" closed because workers and management in the steel industry find it within their power to halt production while they argue over wages and hours of work. If this and other strikes continue, Canada c2n say goodbye to its dream of increased trade and an attendant higher standard of With ti.‘s prospect in mind the Canadian government made trade treaties with a number of European countriee who eagerly sought new tocis and equipment to enable them to repair the damage caused by six years of war. Canada appeared to have the winning cards, if only the hand could be moderately well piayed. Unfortunately, before the game could get beyond the first deal, the joker showed up, and Canada‘s future as gn industrial nation is in the discard. That "jcker‘"‘ is Canada‘s present inability to live up to its con.â€" tracted export schedules to other nations. Canada is unable to deliver the gcods. Labor disputes have been so â€"handled that production is insufficient for our own necds, let alone the needs of other natiors with whom we had expected a profitable trade. In looking for higher wages at this time, some sections of labor have, by their own acts, biocked the industrial progress which would have made those higher wages possible. In seeking shorter. hours, so that more workers could be employed, they have lost the possibility of added jobs for thousands of Canadians whose hope of employment lay in the prospect of increased export trade. The question remains: can he afford to rent a Wartime Housing home? â€" The fourâ€"room houses, without basement, and renting for â€"$27.50, may be within his reach. â€" If he has any family, it is more ‘Alikely that he will hope for more than four rooms. In which case he must be prepared to pay $37.00 or $40 for a five or sixâ€"roomed ~home. There is no doubt these larger homes are worth the money. They are equipped with full basement and furnace. ‘But here again, the prospective accupant of Wartime Housing homes must remind himself that he can only afford some 25 per cent of his income for rent. On this basis, he would need to earn between $37.50 and $40 a week. Many veterans are earning ~that much. But many more are not. A large percentage of exâ€" servicemen are young, with little business or trade experience _behind them. Their peaceâ€"time occupation â€"does not yet earn "them the wages which would enable them to move their families into the homes built for them under: Wartime Housing Limited. ' G. J. Mcliraith, parliamentary assistaent to Reconstruction Minâ€" ister Howe, has pointed out that manufacturers of railway rolling stocks, ships and other heavy industry goods have had overseas contracts cancelled which would have kept their plans in full preduction for years. They never had orders of that kind before the war, reported Mr. Mcllraith, and now in the light of cancelled contracts, "I fear that we will never have a chance for that business again." And while we are ready to adimit that government and manageâ€" ment must bear their full share of responsibility for Canada‘s lost opportunrities, we would poirt out that organized labor must, by its decision to ask for a better deal before industry was organized for peacetime production, assume its own «share of responsibility in this connection. _ An increased awareness by organized labor of its responsibility to the nation as a whole and to the world at large must remain the prayer of the remaining 75 per cent of the workers who do not belong to any union. . _ columnist has a marked sympathy for the work of the unions in striving for the betterment of the lot of the worker in Canada. ‘It has sn even more marked sympathy with the other threeâ€"quarters of the population who, although unorganized themselves, have to join in paying the penalty of any illâ€"considered or irresponsible act of unionized labor. There is, looming ever larger on the industrial horizon, the prosâ€" pect that if a few more workers take time off to argue about wages, we shall all lose our jobs. A few more industries tied up by strikes, a few more cancellations of orders for goods from Canadian factories, and we shall be nicely into our postâ€"war depression. And unemployment is unemployment, whcther a worker has a unlon card or not. Let us remember that while it is easy to close down an tudust.ry ‘by a strike, it is not so easy to guarantee that when the sbrike is over the industry will be able to operateâ€"on as large a scale as before. It is always easier to walk cut of a job than it is to walk into one. Mnst of us, from painful experience, know what a household budget is.. . For the rest of you, we would:â€"explain that it is a system of controiling household financing, â€" Budget experts tell you what per cent,. of your pay should be spent on groceries, insurance, doctors‘ bills, recreation, ebc. . Most experts agree that no more than 25 per cent of income should hbe spent on rent or‘ purchase of housing. This point is interesting to those exâ€"servicemen who contemplate renting a home from Wartime Housing Limited. So far as we‘ve been able to judge from homes in course of construction here, the homes being built under Wartime Housing are good homes. They appear attractive, wellâ€"proportioned and planned, . and . of sound construction. Anyone would be glad to live in oneâ€"especially exâ€"servicemen who returned to find all other, available" housing either occupied or placed out of h‘s priceâ€"br acket. We mention this, not in protest .â€" we feel that the Wartime Hcusing homes are good value â€" but because we feel that it is a point which will soon have to be faced by Wartime Housing Limited‘s administrators. For when applications for this type of housing were sought here, the prices suggested were about $10 lower for the five and six_roomed houses. The increased rents are justified by the cost of materials and the construction of basements. But if exâ€"servicemen cannot afford them, we had better face that situation now than later. _ The situation in North Bay, may, or may not, indicate what will happen here. Out of several hundred of those who first expresâ€" sed a desire for Wartime Housing homes there, only 83 had made definite applications up until Wednesday. The community Xâ€"ray canvass to be conducted. here : in September under the joint sponsorship of the Lions Glub and the Porcupine Health Unit, represents an antiâ€"tuberculosis effort which merits the fullest possible support of every person in the Camp. To our mind, there can be no sensible excuse for not coâ€"operating in the survey to the full.â€" There is no cost to those who will be x.rayed, little inconvenience in the taking of the xâ€"ray itself and an untold benefit:to be derived by everyone Iorunat,e enough to come within the scope of the canvass. Tuberculosis, one of the most dreaded of diseases, loses all of its fearsomeness when detected in its early stages. Dread of the disease is, in fact, based on its aspect in advanced cases, and the only: reason that tuberculosis is permiited to reach an advanced stage is the‘failure of the victim to seek medical attention until it is too late. ? | You end yvour family may be convinced of your g20d healm But you may be wrong, dread‘ul‘vy wrong. Don‘t let your future be hampered by your own judgement of whether or not you may be afftcted by tuberculosis. â€" Give yourself the advaritage of the best of cpinions, backed by an xâ€"ray. Help yourself to an assurance of good health by.coâ€"operating with the Lions Club and. The Porcupine Health Unit in their attempt to stamp out tuberculosis in this area.
