Cl 4 thoughts stand out. ide the key he pres- They seem to provide the key to t ent industrial crisis, which has been pro- ductive of so much unemployment, with its attendant grief and hardship. Boiled down into a few words, these two thoughts re as follows:-- : 4 That instead of man being the master of his modern machines, the machines have become the master of man. "That the primacy of the human and overlooked in the over-emphasis placed on » : spiritual side of industry has been entirely will readily agree * have, exte * human labor content in industry. rial side. ihe Wiel who believe in the Golden Rule with these ig Sager. ions. It is admitted that much © e ri unempoyment is due to the fact that man has Fertected Machines ith v ent, reduc to a very large ex ol he ny recently announced that it had Be its machinery to such an extent that it had reduced the manual labor oper- ations from twenty-two to seven. But it failed to make any mention of the propor- tion of employees who were dispensed with as 'a result of this change. This process, multiplied many times over, shows how with machinery displacing men, human beings have become a glut on the labor market, and, under modern methods of in- dustrial organization, they are ~ consideration. It would seem as if the basis of industry has changed from that of man power to " machine power. As a result of this change, employed. & would be far better v ig © - «, shortening it 1 with fewer employees. increased production has become possible Machines .prepon- derate to such an extent that production costs can be lessened by working them for as many hours a day as possible, so there has come an inequality in the balance be- tween man and machine, and between hours of labor and the number of men Under present conditions, it to have two hundred men employed for five hours a day than to have one hundred employed for ten "hours a day. That is elementary logic, and if industry in general could be made to see the value of such an arrangement, by labor hours and increasing staffs, where there is employment, the " gituation could be greatly improved. There is a grave danger that, in this . machine age, men are. also being looked . upon as machines, as pieces of equipment. »= That way lies disaster. Industry must learn El to realize that the whole aim of its exist- ence should not be to pile up profits for stockholders, but that it has a responsibil- ity to the human element represented in it, that there are spiritual values which are just as important as material values. All of this means but one thing. It means that industry needs to get back to the Golden Rule, and to do its share in righting gonditions by sacrificing, if need be, as a temporary measure, some of its dividends in order to keep up the standards of living .wwich have been created. Speeding Motorists fn a Jetter which appeared in The Times fast night, a complaint was made by J. W. ~ Watson, of King Street West, Oshawa, re- garding the great speed at which motorists drive within the city limits of Oshawa and in the outskirts of the city, where there is supposed to be a limit of twenty miles an hour, Parents of children who live in the outskirts of the city, on the highway, will be quick to vouch for the accuracy of the general charges made in this letter, for they know only too well that the speed laws are far from being observed in these gections of the community. It seems to be a recognized idea among motorists that the speed limit means very little. Motorists who drive within the nit of 85 miles an hour are few and far een, and on an open highway, with 8 or no traffic, considerable latitude is 'a ed as to the mileagé per hour, so 'long as the driving is not reckless. The 'game conditions, however, do not exist in the city or in the suburban area, where there are children going to and from school and forced to cross the highway, and where there is more danger of congestion than out on the open road. : Police officers charged with the enforce- 2 given little - ment of the highway and traffic laws are | very often criticized for doing their simple duty. There would be little criticism, however, if an example were made of some of the scatter-brained drivers who dash along city streets and along highways close to the city, without regard for the safety of others, and without regard for speed limitations which have been imposed for the sake of public safety. In such districts, the speed limit is meant to be observed, and even at the cost of losing a few minutes of time, it should be observed. When is Man's Work Done ? After penning a note, "My Work is Done. Why Wait?" George Eastman, kodak manufacturer and multi-millionaire, com- mitted suicide by sending a bullet through his heart. Methodically, he had made pre- parations for committing the deed which ended his life, and he was apparently quite satisfied that there remained no other tasks for him on earth. Yet he was mistaken. No man has the right to say that his work is done while there remains breath within his body. Only the Creator of all things has that prerogative. Only He can say when a man has finished the tasks for which he was placed on this earth. Only He knows when the usefulness of any man on earth has come to an end. What right, then, has mere man to take it for granted that his course is finished, that he has done all the good he can do in the world. None of us knows what tasks lie ahead. No one knows what the morrow may bring in the demand for a duty to be done. It may be that at the time when we are most satisfied that we have finished our work, the Ruler of the universe has other tasks in store for us. How much wiser -it is, then, to wait for the final call to come of its own volition, to wait for the tasks which will present themselves unfailingly to those who can see them when they come. The philosophy which led George Eastman to end his life is not a good philosophy, for it takes for granted that God has ceas- ed to interest himself in the individual, and has no further use to make of him, which is contrary to all conceptions of the place of man in the universe. Editorial Notes Japanese troops are now being sent home from Shanghai. So long as no others arrive to take their places, that is a hope- ful sign. Governments of today should remember that he was a wise man who said that the road to political oblivion is paved with promises of serious consideration, Sm ----, If the theatre owners ever took it into their heads to go "agin the government" on account of the amusement taxes, they would have a powerful political weapon at their command. The medical health officer says that there are, officially, no cases of severé influenza in the city. Scores of sufferers from the malady will be glad of this assur- ance that their complaint is entirely un- official, and therefore does nat exist. | | Other Editor's Comments THE IMPERIAL CONFERENCE (London Times) The 1930 Conference was handicapped from the beginning by the insistence upon sectional interests It was too little recognized that the prosperity of every nation in the Empire depends on the pros- perity of the others. That Spirit is not yet completely exercised, and (as Mr. Dunning, the Canadian ex- Minister of Finance recently pointed out) the Ott, awa Conference will make no headway if it is to be merely "an aggregation of sellers" The way to make it a success is for each Government represent- ed to he at least a8 much concerned with what they can give as with what they can get, with what their country can contribute to the common pool of Em- pire prosperity as with the dividend it hopes to draw from that poal. BITS OF HUMOR The bore was talking about his ailments. "The liniment my doctor gave me makes my arm smart," he said. "Why not rub some on your head?" asked a bored listener, Policeman (to schoolboy) : and calf?" Schoolboy: "I don't know who owns the cow, but I have an idea whi owns the calf." but T have an idea who owns the calf." Schoolboy: "The cow." . BITS OF VERSE - UNTIL I never knew a human soul Could hold so much of grace; I never knew that love was all, Until I saw your face. Who owns this cow never knew the song of birds Such melody could bring, never knew what golden notes Until I heard you sing. never knew, I never dreamed, The sun could so beguile, never knew how fair its rays Until I saw you smile, never knew, how could I guess? How gay the world might be; But now I know that life is love Since you have come to me. ~A., M. Radcliffe. Eye Care and Eve Strain py C. H. Tues, Opt. D (Copyrighs, 1938) SAVAGE EYES Part "1" There is a popular belief that the exacting conditions of mod- ern life with its close work, arti. ficial light, shop work, movement and glare. are responsible for man's eye defects. This ig only the meaning read into certain arti- cles written and in 2 glight way misinterpreted. Our exacting conditions of to- day emphasize the existence of conditions of error apd make fit necessary for their correction earlier than would be the case if our life was not so exacting. 1 have repeated time and time again that modern life with fits strain falls heaviest upon the eyes. Glare, ete., have {ll effects and attack the eyes. The reason behind all this Is that the eye, being in a greater or lesser degree defective, is easi- ly strained, Examiners are always on the watch for whit may be considered perfect eyes and are struck by the fact that very few eyes are normal, When we find 2 perfectly normal eye it is no un- common thing for it to be hooked up with a mate very imperfect making poor team work when the two would work together, (To be Continued) WHAT OTHERS SAY A SOLUTION OF UNEMPLOY- MENT To the Editer of The Daily Times, Dear Sif:--The cit is out of the bag! The government has acknowledged they are drifting further into the mire every day with the problem of relief, By ex- perience they have learned that it costs $7 to distribute $2 and are seriously considering direct relief. After all these months of public condemnation of the dole they have at last admitted the futllity and expensiveness of pro- viding work, They would rather creaté an incentive to laziness hecause It costs too much! Costs who teo mach? The government! Is it their money they are spending? Perish the thought! The money is derived, or has been derived in the last analysis, from the same kind of persons they are reliev- ing. Then why worry about the cost, Is there a shortage of food? Emphatieally, no! Then what is the reason? No effect arises without a cause. What then is the cause why they cannot pro- vide an adequate program of work, or an adequate quantity of money? We are a gold-producing coun- try: we have all kinds of miner- als; we have water powers in aboundance; we supply. 756 per cent of the werld's nickel, The forests in the north supply our neighbours to the south with pa- per, One could go on indefinite- ly coralling our resources and yet our government is unable to provide work because it costs too tauch, Even the casual observer must realize they are not presenting the actual facts. Trere is some other definite factor or factors that are obscured. Why not bring the skeleton out of the cup- hoard! It is sufficiently obvious, .-even the man in the street is aware of it. There is no senti- mentality in. business and least of all in the business 2" government, Our representatives were sent to Ottawa and Queen's Park to pro- tect the, interests of the whole of the people, not a part of the peo- ple, Canada is a dcmocratic, not an autocratic country. Our sol- diers, fought for democréety as their ancestors did. Then why continually protect private inter- est? Why continually conserve the rights of property? Our Prime Minister says we must impose more taxes, closes his eyes to the imcome tax payers, and says we will impose an increased sales tax, The parties who can pay are cxeused, and the persons who can barely supply their needs are burdened. This savors of class iegislation, ard class legislation f# dangerous, The few are being protected at the expense of the many. Is this the time, with the world in ehaos, when men ready, willing, and anxious to work, have privation staring them in the face, when families are being avieted, and life's savings van- fshing overnight, to still persist in protecting the few who have at the expense of the many who have not? Since confederation, one third of the value of our natural re- sources have been pledged for the benefit of private Interests. Why not charge the expense of relieving the unemployed by a process of taxation to those who are directly responsible for thie condition, All they paid the worker was wages and wages are only the bare cest of reproduc- tion of the energy they expended Why not be compelled to distri- hute some of the halance now? l.ven the herse {8 fed when the owner has nothing for him to do. What an Insane system we toler ate! permitting private interest to utilize the wage-earner so long as he is making profit out of him and passes him over to the gov- ernment or the municipality to maintain when he cannot And the government has to pledge further resources to these game private interests to obtain the wherewithal to purchase the sur- plus or unnaid labor to keep the workers alive for future exploita- | tion, He who hesitates {s lost. Y.et Canada sect a precedent for the rest of the world to follow. Charge the cost of maintenance to the wealthy, eliminate class distinctions, reculate distribu- ton,, reduce the hours of la- hor, produce primarily for use in- stead of profit, increase the stan- dard of living and use un the gur- | plus, All that ig needed is a few antiquated laws relegated to the | crap heap, and a few new ones gahstituted, We have golved the nroblem of production Let us fearlessly gelve the consumption.

By dealing tactfully with th. »arents of these children Big | B- ithers and Sisters can do much to lower the number of Court cases. "The work has been done, but not under a united effort, whereas if the Big Brothers and Sisters would meet together every so often the co-operation would be strength- ening," said Capt. Jarrett, favoring an immediate organization of the movement here and to have it af- filiated with branches in Toronto, New York and other large centres, Mrs. Williams, president of the Wo- m-n's Welfare League, gave the consent of the League to co-operate, Representatives of the Service Clubs suggested that a meeting of the men be called at a future date when more of them would be able to be present and that at least two representatives from every institu- tion in the city including the churches be appointed to attend. Until any further organization, Mrs. Leo Gray, convenor of the Big Sisters, under the Women's Weltare- League will act as chair- man, and any persons who will vol- unteer to act as Big Brothers and Sisters, will have their names added to the committee already a branch of the Welfare League. Capt. Jar- rett Suggested that at a later date a membership committee. he formed, one also for case work and another an educational committee, OLD TIME TEACHER DINES WITH PUPILS Toronto.--~More than half a cen- tury ago, Miss Annie Armstrong, a young woman, went to teach at the newly-opened Dufferin School. From the head table at the seventh annual dinner of the Dufferin School Old Girls' Association re- cently she looked down upon two hupdred of her former pupils, She taught them in the days when they had pigtails and "pinnies" when reading, writing and arith- metic were the serious problems of life. Now she sees them as middle- aged women, some with white hair, Miss Belle Thompson, the president, rang the bell---made from part of the original bell in the old school.
