9a Value of Recreation Recreation is one of the few things that bring all types of people together Thus recreation rekindles community spirit and community spirit is lost cause in many places today This was one of the many fine points dis cussed by Professor Charles Hendry dir ector of the school of social work for the University of Toronto in recent address in Northern Ontario city Prof Hendry made an excellent point when he showed how today people work with one group playwith another and have their own private home life Thus there are three sides to their personality and more and more people are coming to know one another less and less Community recreation helps to offset this It also offers something very important to humans the sense of belonging of hav ing something worthwhile to offer Recrea tion fills our need for adventure and gives us that muchneeded sense of security so lacking in the world today There is another extremely important aspect to recreation and one which civic leaders would do well to remember Prof Hendry stated that one of the first questions asked by industries looking for community in which to establish new branch is What are your recreational facilities Industry knows that good recreational facilities and programs are essential to morale productivity and profits If there are poor recreational facilities you find the industry looks elsewhere for its site Prof Hendry said And there is no denying his statements It may be well to point out that recreation is not merely the activity of an executive small group of people It is whole com munities of people doing enjoyable things together Editorial Notes Wives children and relatives were bene ficiaries of nearly 60000 life insurance pol icies in 1953 with total benefits of about $79 millions This information comes in an analysis of one months claims in Canada by Canadian Life Insurance Officers Associa tion Wives children and other relatives appear to be the directly named beneficiaries in more than 78 of all life policy death claims the Association says with wives and children alone probably accounting for just over $70 millions Federal authorities should insist that only butter be served ingovernment institutions it has been suggested If Ottawa is wise it will ignore thatadvice comments The Fin ancial Post If it took sides in this matter the next step might well be to bar citrus fruits tea coffee and lot of other foods that are not produced on Canadian farms Indeed there would be much sounder argu ment for banning these than margarine because the latter is produced in Canada though usually from largely imported raw materials But this idea of asking the Gov ernment to depide what we may eat or wear or buy to favor one group at the expense of another is all Wrong It is contrary to democracy and contrary to common sense How can Canadian farmers hope to sell their surplus production in foreign markets if they ban all trade in the other direction Make management pay through the nose the moment layoffs occur Thats the United Autoworkers remedy It comes from one of Walter Reuthers assistants at Chi cago meeting attended by Canadian del egates No worker likes to be laid off But do these union bosses ever consider that management doesnt like layoffs either With todays high breakeven points any waste of plant capacity can mean disaster Theres plenty of incentiVe for management to keep plant going full steam 52 weeks of every year as long as theres demand for its output be it shoes or cars or soda crackers The UAW haleng been wanting the guaranteed annual wage It wants to insure payrolls without suggesting of course any means to insure markets In fact its unrealistic idea would be one of the fineSt methods to make demand disap pear How could any firm afford to make model changeover to keep its market ifon top of all the capital costs it had to pay workers for being idle And what is man agement supposed to pay through the nose

school before completing the course might find it useful to draw their attention to the fact that one of every three persons in Canada now registered as seeking work is unskilled When the labor mar

lounge issue On June 30 the people of these communities will mark ballots for or against the sale of liquor by the glass at approved outlets The outcome of the vote is of course impossible to predict But its interesting to note that in Mountjoy township near Timmins the people voted approval of cocktail lounges only to have their wrshes turned down by the provincial government The reason for the refusal of the government to allow lounges to operate in the township was that it was contended by the government that in actuality the town of Timmins would be supplying 90 per cent of the patronage the yeararound What will the governments attitude be in the case of West Ferris and Callander assuming that the June 30 vote favors the lounges Will it be claimed that most of the patronage for these lounges will be supplied by North Bay And will the government refuse to sanction the lounges If there is any reason to think that such de velopment might occur then is it not foolish to allow the vote to be held in the first place Authorities must have known even before the vote was held in Mountjoy township that they were going to turn down the cocktail bars regardless of the vote She thing however the government must keep in nind when dealing with Ferris and Callander There is tremendous influx of touristsfrom May 15 to the end of August and most of these tourists come from the United States are accustomed to patronizing cocktail lounges in their own country and they would be favorably impressed by similar accommodation in this area There is no denying that North Bay people will patronize cocktail lounges in Ferris and Callander if they are opened The vote on June 30 of course might very well go against the lounge issue And that would be that But if the vote is yes then the next devel opments will be extremely interesting Air Tragedy at Moose Jaw Financial Post In the first wave of public emotion that followed the tragic air crash at Moose Jaw it is understand able that certain strong views would be expressed concerning the operation of training craft Typical is this assertion by the Calgary Herald There is absolutely no excuse whatever for any RCAF aircraft on training flight being anywhere within miles of civilian commercial airway wide path on both sides of all such civilian airways say twenty minutes flying time should be expressly forbidden territory to all RCAF training aircraft never to be trespassed upon under any circumstan cesil Had we had rigid rule like that and provided it was obeyed there would have been no crash over Moose Jaw There is no excuse for letting the fledgling stud ents of the air force come anywhere near the transport routesand the Harvard is pretty elementary craft But let realism prevail with re spect to the operations of fullfledged pilots Big as Canada is there is simply not enough mom to segregate completely military and commercial aircraft Virtually every flight by military crew in peace time is training flight even those across continents or oceans Military air training is continuous process for the most experienced as well as the novice There are always newer and faster planes to master and newer techniques to litealrn Thereis the everConstant danger of going Circling over some rigidly prescribed course in an isolated part of the country will neverproduce airmen capable of real defence They need far more room than that We cannot possibly squeeze them into relatively narrow strips between com mercial air routes We cannot ban them rigidly from flying over towns The risks involved are part of the price we pay for defence s9 Published Monday Wednesday Friday newerAreas WALLS President At The Wilson Building Post Office Sduare Barrie Ontario Canada THE BARRLE nxaumux bravura CHlTlIOKL

50 years service Reid is Moose Jaws sole blacksmith and apparenin there is no replacement in sight for the day he retires But Reid has no intention of re tiring jusi yet He started his trade at Holstein Ont near Owen Sound in 1902 He came to Moose Jaw in 1911 working in comp anyowned shop on the site of his present forge At one time he had two electric forges but he sold out in 1941 and returned to Ontario where he operated chicken farm for spell When he reverted to smithing four years later electric forges were scarce So he went back to handforge Mechanically7mindcd young fell ows are not interested in learning blacksmithing nowadays says Mr Reid sadly Welding is the big thing He operates only hand forge He claims the flickering and glare from welding tools up set and scares horses It used to be good trade at one time says Mr Reid In the old days he attended to as many as 17 horses 21 day Current cus tomers comprise dairywagon and few saddle horses Snake Handling Easy Expert Says Calgary Native CALGARY CPOhnrlie Ma honcy bites his nails In this case its not bad habit in fact its saved his life many times Charlies business is snakes poisonous and nonpoisonous man who romlps with rattlers and makes buddies out of boa con sirictors might be excused for chewing his cubicles while on the job But Charlie does it for dif ferent reason By tearing away the nail from finger the ruptures the delicate skin underneath Through this tiny wound small amount of snake venom can be allowed to enter the bloodstream After some years of this treat ment his body becomes immune to the poison and if hes bitten by one of his pets his resistance gives plenty of lime to get the necessary medical treatment Its vital trick of the trade and has probably saved Charlies life many times Hes taken 14 bites from poisonous reptiles in the30 or more years hes worked withthem gt For Charlie its been like father like son Mahpney senior used to take to the road with his snakes every summer going the rounds of the carnivals He did deeds of daning treading among the deni zens of the dirt and defying death by exposing himself to the fangs of doom Thats what the posters said Old Mr Maxhoney introduced young Charlie faceifonfiang with sion planting and two of them parsnips and salsifycan be harvested all summer and win ter It is important of course not to sow too much for sur and money and are usually wasted plus vegetables cost both work Take especial care with the greensparsley Swiss and New Zealand which are often overplanted In stead of row of each to divide row among the three willsuf flee for many families All are chard spinach among the richest of vegetables in vitamin and should be eaten often say nutritionists The time for planting all these crops is definite Sow seed of the hardy ones just as soon as the soil can be prepared Plants even of the hardy ones should not be set out until the danger of frost is over and that is also the time to sow or set out plants of the tender varieties It is not so easy to determine how much to sow because the harvest lasts from the time they are large enough to use until frost kills the plants This is an indefinite periodp but will usual ly average about 12 weeks To estimate the space sufficient to supply the table for this period multipiylthe figure given in col umn two of the accompanying table by 12 then again by the

themto get both an early harvest and the heavier yield which the slow maturing kinds usually give his first snake when his son was still youngster in Detroit Char lie soon adhered to the family mottoIa snake is Mahoneys best friend After his father died in 1928 Charlie came to live in Calgary For the past 14 years he too has been touring the carnivals showing his pets Job Has Snags An occupation like Charlies has other snags besides the obvious ones Life insurance companies do not seem to share Charlies confidence in his snakes Neighbors are apt to get discour aged from future visits when they are greeted by the sight of nine foot bull snake reclining under the oven in the Mulroney kiitchenu Not even the assurance that only harmless snakes had the run of the house and that the vicious var iety were kept under lock and key would encourage visitors Eventually Charlie decided to clear his apentment of snakes dure ing the winter months and buy fresh supply each spring This brought strained relations between himself and customs and express handlers who had to check the cargo Charlie prides himself on being one of the 10 known men in Can ada who milk venom from snakes fangs Ie cannot afford to be afraid when facing deadly diamond back rattler or cottommouth wetter moccasin He must be mas ter of the situation Ilhen he must anticipate snakes every move Third maxim is dont reach for the whisky bottle III doesnt cure the Wound Thing to do is cut the spot with knife and suck out the venom right away are daring enough to when bitten For Parents Only IETTEII T0 MOTHER
