llama Examiner id Baynela street Barrie Ontario SATURDAY serraamen mi Pm We Salute La bor For Their iiContribution To Democracy Labor Day is on Monday September statutory holiday in Canada and the United States This is salute to labor and time to consider what are it im licationsltlsnoLconflned to trade unlbns or what is known as organized labor contrary to much contem orary opinion Man people labor who not belon socia our in technical sense labor means any valuable service rendered by human agent in the production of wealth other than the providin of capital or the assumption of the risks which are inseplt arable from the responsible planning and direction of business undertakings Labor is not confined to tall or exertion but includes eople of great skill and intelligence ey may be employed by an individual by corporation or by government at any level It is natural and acce ted fact in the western democratic worlg that labor should re marked by the closing of stores and factories Some communities have pan ades and sports eyents Inreoent years it has been marked in Barrie by we of union members but wehava heard of any organized celebration for Monday next Generall it

has been reversed in the past 15 years This we dispute It is acknowledged that the formation and development of the trade unions has vastly bettered the lot of the work ing man and woman and rightly so ceive rewards in accordancewitbAtsTheyarecntitledrto the fruits of their productivity May is the date enerally selected by trade unions Socialist parties and labor organizations in general for pub lic celebration That date is observed by portion of the population in nearly every industrial country of the world including Mexico and most in Central and South America but not Canada or the United States May is an official holiday in Communist countries Labor Day is celebrated on the first Monday in September in the states and territories of the United States and all provinces of Canada It dates back in oth nations to1894 Celebration of the day is participated in by all classes Problems Of Not labor but leisure will be the great problem of the decades ahead it has een wisely stated Modern conditions with shorter work ing hours have created situation where the attention of economists is being div elted in some art from the nations youth to the nations aged Significant of thenew trend is the fact that Deputy Minister James Band of the Ontario Department of Welfare in his annual report devotes more space to the aged than to any other single group and for good reason He produces fig ures which show 201per cent increase in the proportion of men 65 and over ijwho were retired from work in 1950 ov ner the proportion retired in 1900 And Iby 1975 it is estimated the proportion of itsenior citizens who are retired from work will increase another 1d per cent to 70 per cent In other words only hree of every 10 men over 65 will con tinue working This creates serious problem which ghas already been too long neglected El derly people manygtof hem active in lb tilm1er and body havenothing to do owhere to go their time and their tal rents are wasted and their idleness robs lthern of the pleasure of retirement Idleness is cross to hear at any age Mr Ban said in his report but GRASS FIRES IN AUGUST Evidently grass fires werea climan Eoccurrence in Barrie

of restraint to enable production to catch up with But thatllnabort term measure When it has achieved It objective his Ilm is to have ready longterm plan for improving living stand ards creating price stability and avoiding recurrence of periodical crises INVITE GROUP Towards that end Mr Lloyd is asking the leaders of indust ry and the labor unions to take part with him in an ax aminetion of the countrys pros pects for at least five years ahead and to help him in planning the economy so that production and consumption are in balance The Trades Union Congrcss will represent the Labor side On the employers side will be the Federation of British In dustries the British Employers Confederation the National Un ion of Manufacturers and the Association of British Chambers of Commerce The first talks are scheduled to take place at the end of August and if the cooperation sought from both sides is forth coming this group could be powerful planning body LABOR GETS READY Meanwhile the Trades Union Congress is doing some econ omic planning on its own so count It has let up com mittee of 16 members to con duct molar review of every aspect of economic policy This is the first time the TUC has undertaken such review slow it produced massive reports on postwarreconstruction in 1044 and 1945 Significantly enough these reports formed the basis on which Labor won the 1945 general election The present review has two main nblectlvss to enable the run to match the governments longterm measures with some of its own and to equip un ion officials ith the knowledge and inclination to cooperate in the management of planned economy While this study has not pro pressed very far as yet an ough has been done to make it possible that Selwyn Lloyd may reap some benefit from it consulta on andem players He already knows that he can expect no support for his wages restraint appeal But on the longterm picture the Trades Union Congressle at least be able tomake es of improving quality

alrilnuJaya been demnndlng for long tlmq They are very happy at the idea which was forced on the gowmrnent by lheheavyjbsi iv sea which were being sustained by these airports under the min may of transport and civic av in on The lutwwned Iihi ports which serve the main centres of population will be turned over to the local auth oritles for management Negot iations have already started Mammal They will start soon with Bournemouth Cardiff Belfast Glasgow Edinburgh and Aberdeen An agency may be appointed to manage nine air parts which serve the remote parts of the north and west of Scotland These alrfields which are unlikely ever to be profitable are essential to the economy and social welfare of their areas WILL TAKE TIME it is not expected that all these changes can take plat overaight There are many leg al complexities to be overcome in connection with airport prop erties The new authorin must be set up before any oftho property and leasehold transfer can be made This will require parliamentary legislation for which time will have to be found on the House of Commons program The most optimistic guessat the moment is that it will be from two to three years before control of the main airports will pass from the ministry of aviation to the proposed airport authority N0 US COAL IMPORTS Welsh miners union leaders ara jubilant at decision of the government rejecting an ap

LAttorney GeneralKelso Roberts as PC leader Mr Roberts WANTS the job His desire is second to none But whether he will get it is another question One would say his chances are not good On the credit side Mr Roberts first of all has dedication This mining lawyer now in his 605 is devoted public servant WORKS HARD He is tremendously hard worker And he is battler stubborn obstinate fighter who never really gives in He can handle tedious work and detailas he showed in re vising the Companies Act and in other similar Jobs he has done around here lie also is at least willing to be imaginative He tries to be showman and to be different Also he has an extreme is an asset or liability can be questioned RECOR POOR lhetl13fldMrrEo berts1r record shows not much toiustify him as leader There has been little to indi cate he would be able either to meet problemr or command the loyalty of party members The biggest problem he has tackled has been highway safety And though this isadmittediy tough
