plenty of food and water sunshine and shade and spacious enough that each could have his own comfortable place in it to rest fur their own good they were re quired to obey their masters direc tions and do the tasks he gave them you would expect them to have a very happy life if you- had never known anything about donkeys the work that their master and owner had for them to do was in connection with a vast enterprise that of building and furnishing a place so great and wonderful it was beyond the imagination of even the wisest donkey to understand more over 1 know you will find it hard to believe this their master had arranged for all those who loved and obeyed him to become some thing much better than donkeys and live in this beautiful home when the time came for this project to be completed instead of accepting this kind offer and living and working in per fect harmony and in accordance with their masters rules a great many of them acted as donkeys do and did quite the reverse the first tiling some of them thought of was to crowd as fast as they could into certain sots in the big field in which they thought they would find something that suited their taste better than the place alotted to them in the pushing and fighting the weaker ones were hurt and some went hungry and it was much harder for them to be clean and healthy it would be impossible foi me to recount all the bad behaviour some refused to work or to allow the rest to work some who started out to draw their loads balked and kicked and refused treat such as he so often delights to give the little donkeys head there was a was down but when she looked up it was a bis ihe thought the masters smile fot 5 her was both tender and amused you were worrying about how the work would ever get done werent you he asked she nodded and did you really believe that if donkeys didnt plan and build and lake care of my work it could not be done no not quite but the mightly force of niagara is but a grain of sand on the sea shore compared to the power at my command the knowledge of all of you put together is just nothing compared with what is in the mind of the masterengineer who is in charge of all these affairs it is cer tain he will bring all to a successful conclusion he said do not fret little creature 1 know you love me and the way to please me is to go back and do what i ask you and leave the rest to me then she felt quite rested and eager to uo a lot more work maria is like christopher robins poohbear who you remember was a bear of very little brain and soon forgot things so the little- donkey asked me to write this down anna maria brown the xd home town frstamuf 5s commands quite a number had entirely different ideas of the way the work should be done from that of their owner if you looked at some parts of the field you would see such shocking conditions that you well might wonder at first if evervone had gone mad and no one was carrying out the great purpose you would find though that scattered singly or in groups were many willing and obedient workers they were not alarmed for their own safety for they knew their master cared for and protected them from harm but they were alarmed and distressed at the dis obedience and lawlessness which hindered the progress of the build ing one of the donkeys was a little grey one named maria the work which the master had given her to do was not too heavy for her and she enjoyed doing it she was happy in her masters care and especially greatful that the tasks lie gave her were in a quiet place among those she loved but sounds of discord and cries of distress penetrate even the sheltered nooks and this little donkey couldnt shut them out she tried to but they kept on getting louder and inter couple married g5 years born ninety years

it they had blueprints and were fully equipped to discuss the whole set up with the minister they re port he is keenly interested in exports and appeared enthusiastic fered with her work first she was about the proposal he said they bewildered and then she was would have a reply in a week or less and then she angry she looked around and around until she felt quite giddy and her head ached some of the donkey not really vicious were pulling and pushing the others getting the harness broken or tangled some were destroying if the dept of health is donating to such projects the committee in charge of soldiers recreational hall in stouffville might get an idea from the information here given that would help them in raising what others had built up some ofjf for a very similar purpose her friends were burdened with many times their own share of the load one morning after listening to jim hunter oh i mean after she had heard a list of things that took place she went to her master why she cried do you let these things happen why not destroy all the wicked and disobedient don keys right away the master said some of my reasons for doing things are so far removed from the understanding of a donkey that it is useless to try to explain them one thing i can tell you each donkey when the choice is presented must decide whether he will obey me it is only those who love and serve me who would be suitable to live in the place i am building if there is to be freedom of choice the results of the choice must follow whether good or evil maria went back to her work but many questions still

kind of work now an unemployed man is one who cant find a particular kind of work he prefers in the place he prefers at the wage he prefers in vancouver for example there are something like 10000 unemploy ed men and women yet strawberry growers in the nearby fraser val ley cant gel enough help to pick their s3000000 crop the berry growers could use 5000 men and women but the response from vancouver is small as a result hundreds of women are being brought in from the prairie provinces to pick the ber ries with the government paying their fare meanwhile vancouvers jobless stay right
