Page 4 Monday, December 8, 1958 ---- 2%. The retiring president of the New York Academy of Sciences predicted this week that in the fairly near future automation fed by abundant nuclear energy would reduce the work week of 20 hours, The prediction is not at all far-fetched ~~ and the prospect Is ap- palling, 4 The scientist was undoubtedly think« ing of the Industrial work week, There are, however, many productive activi« ties which do not lend themselves "in any substantial degree to the process known as automation; these are activi« ties in which the human element pre- dominates, With the decreasing schedule of Industrial hours, there will be enor mous pressure for reduction of hours In other lines of endeavor, Clearly there will be dislocation and readjustment, probably enough to constitute a new in- dustrial revolution, There .is another aspect, however, that is at least as important. A 20-hour work week will mean an enormous "How Time Will Be Used. "In Shorter Work Week amount of time for leisure. A worker who puts Into his job the equivalent of less than three eight-hour working days will find himself with a great deal of time on his hands, How will this after-job energy and time be used? It could mean a population deman= ing more and more to be entertained, or a population growing restless and ugly through boredom, or a population using its time to improve mind and body in such fashion would flower with new splendor, Whether there will be boredom or beauty depends a great deal on what thinking Is done now about the future, We believe that governments, educa« tors, business men and labor leaders should be pondering the problem, A tentative start has been made at a few conferences on automation, but this is not enough, There should be continu- ing study and exchange of opinions, It is a co-operative task and duty, Mr. Howe And Education After 22 years as an outstanding po~ litician, the Hon, C, D, Howe is now serving Canadian public life as chan- cellor of Dalhousie University and he is stil] speaking his mind, In a recent public discussion of the challenge to the universities, Mt, Howe with characteristic frankness, disagreed with the:idea that every Canadian should be enabled to attend university, Only "ambitious and well qualified" students should be sent, he declared; and if they and their families could af- ford payment, they should pay, What is required today, he said, is men competent to think rather than to do or know, "Business needs specialists but it does not want the kind who knows nothing and sees nothing beyond the narrow confines of his specialty." The student must have an attitude of mind that will "try to see the relation of his immediate job to the work of his associates and to the broad work of the world." Students who graduate into the space age must have sufficient breadth of education to decide where society is heading. Man's increasing ability to ex ercise control over his environment pre- sents a new challenge to today's stu dents because decisions such as the rules governing the use of atomic ens ergy are made by laymen, not scientists, Mr, Howe made another point: "I also suggest that our universities should Impress upon students the prime importance of the mastery of the use of the English language. Words are the expression of thoughts, Most of our constructive thinking is done with the shorthand of words, To think to a pur« pose requires a clear concept related to each word, It is a sobering thought that each of us gives his hearers or his ruaders a chance to look into the Inner working of his mind when he speaks or writes, If the outward expression Is clumsy and vague, It ls pretty certain that the thinking is defective." When he recently received the "Mes sel Medal" for "meritorious distinction in science, industry and public affairs," Mr. Howe provided some interesting ob= servations about public and private en- terprise, He sald there was a need for both in the national development of Canada, "If our national development had been left entirely to private enterprise Canada would not have attained ita present statue as a nation, And unless govenment continues to take a lead by well-planned initiatives, guidance and regulation, it will not continue to devel= op as It should." It should be explained he suggested public enterprise be confined to cases where responsibility could not be di rected to private initiative and where private investment was not prepared to take responsibility, He does not believe government should not enter husiness in competition with private industry. The Problems Of Corn Anyone who seeks to understand why farm surpluses are a political and ec- onomic problem in the United States might well take a look at corn, the Christian Science Monitor comments, Twenty years ago the average har vest per acre in the U.S. was 27.7 bush- ela; this year it 11 50.4 bushels. Com- mercial corn growers have finally de- cided that these figures cannot be over come hy federal contre Last week 71 per cent of 250,000 growers in 28 states voted to abandon the 25-year-old plan by which acreage was restricted in return for price sup- ports, They did not completely abandon federal aid. They will still have a floor under prices--00 per cent of the aver age market price for the last three years or 85 per cent of parity, which« ever is higher. Moreover, most of them were already operatire outside the plan. Yet the vote marks a historic deci sion, It is a definite turn toward a free market by farmers themselves -- inci= {entally a direction in which U.S, Ag- Bible Thought Let not mercy and truth forsake thee, bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table. o: thine heart,--Prov- erbs 3:3, Cruelty and falsehood destroy us more certainly than they do the vie- The Oshawa Times T. lL.

Yet this decision provides no panacea for surpluses, Planting of more acreage next year may add to this year's 3,785,« 000,000-bushel crop, Hybrid seed, intense sive cultivation with better machines, and fertilizers nay keep the yield up. Most of the farmers who can increase their production expect to be at least as well off even with lower prices Meat producers and consumers should benefit by lower prices. And more corn Is consumed, less of the new crop will be added to the 5,000,000,000 bush- els now held hy the government, But even {if there is no promise that the surplus will be reduced, it will be a healthier situation te have corn produe- ed for use rather than storage. And there is a gain in the corn farmers' free decision to rely on their own rather than federal management at a time when booming per-acre yield render acreage allotments only a snare and de lusion, Perhaps it won" require another 25 years for this good sense to permeate other areas of American agriculture, tims of these ugly sina, The perfect pre- veative of these errors is treasuring mercy and truth as precious virtues, T know that my redeemer liveth and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. --Job 19:28, Job had an inner certainty independ- ent of philosophical proof.

I think I have commented upon each one of the many eriticlsms which should he made ahout the CRC, from its unnecessarily high cost to the taxpayers, to its phony argument that it safeguards "Canadian culture But T must admit to one serious emission The CRC and our daily news. papers combine to give us some information ahout the nature of the radio and TV fare offered to us each day. To read these printed programs, as- supplied by the CRC, is like sitting down in a restaurant, anticipating the pleasure of orderng a favorite meal, and being shown a menu which says just one word "Food without describing the nature of the fare offered So our newspapers printing the ORC programs tell us that the radio or TV fare will be "Alm" or "talk."

TV station says: "11:16 p.m, The Late Movie: Rings on Her Fin gers with Henry Fonda and Gene Tierney." TELL THE PUBLIC I believe one of the newly.ap- pointed directors of the CBC is an expert on cookery, Would she have got away over the years with telling her fans In the kitch. ens of Canada to "fix two table spoons of solid with four ounces of Haquid and cook (method un. snecified) for a period of time (length unspecified)" Yot, If that culinary expert he comes tarred with the CBC brush of nondnformation, that is how our housewives will In future be riven her "helpful hints en cook ery, The printed programs put out by the CBC are also entirely un. informative in failing to give in. formation about special broad. casts, such as the occasional wvent brought from overseas at groat cost to the taxpavers and substituted for the regular pro- gram, It might, for example, have heen the enthroning of the new pope, a once-in-a<ecade spe cial event expensively brought to Canadian homes.
