“BUY AS USUAL” SHOULD BE SLOGAN OF THOSE WHO CAN When advice is given to the public to “buy as usual," there is no intention to include those who find themselves in Thursday, Dec. 18th,1930 bution of the money thus saved to charity.

No Town in Claybelt Can Afford to “Compromise” (From The Northern Tribune) This week-end is the date originally set for the “conference" at North Bay on the burning question of the route of, the trans-Canada highway through Northern Ontario. As a. prelude, vari- ous individuals and boards of trade have given exprwsion to opinions that practically resolve into aspirations for their own towns or cities only. If this _1 LL- is carried much further, the task or the l federal government in deciding upon a route will be made harder, rather than simplified, just as the divergen- cies of opinion are being multiplied ra- ther than unified. It has not been made clear what basis of representation at the proposed North Bay conference has been fixed; and if it had beenhit could not be adhercd to. doing justice to ail the cities and towns concerned. For example, it would be an easy thing for places like Sudbury and Sault Ste. “Marie to organize a “hurrah" delega- ltion in force to attend the conference and by sheer weight of numbers at- tempt to dominate the meeting and ferric a decision in favour; while on the other -’_----- igns are rat wanting that if the conference is held at all, there will be a certain amount of thimble-rigging in a preliminary way behind the scenes, followed by a concerted efiort to jam through an expressive of opinion that will affect to voice the sentiments of most of the North as to the best route xclusi've Ladies’ Wear Timmms, Ont. further, the task of the nent in deciding upon e made harder, rather ,, Just as the divergen- are being multiplied ra- fied.

It is not necessary to send delegates hundreds of miles away to argue with some other section about the matter, after all that has been said on the subject.

Modern Methods Must be Fol- lowed in These Modem Days. REGARDING HGURS, WAGES, AND UNEMPlRYMERI PlARG In discussing the present problems arising from unemployment, it should always be borne in mind that old and out-of-date methods and alibis will not suflice. Times have changed in the past ten or twenty years, not only inl regard to actual costs and living stan- dards, but also in the attitude of the public in regard to the responsibility of 1 executives and of governments. To-‘ day it is realized that the heads of gov- ernments and of private enterprises iowe particular duty and responsibility to the interests of the people. The old- time outlook on life is gone, for good or ill. To-day the people are not easy to reconcile when they are denied a share of their own money. That may be unreasonable, but The Advance does not think it so. In any event, it would be best for all concerned to recognize I it as a fact. This is preliminary to giv- ing an article from The New Liskeard Speaker last week. The Speaker ap- pears to suggest that a man who can not secure more than $2.40 per day in this North Land should thankfully ac- cept that amount. To use a slang exâ€" pression, The Speaker has another guess coming. The wage offered on re- lief work by the Ontario Government in this North Land is not a living wage and is a disgrace to those responsible. t is doing a good turn to the govern- ment to turn them from this evil‘ course. It is absurd to held that re-‘ ;ducing the pay will make the msney‘ !go further. On such logic, why not re,- duce the pay to 10 cents per day, and the unemployed would owe the govern- ment money? In earlier days in Tem- iskaming the costs of living were so much lower that no fair comparison can be made with to-dvay. In a word the whole matter resolves itself into this questionzâ€"“Dc-es the country de- sire its present standards of living or does it intend to turn back the clock fifty years? The Advance believes that if governments and corporations at- tempt to follow the out-of-date methods lcf evading responsibility the results will be serious indeed, especially for the lgovernments and corporations. L _ -_-Ln-- 3... V U.-----'â€"â€"" The Advance is very heartily in] agreement with, The Speaker that on government work or any other kind of ‘ work there must be discipline. The‘ work must be done. People who will not work fairly and honestly, are not deserving of much sympathy or likely to get any, unless the executives show poor judgment in their attitude to the public. The game should be played fairly from both ends, but the govern- ment or the corporation that takes ad- vantage of the need of men to-day to cut pay below the cost of living is not playing fair. This is what the Ontario Government has done by cutting the pay of men on the relief work from $3.00 to $2.40 per day. It is not a good thing for the men or the country to have men working at such wages these days. It is a bad example to set to. other short-sighted employers who seem to think there is only one way to make money out of business and that is to cut the wages of the men. The article in The Speaker is as fol- lowsâ€"“In our last issue we mentioned :he case cf a man who refused to work at ordinary work at 35 cents per hour, and we said he had a right to ;refuse the cfiel if he had a be tter job, but not crtherwise. Since then we have heard Lhe case of a man who refused to work with his team a: 60 39 is per hour. He said he would rather let the horses stand in the arable than work them at 11121., price, and we say of him as we :1 11d of the other man. But we are not going to blame the Government beâ€" cause‘ the working hours for the day have been reduced. Indeed. we believe ihat this was the proper course for the Government to adopt under the cir- cumstances, because it will give more work. or in other words, divide the work amongst a. larger number of unemploy- ezl. This idea was first suggested by the railway men in the offices; and we believe the plan was a good one. It alâ€" so gives the farmer time to do his win- ter chores. We very much doubt if any cf those who object to the wages being paid by the Government this winter were in Temiskar'riing between twenty- five and th'nty years ago. Why, at that vv ~- the roads during the winter to help out the farmers was never dreamed of. This system started first in Temiskam- ing on account of crop failure, and itt has been continued, and should be ap- 1 preciated. The Speaker was the first newspaper to make an appeal to the Government for winter work. Do not let us spoil what is being done for us by being selfish and unreasonable. Now, let us go back to those early days of settlement in Temiskaming. Far- mers were then glad to work at getting out logs fzr Ottawa lumber firms if all they got for their work was sufficient to feed their horses. We spoke to a farmer whom‘ we knew was getting very little for his work, and he said: “Well, ; I shall get the feed for my horses out of it." we know another farmer who cut land drew to New Liskeard 100 cords of {four-foot steamboat wood for the sum iof 3100. Yes. All he got was one dol- lar per cord, and some of his neigh- bours thought he was in luck, and said “he must have a big 152111 with Laroâ€" chelie." People of late years have been living faster than in the early days. and new that the sombre days have come they find fault instead of appre- tciating what isbelng done to help them. The Governments. and in some cases the Municipalities, are finding the money, and finding the overseers to Lime the ideavof asking: the Government to expend money on public works or on SIURY 0F IHE BHRISIMAS BASKH OF GREAT VAlUE A Christmas Hamper That Delighted a Child and Bettered the Whole Life of a Man. Told by a Toronto Newspaperman. (By J. A. m The Mail and Empire) A few days ago a. speaker at a social workers’ meeting here deplored the giving of Christmas baskets to the poor, saying they ought to get the money in- stead to spend as they liked, even if they wasted-1t. Let me tell one story about Christmas baskets. One evening just before Christmas not many years ago the writer was threading his way hrough the crowds on Yonge Street to catch a street car for home. A working man, perhaps 30 or 40 years of age, touched me on the elbow and asked for a word or two. He ex- plained himself thus :â€" “Last Christmas eve I sat in my shack in the Ward with my only little girl. I had buried my wife six weeks before and had [been drowning my thoughts in booze. We were waiting for supper. and the pot on the stove contained practically all we had in the house. There was hardly enough fuel to do us over Christmas. “‘What are we going to have for Christmas. Daddy?’ asked the little girl in a. tone of perplexity. I replied bravely that we were going to have turkey, plum pudding and everything nice, although I knew perfectly well we had only enough for our supper and breakfast. “I had hardly finished my optlmlsLlc reply when we heard a knock on the door. A" snow-flecked delivery man thrust a well-filled basket in the door, with my name on it. “The youngster exclaimed that it came straight from heaven, as she took one article after another out of the basket, danced around the room and laid them on .2 table. By this time I was crying like a baby. V “Altheugfi there was nothing on the basket to indicate its source I knew where it came from, and as you know I quit the booze and have since been making a. happy home for the two of “ And then he handed me a bill, and said:â€" “I want you to pass that basket on this year to someone who needs it as badly as I did a. year ago.” I did not look at the money at the time, presuming it to be a dollar. but on telling the story when I got home and pulling it out found it was a $10 mm It was no use to argue with the man the next day that he could not afford it. He was only getting eight or ten dollars a. week. His answer was that it did not begin to represent What he received in that Christmas basket. So now, when I am inclined to be cynical and talk like the gentleman who spoke to the Canadian Association of Social Workers the other evening in Toronto about Christmas baskets, I just remember that Christmsa basket and many others that have brought bless- ing to both giver and receiver.â€"-J.A.

However, most of us will not ‘be fooled by these premature Santa Clauses.
