Vital Want Fathers‘ Day on December 23rd Door â€" to â€" door â€" Salesmen, Coins and Christmas. qUuU One newspaper comments that the King m\ld Queen will come to Canada on a British warship. This will satisfy the fears of all those people who might have thought that they might come on a German or Swiss warship. Fathers‘ Day A committee of, fathers has been quietly and diligently scudying "Pathers‘ ‘Their chief form of inquiry was toâ€" ward some useful purpose for which this fad might be utilized. A All these fathers had received ties that had caused dray horses to scop dead in their tracks, and cigars that had almost caused them to stop smokâ€" ing. Since it was Fachers‘ Day, they were looking for some means of changâ€" ing it from a triblulattion to something at least mildly beneficial. The adjourned to do is Christmas shopping. Each father got inside at least one store. They were buffeted hither and yon by lady shoppers. They seized despserately at a piece o merchandise, only to have it taken from their hands. They waited patiently, first on one foot and then on another, for a clerk «o notice them, but none ever did. They finally, each and every wont home, wrote out a cheque and put a ncte with it for their wives to please go down and buy their own Christmas presents. Then chey met again to consider Fathers‘ Day and speedily submitted their report. The committee rececmmends that the date of Fathers‘ Day be changed co Dioc. 23. It suggests that on Dec. 23 all ladies between the ages of 6 and 65 take a pledge that they will keepâ€"ow of «all stores. Th> committee thinks that this would be a boon to fathers; would give the ladies an opportunity of paying their respects to all fathers; and would furâ€" thermore give all males an opportunity to buy a Christmas presers at a datse later‘than May 31. The Door To Door Men Signing himself "Ycours For Fair Play." a reader hauls this column over the coals. He explains quite forcibly how much he likes The Telegram, but how very little he likes the Henry comâ€" ments on "Iingrant Peddlers." Then h> gets down to cases for the door to daoor men. He saysâ€""Firms employing hundreds of door to door salesmen advertise in your paper every day, and men willing to work, rather than accept relief, earn what they can to keep themselves and their families. "The writer has ten men employed. all who were on relief rolls previously. These men are selling a good product, made here in Toronto, and are selling direct to )Lhe consumer. We feel we are rendering a service, and are not a nuisance desorving to have a dog ‘set on us‘." "P3.â€"Have you the nerve to pubâ€" lish this?" S.F.C. approaches the same subject from a little different angle. He says he likes our column tut remonstrates as follows: "I agree with you that the itinerant peddler, calling as h> does at all hours of the day, is not always welcome and there are other people and other hapâ€" penings in our daily lives which are also not welcome, but we do nct conâ€" sider ourselves ‘a listle bit crazy‘ beâ€" caus? we put up with them, and show a little sympathy toward them.

"Of course, I really do not think you do as you say, ‘set a dog on all per/â€" dlers,‘ that is not ‘playing the game‘ ac all, but, Thomas, my boy, if you do then you should be jolly well ashamed of yourself.
