THE NEWS, SYLVYAN LAKE, ALBERTA THIS FRAGRANT SLOW-BURNING DIXIE SAVES MONEY FOR YOU/ Transient Youth Problem Again In recent is: ue of this column attention was drawn to the plight of that sizeable army of yourig men wandering up and down the country in vain search for work and, perhaps, in a minority of casts, hunting for 1 fief, when the situation was referred to as a national disgrace, coupled with the suggestion that some provision should be made to give them work and wage: It was pointed out that there is plenty of work that could be done with profit to the nation and the taxpayers and, in effect, that all that was necded was to connect these transient jobless men with this work. Since that time-these sugy tions have found confirmation in an article in the November 12 issue of Toronto Saturday Night written by A. J. Biliott, who not only points out the necessity of providing work for these wanderers, instead of allowing them to be made a shuttlecock between the municipali- ties and the senior governments, but omtlines in some detail the work to which they might well be put and the methods that should be adopted in carrying out the plan. Since Mr. Elliott is the Superintendent of the Toronto Men's Hostel and has had much experience in social work in the United States and Canada his suggestions are, not only interesting but carry with them the weight of experience and authority. Mr. Elliott adopts the viewpoint that the problem instead of being in- soluble has a relatively simple answer but if it is to be successful our theory must be changed from the opinion that the federal goyernment is attempting to control a national Uability to the conviction that we are) actively engaged-in-conserving-a national asset In making this statement it would appear that Mr. Filliott is reaching down to the roots of the problem, for, if these men were regarded as a na- tional asset to be conserved, as they undoubtedly are, it would not be very long before the demand that something be done to give them their rightful place in the economic life of the country, or at least a chance for it, would pe sufficiently vociferous to bring forth fruit. ee ee or Unskilled Labor Drama Festivals Amateur Theatric Rehearsi Amateur theatrical wad towns across Cs cd rehearsing. pli ut regional festiv: Dominion drama festival t Ny Ont., next April Festival governors are consider- ig appointment of an adjudicator for the yegional competitions but have not yet made a choice, Mal colm N anglish playwright and actor, did the work last year Prelimin: petitions will start early in Janu nd conclude in mid-March, Phe season will open in Kentville with the productions from Nova Scotia on Jan. 9 and 10, Prince Edward Island entries Will ke staged in Charlottetown Jan. 12-13 and the New Brunswick players will hold their festival in Saint John Jan. 16- 18 Dates of western regional fest yals have been set for Feb. -11 in Regina; British Colum-), bia, b. 15-18 Victo . and Al) perta, Feb, 22-25 at Edmonton. Tribute To Baling Wire Seems To Be Very Useful In Cases Of Emergency It's a pity that more attention has not been given to the significance of baling wire. Best sellers have been written about lesser subjects. With- out baling wire, how could the farmer have got along so well as he has? Think of the gates held shut, the sets of harness fastened together and) all the other emergeney repair jobs made possible by 1 piece of cast-off baling wire. Nor is the farmer the only one to profit by this source of) material, Automobiles, printing presses, coffee grinders, sewing ma- chines and who knows what else are running this very day just because a length of baling wire was at hand at the opportune: time, Some men even hold up their pants with the stuff. Crane, Missouri, Chronicle. Plays For Science linist Tests Instruments To De-) termine Tonal Effects The smallest audience in his career listened to a two-hour violin concert by Jascha Heifetz in the physics de- laboratory at y Harvard, As was stated before in this column there is plenty of work that can partment be done with advantage and Mr. Elliott not only confirms this statement University. Before Professor Fred-) in a general way but points out specifically some of the projects that erick Saunders and one assistant, might well be undertaken when he says the renowned violinist played for the Grandiose schemes such as the construction of huge public buildings or super-highways demand large numbers of skilled artisans and trained engineers. The country has not a sufficient number of these to fullil its normal requirements; and the result is merely to put a premium on the ser-) vices of such workers. But the little jobs, such as changing level crossings to grade cross- ings, providing passable country roads, eliminating the hazards of pedes- trians on highways by constructing footpaths; these, as well as such big; jobs as reforestation for instance, require a minimum of skilled workmen gnd a maximum of laborers. From all of them the general public would) derive as much benefit in the long run as the unemployed transients who) would be directly assisted thereby. Mr. Elliott suggests that the men be housed in comfortable and attrac: tive camps, avoiding the mistakes of our last terrible camp experiment , adding +2 important warning that the men should not be kept in such camps too long but that every effort be made to provide them with a definite program of education and as soon as possible graduate them into permanent Wwork through the employment bureaus scattered across the Dominion. In) other words, Mr, Blliott asks for a definitely co-ordinated program of tem- porary work, education and permanent employment and opportunity for r establishment as soon as such may be available. o 4 8 Effect On Morale While all of this is sane and sound, not the least interesting feature of Mr. Hiliott s plan is his recommendation as to remuneration, Pointing out that these men who Dave lost their municipal rights are offspring: of families and relatives who cannot afford to keep them, Mr. Elliott urges that they be paid, while engaged in such public projects, a minimum wage of thirty dollars a month and keep, of which five dollars is to be retained by the men and the balance forwarded to the nearest of kin. Apart altogether from the economic effect of partially or wholly lifting the relief burden from the taxpayers on the family's account such disposi- tion of a substantial percentage of the wages would have a marked effect on the family's morale if their incame was the earned wages of one of their number, instead of relief. 4s well as the chance to conserve its manpow chten the bur) den of relief that now falls so onerously on municipal taxpayers, not to, mention the restoration of morale and self-respect to innumerable borderline and r lief-accepting families the nation has still.another opportunity to henefit from the policy of work for wages, says Mr. Blliott, And that is the opportunity to provide education facilities to a group of its citizens who would benefit from such a program and who would eagerly avail them- selves of it. Such a program as that outlined by Mr, Elliott will strike a responsive chord in a good many breasts and will be approved not only by taxpayers put parents and relatives who have seen their young men fare forth in the vain hope of conquering the unemployment ogre and who are now being battered about from pillar to post, with hope dwindling the longer this problem remains ineffectively tackled.

The tuberculosis death rate in Saskatchewan has been cut in half during the past fifteen years among the white population. In fact, Saskatchewan has the lowest death-rate in the Dominion of Canada. Tuberculosis infection among school children has been reduced by 18 . 7 Since the preventive programme was commenced in 1928 more than 90,000 persons, nearly all children and young adults, have been examined at the expense of the CHRISTMAS SEAL FUND. WILL YOU HELP?... Christmas Seals have been sent to nearly forty thousand homes in Saskatchewan and the Christmas Seal Committee is asking your support.
