Salty was aznared bv the trans- fommtlon. "You -—you do look like me," she adsnltted,

"Of coilrse. I've done this sort. of thing on the screen. It isn't hztrl. I'll be you and you'be me."

"It won't be so easy for me to be you," argued Sally. "It. will take more than clothes, make-up and n. hair-do."

“Yes, it will take n little more than that," Tonia agreed, “bu: I'll coach you on what to say to people and how to act. Listen —I'll be your secretary, so that I can be giving you litzte tips all the time. It will be fun, Sally! What. do you say?"

Sally hesitated. “If I was only sure I could do it . . . ."

"Of course you can! Look -you need a job, don't you? You don't want to have to go back to Midvale and marry that man, do you?"

“We kn;w Pl‘."=l(l9lll Rozsevelt wants it...but 1 don't wast. to see this crtuiltry placed in the p Sltkcn of cuddling into the bcsom of the United States," Senator Meighezi sai .

Government leader Raoul Dari- dllrand said he had not. expect- ed to be called upzn to defend the St. Lawrence waterways agreement because it was not a part cf the bill bcfrre the chambcr. He said he had always been in favor of the St. Lawrence project in principle, and so had the Conservatives who had signed the 1932 agreement.

"The burden of the Pxlpinfflilllfé will be on the shoulders of the United States." he said. Crliuda would supply some $40,000,000.

“Canada w.ll have to provide at least $l50.000,00." interjccted Sen- ator Meighen, M's; of this would fall on Ontario but Ontario was part of Canada.

"Ontario wants it." replied Seri- ator Dandurand.

Ontario's Position

Ontario was not objecting, Sen- ator Meiglien said, but that was about all that c uld be said. On- tario did not need the power.

The Conservative leader said that -whi1e war raged fierczly in Blatain, Canada was maintaining thousands of soldiers at home although pub- lic men on this continent knew that if the United Kingdom fell this country wvuld be left. ‘a pris ner- himgry and fed through prison bars."

It would be five, six or seven years before the St. Lowrance project was completed, Senator Meighen said, Yet the Government was undertak- imz it in a year which was expected to be the most fateful in the world's history.

The appropriation b‘ll for $1,300,- 000,000 was not only large but formidable to the degree of being "startling."

"But for ihe=e features, however challenging they may be, no worth- while citizen of Canada. shudders or shrinks," he said, "Whatever the cost, the work must be done: the eoet must be paid; the suffering must be endured: th; principles of honesty cnddecency of life must be vindlcat ."

The direct and indirect cost of the war in 1941-42 was estimattd at approximately half the National in- come.

"Canadians will be very fortun- ete" he sold, "lf they are able to sustain the burden of this war vic- toriously and retain aslythmg like half of the grand total of their in- wmcs.

"I do not know that I ever wit- nessed a more universal willingness to surrender anything and every- thing and contribute to real war effort that I have witnessed in thfs struggle."

_ This column is conducted by Federation Committee in charge:

About thirty-five years ago e rec- tioriman on the railroad worked few one dollar e day. To-day he re- ceivea about three dolls-m and forty cents, or between ten and eleven hundred dollars s year. ‘Prue he works eight hours a. day, six days a. week and has few holidays. The average pay for rural one-room school teachers is $445. per year. His hours per day in the school are five, but the conscientious teacher puts in his three extra. hours per day correcting work and preparing for the next day's les- sons. His holidays are arranged not so much for his benefit as to suit the convenience of the young pupils. The point I wish to make this. The teacher must subsist for the year on the salary received and from the nature of his work he is not in a. position to eam extra pay. neither is he responsible for the arrangement of the holidays. Now, I ask would our section-men be willing to work for $445 per year? Most certainly they would not nor should one reasonably expect them to, for $445 is woefully be- low the standard set for a decent living wage. Even a ccmmon fann laborer, when we add to his wages the board he would pay at the rate charged teachers. receives more than that, and so he should. Our truck- drivers and baxbers are in general, better paid than our teachers. Why? Because they have unions which set the price. when we get a hair- cut, we pay our 35 cents without any question asked. So it is with other profesions on P. E. I. The union sets the price, the members abide by the rules of the union, and the public pays the price asked. [Our educational officials, our Gov- ernment members, and the ordin- lary man in the street will admit that we are inadequately paid, but [due to a. surplus of teachers, they had us at. their mercv and set the jnrfce.

We teachers are not asking for too much. We are only asking for a decent living wage. This is but just, and we are determined to fight for this until we t it. It remains then for the ran and fill of our teachers to get strongly be- hind their union and to support it. 100 per cent in its efforts to have removed this stigma. from" the fair name of our province.

One of tihe worst fee-tutu of our present educational system, as pointed out by our Superintendent in his 1937 i-eportfis that many re-

ard teaching as a stepping-stone i.» some other profession rather than as a profession in itself, and lie goes on to say that our great need to-day is an adequate pro- spective salary. In other words, in order to get the maximum from our efforts in educating our youth, leaching should be made a pro- fession, and there is onl one way to do this -pay our te ers a. liv- ing wage with increases from time to time as their liabilities in- crease. In conclusion I quote a passage from C.T.F. Bulletin, No 9 "To hope that the dutv of Education in Demo- cracy can be fulfilled while 20,000 or so of our young teachers in rural and village schools are getting the rcwest deal in the country is simply fantastic. It isn't. even wish- ful thinking -it isn't. thinking at all. We invite any person who ex- pects to transmit the values of Democracy to the rising generation through the medium of an ill-paid teaching profession to try an ex- periment. Let him hire a few starv- ing men to carry perk-pies from t/he bakery to the corner store; and let him. an route, _t.ell them that. theirs is the proud and sacred privilege of bringing to mankind the nutri- ment. without which Civilization cannot stuwive."
