Mr. Hays' Kind Oiier

With the long wmter evenings setting in pretty soon. life on the farm will slow down and our farm- ers will have more leisure than they have now to give consideration to an offer recently extended to them by Agriculture Minister Harry Hays. Mr. Hays said his department will write to every farmer in Can- ada and invite any farmer with a problem to write to him personally. . This opens up a wide field for epistolary activity. We never heard of a farmer who didn’t have prob- lems. and the difficulty will be to select the most pressing one out of the lot before setting it down on paper for Mr. Hays‘ personal con- sideration. and sending it. post free to the minister at Ottawa. If one has a typewriter it will save a lot of time, for Mr. Hays will like- ly have to write back for more in- formation and it may take the ex— change of half a dozen letters to clear up all the fine points involved.

Then. of course. when he‘s got one problem settled there's nothing to prevent the farmer from start- ing on his next worst problem, and getting it straightened out with Mr. Hays' friendly help. That may take him into midwinter. There should be. time enough left to dis- pose of three or four more problems before Spring. What a. pleasant and profitable way to spend the long cold evenings. when there‘s nothing else to do but feed the stock and sit by the fire!

But graver considerations inter- vene at this stage. How is poor Mr. ,Hays going to bear up under all this work? The Calgary Albertan has pondered this question. with disquieting results. It figures that if only one per cent of the 481,000 farmers in Canada reply to his in’ vitation. in one month the. minister will have promised to reply to 4.180 letters. This works out to better than 160 letters -a day. that before his experiment. is over he will have to devote many more hours than the 10 he has said he is willing to put into whatever farm- er-correspondence arises from it.

It looks as though a good many of our farmers are going to be dis- appointed in their expectations over this offer after all. Perhaps, in the _,.;circumstances. they had better con- tinue trying to figure out their own answers to their problems. If they get a helping hand from Mr. Hays. ‘well and good; but they’d better 'not bank‘on it the way we said at itbe start.

Council, to ensure the abandonment . I of the disastrous policy of apartheid

of the South African government."

Whatever the legal merits of the case. few delegates accept that the executions were without political im- plications. The three men were con- victed in March of murdering a state witness in various sabotage trials, and of sabotage. Anti-apartheid supporters in Britain as‘well as the United States protested the execu- tions. Appeals were made to the General Assembly. the Conference of Nonaligned Countries. the UN African group, and the Secretary- (leneral personally. but without avail.

South African spokesmen are indignant that UN bodies could “condone assassination on political grounds." They fake it as an in- dication of “the extremely danger- ous divergences from the tradition- al norms of internatioonal morality which are developing in certain'UN circles." Which goes to show that there is little prospect of recon- ciliation between the two sides on this issue. and that other nations as well will be dragged into the con- troversy.

South Africa has already quit the Commonwealth because of crit- icism of its racial policies. It seems determined to go its own way re- gardless of what the United Na- tions may say or do. But this. one fears. will only be postponing the day of reckoning for a nation that has failed so lamentably to read the handwriting on the wall.

Connmg The Lesson

Only now are the implications of Monday's federal by-elections in On- tario and New Brunswick being brought home to the two major political parties. neither of which has any cause for rejoicing at the results.

Publicly. the Liberals profess to be satisfied with having held West- morland with an increased major- ity, even if they failed to capture Waterloo South from the disunited Conservatives. Privately however, they are concerned over their fail- ure to take that riding from the New Democrats. The NDP vote was higher by more than 5.000 than in 1963. and much of this represent- ed disaffected Liberals. As for the Conservatives. there was not the slightest indication that their stand on the flag issue evoked any sig- nificant response in what is regard- ed as the heart of Ontario's Red Ensign territory.

It would seem. in the circum- stances. that NDP Leader T. C. Douglas was right. in claiming that the Waterloo results indicated pub- lic impatience with the performance of both the big parties at Ottawa. And for this. both the big party leaders must share responsibility. Mr. Pearson must. see now that his decision to force the flag issue on Parliament at this time was unwise, but he had committed himself too strongly to turn back. Mr. Diefen- baker’s summer-long effort to cap- italize on this blunder has been re- sented across the country. as ob- structionist tactics out of season.

It has become impossible, now, to make any sober assessment of the issue on its merits. The waste of time involved has disrupted the business of Parliament and put the country in the sourest mood it has been for years. And according to Ottawa commentators. the evidence of this mood is beginning to im- pinge on the consciousness of t h s most obtuse party strategists. If it succeeds in dampening both Lib- eral and Conservative enthusiasm for an early general election it will be a blessing in disguise.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Four friends of the late Ian Fleming. whose hugely successful James Bond stories allowed him to leave an estate of more than $900.- 000, should have no difficulty ac- ceding to their benefactor’s lust wish on their behalf. Mr. Bond left them $1.500 apiece. and hoped that within 19 months they would spend that sum "on some extravagance.”

AUTOMATION PROBLEM

1

People Need Work To Be Content

As a means of offsetting file i job-destroying effects of auto-1. malion. Dr. .1. AS Evans. asso- i ciate professor of history at Mc- I Master University. has suggest» cd that the federal government reduce the work week to twenty to lhirty hours.

At first sight such a simple I solution to the problems we i sented by modern technology might appear to have some lag- ic and-appeal. Make-work solu- tions— part of our inheritance I from the dead or dying lndus- ‘ trial .‘lge— become mere pan- aceas.

it may be that our thinking is upside down. lhal it is not work in the future that will be the linch-pin of life. but leisure. the abundance of winch might pro- vide terrifying problems in a society that has nol been educa- ted to use it properly.

DISTURBING THOUGHT i

What will an individual do ' with a life in which work is nom- inal and leisure so extensive : that it becomes as frightening ‘ as the "vast acres of time" es- sayist Charlcs Lamb found on his hands when he retired? II is disturbing to think that these hours would be largely s p e n l watching professional athletes and sports players on television ‘ screens or choking already over- crowded highways with cars go. in: nowhere in particular.

Even the least observant can see that the increased economic abundance and leisure of the . lasl two decades have played I their part in Nashua up old so— ; cial patterns. often with dubious ‘ effects on moral values and be- havior. Work is a therapy. inas- much as it. concentrates mind and body of the individual on something oulside himself. If, in future generations. work becomes negligible. what will take place as a therapy?

Living r most people is a compound of gainful employ- ment. activity and If the amounl of leisure is greatly increased it becomes a matter of the utmost importance how the individual will spend it. In- deed. future social order might depend on this alone. ADJUSTMENT NEEDED

If people are to be paid for leisure rather than for work— and that seems in essence What Dr. Evans proposes—there is an obvious and immediate need to adjust our educational aims so that everyone will be able to en- joy I full and rich life rather

boredom.

While it is Important to allow everyone the means of sharing abundance as it increases. if. is equally important to remember that by solving one problem others. perhaps even more ser- lous. are created. The challen- ge presented by technology is

Caution WeI I Advised

Globe and Mail. Toronto

Finance Minister Waltcr Gor- *

don has provided us with some estimates prepared by his de- partment showing in round fig- ures how much each Canadian province contributed to federal finances and how much it got ack in a sample fiscal year I Mr, Gordon offered the figures with the caution thal many of them were the producl of assumptions and that. in any case. the calculations‘ were high- ly complex.

Th‘s is a warning that should

9 he heedcd by anyone who might . fcel tempted In use some of the

statistics as a club with which to beat another province. Ccr- tainly. there is nothing in the figures in support the idca lual Quebec is being milked for the benefit of the rest of 'hc coun- try; bul neither does it follow that Ontario as the bisgest con- tributor is the one willing horse in a nation of dead-beats.

To accept. the figures of give

the interdependence which mak- ‘

es one nation out of 10 provinc- es. would be provincialism of the grossesl kind. 0 n l a r i o

If the statistics escape miss use of ms kind. they still mighl prove most valuable to an expert group such as the led- eral- provincial fax structure committee. which is about to embark on a thorough study of federal. provincial and mumm- pa‘l financing.

Member the committee will no doubt be well able to ap- ply ihc findings of the Finance Department‘s reporl to own deliberations and to inter- pret them in a meaningful way. But. of course. if was not for them that Mr. Gordon’s words of caution were intended.

Back To The Woodshed

Ottawa Journal

Woodsheds are part of our heritage. The countryman lists them in the same category wun iohnnycake. buffalo r o b e s. kerosene lamps. the horse and buggy. Until the magic of elec- tricity and gas revolutionized country living wood was s be- sic part of the farm's economy.

There are those who remem- ber woodburnlng kitchen stoves and tail. nickel-trimmed parlor heaters. There are men who re- member the piles of wood in the backyard. the sawing outfit. and the splitting. It was a boy's work to wheelbarrow split wood to the shed, and to stack the oak. ash. maple and yellow birch in high tiers. The knotty chunks went into I pile for the parlor heater. And it was s lad's task. emphasized by sisters. to keep the woodboxes filled.

A long-used woodshed was a heady. pungent and satisfying fragrance compounded of as dust. bits of bark. splinters and

l debris. Mother wanted a special . section of split white birch or I cedar for a quick biscuit fire in = Summer. She wanted one sec- tion of oak and beech for 'i steady heat of Saturday baking.

These Isle Fall days if. gives a man a comfortable feeling of security as he looks at his wood- shed. He remembers the Winter days when he chopped the wood and the song of the saw as the wood was cut into lengths. Fore- sighled folks enjoy a feeling .li security as they survey their handiwork. and a farmer likes to stop a minute in the evening as he comes In with milkpail and lantern on arm and let the light play over the tiers. Wood. they say. warms a man twice— when he cuts it and when he burns ll, There are those who know that it also warms the heart just to look at a well fili- od woodshed on s crisp Autumn evening.

Dr. Theodore I. Vol Dolls:

The caption, “Arthrltlc? Move to the Tropics," caught my eye recently. It headed a synopsis of III article on the low inciden- ce of rheumatoid arthritis in a Puerto Rican community, Dr. Ricardo Mendez-Brynn and as- sociates surveyed the popula- tion and report a rate of .92. compared with 5.4 In this coun- try. Only 3,885 people live in the island ares (Gusynabo) and the study did not include other dis- esscs that have been more prevalent and equally dis- sibling.

There may not be many arth- ritlcs in Gusynsbo but this does not mean a victim will be cumd if he moves to Puerto Rico. Fur- thcnnorc. physicians in

There also are rumblings of a possible embargo on shipments of arms to South Africa. al- though Britain previously has shipped only these arms that it considers would be used for external defence ral'ler than in- ternal repression.

How an arms embargo would affect the Simonstown naval agreements under which the two countries protect the Cape ship- ping lanes Is not yet clear.
