Included in that 10.4 per cent., however, are the loaf- ers, who never have done any continuous work in good times, and for whom relief has been even more welcome than the flowers in May. It has saved them the necessity of tramping around the country in search of handouts. Ne’erâ€"doâ€"wells have shared in the country’s bounty along with the deserving unemployed. They are parasitesmpon those who would work if they could as well as upon the taxpayer, for they bring discredit upon the whole class of relief recipients by their laziness. They remind one of Jerome K. Jerome’s famous quip: “I like work; it fascin- ates me. I could sit and look at it four hours,” and of the southern negro who declared “A’hm not afraid of work, Ah kin lie down and sleep beside it.” The startling statement that 10.4 per cent of Canâ€" ada’s huge relief army never have been employed was made in the House of Commons recently by Hon. Norman Rogers, Minister of Labor, in a survey of national conditions. Of course,vthe greater proportion of this ten per cent is made up of youths who have come into manhood since the de- pression began, and who unfortunately have never been rible to secure a job, and who consequently have never known the discipline of work. Many of them undoubtedly have so degenerated in energy and ambition because of this that it will be years before they ever learn proper habits of work, even if given the opportunity. That is one of the great tragedies of the depression. The radial question should be definitely settled so as not to further hold back Yonge Street widening and Yonge Street development. If it is thought that there is any considerable sentiment in favor of discontinuing the radial service on account of the heavy deficits the question should be put to the peonle to decide the issue. The people of the North Yonge Street district voted to buy the radials and. if they are to be discontinued it should only be after the people have expressed their opinion in a vote. A vote of the people on the radial question now would decide the issue and leave the way clear for a Yonge Street develop- ment program As, we have so often pointed out in these columns the Radial question should not be allowed to drift. It is a question which should have the active interest of all our municipal representatives. The big hold-up as far as Yonge Street widening is concerned seems to be the uncertainty surrounding the conâ€" tinued operation of the North Yonge radials. There are rumors which persist that sooner or later the service will have to be discontinued because of recurring deficits on operation. As long as there is uncertainty as to/the con- tinued operation of the car line the Department of High- ways apparently does not feel justified in going”r ahead with the widening on the east side of the car tracks. The widening of Yonge Street from Steele’s corners to Richmond Hill recognized by everyone as an urgent ne- cessity appears to be shelved at least for another year. Then there is talk of a parallel road several miles to the west designed to relieve congestion on Yonge Street and if it is proceeded with and justifies the hopes of its spon- sors Yonge Street widening may be indefinitely postponed. In urging that the electric light commission investi- gate the possibility of improving the lighting of Yonge Street at Monday night’s council meeting Reeve J. A. Greene expressed the wish of the great majority of citiâ€" zens. Yonge Street in Richmond Hill at the present! time is not adequately lighted and a poprly lighted main thor- oughfare is a very poor advertisement for any town. Bright attractive lighting makes a good impression on the tho'u- sands who pass through a town during the hours of dark- ness. Poor lighting gives an otherwise attractive town a dark dingy appearance which is poor advertising. We hose the local commission will be successful this year in im- proving Yonge Street lighting. The Ontario Hydro and the local Hydro commission are to be commended on their enterprise in offering at- tractive inducements to hydro users to install ranges and additional electrical equipment. True the more equipment installed the more electric current will be used which is good business for the Hydro, nevertheless the inducements offered are attractive enough to interest the average con- sumer. The present offer is for a limited period and any- one interested in installing an electric range would be well advised to take advantage of the attractive terms now offâ€" ered. Electricity in the home is no longer a luxury; it is a necessity. The more electrical equipment there is in the home the greater advantage the people of that home will derive from their electric service. The action of the Hydro in making the installation and purchase of additional equip- ment as easy as possible looks like a step in the right di- rection.
