The government has a housing exhibit at the Can- adian National Exhibition and it is attracting tremendous interest among the thousands who daily visit the big fair. Housing is a new term to most people. but it is hoped to make it a familiar one before too many months have slipp- ed past. ' It is hoped that the Ontario government does not stop its efforts when the 14 homes are completed and ready for occupancy. No finer or more worthwhile work could be undertaken by any government than the building of modern homes, equipped with every sanitary convenience, for the great body of men and women who are at present forced to live with their families in unsightly hovels that should never be called homes. The big factor in a proâ€" vincial-wide scheme is cost. The municipalities of On- tario are in no position to contribute to a housing scheme. The assistance they can give might be in the form of don- ating the land for the homes. But it is believed certain that the Hepburn Govern- ment does not intend to call a halt when the experiment is over. To do so would be to lay the government open to the criticism that they formulated the experiment as a sop to the unemployed and had no intention of extend- ing the plan to the whole province. If Ontario can achieve even 50 per cent. of the success attained by some Euro- pean countries in housing it will be sufficient. With a revival of trade and the employment of increasing num- ber of persons in industry, the time is ripe for the pro- vision of low-priced homes at cheap rental, well within the reach of those who need them. Erection of the 14 homes will provide work for car- penters, bricklayers, plumbers, and others in the building trades, and it will also bring orders to lumber and brick- yards and other allied industries. The government has specified that only unemployed men be used on construc- tion of these homes, and this will serve to reduce the re- lief rolls for as long as the jobs last. TOLERANCE Recently in the Hamilton Spectator the following edi- torial for young people appeared, and it is certainly wor- thy of study: "’u “Young people will save themselves many bitter ex- periences in life if they learn to be tolerant. The intol- erant person is generally so conceited, so wrapped up in his own conceptions, that it actually gives him pain to come across any one holding views that he does not possess. He frets and fumes Within himself and gives himself over to hatred, which eventually results in actual physical ill- ness. “People would not become intolerant if they were to remember that they cannot possibly know everything, for if they did they would be as wise as God. Other people know things that we do not know, simply because we have not had their experience. We should therefore beware of jumping to the conclusion that because the other fel- low thinks differently to what we do he should not be tolâ€" erated. We should beware of becoming narrow minded. Conservatives extolled and the mistakes of the Liberals denounced. Another young man’s parents are Liberals and he learns from them that the Liberals are always right and the Conservatives ever in the wrong. Home influence tends to make one a Conservative and the other a Liberal. When they meet, the yoimg Liberal and the young Conservative each wonders how the other got that way. But a little thought will show the difference arises from difference of experience. Instead of hating the other fellow we should try to understand him. The government is putting up all the money, some $35,000, and the municipalities are providing the labour from the ranks of their unemployed. The homes will be attractive and modern in every respect. The seven-room structures will cost $3,000 and the smaller dwellings $2,400. The pans from which these homes will be built are the ones that won first and second places in an architects’ competition recently. ‘ Reaction to the scheme has been most gratifying to Hon. David Croll, Welfare Minister, who is taking an act- ive part in the plans. This housing experiment is being watched with keen interest by other provinces as well, and on its success depends the future Well-being of a large section of the population. Some European countries, not- ably Scandanavian lands, have solved their slum problems in an effective manner. But on the American continent slum clearance and housing for the working classes has lagged far behind. “Consider politics for instance. A youhg man is brought up in a Conservatiye‘homp and h_ea_rs_ the yir_tues_ 9f the An experiment which may have far reaching and bene- ficial effects has been inaugurated by the Ontario gov- ernment. This week 14 sites for houses were selected in half a dozen municipalities surrounding Toronto. On these sites will be erected workingmen’s homes at low cost and the government Will watch to see how this test housing scheme works out before going ahead with further plans. “Unless We keep an open mind we are inclined to see things in a distorted light. When William Jennings Bryan set out on a campaign for the United States presidency, his friends tried to dissuade him from making an extendâ€" ed tour. His reply shows that he understood human na- ture. “I am going on this tour,” he said, “to let my friends see that I haven’t wings and my enemies that I haven’t thorns.” When we are for a person or thing we tend to overlook faults, when we are against, we are inclined to magnify faults. “The future will be in keeping of those who are now young. It is important that they should try to see things as they really are. for justice and happiness can only be established on truth. Tolerant minds not only make for happiness, they help to maintain security also.” Just what the government has in mind is not known. Obviously the construction of 14 houses is not even scrat~ ching the surface of the housing problem. But the prov- ince first of all wants to find out just how much these homes will cost, the kind of material they can get for the money alotted to each house, and numerous other matters which only the experiment itself can prove or disprove. One thing we would like to know: Would the quints have been as big a pulling card if they had been boys inâ€" stead of girls? J. Eachern Smith, Manager Advcthing Rates on Application.

DROUGHT BRINGS PROSPERITY TO HOLLAND MARSH GROUP The long drought throughout On- tario this summer has brought pros- perity to many settlers on the Hollâ€" and marsh land with soaring prices and expanding markets for the bumper crops of lettuce and other garden products raised on the rich moist soil of the reclaimed marsh, where the whole of Lake Simcoe is a reservoir ready to flow down in- to the miles of irrigation ditches. For weeks trucks from Toronto vegetable dealers have been lined along the road at Ansnorveld by the score as thousands of crates of let- tuce were shipped out to replace wilted crops in other centres. Many families worked until long past sun- set to meet the demand. P'rofitsi have been high for many settlers so far this year, and the celery crop which will be harvested soon prom- ises to be about the best yet, ac- cording to gardeners. “The development here at Ansnorâ€" veld, is proving to be a complete success and non-e of us who came out from Holland has any intention of going back,” John Rupke, one of the first of the H‘ollanders to take up land on' the reclaimed marsh, told The Star. “Real money is being; made. We like Canada. All of us are going to stay and make a forâ€" tune. The drought has helued us more than hurting us. Although some of the top soil along the edges where ditches have not been put through yet has dried out. in most spots it is moist all the time from the water coming up to the surface. and in many places you can squeeze the Water out of the soil with your hands. It looks like celery â€" our big crop â€"â€" is going to be one of the best yet.” a half this year, while onions, cab- bages and carrots have also proved bumper crops. According to J. D. Nolan of Bradford, some growers have cleared as high as $500 to 3300 an acre in a season on their crops. and merchants in the district are already feeling the boom this war. With only a small fractiOn of the 7,000 acres yet developed, there is room for hundreds more families to settle ‘on the project and success this year should bring an influx for next summer, according to Mr. N0- lan.

Barselaar, who is also enthusi- astic about the marsh land.
