It also relieves stomach troubles. 50c. â€" $1.00 Automobile makers have great faith in their product. The tools they supply indicate a conviction that you won’t need any. Not much can be done till next spring, but a few experimental pro- jects will, here and there, be start- ed. The goal, however, seems to be worth working for. If 200,000 per- sons could be reâ€"absorbed into con- struction and allied industry, and as many more drawn into other indus- tries to look after the workers’ new needs, the employment problem in Canada would have practically dis- appeared. These obstacles are met in a small measure by the proposed legislation announced last week. Money rates, at least, will be cheaper. But the municipal and private interests will have to make some contribution toâ€" ward the other difficulties, it would appear, before a big forward drive can be expected. No wonder there are reported to be 80,000 houses short in Canada, and at least; another quarter of a million not: really fit to live in. In the first seven months of 1936 residential construction contracts aâ€" warded‘were valued at $22,300,000. In 1928 and 1929 the totals- at that time of the year were $85,600,000 and $81,000,000 respectively. The high cost of housing, the high cost of money, and the high level of taxation: these are the three big bogeys which have driven residence building down to such low levels. Another question is: will the munâ€" icipalities co'woperate by exempting such a man from extra taxation for a year or two at least? What holds many people back from improving their property is the knowledge that if they do, taxes, which are high en- ough already, will rise some more. Still another is: will the dealers in lumber and other raw materials in building, the trades unions and' all the other factors entering into the cost of a house, (to-operate by rend- ering their services at the lowest figure they can? (Several Obstacles) There are several “ifs” about the scheme. One question is Whether the average homeâ€"owner can afford to borrow money, even if he can get it cheap, to improve his present dwell- ing. If he is already carrying all the load pessible, he won’t be able to take advantage of the scheme, even with low interest rates. 3. An enlargement of the present Dominion Housing Act, so that it Will get under way and really ac- comnlish something. The farmer, at last, is being re- membered. Under the first two heads of this program, the rural resident is to be given the same conâ€" sideration as those who dwell in the cities. 2. A low-cost housing scheme is to be initiated, by coâ€"operation between the Dominion, the provinces and the municipalities. This will call for some governme’nt subsidies, as the average worker cannot afford to pay the rent of the kind of house he should have, according to studies made in various centres. (A Threeâ€"fold Plan) 1. To guarantee lending institu- tions so that loans can be made cheaply to persons wishing to paint, enlarge or rehabilitate their homes. The co~operation of municipalities will be necessary for it to succeed so will the help of the banks, the construction companies, and the wel- fare and service clubs of the coun- try. It is hoped to launch a fifty million dollar rehabilitation scheme. It was these considerations which led the National Employment Com- mission to stress this possible way out of the depression for Canada. 'And, beginning in- some centres at once, the idea is: Whether this is true or not, it is quite evident that if building activ- ity could be raised to its pre-depres- sion levels, work would be found for several hundred thousand people, either in the construction industries, or one of its allied activities, or in other lines of trade to supply the new army of the employed. By Wilfrid Eggleston Ottawa, Sept. 15.â€"The federal government has decided to launch a drive on unemployment by means of a housing campaign. The National Employment Commission, after conâ€" sidering the various aspects of un- employment in Canada, was much impressed by the fact that about one- half of the unemployed in Canada were connected in some way With the building industry. Some business leaders, in fact, say that only two major obstacles now stand in the way of complete recovery for Can- ada. One is, the discouraging low level of building activity, and the other is the drought losses of this summer Ottawa Spotlight Questions concerning health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184rCollege St., Toronto, will be answered personally by let- ter. Some of these wonderful things that were old in Plato’s day are new again today, and less considered by us than they ought to be. Let me urge all who have anything to do With primary, or secondary, or uniâ€" versity education to catch this new vision, this vision of sane, well-bal- anced, clear-thinking minds in heal- thy, strong, glowing, graceful bodies. l But these things are just a be- ]ginning. What I have mentioned are istill the negative phases of health, ;the vanishing of dirt and disease. ,It is a vision of Positive Health Sir George wants the Parliament and the people to get. He tells them :again and againâ€"and I wish he could tell every teacher, every trustee, ev- lery good citizen in Canadaâ€"that the. lorganized physical education of the [body of every child has a psycho- ‘logical purpose, a recreational aim, a mental and moral intention. a broad and wholesome and general educa- tional value. This is not a military ldrill on the Spartan plan, or the lMussolini plan, to train goose-stepp- ling cannon fodder, but all-round 'physical education to make fit and fine and well-balanced people, for the world‘s work, the world’s play and ‘the world’s salvation. ' For instance, dances are very valuableâ€"important enough to be .discussed page after page in a Par- ‘liamentary report. Dancing trains in control, in balance of mind and body, in poise, in ease and lightness of movement. It trains eye and ear and develops a feeling of rhythm and order. It arouses imagination and the creative powers. English schools simply cannot get on without danc-l ing â€" and swimming. Hygiene isi taught in habits rather than in. setl lectures. If it is true that playtime may be as high in- educational values as work time, and that recess periods may be as important as arithmetic les- sons, why is it that play time rests so little on the conscience of the teacher, and is so incidental in the day’s programme? A boy would not be allowed to take reading in class and pass up arithmetic; or to take grammar and cut out geography. We demand that there should be some kind of all-round-ness in his educa- tion. Then why should he be able to shirk all sports month after month, scarcely appear on the playâ€" ground at all, and no questions ask- ed? If Greece was right, and if England is right a bOy might almost as well pass up reading as pass up games. Games are of the utmost import- ance. Children who play well now will work well, and cooperate well, when they grow up. How many times have you heard that the Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton? Let me tell you that many finer victories than Wat- erloo, anti many better products than generalship, have been won on the playing fields of Eton, of Moose Jaw, Antigonish, Medicine Hat, Smith’s Corners, Lachine or Dau- phin. - BUILDING HEALTH IN SLHOOLS We have already said that the first duty of everybody who has any authority in schools, from superin- tendents down to janitors. and from trustees up to parents, is to see, first, that children are not harmed in body by the school routine, that is are not harmed much, and also that they are not neglected in their homes, but have a decent brealâ€"z. But that .is merely negative. Health is not rmerely the avoidance of injury and the absence of disease. Health is a glowing beautiful positive thing. There is a two hundred page report to the British parliament on twentyâ€" five years of building up of health Iin British schools. In the past quar- iter century, this report tells us, anaemia of girls has almost vanish- ed. Ringworm is steadily disappearâ€" ing. Blindness is being prevented. A verminous child is not to be found in school. Malnourished children are only one per cent instead of ten to twenty per cent, in the “better and imore prosperous” times. Heart dis- ease, ricketts and tuberculosis have been steadily reduced and the conâ€" dition of teeth is improving. An in- creasing number of open-air school rooms are provided. The general physical condition of the children is beyond all comparison with‘the past. By all these impr0vements children !have been rendered much more fit ifor education; education has been :more closely adapted to individual lneeds; and finally a health conscious- iness has been developed among- par- tents.

I can see woodchucks sitting at the I look out across the Big Hill to see a world! that is revelling in an orgy of color. 'Here and there a new green field of fall wheat shows up as a vivid contrast to the brilliantlyâ€" hued costumes of the poplars on the hill, or to the maples that are gayly festooned with flaming scarlet and! bright golden-yellow. I sit at the door and the lazy Wreaths of smoke curl out from my pipe to where the flies are recon~ noitring on the screen door, in a vain attempt to find a hole where they may gain entrance. It’s quiet and cool in there, with the shades drawn on the books and» the parlor furniture. My hand strays out to the newspaper. No, I don’t want it. Why destroy all this peacefulness by reading the newspaper and the ac- counts of the men and women who everywhere, it seems, are struggling? It would be a desecration to intro- duce the sordid‘ side into this peace- ful haven that is my home. There is a roast of meat sizzling in the oven, and it makes my' mouth water as I peer into the mysteries of the shining pots and pans. Even the teaâ€"kettle ad-ds its song of we]- come, when I have come in from work in the field. To me, home is at its very best on a Saturday evening. Just like yesterday. All day I had been ploughing in the south fiel¢ Ooming on towards evening, the sorrel colt began to shake its harness and whinny softly, as if to tell me that it was time .we were quitting. To tell the truth, my thoughts were in a parallel with his, because I was tired from tram-ping up and down the new furrows. I unhitched and went to the barn. Of course the boys were home from school. They took the colt, and Anna- belle, the grey mare, away into the stable for me, and I was at liberty to go up to the house. Spotty, the pup, came out to gambol at my feet and then he tugged away until he had undone my shoe-laces. I went into the woodshed' then, to splash the cold water on my face, and then straighten the kinks out of my hair with the comb. By Harry J.
