PURITANS OF THE WORLD, ARISE ! & IF you READ ONE OPINION in the paper Monday, it's as sure as death and taxes that you are going to run across the opposite point of view before the week is out. There are the black and white opinions; and there is also a full range of grey in-between shades. One subject bound to bring out the pro and the con is whether or not relief recipients should work for the money. Latest advocate on the work-for-the-money side of the argument is the minister of social welfare and rehabilita- tion in the Saskatchewan Liberal Government, Mr. David Boldt. His suggestion has evoked the usual stern rebukes. On June 11, the Globe and Mail said this: "To the extent that Mr. Boldt can create useful work for the unemployed and pay regular wages for it, good luck to him. But when he proposes to exploit the unemployed and other unfortun- ates by making them labor for their welfare payments, he deserves the sharpest criticism." But just the day before, June 10, a letter to the editor of the same paper had said this: "I sincerely believe that assistance must be given to, say, young widows, struggling to bring up a family; the disabled; the blind; the aged, lonely people, but there are too many props being placed under healthy people who can take care of themselves. As long as this is done, who wants to bother working?" The writer was a woman who, with her husband, brought up seven children during the depression without public assistance and the wages coming into the home were $21 weekly. There are the two points of view. An in-between shade, which no one seems to mention in this perennial dialogue, can be put in a question: "Has anyone asked the man or woman who is on relief?" Perhaps local authorities could avoid the opprobrium of the editorial writers and, at the same time, respect the sense of dignity of the man or woman who has an in- grained dislike of accepting relief, by offering a free choice: relief or a job. This might be, in the words of the Globe and Mail, "improving parks and doing clean-up and paint- ing jobs." Others could be added by a thoughtful welfare department without interfering with regular labor. If there are still people around as independent of spirit as the woman who wrote to the editor about her experience in depression days, it may not be naive to think that some would prefer the job to the relief cheque. Whether or not work is desirable as an end in itself also brings up an argument these days. The papers recently have reported more than one expert as saying that the de- sirability of work for the sake of work is a hold-over from the old puritan ethic. Someone may counter any day now with the slogan: Puritans of the world, arise!
