Unity: "From a distance it might appear that Canadians are one united, happy family, for we do not go out of our way to advertise our differences to the world at large, although we may argue bitterly about them among ourselves. The marvel is that, with all our differâ€" ences, and some of them are funâ€" damental, we get along so well toâ€" gether."â€"Woodsock (N.B.) Sentinâ€" It is well within the lifetime of many Canadians that the hours of work has been reduced from "daylight ‘till dark" to a 48â€"hour Many establishments have even shorter hours, but that of 48 hours is accepted as standard. Also employees have been given vdcaâ€" tions with pay. There are of course a few exceptions to these rules. The farmer, for instance, has not yet been able to adjust his operations to the 48â€"hour week. One reason is that the cows remain unreasonable and insist upon morning and evening milking, and weeds refuse to halt their growth while the farmer takes a few hours off. Now it has been suggested by some union leaders, that a 30â€"hour work week would be ideal, and leads one to suspect that advocates of this system are not so much interested in leisure as they are in pay at overtime rates. For a man who earns a dollar an hour for a 48â€"hour week, with time a half for overtime, the shortened standard would give him $57.00 for the same 48 hours of work. Then if his shop became busy and he worked 60 hours in a week, he would receive $75.00 comâ€" pared with the $66.00 received at the present scale. 23â€"25. . .

R. working week Although to date the demand has not been made, it is only logical that if the working week is reduced, the time given for holidays will have to be increased. If a man gets two weeks holidays with pay under the 48 hour week system, he is away from work for 96 working hours. Then if the week is reduced to 30 hours, his holidays must be increased to a little more than three weeks if he is to retain the benefits from his employment.

There is apparently no particular reason why an employee should be paid time and a half for overtime, but the principle is now so firmly established that it is almost heresy to question it. It is a known fact that the longer hours a man works the more his efficiency is decreased. Following this line of thought, and taking for granted that the 48â€"hour week was established because man can produce at his maximum only for that number of hours, it would seem more reasonâ€" able to reduce his pay per hour after the 48 hours to correspond with his lessening efficiency. nnehb’“ newspaper, devoted to the interests of ie Town of .mmw.wcflamgmatoam Street, Waterloo, every Friday. is a member of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association and of the Ontarioâ€"Quebec Newspaper Association. *~ .

If Britain wants coâ€"operation on that basis she can have it gladly. When Mr. and Mrs. Peter Holien of Melfort Sask., were blessed with triplets, the townsfolk were so excited they canvassed every business man for credit subscripâ€" tions and the total was handed over to the proud people as a gift, together with a nice community letter for Mrs. Holien to read in hospital.
