foR ./ mie #ea. Fun ceto ie During the last war many young men of some ability, who were unfit for active service, were given a chance to hold a job, that would never have been offered them in the routine days of peace. Prior to the war the only men who were given the chance to hold a responsible position were those with grey hair and who had reached the age where they had acquired considerable rotundity. Meanwhile millions of dollars in human assets were being wested, due to the lack of opportunity for men in the 20 to 40 yearâ€"old braciet. o There could only be one result. When a country or an organization refuses the chance to get ahead to these younger men, nz'i.hot clseâ€" where for that opportunity. In the past decade, despite war, we have lost 100,000 of our best citizens and our finest brains to the United States. In the next decade we may lose ten times that number unless something is done to make the picture a great deal more attracâ€" tive than at present. In a country that is being bled white by taxes, Canada sets a unique example by the terrific expenditures occasioned by and for the benefit of the Government minister. Something for every Canadian to think about, is a story appearing in the Tisdale (Sask.) Recorder: "We watched an old man planting young trees along the â€" street. Pleased at our interest, he said: "My kids have been after me to put up a fancy monument in the cemetery, but I told them I had a better idea. I got a permit to plant trees along the streets that don‘t have any and I aim to spend the money that I would have spent for a monument that way. I‘ve been around nigh onto eighty ears, and I‘ve never seen a fellow who was lookin‘ for a shady place to rest, go out to the cemetery and sit under a monument. or kids skin the cat on one." Good homely, crackerâ€"barrel stuff is this one paragraph in the Watâ€" ford (Ont) Guideâ€"Advocate on ‘"Boys"â€"ending up thus: "A boy is a piece of skin stretched over an appetite. He eats only when he‘s awake. Boys imitate their dads in spite of all efforts to teach them manners. Boys are not po%uhr exâ€" cept with their parents, but they do have many fine qualities You can absolutely rely on a boy if you know what to rely on." _ _ _ has been appointed manager of raâ€" _ As an example: twentyâ€"six of Canada‘s top civil servants are now receiving an average of $12,600 yearly, an average increase of nearly $3,000 since January 1. o Heading the list is the Deputy Minister of Finance with a measly $17,500. In the diplomatic field, Norman R. Robertson, High Comâ€" missioner to London, is top with a $10,000 salary and $28,000 in living and other allowances. Hume Wrong, Ambassador in Washington, is second with a $10,000 salary and only $25,500 in allowances. It has cost 1% millions to operate 30 Canadian embassies, legations and conâ€" sulates in the last nine months of 1946. Now you know why your Says the Elmwood (Man.) Herâ€" ald in writing about building a community, and howâ€"right: "Only put into practice, some of the ideas and principles already well known, in a common sense and forceful way.
