IWHAT (S THE ANSWER TO THE

PENSHOIN (ROBE? :

‘ One of the problems vexing Canadians today is how to
.~Pay a large enaugh fension to those who need it without
‘handing outa lot of money to those who do not need it.

i The editor of the Catgary Herald says: “Plainly, a

Jarge number of people receiving pensions do not need the
“money. On the other hand, those with a genuine claim are
not getting enough, and cannot hope to get enough through
the present arrangement.” .

Has anyone, a good salution to. this ‘problem? 1 If so,
please let us hear from you. How can the pension be so
arranged that (hase who really need it get more; while those
who do not need it at all get fess,

Comme ‘up with the answer for that one and you will do

Canadians i general, a real favor.

in the fall of 1858 and the way

Well, they was remarkable

Douglas was what they'd
call today, “Mr, B.C.” His life was
B.C.’s ..1 guess you could say.

He was boss of all B.C, for
20 years,

His father was a member-of
the noblé Douglas family in Scot:
Jand, and his mother was a
Creole . .. Douglas was born, in
Demerara.

He joined the fur business at
16 and he went on and on until
he was head man of: the entire
industry in the West,

There was nobody that work-
ed harder, or could be shrewder,
or fight and plan more than

richest piece of real estate in the world, but its still, rea

THE SALT OF THE EARTH
3. W. Fleming in “The Friend”
Can. you imagine anything
more unexciting than the tiny
white grains of salt in your cel-
lar? Yet history records that salt
was once the cause of war. Salt
was. once upon a time used for
mohey. Salt was once” more wel-
come and more valuable than
gold cr silver, for salt was, and
still is, vital to life itself.
Tacitus, famed old Roman
historian, tells of furious wars
waged by barbaric tribes for pos-
session of salt licks or ,salt
springs; Homer, great blind poet
of Greece, called salt divine, and
told of its use at the feasts of his
immortal heroes, Biblical Jews

offered salt to Jehovah with the
first fruits of the harvest and
the earth. The inhabitants,;, of
Sierra Leone in West Africa once
gave all they owned, even their
wives and children, for a supply
of salt.

Though we today take salt
pretty much for granted, it is
just as vital to life and living as
it has been from time immem-
orial. It is of prime importance
in the home, on the farm, in the
doctor’s office and druggist’s
prescriptions.

‘The shoes we wear, food we
eat, the newspapers, the maga-
zines, books we read ‘the printed
page before your eyes now, all
are processed’ with salt,, The

water we drink from the faucet,
bathe in in the bathtub, swim in
in the pool—is purified, by chior-
ination.

Winter travel in cold cli-
mates by auto, train, bus and
trolley is made safer by salt.
Salt enables men to combat ac-
cidents, injuries and deaths that
lurk in glare ice on streets and
highwgys. SALT — the vital
paradox that melts snow and ice,
yet makes possible the manu-

@ great unsung friend of man.

before you wish a permanent diet of the same on your de-'

sides the human machinery is simply not made to handle
an exclusive diet of pills, no matter how nourishing they may
be. It has become accustomed over a period of many thou-
sands of generations to more substantial fare.

In the third place, we show the least concern over the
most vital commodity of all, unless we are deprived of it for

.an hour, and ‘that is water. With our reckless ravishing of
facture of ice and ice cream is- agricultural land, our forests and our prodigal use of water
