WorklIs A Privilege?

“The day may not bs far off

when it will'be less‘costly to pay ©

regular salaries to people who can’t get jobs than to tolerate a depressed class existing on the fringe of affluence.

“what, paying people for not working?”

“It's not only Communist, it's crazy!"

Theso entirely predictable reactions to such a suggestion are not, of course, surprising, But. let’s not forget that the most common thingg that we take for granted every day were once , dutlandish, wild ideas: such as paying ‘farmers to not grow certain’ crops.

The idea that people might be paid whether they work or not is not .entirely ‘new. It can be traced back at least as far as the manifesto of Kar] Marx, who set up the utopian Communist credo ‘of '“‘to each according to his need, from’ each according to his ability.”

The Communists have never even tried to implement’ this eredo, and they would be unable to do so if they did try because today’s’ Communist countries do not possess the industrial wealth to support such an ideal.

- The age of automation, how: -ever, is coming closer each day in North America.

It has nothing to do with Com- munism, And the early advo- cates of payment for non-work $n. this: continent are social scientists: concerned with mak- ipg qur.system better end more workable. -

Is everything cut-and-dried, black-and-white, for you? Or do you sometimes’ wonder? I do. Here are some of the things I wonder “about. Maybe you can supply the answers,

What ts it about spring that turns normally tolerant, sweet- faced, ‘mild-eyed women: into tall-twitching, yellow-eyed tigers who prowl the premises in a perpetual rage, snarling, “Litt that barge, tote that bail, wash those windows, paint that trim?”

Second question. Why are nor- - mally. devil-may-care, lon- hearted chaps, who would mix it up with an adult mate gorilla it they didn't like the look on the ape's face, frightened white, at this time of year, by these 110- pound tigers?

How do you tella ‘alee mother, wearing rose-colored | glasses, that her son, whom she insists {s going to be a brilliant surgeon, will be lucky if he catches a ‘ob at the supermarket meat coun- ter?

Why does the sun beat down unmercifully when I wear a raincoat while trout fishing?

why, when I don’t take a raincoat, and the — inevitable cloudburst comes, am I always a mile and a half down the stream from my car?

What kind of nuts is the world producing these days? First ex- ample. The other night there was a teenage rumble near here. Pollce and firemen broke it up. One kid was ‘handcuffed and stuffed in the police car. The cops jumped out to aid fel- low officers: The kid bal eoty out

naied still cuffed. What did he do. during those four days? I mean, did he ever try to...uh... well, you get the idea?

Second example. Maybe you cead this ‘in: the paper. Fellow named George Wilson was ar- vested. Why? Because he had just ‘thrown: Harold Wilson (no relation) through a plate-glass window. As Harold lay there in his own blood, he protested vigo- rously the. arrest of George.’
