LET'S DO 1T NOW!

The st. Lawrence seaway assures the marooned
interior of the benefits of low-cost sea trans
portation from the heart of the North American
continent to the four corners of the earth.
1t assures less handling in transit 1t assures
quicker delivery. It assures to the shipper a
lower accumulation of transit charges for insur-
ance breakage and the like 1t assures to the
importer and to the exporter alike position on
the worlds waterfront from which they can deal
directly with their overseas trade connections.
The st. Lawrence seaway assures to agriculture
a better competitive position in the worlds food
market. 1t assures to the laborer more active
business life within the interior, better chance
to market his labor, and better opportunity tt
provide for the future of his family.
These are individual benefits that make the
immediate undertaking of the seaway imperative

themselves out to secure their ease.
This is, indeed, bread cast upon the

MAKING TIMES BETTER

A young business woman in Knoxville, Tenn,
was the winner of prize of 500 offered by the
WOman's Home Companion for the best letter
on the topic: "How Think We Can Have Better
Times in Our Family" Her letter is glowing
little sermon with an application for millions of
families throughout America.
"Our family needs, more than all else," it sug-
gests, "some daily fun together. Each member
has his routine of work and studies, but we have
so little pleasures together. My mother is a good
manager, and much work is done and done well.
But the family never thinks of taking its recre-
alton together. The boys have their athletics,
the girls their dates father has books, and mother
her numerous friends.
There are some rather interesting personal
tiles in our family of six but we have never made
the effort to be friends with each other. God
gave us our relatives, but we can choose our
friends,' may be undisputed wisdom, but if my
brothers and sisters were not members of the
same clan believe we would be glad to choose
each other as friends"
A cultivate the family" campaign might be a
useful notion for some government department
to foster and promote, now that the lazy summer
months have arrived. 1t would really be easier
and more useful than some of the things now
being done.
The campaign might urge that the boys take
their sisters with them when they go swimming
golfing, or riding. An entire family can enjoy
camping together. A father can get lot of fur
out of showing his young daughter how tC
crisp bacon over an open fire.
Perhaps such national campaign might alsC
advocate the use of little tact in the home
Family life flourishes better on encouragement
than on sarcasm.
