Make Your Own Job

Conditions throughout the world during the past five years have ad-
mittedly been most discouraging to all people, but especially so to youth.
As boys and girls have come out of school and college, ready to take their!
place in the business world, even at the bottom of the ladder, they have dis- |
covered there was no place for them. They have been denied even the op-
portunity of making a start because the financial and economic world has
been out of joint, with business marking time, and no development work
being undertaken.

‘As a result, thousands have become discouraged, embittered because of |
den‘ed and frustrated hopes and ambitions, have become drifters because
they have lost hope for the future and accepted the easy but mistaken view
that present must be d as conditions, Lack-
ing any background of years in which work was plentiful, and having no}
experience in profitable employment, they can see no light ahead.

Such an attitude of mind is a terrible mistake. Future years will be
just as bright, in fact brighter; just as busy, in fact busier; just as rich in

opportunity and in enterprising development, in fact more so. The world figures by
will not stand still; neither it will move d. Since the of | exports from the figures for imports

Bureau Of Statistics Has Issued
Some Interesting Figures
What are luxuries? The Dominion}
Bureau of Statistics started to com-|
pile figures on the luxuries produced
and consumed in Canada in a year,
and was confronted with the aim-|
culty that one man’s luxury is an-
other man’s ordinary, every-day com-|
fort. This is true of food, furniture, |
clothes and so on. Even tobacco is
claimed by some to be a necessity. |
So the bureau finally decided to list
everything as a luxury which
actually above the line of neces-
sities. It included, therefore, such |
things as carpets, silverware, jams|
and cooked meats, and so, saturaiiys|
| id did not present its conclusions as a}
hard-and-fast statement of luxury
consumption in Canada, but rather
“an attempt to throw some light on
| the production and consumption in
| Canada of goods which are more or
less in the nature of luxuries.” It
| found that the factory value of these
in 1933 was $263,608,185, or 12.6 per
| cent. of the total value of produc-
| tion in Canadian manufacturing in-
| dustries, The retail values would, of

backs, has always been both onward and upward. It will continue so.

Consider the most familiar names of people and products on the lips
of practically everybody to-day—Henry Ford, Firestone, H. J. Heinz, Coca-
Cola, Borden's Milk, Hires’ Root Beer, Welch’s Grape Juice, Maxwell House
Coffee, Jell-O, and similar names. Do these names mean anything to the
youth of to-day? They should. i

It was in 1890 that Henry Ford began working on a double-cylinder
engine in a little shop on his farm. When he went to work in Detroit at
$45 a month he took his shop along, and in 1893 his gasoline buggy was
running and for a long time was the only automobile in Detroit. Forty
years later he was rated a billionaire.

Firestone was a buggy salesman who became convinced there was a
great future in the rubber business. He bought strips of rubber, cut out
crude solid tires and fitted them to buggy wheels. Thus began the great
tire industry of to-day.

H. J. Heinz used to grow horse-radish in his garden and peddle it from
door to door. This backyard venture put him on the road to becoming
Heinz 57. x

In 1886 a doctor in Atlanta stood working over a kettle in an old
house. On the next corner was a drugstore, and periodically the doctor
rushed over, squirted carbonated water into a glass containing a sample of
syrup, and tasted the mixture. After about 300 attempts he had the first
Coca-Cola.

While holidaying in New Jersey, Charles E. Hires was served a drink
by a farmer’s wife. Its ingredients were sassafras, teaberries, and sweet
fern, all gathered locally. Hires smacked his lips. Returning home he ex-
perimented with herbs, roots and barks. Thus was Hires’ Root Beer born.

John the great prince of the United States, de-
livered his first bill of goods from a wheelbarrow. Adam Gimbel, founder
of the stores which bear his name, started with a pack on his back. Tim-
othy Eaton started in a little corner lot store. The story of Woolworth’s
five-and-ten cent stores is too well known to call for repetition. The great
Crane Company, manufacturers of piping, valves, bath-room fixtures, etc.,
had its inception in a little brass foundry.

‘These great enterprises of to-day had very humble beginnings, many of
them within the life of the present generation. Opportunities are just as
great to-day. “What's going to alter our lives is probably happening this
minute in a backyard workshop, where some crank is thinking by himself,”
Henry Ford declared recently. Another man states it this way: ‘Many of
the million-dollar corporations of to-morrow are starting to-day with little
capital but an idea. They are beginning in attics, cellars, kitchens, and in
the minds of clerks behind store counters.”

Recently the head of a huge business in the United States selling many
different products told about four new products, all launched since January,
1930, and now selling widely. David was not afraid of Goliath, and observ-
ant youth with an idea or capable of assimulating one, with vision, enter-
prise and daring can just as successful win out against the Goliaths of big
corporations.

To quote Henry Ford again, who recently said that unemployed people
“should create their own businesses, no matter how small, instead of wait-
ing for some one to give them a job.” And as a writer in Forbes’ Magazine,
from which much of the above is taken, says: “Ten years from now we
will be reading more success stories gathered from the kitchens and cellars
of 1935.” No one who has a work-bench or a stove and a dollar—and an
idea—he says, need be discouraged.

Celebrating Anniversary ,

Violin Industry Started In German
Town 250 Years Ago

Mittenwald, Germany, a village in

the mountains of Bavaria is now

its violin industry, begun in the 17th
century by Mathias Klotz.
Throughout the summer the town
| folk presented a play, “The Song of
the Stars,” telling the story of Klotz
and his wanderings over Italy, where
he learned instrument making. The

ts| play will be staged again this winter
| at a nearby town as part of the en-

tertainment for the winter Olympics.

The story of Mathias Klotz is a
romantic one. When he was a boy
of 10 his peasant family sent him to
Italy to study under famous violin
makers there. Twenty years later he
returned to Mittenwald, opening his
own workshop. Apprentices flocked
to him and soon he established the
fame of the town for fine instru-
ments, a reputation Mittenwald re-
tains to-day.

Marking The Ballot

Strange As It May Seem, Many
Voters Muff The Job
Placing an X beside a candidate's
name is a simple task but at the ap-
proaching Dominion general election
it is likely 25,000 or more electors
will muff the job,
In the 1930 contest 24,119 lost
their votes through improperly mark-
ed ballots and there are more parties
and candidates this time to confuse
the voter.
Parliament places the ballots in
the hands of voters and supplies pen-
cils to mark them. That is as much
as it can do. Electors have only to
make the crosses themselves. Yet in
1930 ballots were rejected in every
constituency in Canada.

Markings in addition to the cross,
use of a pen or colored pencil in-
stead of the black pencil provided
and signing of the ballot by the voter
are the most frequent causes of
spoiled ballots.

Through habit many men use their
fountain pens and deputy returning
officers throw out their ballots. On

ments, Klotz’s had to go
out into the world themselves to sell
them. Strapping their violins on
their backs they wandered through
nearby countries, giving demonstra-
tions and making sales in castles and
great monasteries.

$10,500,000; beverages (not includ-
ing tea, coffee, cocoa, etc.), nearly
$21,000,000; silk hosiery (which the
bulletin says is not often considered
a luxury nowadays), nearly $8,400,-
000; toilet preparations, over $5,000,-

These again are factory values.
For passenger automobiles, bicycles
and boats, the people of the Domin-
ion paid the manufacturers less than
half what they did for tobacco in
both these years: $28,254,984 in
1932, and $24,518,970 in 1933.—Tor-

Severity For Prisoners Demanded By
German Minister Of Justice

“Severity” for prisoners as a Nazi
tenet was demanded by Franz Guert-
ner, minister of justice, at the open-
ing of the 11th quinquennial penal
penitentiary congress in Berlin.

“Tf criminal law is to represent
atonement for wrong done the com-
munity,” he told the 400 delegates
from 50 nations, “and hence defend
and protect the national community
from evil-doers, the logical result is
severity in the treatment of prison-
ers so the punishment may be appre-
ciable to the evil.”

Guertner also announced that the
Nazi reich has definitely rejected the
ancient legal principle: “Nulla poena

law is infringed). Instead, he said,
it has substituted the maxim; “Nulla
crimen sine poena,” under which,
punishment is meted out regardless
of the incompletion of a law.

Nine years ago the Ontario de-
partment of education started cor-
respondence courses for persons out
of reach of school either for the
whole school year or part of the
summer months. The courses were
intended also for those physically
unable to attend school and for whom
no provision was made for education.

During the last school year the
enrolment was 1,800 of whom 50
were physically unable to attend
school. The courses are free and the
department pays all expenses. Aver-
age cost of educating a pupil for a
year in this manner is from $12 to

\. Many persons start to mark their
X opposite the wrong name, score it
out and then mark it opposite the
candidate they wish to support. This
spoils the ballot. They should ask
the deputy returning officer for a
new one.

Voters sometimes ask why all this
fuss about markings when the voter's
choice is plainly indicated? The an-
swer is that precautions are neces-
sary to discourage bribery. They
are the culmination of years of ex-
perience with elections, the frailties
of human nature and the cunning of
some politicians.

In the '90's and earlier when the
population was small, party workers/
knew which voters were Conserva-
tive, which Liberal and those “on the
fence’’ Of the undecided variety
some would sell their yotes and the
temptation of workers in a close race
was strong. -

But unless the vote iver could be
sure those he bought went to his
candidate there was no use buying
them. Many ingenious devices were
used to allow party scrutineers to
identify ballots while they were being
counted. The result has been the
regulations to prevent distinguishing
marks.

Election workers claim there is
very little direct bribery now. Rid-
ings are so populous and party affili-
ations of voters so indefinite it would
cost too much. In addition there is
the almost certain risk of the elec-
tion being voided.
