1 am most fond of reading and writing. and several hours of' each day Ices into this work. There are friends who laugh at my labors. and say they do not .mdu:stand how I can spend long hours with books and pen. I usual- ly tell these people that mine is a "labor of love." At all events. there 15 pleasure and profit in reading wad books, and without deep .-ending one cannot hope to write aliybhhlg worthwhile.

1-was reading my Franklin only mig.mornlnz. and I lingered over this passage: "Doest thou love life? Then do not squander gclden hours fsr.that is the stuff life is made if."

There are persons who never find anything to do though the ,.-cricl offers plenty of gainful mgr, when God createli our first parents, He did not make them srcatures of leisure, with the first vears of creation hanging heavily '..pon their shoulders. So it is with every cne of us who are born into his world. There is a special work in us to do while here.

The housewife has her house- keeping to look to. her family and her friends to make her comfort- able. Too. she has her social duties to attend to. The notable house- wife finds work in abundance and delights in doing it. Providing she is not overworked.

But there are mothers who would rather wcrk their fingers to the bone than ask Jane or Mary to do this or that. Such mothers have a false idea of increasing their children's happiness by not asking them to work. I have seen girls scowl when asked to help for an hour a mother who had been toiling hard for eight hours. I have seen cther girls who sought rvery place where they could help.

Industry in the home is one thing. Slavery in the home is some- thing to be avoided at all times. Servants are frequently worked until they are ready to drcp with fatigue. when mother's idle daugh- ters' might cheer and relieve them by making a few piss, in pan of uiscllits, or setting the table.

"I do as much as my sisters." said a young lady of my acquain- tance. "and we all do nothing. I fix up little trimmings. fancy col- lars or such things. now and then. as I need them. I ,read a book now and then if it is spicy. I get my own clothes ready if I am going to a party. Scrnetimes I Just sit and look out of the window. or I take an afternoon nap. we sit up so late. having evening callers; and I do a bit'of shoppiing. or make a few calls, and - there, that's all I do."

"But my dear girl." said I. "How much of this is useful to yourself or to anyone else."

”But we don't know how to do llcuseworki" she replied. "Besides, there's so much to be done about the-house we'd be worked to death if ,we pitched in."

How long do you suppose this 1111 expected her mother to live? -Instead of anyone being worked to death, all would be the better for a helping hand.

Have you ever read a saying of

Sydney Smith's: "Let every man be occupied. and occupied in the highest employment of which his nature is capable, and die with the conlciousn that he has done his best." , Certainly I don't think plenty of good honest toll hurts anyone. Take any group that have noth- lnguseful to do and you'll firld a listless, bore-L set who are discon- tented whether at home or out doing hot spots. I have yet to meet a good person who was not a busy person.

Cultivate laziness in a child. and you cultivate poverty. unhap- piness and very often crime. Many mothers and fathers are left weary and discouraged. because they failed to train their children to help them heartily and lovingly!

O U 0

On the other hand. I know parents whose children seem to be busy doing little useful acts each day. when I asked the father why the was so. he replied: "Oh. my wife and I trained them to it. We made a habit of it in the first place." he continued. "And then we gave them an object in it; 'and sometimes we studied the kids themselves. so as to direct their lndustry so far as we could in a natural bent. and not make work a bitterness to them. we .taught our children to wait on "semselves, to clean up litter which they made. to get out and put away their own toil. It's amazing how early young C en can be taught to help. 0 g children a special interest In work. as I fixed habit of doing it 'aches them to be prudent and .,,:g.

iieralli Waring Reporting

OTTAWA-Almost every time Joey Srnallwood's name appears in the news. it seems, there's occasion for Liberal party bigwigs here to indulge in some sober heed-shak-

That's because in an increasing number of instances the Newfound- land Premier hasn't been enhanc- ing the lustre of Liberalism which he theoretically made his guiding light when he linked up with the ruling party after Confederation.

At first there was a tendency to overlook Joey's peccadillos and blunders. because as a Newfound- lander he's a newcomer to Canad- ianism, to liberalism. to our polit- ical traditions and our way of life.

Then. too. there was the not un- important consideration that he was the leader of the biggest polit- ical group in Newfoundland-the Confederate party-onto which he personally pasted the Liberal label.

Well, Sunday was the second an- niversary of Newfoundland': union with Canada and Joey's ascension to power. And it found him em- broiled in the new Pt-ovince's latest political storm-over the expulsion of Edward Russell from the Lib- eral party. on March 23 Russell resigned as Minister of Natural Resources in Smallwood's cabinet. but without publicly stating his reasons. Four days later he an- nounced he had been expelled from the party.

0 O 0

As the crow flies. it's about 1100 miles from St. John's to Ottawa. But even at that distance the Rus- sell case smelled. It had the same malodor as that which permeated the political air last fall when smallwood arbitrarily expelled Lib- eral M.L.A. Sam Drover from the party.

It's no new thing for a person to be read out of a party in the old- er Provinces, but at least it's usu- ally done with a certain amount of restraint and finesse. Not so in Drovers case-or. apparently, in Russell's either.

Drover, it will be recalled. charg- ed pubiicly that smallwood's Gov- ernment was guilty of "gross neglect" and failure to fulfill elec- tion promises. Thereupon the Pre- mier personally expelled him from the party "for an inexcusable vic- latlon of party discipline"

Liberals here didn't condone

Drover's rebellious attitude, but they did condemn the way Small- wood ousted him. It smacked too much of the purge technique. The Drover case wasn't the first time Joey had shaken the party bigwigs. First there had been his curious humor-at least. he said it was humor-in the 1949 general election. During the campaign he reminded voters of St. John's west that he was sitting on the public chest. and that if Liberal candid- ate Greg Power wasn't electevl. the riding wouldn't get a cent of pub- lic money.

Only the likelihood of a hung jury stopped the successful P. 0. candidate W. J. Browne. from pro- secuting smallwood under the Elections Act.

U 0 0

The Liberal chiefs don't like the coolness which has developed between Joey and State Secretary Bradley, the two Newfoundlanders who engineered Confederation. A few months ago, for instance. a Federal official telephoned Small- wood in an effort to locate Brad- ley. Did Mr. where Mr. Bradley was?

"1 don't know. and I care less," replied Joey. .

Despite the ill feeling between the two men. Bradley still has the Federal Government's confidence on matters affecting Newfound- land. For example, when the Gov- ernment fiiled three Newfoundland seats in the Senate on Jan. 34. the appointment of Calvert Pratt. St. John's business man, came as a complete surprise to smallwood. Others were surprised too, in- cluding Pratt himself. He had op- posed union with Canada, and be- fore going to the Senate he was recognised as a Tory. Now he calls himself an Independena.
