\u201cWe Can But Do Our Best And There Leave The Matter\u201d There's nothing wrong with laking a critical view of such things as habit, custom and even tradition when such a critical viewpoint stands to help mankind, Frequently, too, departure from long standing deep rooted practice or custom can benefit the people who it is intended to benefit That is the principle and i's a thoroughly good and sound principle, behind the \u201cDo It Now\" campaign under way in our area.It was not so long ago that spring and summer were considered to be the only times fur building, renovation and decoration in business premises and homes.And there are all sorts of other jobs which used to be put off till spring, such as d'y cleaning and the maintenance and repair of equipment like power mowers, outboard motors or automobi'es.The local winter employment campaign committees have taken a critica\u2019 view of old time tradition and hab\u2019t which dictated putting off such things to the spring and summer, and are appealing to all citizens to do likowise.\u201cIT PAYS TO BE CRITICAL And this appeal is beginning to bring results.It is becoming apparent that the number of projects being tackled in spite of cold weather is increasing every winter, More and more houses arc being built in the winter months Large scale construction projects are continuing without letup even in the type of weather that woud send an Eskimo scurrying for shelter.The local winter employment campaign committees are doing the proper thing in inviting the citizens of Valleyfield, Beauharnois and Chateauguay to also be critical of outmoded habit, custom and tradition and to carry out this winter all of those projects ussual'y held over to the spring and summer.The creating of employment for workers in the winter months results in a saving in welfare costs to the community, which in the end is a saving for you., More winter employment means more pay cheques \u2014 and a more prosperous community.NINETY TONS OF
