HUNTER. MANAGING EDITOR DAILY EDITION Women's Pay . -. Tuesday. July 27, 1943 The decision of the Department of National Defence to increase the pay of the women in the forces to eighty per cent of that received by the men should meet-with general approval. In fact, some may feel that it does not go even far enough. It is satisfactory to learn that the trades pay for women in the army is to "be brought up to that received by the .men. There is a growing feeling that women doing the same-work as men should receive the same pay. Against the feeling there appears to be little in the way of valid argument. Equalization of the pay of women with that of men will be just another step in the progress of social and economic adjustment which will, no doubt, lead in time to the elimination of sex distinction as far as useful work is concerned And there may come. too, some drastic redefinitions in the matter ot wnat is "useful work." Some time the work of the woman who stays at home to manatre the household and rear the family may be rightfully recognized as of equal if not greater importance than the work of the man who goes out and earns the wherewithal. And.th.is vital work of woman may then receive more fitting recompense than is accorded it today. Teaching the Boys ... The next generation of leaders will be predominated of the type of men who are now newspaper boys, That is, if our whole economy is not wrecked by half-baked theorists who are making free use of the war emergency to advance regimentation and widespread indolence, with the promise of universal security for all, irrespective of individual effort of contribution to the common good. The greatest danger we face today is that the boy-emes to think that unearned ease and plenty can toe his through some new philosophy of life, whose advocates' seek only to perpetuate themselves and who know well that their cockeyed theories are as mythical as Adolrs Bible. - Whatever chance our children may have to emerge from the chaos into which a wasteful, syn thetic economy is hourly plunging us, will depend upon the future enterprise and productivity of our boys. If our boys come to think that all to which we aspire is the bunk and that freedom from want and personal security are the sum total of Canadian life; then the jig is up and our next generation will be a servile, spineless race of dependents, no better off than the pitiful peoples for whom we -fight. If our boys crack up, if they come to believe that some magician can give them freedom from want without their working like beavers to earn that freedom, then we are sunk. The boys should be shown before they fall for the hokum of the dreamers, that nobody ever got anything worth while without working' for it. All those who come in contact with the boys have a great responsibility born of the influence which can be exerted upon a growing mind. Thev should show the lads that the future of mankind depends upon the preservation of the democratic wav of life, upon tree enterprise, freedom of initiative and the right of nara, worK and brains to reap a just reward.

In the first game, which was much tighter than the score indicates, the Ontarios defeated the highly-rated Navy team by a 7 td 2 score. The game was a pitchers' battle right up to the fifth Inning with the holding a slim one to nothing lead. Then the big bats of the Army began to boom. Edwards, pitching for the Navy, walked the first man up and, when the moke had cleared, the Ontarios were ahead five to one. In the sixth Inning the easterners scored two more runs, principally due to errors on the part of Navy Infield and the game ended Army 7, Navy 2.
