T SEEMS that processionary caterpillars feed on pine needles. They move through the trees in an endless procession each caterpillar with his eyes half closed and his head fitted snugly against the rear of his predecessor. Once a great French naturalist decided to try an experiment with some of these caterpillars. He got them on the rim of a large flowerpot and succeeded in getting the first one connected with the last one, thus forming a perfect circle which moved around and around without beginning or end. He expected that they would eventually catch on to the joke and start'off in some new direction. But they didn't. Through plain, ordinary force of habit they kept moving around that flowerpot for seven days and seven nights until they literally starved to death. Incidentally, there was ample food for them close at hand and easily seen, but it wasn't on the rim of the flowerpotr so they continued, plenty hungry,-in their crazy circle, , - They were following instinct, habit, custom, tradition, "standard practice," or whatever you will, They were mistaking activity for accomplishment. And they got nowhere. There are many people in the world who mistake the same kind of "activity" for accomplishment. They are the people who resist change just because it is change. They are the people who join clubs for the sake of joining clubs and the people who refrain from joining clubs because they don't join clubs. They are the people who have convictions and who never, never change their convictionsand the people who have not, and never had, convictions. In short, the people who follow "caterpillar, philosophy" are the people who refuse to think. - If only one of that circle of caterpillars had thought for himself and ventured out, the chances are good that he would have discovered the food arid become a butterfly, instead of a very dead caterpillar. Come to think of it, it is the ability and determination of a few men to' think Jfor themselves that gives us leadership, progress and growth. There is a bit of the "caterpillar philosophy" in all of us. It is always easier m to follow than to lead, especially when there are so many "kind" people willing to tell us how we should vote, what we should do with our money, how many hours we should work in fact, how we should live. Actually, real success in life is always measured by the extent to which we, as individuals, shut the door on "caterpillar philosophy" and think for ourselves. COSTLY BUSINESS IT COSTS MORE MONEY to pro-! duce newspapers now, points out the Peterborough Examiner, which states: "During the past fifty years the costs of producing a newspaper Ijaye increased enormously. Ma- qhinery, pew? services, delivery' and. ' t labor are all more efficient ana more expensive than they were in the days ' when any man with a few thousand dollars could start a paper and hope tb keep it alive. Without wishing to do so, newspapers have been forced tp operate on a much larger scale than they did in the old carefree days. At a very conservative estimate, production costs have been multiplied by five since 1900. It is not surprising, therefore, that only the strongest newspapers have survived, and that the establishment of a) new paper is an immensely costly ijroject." firemen must Have first aid frie holding of an Industrial First Aid certificate will be one of J the requirements of a first diss city fireman on the basis of! a decision rendered Tuesday night by city council. Presented with a document fr$m the local branch of the International Firefighters' Union wljich asked that the city pay tuition fees for six firemen who have volunteered to take the Industrial first aid course, the aldermen pondered the matter, then, decided that, since provincial ' regulations make it ob!.- gatory that the fire department enjploy a certain number of men BRINGING FORCES HOME CIGURES DO NOT LIE and in this I case they illustrate the speed and efficiency with which the Canadian repatriation machinery has been working- since the end of the war. Almost exactly one year ago more , than 171,000 servicemen and women were still overseas. That was at the end of September, 1945. As of the sarhe date this year the figure had been reduced to a mere 3,881, all ! ranks. Canadian servicemen continue to pour back into Canada as fast as they can be released from their duties overseas, and, as of November 2, only 2,812 were still waiting repatriation. Repatriation officials at Army Headquarters have express- ed the opinion that all Canadian servicemen will be back in Canada by . Christmas. with Industrial tickets, all first class firemen should be siml.-larly qualified. Thev Dassed a motion -.that "all first class firemen,- and! those senior thereto, be required to hold industrial First Aid certificate and that the city will pay the tuition of all present firemen who obtain them, wltn provision that should any such employee leave within two years the city should be reimbursed for the cost of the tuition. Two other requcsw by the union, one dealing with extension of the annual holiday period, and another with cumulative sick leave, were referred to the incoming city council for action.
