  • A Suggestion it 'm.tinued from first page) "New occasions teach new duties- Time makes ancient good uncouth: We must upward still a "id onward Who would keep abreast the truth." In this spirit, with only the welfare of the Champion Family at heart 1 am asking \ou to enlist yourselves in a cause whose first aim is the prevention of sickness tsu homes. The "Relief Committee" of the Champion ;:'i. ;'i ha> di.ne a great deal of good ■-] am heartily in sympathy with the work of the Sick Committee, but. have they gone far enough? Have they, while rendering assistance, given even a thought to safeguarding the employee? The company has spent thousands of dollars in the work of protection against accidents, have made the mill as clean ami sanitary as they know how. yet, during this time the "Relief" has ■■■■ tented in the collection of fees, the payment of "sick and death benefits" and "dividends" to its members. My suggestion is this: that at the annual meeting of the "Relief" which will soon beheld, we vote to pay no dividends during the year 1916. That we. the Relief Association employ a trained nurse, whose duty shall be to visit the homes of the Relief members, the sick and the well, and who, hand in hand with the doctor employed by the company, shall give to our people in their home the benefit of her training and her experience, her first duty to be the prevention of disease and whose second duty shall he the care of the sick in cases where -vices are required. The Relief Association has been doing a great work Let it go a little further. The sick committee has been doing an especially commendable work- Let it go on. The Company has been doing more and more for the employee—Keep it up. Bat WORTH WHILE Tt is easy enough to be pleasant -*- When life flows by like a song, But the man worth while is the man who will 81 When everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is I rouble, And it always comes with the years. And a smile that is worth the praises of earth Is the smile that shines through tears. It is easy enough to be prudent When nothing tempts you to stray, When without or within no voice of sin Is luring your soul away; But it's only a negative virtue Until it is tried by fire, And the life that is worth the honour on earth Is the one that resists desire. But the cynic, the sad, the fallen. Who had no strength for the strife, The world's highway is cumbered to- ay— They make up the sum of life; But the virtue that conquers passion. And the sorrow that hides in a smile- It is these that are worth the homage on earth, For we find them but. once in a while.
