A return to ‘Ys of course. We want to see the unem- ployed all get jobs, business returns to begin soaring, stocks to go up, mort- gages to get paid off—in short, to see blooming with well-being. The writer believes that a wave of judicious spending by the timid hoard- ers, of money will do it. If every woman in this province who is in a position to do a little spending, to hire a little help, makes it her in- dividual business to restore prosperity, it could be put over in a couple of months. eee If you have been considering some improvement to © house, and can possibly afford to have it done, get penters this week—don't put until a few more hundreds have been added to the unemployed. If you need and can afford a new car, get it now. The same with furniture, clothes, trav- el trips, music lessons for the children, new books, subscriptions to your local paper, plants and bulbs for the garden —all the things which you would have done in normal times, if this nasty depression and the wails of masculin- ity hadn't thrown a scare into you. Just to hoard money these days is utterly selfish, cruel, despicable. We do not care how charitable you are, ff you are not spending what you can afford to these days, you are a menace to the coustry. There are scores of women with nice comfy incomes that have not been affected by the “depression.” Or let us be magnanimous and concede that some incomes have been cut down from $10,000 a year to $6000 a year, or from $5,000 a year to $3,500 a year— which latter figures are well within the average understanding. Well, the least that can be done under the cir- cumstances {s to spend as generously as people with those incomes in norma] times would have done. Instead, many sit and shiver, and plan for the worst, and, in a guise of a wickedly mis- guided caution, help to bring about the very situation most feared. eee Oh, come on, women, Be good sports.
