Happiness In Work The following editorial appeared in The Sidney. Review in December 1929 under the title *: “An honest man is entitled to happiness i in his work. It is one sure sign that he has found his true vocation. He greets his work each day with _ a singing heart and loves his business. Love is the greatest: thing in the world, and love for one’s business is a prerequisite of success. .It is the partner of success in life. One must like his work to do it well, and. usually where the attachment is lacking it is a case of the wrong job. The exceptions that prove the rule are those individuals. who abhor work itself and those who can learn to love the work they think they are not fitted for. “When.a young man awakes in the morning with regret that he must get up and go to work, he may well understand that a vital necessity of success and hapiness is not his, and that it is high time he changed his philosophy of life,. his job, his diet, or his mode of living. He is certainly off the road that leads to achievement in anything. Work: ‘brings ‘joy to. more people than. any ‘other form of human effort. Poor deluded souls’ :- lament that’ they. must work, while they know : deep: down in. ‘their consciousness. that they are etting more fun-out of their work than out of © ‘their automobiles, golf or radio.

It’s the sort of a story most papers © f like to carry — bigger and better, upward and onward, | full speed ahead and all that sort of thing. But, in fact, growth in Sidney and environs is a source of concern to a lot of people who cherish the town just as it is — or rather as it was a few years ago. A lot of us have long questioned the bigger is better concept. We | know from bitter experience that it just isn’t so. It’s frightening to see this town gradually eaten up by see asa matter of fact Council showed good sense last week in dropping the demand for a public apology from Norma A Sealey, the member of the Saanich 1 School Board who sounded off } recently at a public hearing and - f accused the council of acting in Reports keep filtering into the Review office about Sidney merchants and business people who are either reluctant or refuse to give American visitors the ex- change which is coming to them on American money. Not all, of course, but enough to give’the town a bad name. Some of the visitors we are told only find out that they are legally and morally. entitled to the 10 or 12 per cent when they go to a government-operated agency such as the liquor store which scrupulously observes the Icgal conventions. This is a rip-off of course and nothing else- it doesn’ t matter that visitors don’t insist on the exchange nor is it justified by the remark we heard from one businessman who seemed almost proud of the fact that he had made (stolen?) $2.40 on an American $20 “They don’t give me anything in their country,” he muttered, So... in a letter carried last week by The Review G. Gary Runka, chairman of the B.C. Land Commission gave the circumstances leading up to the exclusion of a 63- acre piece of land, in which was contained the 33-acre site of the controversial .mobile-home. park, Sum- mergate Village, from the Agricultural Land Reserve. After two refusals-on the part of the land commission once for the smaller tract and once for the larger, the land was lifted from the reserve -by the provincial cabinet — an unusual action on the part of the cabinet and one which, as yet, has not been explained. In our view the removal of the land: from the agricultural reserve has nothing to do with the merits or demerits of councils action in granting. permission for. the mobile home park which seems to be a valid and uselul enterprise. But someone should damned \ well tell us why the cabinet. took this action, almost unprecedented,. in removing the 63-acre parcel on the Saanich Peninsula. In the past the cabinet has almost always followed the recommendations of. its commission on such matters. Why deviate now? Perhaps our MLA, Mr. Curtiscan. | tell us. when did two wrongs make a right? . * * * In .an earlier. issue that the Sidney game.- -. warden. -and’ acting. con- _ stable. drew attention of. local members of the board of trade to: -: “Subsection : 3-. of the game laws which’ prohibits shooting from a mehway or or. -“acrossa municipalities.” -- The gathering. was: also; told that.
