ourselves, luxuries we really can’t afford and wouldn’t dream of buying at any other time. Most of all, how­ ever, at Christmas we think of good food and drink. But let us, for a change, dwell, for a few moments on a drink that no one regards as a luxury—the ordinary, mundane cup of tea.


The magistrates of Bracknell, Berkshire, ruled last


week that implicit in every British workman’s contract were the words, “Thou shalt have a cup of tea”. The decision, sure enough, provoked a storm of sarcasm, Here we were, the scoffers said, trying to compete with the furiously-working Japanese, the superbly-equipped Americans, the resolute Germans, and all those other industrial nations who were more dedicated and efficient than us, and all we could think about was stopping for tea. No wonder we were going to the dogs!


We agree that much of the criticism against the


British workman is valid. Some don’t work as hard as they should, are too self-seeking and complacent and thoroughly deserve the long delayed shake-out they have now got. But don’t let us vent our spleen on the innocent cup of tea, or the time taken to consume it, providing the tea break isn’t stretched like a piece of elastic.

We hold no tea shares, and have no desire to


promote the sales of that reviving leaf, but we feel that what our production loses on the tea roundabout it gains on the upswing of morale. For just when the spirits are lowest in the middle of the stint, when the strain is beginning to tell and the toil of the day draws us to that point of undue weariness which demands a slackening of pace, comes that freshly brewed cup—or better still a pint pot—of tea, to infuse us with new life, to set us working again with restored vigour, and altogether to present a picture that puts one in mind of the supercharged vitality of the TV advertisement character after he has sampled the recommended product.


So don’t let us quibble about the tea break. It’s


part of our heritage and we think those magistrates were right. “But for tea we would still be fighting on the beaches” we wrote in a eulogy of that beverage at the end of the war in Europe, and today no one should grudge our fighters in the economic battle a brief interval for refreshment if it will really help them to work with renewed zest or clearer head.


Who is HE? It is a Briton’s privilege to grumble, but we feel the


grouses against the British working man are overdone. ‘He won’t work,’ you hear people say. But who is HE? Should the word be “We or I”? Most of the workmen WE know not only work, but work hard, and, when given the same equipment and machinery as other nationals, and above all leadership and organisation, can still outshine any challenger in any country. And the people who say HE won’t work are usually the ones

given to ®e Worthy of thanks


JT was most gratifying that Clitheroe’s first Drama Festival should be so well supported and receive


such generous and sincere praise over a wide area. But it is not so much on this one festival, but on the value to our community of societies such as those who took part in it, that we like to lay stress today. For it is societies like these, who go to enormous trouble and take a great financial risk for no other .reason than to


give a worthy performance, who keep the town cul­ turally alive and its sight set high. We hear a great deal about the economic standard


of living, but too little about the equally important cultural level, for in an economically advancing country there ought to be a corresponding move towards the finer things in life, with more and more people realising the rich reward of pleasure that can be theirs if only


they will seek it. Today there exist facilities by which most people


can have a satisfying cultural life, but.it is in the realm of the live performance, on stage or concert platform, that the biggest struggle to retain those facilities goes on. And it. is in precisely this sphere that there is no satisfactory' substitute. However good a film or TV


• production may be, it cannot give-the same thrill, the same feeling of personal participation, as does a live performance. And it is the live theatre and the live concert performance that we must try to sustain and nurture, individually by our attendance and commun-


. ally by financial backing. To those responsible for the Festival—which won


. the admiration and envy of many larger towns and certainly advanced Clitheroe’s prestige—should go the town’s heartiest congratulations and ’warmest thanks.

nobody’s mug. He will, through his union s combined strength, drive a hard bargain to get as much as he can for the shortest hours, but while he IS at his bench, desk or tractor the average man applies himself to his job with as much zeal as you’ll find anywhere. Of course we have our scrimshankers and lay­


abouts, but so have other countries, and there is no justification for the picture we are too fond of projecting—of a good-for-nothing, blow-you-Jack character who is the epitome of grasping greed and indolence. We should be wary of being unduly in­ fluenced by reports of industrial strife and strikes, which are comparatively few (when, for instance, did we last have a really serious one in this area?) but which get exaggerated treatment because of the frequency of news bulletins, and although he is far from perfect the British workman is no worse than his counterparts over­ seas. And where production lags behind that of other countries one will probably find the reason in some other direction—in out-of-date machinery or methods or unimaginative management. As for that tea break, we should try to keep it as our secret—for if our rivals began to copy us in this pleasant little addiction we


might then be really up against it.
