holds the world s record for the greatest oneminute rainfall 65 inches but that doesnt compare with the worlds record rainfall for one day this unwelcome honor goes to baguio in the philippines with 4599 inches or almost two inches of rain every hour for a 24hour period peculiar brains it may be surprising to learn that while muscles take up 441 per cent of the weight of the average body the brain accounts for 19 per cent actually the average brain weighs a little more than three pounds proving again that valuable things are done up in small packages an unusual feature is that the male brain weighs a few ounces more than that of the female any male who feels a witty comment about this coming on would do well to use the little extra brains he might possess to curb the urge reading project the summer months with extra free time for the small fry would seem an ideal occasion for parents to encourage more reading by their children we have in mind diversions other than increased consumption of comic books or the pulp adventure magazines a bit of guiding psychology and wise spending can get this project off to a good start the proper choice of childrens books takes con siderable thought there is a wide selection on the market today younger children can derive a great deal of pleasure from having a story read to them grade school youngsters can learn a great deal about the world around them in an exciting manner the reading can be tied in with summer travel and vacation activities reading can give children a vivid picture of the world about them there appears for them a realistic impression that they are living in a marvelous world of people animals and material objects which go un noticed day by day 0jsr gentle men i have bum thnocmc of an old man i knew when a lad he was bent nearly double and walked along the streets with hands behind his back he seemed to suffer from curvature of the spine or some kindred ailment he was a great favorite with everybody but especially with children i have never known a kinder and more unassuming person he had no ambition to be thought of other than as a humble christian yet by sheer transparent goodness he became probably the bestloved man in a town of about 30000 people i left england before he died but friends told me his funeral was one of the largest ever held there he was a member of one of the protestant churches but children from all the schools including the roman catholic followed his body to its last restingplace in a local cemetery he never held office in any of the local organizations he was the humblest man in town he did teach in sunday school sometimes sophisticated lads would draw his attention to passages in the bible that seemed vulgar he looked pained but patient as he tried to explain thalr place in scripture but his sheer purity of life shamed the youths and increased their respect for him i had at that time some office in a band of hope temper ance society several times he came and spoke to the children he was no orator but i shall never forget his earnestness as he stood before the children modestly dressed but completely carried away with his subject by some strange law of the spiritual life even restless youngsters understood as he spoke asdldhls master with authority the word gentleman has come to have a meaning suggesting social prestige old tommy herron never earned more than enough to keep himself in decent clothes and maintain a frugal style of living but if by gentleman we mean kindness culture and goodwill he qualified one hundred percent all kinds of people sought his advice although he had very little formal schooling no man i have ever known made me think so much of that striking sentence st paul used when writing to the corinthians love seeketh not her own that was it he never would have said ill have my own he did not insist even on his rights it wasnt what he did or said but what he was that counted he lived a selfless life he was that rarity a gentle man i have known quite a lot of men like him obscure humble but dependable they are the salt of the earth although they would be the last people in the world to think it but there they are like the foundation stones of a bridge unseen but necessary people like tommy hebron whether they are men or women make me think of jejus a lot of belligerentminded people try to make us think that jesus was assertive and capable of anger they are constantly quoting that incident when jesus made a scourge and drove the money changers out of the temple from that they work out a system in which jesus was a heman as they term it subject to passionate outbursts not long ago a man who heard me preach on the gentleness of jesus wrote me a pretty scornful letter in which he said i made jesus out to be a sissy he went on to say what he thought jesus would say and do in certain emergencies it was a dlffeent jesus than i had always believed in i have in mind a picture of jesus i think of him washing the disciples feet and telling them that the greatest of all must be the servant of all i remember his words except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die it abldeth alone but if it die it bringeth forth much fruit i recall that with his dying breath he said concerning those who crucified him father forgive them for they know not what they do c of coarse i shall expect to receive your statemest promptly on the first of the month mr nod mw for parents only morning slow poke by nancy cleaver tommy is a slow poke in the i ry greeting and a morning morning he takes ages

should have time to eat a decent breakfast and i dont want him to be late for school dawdling over dressing may seem a small fault but it is terribly annoying until a child starts to school the exact time when his dressing is completed does not matter very much to his mother but once he has that nine oclock deadline for greeting teacher then dawdling over dressing may become a real problem in a busy household it is a good plan to establish the earlier breakfast hour for a child several weeks before he or she goes to school for the first time adults must remind them selves that although time means a great deal to them to a small child the passing of time means very little children hate to be hurried sometimes one of the simplest ways to overcome tardi ness in the morning is to call the child a quarter of an hour earlier see that he is out of bed and thus give him a longer time to put on his clothes a large alarm clock on his dresser with the time marked when he should be starting on his way to breakfast is useful for some youngsters choosing what he is to wear and laying out his garments on a chair beside his bed the night before is a practical suggestion when a little girl is sleepy it may be confusing and take sev eral moments to decide whether to wear the blue dress with the white collar or the green jumper anti yellow blouse small socks shoes and underwear are apt to be misplaced under the bed or in the clothes closet or bath room in the process of getting ready for bed make a game the night before of leaving them all out in readiness for the next day mother should check on the physical condition of a child who dawdles continually is he slow because he is feeling slug gish perhaps he needs a tonic or a medical checkup a low grade sinus infection can make him feel very loggy in the morning it might be that his bedtime hour is a little late or his sleep has been interrupt ed maybe his bedroom is not well ventilated more rest and fresh air may make all the dif ference if more mothers would take time for a little nonsense in stead of worrying so about nourishing meals and prompt ness at school there would be less dawdling once in a while the real rea son why a small child lingers over getting his clothes on is because he doesnt want to go off and leave mother perhaps being at home is much more fun than going to school maybe he feels shy with teacher or afraid of some of the bigger children it is quite possible that he thinks his clothes are different how he dreads the other youngsters making fun of him if there is a real reason why he is dawdling over dressing mother should try to discover what it is and do something about it copyright after warning that there is risk of inflation in canada he said the higher interest rates are designed to encourage canad ians to save the finance minister made the announcement in a brief speech launching debate on the spend ing estimates of his department the 151st day of the session second longest since confedera tion in 1867 prorogation prev iously expected by saturday is expected now by the middle of this week prefers interest mr harris warning of the risk of inflation was contained in a reference to last weeks an nouncement by the bank of can ada that its interest rate had been boosted to a record 3vi what the bank of canada has been doing has been to mod- tioned that the one drawback was the farmer who invites his friends to catch trout after the lessees have stocked the stream such a practice does not go down too well with fishermen who lease streams they often spend considerable money in re stocking streams and making the grounds attractive a test case was heard in han over police court last week when harry lumsden charged three men trespassing on a stream he had rented from e d owens on lot 29 concession 10 of norman dy township mr lumsden said that he along with harry henderson and irwin fisher had rented the stream from mr owens june 24 the three had found

admonitions and is sometimes brought to mind by someones lack of carefulness a sample was furnished by a news item from toronto last weekend it seems the police picked up a motorist who was convicted on a charge of im paired driving which is another way of saying drunk driving only that it doesnt sound so bad and does not carry such a heavy penalty which is probab ly all right since ones ability to drive may be impaired but not destroyed it is supposition on our part that the police searched his car for liquor and in the search it came to light that he was a distributor of irish sweepstake tickets and in his possession the officers found the names of 320 agents whom he supplied pro secutions of these agents is in progress according to the news item referred to the thing which stands out in the incident is the utter silli ness of that distributor he was engaged in a business which is legally wrong whether or not it is morally so one would think that if he found it to his advantage to be not good he would at least protect himself and his staff by being careful if there are several children to avoid actions which are wrong with the growth of production he said this helps to prevent the present condition of expand ing production from spilling over ihto one of speculation in flation and instability mr harris announcement of the new bond issue was ampli fied in a statement issued out side the commons by the bank of canada the issue the 11th since the second world war will go on sale oct 15 dated nov 1 1956 the bonds will mature 124 years later on may 1 1969 average yield of the bonds to maturity will be 376 percent a year compared with a flat 3i percent for the 10th series to carry 13 coupons the bonds will carry 13 cou pons the first covering a six- months period and the remain ing 12 a oneyear period each the first two coupons will pay interest at an annual rate of 3 the next two at 3v4 the next two at 3 and the re maining seven at four percent a bank of canada official said the longer canadians hold these bonds the better will be the average interest return mr harris said the high level of economic activity in 1956 in cluding an 8000000000 capital rate increase he said let the government clean its own house let it look at its own swollen expenditures which represent one of the biggest and strongest inflationary factors in our econ omy today if the government wanted to ward off the threat of inflation it should direct its efforts to ward increased production harry a white pc middle sex east said the government is starting late to prevent infla

magistrate e c spereman of owen sound dismissed the char ges when mr lumsden failed to produce a copy of the lease be tween himself and mr owens during the trial defence coun sel alex j mcnab of walkerton asked if the charges had been laid as a result of a 10 bet be tween one of the accused and dr j j hergott of ayton on the outcome of the case if taken to court mr mcnab said that although the trespassing of fence was supposed to have taken place june 24 the charges were not laid until july 12 willie owens testified he had invited the three ayton men to go fishing on his dads place the father claimed it was the understanding he would have fishing privileges on his own land the trio leased the stream from him about eight years ago for 15 a year bruce h grose ba barrister solicitor
