c h koiu pufcfiibo in thomii asjocut edrtot farmers have our sympathy there is an old and outworn fable among towns men that farmers are eternal complainers that they are never satisfied no matter how good they have it this crop season should certainly prove the contrary for we have heard a great deal more moaning from urban dwellers than from the farm folk themselves over the conditions created by the weather ontario fanners are facing the most discouraging season in many many years seeding was endlessly hampered by wet weather in the spring and harvest ing of coarse grains is weeks behind for the same reason in case you havent noticed a drive through the country will convince you the stooks are standing out in field after field black with cold moisture which in many cases has rotted the grain or caused it to re- sprout some fields of wheat which should have been threshed over a month ago remain crinkled and soaked with moisture the same is true for oats combining and threshing has been brought to abrupt halts for days on end and it is likely that some farmers will either plow their grain under or burn it off a farmers misfortune does not only affect the farmer however it has a widespread reaction on mr john q public no matter what his trade may be canadian dictators are canadian newscasters becoming little dic tators it would appear that more and more radio newsmen have been stricken with the idea that they should stand up on a soap box and give their own personal feelings on various contentious subjects the average citizen switches on his radio to listen to facts and not what mr newscaster thinks or believes after all he is only one man and his opinion might be entirely wrong we the listeners are expected to digest this onesided type of broadcasting for break fast lunch and dinner its enough to make one sick in his stomach luckily canadians arent too easily swayed however by anyones own personal likes or dislikes why these personal grudges or grievances should be forced down the throats of the listeners is more than we can understand recently one toronto broadcaster devoted a con siderable amount of time ridiculing the move to have fluorine ejected into the citys water supply in spite of approval by doctors dentists and other men who are authorities on the subject another newscaster spent the greater part of his time chastising elvis presley who at that time was a comparative unknown to many the campaign has apparently backfired however since presley is now the music worlds top attraction in both canada and the united states canadians arent so ignorant that they must have the rights and wrongs pointed out to them verbally over the air we have minds of our own and when the facts are made known we are able to arrive at our own opinions building expensively an incongruity of these times is the fad of build ing sprawling onestorey structures to serve as primary schools at a time when so much tax money is required to construct schools to accommodate an unprecedented upsurge in enrolment of elementary school pupils we have allowed ourselves to be talked into building schools the most expensive way the flat rambling schools have prompted the peterborough examiner to remark architectural fads imposed on commercial or domestic private purses may be viewed genially exercised with public funds they should be criticized ontario school building since the war is open to question about its economy and efficiency one almost gets the impression that height has become dangerous to the educational process the london england county council does not think so it builds two three and fourstory schools and one now being completed at putney has nine stories nine flights of stairs are admittedly too many to ask pupils and teachers to climb so big elevators have been in stalled this school has been made to rise high primarily to have playingfield space schools of such height requiring elevators would properly be frowned upon in ontario communities but we do agree with the peterborough paper that in this province the next turn of the architectural screw should be up litterbugs a public menace this year new signs have appeared along the provincial highways indicating that a 50 fine awaits those who are caught throwing or leaving trash or rubbish along the sides of these roads this is- very timely because the present time of the year with its picnics and touring automobile parties is the time when this habit is most prevalent the sudbury star condemns not only those whom it calls litterbugs but also those who deliberately trespass on other peoples property chop down trees for firewood and leave the place littered with garbage and other refuse it also has a strong word of criticism for people who throw junk from their cars and trucks to litter the roadside extermination of the litterbug it says is just as important as the extermination of black flies and mosquitoes the sherbrooke record dealing with an allied subject reminds us that there are litterbugs in the cities as well as among motorists using the highways it says anyone with a lawn fronting a sidewalk can vouch for this passersby toss empty cigarette boxes paper bags lollypop sticks potato chips or other remnants on the grass this is just as true of stouftville as it is of other places on almost every street corner on a windy day will be seen an accumulation of paper candy bar wrappers cigarettes and other windblown trash mosquitoes and black flies as the sudbury star poinu out may be an annoyance to the skin but the utimbaz creates a situation that is annoying to the iti inch a nice cvenlar how would yon lite to slip into yonx old comforlsblc nd rr he yard ttfe cause and effect quite a number of years ago on a sunday afternoon in winter a man and his wife visited niagara falls to see the spectacle of the falls being frozen over they probably ven tured too near and a cake of ice on which they were standing broke off and they were hurried to their death there was much publicity given to the incident and many letters from readers followed i distinctly remember one letter written by a man who said the reason for the disaster was obvious these people were breaking the sabbath and god showed his displeasure and hence the calamity followed i did not care for that letter it sounded so smug and selfrighteous this man was doing what so many of us do trying to relate cause and effect during the ministry of jesus some men were repairing the tower of silvan when the wall fell and several were killed some of their neighbours felt this was a mark of divine dis pleasure they tried to link cause and effect and jesus made it clear he did not agree with such shallow reasoning i think it is a presumptuous thing for humans to interpret the will of pod and talk glibly about the ways of god let us be reverent and humble wellmeaning people have often done much harm by stating emphatically why god permits things to happen over and over again when visiting bereaved people i have heard someone say to them god took away your loved one because you loved him or her too much it seems to me it is almost blasphemy to talk about god in such a way we cannot love anyone too much it is infinitely better that we should be reverent and humble confess that we do not understand why such things happen and say with the poet god moved in a mysterious way his wonders to perform he plants his footsteps in the sea and rides upon the storm in one or his books dr stanley jones tells of meeting a man in india who said god let me down when dr jones asked for an explanation the man said my brother was very ill and i prayed daily for his recovery but he died god let me down one can sympathize with such a man but it is difficult to follow his reasoning the history of humanity is one of dis appointment and frustration surely it is a wiser thing to believe in the wisdom and goodness of god than to think that religion is an insurance policy with which we try to make a bargain with god the attitude of the psalmist job was better though he slay me yet will i trust in him not once but many times jesus urged his listeners to have faith in god in such passages as ye believe in god believe also in me there were times when christ needed this admoni tion himself when on the cross he cried my god my god why hast thou forsaken me is it any wonder that we are so often troubled and bewildered what i have preyiously written is not in scorn or derision we are all very finite and we should be very careful in quickly relating cause and effect let us be patient humble and reverent we are in the hands of god who is infinitely good and wise and shall not the judge of all the earth do right our quotation today is by one of the fathers of the

speed the jobs tre done well i can assure you although it was raining we stopped on the highway beneath the firth of forth bridge as trains thundered overhead every few minutes workmen are never done

wonderful looking up princess street to the walter scott me morial and edinburgh castle high on the giant rock in the dis tance our first eyening in this re nowned city we visited friends the cobblestone streets were wet but our taxi driver was ap parently used to this and we careened around curves and up and down steep grades with no apparent caution our friends were most glad to welcorrfe us from canada and had the elec tric hearth well warmed there is no other heating they told us of the war years marvelled at our answers to their questions about canada and gave us some real

his second year of office in the evening mr roy thom pson millionaire canadian pub- usher and owner of the edin burgh scotsman gathered more than a dozen earls and lords and their ladles to meet us canadians prior to dinner in cluded in the group was lord stevenson keeper of the royal purse and a most entertaining gentleman with whom to chat he told us that in addition to his royal duties he engaged in the investment business we visited the scotsman plant in the afternoon where a staff of 800 is engaged in publishing a morning and evening paper equipment is not the latest but workmanship is excellent in the morning it was the start of another 200mile bus trip to leeds it was a thrill to see the north sea of which one has heard so many tales of famous sea engagements i spotted a group of gypsies pulled up on a slderoad with their colorful wagons but we hadnt time to stop for a picture the courtesy of drivers on the british highways is outstanding and despite the traffic and nar row

stopped occurred in children under five months and that 77 of the total were in children under one year of age it is evident that all children must be immunized early in under the righteous judgment of god and incapable of re deeming themselves the other feature of chris tianity which is strongly empha sized is its teleologlcal character it is moving toward a goal the bible keeps pointing us for ward to a day of god a day of restitution the kingdom of god now both of these features center in the lord jesus christ he is the mediator of the whole purpose of god both sotei ie and life they

hes so small she thought encourage your child to not only appreciate the beauty of trees and their value but to know the various kinds learn ing to identify all the trees in your area can form a fascinating family project you are likely familiar with the common trees near your home but on a hike do notice the different kinds of oaks maples birches can you tell a white oak from a red oak a suger maple from a manitoba maple a lombardy poplar from an aspen you will discover some excell ent tree guides in your public library the inexpensive paper- by nancy cleave names scholars in some classrooms collect and press leaves while others gather twigs from differ ent trees this makes children more observant sometimes a boy or girl can recognize a tree quickly when it has its leaves on but in the winter when the bare limbs against a sky are very beautiful they do not know the usual shape of the different species at three months of age having three doses at a months interval and a booster shot between six and twelve months later to achieve the ideal children should receive another booster at the age of three and another at six years this is a precau tionary measure to take care of those odd persons whose immun ity may wear off a bit unless fortified by the booster there is no need for any child in canada to go unprotect ed by immunization he contin ued every province including the northwest territories has public health services where par ents may have their children im munized free of charge wher ever there is a school service there is a health service as well large urban centres as well as many rural towns have child health centres where vaccination and immunization may be ob tained free of charge regardless of family income immunization may be obtained from the family doctor who re ceives the vaccines free of charge from the provincial gov ernment today there is no smallpox i hardly any diphtheria and whoo- ping cough is declining what we would like to achieve is a lowering of the general inci dence of disease throughout can ada in order to achieve the same results as we did in the case of diphtheria that is to eliminate carriers of disease thus elimin ating the risk of exposure to dis ease in the first place dr wilson urged all cana dian parents to have their chil dren immunized during national immunization week sponsored by the health league of canada when it is still fresh in their minds comes to men and by him the kingdom of god comes his cross is the great saving event and his coming again is the great eschatologlcal event both these aspects of christianity ap pear in the last chapter of rev elation here jesus is seen as the lamb mediating salvation by his suffering and death and he is seen as the coming- one bringing the

from the health aspect of this practice medical authorities have some definite ideas as to the extent to which it is a menace to the health of the community there was a move several years ago to have
