Much of the present bitterness and tears over the sidewalk situation could have been eliminated if the council, which was taking over tyâ€"laws and the whole idea from a previous council, had had lettess of notice mailed to each individual property owner who was to have his fence dismantled or his lawn shortened. Some of the instances are hard to take without shouting and the citizens have been shouting but the council has been inclined to believe they were the ravings cf a few who wanted something to shout about. The letter would have placed the onus on the home owner instead of on the council. . On one spot on Bannerman Ave. the sidewalk has been built so high that one man can‘t get his car in and out of his driveway. Across the way another man wasn‘t notified that the sideâ€" walk would be built so high and the result is that his property valâ€" ue has dropped. His barbary bushes were covered with gravel and the level of the sidewalk is two feet above the lawn. Others in the town are complaining of like instancts of what appears to them to be highâ€"handed bureaucracy. In building sidewalks or roads or anything which may interfere with the privacy or the property of ; the private citizen the town council should not just make a public announcement and commence to begin. It may be legal but it isn‘t good public relations. Service Clubs Serve The Community 1 CA} UILM W i Th W a 10 The Kinsmen specialize in children‘s welfare work and many other worthy causes which don‘t always get headline publicty for they seem so obvious, yet they are overlooked by the general pubâ€" lic and the energetic Kinsmen keep on helping where they they are néeded. This year another project of theirs was the fine set of docks at Gillies Beach where they have made the beach safe for the youngsters and older nonâ€"swimmers. The docks enclose . two large areas of water on the shallow beach enabling the instrucâ€" tors to teach large classes of tiny tots as well as grownâ€"ups how to swim and the rudiments of lifesaving. But for the work of the Kinsmen these docks woukdn‘t have been built. While basking in the sunshine alongside the Schumacher Lions Club Pool yesterday we began to go over the large number of services provided by the numerous service clubs in the Porcupine Area.. The Lions club, perhaps the most active Lions club i1+t the country, spends thousands of dollars and thousands of hours m soâ€"called spare time in doing good around the town every year. The list of activities and social interests of the club is so long that we haven‘t the space this week to list them. PAGE FOUR _Another fine community spirited group is the Kiwanis Club which meets every Monday for luncheon at the Empirg Hotel and which does a great deal of welfare work. These clubs along with the Y‘s Men‘s club the Club Richelieu, Knights of Columbkus, Phalâ€" anx Club, Loyal Order of Moose, and the Junior Chamber of Comâ€" merce, are part and parcel of the modern scene and a town without a live srevice club today is as rare as the Dodo. In clden days it was up to unorganized groups to do the tasks of looking after welâ€" fare and other things which are today done as a matter of courseo by the highly organized service clubs of the towns and cities. With these few thoughts in mind we dandled our feet in the clean filtered water of the Lions pool with kind thoughts for some Lions who had rushed home for a hasty supper so that they caould be at the organization meeting just to see that the pool was built. And for the lonesome wives who put up with the shenamgans of’ the club men when they have a bee in their bonnet, and fdr the ulâ€"< cers which the . clitbmen mistreat with hasty meals.

Clubs evening to discuss ; munity Chest,. Th devided to recomme fare agencies that t ecorts in this comt ing of funds for ct An interesting sidelight on the recent peace in Palestine has been the joining of forces of the Irgun or rebel groups of Jews and the Haganah. The Haganah or conservative Jewish group, which believes that half of Palestine is better than no Palestine, and is headed by Dr. Weizman, are in control of the local government.} The Irgun, composed of the radical or younger group of Jews! which believed that they should have all of Palestine returned from the Arabs, has now joined with the Haganah in a united state. This development of the strife in Palestine is mostâ€" encourâ€" agng to those Wwho hoped for a Jewish state but didn‘t wish to see differences of opinion fomenting civil strife.. Canadian and Amerâ€" ican Jews are overjoyed at the settlement although many stil}l have strong feelings on the matter of the amount of ldnd forming their state of Israel. The Irgun was formed around a small group of Polish Jews who had fought in the last war and were bitter foes of Britain and the United Nations. Outcropings of rebels were the Stern gang and others who were interested in some small part in the forming of a Jewish state. "Abdullah has now agreed to negotiate with the Jews and the United Nations. A point which has perhaps escaped notice is that the Arabs were not taking Jewish territory when they fought in the city of Jerusalem but were on United Nations mandate ground. Perhaps that is the reason why the United Nations acted as soon as they did. It is good that the United Nations stepped in when they did, as the Jews who had been hampered in getting munitions were beâ€" ginning to get them in large amounts from the United States. Heavy equipment was beginning to arrive and the Jewish forces which had been unable to train because of the restrictions imposed were now able to train troops. The fierce determination of the Jewish forces wilted the armies of the mighty Abdullah and given an even break the Jews would have probably beaten Abdullah‘s army very badly. The sudden switch of the United Nations shows that they have been watching the situation far more closely than one would suspect previously. * It is heartening to Christians as well as Jews to know tha 4 peace once more reigns in Palestine and that an amicable agreeâ€" ment may be worked out to suit all nations. The agreement beâ€" tween the rival Jewish factions is perhaps the most heartening â€" a house divided will not stand.
