Mrs. Mae MacNeil did not "éxaggerate‘" according to the adjucator, Dr. P. A. Belanger. And this absence of exaggeration would seem to agree with the following: Do not saw the air too much; but use all gentlly; for in the very torrent, tempest, and, it Pn I may say, whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire a temâ€" perence which may give it smoothness. Oh, it offénds me to the very soul to Hear a robustious periwigâ€"pated fellow tear a pasâ€" sion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ear of the groundling, who, for the most part, is incapable of nothing inexplicable dumb shows and nolse. Pray you, avoid it. But don‘t be too tame, either. Suit the action to the word and the word to the action, With this spectial observance, that you overstep not the modesty of nature. For anything overdone is against the purâ€" pose of the play, whose end, both then and now, was and is to hold the mirror up to nature, to show virtue her own image. (W. S8). ‘ Apparently Mrs. MacNeilâ€" did not overdo it or underdo it. She did‘ not exaggerate. She was natural. Congratulations. According to the newsletter of the Chamber of Commerce, a camp is a camp with‘ tents and huts, a name which provokes an untrue picture of the Porcupine. True indeed. But what of it. .Camp is a nice, short, oneâ€"syllable word, with which the Porcupine was conceived some forny years ago. Times Square is not a square. Columbus Circle is not a circle. The Porcuâ€" pine is now no her name will stick. And who iB the Chamber, a toddling infant, still in diapers, a precocious baby as yet to celébrate its first birthdayâ€"to tell a rugged old rascal what to call himself? There is still bickering about the entrance into "Pinecrest" school. Rightâ€"0fâ€"way: no rightâ€"ofâ€"way? A road: no road? Expropriation? _ But there is nothing serious to fret about. Because in any event children from all directions can simply walk across Gauthier Gauthier property. There is nothing whatever to impede them. Snow in the way? Unploughed? What of it. Does anybody think that somebody ploughed a path on the surface of the Mattagami River, for instance, to facilitate the childrens‘ daily walk to several holes to draw the filthy water? They beat paths. School children will beat paths across Gauthier Gauthier property. That is all there is to that. This writer has walked across that property and past that school every morning for the past three months. _ Shakespeare was the son of a bankrupt butcher and a woman who could not write her name. Beethoven was the son of a consumptive mother, herself the daughter of a cook and a drunken father. Schubert was the son of a peasant father and a mother who had been in domestic service. Faraâ€" day, one of the greatest scientific experimenters of all time, was born over a stable, his father an invalid, and his mother a common drudge. Such facts underlie democracyâ€"the conviction that there are extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people, and that if we throw wide the doors so that all boys and girls can bring out the best that is in them, we will get amazing results from x NR C w O unlikely sources.

Most of these men were tired of fanâ€" fare and fuss and ormal reviews, but their hearts warmed to friendly greetâ€" ings and cheerful attention.

Eh, Jews Observe The Eightâ€"Day Feast Of The Passover By Rabbi Irving Margolies Passover, commemorating the exoâ€" dus of the Hebrew people from anâ€" cient Egypt nearly four thousand years ago, will commence on Saturday evening, April ist, and will be obâ€" served by the Jewisch people for eight days. Passover, known also as the Festival of Freedom, recalls the passage of the Israelites from slavéery to freedom through the intervention of God. ‘"People in democratic countries often speak about a Bill of Rights but ignore the bill of duties without which the ~bill of irghts becomes a farce. Our Bible, therefore, placed these many rigid restrictions upon us .at the very festival of freedom so that each person will recognize that libâ€" erty and moral ~restraint gare not mutually exclusive of each other, but on the contrary, go hand in hand and are inseparzble partners in the venâ€" ture of freedom. In a Passover message on "The Meaning of Freedom," Rabbi Irvinzg A. Margolies of the Hebrew Congregaâ€" tion called on his fellow Jews to "adhere to a traditional observance of the festival ‘by abstaining from eatâ€" ing any bread or leavened food durâ€" ing the eight days. This is forbidden to us as a sign that our ancestors‘ reâ€" demption from Egyptian slavery was so sudden, and the Israelite departure so hasty, that they did not have time even to prepare their bread in the usugl manner, but they were comâ€" pelled to bake the dough before it had a chance to ferment. Thenceforth the Israelite was commanded to avoid all bread during the Passover week and to eat Matzoh (unleavened bread) instead. "Thus, our Festival of Freedom is marked by moral restraint and obeâ€" dience to the Law of God, "History records no other event to equal the universal spiritual signifiâ€" cance of the exodus of the Hebrew people from Egypt. The Exodus has profoundly afféected not only Jewish hijctory. â€" Many progressiwe nations of the world have drawn upon it as a source of â€" inspiration for * struggle against oppression."
