The Star concludes an article entitled "How can a citizen help his country?" with these words: "The best citizen in the present crisis is the one who, so far as he is able, continues to live a normal life, going about his business with a stout heart, doing for the most part what he would do if no internaâ€" tional crisis existed; buying according to his means and his needs in the usual way, and thus helping to keep the nation on a level keel even in stormy When local option was first adopted in Ontario municipalities there‘ was much complaining that accommodation would be/denied the travelling public. Conditions were never as bad as represented, but at worst did not approach those, according to the St. Thomas Timesâ€"Journal, suffered in early days in the United States. That paper recently contained the following: "It is as well that the rules and regulations for guests in early U.S. taverns are not enforced ‘now. They included the following: No more than five to sleep in one bed; no boots to be worn to bed; organâ€"grinders to sleep in the washâ€" house; and no beer allowed in the kitchen." Contrary to all hope and expectation and effort the number of persons on relief in Toronto has shown an increase in the following four months, compared with the same months of 1937: August ... 49,833 57,496 7,668 This is not a promising outlook especially with the fall season approaching.

Some may even see the light and resign in order that they may laugh with the people rather than be laughed at. In democratic communities it is the popular belief that Boards of Education and others with similar power consider the interests of the people not in a bold hard way, but softemned with human kindness. In cases of extreme necessity it is reasonable to assume in this deâ€" mocracy of ours that the feelings of the people must be placed in~a ucom'hr(y position in or&r that the "Good for Man," principle will benefit everyone, but until that m;tfy arises the will and feelâ€" ings the people who elected these Boards should prevail.

The proposed change has brought a total of twentyâ€"three students to numerically balance both schools. Unfortunately these were recruited from all grades up to the 8th, an average of three per grade. Therefore to make the schools balance numerically, three children in every grade were forced to give up their child playmates and teachers whom they had at least seen before, and were forced to make new contacts which may or may not be beneficial. Here is a case of hard cold interpretation of power not even tempered with a respect for child sensitiveness. The only thing that warrants the action garten is so small, in the ehangc. that it hardly makes the gamble with life worth while.
