It will go down in history es sonic of the poorest journalism. ever pre- sented to the public. It will be understood that with the heat of the campaign over. the personalities all submerged and the efforts fut forth to unite Canadians with one object n view-to support a sound administration for the benefit of the people. As we write this we do not know what the results are, they will be found in another section of this paper. What we are drawing attention to, is thit it is the duty of every Canadian to put forth their very best efforts to bring about 1 continued prosperity, a full employment for all and enough homes to make living con- Sig,',". us they should be in this land of p enty. Welfare programs, public or private, that take care of the minimum material needs of the aged but leave them in a sense of fright- ened, inactive isolation are self-defeating", as Dr. Ruali has suggested. It is impmitGt" to recognize that useful work is} normal combination for_happy lives.

ELECTION OVER Happiness. many people believe. consists of sitting in the sun and doing nothing. To them work is nothing but a means to eventual retirement. Now it is being told that many aged persons who are hopeless cases in har. pitals are simply suffering from the disease of "nothing to do." . Work is what is needed to save them, says Dr. Howard A. “Rusk. of New York Univer- sity. He cites the work of day centres for the aged where the participants do some of the work, all of the administration duties and find social life. The incidence of illness among these people is far below that of their age group as a whole. The expense to taxpayers s considerably reduced. The "Darby and Joan" clubs of Britain, under the auspices of the Women's Voluntary Service. are further proof of the value of centres of activity, initiative and social recre- ation for this class of displaced persons. Off to the cottage, off to the summer activities, or off to work, is the lot of the school boys and girls for the next month or two. In order to spend the time profitably, great strides have been made by the various organizations to give the proper incentive and leadership to the boys and girls, through camp activities, summer recreational courses and monitory returns. All efforts have been directed by social Workers and scientific in- vestigators of personalities towards the full- est occupation for the summer season. It has" resulted in the development of a citizenship that his made a definite return for the in- vestment. No boy or girl today should be left to idly fill in the time during the summer holidays. The education that has been given ho them should be put to some use, so that the practical value of their education may be realized. In the various camp activities the leaders engaged are men and women of ex- perience, who have developed an ambition to transmit an incentive for real living and work. High Park YMCA, the Kiwanis' Club of West Toronto and the other service clubs and organizations are to be congratulated upon the leadership they have supplied to carry on this work. Plan to make the summer vacation this year one of real interest and opportunity.

To-day, there- fore, I went about beaming benevolently on everyone I met, and muggeeted with scowla and rebuffs by most of m. The plain fact is that most Canadians. dislike and mistrust any great show of cheerfulness.

The way to im- M',',' your boss is to look glum all the time. e may mistake this for intelligence and give you s raise." Cheerfulness is evidently a lost virtue, and even a Meet one, Here is how Robertson Davies in The Diary of Samuel Marchbanks explains the prevalent glumness: One writer inquires plaintively, "Have people forgotten how to smile?" More or less as a one-man survey, we noted the num- ber of smiles encountered during the period of a day. Possibly it was a bad day. Maybe the planetary aspects were unfavorable or our intense scrutiny raised hackles-anyway the results were grimly meagre. Smiles seem to he a scarce commodity now- Mays. And a number are too close to the 'cut-off' variety to really classify as honest- to-goodness efforts. Widest smiles of the day were turned in by a chap who has just won a sweepstakes prize and a politician meeting one of his constituents for the first time. Recently we have run across an increasing number of articles written around the theme of the strain of modern living proving too much for the average man. SOURPUSSES During the heat spells it only takes a few moments to set out containers of fresh water daily in places convenient for birds (on higher perches) and in lower spots for other animal friends. This old world can use a bit of humanity these days - so for those who find people trying, we suggest a spot of kindness for the birds. Spare. a thought for the poor dumb ani- mals during the hot weather. Humans can and do squawk about the humidity but ani- mals can only thump their tails or meow piteously. Although birds aren't exactly dumb - listen to their shrill indignation on a dry, dry morning - they still have diffi- culty making thoughtless folk understand it's not much fun being a bird on a hot, withering day: 7 7 An attitude of respect for the killing power of a car travelling at fifty miles an hour, a little care and consideration for the other fellow, and a strict obedience to the sensible rules and regulations governing road travel have a lot to do with how long we are able to enjoy the pleasures and conveniences of driving. Just remember that the life we save may be our own. _ N CHIRP, CHIRP, REMEMBER US? The attitude of the driver or pedestrian seems to be that accidents are for the other fellow; they never happen to him. Sometimes he never learns how wrong this can be either because, when it is disproved, he isn't around to hearlabout it, or anything else. When A soldier goes into battle, he knows he is taking his chances. The risk is great and he is fully aware of the fact. He is not interested in making it any greater by mak- ing a fool of himself and, as much as possible, he exercises care and caution. On the other hand, when a driver or a pedestrian takes to the road for pleasure or for business. the last thing on his mind is the very real risk he is running. This must be true or the number of acc_idents would not he as great as it is. - The increasing number of summer traffic accidents in Canada, with their heavy toll of death, injury. and property loss would seem to have little or no effect on the driving habits of Canadians or on the carelessness of pedestrians, judging from the manner in which our highways are being used, or abused, at the present time. Annual totals of death and injury are taking on the propor- tions of a full\scale war as the number of cars and trucks continues to increase. There are now more motor vehicles on Canadian roads than at any time in our history but cartand caution show no noticeable increase.
