EMILY POST, MANNERS not more than 125 Woodcock or 150 favour carrying their goods home rather than wait in. i «SCHOOL RE-OPENS Holidays are nearly over. In less than two weeks the schools will be filled by students--some eager to learn; some forced to go through the routine of school life, The first group is the joy and inspiration of the teacher: the second group is the trouble department. The new viewpoint regarding education will ~ bring into sharper contact the two groups in- dicated. The emphasis is to be placed on individ- ual tendencies and abilities. Mere rote learning is not to be considered enough. If the student is to succeed, there must be a three cornered co- operation. Student, teacher, and parents must work together for the development of the student, Lack: of co-operation on the part of any one of these three factors makes success difficult, and sometimes impossible. The tendency to make everything easy and pleasant for the student is a very stupid one. Life is not like that: and the student is being pre- pared for life. It is an open question as to the value of abolishing examinations, homework, and difficult subjects; These factors in education can become too burdensome; but those of us who have passed the school day, find examinations every day, and we must pass them or losg our bread and butter. . At times great problems confront us, and we must find the correct answer at once or lose what we value highly, Perhaps we shall have _to do hard work; and shall have to think long and deeply to find the answer. Actual life is not easy; "and it is foolish to encourage young people to think that it is. * ; : That youth shall have fun is essential; but the fun should be of the kind that develops good -character. 'It is pleasing to note that competitive sports are less favored, and that team play is being' encouraged. = Co-operation will be the key note in all our lives for many years to come, The ~ "happiness of our people will depend on our ability to work. together. Schools exist to prepare students to face life as it is intelligently and as happily as is consis- tent with proper self-respect and respect for the rights of others. Lower standards than these will bring misery. And those standards can only be attained by hard-work and fine spirit on the part of student and teacher, with the sympathetic help of the parents, E * * 9 IF WINTER COMES Hope is the greatest asset of human life. The myth of Pandora's Box has its lesson for us all. And so we say--*"If winter comes, can spring be far away 7" Winter 'will come. We can see its approach in the ripening grain and the gathered harvest. We can see it in the turning leaves. We can see jt "in the thousands of cars that pass our door on homeward journey, because summer is -over, Winter will come, but before it comes we shall have an interlude of great loveliness. ~ Nature gives fair warning of the frost 'to follow. She has provided ample food for that period of rest from production. If we have made use of her lavishness, winter will have fewer terrors for us. We shall be prepared. As the years pass, we learn more fully the les- son that seedtime and harvest; summer and winter, shall not fail. i If winter comes, can spring be far away? Ex. perience has laid the foundation of hope. The dependability of the changing seasons has done 'much to give us courage to go forward and face our winters, convinced that spring will come in : its own good time. a : «= LE I RY} INSTALMENT BUYING Educators are waking up to the fact that peo- ple need to be trained in the art of buying. The awakening is a little belated, for the shrewdest minds in the world have been working in the op- posite direction for many years; and we have all bought much that we did not need, and for which we did not receive good money value, Instalment buying is a°good blessing, if proper- ly used. 'But it can become a great curse to both buyer and' seller if improperly used. There is, even in these days of increasing prosperity, evi- dence of the hardship following improper buying. "The introduction of consumer education is going to make a great difference in all our merchandig- ing. When people know what they are buying; when' they fully understand the obligations they assume when they do buy, there will of necessity be a more thorough effort made to give honest values, and less high pressure salesmanship. ¢ oe 8 UBING THE PAPER The difficulty in"running a newspaper lies in the fact that the people do not use it 'sufficiently for the expression 'of their views, This does not mean that there should be a constant flood -of contro- versial letters in the paper. There is much wo commend in the life of the people in this locality. There are practical suggestions to be made for the improvement of conditions hereabouts, ~ Thera are public questions that might be discussed with profit by our people. All the wisdom is'not con- fined to the large centres: nor are all the votes. Some: day: we shall have an election. Very pro-- bably but little discussion will have taken place upon any subject upon the merits of the subject, without party interest. Yet we shall be expected to vote intelligently on these matters, Certain local improvements are made in the town, and certain projects are undertaken by the people in the surrounding communities hereabouts. Their success or failure affects the life of the people greatly, and an open discussion of these matters would be very valuable, Any Jetter that deals with local affairs will be cordially welcomed in qur columns, especially if it is constructive in character, MISS L. M, PENHALL, EXPERT, MAKES. ARDENT PLEA FOR MORE HIGHWAY COURTESY Mrs, Emily Post, foremost authority in America on manners, has finally directed her attention to the manners of motorists and courtesy on high- ways. In the latest edition of her famous volume "Etiquette", shortly to be published in Canada by Ryerson Press, Mrs. Post has included a chapter on "Manners For Motorists" and her fina. ings and comments closely parallel those emphasized by the. "Try Cour- tesy" campaign being conducted by the Ontario Highways Department, The Mayor, Ducks and 50 Geese in one season. Persons using blinds or decoys for hunting game birds are urged to con- sult the Regulations for details and restrictions, . Sr What Would You Do with This Mr. Ratepayer? Toronto, Aug. 11th, 1937 Port Perry, Ont, As you are taking care of a number of deliveries in a few minutes, you can appreciate the saving in time will be very considerable. Delivery costs are cut because the drivers' time is not wasted in calling on a number of cus- tomers uselessly daily. You are giv- ing a 24 hour service 7 days per week in place of 3 or 4 mintess service 6 days a week as at present, There is no need for high pressure salesmenship as the customer buys the keys by the dollar's worth and there- fore can budget, but as we all know, they will accept delivery of goods as the desire is created, for the goods have been paid for. The keys are sold City Sea Gulls. Lorne Beare, star goalie, from Port Perry, has been signed to wear the colors of the Atlantic City Sea Gulls during the coming campaign, This announcement was made by Phil. Thompson, general manager of the Birds, after he had received a phone call from Coach Red Mackenzie, who is in Canada. : The new net-minder will come here with an enviable record, being con- sidered one of the classiest amateur players in Canada. ' ¢ was given a try-out with. the Boston Bruins last season and Art Ross, manager of the Bruins, predic ted a bright future for the youngster after he had had a bit more seasoning, Mrs, Post addresses her remarks not to "really great drivers or very good ones, who are fully aware of their own expertness, but to the tens of thou- sands who in ever-increasing numbers swarm out upon the streets and high- ways 'to have their lives saved time and again (though they don't know it) by experts who step in between the Grim Reaper and the-bad driver. The type of driver, writes Mys, Post, who ought to be given a "nice long time to think it over in jail" is the one who, when the road is crowded, pulls out of a solid line of cars to "jockey" or steal his way forward, "Finding himself in sudden danger of- a head-on collision, he makes gn frantic effort to push his way into the Dear Sir,--I have been advised to write 'you regarding a location for a manufacturing plant.

A committee was appointed to prepare a slate of officers to be presented at the annual meeting of Ontarjo viding which will be called shortly, Among those pre- sent and speaking were W. H. Moore, "MP, W. E. N. Sinclair, M.L.A., F. M. Chapman, W. H, Gifford. My J. Pp. Mangan, of Oshawa, acted as chair- man. } In his address, Mr. W. E. N. Sinclair intimated that he would not be a can- didate in the forthcoming election. However there is a strong feeling that an effort should be made to persuade Mr. Sinclair to reconsider, AUTOMATIC SERVICES LTD.
