By royal proclamation this period has been declared Veterans Week -- and a busy program of events to celebrate the occasion has been aranged across Canada. It is fitting that during Centennial year we should honor the men and women who, by their sacrifices in times of war, and their good citizenship in times of Crippled Children Benefit Seals As the end of another school year ap- proaches, many of Ontario's youngsters are already excitedly making plans to at- tend summer camp. From Easter Children everywhere respond to camp- ing, and the crippled child is no exception to this attraction. By mid-June, the Ontario Society for Crippled Children's annual summer camp- ing program will again get under way. This seasonal program has continued without interruption since 1937, at which time the Society acquired its first camp: Blue Mountain Camp, near Collingwood. Today, thirty years later, the Society owns and operates five camps specially designed to provide more than 1200 crip- pled children with a happy and helpful - two or three week vacation, This part of the Society's program for crippled child- ren is just another example of the facili- ties and services made possible by your support of the annual Easter Seal cam- paign conducted by your local Easter Seal service clubs. : The crippled children's camp serving your area is Blue Mountain Camp on the shores of Georgian Bay, just west of Collingwood.

Veterans have been asked to wear their discharge buttons during the week and this, in itself, will lead to much frantic activity as many may have trouble find- ing "the badge of honor" which they have not worn for more than 20 years. As we pay tribute to the veterans who live, there will be a special thought for those who died -- more than 112,000 who made the greatest sacrifice of all and are buried in 70 countires around the world. Precautions When Burning Inadequate precautions before burning have caused misfortune to many land- owners. Burning should be planned well in advance. While burning, before a forecast rain- fall, may appear to be desirable, this type of weather is often characterized by _ gusty winds which produce erratic fire To minimize the danger of behaviour. escape, carry out the burning when winds are light and steady. Fire is more difficult to control from 10 am. to 6 p.m. Therefore, burning should be planned for the evening. In order to minimize the chance of "surprises", when fire jumps ploughed field breaks or roads, fire should be set at the down-wind side, and allowed to burn into the wind. Fires which are set to burn with the wind develop momentum suffi- cient in many cases, to jump long dis- tances. Sufficient men and equipment should be available in case of emergency. Shovels .and water-spraying apparatus should be regarded as necessities. When in doubt, don't burn. There is too much to lose. ' / ] / / ] / ' / / ] / / / / / / / / . WM. T. HARRISON, Editor A / / / / / / / / / / / / / / [ / / / TAKE PEN IN HAND What's the most common question being batted about the country these days? That's right. It's, "Are you going to Expo?" Well, are you? If not, why not? You can't afford it? Of course you can. You mean you can't afford to miss it. Yeah, you say, but what about bread, loot, gelt, money? Nothing to it. Anybody who can't make some fast money in this ridiculous world deserves to starve to death, let alone not go to Expo. I have a few 'suggestions. In fact, I have quite a few, because I've been giving the matter of our own trip some thought. I've discarded one or two of them for various rea- sons, but it's every man to. his own taste, and one or more of them might be just the ticket for you. Put your wife to work. If she's already working, and you still can't afford the trip, have an auction sale and get rid of a lot of that old junk you've accumulated over the years. This does not refer to your wife. If you haven't any old junk, think of some- thing. Throw a bingo party. Chickenfeed, you say? All right then, how about throwing" a martini party, at $5 a rattle, on the Mon. day of a holiday weekend, when everybody has run out of booze? You'd clear about $300. Buy some veterans' calendars, cut off one of your arms, and sell them door to door. "Whaddya running here . . . . Enver "LITING LISy 50 YEARS AGO Thurs., June 6th, 1917 Rev.

Come on, you can figure out a gimmick. Send your kids out mowing lawns. If you have no kids, send your mother-in-law out mowing lawns. And if she's too descrepit, in- sure her heavily and push her off a cliff. Arrange with a friend to bump your car gently from behind at a stop light, then run screaming to the doctor and claim you have a whiplash and collect bags of insurance. No? . How about some blackmail? Know anybody who's running around with somebody who shouldn't be running around with any- body? * Have a 'moving van come in the middle of the night, remove all your furniture, then you set fire to the house and claim insurance for it and the furniture. You could clear $3,000 on this one. Speaking of moving vans, how about push. ing your wife, or husband, in front of a mov- ing van, provided you have a joint account and mutual insurance? : : All of these .are too coarse, or common, or complicated for you?

Well, you and your danged principles have forced me into it. Here's the deal. We're going to have a contest. Now, we all love contests, don't we? I have been writing this column for about 14 years, without missing a week. I want a week off to go to Expo. Still with me? I have a great many faithful readers (and no doubt a fair smattering of unfaithful ones, -to0). Many of them write very well, as 1 know from letters received. For the best guest column submitted, I will personally send a cheque for $25, along with an autographed copy of my latest book. The latest one is the one I haven't written for MacMillan Company. The other books 1 haven't written were not published by McLel- land-Stewart and Prentice-Hall. This handsome award (so I'm not J.

They will either double or triple tha cash award, depending on their attitude when they read this, which is the first they've heard of it. Topic: anything you like. Length: about 700 words. Send all entries to above address. And there you are. Cash. If you win, you can take your choice. You can hitch-hike to Expo and blow the whole bundle on high living.
