15yearold boy from a sentence of two years in the ontario reformatory for the theft of two cars one member of the bench observed that a good spanking might prevent much of the juvenile crime and the orown attorney added i wish parliament would make the necessary amendment to the code there might be something in the suggestion how practicable and effective it would be is another question with boys who are just entering adolescence and who think they are quite grown up spanking might work by pulling the lads off their hero pedestals letting them know that they are still children and to be dealt with as such but beyond that they may raise objection they say older boys might be more likely to inculcate a feeling of soreness mental as well as physical a feeling that they had been brutally treated and a determination to resent what they would con sider an insultpresentment which might be shown by the commission of other crimes ve do not agree with this view the trouble is that too much ofjthe spanking is delayed until too late indulgent parents whenthe young gentleman really needs an application of the slipper or the hairbrush are too prone to think oh hes too small and first thing

candidates for 194fe inno case stouffville markham pr other centres about- lis lrf was there one well attended meeting the in ference may be drawn that the ratepayers were satisfied with the old council and were not adverse to their return by acclamation in any event they were satisfied to the point that they lacked interest to come out and nominate ne men to run for- office this interpretation is one the sitting councillors like toplacepn the lack of interest shown there is however a stronger reason for nonattendance at nomination meetings and it is that generally speaking ratepayers are enjoying very prosperous times whether they be farmers workmen who want to work and all other classes- when this condition prevails taxes are easily paid rand hence the ratepayer becomes indifferent as to who is running things it is when times are hard and every dollar must count that folks look sharply at their tax bills and complain readily about how their money js spent those times will come again and sooner than many people expect the wise council will get things done when the opportunity is here so that when dollars are harder tbearn the tax bill may be keptat a minimum h i- the fear of god the common phrase used in describing an explosion is that something was blown to atoms and if we wanted to be more emphatic and total we would say it was blownto perhaps smithereensl would bethebest descriptionof the effect of the explosion of the atomic bomb in which the atoms themselves are blown into radiation that is they- are smithered into nothingness one ofouftownsmenhugh bannerman used the word smithereens in our presence one- day recently which gave jus thekick off or basis of what this editorial has developedinto when the apostle paul said that thingsthat are seen were not made from things that doappearhe was stating a fact which it has taken science nearly two thousand years to discover scientists tell us that when the atom spilts each of the parts into which it is broken requires and sets about instantly to obtain many times the amount of space needed for theunsplit atom the result is an explosion that is said to be 20000 times as great as that produced by the same quantity of deadly tnt which does not affect the atom itself this power is said to have been locked up in the atom since the dawn of creation and it would appear that with the dawn of what we are calling the atomic age the pro- cess of creation has begun to go into reverse the other day the archbishop of york quite seriously expressed the fear that the atomic bomb foreboded the end of the world and that it might result in the literal fulfilment of the scriptural prophecy of the last day when the elements would burn with fervent neat that is certainly what happened locally in hiroshima when the end of the world came to thousands of the people of that city in a moment in the twinking of an eye whether or not such swift and terrible destruction could ever be wreaked universally by some greater scientific release of atomic power what has already been wrought is enough to make civilized man pause and consider whither is it withering the question arises as to whether we are meddling too much with the structure of the universe like the boy who out of curiosity took the clock to pieces to see how it worked and then could not put it together again in this connection another passage of scripture might be quoted in which the writer of ecclesiastes says lothis only have i found that godvfiath made man upright but they have sought out many inventions if solomon thought that three thousand years ago what would that wise man say of our atomic age when the inventions of man accord ing to the inventors themselves threaten his total destruc tion banking the house for winter now is the timeof year when thrifty country folk think seriously of banking the house methods and materials may differ but the end result in the same a home snuggled down for the winter and made as impervious to the blasts of boreas as is humanly possible there is a school of housebankers which believes that leaves tightly packed around the foundations and held in place by a wall of boards and a capping of earth are the best possible assurance of a warm house but these slightly misled folk have never experienced the comfort provided by a banking of solidly packed salt hay such as is used by the householders of the new england shore area and neither of these schools holds with those who insist upon heapedmp pine arid spruce boughs but all agree that when november brings the cry of geese from the gray skies its time to think of banking the house new homes howeverare seldom banked since with their modern cement walls going below thefrostmyie repel thofrost and sqjmehbw dpot call for banking however they do not provide the same desirable storage place for roots and vegetables as the old cellar gives and so we go modern with our cellars but we
