c- h nolan publisher jis thomas assoc editor laff of the week dont cross the fence lines there is a growing tendency today on the part of the genera public to disregard the rights of others so far as property trespassing is concerned and a misguided view that one can go anywhere unless the property is placarded this idea is entirely erroneous and the matter has been pointed out in magistrates court that no signs of any kind are required to keep the public out of a property if a property is fenced one is trespassing if he enters under over or through this fence likewise at the gateway whether or not the gate is closed trespassing can be the charge if one passes through the idea that one can make public use of someone elses property just because this property does not have signs posted at every interval is entirely wrong disconcerting one of the most disconcerting exxperiences we can imagine is to be bowling down the open highway at 50 miles an hour and have some lunkhead pull out of a farm lane or a sideroad right in your path its the sort of experience to have nightmares about but it often does happen in actual fact sometimes they come to a stop look you right in the eye and pull out into your path figuring they have done their duty other times they dont stop they just careen around the corner either because they have no brakes because they might lose a few seconds by giving you the right of way or because theyre built that way we know of one fellow who backed out of a ianeway and straddled the highway right in front of an oncoming car there is little that the law can do to repair the broken bones restore the lost lives or darken the gray hairs caused by people who do this sort of thing but it can and has stipulated that henceforth the motorist on the through highway has the legal rightofway in case his heirs wish lo enter suit litterbugs there seem to be a good many people in this vale of tears who were never taught any manners this fact manifests itself in many ways but one of the most noticeable these summer days is the tendency to litter the countryside with papers tin cans beer bottles and what have you litterbugs they call them without giving a thought to the mess they cause they throw paper in every conceivable spot dump whole boxes of tin cans and garbage along the roadside break bottles in as many places as possible throw old tires in rivers and leave banana peelings apple cores wax paper and crumbs on picnic benches we have never been able to understand the psy chology of litterbugs if any most children are taught a certain amount of tidiness around the house and one would think that this training would bear fruit in later years your true litterbug alas is worse than any child in that he knows better but does it anyway fire elsewhere in this issue there appears a report of a meeting of whitchurch township council where a decision was made to assess the parents for the cost of lire lighting when their children caused a conflagra tion in the district it is common knowledge that the weather has been hot and dry this has increased the danger of fire to a high peak and this too should be common knowledge for this paper in issue after issue has repeated in different forms each week just how serious the danger has been and still is we have shared this job of warning with every other paper for miles around as well as with radio and television broadcasts in addi tion there are the fire regulations which have been in force for years the law knows no excuse for lack of knowledge of these or any other laws in force these laws state briefly that fires may not be started- out of doors with a few exceptions these are that before starting a fire the nearest fire department must be notified of your intentions and sufficient help must be immediately available in case the blaze should get out of control in this recent case a number of children were either allowed to start a fire for a wiener roast in a field of dry grass or worse still were not supervised to the extent that their actions were known before the event in any case the familiar story was repeated the blaze spread it got out of control and by the time ithad destroyed crops and a barn damage in the thousands had been caused as well as this three nearby towns provided fire trucks and crews which of course left their own places that much short of protection we do not hesitate to endorse the stand of council who balked at the prospect of paying well over two hundred dollars for the use of the fire trucks for their job is to protect the interests of the ratepayers of the township it would hardly be in their interest to spend their money to help extinguish the lire from a private wiener roast sidewalk o high school is urgent school days will soon be upon us again and following the start of the school session there is the fall season with its rainy weather and muddy roads the heat and lack of rain during the summer lull has apparently pushed to the background any thoughts of progress as far as putting in sidewalks to the high school are concerned the new structure has been opened for a year and still the distance from harold street north must bo covered by thse on foot over a gravel road think of the shoes of the pupils on wet days think of the janitor work involved to keep the new building clean but this is not entirely a school problem the school serves as a public building with special events taking place almost every week for the benefit of the entire village for these reasons a sidewalk is an ur gent mitter but the problem is how to make this sidewalk a reality council has agreed to do the job by local improve ment requiring a 70c petition but to date no action has been seen in this direction and it wouid appear for parents only the strain of fears by nancy cleaver in the institute o experi- f play fear of various things mental medicine and surgery j the dark animals loud noises moatreal dr hans selyesjsuch as thunder falling from a work has focused the attention high place and of strangers of everyone interested in health on the detrimental effect of stress in the lives of people today any student of children will testify that excessive fear puts a boy or girl under a tragic amount of sixain children should be allowed to speak of their fears their parents should tell tham that they krfovy that many little children are afraid at times but as they grow older they will grow braver and even how can fathers and mothers i laugh at the things which scar- best help the

or a truck is apt to run out en the road after a ball or hur ry across to see a chum on the other side of the street willi- child or a grownup who was also afraid and in spite of his fear did his duty or completed the job he had to do the constantly fearful child is a crippled child and no what are you waitln a fuse to blow it herself and receive a nasty burn the small boy who has no fear of the neighbors cat may tease the nussy once too men of goodwill among the many programmes on radio or television are several which raise money for people who are in serious trouble and need financial help there is a neverending stream of people who are willing to make their troubles known in an almost frantic appeal for help i know that there js considerable criticism of such appeals no doubt without some season but i am bound to say that the generous response of the public is ademonstration of warm heartedness and good will many sneer at such appeals and say they are emotional but what would human nature be without emotion we would be hard and callous and nobody would want to get married as an old scotch proverb- has it it is better for a pot to boil over than not to boil at all i have not much faith in people without sentiment and emotion i rememeer a man asking me to marry him on a wednesday afternoon he said that is my halfday off and i wouldnt want to lose half a days pay for the sake of getting married that poor bride the plain truth is that there are always a vast number of people who are having a hard time unexpected sickness acci dents and other misfortunes cause desperate situations and while there are grounds fox criticism on the whole thousands of needy people have been greatly helped we have to meet life in a practical way and like the good samaritan we must do good when the opportunity presents itself we all hear so much and read so much about the sinister side of life that we ignore the vast amount of kindness and warm sympathy which finds expression every day whenever the public is convinced that there is genuine need there will be a response neither creed nor colour or any class distinction makes any difference there is something in human nature which responds to real need this is the most practical form of religion and the most worth while no doubt as time goes on new methods of helping the unfortunate will be discovered but we are living today and must not waste time discussing theories some take the attitude that the more you do for others the more ungrateful they become i dont believe that except in rare cases when william pcnn went from england to establish his quaker settlement in what is now pennsylvania the previous settlers had fought constantly with the native indians there was such antagonism that no life was safe and bitter hatred prevailed pcnn met the indians with love and trust in his heart and with no firearms in his hands he accepted their word of honour and gave his pledge to them commenting on what harrened the historian macauley wrote william penn conquered the indians by his faith in them he will always be remembered as a lawmaker who in an age ol bitter persecution respected the dignity of even savages and made religious liberty a cornerstone of his policy william penn lived before his time but it paid off for no drop of quaker blood was ever shed by on indan our quotation today is

not loafers when the city person visits the small town lie is often mis led by a difference in mode of living that passes for something akin to leisure or deliberate loafing take for example two farmers sitting on a bench in front of the pool hall the ur- banite giving them a glance in passing sees two overalled and booted sons of the soil in the act of loafing but that is not the case what he is actual ly witnessing is a business con ference those calm appearing agri culturists are right in the midst of a deal that involves a consid erable amount of money all they need is a stub of pencil a scrap of paper and a cheque book what they accom plish is as significant as many a deal that is cooked up in a 10th floor office that is ankle deep in carpet and crowded with secretaries and clerks the city fellow might think the oldsters who loaf in the sun aiong our main thorough fares are complete idlers who have no counterpart in the ur ban areas but the murkv in- job of doing nothing the one great difference is that the rural loafer likes the great open spaces he likes to hobnob with his cronies in the bright sunlight and where na ture can get to him with a sup ply of pure air he is a robust loafer a well preserved specimen who will present himself at the family board three times a day for meals he may be slightly long on whiskers but he is also not ably short on ulcers so let the city visitor to the small town go slow before he makes any statement concern ing our village loafers they are just the same as the city club members only healthier canadian inter national

needed sidewalk should be borne by the village to ensure that a fine public building will be accessible by an equally fine approach at least council could bear the cost of all extra width editors mail editor the tribune dear sir in my humble opinion your editorial entitled immigrants oome but many leave is an apt and very timely contribu tion to this vital theme i par ticularly noted the accent plac ed on the following point bro ught forward by the montreal gazette saying it is now esti mated that in the 10year per iod ending last june about 256- 000 residents of canada moved across the border into the un ited states this equals 214 percent of all the immigrants who came to canada from all countries be that as it may and i have no doubt that if we were the populous land with 165 million canadians and a mere lovi million americans were strung out along our southern fence- line it would be a reverse movement and the cry would be northward hoi i feel like saying to your distinguish ed montreal contemporary o dry those tears the stubborn fact remains as one of the nations bank ing leaders put it a couple of years back for the first time in our history canada is re taining her immigrants ie the majority of them oven though the aforesaid 10year loss of a quartermillion in the past decade is also substantial ly on the fact target my trusty clippingbook sup plies the interesting data en abling both the above asser tions to be reasonably well factbased i quote the relevant figures during the century is 131913 the official records indicate that while an overall total of 6500000 immigrants came in at canadian ports-of- entry just 60000co emigrants moved in the opposite direc tion 82 percent of the latter flow going to united states so therefore it will be seen that while we lost over 00 out of every 100 immigrants over the above century 1s131013 though not necessarily the same individuals during the tonyear period ending last june apparently we retained just 73 percent of the 1000000 immigrants who came in at the ports this surely is a step in the right direction although there is still room for improve ment more mouths spell pros perity for
