pubilhr ju thoxai assoc editor laff of the week j signs of autumn tree foliage has almost completed its mission and in some instances the leaves are becoming rusty fruit grows large on the pear tree apple trees are so heavy that the orchardist is propping boughs against breakage the zinnia border is losing color the sun which set far toward the north has come almost halfway on the horizon span it will cover by late december in less than one week day and night will be equal after that autumn will be here by the calendar glass on the streets although tires are tougher than they used to be broken glass can still ruin them cause punctures and even blowouts judging from the amount of broken glass strewing peterborough streets one would think that a national safety council had given its approval to this sort of road surfacing the fact is that it is still an offence a crime to leave splinters of glass on thestreets and highways the highway traffic act specifically requires that a person who has had an accident in which windshields bottles or any other form of glass litter the road shall ensure that it is cleaned up as soon as possible it is the responsibility of the person who has had the mis hap not the job of the city to sweep up the glass if a case of milk or pop bottles crashes the truck driver should have a broom to sweep up the litter and he should use it if an individual shopper drops a bot tle he can surely borrow a broom nearby if there is a tar crash the towtruck should automatically include n its assignment the job of cleaning up the glass it is due to heedlessness not lack of means that broken glass is left on the roads people say oh veil someday soon the city sweepers will be around f hat is not good enough perhaps if some examples kere made in magistrates court the neglect of this minor obligation would be arrested to find the culprit tnight in some cases take the police an hour or two but the time would be well spent if a charge resulted and the public generally got the idea that broken glass is legally offensive peterborough examiner excellent idea the decision by provincial authorities to give a red badge of dishonour in the form of a distinguishing license reinstatement form to drivers who are con victed of drunk driving is a good one it might have been wise to have presented these drivers with an additional memento of their drunken driving spree which would have identified them more readily to the general public such a distinguishing mark could have taken the form of a windshield sticker or some such marking which would be easy to discern however we believe the present ruling is in good taste and will go a long way towards having a sobering effect on drivers it isnt likely that many drivers will relish having on their iierson even such a normally well concealed form of identity which can be demanded at any time by the law and which would immediately reveal a drunk drivitfg conviction authorities might now consider a multicolour sys tem of license reinstatement forms thus associating the possessor with his or her particular driving con viction the red is quite suitable for drunk driv ing blue would serve for criminal negligence and so forth at the same time our lawmakers could give some thought to suspending licenses for more minor offences which while the immediate consequences were not grave might well have been under slightly diff- rent circumstances there cannot be too much stress placed on the need for finding ways and means of reducing highway tragedies one of the best ways seems to be give proven negligent drivers a nice long rest from behind the wheel lindsay post dairymen arc now asking ixwer pricosffor butler the leaders of canadas dairy industry have changed their tune from that which we have heard for some years past the dairy council of canada heard its leaders make a plea to the government to lower butter prices so that it could compete more effectively with margarine for years the dairy industry carried on a battle to have the former ban on margarine continued fail ing in that they asked for and in some provinces secured restrictions on margarine particularly with respect to its color i at the same time they demanded and secured a floor price on butter by which the government at ottawa purchases all supplies of butter at 58 cents a pound this kept up the returns to the producer and at the same time the retail price to the consumer as a result of this floor price arrangement the government now has on its hands 115 million pounds of butter for which it has no market some quantities have been sold to european countries at prices much lower than the floor price involving the government in heavy losses there is merit in the argument that if the prices paid by other countries going further than the- theme of last weeks editorial which supported the idea of a government floor price for butter it would seem mot just that those who provide the funds to pay the tloor price should reap the benefit of a lower retail rate rut the dairy farmers are going a little too far in asking the government as r matter of fixed policy to continue paying the floor price of 58 cents a pound to the producer resell it at a price competitive with margarine and aborb the loss we doubt if any gov ernment would adopt such a policy as we have said before it would be much better for the government to pet out of the butter business and let the law of supply and demand operate to let the price find its own proper level rather disconcertlnc isnt she somebody elses

distinguished themselves and they are referred to as also rans it is not a complimentary term in any walk of life the number of distinguished persons is not large at best about one or two percent the rest are ordinary mundane individuals who also ran late in life that giant in heart and mind phillips brooks said i would like to have been captain of a great ocean liner that is not h3rd to believe he was a born leader of men and it is difficult to imagine him in any other role in most people there is a desire to know the direction in which one is going and if possible to know what the outcome of lifes experiences will be they like to stand upon the captains bridge yet ix the greatest concern of all matters of the soul complete knowledge is denied there is continual need for faith and the best and wisest feel it a beautiful poem by john t mcfarland expresses this truth i go not where i will but must this planet ship on which 1 ride is drawn by a resistless tide i touch no pilot wheel but trust that one who holds the chart of stars whose fathomlines touch lowest deeps whose eye the boundless spaces sweeps will guide the ship through cosmic bars my soul goes not a chosen way a

at sea for the benefit of spectators on shore from the beginning of time there have been men and women weighted down with responsibilities and they need our sympathy and prayers elijah once cried in

once invited charles sumner to meet a distinguished guest at her home but he said scornfully i do not know that i wish to meet your friend i have outlived my inter est in individuals in contrast to that surly and ungracious attitude paul stresses the truth as did his master before him that god is tremendously interested in individuals indeed it has been said that the three classes of people jesus had most frequently in mind were the last the least and the lost the writer once had conversation with an old superannuated minister who had outlived by twenty years the psalmists span of threescore and ten the aged man told of days when tra velling was exceedingly difficult and hardships a daily lot with perfect frankness he told of what he considered had been his own limitations as a minister he summed itup by saying i did not always get on well and i made some serious mistakes but i did the best i could our quotation today is by browning all service ranks the snmc with god

understand these 2 words but a imall child doe- do you use them in your home im verv sorry lady but i need your money said a gun man no long ago 10 the eerk i a dry cleaning store as he removed eighteen dollars from the till politeness does not excuse thieving but mrs souter the clerk in charge of the store was almost as much surprised at the bandits softspoken po lite remark as she was at the appearance of his nickelpated revolver im sorry why i it so sp dom that this phrase is heard why is it so hard to say think hack over the last year or the last month how many times has someone expressed this re gret to you how often have you said thee simple words to someone else unfortunately many adults pride themselves on never apol ogizing to anyone can they really believe that they never make any mistakes can they imagine that they never cause others embarrassment or an noyance im sorry just isnt in their vocabulary they seem to con- elude that offering an apology is a demeaning sort of thing to do im not going to crawl before anyone asking his par don they boas there are other people who have suffered under the fool- i ish apologies at the first of an address which many inexper ienced speakers use they are as cynical about the value and the sincerity of many regrets which are expressed in the give and take between people a socalled selfmade man often used this quotation heres good advice never offer an apology your friends dont need one and your enemies wont believe you strangely enough the very parents who will not say im sorry sometimes attempt to train their children to express sorrow when they harm or of fend each other bill puts out jiis foot and trips his little bro- ther tim when tim runs to unother with his eyes streaming and a bump on his forehead mother chases bill till she finds him then she stands over bill until hes told tim hes sorry helen has been teasing her folder sister and calling her fatty father indignantly sends helen to her room stay ithere until you are sorry for the mean way you are behav ing he calls after her some mothers claim that there is no point in making a child say im sorry if he doesnt feel sorry they are convinced that to do this is just training a youngster in hy- pocrisy others believe that when a child acts in a thought less unkind way to make him say im sorry impresses on him that his behaviour is un desirable whatever your opinion on this is it is important that both you and your child realize that everyone commit blunders which hurt other people when this happens it is only court eous to say im sorry and mean it to fail to express re gret is to act in a very im mature boorish way in our own homes and among our own acquaintances lets show our children that when we see we have blundered we can have the grace to say im sorry those two little words spok en sincerely can work magic a strained relationship can be restored to normal understand ing and harmony ran return if you doubt the value of apolo gizing forget your pride next 1 time you are in the wrong and i say im sorry j even if this is received with coldness or even hostility yon i will have done your part its worth a trial
