of the week h holin mfcto jj tbomu kiiodtu edrtor what if canadians were as ignorant it is plain to see that canadian history isnt a part of the american students curriculum the aver age college boy or girl in the united states knows little or nothing about canada and from the answers given on american tv and radio quiz programs its not likely they will learn a great deal from their parents men and women in the usa are equally ignorant of our country only recently we heard this question asked on a popular us television quiz show who is canadas prime minister the contestant unhesitatingly replied mr eden its really hard to believe but its true recently a speech was given in a us community by an official from the canadian consulate in chicago robert f renwick it included the usual information about trade markets the tourist business etc the meeting really got down to facts however concerning canadianamerican life in a question period which followed it was stated that canada pays taxes to britain this however is not true as canada is politic ally independent of great britain as it is of the usa what would an american think if canadians be lieved slavery still exists in the southern states yet canada never paid taxes to britain while slavery was legal in the united states and the antacedent british colonies for 150 years or more in building up the myth of the american demo cracy it is unfortunate that even simple basic facts about her closent neighbor are neglected rundown communities lose out recently a us town lost its chance for thriving prosperity because of its shabby unpainted appear ance and apparent lack of progress the town council had interested an automobile manufacturing firm in a town site for a multimillion dollar assembly plant which would have employed 3500 people the real estate scout for the automotive firm admitted later that one of his companys reasons for rejecting the site was that many of the towns properties had not been painted for 25 years it would be interesting to know how many canad ian communities are guilty of having lost badlyneeded industries because of such a needless reason there is no doubt that most canadian centres are anxious to attract industry the more industries the more em ployment opportunities there are for its citizens the local per capita tax load is usually reduced more money pours into the coffers of local businesses which in turn may expand their premises and staffs industry of course takes several factors into con sideration before finally resolving to locate is there a good water and power supply is the labor supply adequate are there suitable schools and churches several other factors are studied suppose several communities possess equally suit able facilities which one will be chosen as an indust rial site as a veteran real estate scout from one large canadian firm put it considering all other things are equal we would undoubtedly give the nod to the tidy wellpainted and landscaped location we believe the citizens of such a place are industrious conscien tious and possess pride in their community we feel they would make good employees and fine neighbors rural disgrace have you ever motored through the countryside and viewed the playgrounds surrounding some of our rural public schools during the months of july and august if so as i have you have probably noticed the disgraceful conditions which exist during the sum mer holiday period many school grounds in our own local communities are allowed to grow up wild with every noxious weed known to mankind to a stranger passing through it would be surmised that the school building was no longer in use or that the board of trustees was very much lethargic in its duties since students nave returned to their respective schools for the fall term these conditions in the majority of cases have been corrected but why must the trustees wait until the eleventh hour to right such a condition every year township councils are becoming more weed conscious in order to enforce their wishes the weed inspector has the power after a certain length of time to step in to neglected properties and personally see that the land is cleaned up the cost of the work is then charged back on the property owners tax bill if lot owners and farmers are com pelled to keep their lands free of weeds why should trustee boards be allowed to let school playgrounds grow up wild it is true that rural school boards are comprised mainly of farmers who during the summer months are up to their eyes in work but this is no excuse to allow such unsightly conditions to exist usually by the first week in september many weeds have gone to seed and the next year sees the situation worsened gremlins a pest to every newspaper every newspaper whether it be daily or weekly is plagued with unseen mischief makers known as gremlins or in the language of the fourth estate the miscues are generally called typographical errors possibly the worst place one of these mistakes can occur is in an obituary generally the occasion is a sad one and some frivolous error such as the casket was borne to he grave by six old fiends doesnt help matters the next worst place is probably in an account of a wedding a serious happy occasion yet errors of this type have occurred in the past and no doubt will continue to do so a collection of some of these editors headaches have been gathered together and although somewhat humorous to the average reader they no doubt have turned many a publishers hair prematurely gray they are typical of those that have appeared in the original copy which was not properly edited others are mental lapses by linotype operators the bride wa given in marriage by her father wearing her

fell better jidt let us all sing within the covers of almost any hymn book are hymns written by men and women of various denominations and holding widely different views probably here more than any where else is to be found the broadest basis of church union onward christian soldiers was written by baring gould a widely known anglican clergyman and a vigorous leader of his day abide with me which according to a recent poll in britain is the best loved hymn of today was also written by an anglican the rev henry f lyte lead kindly light written by henry newman who left the anglican church to become a priest and eventually a cardinal in the roman cath olic church is a favorite in all churches jesus lover of my soul was written by charles wesley brother of john wesley originator of methodism henry ward beecher considered this the finest hymn in our language and many would agree with him sara flower adams author of nearer my god to thee was a unitarian and john greenleaf wittier who wrote dear lord and father of mankind when on my day of life the night is falling was a quaker isaac watts perhaps the most prolific of all hymn writers was a theologian holding evangelical views many of his hymns are among the bestknown in our language among others he wrote o god our help in ages past which was the most popular in the first world war in an age of bitter controversy watts remained charitable and tolerant more than seventy of his hymns are in constant use in his day william cowper was considered by many the most popular poet of his time the critic charles lamb said cowper was the wisest and best of britains poets his fame as a hymn writer is most enduring among his bestknown hymns are hark my soul it is the lord sometimes a light surprises and god moves in a mysterious way when the british magazine john olondons weekly queried its readers for their preferences this last hymn was ranked very highly his religious views were similar to those of wesley and watts a hymn found in hymn books of nearly all denominations is jesus the very thought of thee written in the twelfth century by the french monk bernard of clarivaus he was founder of the monastery of clarivaus and author of many theological treatises the hymn was translated from latin into english over a century ago the hymns just mentioned were written by men who were far apart in their theological views but absolutely one in their deep devotion to god and this devotion is recognized by every religious group who sing the hymns without giving a single thought to their authorship we forcot to mention the calvinist augustus toplady author of rock of ages who for instance ever stops to inquire about topladys views before singing that deeply moving hymn and so it is with all hymns we sing them because they do something to us and we recognize the spirituality of the author apart altogether from their views when we attend a religious service no matter what the denomination may be we sing and enjoy the hymns because we feel in the same spirit as the man who wrote them when a hymn is announced no reasonable person would think of looking in the hymn book to see who the writer was or find out what system of theology he believed in we find that we centre our minds on the words of the hymn itself perhaps we are nearer to god in such a mood than at any other time it may be that christian people will be united through the medium of hymns more than any spoken word our quotation today is by f w faber for right is right since god is god and right the day must win in the editors
