of neignborliness there was a time and stiil is in some places where acts of lieighborliness were given without thought or question this was particularly true in the pioneer days in this and other sections of the country mere need was acted upon no matter whether it was sickness or work or play but in the cities it seems the spirit of neighborli- ness declines in the rush of modern living its

winter habits the first skiff of snow serves as a reminder that it is time for all those who use the streets ill any way on foot bicycle in an automobile or what-have- you to brush up on good winter safety habits motorists are aware that it takes longer to bring a vehicle to a stop on snowcovered roads especially newlyfallen snow and they are also aware that a car can behave in distressing fashion in snow unless skill is employed by the driver pedestrians are generally aware that a car cannot avoid them as easily in con gested winter traffic and therefore it is up to them to cross streets only at designated points even then the approach of a car on snowcovered streets should be sufficient to remind the pedestrian that the distance and time factor has to be extended and what would be a safe crossing under ideal conditions mightnt be so in wintertime traffic safety is a manyway street in which all who are involved in travel by whatever means are urged to cooperate in the

an arduous christmas with its supreme good time to consider the question of world peace it is so easy to become cynical about the matter previous attempts have been thwarted so often and jealousies and antipathies are so easily aroused that the idealists become dismayed but a few things should be remembered a centuby aco warfare between nations seemed inevitable tennysons couplet expressed the general feeling theirs not to reason why theirs but to do and die small croups of mex in various countries decided foreign policies and expenditures were made with little or no consul tation of the people marked advance has been- made in this respect the building of a new warship called for explanation people at least want to know the reason why not many think ing people regard war as inevitable at least in lands where freedom of press is permitted the extent to which radio is used is bound to lead to wider understanding between nations even in places where there is little freedom cf speech in spite of those who fear peace is a pipedream it can be said that a century even half a century has seen a big step forward in thousands of pulpits the subject has been discussed there can be very few ministers of religion of any group who have not earnestly prayed that what sometimes looks like a conflagration may be the dawn of a better day the churches the press and scores of other agencies no longer think of peace as a pipedream a story is told of an indian holy man who lived on a few handfulls of rice each day and drew around him in the sand a circle into which no one of inferior cast might come one day the shadow of an englishman fell within the circle the indian walked to a river threw away his rice and went that day unfed rather than eat food which he thought had been defiled we must resrecr a man with such convictions no matter how much we may disagree with him that man and millions like him reveal a capacity for selfdenial which we cannot but admire but more and more idealism in modern times lends to express itself in promoting wellbeing whatever cynics may say it is true that leaders in various lands arc turning their efforts to make this world a better place in which to live no music has ever reen composm nor any picture painted which did not in the beginning exist in someones thought the artist first saw the picture with his minds eye and the architect saw the building before the foundation was dug it was said of christopher wren that he thought in cathedrals a eritish writer says we must ask all aggressive invaders to examine their motives that question itself would often break down their impulse to fight no matter how disappointed men may be with recent events most will agree that wars of aggres sion arc decidedly out of favour tun process cf eliminating war is terribly low and there is no quick and easy way to bring it about there is the constant fear of pessimism and cynicism but the first gray streaks of dawn have appeared these
