thomas associate editor our editorial comment maybe you can help there is a critical shortage of help in the leadership department for the local boy scouts there has been adequate leadership for the cubs for some time and still is but there is room for considerably more help in the scouts the group to which these younger boys will graduate it is encouraging to note that interest in scouting right now is at an alltime high social experts in both canada and the united states rate these youth organizations as among the most important influences which counter the increase in juven ile delinquency along with religious groups of all kinds leadership has always been the great difficulty in a successful pro gram of this kind it is sometimes hard to interest boys today in such fine activities but it has always been a chore to find sufficient adults tc hold the groups together it is not always an entire lack of interest on the part of the adults but the result of such a busy social and business life of their own that time is always at a premium it should be pointed out that leadership does not necessarily lie only with those who have had pre vious experience in this kind of work the mo3t important requirement is a sincere interest in the development of youngsters if you can by any stretch of possibility spare the time to lend a hand in this important work please say the word the need is critical and the rewards are gratifying laff of the week why the leaves become colorful every autumn when nature puts on her color show one usually hears someone say that frost starts the leaves to turn varied hues depending on the tree species with the maple wearing the most elaborate finery a more plausible explanation for the phenomenon according to botan ists lies in the nature of the colors in leaves there are always several pigments present in leaf tissue rep resenting pigments are chlorophyll green acid anthocyans red car- otinoids yellow anthoxanthins orange and tannins brown during the growing season the heavy concentration of green pig ment masks and hides the others in autumn when cooler weather prevails the green chlorophyll breaks down this reveals the colors of other pigments ordinarily the yel lows will predominate should a high concentration of sugar be present however this will react with the yel lows and produce pigments that are scarlet or lavender this explains in part why the maples which are rich in sugar us ually present a wide array of brilliant tints while the oaks and beeches which contain large amounts of tan nin show shades of brown periods of cool sunny and dry weather are most favorable to the autumnal formation of tinted leaves a heavy frost can greatly diminish the abundance and intensity of the colors because it kills the leaves which then become a dull brown and begin to fall almost immediately canada encyclopedia work to cost 1000000 consists of 10 volumes theres so much paper on my desk theres almost a danger of starting a

similar to the oyter j and zouaves an army recruited you may have read in hilda m didleys biography of l m montgomery the story of an old man who came to visit lucy mauds childhood home he call ed the girl who later wrote the anne of green gables books johnny when she protested in childhood rage it was all in vain the visitor continued to tease her by calling her john ny the child was so annoyed that when it came time for him to go away she refused to shake hands with him he thought this was a great joke and laughed heartily i wont call you john ny any more he promised after this ill call you sam my the writer comments that to the old man the teasing of a touchy child was fun but to lucy maud it was poison she never afterwards heard the men tion of this old mans name with out a deep feeling of resent ment teasing is a mean business and parents as well as children resent an adult particularly one who is a guest indulging in this pastime the grownup teaser is taking advantage of his age and position he knows it is un likely that anyone will interfere with the fun he enjoys by in flicting criticism on a defence less child i have very vivid memories of a woman who teased my sis ter and myself about our height my younger sister grew taller than i was when she was twelve and i was sixteen this woman who teased us invariably would make a point of meeting us on the way home from sunday school she would giggle when ever she saw us together and exclaim in a shrill voice why the littler is the bigger i complained to mother with fire in my eye and dark threats about what i would like to do to thit woman mother was sil ent for a moment then she askj cd quietly since she makes you so mad why not make a i point of avoiding her why hadnt we thought of this sim ple solution from

editori to do that said dr rob- bin who modestly refused to include hk biography despite the insistence of his colleagues j by nancy cleaver we played a little game of not meeting our tormentor if a guest persists in teasing a child a parent does well to send the child on an errand thus the youngster is removed from the visitor who has such little sense when a child is teased by an other child parents must en courage him to develop a little thickness of skin it can be pointed out that a teaser soon stops if he finds his words are having no effect on the object of his ridicule here is an old- fashioned rhyme which has come to the rescue of countless children sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me mothers and fathers are often provoked by the teasing prob lem of their own family a cer tain amount is inevitable and has to be taken in good part but it must be kept within bounds an adolescent girl teas ed about a new party dress just before she steps out may be up set and her happiness shattered parents must help their children to see that laughter which is anything but enjoyable for the person being teased is undesir able boys and girls in early ado lescence are apt to be sensi tive they need their selfconfi dence built up by honest praise not pulled down with criticism they have to accept fair regu lations about the length of their conversations on the family phone but they should have some privacy for their phone visits how can they feel re laxed and at ease if they know a teaser is eavesdropping and will pounce as soon as they hang up the child who gets pleasure from teasing must find other socially acceptable ways to en joy himself parents should not label him as bad or selfish he should learn that persistent teasing is taboo one mother found it helpful to reassure a boy who constantly reduced his younger sister to tears with his remarks by saying to him lots of children want to tease and do a bit of it but most of them grow out of this bad habit by the time they are your age its a mean way to act and you arent a mean person copyright the quality of courage when former governor lehman of new york state was asked what quality he considered was most necessary for a man holding an important office in the country he promptly replied courage he spoke modestly not claiming that he had been the most courageous man living but he went on to say that combined with sincer ity courage was the chief essential it made me think of the many courageous people in humble life whose high courage is known only to god the brave fortitude is known to some because they are world figures but others equally brave are obscure and only the members of their own families know anything about them the famous journalist sir robertson nicoll once found in a secondhand bookstore a small book entitled the journal of emily shore which profoundly im pressed him with the fine quality of courage it recorded emily shore who was born in 1819 was the daugh ter of a clergyman living in an english village before she had reached her teens she showed unusual intelli gence in many ways at a very early age she began to keep a diary and she developed a clear simple and direct literary style she was fascinated by good books and even more so by what she saw in nature although probably owing to poor health she did not attend any school of higher learning she gained an excellent know ledge of french and latin and the list of books she managed to read leaves one breathless because of their wide range as well as their number the shadow of disease fell across her path and it became evident to her friends and to the girl herself that she could not live long it was the way in which she accepted her plight that deeply touched robertson nicoll she kept her diary for eight years describing her illness and the decision of her doctors yet there is not a line of selfpity or bitter reflection in it as the end drew near she continued her reading unabated and made such entries as the following in her journal god be praised for giving me such excellent parents they are more than any wishes could desire or more than any words could sufficiently praise their presence is like sunshine in my illness i feel weaker each day and i suppose i am beginning to sink still i can at times take up my pen i have had my hair cut off papa wants to have a chain made of it mamma wants one too emily shore died in 1839 before she had reached her twentieth year leaving behind her the fragrance of a beautiful life a life revealing a courage seldom equalled on the battlefield and an undimmed faith in the wisdom and goodness of god there are no more encouraging chapters in history than those which record the magnificent struggles of men and women against ill health over and over human beings have shown enduring courage in face of circum stances that threatened to crush the spirit as well as the body the heroism of these handicapped people is as noble as that manifested on any battlefield and bears significant testimony to the true nobility and dignity of human nature there is always in the world a vast army which cannot be numbered of people who refuse to be defeated who maintain cheerfulness and buoyancy of spirit when to the onlooker the fight seems hopeless a list of courageous invalids would include sir walter scott who as a result of a fever when he was a child was a cripple for life isaac watts most prolific of hymn writefs who dragged a misshapen body for over seventy years but whose spirit was never crushed alexander pope who could not stand erect without the aid of canvas supports and beethoven whose deafness prevented him from hearing his own music we mention such cases not because they are unique but because little information concerning them is avail able there is not a community in this whole vast country which has not one or more invalids whose magnificent valiant endurance has been a source of wonder and indirectly a source of inspiration to others they have shamed others out of their complaining and made them feel that their troubles were trivial we salute these heroes and thank god for them our quotation today by george a morrison cour age is not the absence of fear but the conquest of it civil defence has a plan to protect canadians both from h bomh blasts and deadly radio active fallout footbaij by rev r ii harper kickoff this or that yard line forward pass goal and try for extra point are words on the air on the football field and out on the radio all over the land and no longer can the college wag paraphrase some lines of the psalm of life to say lives of football men remind us that they write their names in blood and departing leave behind them half their fces in the mud for much of the hazard and the danger of personal injury has been reduced by more open play and safeguards for the men who battle on the gridiron but much is also due to long prac- i tice and hardening training in this we are reminded of what paul wrote about keeping his body under he was evi dently familiar with if not a patron of the olympic games and knew of the rigorous train ing required why not learn something more than the score in watching a football game do you keep your body under by abstaining from everything that would hurt the body do you give attention to things that will contribute to 1 your growth in knowledge and grace by doing so you can j attain unto strength of soul world day j for animais i be diligent to know the state 1 of thy flocks and look well to thy herds proverbs have you ever noticed how- like little children animals can be when they are well cared for kindly treated regularly fed and watered and given sufficient ground to play and exercise in particularly outdoors during the long warm summer days how they love the feel and taste of green grass and herbs enjoy the cool comfortable shade when the sun is overly hot even a patch of clean dirt or sand to roll in just like boys and girls too love to do at times it is to them as a cool swimming pool is to us when it is hot and humid it helps to keep their coats clean and healthy free from parasites or scurf which torment and rob them of rest i have watched young rabbits and foxes roll in the freshly plowed ground that way and they seemed to enjoy it so unless animals can be brush ed daily this bath is really a must particularly with pigs whose skin constantly sheds fine dry scales or dandruff causing extreme itchiness it i little short of cruelty to deny them this good turn if if cannot be provided indoors they should be turned ovit periodically so that they may obtain it them selves in the field or even in the stableyard the same applies to fowls it is an inexpensive way of keeping them healthy and at the same time giving them some of their just share of fresh air and sunshine but much as animals and birds like mud and fresh dirt they also love cleanliness have you ever watched little pigs for in stance when they are being cleaned out and given a fresh bedding of straw they are so delighted they just dont know what to do they inhale the sweet smell dive almost right through the heap take as much as they can hold in their mouth then shake it so hard they all but fall over sometimes they start to circle around and round the heap until it seems such a lot of fun that even the mother pig feels she too must do the same they keep this up until all the straw is spread out it is a treat to watch them and is their way of expressing their joy and saying thank you good good master the same applies to other animals except that little calves love to kick up their heels until eventually they must be taught not to do that again unless they are out side where they can fling them to the sky if they want to yes clean wellkept animals are happy contented animals the joy and pride of their owner time and money where their welfare and wellbeing is con cerned should never be consider ed for they are and have been through the ages mans best servants no one can overesti mate their value i like to re member my father saying that he hoped there would be at least horses and cattle in heav en and i am sure that theyll all be there i have before me a recent history of my home town which was carved out of the uncharted wilderness of the north west territories my fa ther was one of the first to see the clearing upon which this proud little town now stands and make the mounds where government steel pegs were later put in it tells of the tre mendous work done with their splendid horses and oxen work which without them could never have been accomplished it de scribes how two lads with their dad travelled 220 miles on horse back herding their fiocis of 240 sheep and 70 cattle into this vast unexplored area of the earth and how through the long hard trek the animals walk ed before them as if they under stood perfectly what they were to do one would think the cat tle in particular would run ev erywhere and perhaps even get lost but not so they fohowed the straight and narrow path until some fourteen days later they were given a goodly re ward in the form of a rich luscious meadow and a beauti ful lake close to the clearing where they remained to graze unfenced until bidden to move on again to a better pasture stiu this speaks well indeed for the animals for the loving cre ator who made them so meek and intelligent it also spoaks well for the wild beasts for if sheep lambs calves could dwell safely in such a land then the wolf and the bear cannot be as ferocious as we picture them today i cannot recall hearing a single complaint against the wildlife though the forest rourd about teemed with them therefore if as we say the wolf and the bear are actually savage then it truly can be said that it is the white man who made them so through hli shameful cruel treatment ot them may god forever bless the animals and birds and make us more worthy to have them mrs dolores devereh its easier for a man to con sult his wife before he buys her a birthday present than making her change it afterwards rojky theatre- eeningi doors opes 630 pm
