thomas associate editor our editorial comment moving in right direction stouffville municipal council is moving in the right direction in ap praising new type street lights in town and we trust preparing to pur chase some of these new fixtures two of the new lights are already installed as samples and two more of a different type are on the way stouffville on the whole is very poorly lighted particularly in the residential areas there are instances where there are entire blocks of homes with only a single light at each end of the street the wattage is small and should be hoisted particu larly at intersections most streets have in use the same type of fixture that was used here thirty years ago and even these are hung on the poles so low to the ground that they light only a small circle immediately below the lamp necessary rain the generous rainfall last week was easily soaked up by the parched earth and was highly welcome in this district where precipitation since early in the year has been much be low normal the intermittent show ers were like a benediction from heaven it was indeed a million dollar rain and that is probably an under statement in these days of inflation the rain although it hindered outdoor activities brought joy it had a pleasant sound on the roof it sang in the eaves as it rushed from waterspout it had a sound of aban don as though it were happy to be released from clouds and permitted once more to seek deep wells and un derground caverns or move into brooks and rivers rain may keep us indoors but when growing things are thirsty it confers a favor with its presence tranquilizers heres one we filched from the elmina signet hope you like it some months ago an expert on home furnishings was quoted in a national home magazine he remark ed that not one home in twenty has a rocking chair or maybe he said not one in 90 we forget it was not always so fifty years ago a home was poor indeed if it did not have one or several when com pany came to call good manners told you to offer the rocking chair more comfortable chairs were distinguished in those days as straight chairs and rockers mother rocked as she cro cheted and mended babies were rocked on the front porch moving with the sun now and then shifting off a creaking board rocking had a soothing sort of effect in the early 1900s nowadays mom and dad take a tranquilizer instead somehow the rocking chair has been replaced by a tin of green pills if the truth were known most people would prefer the rocking chair for parents only the summer job by nancy cleaver a summer job often gives an older boy or girl not only money but the chance to learn more about the choices of life work that lie ahead of them the decision about a vocation is one of the most important a young person makes often it is hard to persuade a teenage boy to stay on at school and study for his matriculation after tast ing the satisfaction of money of his own earned on a summer job young people long to be in dependent financially and other wise and one of the greatest ser vices parents can perform for their children is to make staying on at school as attractive as pos- sible in later life a man or woman often bitterly regrets not being able to qualify for a par- ticular job because of lack of education some families are so hard i pressed for money that the chili dren must add to the income as soon asthey are able but now- 1 adays the family allowance plan makes it possible for many chil dren to remain at school until they arc sixteen scholarships and bursaries bring further study within the reach of many talented scholars and one of the resolutions of the national conference on edu cation which met in ottawa ear ly this year dealt with an ade quate student aid program from provincial and federal govern ments and industrial business and other institutions a librarian at a public library will often recommend helpful reading on different vocations books on biography give inter esting glimpses of people at work famous women by byrne hope saunders publish ed recently by clarke irwin is an outstanding book of this type which would be a fine addi tion to a family library parents need to be quietly helpful understanding and yet not too dominant as they watch their children choose their car eers parents should guide ra ther than arbitrarily select a vocation for the world is full of men and women whose car eers were chosen for them by parents and who were miser able all their working days even if older folk are dis appointed by a young persons selection they should comfort themselves with the thought that they tried their best to guide their children aright many young persons are not sure what they want to do and this period of indecision is hard on all concerned nevertheless there should be no haste and it may well be that the youngster would be well advised to try several jobs before making a flral choice the first fulltime job is of great importance to your son or daughter the success of this work experience may color an adolescents attitude to earning a living throughout the tost of his life on the day a boy or girl sets out to apply for a job a mother should make certain the youth presents a good appearance clean neat and suitable clothes make a favorable impression on the business executive a pleas ant manner and a quiet self- confidence make a good impres sion too if the first job suits the requirements of the son or daughter parents should do everything possible to encour age the youngster to apply him self and prepare for advance ment there is a certain amount of drudgery to every job and since tomorrows promotion is built on todays honest labor the young employee should adapt himself to his work determined to do the drudgery with the same thoroughness that he would give to a wellliked piece of work in time the drudgery will quietly fade to the back ground and the youngster then will attack these unattractive pieces of work as just some thing that is a part of the days work after the youngster has set tled down to his job parents can make an important contri bution by making his home life as pleasant as possible by show ing an interest in the many fac ets of his work by encouraging him to put everything he has into the job so that when the time for promotion draws near he will be ready for a better job when this achievement has been reached the youngster will have his foot on the bottom rung of the ladder to success and parents will rejoice that they had a hand in preparing him

the week ggisl wipe your feet wipe ynur nose wtoe li duies thats the story of my life uneventful living at the turn of the century a lad in the north of england met with a serious accident which has affected his whole life whjle playing with some other boys he injured his knee so badiy that his leg had to be amputated a few months later the disease spread to his left arm and it also led to further amputation for fiftyfive years this man now seventy years of age has made the best of life in the main cheerful and without bitterness i have corresponded with him for many years but a letter he wrote last christmas saddened me he said x have dragged myself through an uneventful and unsuccessful life for over half a century actually his life has not been uneventful until his retirement recently he has worked regularly taken an active part in the life of his church and made hundreds of friends who respect and love him he has never married nor been able to follow the usual recreations of other men but has counted for a good deal in a wide circle in the hundreds of letters i have had from him i cannot recallone line of bitterness or selfpity he has won a supreme victory and has never worn any crepe on the doorbell his wounds have been invisible like king hezekiah written of in 2 kings 630 he wore sackcloth within upon his flesh only at that moment did the people realize that underneath his purple splendor the king was wearing the coarse irritating sackcloth recently i read some thing about a really great man whom i admire but one sentence disappointed me his biogra pher said he has never understood unsuccessful men in fact he has no patience with them i suppose that most men who have been very successful feel much the same way they think what they have done others should be able to do but who is going to say what is a successful life and what is uneventful living the late george jackson said life is often compared to a race but one thing is certain we dont start off evenly a verse in the bible that should be a comfort to us is shall not the judge of all the earth do right i never see a volume of whos who without wonder ing on what basis the selections are made only god knows who are the people of distinction in any country and whose lives are eventful or otherwise when i was a lad we had successive ministers in our local church and one of these men i remember clearly his chief characteristic was his belief in the decency and dignity of people people in his eyes seemed so much better than they were reputed to be and thought themselves to be no life appeared to be uneventful or unsuccessful it is the really great man as g k chesterton said who makes others feel great the big man never disparages others napoleon spent the closing months of his life on st helena wondering how many pages future historians would devote to his career it is a sorry spectacle to think of a man with eyes thus turned inward probably the most farreaching events of history have never been written the most- valuable members of society have been like the foundation stones of some giant bridge unseen but necessary that was a timely reminder that ella wheeler wilcox made for the disappointed ones there are songs enough for the hero who dwells on the heights of fame i sing of the disappointed for those who have missed their aim i sing for the breathless runner the eager anxious soul who falls with his strength exhausted almost in sight of the goal and i know the solar system must somewhere keep in space a prize for that spent runner who barely lost the race for the plan would be imperfect unless it held some sphere that paid for the toil and talent and love that are wasted here our quotation today is by w l walkinson every day of living determines what the soul will do in a crisis for and about teenagers the problem of teenage marraiges what is the answer or is there an answer to the question of teenage marriages this is a much too difficult problem to come up with a straight it is all right or ten- agers should not get married to begin with many teenag ers are too immature for mar riage mentally they are still children on the other hand i have known many successful marriages where both parties were teenagers when they mar ried most important i think is for the teenager who is con sidering marriage to seek the advice and counsel of his par ents and minister they have the experience and ability to help the teenager with his problem the economic problems cre ated by teenage marriage are many and not easily overcome from this point of view the teenager should take a long steady look at the future be fore he or she plans a wedding it is the boys duty and re sponsibility to support the fam ily in this competitive world this is sometimes most difficult without proper education or job training any young couple planning marriage must face this prob lem realistically should the boy delay the marriage until he has completed or well advanced his studies or job training i think so to all teenagers i would say plan your future your mar riage your life you will find that this planning will insure a future of
