ttf 2 the siourrvule to18uhe ttocafay ut jeditoriae comfort amid the present political and economic difficulties being exper ienced in canada there is some com fort in a small item of news offered in a recent publication of the federal department of trade and commerce from it we have learned that imports of acetylsalicylic acid the principal component of headache pills have increased substantially in re cent years from 417000 worth a few years ago to the latest annual figure 5509000 worth the statistics give rise to the not unpleasant thought that if cranial pains are growing so is our ability to abate them hard on the head it is rather amazing to this writer that the socalled safety- conscious car manufacturers will put shatterproof glass in their wind shields then allow it to be thoroughly tested with human heads due to an absence of standardized safety belts on sunday evening a 22 year old ajax girl was tossed headlong through the front window when the car in which she was a passenger crashed into another on the county road east of stouffville the padded instrument panel was of little use the shatterproof windshield didnt help but we are certain that a safety belt would have provided all the pro tection needed in this particular case as long as the installation plan is left in the lap of the individual the majority of drivers and passen gers will deny themselves this extra piece of equipment let the car makers make the move so all will benefit rural foresight we were pleased last week to learn that the old bell that has beckoned children to the greenwood public school for over a century will be moved to a place of prominence atop the new 5room structure that will be erected nearby we know that the boards decision to retain this historical landmark will meet with the approval of longtime resi dents in the area we do not hold with the idea that everything old should be placed on a pedestal and worshipped we feel however that the historical sig nificance between this rooftop chimes and a modern school structure is of such contrast that both should be linked together in the one transfor mation we do not doubt that this bell might be worth several hundreds of dollars on the antique items market by the same token it should be worth many times this sum to the districts rural citizenry and who knows unless todays modern gener ation is more fleet of foot than their forefathers the bell may yet be put to a practical service could cost taxpayer money at the current meeting of the stouffville public utilities commis sion commissioner w d atkinson reintroduced the suggestion that the town should be required to pay to the commission a rental fee for each fire hydrant in the town this is not new a good many years ago rental was charged for fire hydrants at that time it was only a book entry as council operated the utility how ever since it was merely taking the money out of one pocket and putting it in the other the rental was dis continued should the present public util ities commission make such a move it would be a direct charge on the taxpayers to be paid for out of the towns tax budget the commission is not short of funds and in fact has the largest surplus in both utilities ever carried hydrant rental is not a must and is strictly at the option of the commission as was pointed out at the commission meeting council could react with an assessment levy against the commissions water lines and this could be far in excess of any hydrant rental such a move again is an option of council however either way the taxpayer would suff er he would have to pay the hydrant rental out of his taxes and if council chose to boost the town assessment through assessment on the commis sions water lines the county would step in and take a bigger slice of ths taxpayers levy either way the move only spells more expense for john public and in our opinion should be left alone doctors strike should be a warning saskatchewans battle between the doctors and the government should be a warning to other pro vincial governments to take it easy before instituting drastic socialist plans business and professional people will not take kindly to sudden ly being put under government con trol in this connection most business people find the yoke of government control heavy enough as it is without still further restrictions the battle in our western pro vince is being closely watched and could well set the pattern for similar development across the dominion outside the province there appears to be a general feeling that the doctors ought not to strike many think they could indicate their disfavour in some other way such as by not filing any of the forms required however at present observers say that the people of the embattled province generally do not blame the doctors speaking for the doctors we believe that their reaction at sudden ly finding themselves employees of the government is cuite understand able few who voted the government into office after its medicare cam paign realized the implications of the control which such socialism ne cessitates they were obviously only voting for the benefits of the insur ance plan government has shown by this latest move that it can take over and control a minority group such as the doctors or at least attempt to do so people should now reflect that if it can take over a minority group it can take over a majority group as well and no business or professional group would be safe democracy and free enterprise as we have always under stood them would find themselves on the way out what solution will be forthcom ing in saskatchewan is difficult to say the government can hardly be expected to withdraw the plan and the doctors seem equally determined to maintain their freedom here in ontario the government went at the problem of medical care in a piecemeal manner with the hos pital insurance now underway other government may give thought that is a much better plan

cant expect a fellow to turn out the deep thoughtful stuff that usu ally appears in this space when hes on his holidays holidays he says what is there about a relaxedlooking man that brings out the con struction foreman m every woman i havent been so busy since i worked midnight to noon shift on the lake boats twenty years ago i put the lawn chair out in the morning and never get near it again un til its timeto put it away at night every time i turn around the old lady shoves a discloth into my hand every time i stick my nose out of the door the kids descend on me waving swimming suits badminton racquets or cans of worms have you tried a zippy game of badminton with a 14yearold in the noonday sun lately mac try it and join me in the coro nary ward m and then theres the perpe tual weeding my wife put in some vegetables this year and youd swear that dismal little plot was the garden of eden the way she watches it some puny weed dares stick its head up among her seven potato plants and youd think it was a rattlesnake at a sunday school picnic the way she goes after it i knew the whole thins was a mistake in the first place and i told her so when she was spading it up but she paid no heed so i let her do the wee ing in the garden and i handle the weadlng in the bathroom another great time consumer is the guest list we spend hours trying to fit people in when you live in vacation coun try as we do this is just part of the annual summer deal but its rather alarming when you begin counting the number of people who are coming to visit you and discover youre going to have a bigger turnover than the nearest resort hotel right now were booked solid through july and have only a few vacancies in august the kids havent slept in their own beds for so long they feel look and act like vagrants im never quite sure what woman is go ing to be getting breakfast when i come down in the morn ing there have been two novel and pleasant pastimes for the family this summer however in both of them were about ten years behind the rest of the country but thats the way we seem to operate in our family were so busy trying to keep up with the smileys that we havent time even to look around for the joneses let alone keep up with them the first of our new activi ties is outdoor cooking a fw years ago we received a free barbecue set for buying ten gallons of gas or something halfpast teen we hadnt seen it since but un earthed it while i was looking for my waders a few weeks back its about 18 inches high and ten in diameter so we dont go in for roasting oxen but have tried about everything else you should see the little fam ily gathered for the evening ceremony we dont fool around with those barbecue starters that you squirt on the charcoal father just throws some gaso line on it then he heaves a match toward it and every body hits the deck not one of the family has been blown up yet our charcoal burns with a clear pure flame and it gives the food a certain exotic flavor what we like about it is that it saves us from having a big pile of dishes to do one of these days if i put too much gas on it its going to save us the trouble of eating too how ever the saving on dishes is dissipated during our other noc turnal dalliance which is watching television we finally bought a set last fall probably the third last fam ily in canada to own one but normally were all too busy to watch the thing now we watch everything most people are sore because theres nothing on in the summer except reruns but it doesnt bother us we didnt see any of them the first time they appeared there are only two draw backs to this watching the box makes us all hungry by the time the late movie is over every dish in the house is in the tv room and dirty the second disadvantage is that my wife falls asleep in the middle of a dandy western and knocks off about two hours in her chair before we turn off the set then she lurches off to bed and cant sleep a wink happy family holiday holidays spent happily unify the family new experiences are exhiliarating and travel is one door to education a good jour ney is one which every member of the family recalls with pleas ure why not plan a trip for this summers holiday a train trip is a delight to a child and a plane flight is a nevertobeforgotten experience but most families with almost seventy per cent of canadian families owning a passenger car use it for vacation travel according to canada 1962 of every dollar canadians spend 16c goes for motor vehicles of which 94c is spent on a new car purchase write at once to the tourist information bureau in the areas you hope to visit be sure to include time spent in some of our beautiful national or provincial parks children love maps and they will appreciate having a part in vacation pre parations give one child the job of keeping track of the mileage each day another might write down money spent on gas and oil if children wish to pur chase picture post cards when the car stops these help keep them amused later on they may want to make a scrap book of their travels participation is the basis of enthusiastic co oper ation parents travelling with little folk have found it very worth while to write ahead and make overnight reservations at recom mended hotels resorts or cabins if this is not possible observe the rule of stopping well before darkness falls to find suitable accommodation there is noth ing more upsetting than an un successful search for a place to sleep with cross overtired childrein constantly wailing when are we going to get there fatigue quickly produces ir ritability in both adults and children arrange a rest period after the noon meal for all the family every day if baby is small he can sleep in his bas ket or the seat of the car can be used as a bed with safe guards to prevent him falling a rug and pillow spread under a shady tree encourages relax ation it is worthwhile to turn off the main highway and travel down a quiet country road in search of solitude it is grand for mother not to have to prepare meals and wash dishes in order to cut on costs the family may want to eat out only one of the three meals if at all posible have the dinner meal at a good restaurant or hotel an early start can be made if breakfast is eaten at the place where the family has stayed overnight travelling with a small baby is easier in some ways than travelling with an active young ster who is into exerything clothes for travelling for children should be comfortable durable and washable seer sucker or jersey sun suits need no ironing and corduroy over all for cooler days are an ex cellent choice for the same reason tuck the dirty clothes directly into the laundry bag do as little washing on the trip as possible a jar of water and a wash cloth and towel to combine a roomful of dirty dishes and an exhausted owly woman and x youll understand why my morning beauty sleep is rudely shattered day after day wipe small sticky fingers is worthwhile bibs and paper handkerchiefs are good ideas too small children get tired travelling in a car and mother and dad must be willing to stop fairly often take son or daughter for a walk to strech little legs get tested drinking water in the morning and keep a supply of paper cups the drivers attention should not be distracted by anyone in the car mother will have to keep the children amused from time to time favourite songs guessing games such as i spy memory games such as i packed my trunk story telling riddles all help to pass the time on a long stretch in the car if at all possible arrange the luggage so a small child can lay down on the back seat and have a sleep when he needs a nap sunday school lesson golden text bender there fore unto caesar the things which are caesars and unto god the things that are gods matt 2221 approach to the lesson patriotism is praiseworthy provided it does not supersede ones obedience to the revealed will of god loyality to country and love for our fellow citizens must never be permitted by the christian to take precedence over basic loyalty to the lord jesus christ because the fortunes of the nation of israel were so inti mately intertwined with her spiritual condition her political prosperity always indicated good health religiously con versely political and national servitude reflected serious spi ritual decay jeremiah prophesied in judah on the eve of the babylonian exile and during those dark months he sounded out his faith ful warnings unpopular de spised opposed and at times imprisoned he valiantly carried on as a voice crying in the wilderness throughout his en tire ministry he proved the sus taining strength of jehovah his god the heart of the lesson because israels political for tunes were

how ever the lord had remonstrat ed by his servants the prophets one among these messengers was the faithful jeremiah his consistent message was that his beloved people and city were doomed and that lives could be spared only by submission to the conqueror from babylon this news was most distaste ful unpleasant tidings are never popular a number of men who claimed divine sources for their
