jis tooas assoc editor notes and comments watch those fires it would appear that spring has definitely arrived as we are having our annual rash of grass fires some grass fires of course are accidental others are set deliberately and seem to provide fun and game for the whole family until the wind changes or things get out of control and then the lire brigade has to be called to pui them out either kind can be dangerous directlv through the damage they may cause and indirectly bv the fact that while the fire department is fighting a grass fire their services might be needed elsewhere on more serious business even without considering the danger involved or the damage done grass fires cost the taxpayers money the simplest way to avoid trouble with grass fires is to resist the impulse in the first place failing this be sure that sufficient protection in the form of water pails and rakes and shovels are at hand as they may be sufficient to get the fire out before the fire reels arrive time for some road equipment it is time stouffville municipal council gave some consideration to the purchase of a small grader or some type of road equipment which could be put into service on short notice as well as be constantly on hand to keep the streets in reasonable condition while it can be said that not in many years have all roads in the province been as bad as right now never have our local streets been so bad and it may be a difficult thing to be able to rent equipment from neighboring townships who will be hard pressed to put their own roads in passable condition when the municipality was smaller such a system worked to an economic advantage but now with more streets to keep up and more travel to knock them to pieces the town should acquire some road equipment of its own to be ready when needed a goodsize tractor with blade would do a great deal of light grading which l is so frequently needed the tractor could also be equipped with bucket for snow removal and rotary brush for street sweeping certainly many manhours of labour could be saved in this latter connection fr tv fr be a booster no matter where you are or what you are doing a boost for your

been a growing tend ency on the part of some canadians to criticize the entry into canada of what have been labelled somewhat- cruelly displaced persons it has reached the stage now where any person whose control of the english language isnt faultless is immediately branded a dp and often treated as an outcast let us look at the record the immigrants are from all strata of society among these are many who are professional men and women many were once successful in their own coun tries but because of conditions imposed by a power- hungry minority they were compelled to abandon their homes they have come to canada believing this to be a land of equal opportunity they have come willing to devote their best talents toward the development of their adopted land we ere in any event inherently hospitable be cause all canadians except the indians and eskimos are descendants of immigrants we should be tolerant of those newcomers immigrants to canada do not all come from non- english countries they come here from england ire land scotland and wales they come seeking a chance which economically was denied them in homelands so came our ancestors some only a generation ago as immigrants or descendants of immigrants we should be prepared to ofter the latest immigrants the welcome theyldeserve we need them their skills their cultures as much as they need understanding and tolerance iwhile they adjust themselves to new ways oshawa times job for the miracle man fijneles- a painter preaches ot or iki most famous paintings in the world is the light of the world painted by the english artist holman hunt and now hangs in st pauls cathedral london in that picture- we see jesus standing at a door and waiting patiently to be admitted the look on his face is one of infinite gentleness and patience and thousands of people have been deeply moved by hunts masterpiece the doo looks oldfashioned snd is covered with ivy as though not much in use he bears in his hands the lamp of truth he stands and knocks the suggestion of the artist is that he has been kiccking many times but without receiving any response his eyes tell of love his face beams with yearning a unci cibl accompanied by her mother once saw the picture as she took in the scene her sympathy was aroused and she said to her mother why doesnt he open the door and go in v because her mother answered the latch is on the inside and he cant go in unless those in the house open the door that little thing was one of the marks of a great painting it is said that one of the bible verses which was in the mind of holman hunt when he painted the picture was behold i stand at the door and knock if any man hear my voice and open the door i will come in to him and will sup with him and he with me revelation 320 but that door can only be opened from the inside there is no other way to get in it is one or the strange things about life that no one can be compelled to do the right thing they must decide for themselves they only can open the latch we often wonder why god does not compel men and women to be good if we stop and think for a moment we see that if people were compelled to do right there could be no virtue in it human beings would be no better than machines we all have freedom of choice we have the power to make our own decisions there is always the possibility that they might be wrong but there is no reason why that should be we have the power to open the door to the highest and the best this is surely one of the mysteries of life that men can accept or reject the overtures of gods grace think how true this was of the earthly life of jesus ye will not come to me that ye might have life how often would i have gathered thy children together as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings and ye would not behold i stand at the door and knock if any man hear my voice and open the door i will come in to him and sup with him and he with me there is no such thing as moral compulsion even jesus must stand at the hearts door and knock and wait until that door is opened from within there was a sense in which these people had already come to jesus they came to him in such numbers that he could scarcely find time to eat they crowded him and crowded around yet these approaches were physical and what he wanted was a surrender of heart and life on one occasion when in the midst of a crowd he surprised his disciples by asking who touched me they replied with astonishment thou seest the multitude thronging thee and sayst thou who touched me but jesus looked around to see who had deme that thing for he knew there had been an approach which was not merely physical reproductions or hunts painting have been printed by the thousand one might almost say by the million centuries ago a great

delinquency has a terrifying sound in parents cars when a child gets into serious trouble with the law his folks are usually alarmed and quite rightly so but mo thers and fathers can often learn a good deal from under standing judges social workers and psychiatrists wise hand ling of a first offender in the great majority of cases re sults in the youngster steering clear of delinquency in the fu ture not long ago judge loren stewart in one of our largest citys juvenile courts made a significant comment a ten year old lad was up in court and pleaded guilty on the cha rge of breaking into a gas sta tion the previous night he had been caught and his father said angrily the kids always getting into trouble the judge asked delay off a this youthful offender through the courts clinic from long experience judge stewart pointed out until we find out why a child did some thing we cant be sure he wont do it again why is a query often on the lips of children but par ents lead such busy

his father any situation can be a learn ing one together parents and child should find why he has refused to conform to the rules of the family the sohool or the laws of the community then there is genuine hope that he will not make the same blunder twice it is amusing to see adults with no children of their own who expect perfection from youngsters honest parents who see in thheir own lives a
