our own personal interests could we hope to achieve the purpose fr which we were nut on this earth the lions club like all other service clubs arc emblematic of this fact likewise those ratepayers who mark their ballot no on june k5th with only their own petty interests in mind are not fulfilling lifes greatest aim to work together for the common go id it may be true that personally you dont require a sewerage system for your property the fact still remains that the community as a wholp does require such a system and the good of the community is much more important than the few dollars such a system is going to cost you as a taxpayer dont be a drag on your communitys progress get behind and shove by voting in favour of this project next monday safety rules kor summer collages during recent weekends many residents of the district have visited their summer cottages for safety and happier holidays at the summer cottage the safety officers of the ontario department of lands and forests offer these tips they are in addition to their seasonal warning o be careful at all limes with fire in the woods especially during the forest lire season which lasts until october 11 1 remove any dead trees or broken limbs from the cottage silo they may fall during high winds 2 make certain that the stove pipes and chimney are clean and sound better still install a spark arres- tor on the chimney 3 check the dock for broken planks i check water craft for weak points that may fail in rough water 5 have a safe gasoline can and avoid spilling this highly inflammable fuel in the boat where a spark may ignite it when youre a long way from shore 6 know the safe carrying capacity of your boat or canoe and dont overload keep plenty of freeboard for while it may be calm when you leave shore large waves from a storm or other boats may wash over and swamp your craft 7 dont stand up in a small boat or canoe s carry sullkient life preservers for all aboard 0 dont travel a night without lights 10 dont leave the boat if it upsets hang on until you drift to shore or until help comes glimpses of a blue sky a fishermans para- ooner does one get art to bite the the mosquito as a iesf the mosquito as pernicious pest has few equals one finds the perfect fishing spot the water swirls and fumbles over the rocks with here and there a deep pool where big one- lurk the banks of the stream are lined with trees that throw a delightful canopy of shade through whirls one get and golden shafts of sunlight disc rut no for long for no ready to reel em in when they mosquitos not the fish and how they bite it seems that the better the spot the harder they bite and of course one is in no mood to deal with biting mosquitos when ones mind is wholly on biting fish rut perhaps you don like to fish and would much rather sit on one of those delightful folding aluminum chesterfields that modern industry has designed for the comfort of modern man the mosquitos give one just time enough to reflect on the great peaceful sweep and calm when zoom the first squadron moves in and the grace of the moment is lost and gone it has been long recognized that mosquitos are the arch enemies of restful repose how a buzzing mosquito hardly larger than a fullgrown mite can manage to sound like three jets in a power dive is still a mystery most people have seamed to their annoy ance that one mosquito loose in the bedroom is more to be feared titan a handful of nightmares and certainly as elusive of course there are palliatives and remedies creams oils and sprays no to mention nets are avail able to the harrassed but all of these leave the victim as badly off as if he were to face the pest unarmed for the whole caboodle is so messy so inconvenient that one rightly regards the cure as being about as bad as the evil no doubt a fortune awaits the man or woman who rsn dei ore satisfactory way of putting an end 11 man and mosquito which d he true appreciation we could work t thf otherwise glorious early months of summer fort perry star klmer educates with the good record as an example that klmer the safety elephant has established in such centres as stouffvilie a report to the first national highway safety conference recommends the adoption of this symbol as part of a safety program in urban schools throughout the country in this town klmer sponsored by the lions club and the telegram was introduced in 1954 since then the pennant has become a prized trophy for children to win for their school to win it a school must have an accidenttree record for at least 30 days coupled with lectures by members of the safety council rimer has helped to inculcate rules of safety and to develop an esprit de corps in children for it spurs them to do their utmost to win and to keep the pennant in 1016 prior to the introduction of klmer in toronto there were 16 fatalities and 138 injured among children from five to 14 years of age at that time motor vehicle registration amounted to 1 16631 with klmer the following year fatalities were reduced to 11 though the number of injured was 168 motor ve hicle registration however had increased considerably last year with 234625 vehicles half as many again as there were in 1916 there were 12 fatalities and 661 injured of whom only 211 children were at fault education is essential in reducing traffic accidents and klmer has proved to be a helpful part of it a comedians prayer a rrw weeks co on a radio program a wellknown eomed- ian brought his performance to a close with a short speech which was unusua but i thout it zood taste he said i hope you i have enioyed this effort of mine i try to do my best and bring torre happiness into the lives of those who watch this show if i can do this 1 shall feel that i am serving god in a humble way hr saio rr very humbly but sincerely and i found it very impressive all the ropre so because it was so unexpected but why should it cause surprise the good lord has given us a sense of humour i hope when it is clean wholesome and especially if it stives peope a lift i think that the performer is entitled to feel he has earned gods approval it is wi knowx that martin iuther usually cheerful did i occasionally fail into moods of depression and on one such occa- sion his wife rebuked him by asking martin is god dead he graciously accepted the rebuke for he knew that a merry heart doeth good like a medicine for merriment as georfie morrison said is not a shallow or superficial thing it has its roots down in the soul it runs down to selfforgetfulness the words humour and human have the same root and i find it hard to believe that anyone with a sense of humour could be cruel 1 am not thinking of smart wit which can be sarcastic but of the kind of good natured humour which bubbles over in novels of charles dickens and in works of many other writers thfrf is as old stonv which comes down to us from the middle asos about a group of men who were relating what they had been able to do for god by their various gifts one was an acrobat who at first was depressed until he was made to feel that he might honour god by performing an acrobatic feat and i that knowledge made him very happy i remember when i was a little lad living in the north of england we had a minister whose sense of kindly humour was j irrepressible he could not keep it out of his sermons and it endeared him greatly to the people of our town when he spoke i at sunday school which he frequently did the youngsters loved it i believe men of his type are a constant recommendation for religion oliver wendail holmes had an idea when he was young that he would like to become clergyman but he said so many i ministers he knew looked like undertakers that he decided j against it that is rather hard on undertakers who as a class i are very human also a little on ministers who are invariably cheerful as i get older t fel we are very narrow when talking about serving god we restrict it to singing hymns prayers sermons and such exercises all good in their way but we must make the field of service much wider must take in a lot more territory there is a striking passage in isaiah 282426 in which the writer speaks of god inspiring the plowman in his lowly task doth the plowman plow all day to sow doth he open and break the clods of the ground for his god doth instruct him to discretion and doth teach him god then in spires the plowman not only when he is in the synagogue in exalted worship but also when he is laboring in the field turning over the brown sods in commenting on this verse the late w l watkinson said we accept the inspiration of the philosopher that copernicus by a kind of supernatural flash perceived the celestial order and that newton by a similar intuition discerned the master law in the falling apple most are willing to allow we believe too in the inspiration of the poet but it is an altogether different matter to recognize the inspiration of the plowman we all need to be reminded of that line by robert browning all ser vice ranks the same with god our quotation todv is by w l watkinson too many of us rfrnir artificial

are indications that a major policy change may be in the offing it seem quite clear that ottawa has lost much of its enthusiasm for the tax rental agreement system the provinces that have shown an eagerness to secure new con cessions have been warnad that the federal government is not prepared to boost the total rent significantly a the price of keeping all or any of the provinces signed on the dotted line rumour has it that ottawa is worried over the heavy annual outlay committed in tax rental payments and will give the most careful study to any op portune excuses for discarding the whole
