elsewhere 5450 la thomas associate editor appreciated stouffvilles two police officers are providing a real service on open evenings particularly fridays by posting themselves at the two main intersections near the postoffice and at church st and allowing pedes trians to make their way across the heavily congested highway as corners are short and visibility poor last friday evening saw the largest crowd in town since friday night shopping was instituted some weeks ago and throngs milled the streets to add to the conges tion shopping traffic was mixed with tourist traffic heading north and the officers on the corners added greatly to keeping traffic moving through town whatll we do now no one can deny that our town park wellequipped as it is is a wonderful asset to the community but more and more we see the need for such parks in this day and age when the young set seems less and less able to amuse themselves perhaps its the fault of the children and perhaps its the fault of the parents who feel that is is necessary to go to great lengths to keep johnny amused not too many years back it seemed that children could find their own recreation now school is scarcely out when they are asking folks at home whatll we do now a few years ago they banded together built forts played cops and robbers or repaired to the old swimming hole of which there were several in nearby streams somehow they seemed to get through the summer without the aid of all the recreational setup which seem so necessary today but times have changed people are afraid to let them go to old swimming holes for fear theyre not clean or that there may be one of the much- publicized water tragedies gangs are looked on with disfavour many parents have become very protective they are afraid to let their children do much in the way of adventuring for fear of tragedy perhaps this is the reason the children have lost much of the spirit of adventure while we do not decry the fine efforts put forward by local citizens and service clubs for what they are doing and have done to provide recreational facilities the fact that all these things have become so large and important causes one to ponder no hustle people in the big city have been wont to picture life in the small town as a peaceful somnolent existence with no hustle and bustle no excitement nowhere to go and nothing to do but stay home and tend the gar den or mow the lawn most of them seem to figure that small town life has none of the attributes of city living which causes jangled nerves frayed tempers and nervous disorders everythings relative and perhaps theyre right perhaps the average small town dweller doesnt shout quite so loud at his wife or belabor his children quite so often as his city cousin who must face the roaring traffics boom twice a day five times a week perhaps the pressure of town life isnt quite as great as that of the big metropolis things are changing however during the next few days it may be that small town life will be just as hectic as the city variety give and take a few ulcers right now there are a few people of our acquaint ance who never seem to be able to spend an evening at home what with lodge church work golf and ser vice clubs they never seem to make it more and more people are getting into the position where supper is just a momentary pause in a round which goes from early morning to late at night life everywhere is going at a faster clip than it was 25 years ago small towns are apt to be some what behind the times in this matter as they may be in some others but theyre catching up fast wing- ham advancetimes summer safely for children over six hundred thousand ontario schoolchildren will receive an attractive colored car game quiz just before they start their summer vacation this year the game has been designed as a summer safety re minder for children in elementary grades by the department of education a total of 3500 schools have ordered 620000 copies and requests are still being received the game takes the form of a streamlined modern automobile it contains a safety quiz for younger children based on safety rules as taught in the major ity of ontario schools the back of the game carries the answers in the form of safety rules themed to the words look wait cross play walk ride stay away this is the tenth successive year in which the departments of highways and education have dis tributed traffic safety reminders to ontario school children before the summer holidays hon dr w j dtinlop minister of education suggested in his introductory letter to elementary school principals that children be encouraged to park the car game in plain sight at the most used doorway of the home to remind them to be careful when they go outdoors highways minister hon las n allan in making the safety folder available said part of our respon sibility for our children is to help them learn where to play afely and how to cope with traffic when they meet it crossing streets walking on roadsides or riding their bicycles to be effective safety education must be con tinuous to parents during the holidays falls the duty of carrying on school safety teaching i hope sincerely the safety materia the children are to take borof w i help all parents to keep their children safe smtfast01 isnt this an- awful day t said he replied should it bother us after all we live in our minds i dont know if he had read that sentence in a book or thought it up himself but i have said it to myself hundreds of times where we have our homes how much we possess and a score of other things we think important are all secondary factors we live in our minds that is a major truth this explains at least some of the mysteries of life it accounts for the fact tht some who are fabulously wealthy are unhappy and dissatisfied and others poor as church mice or chronic invalids are supremely content helen keller once wrote a book with this title the world i live in think of it a woman blind and deaf with only three senses instead of five she had to build her world by sensations of touch helped by taste and smell yet with these terrific limitations she has become keenly alive to the beauty of nature and in the main has been a very happy woman by her books she has brought encouragement and inspiration to millions think of it deaf and dumb but happy one of the most dramatic scenes in the new testament is the account of pauls trial before king agrippa act 26 here was a king reigning in oriental splendour with much that we think makes for happiness while before him stood paul chained accused in poor health and threatened with execution we know now that paul felt sorry for agrippa in a moving speech he said he wished the king was in his place except these bonds think cf it a prisoner sorry for his judge a man despised and hated by many yet possessed of such inward happiness that he yearned to see the proud king share the same deep peace in the seventeenth century one of the true saints of france was the poet and mystic madam guyon like the english john bunyon she spent much of her life in a filthy dungeon where surroundings might easily have crushed her spirit but they did not from behind prison walls she continued to send out poetry which reflected the radiance of her sweet spirit here are two stanzas my cage confines me round abroad i cannot fly but though my wing is closely bound my hearts at liberty these prison walls cannot control the flight the freedom of my soul oh it is good to soar these bolts and bars above to thee whose purposes i adore whose providence i love and in thy mighty will to find the joy the freedom of the wind our quotation today is by geoffrey chaucer to me o kingdom is my mind councils need early notice woodstocks city council has adopted a resolution which municipalities throughout the province will no doubt endorse pointing out that it is necessary for the provincial government to amend statutes from time to time and that municipalitiese are affected financially and other wise by changes involving their powers and authority woodstocks council declares therefore be it resolved that the provincial government be respectfully requested that advance information so far as practicable be submitted to the municipalities when legislation is being proposed which directly affects municipalities it is a sensible request where it is practicable changes in the system of grants obviously affect muni cipal budgets amendments to legislation may increase or decrease a municipalitys responsibilities it is important that municipalities should be informed of x such changes as soon as possible it may not always be feasible for the government to give advance information but in such cases it would be of substantial assistance to municipal administration if the government were to enact legislation affecting municipalities at the earliest opportunity to permit them to take

in the thought that her sons will rest the better in the shade of the trees they knew so well in life some of the early popularity of the maple may have arisen from its gift of syrup and sugar which the indians in eastern canada made for themselves and used in barter with the first set tlers they in turn learned how to produce this first crop of the season this supplemented their meager supply of high- priced imported sugar made from the cane plantations in the south this maple leaf symbol is woven into our early history in the quebec gazette in 1805 it was referred to as the emblem of the french canadians in 1834 it was adopted as the device of the st jean baptiste society two years later on june 24th denis b viger in a speech be fore this organization in french in montreal the maple

marches by unwav ering copyright always remember evacuation its effect on the rural dweller 17th in a series of 24 articles if nuclear warfare ever comes to canada the most permanent effects of evacuation of the large cities likely to be bombed will be felt by the smaller cities towns and villages and even the farm ers for the city resident can save himself from the destruction of a hydrogen bomb only by fleeing to the country if his city were wiped out and made uninhabit able by the blast he would have to remain in the smaller centre he could not go home again he would have no home to go to under canadas civil defence plan it is the responsibility of the rural dwellers to be prepared to cope with the problems evac uation of the cities would bring them and these problems are many and varied the immediate demand the evacuees would make on the country folk would be for shelter not only from the elements and the weather but also from the threat of the blasts aftermath radioactive fallout the fallout of pulverized cities from one h bomb could contaminate areas more than 100 miles long and 20 miles wide with radioactive dust that might remain dangerous for from 18 hours up any such crowd with trained civil defence volunteers how ever it would have a better ctfance of doing so besides the necessity of peo ple who live in the country and the small towns and cities to help their less fortunate city dwellers in the event that nuc lear war requires mass evacua tion there is the possibility that rural dwellers themselves may have to evacuate under certain circumstances the rural residents must be pre pared to move to safer territory themselves the chief cause of this would be fallout if the weather conditions were such that heavy concentration of this dangerous and quite pos sibly deadly dust were likely to sift down on a town or village after a city had been blasted by an hbomb then the inhabitants would have to seek shelter else where how would such people know where to go or when the dan ger was such thai they must go that is another of the many reasons why canada seeks to organize civil defence in every community for it is the pur pose of civil
