week we have been influenced by the popular belief that the two countries recklessly chose a course without regard for law and order a course that did not fit traditional respect of Britons for laws What the critics forgot is that there is not yet law and order in the world despite the United Nations UN action is by agreement of the moment there was no law and there was nothing Un enforce a world law if there had been one Now there a faint possibility that there will be world riven by the UN The more popular viewpoint has been based on sur face evidence on the fact that Britain rushed in to pro tect her interests And it is not difficult to understand why Asians in particular look upon it as an action by colonial minded powers There is too much evidence from the past to suggest that motives were nut genu ine As a result the justified motives of Britain and France that of enforcing order to maintain the Suez- canal were overlooked On the subject of motives we suggest that the foreign policy before and during the war in the Middle was motivated by a desire to protect its own oil interests there it had nothing to lose if the Sue canal were closed and everything to gain by maintaining friendly relations with the Arabs It was convenient for the US to avoid responsibility and urge others to take no action Britain and ra nee have taken im measurable risks but we fail to see why they were risks As a result of the risks they took it appears that they are the victims of world opinion because they chose not to shim reality Time will tell whether or not history will brand them criminals Because of Britain and it is our greatest hope now that the circumstances of the near future will bring about the establishment of a world law which will be enforced by a permanent army If such is the rase the sacrifice of Britain and France will he the chief reason for it GOOD CLEAN FUN HAS been described from tunc to time as a peaceful town with little crime We dis agree The term pranks is too often used to brush off criminal activities which have been taking place over a long period of time The prank last week which could have canned ami destruction on the Hue at the north end of town was a serious crim inal action It climaxed a long series of activities which included damaging streets signs frightening women at nights along dark streets insults against school teachers and general rowdy behavior on streets and in other public places especially the theatre We suspect that some of these activities can be blamed on students but we are inclined to believe that many of them are undertaken by young persons who have loft school ami who have loo much time unoccupied by healthy recreational activity Some of them are children of prominent local citizens We are inclined to think that some people shun the thought of reporting to the police on incidents which they witness While it may be distasteful to report young people to the police because their parents are ones own friends civic duty think should discount reasons for a citizen not taking the proper action How long must school teachers take insults treat ment which is at least mentally injurious to themselves and their families Recently a baud of young men drove back and forth past a teachers residence shouting in suits and pelting his home with rotten eggs During another incident someone set fire to a lamp standard outside a teachers residence it is unfortunate that a teacher must be so careful of public opinion and must account lor his actions to a board of education the mem bers of which might be more inclined to protect a teen- awe offender than a teacher The offender might he i son of one of the members Who knows ODD KNIGHTLY PRACTICE SURVIVES IS A word that seems doomed to pass from the language It refers to the tiualifica- lions of a knight courage nobility fairness and cour tesy Its tack of use is 1 1 connected with the shrinking numbers of its practitioners Some remnants survive in the rules of the road and the lifting of the hat Two knights meeting would pass on the right of each other to keep their lance points on the harmless side As an expression of courtesy a identification they would raise their helmet visors and since it removed part of their protection it was also a gesture of friend ship The knights are gone from the road ami in their place rile the citizens of today surrounded by more metal than any knights could have carried ami arm ored effectively against the outside world by complac ency ignorance and carelessness Whatever knightly practice survives does so through the- Highway Traffic Act courtesy enforced by law ami consideration granted through fear of the OP Only in the professionals of the road do we find the knightly virtues in any large degree Wo had an example of this recently while travelling north on a Coach Lines bus Between iSradford and a car was stopped with smoke pouring nut of it Prompt action on the part of Ihe bus driver soon extinguished the blaze Other motorists had passed this car and had probably dismissed the trouble as an over- heated radiator only the bus driver stopped to see if the motorist was in trouble That professional drivers have fewer accidents than the average driver is common knowledge That this is not just the result til long experience is not so generally appreciated It is the direct result of are Courtesy and Common Sense Highway safety is not promote by something that is loo common on our roads today a grudging for the lights of others and a complacent disregard for oilier drivers problems OUR SIDE OF THE STORY by HARVEY NATIONALISM SPLITTING THE COMMUNIST EMPIRE Office Cat Reports Catnips By Ginger Slim and I like reading over the weekly news papers which come into the of fice every week sure a relief from the news to rend them weeklies said Slim the other day he lit up an El his favorite cigar and opened a copy of the Fergus News- Record Ours is the exception guess The confusion in our local politics and that of the international issues is about same said There is a article here in thats really Rood In fact there arc some parts here worth hi Its about the Calgary Now there was a paper what was really a paper said Slim I disagree The Calgary was just an early movement toward these racy tabloids like Flush and Mush and so on Its a good thing it came to an end I said Ho The was different it had character It was not full of sex crimes and what not like these modern tabloids It was just honest fearless and straightforward unbearable for some peopte I suppose Listen to these here items wish the boss would use stuff like this in the paper Would really spice it up a bit William Cursed of the Corners Clarion Blast could take a few tips from it too Slim read off Hie following quotes from the Calgary the had published From the Social Notes Miss Jones left town sudden ly on Flyer last for Canada where she will visit relatives for several months The young man re sponsible for this trip should be ashamed of himself Miss Maude Veer of was a visitor in Calgary Wednesday night anil was run out of town on Satur day It is a pity Miss Veer is not a

beries at Last Sunday we had the privilege of listening to a fine Christian sermon by Reverend Mr Clark in the Calgary Pres byterian church the text being and a little child shall lead them Mr Clark made a strong plea for the children and idealized the infant without once introducing the proverb and the child is father to the man which in itself was a great feat Had the preacher cared to drop from the heights for a moment he might have explained to us why a child howls when it is empty and a man howls when he is full Slim chortled over these item puffing on his El But why didnt the editor get sued asked Oh they didnt sua in day at least nobody thought of it That their editor report ed straight from the shoulder said Slim Who was he a iked Lets see The NewsRecord say here that he was Robert Chambers Rob Edwards and he died at the age of in 1922 Slim said He became a member of the Alberta Legis lature before he died We hate to rob more from other papers but this prayer which the EyeOpener editor wrote for the top of his column is too good to be overlooked Lord let me keep a straight path in the presence of solemn asses let not truckle to lh high and the low let me frolic with the Jack and Joker and win the game lead me unto truth and beauty and tell her name keep me fap hut not too sane let me con demn no man because of his grammar and no woman be cause of her morals
