lived in a very orderly world Our geography and history books had been and could be handed on from one student to the next in line You could learn with confidence the boundaries of country and know that the next time you looked at a map they would remain solid and so give one a pleasing sense of perform ance The rulers of the various coun tries the kings and queens the emperors and sultans stayed put or their heirs ruled after them Of course the French Revolution upset France and the Civil war upset the States but the bound aries changed so little and with the exception of France which was always having a revolution or changing from republic to em pire and back again t status quo was pretty well kept We became quite familiar with all the royal families and kept a critical but sympathetic eye on all their romances marriages and deaths When I look back now with a nostalgic feeling for the things of yesteryear it is just for the permanence I spoke of earlier That feeling is today entirely ab sent from our civilization We have atom bombs and hyd rogen bombs lo right and to left of us we have submarines in the depths of the sea and aeroplanes above us Nations strain at the leash civilization imposes while ready like savage dogs waiting to be released on their quarry I read of a young Hungarian woman who said her whole life consisted of before the war the war and after the war She had no quiet peaceful time to develop normally the atmosphere was al ways hectic And I think this at mosphere of something impend ing the feeling that something may happen to upset the world has made the children of today more nervous more determined to find entertainment than we of an older generation who had a more stable background and less catering to I have never been one who sighed over the good old days but they were good in many ways Our religion was simpler We had to have initiative to make do with what we had and I think having less entertainment we got more pleasure out of what wo had But see no reason why I should yearn to go back to filling and polishing oil lamps or why I should roast myself as well as my food over a wood or coal stove on a broiling July day My legs make no protest when I do not have to travel up and down cellar stairs a dozen times a day but instead open a refrigera tor door and find what is needed and I feel no wild desire to labor at pumping water when I can turn a tap But what do feci wc have lost is the ability to really think turn on the radio or TV or read the newspapers and from each and every voices clamor at The Newmarket Public Library Round us We may have thought we had reached a definite conclusion on some controversial subject Then come voices to the right of us voices to the left of us voices in front of us volley and thunder and we begin to wonder They pelt us not with shot and shell but with words In the old days we could sit down quietly and think things out Now I sometimes think that thinking is a lost art And some programs and books and maga zines in no way alter that wonder I think it would be a wonderful thing if each one of us could take a little while each day to sit down quietly and really think Think about world affairs and our reaction to them as Christian people Think about ourselves and see if we are making the most of what we have in the way of tal ents And if we are Christians be lieving that there is a life beyond this one asking ourselves just how we are fitting ourselves to embark on that life which of course we must all do sooner or later It isnt easy to sit down and just think As distractions increase it is increasingly hard to concen trate but I think its worth try ing We might if we were really in earnest emerge with entirely new personalities for 1 do not know many people who if they became really intimate with themselves would be satisfied Do you Although cancers have been produced on the backs of experi mental animals by the continued application of tobacco tars there is no conclusive proof that cig arette smoking causes cancer of trie lung Browsing around the library the other evening we began spec ulating about how many people might be overlooking the useful ness of the library to them Not everybody is inclined by nature to seek relaxation in reading a novel or to fill their leisure hours absorbed in books of biography exploration or philosophy Some find their satisfaction in their own hobbies as varied as boat building and stampcollecting music and politics nature study and card playing We wonder how many of these folks might be unaware that the library stocked books as varied as The Complete Boating Handbood Scotts Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue a Dictionary of Music and a Dictionary of Sports The Trees of Canada and Book of Games and politicians please note Familiar Quotations and The Public Ac counts of Canada Turning to the new books in the library we note several inter esting additions For those inter ested in music two books in par ticular may be worth looking into What to Listen for in Music by Aaron Copland is available in a new revised edi tion and the fact that this book has gone through twenty print ings and been translated ino Ger man Italian Spanish Swedish Hebrew and Persian seems to be a warranty of its usefulness High Fidelity by Charles Fowler seems a timely selection in view of the wide interest in this subject at the present time This book by an acknowledged expert sets out to explain in lay mans language as many of the facts concerning sound reproduc tion as are pertinent to ones listening pleasure Of an entirely different nature though perhaps neither more nor less important is Gathering Drinker Bowens new book The Lion and the Throne This book has been accepted by critics as one of the important books of the year It presents a brilliant picture of some of the great figures of the Elizabethan period and is an absorbing account of the life and career of Edward Coke who was AttorneyGeneral to Elizabeth and Chief Justice under James The account of some of his domestic disputes suggests that the Father of the Common Law may not have met all his great opponents in the courts of justice Another new book which caught our interest was Sis- sons My Dearest Sophie Ryersohs Letters to his Daughter Of the many inter esting items in this volume the one which intrigued us some what in view of current events was happy account of the receipt of a gift of twelve bottles of excellent Spanish Port from Bishop Lynch of Toronto New fiction just received in the includes by Gladys Lewis The Scapegoat by Daphne Maur- ier The Chronicle by John The King of Paris by Guy and Stop- Over Tokyo by John P Mar- quand It is pleasant to report that while this writer seems to have become all wrapped up in adult books the youngsters have not been overlooked A number new books have arrived for both the very young and not quite so young readers Approximately 200 new cases of cancer appear each year in every population This means that during Canada with a population of approximately persons will develop cancer Some of these will be cured by radiation and surgery Many more could be cured if they detected cancer symptoms early and reported for treatment immediately SPRING SALE ALL SHOES MORRISON BELOW POST OFFICE IN STOCK NEWMARKET with every loaf of at your food store
