48 f BY LEWIS MILLIGAN _ Poets are generally supposed to live m the realm of imagination remcte ‘from the mundane affairs of everyâ€" day life, and it must be admitted that mny of our greatest poets have spent much of their time in that ethereal region Homeéer, Virgil, Dante ana Shakespeare aithough they based their ',’;ï¬amtlves upon historic characters and events, wove a magic spell around them which spiritualized material and commonplace things and clothed morâ€" tals with immortality. _ We know little or nothing of the personal life of Homer, but he evidentâ€" Ly had a wide experience of military fl.nd governmental affairs. Virgil was ï¬bhed Every 'l'hlnday by *‘ â€"M. W.

At the age or _{a _wa.s chief magistrate of Flo:â€" ene In ome civic strife he was exâ€" rom i c{ty; his property was "John. ‘McLiesh, Principal of the Gault Institute in Valleyfleld, Que., struck a note that has often been argued here in Huntingdon. We quote a paragraph in his address is .as follows: > "Let us take the schools and make of them the community centres they ought to be. Let "the lighted schoolhouse" be the powerâ€"house of democracy where the citizens irrespective of race, religion or other discrimination, can come togcther in the evenings to participate . There would seem to be considerable support .for the suggesmon that schools be used to some extent as community centres, and that new school buildings be designed with thls plan in mind. In this respect, the letter written last week by Wenâ€" del B. Brewer has started something. _ This w‘etk we have been favoured by a letter from Mr.:J. W. Spooner, voicing approval of Mr. Brewer‘s suggestion, and urging others to do the same. â€" To those interested in the matter there is the s@isfaction that the idea of schools as communfty centres is not confined to Timmins. Quoted"*below are extracts from an editorial appearilig last week in the Huntingdon Gleaner, which shows that the idea has found favour in several other centres: â€" Every business man in Timmins should be a supporter of the Timmins Board of Trade, both for reasons of selfâ€"interest and for the common good. There is much to be done and, as it was pointed oqut at the. meeting last week, it canâ€" not all be done by writing letters. Or editorials! Mr. Doran is well qualified to act as liaison ofâ€" ficer angd, has received the confidence of the business men and of the public at large. Obviousâ€" ly, he will â€"be a busy man. _ Obviously, too, he he deserves the strongest support that can be mustered. Timmins Board of Trade president is also. a member o‘f its town council. In this it is fortuâ€" nate â€"â€" thexe is a great need for both the board and the Council to understand Each‘ other in order that the fullest coâ€"operation may be achieved. If Councillor Wm. J. Doran and Wm. J. Doran, president of the Board of Trade, can work together, the possibility of successful action by both bodies is increased. sn To orgamze the Boards for this purpose and to awaken them to its importance, President Wills has played the necessary, though not always popular, role of an alarm clock. Now awakened, we must get to work. That ‘Mr. Wills was not altogether right, was proven when his fellowâ€"members displayed their wisdom by returning him to office for another term, gave him the type of executive he sought, and brought forward plans for a more active year. 240 _ * All of which goes to show, of course, that a little figliting talk pays off when there is an audience that knows how to take it. Probably Mr. Wills drafted his address with this knowledge in mind. While the Boards of Trade cannot, in .themâ€" selves, give employment to many, they can have a great deal to do in creating conditions more favourable to increased employment. â€"In doing this they have today ia greater part to play than ever before, due to the huge backâ€"log of things left undone in the past six years. The:Boards of Trade have not been active in the past few ‘years, and there are good and obvious reasons for this condition. Their activities have had to ‘be subordinated to the more urgent deâ€" mands of war. New roads, the encouragement of tourist travel and of new industries had no part in government planning. Today..the situation is changed. The accent is now placed on a speedy resumption of peaceâ€" time activity so that those who have been emâ€" ployed in production for war uses may find new empldy‘rrleylt. . Harold A. Wills of Cochrane president of the Northern Associated Boards of Trade last week accused his fellowâ€"members of a lgck of "business sense "and acumen", and asked for a stronger, more representative executive for 1946.

He little more than an Aon. for he was marâ€" 0 18 .to a Afarmer‘s self, by whom he had a family.

They learned by experâ€" lence that which they gave to the world in poetry. + It will thus be seen that each of these great poets had to wrestle with the hard realities of life. Had tney Milton, wihno was perhaps the ethereal of modern poets, did not live a cloistered life, but passed through and took an â€"active part in one of the greatest political upheavals in the hisâ€" tory of England. He engaged in the political and religious controversies o‘ his time with vigorous enthusiasm and he. served as secretary to Oliver Crcriâ€" wellunder the Commonwealth. He started to write Paradise Lost at the age of fifty, and that great work of ~creative imaginaion was inspired notonlybymliciouszw but was stimulatedâ€" and enriched by the turâ€" bulent â€" '_ er through which he ln procum or discussion and practical comâ€" munity projects in the home community." “m Huntingdon we have a fine school equipped with an auditorium and other facilities that could| !.. In this the northern centres of this province did not participate. Instead of increasing, the population dwindled. Now the tide has turned in this respect. The mines are active, with prosâ€" pects of becoming even more so. As productior of the larger centres lessens with the stoppage of war contracts, more and more people are looking elsewhere for work. It is in the national interest that these folk find employment away from the larger centres and to make this possible a larger building proâ€" gram in northern communities is imperative this spring. It is to be hoped Timmins will be in a position to take advantage of it when the time comes. Nevertheless, such a display of interest in the h.ousing problems of the northern centres of population is very welcome. The situation 0o: these.centres is far different from that of the cities and ‘towns in other sections. . While they were expanding with the war years, the governâ€" ment aided them in erecting the housing to shelter the persons engaged in such expansion. "Adult study and discussion clubs might profitâ€" ably be organized and their meetings held at the school, and if necessary such clubs could â€"be split up into groups and held in the various classrooms. Such a building could be made more use of and form the centre of the community and the meetâ€" ingâ€"place of all seeking to develop the spirit of democracy. + "With the equipment of the Domestic Science Room and the Manual Training, there is no reaâ€" son why groups of persons interested in such could not avail themselves of instruction in these arts at evening classes. There is no reason why other groups could not be formed who would be interested in musical training, instrumental and vocal, and take classes in the theory and practical end of these arts. Amateur theatricals might be practiced and plays staged from time to time for the amusement of all in the community. "Yes, there is a greater use of our school than just that to which it is put at the present time. It is a structure that will_not deteriorate very easily through use and there is no reason to beâ€" lieve that the people will purposely cause destrucâ€" tion of the building or its contents, or should they try to ‘do so then there are remedies for that. _‘"More interest by the people in these public properties will bring about a better sense of what they really mean to the public and quash the sense that they are to be used only as desigâ€" nated by the trustees or the staff. An ‘official of Wartime Housing Ltd., a federal government project, has been instructed to inâ€" quire into and report upon the housing situation in the north country. His orders came from Ottawa, he says. Just what woke Ottawa up, and what, if any, action the federal government may take, the official was not in a position to state. "We belive in discretion as to whom the use of the school should be allowed and for what purâ€" pose, and we also believe that rules and regulaâ€" tions are required in order to control the behavâ€" iour of ‘those using the school. But when it is known that the persons responsible will see that the building is properly looked after and proper supervision maintained, then the school should be opened for such projects. ‘"The trustees are the servants of the ratepayers even though they may not receive remuneration for their services. They are elected according to law and must carry out the responsibilities entailed by their election and acceptance of office. The staff of the school are paid representatives of the people, engaged to carry out the duties assigned to them as per their contract. ‘"The ratepayers are the ones who have the final say when matters are not conducted to their satisfaction. This is our ‘way of democratic life and which gives rights to all people that must be jealously guarded at all times. Why not take up the cry cf Mr. McLeish and make our schools the community centres they‘should be." with an auditorium and other facilities that could be turned to such use as Mr. McLeish outlines. Not only this, but such use of the schools . been advocated for years. We do not advocate the use of the school for purely entertainment purposes as has been suggested by some, and here again we quote from Mr. McLeish‘s address: â€"‘~â€" "Mr. McLeish expressed his conviction that less time should be devoted to pure entertainâ€" ment in order to divert youth from delinguenâ€" cy and idleness and much more to the conâ€" structive possibilities of citizenship training." "We are all proud of our school and we are proud it is such a splendid edifice, but as Mr, § s ies sn oi oo o Aaus t . 8 3 ie stt In London, Ontario, the shooting of a bread delivery man has been traced to an elevenâ€"yearâ€"o:d girl.
