fellow talking atxmt all the unemployed we were there fore quite relieved this past week to read that it wasnt quite as bad as it sounded now that we look back on it according to the best information obtainable in canada by june of this year practically every able- bodied canadian had a job fewer persons were un employed this summer than 10 years ago although the labor force is greater by a full million workers twenty years ago when the labor force was even smaller and 20 a week was a good wage only 87 out of every 100 persons had a job canadians have thus attained a level of employ ment once considered impossible day and night protection ask any young boy the familiar question what are you going to be when you grow up and nine chances out of ten hell quickly reply a fireman to a young lad theres something thrilling about a red fire truck a screeching siren and a waterspouting hose the ambitions of the average boy are never realized however not because the brigade in his town is overstaffed but because the roaring engine the siren and the spouting hose loses much of its appeal when the wideeyed youngster becomes a man the firemans job is an arduous task performed in stouff ville by volunteers who are on 24hour call to protect your home and mine nothing stands in their way neither the weather the time nor their jobs perhaps we as backseat observers do not fully appreciate the service that these men render to us how would we feel at night if there were no volunteer firemen avail able to answer an emergency call many of us would be unable to sleep for fear that the worst might happen these men are our guardians protectors of our homes our families our all the next time you see the red truck race along the main street with its rubbercoated volunteers clinging to the side remem ber some day they might be responsible for saving your home or mine fire prevention week oct 7th to 13th was marked only recently i wonder how many of our readers know the

road sides driveways and other neglected areas being inconspicuous they often go unnoticed and after a few years they are frequently taken for granted many farms have small neglected areas usually close to the farmstead where weeds develop and spread to the fields when least expected the corner of the field the stony knoll the small strip between the barn and the trees is frequently overlooked farmers cannot expect to gain the benefits of cultural or chemical methods of weed control in the fields unless a concerted effort is made to prevent the growth and seeding of weeds in the uncultivated areas surrounding the farm weeds of all classes annuals biennials and perennials may be found in these noncultivated areas but as a rule the annuals predominate this helps to simplify control because the weeds can be destroyed before they mature seed but all too frequently weeds are mowed when in seed and left on the ground to dry the seeds or even the ntire plants are blown in great numbers to adjacent cultivated fields it is incorrect to assume that if plants are mowed when in flower that all danger of seed production is past consequently early destruc tion is advisable if the production of weed seeds is to be prevented on all uncropped areas where a tractor or cultivating implements may be used clean cultiva tion with discs or plows usually gives the cheapest and most effective control property owners sometimes seem indifferent to weeds and treat them carelessly allowing seeds to develop and scatter at random a little extra thought and labor will do much to prevent the growth and spread of weeds publishers visit prince rainier s palace in monaco neglected heating plant is a fire hazard i wouldnt dan accept cm with the wife not betoe here e ton knew bow fnsay aba is about p her meals on paying compliments one or the greatest preachers of the nineteenth century was dr w r dale of birmingham england he once visited australia and while preaching there said he thought it was a good thing for people to express their affection for those they loved if you love people he declared dont be afraid to tell them so it will be good for them and for yourself an account or this sermon got back to england and at a great welcomehome meeting which the birmingham congrega tion gave dr dale on his return there was a large streamer across the hall with the words we love you and we tell you so it was a nice thing for those people to do and it would be a happier world if more people took his advice there must be millions of parched souls who thirst for love and sympathy a lot or men especially are so afraid of being demonstrative with their affections that quite unintentionally they go to the other extreme thomas carlyle was inclined to be a dour man the opposite of sentimental but after his mothers death this letter was found addressed to her by her famous son my dear good mother let it ever be a comfort to you however weak you are that you did your part honourably and well while in strength and were a noble mother to me and to us all i am now myself grown old and have had various things to do and suffer for so many years but there is nothing i ever had to be so much thankful for as the mother i had this is a truth which i know well and perhaps this day again it may be some comfort to you yes surely for if there has been good in the things i have uttered in the worlds hearing it was your voice essentially that was speaking through me essentially what you and my brave father meant and taught me to mean this was the purpose of all i spoke and wrote and if in these few years that may remain to me i am to get any more written for the world the essence of it so far as it is worthy and good will still be yours may god reward you my dearest mother for all you have done for me i never can it is said that when james garfield was installed as presi dent of the united states he insisted that his aged mother should be present at the ceremony when it was complete in the presence of them all he turned and kissed her withered cheek if any man is tempted to set lightly by his father or his mother because his name has been set on high let him remem ber james garfield and thomas carlyle sir james barrie was a busy man and inclined to be some what brusque yet his tenderness to his mother was apparent to all who knew him in this respect he resembled lord haldane a chancellor of the exchequer during the first world war who wrote a letter to his mother every day for fortyseven years lack or appreciation is lack of thought more than anything else we all take so much for granted the inventor morse after his discovery of the telegraph said he had received endless criticism and ridicule but he could not recall any encouragement until after his invention was completed it doesnt take much to make people happy but often the few gracious words just dont come a little praise is like oil in machinery it keeps things running smoothly i remember attendixc a church many years ago when the- sermon was followed by a beautiful solo in announcing the closing hymn the minister said it i had heard that solo earlier i could have preached a better sermon it was a gracious tribute and made a fine impression when a charming young lady visited dean hole who had a passion for horticulture he said please come out into my garden i

this time rome to nice was much better the last couple of weeks have been the occasion for the annual grape festival and the crowds that tried to board the train at every stop were unbelievable there are no baggage y on the italian trains and we had about 150 bags piled in the narrow aisle which runs down one side of each coach when we went to the diner several had to stand 1 guard or the seats would be filled when you got back many stood and even occupied the washrooms to get a scat the train was so crowded at some stops people were left standing jon the platform the policy is jto squeeze on all you can just like streetcars we boarded the train in rome at 630 am and streets were crowded even at this early hour one of the main stops was ge noa chief ocean port for italian liners and from where andrea doria left on his fateful voyage we could see several liners berthed as the train pulled out the railway tunneling is a mas ter engineering feat some of them running miles through mountains olive orchards grapes and fig trees are every where along the way towns are cleaner and buildings better as one goes north it was good to get back on our busses just inside the italian border and cross over into france the coaches are not permitted to enter france empty so we got off a little before getting to nice the french riviera is truly the florida of the continent with miles of hotels and bathing beaches this part of the coun try gave us a much better im pression than our short trip through into belgium we motored out a few miles to grasse world perfume centre and visited one of the plants it requires a half ton of flowers to make a halfpint of perfume essence and there are acres of flowers everywhere carnations in particular the first crop comes off in january
