our editorial comment watch our for canadians uncle sam canadianamerican relations are at the lowest point today that they have been for generations the recent episode in a toronto theatre almost caused internation re percussions it seems that a canadian audience cheered when newsreel scenes of the dismal failure of the us navys first vanguard were shown the canucks ridiculed the us satellite with derisive laughter somebody reported the incident and half a dozen congressmen got a letter one letter went so far as to suggest the next atomic bomb testing grounds should be in southern on tario another letter suggested the united states should take over can ada lock stock and barrel well much as we like and admire the yanks canadians wish to remain independent as long as the amer icans retain their highhanded meth ods of dealing with canada cana dians will remain a prickly lot the very thought of merging the two countries should be more frightening to the americans than the canadians north of the 49th parallel the people are a highly indigestible lot for example canadians are very conscious of the constitutional rights of provinces even more so than the individual rights of states if canada became part of the united states each of tm ten provinces would insist on being taken in a a separate state of the union with the yukon and the northwest territories adding an other two this would of course mean 20 new senators all of whom would be unruly independent difficult to con trol and almost impossible tc assimil ate add to them another two hund red in the house of representatives who would be equally flamboyant boastful gregarious and independent and you have a lot of trouble on your hands then the people who live on the atlantic provinces in canada would immediately proceed on the assump tion that they were destined to con trol the united states as they have succeeded in controlling canada the maritimes approach this question in deadly earnest they say they eat more fish which makes their brains more fertile vigorous and ingenious and theyll go out of their way to prove it the yanks would find the east erners talking day and night about being sold out for the prosperity of upper canada and the westerners talking incessantly of wheat yes the attempted absorption of canada into the united states would definitely play hob with the even tenor of affairs across the border it would be upsetting and finally humiliating because the resourceful ness of the canadians would have them owning and running the great neighbor to the south in a few short years besides canada has grown up as a nation finally and canadians are able to laugh at themselves as well as others apparently the americans have lost the ability to take a jbke they have become so great in their own eyes they must be laughed with at all times never laughed at elmira signet indians liked it too r the time of year ig again with bs when many residents of the rural areas are in the sugar bush collecting tfw annual haul of maple sap and nuking syrup candy and sugar while it may not have been welcome to this section the blizzard of a few weeks ago did have some good effects those who have know ledge of this business point out that when there have been big snows as spring approaches there have been good runs of sap this years run is proving quite good though many of us may believe tfoe making of maple sugar began with our forefathers who were pion eers in this country the royal on tario museum reveals that the art was one of the few contributions to our civilization by the indian after slashing the tree slantwise with a tomahpwk a wooden chip or spout was inserted to guide the fluid into birchbark pails resting on the ground a number of such receptacles are on display in the museum in toronto varying in size and design one of the methods of- boiling down the sap was to use earthenware pots the other was to drop redhot stones into a sap trough such as those commonly used by the mohawks hollowedout basswood logs in the latter process the stones were re moved when cold and more hot ones dropped in so that the boiling down was accomplished only after a great deal of labour although poor in quality and meagre in quantity the product thus obtained was a highly valued one being the only sugar available would make unemployment insurance more unjust it was interesting to note that last week a group of workers who were presently on strike were to seek the payment of unemployment in surance benefits from the dept of labpur just how much brass can one take just why those who will not work should dip their sticky fingers into a pot provided to a large degree by thousands who are quite anxious to keep employed few will be able to explain this is just a sidelight on the injustices of unemployment insur ance while thousands and thous ands who pay unemployment insur ance have drawn on that fund justly hundreds of thousands have never had a cent from this insurance they are the workers who have steady employment and often at a lower rate than those who demand fancy wages out of all proportion to their worth we believe that to be fair after a worker has paid into the unemploy ment insurance pot for a period of say five years without drawing any benefit by reason of true unemploy ment that he or she should be given a reduced rate of assessment as it is workers most particu larly in rural sections who do enjoy steady employment year in and year out continue all their lives to sub scribe to the fund surely after a good number of years of uninterrup ted work it is proof that a man or womans job is reasonably steady and they should not have to pay the standard rate to us it is rank in justice and should any government even consider such an agreement as to pay this insurance to strikers the injustice cup would overflow final vote appeals are re sounding from poll to poll according to the new york

thinks dolores deverell not townships duty for warble fly spraying a township council is not re quired to provide a warble fly spraying service at all w p watson ontario department of agriculture livestock commis sioner stated in a press report last week he said townships do it mere ly as an accommodation to cat tle owners he had been asked to clarify the situation some township councils have been puzzled by a recent change in regulations concerning warble fly spraying in former years they sprayed all cattle to have herds examined and only in fested animals sprayed would be more expensive councillors believed two rates suggested mr watson suggested town ships set up two rates a nom inal charge for spraying a whole herd and a much higher charge for inspecting and spraying only infested animals while the warble fly con trol act is a provincial statute k does not apply in any town ship until or unless the major ity of owners in the township petition to have it apply such being the case cattle owners and not the provincial govern ment decide whether they wish to take such steps as are appro priate to control this insect if an effective job is to be done all efforts must be con-

outlined in the reg ulations and quite a number of them succeeded in eradicating this pest from their herds out of deference to their ef forts the regulations have been amended in 1958 to provide for exemption of all cattle free from warble grubs thus commencing this year only those cattle with warble grubs have to be treated ever since the act was passed farmers have had the option of treating by spray or brush me thods method not fixed councils have never been granted authority to impose a particular method on any cattle owner in a number of townships spraying equipment has been purchased and in some cases ation it is worthwhile to turn off the main highway and travel down a quiet country road in search of solitude it is grand for mother not to have to prepare meals and wash dishes in order to cut on costs the family may want to eat out only one of the three meals if at all possible have the din ner meal at a good restaurant or hotel an early start can be made if breakfast is eaten at the place where the family has stayed overnight travelling with a small baby is easier in some ways than travelling with an active young ster who is into everything the little baby stays in one places but the diaper problem is not an easy one to solve an extra supply must be taken along and mother must have the opportunity every other day to wash out the diapers and get them dry some families make a twentyfour hour stop in a city with a daily diaper laun dry service in order to avail themselves of this help clothes for travelling for children should be comfortable durable and washable seer sucker or jersey sun suits need no ironing and corduroy over alls for cooler days are an ex cellent choice for the same rea son tuck the dirty clothes di rectly into the laundry bag do as little washing on the trip as possible a jar of water and a wash cloth and towel to wipe small sticky fingers is worth while bibs and paper handker chiefs are good ideas too small children get tired trav elling in a car and mother and dad must be willing to stop fairly often take son or daugh ter for a walk to stretch little legs fill the thermos bottle with cold tested drinking water in the morning and keep a sup ply of paper cups the drivers attention should not be distracted by anyone in the car mother will have to keep the children amused from time to time repeating a nurs ery rhyme singing songs re citing short poems all can be a specialist looks back even in the remote rural districts people seriously ill find it wise to consult a specialist and frequently do so on the advice of a local doctor a famous new york physician dr loomis wrote an account of his thirtyfive years experience as a con sultant the book was entitled consultation room and revealed how a wise and extremely sympathetic doctor felt about the thousands of troubled people who during those years had sought his advice one must have patience he insisted even with people whose troubles seem imaginary he said that often when listening to a sufferer from a disease such as cancer he would be deeply moved in spite of the fact that he had been hearing similar stories over a long period just to know that the patient had suffered so much and would continue to suffer made him sympathetic after the person left his room another would come in whose ailment seemed trivial and super ficial hardly worth bothering about my first impulse dr loomis said is always to say to such a person your trouble is trifling ani petty a person has just left this room whose malady is ten times twenty times as great as yours you are just making a mountain out of a molehill the doctor goes on to say however that it is a mistake to make people feel you despise them after all their trouble is very real and you cannot help them by holding them up to ridicule even if it is only a sore toe or something less painful it clouds their whole sky the wise thing to do is to listen patiently and attentively and by tact enable them to get over it whatever you do dont snub them this is good advice when people are distressed even if it seems frivolous they want to tell their story if they have their say and talk themselves out they may realize they are making much ado about nothing but it is better to allow them to arrive at that conclusion themselves dr ambrose sheppard of glasgow one of the greatest preachers of the last century was filled with selfreproach in his old age because he had riot been more patient with people who bored him he felt he had not been a good listener in a magazine article on good salesmanship the writer insisted it was necessary that the salesman should train himself in the art of listening you dont win the confidence and good will of prospective buyers by talking them down he said if you do that they resent your aggressiveness after allconversation isnt a oneway street a business man went on a trip to england and re turned to his family after an absence of four months as he approached home his sixyearold boy shouted from the verandah daddy im writing with ink now lots of more important things had happened in four months but to that youngster the worldshaking event was that he had graduated to a place where he could write with ink that wise business man appeared as tonished and said to the youngster thats wonderful son i want you to tell me all about it it takes a genuinely wise head and kind heart to listen to other peoples woes but it is well worth doing and there is scriptural warrant for it the prophet ezekiel was distressed and bitter when he saw the idol atries of his fellowcountrymen during their exile but he wanted to help them as well as rebuke them arid he tells us how he did it i sat where they sat he wrote he listened to them and got their point of view and only then was he in a position to help them dr g h morrison points out that although jesus became indignant we never find him ridiculing anybody he knew what was in man and that knowledge filled him with compassion even forthe most sinful when paul wrote to the philippian christians he knew how sound was this advice let this mind be in you which was also in christ jesus it is easy to raise a laugh at people and sneer at their weaknesses but it is a dangerous thing to do it degrades others and does harm to the man who indulges in it the mind of christ was never scorn
