It's Enthusiasm That Makes the Difference
The measure of a toWn isto gi'eat
degree the enthusiasm with which its
citizens speak of it.
This enthusia, m becomes -eden
ti many ways and under varying,
, . .
:eurastances as the. Acton:Free Press
c..has recently pointed out.
,When did you last do tomething.,
*,..f4r the town that would prove, you
had a degree of enthusiasm for- the-
, place you live? asks the Free Press.
It may seem that most small, towns
e similar as you drive through -but
if you hesitate a little longer you may
Tfind a very noticeable difference.
' It's the degree of enthusiasm. that
•.'exi-sts within -a -town that mak-es it--
better or worse than another towri of
"nriparable size.
Enthusiasm for one's town is evi-
, denced in a number of ways, There
IS an active interest in municipal af-
' fairs with no particular problem get-
ting candidates at nomination tune.
There are activetchurches, serving
the needs of the Congregation and
participating in the building of a,
,IE3tro31g moral community. Commun-
ity organizations have active mem:
bers who collectively seek the better-
ment of the town through a variety
_of projects.
Of course the enthusiastic ton, wis
.also blessed with.cheerful merchants
who exude their -eoufidence .in the
town they serveand with interested
industrialists who heel( the better
ment of the community in which they
are located. f
The passerby may notice- some o
the evidence of an enthusiastic com-
munity but the real evidence is there*,
xxiainly to those who stop a little long-
er
Enthusiasm is an _advantage to a \
community and stra,ngely 'enough it
all starts with youa single citizen.
YOU are the Motivating force behind
an active,. community. You are the
community. There isn't any room far
"them". There isn't any room to -
stand or the sidewalk, and watch the
town parade by. The observer Is too
often hypercritical as a means of
justifying.his position
There isn't room in' the enthusias-
tiC community for destilictive criti-
cism; only the constructive kind that
-builds communities. -In _the enthusi-
astic, community, that one that ' vi
-
'prates with_ co-ePerative. ..efforts
there is only room for action.- and ac
tii
ve nterest.
The Acton paper Concludes, by ask-,
ing a question, the answer 'to which
marks the difference - between pro -
kind:

For Sure
• We noted in the new the -other clay
that the ?rinie,:Ministerhad.
quivocal doubts" on a eertai4 matter.
Thislas an interesting kind, of doubt
for Mr k Diefenbaker to entertain) so
interesting that we looked the word-
upin. theiclictionary. "Unequivocal" -
- means "Without doubt", so we -
take jt for granted that Mr. Diefen-
baker's doubts are of the kind im-
mortalized by Gilbert and Sullivan—
"of that there is rio manner'of doubt
no 'probable, possible- 'shadow • of

It -seems to me that about this
time last year I wrote a tender,
lyrical column, practically an ode,
abOnt teptemlier. The golden, lin-
gering days; the cool, haunting ev-
enings; the farewell fling at the
trout; the last, crisp game of golf;
old Mother Nature lying, voluptu-

What Canadian Ship ▪ Disappeared
The Griffori, lirSt :vessel to sail
the upper Great Lakes. It was'
built for Rene Robert Cavelier,
Sierir de LaSalle, at Niagara by
Ship carpenters recruited in
France. The carpenters worked
under the direction of ,Henri de'
Tonti, L,aSalle's- lieutenant. The
Griffon 'Was' probably less than 60
feet in length and of abeut,60. tans,
Launched on ogust 7, 1679, she
sailed- on. her maiderr-voyage,-with
LaSalle on board; on August 27.
She went first to Michilimackinac
and 'then to Green BaY, on Lake
Michigan. There LaSalle left her.
On September 18, laden with furs,
-she sailed for Niagara and was -
never see e -again. Wreckage found
'pn the western end of Manitoulin
Island probably' indicates where
she camet� grief. ,

The federal overnimerit's butter
price support program is f-aaing a
crisis as surplus stacks in storage
head for a we
neall-time high. ,
. By the first of 'September th6 ,
volume of butter in storage acros's
the country jumped. to 124,984,000
Tedridg:16;0011;0011-frounds above the
seasonal pe,ak that was hit'in No-
vember,la'st year, and only 3,700,-
000 pounds below the record of
127,800,000 in November, 1955. -
With butter expected to continue
piling up for another month'or so,
there seemed little doubt that .the
surplus on, hand this year would
far exeeed ` the 1955 high. This -
wcaild present the government:With,
a serious disposal problem and
perhaps- the necessity of dropping
.the present 64 -cent support price -or ,„
selling to consemers at a loss.
