1T'S TIME TO ' SELL:'•LUCKNOW
The tremendous public response to.
the ' Rathwell Shoe removal sale is indic-
ative o. f what could be done: ion a corn
munity basis if business men and...women
would" :'4get their heads. togetherfor a
few hours periodically and develop some
'ales promotions
Ther -h -'u 3!in8Public !are . ever .alert for
_.
bargains . and would make Lucknow their
buying centre if given reason to do so.
The village has : a progressive, modern
group of stores that enjoy a favourable
share of patronage, but as a group, they
do little to stimulate business and bring
the shopper to town.,
The only' function of the business
men's association for many years has been
to give, the kids. a treat at Christmas • time ..:
irtntl set store hours. For this a small per-
centage of business. -people get together
for a few hours a, year.. These . same bus-
iness people spend, dozens and dozens of .
hours : a year promoting many community
projects, but when it comes to promoting
their • own business on a community. basis
they ; appear indifferent,
The ;Sentinel has long maintained . that=,
it is : not the man down , thestreet,' or•
across the 'road, who ' is .the biggest " oppo-
sition to the Lucknow merchant. : It' is ' the
man in the towns and : cities for' . miles
around ' who are constantly luring =• • the

provide a start . in community, sales pro

entire ' answer, but we think it is a step in
the right direction.

(Newmarket Era ' and Express)
As a newspaper we wish that some-
thing could 'be done to rid the . world of
gossipers ' and scandal mongers. But ap
parently "this is • impossible.• In, any cornnmu-
my
cornmu-
nity
there is always at; least; one • person: who,
r Y.�•,.
insists' that he:oz she knows about ,every-`°
thin that ''is going ; ' on. As far as they are
g -g g ., .
concerned `:everything .• and '•everybody : is
"fixed." They ` 'say . local politicians are
fixed;" newspapermen tire fixed,,.,,sports
.
are "fixed" -' ., and the police are "fixed."'
Their list of garbled "inside information"
is hair-raising and the majority of it's highly
improbable. .
These people, while cgrtainly a men-
ace,
are' also to be pitied. They fall victims
togullibility and; becometheir
enmeshed in+
own everlasting• search for an "angle." This
type really believes that truth does not
exist and . that beneath the veneer, of verac-
tity lies the murk and mireof doubt and
double-dealing. These people refuse to ac
`cept the fact that a social .conscience. still •..
exists. Their opinions . are, influencea
anyone with a chip on . their shoulder, . they
fall for any tall yarn and are an easy mark
for any rumor. The wilder : the " allegation
the more eager they are to spread it
• EASE YOUR TENSIONS`
T h e pressures and tensions ° of modern.
day business, and how we face them, have
a very definite bearing on one's physical
and mental well being. •
, Most ' every occupaton . willhave its
pressures in varying degrees and likewise.
in varying. -ways., Certainly the newspaper
business,, with its never ending deadlines,, is
among the high pressure groups, and as.
such the following "solutions" on reliev-
ing tension interested us. Wefeel it will
be of interest and: merits reproduction. In
part, . it 'is from the Royal Bank . of Canada's
monthly letter:
We.. cannot, by mere act of, will;
banish injurious tension, but wecan get rid
of it by constructive thought and action.
"Always givein when the situation'
does not matter much . to you. Go into neu-
tral.-
eu-tral." Decide. in this' restful mood whether.
the problem is worth gnawing your nails
about. Or • try the expulsive power of a
new affection, a • new interest, a new . pur-
pose. in life. Take a dose of . healing laugh-
ter. •
'Harmful' tension' islurking around
every, ;corner of.our lives; at home,: in the
office, in the ,factory,, in traffic, in the ele
vator. When we allow our common sense `.
.to take over we give way. in the face of ,•
the irresistable and ' cease banging our heads
against the immoveable;
° "No lullaby will ease, the tense mind.
We must uncover 'the - cause and do, some-
thing aboutit, or;;. reconcile ourselves 'to.
things as they are. ~ The true : expertness in
handling life is to keep a ' proper balance
between tension and energy. .
'.'Rest from harmful 'tension is';•a°-har-
monious adjustment of: the necessities and
accidents and opportunities and hopes and
actions of life. Ir' results : in the calm supre-
macy circumstances."

The, time , .to get primed for ' the, future
is :'when you're 'still' in your: prime.
