KEEP .THE HOLIDAY SAFE
In' warning of 'the seemingly inevitable ..
forthcoming '. Labo Day week -end traffic
toll, Mr. F. 1-1. Ellis, general manager, :of
the Ontario: Safety League says:
"We ask. each. 'driver • to . give a few
extra moments on, his vacation trip, .so that
he ` doesn't have totake • senseless chances
an the never-ending tension of trying to get
ahead of the . car in front. If he: ' starts his
journey prepared.. to give up a little time
to the common good, he will drive relaxed
and arrive relaxed'.
"And d .,. if he Will give extra

other road;: users, as well, as to the avoid
ance . of danger for : everybody, our high-
ways over the holiday will be ; a lot safer,.

LOST SUBSCRIBER
•
\ (Solana, Calif. Republican '
We have never yet known. .a weekly
in,
publisher who . didn't have more .:faith
subscribers :than . they ,'sometimes Warrant.
Some: will, let, their subscription ride :.from a
period of. months to one of years. Mast of
them :want' to ~see the old home town paper
• in' . their mail box'' every • week, but` just '
never get around to dropping' a check in
the mail or 'stop}ing, by at the office`with
their renewal: Publishers know this .;and.
h; baye .a great faith in their subscribers, and
' as.long as we've been in the business we've
-never known too many subscribers:.. who.,
ever gave the newspaper man a reason:: to
believe he ought_ to have his. 'faith ..lifted.
Which. -reminds us of the story of a
country editor who.' came home. ,to dinner
one day wearing, a • broad •'smile : 'Good
news, dear?" asked his. wife.
"I'•11 say,"• was ,the, answer. "You know'.
Tom Snodgrass thee. one who hasn't paid
his. subscription for five years'?" • •
"Tom °`Snodgrass Snodgrass! : You don't mean . he •

• to School for the first time. The schoolbell
will .be greeted with mixed sentiments, but
underlying ' it all should be : an ' appreciation
of' the 'educational opportunities this coun-
try offers;' ,
We never cease to be; 'amazed` and dis-
mayed' by the delight some pedple take in
malicious . gossip_ Mich of • it is passed on
without regard 'to the truth, because .so-
and-so said so. From distorted facts, • to
half truths and actual hes, the yarns go

The Lucknow ' and • ,District Horticul-
tural Society has scored another success in
its 2nd annualflower • show. The number of
exhibitors and especially the number of
exhibits appears to have far surpassed that
of other district shows. The enthusiasm and
interest that has been aroused .locally in
horticulture- bids fair. 'to,: make .the Sepoy
Village increasingly attractive . from year to
year.
One reason why :Ontario's standard
of living is among the .highest, in. the world

IS IT' BECOMING, A LOST ART?
. The ' radio .and. ' ' television era has
brought. numerous changes; in our way of
life, andvery notably infringes on leisure.
ly farrlity 'and social conversation, to • a
point' where., one wonders what .the future
holds for t'he 'art of intelligent conversation,
Her. e ' are some suggestions from a
recent magazine article:
• • ;Turn Off, the TVly...
Turn

centrate so hard ,on what they. plan , to
'say next •: that they don't hear .the other.

tercets. • If you encourage. him to discuss
his. pet projects youll never' suffer an 'ANA
. -
ward silence
• Avoid Dull Details. It .doesn't really:
matter if, : an incident happened .on Monday,
or Thursday. Stick to the important facts
of your story:
Speak. Precisely: If: you. jump, from
.P
one .topic . `to • another' chances are •: your
listeners ' will get lost and; give up: •
Avoid Interrupting: . If you . really
mut s .'break in, . try g
to do it gracefully. Use
-.,,
the, name of the person.s you are interrupt -
in :: to 'ask:. "John,: may .I add something
to what you just said?'
..Be -Tolerant and. Tactful If the
:speaker• irritates you, try to concentrate on
the facts. Forget his personality:
.
Be Free:• With our . Praise . . re -
But
merrilaer to • 'direct; it toward something
specific. Telling- a speaker you 'liked his
speech, • for- example, is less meaningful'
than praising ;a specific. point ,he • made. :It
shows ,you: really listened.•
Even if , you forget the points, try an
evening of . conversation', for satisfaction.
MPs. AND • PENSIONS
(Fort Erie Letter -Review)
• ,•
Higher ,pensions for MPs popped up
as'toP ic in Senate ii dying days of present
session of .Parliament; Chief advocate of
increased :: retirement" . benefits for ::parlia-
mentarians :is. Senator • T.. D'Arcy. Leonard, ,
,.r Liberal, . who thinks it is a • downright-dis- . .
grace :that MPs have to serve 16 years in
order to collect a $3,000 a' year pension:
Parliamentarians; . to be . sure, '::carry
heavy ' 'responsibilities. Worth remember-
ing,
. .
however, ' is fact that no' one is requ ir=
.ed to serve in Parlament-: unless he 'or she
wishes to do so Worth' remembering, too,
is that 'higher pensions.for MPs would' tend '.
to 'develop "carper". politicians -
--
,thing which 'under''a parliamentary democ-
racy is highly ,undesirable,:.Money for high
-
pr parliamentary pensions, now generous,
would just be another 'added 'cost.. of gov-
eminent to come out'. of taxpayer'. pocket-
books. •

One 'thing the world needs is a sum-
mit ;:conference that's on the level:
There's , nothing improves a man's drive
ing like spotting a police car.

Though traffic rules they disobey,
kiddies ' always have the "right-of-way.''
Culture, ' like custard, curdles when
it's overdone.
if you can't get behind a movement;
for the good of the community, the least
' • you' can do is `'get out from in front of it.
In a free country, productivity is es-
sential to- the, permanence of any guaran-
teed wage. One can scarcely argue that a
