The' first Sunday in June is' an . Interna-
Uional r9 but-Sn's Day to encourage remembrance
of the sick, disabled 'and others who are corm•
fined indoors -1n hospitals, convalescent homes
and private residences. •
The Shut-lln's I'Day • was conceived in 1942, ,
by: •a Young Canadian "semi -invalid, Ernest.
Barker of IGoderivh,. and, as a .result of the . .
- letters he' -wrote . to 'weekly • and • daily papers,
the -.suggestion "snowballed" until it • leas 'be
:Come: an Association, which finds endorsation.
and membership •in .Canada, ' United ',States, : •
England, Scotland; Franee' and South America.:.•
.While .our modern world can,. in many
ways,make it possible,'for Shut -inns to pass
the ; time enjoyably • by reading, pursuing a •
hobby,watching: television or listening to the •
radiq, it must be remep bered that these are.
only a substitute :for the companionship and
excitement found by most of us in our day
• to -day living. • ' •
;Shut-In's l,3ay is our Opportunity to re;
-
member those less • ' fortunate Than ourselves..
A. visit, • card, letter. or gift '• from you :will
. make• a "shut-in much happier...Your
brance and• understandingwill be gratefully
• appreciated.
SOME THINGS, • . SOME LEARN'
Sooner.' or ' later, a man, if he is wise,'
discovers that life; is a mixture of good days
andbad, victory . and defeat, Ove and take:
He learns that it ': doesn't, pay to be a sensitive
soul,, that he should . let some ; things go over
his head dike, water. off 'a duck's back. He •
learns.. -,that he who : loses his temper usually'
loses' •out . ,
He learns that .carrying , •. a °hip on his,
shoulder;, is the -easiest. way to get into a fight.
He learns that the quickest way to become
unpopular is to carry tales and gossip 'about•.,
others. He learns that buckpassing always
turns out to be a. bommeran.g: and that. it never '
• an
pays. He comes .to .realize that the business
could run, . perfectly..: well ., without'him. iHe•
• learns that it doesn't matter so •much who .gets
the credit as long as there are accomplish-
ments, although it is not easy to be the mov-
ing .•force :and. have someone else bask in the
glory. o
glory: ,He learns that .evem. the janitor is •hu-
man and that It doesn't do ;any harm to smile
and say'"Good Morning," even f it is raining:
He learns that "happiness" depends largely
on one's, own. behaviour.
COULD BE :THE SOLUTION
A .midwestern ;magistrate: ,recently deliv-
ered an acid- comment to two intoxicated
drivers :.whose . cars had 'collided. ' . Said the
judge: "I wish to 15ccminend you two drinking
drivers for running into each •other..instead of.
some innocent person. If this'sort of ,thing can
be encouraged, • I think we may have hit upon
the' solution : of one of our- most '. serious, traffic
liroblems:,' .
Middle. age /is when our tripping be-
comes .:less right and more fantastic. •
Dont be so ,busy sawing wood that. you
don't . have' time to .sharpen. 'the saw.,

(Wiarton. Echo)
This year, several • members have: quit the '

Bay 'area, not: just the industrial end of it.

roads and•'is' interested in conservation mea
sures.
No small. mit
municipality can afford to go
alone in the search for industry.. Fees to the
Association.. are only 10c per capitaper, year.
• Surely this is a small,price to pay for services
. and the area promotion, that. is.,being done by
-'the, Georgian Bay Development Association.

DON'T BE A. SUCKER.:
(Dundalk Herald) ,
With the': good' weather. a strange breed of
then .: and women will ' be abroad -,-they are
already showing ,themselves at the ' doors of
• households `in •near-by-towns,possibly' even in
Dundalk.
These are the people who. believe the .old
saying, "There's a ,sucker born . every minute"
and enj.y going about the country ,Proving the.
truth of it.: '
Don't be ' a sucker! •
-Deal.with the people :you: know. Buyfrom
the merchants 'established ,in business. If any-
thing goes wrong with the job after is it done,
you will be, able 'to find them in the .store
where you are accustomed to shop. .;
REAPING ' THE WIIIREWIND
(The 'Printed Word)
There would have . been no murder or riot
in Newfoundland if union leaders and pickets,
sympathizers and 'others .had heeded the`warn-
ing of the . attorney -general, of that • province.
Some weeks ago, quite 'a time efore the strike
started, he:warned that pickets had.no. more
right to molest 'citizens on the. public' .roads' •
`•than, have' other people, and. that' being a mem-
ber• df a union. •on strike. does ' not : confer special
privileges ' of any 'description. ; .
This h is being paraded • by union ...leaders
and sympathizers as• an outrageous curtailment
of the aa-calledrights: of strikers.:: It is not
surprising. that such an .attitude ' has : been. ttak-
en, because;fo`r'the last '• fifteen' years there has.
.been a : notable cowardliness. on the part , of
government in its. attitude towards unions
and. strikers: Peaceful' picketing is one thing.'
• Obstruction : and violence are another-. They
can be ,.no more • condoned in the case. of `a
striker' than if he were.another , citizen not on
strike.. • .
• Unijeaceftil Picketing or 'obstruction.
which prevents lawful ' entry or egress from
places of business is a condition which has
been condoned" in fact by people learned, sup-
posedly, in the law. ' One lecturer from the
law school at, one . time said that unlawful pic-
keting is necessary' if unions are to win strikes
and he.' argued that, of course, unlawful pie=
'keting .should be condoned.... '
