BACK... TO WORK. AGAIN
The anticipationof summer and va-
cation tini:e, has for many come and gone
,as summer' is fleeting, fast. So it is at The,
Sentinel Office; as we're back to .work after
a relaxing respite from the daily and weekly
deadlines associated with this business,
But somehow or other,, returning to
work and facingthe reality of getting back
"into the, groove," despite its. pressure and
tensions, isn't 'so bad. •Y'
What' makes it easier, possibly, is the
fact that many readers have seen• fit to tell.
us that they .miss the paper, and there ..is
something amiss in the weekly routine when:
it fails .to arrive:' The weekly paper seems
to be taken pretty much for granted, and;
it 'does stimulate us to 'renewedeffort, to.
give this community the very best weekly
paPer within our physical and editorial
capacities:
Naturall � the printing and publishing
Y ,
business is . a Means. of livelihood, but,
frankly ` and; 'honestly, the prime ',purpose
that spurs us, is to produce a paper worthy
of,' and a credit to, this'.' progressive and
flourishing community
• To pp
ac om - hsh, this,'we `need the hel'�.
c
and co-operation of all who read, and are
interested in the paper Your help and tip-
offs .. when a . newsy item occurs, is indeed .•
appreciated. Don't take it. for granted, we
know about it .-often we . are the' last to
hear, it seems:
But; hearsay has no place in the col
urnns of 'this paper. ,To' the best of our •'
ability, and facilities in : making contact, we •
endeavour to .obtainauthenticity to every-
thing we publish,'

LITTERBUGS
There seems 'to •• be a . growing aware-
• ness of the importance • of keeping streets,
panes and' highways free of' . :litterbug
waste. A campaignlaunched a year or so
agoby the Federated • Women's 'Institutes
has. had the support of other organizations,
and. this plus' the efforts that the.
campaign, would seem to. be bearing re-
sults.' There- is however, ..still' . much room
for improvernent.:
Trash, cans are a familar ' sight in some
municipalities, placed there by the Corpor-j
ation or as' service club projects. How ef,-
fective they are in .keeping main streets
clean, we don't know, -but : in parks. and .on _
the highways,those who. use, and .appreci-
ate, facilities for ,cleanliness, are more• and,
more particular it would • appear.
Not only is the trash can used to. en-
courage.cleanliness but the.litterbag is now
becoming' a popular ,receptacle ,to aid in
keeping the 'nation's.` highways and byways
more tidy -to, say. nothing. of the' family
car's interior and upholstery.
Trash cans might be .'a ` consideration
by.the `'Lions or some other local organiza-
tions: If. -they would :tend to discourage :.
and",educate the litterbug, ,they would cer-
tanly" serve a worthwhile purpose: We have
a . main 'street of which , we can ,be .justly
proud,'- and everyone should do what they
can to help. keep; it clean.'
The official opening of the St. Law-
rence project . and the / ccompletion : of the
Niagara development have marked further
momentous steps ..:by the Hydro -Electric
Power ,Commission of Ontario. ' The ' Com-
mission ' which supplies .., approximately 90 :
per . cent of theelectricity used in Ontario,
must constantly plan and develop new
sources of• power to ,meet the .constant in-
creasing demand for hydro. Recent 'achi-
evements permit no 'resting on .,the oars,
and. the H.EP.0 is deep into plans for the
future, which include the development of
the• remaining power sites ' in the ' province •
and the constructon of thermal. generating
plants, both conventional and •' nuclear:'
Thousands of Ontario citizens are
even, now planning their Labour. Day week-
end programme. Because school opens fin-
mediately,afterl
:..
mediatel ' this last . long week -end . of -
g..
thesummer season, many .fathers ; and
mothers are prompted to make this three-
day
hreeday holiday , a last happy family fling.
These happysorties, however, tend to: build
up the `greatest concentration of highway
traffic •'in the entire year. Observe all the "'
rules of traffic safety, to, bring 'yourself and
your family back alive: •

Are beards 'coining' back? We don't
think so, but in this era of television, they
are certainly more promiscous.' There pur-
pose we don't know, but if it is to denote
• individualism, • sophistication or culture,
they would seem to be falling far .short of
this purpose.The remarks we hear are any-
thing but complimentary . and certainly
don't add any ,` stature ' . to the wearer.

The • Ontario/ Safety ;,League; ' stresses:,
that two-thirds of all fatal accidents occur
at 'night, 'even.though only one-third of the
driving .is, .done at that -time:
Speaking editorially the Teeswater
News ' says it learns that no charges are
contemplated . in connection. with .a triple
fatality ;recently near that ' Village, . and
`cannot' comprehend.. the nonchalant atti-
tude," in view of.the circumstances of the
case. .
The , ingenuity of some. Merchants is.
illustrated by a. Galt retailer who advertised
. a "pre -flood sale." Why wait until the
•
water has ruined my stock?, he queried.
Getting. one's . sales message over most ef-
fectively ,requires putting some thought .and
planning into an eye-catching , message,
followed up with store displays and some
salesmanship.
