...This man is .freed from servile ban&
Of hope ,to rise, or far to Toll;

And having nothing, yet hath, all."
In "As You Like It,'; Shakespeare discusses,
- adversity: ''
"Sweet are uses of adversity',
. Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;

Finds tongues in trees, books in the running

And Christina Rossetti answers' the
questions of many troubled persons in her
poem "Up-hill":..
"Does the Toad wind ,up-hill all the way?
Yes,' to the very end. •
Will the day's journey take the whole long

with cars or trucks whose drivers never
"see" the bicyclist until after too late.
As a bityclist, you have just ag much
right to the road as cars, buses or trucks.
But you're small and they're big, and
being right doesn't help if they don't see
you! Soil's up to you, to watch out for you.
Stay alert to stay alive !
We urge you and your family to become
familiar with the rules of bicycle safety.
Your Ontario government has -
prepared a special booklet called "
Bicyclist's Handbook". It covers c.y."6
tips, rules of theroad, traffic signs, how
to become an expert cyclist and how to
rhaintain a safe bicycle.

A public inquiry into rebates,. discounts

angry. I us Ifv slam doors. but '
for the sake of the neig ours, maybe I'll try
reading. Unfortunatel many of us. vent our -
anger and frustrati I on innocent people. This
practice reminded Blanton of the woggly
bird in one of Ed ard Lear's anthologies,:
"The woggly bit. sat 'on the whango tree
N•ooking the rinku it corn.
And grape'. and. g •• per.. alas! grew he,
And cursed the day lie was born.
His elute was chum ,and his voice Was rum

•
Now the whango tree had a bubbly thorn,.
As sharp as a nootie's bill,
And it stuck in woggly bird's umptim torn
And weepadge. the smart did thrill.

For .he couldn't at all get free.• • .••.„ ..• .

- And there he sits .stitt-witic no worm in his

. And no guggledom in his nest:'
He is hungry and bare; and 'sobliddred With
care, .
And his grabbles give hint no. rest;,
'He is weary and sore and his tugmot is blore
And nothing to nob has he,
As he chirps,. lain blammed and corruptibly
jammed
in the guggerdom whango tree."
Considering anger in a more serious vein,,
John Greenleaf Whittier wrote "Forgiveness"
"My heart was heavy.. for its-,trust had been
Abused. its kindness answered w I
wrong:
So. turning gldomily from n v fel wmen,
One summer Sabbath day i s ed among
The green tin tunas of the village burial-place;
Where.; pondering how all human Nlov4 and

Find one sad level; and how, soon or late,
Wronged and wrongdoer. each with

And cold hands foldabver a still heart:
Pass the green threS•hold of our 'common

Whither all. footsteps tend. • whence none
depart •
Awed .for myself. and pitying my race.
Our cominpn sorrow, like amighty-wave,
Swept' all my 'pride away. and trembling I
forgave!"
Combatting anxiety is the theme of Sir
Henry Wotton's "Character . Of A Happy
Life":.. • <,
"How hapPy is he born and taught
