Our Primal Need For Applause*
"SPOKEN AT THE RIGHT TIME, in the
right way, there is magic in a word of praise,"
said the late Fulton Oursler in one of his
last articles, appearing in the August Reader's
Digest.
Oursler, who used to bid his friends good-
bye with the words "God bless," understood
the deep, primal need of all humans for ap-
plause. Without praise and encouragement,
anyone can lose self-confidence. Thus we all
have a double necessity: to be commended and
to know' how to commend.
The art of praising, if pioperly exercised,
"can turn the noisy rattle of the, world into
music." But discernment and sincerity are
needed if your compliment is really to warm
the recipient's heart. A woman of the author's
acquaintance congratulated a businessman on
the "wonderfully convincing" speech he had
delivered. But when she added, "I could not
help thinking what a fine lawyer you would
have made," the merchant flushed like a
schoolboy at the unexpected character of the
tribute.
Nowhere do the principles of the art of
praise need recognition more than in marriage,
Oursler wrote. The wife or husband who is
alert to .say the heartening thing at the right
moment has taken out valuable marriage in-
urance. Children expecially are hungry for
appreciation, and the want of it in childhood
can endanger the growth of charactex,
Oursler emphasized the importance of ex-
pressing now, while they are in our minds,
the pleasant truths we all know about our
wives, husbands, friends. We should remem-
ber that "a rose tq the living is more than
sumptuous wreaths to the dead," and utter the
good word today while the ears it is intended
for can still hear it. Tomorrow, or next week
or next year, may be too late.
'Facts and' Figures
IN THE YEARS between the census of
1901 and the census of 1951, it is noted in
the new edition of Quick Canadian Facts, a
reference book which pretty well covers the
Canadian scene, this country's population
distribution changed from 60 per cent rural
and 40 per cent urban to 60 per cent urban
and 40 per cent rural, Earners who have
searched for farm help, and city dwellers who
have searched for housing accommodation, can
relate this migration to their own experiences.
Perhaps the principal reason for the situation
is reported in other figures which deal with
the earnings of industrial and agricultural
labour.
"The national average wages of male farm
help, per month without board, stood at $121
a month in 1951. This amounts to '$1,452 a
year. The average of hourly wages paid in
manufacturing stood at $1.22 an hour. For a
40-hour week this amounts to $2,537.60 a year.
These figures, of course, are national averages.
Farm help in. Ontario would command a con-
siderably higher wage- But industrial help in
the . province also earns more than industrial
employees across the country.

DEAR SIR:
I would like to know if there
will be another harness horse
race meeting in Clinton this sum-
mer and if there is, please send
me some bills of it. I live near
Greenway and I will be only
too glad to put them around for
you. I was up to your races on
June 18 for the first time, and
must say I never was used so
good,
Your men at the gate were the
finest ever, .as they pointed out
a good place to park my car.
The system you had was the best
I have ever seen and I have been
going to races since I was a kid.
Everything was perfect. Such•
nice stables and grandstand, al-
ways in the shade, also a good.

I will not miss Clinton again
and will bring all I can get In

Wishing you the best
Yours truly,

Hello folks! How are you stand-
ing the weather? Now please
don't come back with that old
bromide about "It's not the heat
'but the humidity", because I
know, from delving through the
-wastebasket, (where believe it
or not, a mouse gleans' quite a
bit of knowledge), that the heat
is the cause, the actual down to
'earth cause of this uncomfortable
humidity. So don't let anybody
tell you that he could stand the
heat,, if that were all.

I was flying helter skelter
over the folder, just getting
into position for a good slide
down the metal platform,
when right there, printed in
black letters a foot high,
were the words, "Danger,
Drive Slowly". I tried des-
perately to come to a full
stop, and ended up disgrac-
ed, dangling between two of
the tapes that carry the paper
into the rollers. And, of all
things, I had to be rescued
by a young dare-devil mouse
who happens to fancy him-
self a second Super-mouse.
Now whatever possessed the
Men to leave. such a sign right
out in the open like that? My
only consolation was, that the
thing was spelled correctly. I do
get about a bit, and now and
then even get out upon the high-
way for a wee drive, riding on
someone's fender, and to me its
just a bit discouraging to see all
those highway signs, saying
"Drive Slow". Such a deliberate
murthering of the Queen's Eng-
lish!
Just past the witching hour,
Tuesday morning, the wailing of
a banshee had us mice out of our
beds behind the four-ply card,
clutching each other desperately
in utter terror. We're not sus-
picious-we have enough to con-
tend with just worrying about
what People are going to do-but
that terrible wailing, rising to a
pitch that threatens the eardrums,
and dying off to a mere scream,
only to rise in pitch once more,
was enough to make a mouse be-
lieve in the witches of MacBeth,
the ghost of Hamlet, and all the
hobgoblins of Hallowe'en.
But we found this morning
that 'twas only the new fire siren
that just lately has been installed
on the roof or the Public Utilities
building. And the cause was a
fire alarm turned in when a car
caught fire on the Bridge at the
south side of the town. So we
can settle down to a bit of peace-
ful living again until the siren
lets loose once more.
