Wilson; Toronto) waggE IS a spirit of Easter just as there history. Old 'things are being swept away. Moab is a spirit of 'Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is 'a spirit of exhilaration, ef glorious rejoicings. On ,Easter Sunday, Churches: will be crowded. Glorious music wily peal from -a thousand organs and eager choirs will proclaim "The Lord God OMpipotent reigneth," • "Christ has broke the• bonds of death, Hallelujah," In .orthodox chur- ches throughout the Worldethe worshipper will greet his friends with the salutation "Christ is risen" and will be answered, "He is risereindeed." What makes this outburst of joy and On-. fidence is the 'faith that Christ lives and moves along the streets and highways of personal and organized life, giving assurance of happiness, security and the •ultimate -conquest of man's baser self; .A few days ago in a crowded train I shared the seat with a new Canadian. She had been through the horrors of -bombardment, destruct- ion, and death in Germany during the war. The only thing that kept her from mental collapse or spiritual' suicide through it all, was the Easter affirmation that Christ lives, and ,that in the final- wind-up of history; good will triumph over -evil, We live in an exciting period of the world's place to work; a good place to hire people:- a good' place to start a new, or expand an' old bus- iness. It is very pleasant to hear about the new firms going into other towns. We rejoice in their goad fortune. But, very often these firms go into an empty building in which nothing has been made for manyyears. 'That, to tis, is a sign that that town' has been missing out on full ern- ployment for a period of time. Encouragingly enough, we read last week of a town which was fortunate enough to sell an old public school building: 'probably similar to ours here-to a firm which will employ up to 50 people. ,We re-print that news in an editorial from the Fergus paper. DURHAM GOT NEW INDUSTRY SIGNED UP IN ONE HECTIC DAY still dizzy. No wonder. On Monday, one of the Durham men heard that a couple of English manufacturera, were in Toronto looking for a place to locate in Canada. -He got them on the phone Tuesday. They had a car, loaned to them by Avro of Mahon. The were in Durham by 11,001; looked at the old school, had lunch with the committee, toured the town,. visited a law- yer, got in touch with Mrs. Cadogan and the reeve, Marian Calder, and before they town that afternoon, the visitors' had bought the old school for $6,000, had paid 10' percent down and had drawn up papers at the law office. Not only that, but they brought new busi- ness to Durham by buying a new , Oldsmobile car from a Durham garage and one of them drove away in it, the other taking back 'the borrowed car. Time of their departure was six o'clock. The whole process took just one day, MR. PARKER crusades which are worth repeat- Herald. A RATIItle strange situation, was made ev- ident in Kincardine last week, when the voters went to the polls to vote on three questioes,4 The ratepayers were asked to endorse or not, a plan for expansion in the waterworks system' which would keep water facilities at the requir- ed degree of efficiency. They also were asked to express their desires' for and against a retail liquor store and a brewers' retail store, The result showed that the Kincardine peo- ple apparently prefer the stronger stuff to the purer liquid, (Retail Liquor Store, Yes, 900; no, 562. Brewers' 'Retail Store, Yes,$97; no 565. P.U.C. expansion, yes, 272; no, 36. The Kincardine newspaper, while deploring the lack of education prior to the water vote, and which contributed to the negative vote in that regard, predicts what may come of the other decisions!

Master Beverley Boyes, six-year- old son of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Boyes, Clinton, carried off the honours at the 20th annual Strat- ford Music Festival, The first full-size book in the Ngambai language recently arriv- ed . in French Equatorial Africa, according to two Toronto Mission- aries working at Koutou. "The Ngambai New Testament is HERE!!!" "These exclamation marks mean we lack words to express the ecstasy of our joy", wrote Frances and Victor Veary. This was the reaction of the missionaries. The natives were equally ecstatic when one Christian r-Zacharie Yangar by name, was given a copy, he took it, handled it with awe, slowly turned it over and over, peeked inside as if afraid of what he might see, shook his head incredul- ously and said, "Is this, it? Am I really holding it?" "The reaction of the people was remarkable", wrote the Vearys. "A. naturally 'boisterous people whbse feeling of joy and anger often run away with them, we expected' them to get excited. Some could' not keep back the tears, others fondled the Book affectionately:" The British and Foreign Bible Society's printers achieved an ex, quisite piece of craftsmanship in the Ngambai New Testament. It is bound in three colours, black, royal blue and red. The title on the front cover is in gilt letters" to make the books more attractive. The large, clear type on the' thin strong white paper inside, intrigu- ed the natives, "The words jump out of the 'so white' page to be• read", they said. "So- white" in the Ngambai lenge:Lige is "NDA leDLU-KELD"., The missionaries' were reminded of their' search for the 5,000 words of which the New Testament in Ngambai consists when the beaks, were delivered,. For months and years they had gone from one native to .another with the ques- tions,/"What i's this? What is that?"This digging for Ngambai words they likened to the search for diamonds in the mines nearby. It was often very difficult to se- cure the right one to express the proper Scriptural meaning. A near tragedy occurred when the new book was being discussed' at the Behatarn, Bible Institute. One word puzzled one of the stud- eats. The teacher wrote the word on the blackboard, When reaching for the cloth used to erase the writing he caught only the tip of it between lilt fingers, As he rais- ed ft from the floor, to their horror the class saw a deadly snake curl- ed up beneath it. They arose quickly and pounded the viper to death, "The people Of Bebalarn, KOutoti and. MOurtdou", write the Vearys, 'The coffee break, es. applied to house-cleaning, the greatest single improvement I have ever been able Ito add to this semi- annual chore. I might go further and state that it is the only mitigating feature of the whole back-breaking business - unless one counts the end result of a, clean and shining house. I dangle a :coffee- break before my mind's eye like a carrot held before a donkey-and with very much the sane results, The don- key ambles forward, lured 'on by an ever-retreating carrot and also move steadily toward the wel- come 'goal of a blessed ten minutes when I will sit down to a, refresh- ing and warming, cup of fragrant coffee. A rest without the coffee weaves' me lame and weary, tirede cold and discouraged, and usually with the beginnin,g of a cold in the head. But, complete with coffee, it allows me to survey with Mod- est pride the duties already ac- complished, and then: to arise re- freshed and continue with what is really a very rewarding phase of housework. . Lacking complete facilities, fin- ancial and otherwise, necessary to making house-cleaning the purely spectator sport recommended in last week's column, I finally stop- ped 'stalling. I plunged into, a tide of soapsuds, floor wax, Glean dusters etc., prudently starting with the smallest room, to the greater encouragement of my efforts.

RE: INDUSTRY NO MATTER haw you look at our twin-- Clinton is fortunate. Whenever talk about industrial' promotion comes around, people are apt io mumble -that ' there is no place available for such. r'We have no empty buildings ready for them to move into!" Well, what's so bad about that? The fact that there are no empty buildings, in Clinton is a sign of the most healthy state of economic affairs possible, isn't it? An empty building would be the sign of an industry that failed, and no other.-one filled the empty space. That is not true of Clinton. The very fact that 'all available buildings are in use is a heagby sign that Clinton is a good (Fergus News-Record) FERG'US ISN'T the -only town that getting new industries these days. The Durham Chron- icle announced last week that the Martin Baker Aircraft Co. Limited, of Denham, England, had purchased the old public school , building for $6,000 and would start to, manufacture in Dur- ham as soon as possible, A factory will be built later. The firm specializes in ejection seats for jet aircraft, The English factory employs 850 and the Durham branch will have 40 to 50. Such an announcement is more or less routine these days, but the story about how the company came to Durham is surprising. Ap- parently that town has an industrial committee of three, one of whom is George Cadogan, the editor, Mrs. Cadogan is chairman of the school board. Editor Cadogan says the thing happened sa fast that members of the Board of Trade are The Stratford writer indicates that the hog plan is not the first farm development which Parker has opposed. He said the lanky Ellice township farmer was one of the leaders' who fought against TB tests' for cattle and compul- sory warble-fly -spraying-two programs which are now generally regarded as accepted as good , practice, "Rusticus" makes (Exeter Times-Advoeate) AN- INTERESTING sidelight on Theodore Mr. Parker's Parker, the Sebringville farmer who opposes the ing: --- . • • compulsory hog marketing scheme in Ontario,' is , "Does it not seem unreasonable that the revealed by "Rusticus" in The Stratford Beacon- one man who took a prominent part in the op- position of the TB test, who has been opposed to warble-fly spraying, is now most active in the opposition to the.

Meaning, suppose, that she hadn't a soul. Who can say; for sure? Not I at any rate. But certainly animals have personalities; no two exactly alike, and I like to think of little Toy in the H appy Hunting Grounds, trotting sturdily on her small legs, and with a new heart strong enough .to last her for all eternity. Letters to the Editor at $12,000.00 per year, but when you divide it down to' each day's work, it amounts to over $45.00 per day. I wonder how many farmers make that kind of money feeding hogs. When hogs sold by the Hog Producers Co-op only yield 71 per cent of dressed weight (it shows this when they left the farmer's pen on Wednesday and were not killed, until Tuesday of the next week), it all points out to care- lessness, negligence, gross ineffic- iency and mismanagement in the affairs of the hog business. Mr. McInnis, in the papers on March 15th, says that farmers have no one to blame but them- selves. There it is, boys.

And when you give' a man the power of the law over your busi- ness, there's just what happens-- the servant becomes the master, and he's telling you. Yours truly, THEODORE PARKER. R.R.
