' * * * EiveryfbodY lies a little,, most people lie quite a bit, and some people lie practically every time they open their mouths. But„ all parents lie all the time to their children. They not only tell them lies, but teach them to be liars. * * ,Children are not born liars. In fact, until they become hardened to it, like their parents, they are very uncomfortable about uttering a falsehood. But when they dis- cover every day in their lives that something their parents passed on as gospel is just so much malar- key, they don't have a chance to go straight. al. 'Parents will tell you, with tears in their eyes, that they lie to their children only to "protect" the little darlings. That, of course, is unadulterated, 100-proof poppy- cock and self-deception of the low- est type. What they do is tell the kids lies to protect themselves. They lie boldly and badly to cov- er their own ignorance, to salvage their self-esteem, and to wheedle the kids into doing something they don't want to do. * * Here's an example of how adults "protect" children from the cruel realities of life. It happened right here in town A. little girl that I know quite well was taken to a funeral recently by her mother. The lady didn't want to upset the child, so, before they advanced to "view the remains", a barbar- ous custom, by the way, she whispered to her that the corpse wasn't dead, just "asleep". The tot trudged to the coffin clutch- ing her guardian's hand, took a look, and said with disgust, loud and clear: "He's not asleep! He's dead!" * * Another astonishing aspect of this lying business is the reaction of parents when their kids turn the tables and lie to them. Moth- ers who will, tell their children, without batting an eye, that the stork doesn't really bring babies, the doctor 'brings them in his little black bag, will weep broken- hear- tedly when their child tells them he's finished his liver, and they find it on the floor, under the table, after he's left for school. The perfidy of it! * Fathers who will groaningly in- form their youngsters on a Sunday morning that Daddy has the 'flu, when all daddy has,,,is a big, fat hangover, will put their hands over their hearts, say this hurts me more than it does you, and beat hell out of the urchin 'who hav had the supreme audacity to say he handed in his collection, when he spent it on a popsickle on the way to Sunday School. *** Biggest field of, falsification for parents is when they talk of their own childhood. Apparently, to hear them burble on, the earth Was inhaibited, in those days, by a species of small, virtuous, pun- ctual, diligent and cbedient creat- ure,be thelikeof which has never et seen since. * What does my Wife tell the kids about her 8601 days? Oh, dull stuff like how attentive she was, and how she went straight home after school, and how she won a prize for having the neat- eSt copybook at the school fair, She negleetsa to mention things like the day she smashed her slate ever a little boy's head, and sent him home with a tenettesiori, be, cause he pinched het, 40 Years Ago Clinton New October 18, 1911 Vitas' Annie?

Later I was remembering. * * It's true I 'didn't have a bike at that-age, but my big brother did. On every possible occasion, I'd purloin it, Favorite sport of self and a few kindred souls was careening 'down the steepest hill in _town, without hands, and at the bottom, switching from the road to a footbridge that crossed' the river. If you grabbed the handlebars, you were known as "chicken". Alternatives were to hit the main 'bridge stanchions, hit the rail of the footbridge and go over into four feet of water, or, watched over by a higher pow- er, flash across the narrow foot- bridge. Four time's I made it. Then one day I hit the bridge. That's why I didn't have a bike when I was a kid, It took me four years to pay for the dam- age to my brother's. * * Why do we keep boring our kids with lies about being late for school, always hanging up our clothes, never fighting with our brothers and• sisters, and always doing what we were told, when we were children? They'd prob- ably be a lot more interested if we painted ourselves as the scruf- fy, snotty-nosed, insolent, lazy, rude and violent little beasts we undoubtedly were. Judging from the kids they adopt as their bos- om chums at school, that's the sort they respect most.

You say, "Ridiculous, absurd, unthinkable," but in Ms recent address on " The Challenge of Opportunities in Africa" L. B. Greaves pointed out hew and why it comes about. In the Gold Coast region of Africa, the Bible is the people's daily bread; for their soul's health they must have it, in regular and adequate supply. That the de- mand is there is clear from what happens whenever the supply falls short; at once a black market is created. Traders wait outside the bookshops, send in children one by one to buy the few avail- able copies at 4/6d., collect them from them and sell them again at 16/6d. The demand is such that a black market of this kind is an ab- solutely safe investment, and tot- ally destructive of the Bible Soc- iety's purpose to supply men and women with the Scriptures at a prire they can afford. rill and Rev, 'George Watts Prea- ching, and Rev.

CLINTOIy NEWS-TMCORD PAGE •TWO THURSPAY, OCTOBER 17, 1957 a TROUGH COLUMNISTS in England may get terrifically upset over what they claim to be a "school girl attitude" in, the Queen, and one editor manages to spread a spate of the same stuff all over the United States and Canada right at the time of her visit to this continent, their opinions are certainly not agreed with by the thousands and thousands of people who semi her in Ottawa last weekend, nor by the millions who viewed her oh television from their living-rooms in both Canada and the Unit- ed States. • Queen Elizabeth II is a lovely lady, who was taken to the hearts of adults and children WHAT MORE • RECENT REPORTS, both in newspaper, and at/first hand, of the protest meeting held in Stratford over the Hog Producers, Association compulsory direction' plan, 'indicate that some people feel that the' Hog Marketing Association, the Board and the Agency are acting in an autocratic manner. This is not the first time that cries of "Dictators!" have. been heard with regard to the Hog Producers, but it certainly should be the last time. The representatives of the Hog Producers, Asiociation are elected by the farmers them- selves each year at the annual Meeting of the County Hog Producers Association. The selec- tion is by Vote, and by ballot if requested by anyone, at the meeting. Representatives are spread over the County, with some from each 'of the townships, according to the numbers of hogs produced in the County. This is the same manner in which provincial and federal repre- sentatives are elected by the various ridings. alike, as she and her handsome husband, the. Prince Philip, brought their gracious presence into the public thoroughfares of our nation's capital. It was perfectly marvelous to see her pro- ceeding so unconcernedly through the dense crowds in Ottawa. That this view should be from our own living room, and with the ever- present feeling of kinship with the rest of ban.ada, where we knew people were seeing her, too, will be forever wonderful to us. We wish the best of health and happiness to her and her family, and Godsfeed in her journeyings back home, and to us again 'in 1959. CAN BE ASKED These representatives (Huron had 19 at the last annual) go to Toronto to attend the annual meeting of the Provincial organization. There they select from among their number a board of eleven men, known as the Board of Directors. Again, if desired, this election is by ballot. This Board corresponds to the cabinet in Government. They have a one year term of office. To ask, as the protest meeting is apparently suggesting, that a vote ;be taken over whether or not to continue with compulsory direction, would be the same as suggesting that the cabinet call a vote of the people every time they proposed a new bit of legislature. It, just isn't done, nor is it necessary. After all, we doubt very much if the pro- ducers as a whole would cond'one an expense of an estimated 25 percent of the cost of a pro- vincial election, just to get the answer to this quesion. The time to make changes will be at the annual meeting of the Hog Producers As- sociations' in the individual counties.
