There is no word of large increases in thse lines, but nearly every one who has anything ,to sell that appeals to the public taste has a good word. Dad is workng full time in a great many instances. The list of those asking for relief is steadily shinking. Now’s the time for steadiness and progress. (Bad times were ushered in partly through lack of confidence and -bad management. They are being driven out by courage and sound sense. The dawn of the better day is here. Let us keep it shining , ■ «••*••« • A whole lot of sympathy is wasted these days on the way pris oners are treated in our penetentaries. The whole problem would be solved if folk would obey the ten commandments. When a man intentionally runs contrary to these commandments he should take what’s coming to him without any whimpering. Prisoners are sent to confinement because they are the enemies of society, not that they may be pampered but punished and otherwise fitted to keep away from offences against society. The man who is sentence ed to jail is an offender, who, ususally, will not go straight. He assumes that the morality that is good enough for other people is no concern of his. • ••••••* PATIENCE Let us not allow ourselves to become nerve-frazzled just be cause the Economic Conference being held in London England is not getting all done at once that some of us hoped for. It takes quite awhile to build a barn or a private business. What, then, must be the magnitude of the job of building up a broken world and establishing a satisfactory business basis for the whole race? We may rest assured what the best minds of the world can do for the healing of the economic distress will be done and done as quickly at the intricacy of the situation will permit. The remedies that most of us are likely to suggest simply would not meet the situation. • • •«•••• NOT SUFFICIENT Word comes to us of a Flint youth of seventeen who deliberately ‘killed his .mother. It seems that this beauty had been indulged by his mother to the point where he lost respect for her and all control of himself. The result to be looked for in such an instance follow- ad. Mother love never should ibe confused with indulgence. There is no love apart from justice. Love that does not guard its rights and its sense of duty and its honor is a dangerous thing. Parental feeling that runs wild as it does in for too many cases is a most ex ecrable emotion. The youth who is not controlled soon loses all self control, and when self control is removed anything bad is likely to follow. We do not like to judge other people but this poor mother invited her own destruction. Many a man who occupies the high places of the world thanks the mother who loved him enough to see that he walked chalk, that he was not allowed to purse his lips and stamp and run into tantrums, but who insisted that he do as he was told, .that he be respectful of those in lawful authority and that he fill a boy’s place and fill it cheerfully and promptly. •’****•• • A BAD MESS This recent thing of allowing persons, who. had nO business there with access to departmental examination papers is a disgraceful mess to all concerned therewith. To begin with the parties al lowing papers to be prepared for the examination fell down hope lessly and disgracefully. Those papers should not have been allow ed out of the proper hands for their guarding. (Someone did a ser ious blunder in allowing the papers to get abroad* For there are parties who can be trusted to1 do this Very thing. These parties are known. Why were these trustworthy parties not patronized? Why allow the care of the papers to get into improper hands? Then What of the High Schools or Collegiate Institutes or other schools that breed students who would sell their miserable souls to do a deed so utterly contemptible as to buy or to secre in any way exam ination papers that are desighed to show their fitness for certain phases of life’s duty and responsibility? The pupil who falls so low aS these pupils fell shows a lack of a sense of homour that is deplor able and gives the poorest promise of being trustworthy. Then What is tu be said of teachers who have had the training of such pupils? 'Where has been their moral influence? And last, and most important of all, what about the homes and the communities whence this hateful thing has come? The whole situation cries to heaven with immorality. Surely the matter will not be lightly treated! Surely the sob-sister-inrtroiisers will not get in its poisonous work and prevert the ends of justice In an affair so vital for the youth of tills province. Be it known, that there is a crying need for revision of the whole system of departmental examinations. But of that more at some future date.

A daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, pioneers of McGillivray Town ship, she was born in Yorkshire, on June 28, 1838, and came with her parents to Canada in 1843, arriving at Quebec, and journeying by boat to ‘Little Rock’ near Toronto'. Recalling the ocean voyage of eight weeks, Mrs. Pickerings tells of the scarcity of provisions and the serving of salt bis cuits, which, were not relished by the children on board. For a short time the Smith family resided in Scarboro, but later moved to a farm near Markham, where they remained for seven years. Mrs. Pick ering’s mother, educated in the old land, taught sewing and knitting in her home, and girls, who paid a small tuition fee, came from .many piles around. . About 1853, when Mrs. Pickering was 1'5 years old, the family loaded their possessions into a sleigh and started out on the long journey to McGillivray Township. On Saturday night they arrived and were astonish ed at the backward condition of the township, not realizing that this was one of the new townships of Ontario. Exciting Expei'ience Mrs. Pickering recalls graphically an exciting experience of her girlhood days. Returning from shopping in Clandeboye, seven miles distant, she was crossing the Aux Sable RiveT on a log, when she heard a roar. Con cluding that there were hogs in the vicinity, she walked on, but sudden ly she heard a second roar, and a huge bear rushed by her. Shouting of men and boys' were heard in the distance, and finally a shot from Bisbee, the Brinsley storekeeper, brought the animal to the ground. ■On November 9, T857, Mrs. Pick ering, formerly Miss Sarah Smith was married to John Pickering, who died a few years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Cook were married the same day and a doiuble wedding was held. Members of the Cook family visited Mrs. Pick ering recently. Mr. and Mrs. Pickering resided for many years on concession four, Mc Gillivray Township. Member of a family of 11 children. Mrs. Pickering is the eldest of the four surviving. Richard Smith, 86 of Sa'ult Ste. Marie, Mich., and William Smith, of Crediton, are brothers. Mrs. Macfie, of Mount Carmel, is1 a sister.
