For St. Marys Marys, Pennsylvania, This is a flag with meaning. If St Marys, Ontario could send back to St. Marys, Pensylvania an Ontario flag,. complete with trillium. and Other insig, ni%. -the gift giving would be complete. We are in complete favour with this type of thing. $ymbolisin of flags is time-honoured and they make a brave Show of colour as well. When St. Marys band comes here in September we're going to look for this state flag, But Clinton band .has. no. call to carry, the flag of the United States of America. As 'far as we know the only reason they-do carry it,. is because they got a bargain, by buying three flags: the Union Jack, the 'Canadian Ensign and the Stars and Stripes. Why not two ensigns? If price were the factor -- involved, then this would be the wiser buy, and with three flag-bearers, a more balanced appearance would be achieved. The only other local Stars and, .Stripes- we know of, is one that flies With four (Union Jacks and ensigns) at the local motel. Though we don't favour this,, either, the motel has infinitely more reason to fly the Stars and Stripes than the band has to carry it. Without doubt a number of people from the , United States have stayed at the motel,.../ No doubt others will be welcomed in the future. If we owned the motel we would not fly an American flag, hut' if the owners feel they want to do so, then one may be condoned. But Clinton band has never travelled into the United States. It has not com- peted in any contests with United States bands. The U.S.A. has not seen fit to present the band with the Stars and Stripes. • Ours is a good band, and 'a Cana- dian' one, and should be prepared to. carry Canadian flags', only. Pape. Auigust.10, 1907 .„. ditOrialS • Some Reason CLINTON.$ concert and marching band is a credit to the community and deserves all of the commendation it has been receiving... The men who make this their special project in the community are making the name of Clinton. known in a worthy way, and .the young people who devote their' time to the band, do SO with the gpod.'•of their town at heart, as well as their_ own enjoyment. We say this with the intention of clarifying our opinion of this particular. segment of. the activities in. town. We like the band: The music is good. The drill is good. The costumes are lovely. Flowever, we have one complaint. This W./0.".S voiced earlier in the summer' by letter writers, and we agree with them wholeheartedly. Only the , fact that the band was beginning a new sea, son made us. hold back from stating our support of this complaint in these columns- then. We (Wet to see 'Clinton band ' carrying the Stars and Stripes.' Again let us Make it clear that, we have ...nothing against the Stars and Stripes. It is. a lovely flag, and looks ivenderful againit a, blue sky, or a cloudy one.' It Means many things to millions Of people. To many Canadians it is a symbol of friendship with one of the most friendly nations in the world, and a neighbour for which all of us. can bp grateful. But the Stars and StripeS have no buSiness in the hands of the Clinton band's colour party. The St. Marys Marching Band is carrying an American, flag these days. It is the official flag of the State of Pennsylvania. Permission for giving St. Marys band.. this flag was granted by the governor of Pennsylvania. It was presented in a recognition of good Will created while the St. Marys band visited Schoo THE TITLE of this particular piece carries a pun which in many cases is a true description of the way young people feel when they first enter school. At the primary level, nursery school and kindergarten help to blaze the trail to understanding, and young- sters soon get over the feeling of shy- ness away from home and mother. Secondary school is another matter. From a static existence, where children go into the same room every morning for all 200 days of the school year, and move to another room only at the direc- tion of a teacher whose job is in large degree the task of teaching a classroom of youngsters how to take orders en masse — young 'teen-agers, go into a large school of 25 or more rooms, and are expected to find-out in short order how to arrive at the various .classrooms they are assigned by a fairly complicat- ed time table. • This is not particularly difficult to youngsters who have been given oppor- tunity to fend for themselves to some degree, but for, those who are entering a complicated .day for the first time, it can be quite confusing. Within a short time they are introduced to 30 new classmates, as many teachers, and an entire new course of study. They learn that for one period at least in the day, they can make up their own minds about the subjects they want to study, or the hobby they want to excel in. They have, a host of new associations and a , great number of new problems. Alog with all of these are the pres- sures which in recent years have come down from the college level to the col- legiate level. They must study hard. They must make good grades. They must prove they are as good or better than young people in other countries. They must stand well up in class, or they will have absolutely no chance to get into college. College continues to be the goal for which studious young people aim. Many haVe the desire. Few will make the grade. This may not ISN'T 'IT TRUE that when business is good everyone is busy? The more business we have the busier we are, so Business mean "Busy- ness". It's goOd to be busy because when we are busy -we are Making a contribu- tion to good business. In Short I FORGET who it was that, recom- mended meh for their soul's good to do each day two things they dislike . . it is a precept that I have followed scrupulously; Or every day I have got up and I have gone to bed. — William Somerset 1VIaugharn. THE CLINTON NEW ERA . Est. 1865 I A 1 Daze even mean that they are .not college material. It may mean that there are just more people wanting to go to col- lege, there is not room for all, and only the best students can be accepted there. This is a terrific amount of pres- sure upon any young person. . They need encouragement of par- ents, friends, and of the community. 'Teen-agers as such are not "bad". They are not lazy. They are ,not careless. 'Teen-agers hold the future of Canada in their minds and in their healthy bodies. If we are to prosper in a cultural fashion. If we are to benefit by the best that is in these- young people, it behooves us to encourage them both at the start of primary school; and with their indoctrination into secondary school, where "daze" may be the better description for some of them. We must be ready to encourage rather than to scold, to help rather than to find fault. Remember your own insecurities when you were a 'teen. Remember those days when you just hated to go back to CDCI or GDCI or SDHS or whatever it was, and face "that teacher" who had it in for you. Remember those days and sympathize with the young fry. They have another whole school year of problems-and trials. Let's show them we're with them all the way. Later It doesn't seem so long since we were seeding And now today we're harvesting the grain. Very soon we'll go and pick the apples, Then it will be snow-time once again. Old Mother Earth just keeps on with her turning, The years go by as quick as you can wink, So don't put too much off until to- morrow. It seems it's always later than we think. G.F.H. The busier we are the more effic- ient we become in the job we have to do. Busy people are usually happy people, because there is a• satisfaction about being kept busy. Then too, no depressed feelings about the future can develop when we are busy. More business leads to happy rela- tions with suppliers and can also lead to expansion of facilities and equipment. If it is true, and I think is is, that more business leads to a more efficient operation, then this results in better service as well as improved products. Let's stop asking people, 'E l-low is Business?" and start asking "How Busy are you?" Yes—Business Means "Busyness!"
