wearying battle home throueh
traffic, or the draughty,
crushed, degrading scramble on
public transpertation.

Life is quite different for

home from work in minutes.
He surveys the ranch, says,
"must get those storm windows

gores in, to the goad fall midis
of cold drinks and hot food.
His wife saw him at break-
fast, again ,at lunch, has had a
good. natter with 'the dame next

hours, raking leaves' with the
kids. She ,dOesn't need him.
Instead of drifting off to the

that's all twee is to it.
While her city counterpart
squats in front of TV, gnawing
her nails and wondering why
she didn't marry 'good old
George, who -has a big dairy
farm now, the small-town gal
collects the kids and goes out
to burn leaves.
There Is nothing more 'roman-

spurt orange flame. White

Or perhaps the whole family
goes to a fowl supper. What,
in city. living, can compare to
this finest of rural functions?
A" crisp fall evening, a drive to
the church hall through a Hal-'

WHILE Hallowe'en is generally
considered a fun fest for the younger
set, older children and young adults
often get the urge to go Out and look
for a little.excitement on the tradition-
ally spooky night,
In some cases, their search for ad-
HALLOWE'EN is that magic,
mystical night of the year when even
grey-beards become young at heart.
Knocking at the door are ghostly or
fantastic figures, costumed, wearing
mother's high-heeled shoes, false •faces,
funny noses, and carrying the UNICEF
Hallowe'en collection box.
The traditional treats given the
youngsters are taken with gay abandon.
But to the fun has been added the joy
of sharing Canadian good fortune.
UNICEF (United Nations Chil-
dren's Fun) monies collected at Hallow-
e'en go to the International UNICEF
FOR A fire-safe Hallowe'en, give
youngsters a hazard inspection before
they, go out for their evening of fun.
Painful burns and even 'more tragic
accidents have occurred because chil-
dren carried -candle-lighted pumpkins
and wore flimsy costumes that were
easily ignited. •
To prevent such occurrences this
year, Hal Wright, Farm Safety Special,
ist, Ontario Department of Agriculture,
suggests these rules for a Hallowe'en of
tricks or treats, instead of tragedy.
1. Use a flashlight, never a candle,
venture gCts out, of hand. The innocent
Prank becomes a tragic mistake which
can bring terror to the heart of the
victim and remorse to the soul of the
Prankster.

budget. Funds are used to provide
food, finance welfare clinics, equip hos-
pitals and schools, fight the enemies of
helpless children — hunger, disease and
ignorance.
Halowe'en 'in Canada is not only a
night for fun and frolic but also an
occasion for sharing Canadian good
fortune with those who have so little.

(UNICEF) is the bearer of good 'tid-
ings, the dispenser of friendship, the

to light a pumpkin. Candles are haz-
ardous indoors, too.
2. Stay away from flimsy materials
for costumes. Wigs and masks are also
flammable.
3. If costumes are purchased, make
sure 'they are flameproofed, but even
heavy clothing and flameproofed cos-
tumes will burn to some extent.
4. Be sure the children understand
they must stay well back from bonfires,
burning leaves, and fireplaces,
5. Male sure that smaller children
are supervised.

Hallowe'en Safety Prevents Tragedy
"Homo Sapiens"
WITHIN fifty years the earth will
have a race of many called the Homo
Aquaticus, The Water Man, who will
be born, live and die entirely beneath
the sea. This is the opinion of Deep Sea
Explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau.
This may sound less far=fetched
when you realize that scientists of 'the
United States National Aernonautics
and Space Administration are at work
on an artificial gill which will allow the
user 'to regenerate his blood with oxy-
gen without breathing.
Here in Canada, scientists Dr. W.
F. Baldwin of Chalk River's Atomic.
Energy plant, is teaching female wasps
to reproduce without male help. This
method of cell division is being used
on small animals in other laboratories.
This generation, and the one to
come, must face a bewildering array of
social, political, and environmental
changes. It is commonplace to talk
about visiting the moon, and lateer the
planet Mars, but what have we to take
these distant planets besides the tech-
nique of bombing peasants hiding in
the jungle, obliterating entire nations
in one great blast, and other equally
pleasant aspects of our world's civiliza-
tion?
More study and effort must be ex-
pended on feeding the hungry, caring
for the poor and educating the illiterate,
before we are ready for the new world
which lies beyond our voice.
