The saddest are:
‘It might have been’.
Of all the words

Are those commanding:
‘Please remit’.
Of all the words

Are the virtuously uttered
‘I told you so’.
Of all the words
That break the golden rule
Are these: ‘Willie,
You stay after school'.
Of all the words
That make me stew
Are those on a bill

Of all the words
That make us glad
Is hearing our youngster say:
‘I want my Dad.’
Of all the words

It’s when wifie says:
‘I’m going home to Mother’.

Success is speaking words of
praise,
In cheering other people’s ways,
In doing just the best we can
With every task and every plan.
’It’s silence when your speech would
hurt,
Politeness when your neighbor’s
cut;
It’s deafness when the scandal
flows
And sympathy with other’s woes;
It’s loyalty when duty calls,
It’s 'courage when disaster falls,
It’s patience when the hours are
long,
found in laughter and in song;
in the silent time of prayer,
It’s

In happiness and in despair,
In all of life, and nothing less,
We find the thing we call success.

While the North .Star lights the way of the brave, the. . . fame of
the Jervis Bay, an armed merchant cruiser of the British navy,
must shine with growing splendour. Convoying a merchant trans
port of thirty-nine vessels, this gallant cruiser sighted a German
pocket battleship bent on sending every ship under escort to the
bottom. Knowing from the first that it was a suicide encounter,
the gallant Jervis Bay gave battle to the raider with every ounce
that was in her, having first signalled the transport to scatter and
to hide in smoke.and darkness. Her decks were raked clean in the
encounter, her thin sides were riddled by the shells of the enemy but
still she fought on. Her machinery was dislocated, the salt sea hiss
ed among her fires but still her guns roared and pounded the enemy,
till finally twenty-nine of the ships she escorted were in safety. •

IMPROVE THE OCCASION
This is good word that Britain is willing to accept our farm
produce on an unprecedented scale. Condensed milk, cheese. Wilt
shire sides, in fact about everything we can produce in field and
garden and byre are in active demand. In view of this demand
two things are required of the Canadian farm. The first is that the
produce be forthcoming and forthcoming at once. War emergencies’
call for immediate action. The second requirement is equally im
portant, .namely that the article produced be of the quality required.
What Canada has secured is the blessed privilege of showing what
she can do. (She has been told of a need and of 'Britain’s willing
ness to accept her effort to meet that need. It is up to every far
mer and packing concern and shipper and cheese maker and fruit
giower to get down to business forthwith, with an eye to quality
as well as quantity. Britain is doing a first class job in the war.
Shes equally keen in her business deals. She knows the second
rate article when she -sees it, as Canadians have found out before
this. Half measures, and bluff will not do. (Britain’s buyers and
inspectors and consumers are the keenest in the world. Which way

JAMES ST. MISSION BAND
SCRAPPING THE BRITISH NORTH AMERICA ACT
Has the British North America Act served its day and should
cease to be? That’s what a whole lot of people have beenit ,--- -----~ »»**.»*v wl ul iRJupiu uetve ueeuthinking and now their thought is being turned into action.
• e, P0*11** uP°n which we are all agreed is that this Dominion
is ridiculously overgoverned. We have ever so many fifth wheels
to our public business wagon. Some tell us that the county council
is one of those unnecessary wheels. Even a larger number of people
are asking why keep up the provincial governments, while still
others think we have far too many provinces in the Dominion. All
are agreed that we have dozens of men in the provincial govern
ments and in the Dominion parliament who do not earn their salt.
They are of the cuckoo clock variety who never strike the hour
unless someone winds them up. Meanwhile they draw big salaries
SHUP 'their. 0Wu affairs. They fail to function till they pay
thiough the nose by greasing the party machine.
. Further, some of the provinces have elected parliaments who
have got them hopelessly into debt. Meanwhile there are the bond
holders of those provinces who see empty pocketbooks if the pro
vinces pay their bonded indebtedness on the principle “We pro
mised you so much interest. Here is what we’ll pay you. Take it
or leave it, or go to Jericho.” iSo there is a fuss on to have the
people who have scrimped along on the principle of -pay as you go
dip into their savings and pay those who did not sow in spring
time, toil in harvest or garner in autumn and who are now threat
ened with starvation now that their financial thermometer is be*ened with starvation now that their financial thermometer is
low zero and still sinking.
Much of this proposed, legislation looks like healing
wounds of the country superficially. Take what form it may,
government of the country will, not be more efficient than
business sense of its citizens. The root of the whole matter __
right there. The present suggestions for the care of public debts
are based on the principle of robbing Peter to pay Paul. The men
who accumulated those staggering debts will be the very men who
will form the new central government, the country forgetting that
the man who is stupid in small things will have his stupidity made
more manifest in larger things. Before entering upon another part
nership, this country will do well to have each party to the new
arrangement clean its slate, financial and otherwise. Further,
these parties are in honour bound to reread the British North
America Act and to make an honest effort to carry out its provi
sions, to get rid of the barnacles that have hindered the progress of
the state and to clean house generally. No system of government
works well unless it is well worked and that is the trouble with
Canadians and the British North America Act.
