AND SPICE

WHEN IT’S Mother’s Day, the
1 papers are full of it. Wihen Valentine’s
Day rolls around, everything is hearts
and flowers with a definite leaning to
ward the feminine side of the ledger.
, On Sunday, it will be .Father’s Day
And we’ve’decided;to mention the fact
in our editorial column so that for once,
the menfolk can take a ibow and their
rightful place in a pro-female world.
No matter how women try — and
oh, ihow they try — to become the sole ,
designers of sail (human fate, men in, man again will ever quite fill dad’s spot
their quiet, definite manner remain the’ in a girl’s life.
- So hats off to the husbands and
fathers this June 18 who pay the bills
and maintain the peace in the millions
of households across the nation. Theirs
is a role demanding stability ... and
God alone knows that’s why men were
selected to be.fathers.
masters of the nation. Though women
race around with seeming vigor and
wisdom,'men are built and emotionally
equipped to handle the momentous de-
. cisions-which after all make any unit
—: family, business or government —
■ strong, dignified and influential.

Men are understanding, generally.
They have to be to live with and stay
with the modern woman. Men are also'
generous, unselfish, gentle and proud.,
On top of all this, men make won

their sons in the most mysterious ways, >
creating in their male offspring a genu

WE WERE particularly interested
in this. bit of philosophy concerning
newspapers Which appeared recently in
the Stratford Beacon-Herald. We think
' it sums up very nicely what every news
paper — large or small — is trying to
accomplish for the community it serves,

“To the teacher, -a homework

“To the mother, suggestions for
raising the youngsters.
“To the lonely diner, a companion;

“To the seller, it means quick re
sponse; to the buyer, many selections.
“To some, it brings good news;. to

“To friends and neighbours, it tells
about job promotions, school gradua

“To the voter, it- is ^guidance; to
the politician, friend or foe.
“To opinion searchers, it stimulates
thought. •
To front step sitters, it describes

“To the immigrant, it is a school

Beautiful June
JUNE is a month of long daylight'.
The mornings" come stiffly out of nights
with a touch of. chill. The insects are
sluggish until full sunlight comes.
Early risers catch visions of mists
in hollows, sparkling like jewelled webs.
The pigeons gossip m the eaves and birds
wait subdued for the signal of warmth.
The new leaves of the trees glisten with
dew, splintering when touched by a vag
rant breeze.
City gardeners are rewarded by
garden patches,) still neat and as yet
undisturbed, by invading weeds. Here,
before they catch the morning bus for
' the daily routine they may enjoy the
rewarding partnership of man and soil.
On such a morning a transplanted
countryman can remember the sounds
of cowbells tinkling on distant .pastures,
or overhear far away conversations
with startling clarity on the soft air.
He may eVen relive the chilling delight
of cold, damp, grass on bare feet and •
imagine he hears the collie excitedly
scouting the lair of his ancient summer
adversary, the groundhog.
Reluctantly going in for breakfast
he is touched on the cheeks by the
warming, sun, as iirt prepares for the task
of giving nature a firm help toward
summer growth. In that instant he will
have a bittersweet pang about the trea
sure of June meadows, and ^vor in im
agination the tantalizing/taste of Wild
strawberries. —The Montreal Star. ■ ■
PRICES, despite the visible easing
of inflationary pressures in recent
months, could rise by more than the
3% predicted by Finance Minister
Sharp.The rise might be 3.5% or 4% «
enough'to get inflation talk going again.
This is the summary of The Financial
Post’s special analysis of price trends
in Canada. .
Certainly, The Financial Post says,
new pressures on domestic prices are
likely to be felt in key areas. Construc
tion costs are likely to go on climbing
through 1967, house prices and rents are
rising fairly steadily^ as are appliances,
clothing and many other consumer
items.
Despite Finance Minister Sharps
removal of the 6% sales tax on produc
tion machinery, it is not likely that car
prices will drop for a While.
