as they should, to improve the aa-
demie training,
Hearty congratulations to the
•; students and teachers of the graduate
ing class of SHDHS on the excellent
" results achieved fti this year's upper
school exams.
It's obvious from the record — a
92% pass mark that the graduates
• worked hard at their studies and that
the teachers did well in guiding them
towards successful completion of sec-
• ondary school education.
Special mention must be made of
the achievement of Voldemars Gulens,
1 Dashwood, who set a new school re-
cord by 'winning nine first class honors
in nine subjects. His accomplishment
is particularly gratifying in. view of
the struggle his New Canadian parents
faced in their determination to give
their children the education provided
by a free nation.
The record of this student will
Serve as an admirable example for
Canadian youth, many of whom do not
• appreciate the opportunity at their
wasp.
The academic success of the class
is indeed. a tribute to the school, the
..; principal and the teachers because it
shows that an excellent balance has
been maintained between curricular
and extra -curricular activities. During
the many times when the school hits
the headlines for its achievements in
sport, music, public speaking and
sirnilar activities.it may seem that the
fundamental objective, education, is
e being relegated to a secondary .posi-
. tion. The upper school results of re-
cent years prove this impression false.
In fact, it would appear that these

September 3, subscriptions to this
newspaper will be 84.00 per year in
Canada, $5.00 in the United States.

neighbour, who happens to be
plumber, suggested the other clay that
some of this fine weather should be
bottled and preserved for^ use in colder
months. We didn't have much time to
discuss it with him but the ,idea has
haunted us since, It has possibilities.
We presume that weather is easy
to handle and that women could do
the preserving. With the advent of
assembly -line canning and freezing
processes, housewives no longer nave
to spend the time they once did pre-
serving foods so their energies Could
be devoted to this new project with-
out much adjustment. Since, too, the
preserving cellar is not nearly as
stocked as it once was, there should
be ample room to store bottles of
summer weather,
The thought of enjoying some
pleasant July sun on a blustery Janu-
ary day is overwhelming. The social
implications are intriguing. We -might
get invited, for example, to our neigh-
bour's for a draught , of - jun?. We
would reciprocate a week later by
opening up a bottle of July. Someone
upthe street might throw a party on
j
a eg of August.
Consider what might happen 'if
this scheme was developed on a com-
munity scale. For diversity during the
Christmas holidays, Grand Bend could
present a hot day at the beach, coupl-
ed no doubt with a bathing beauty
contest to elect a "Miss New Year".
The local golf club might have a
January tournament and, naturally,
smile conununity would arrange to
have a nice spring day to encourage
the spirit of St. Valentine in February.
We're thinking up many - mora.
grandiose schemes. In the meantirne,
we trust our plumber friend is work-
ing on the minor technical difficulties
involved.
Rising costs in newsprint, metal,
and all other materials which go
• into the production of this newspaper,
• however, have forced us to take action.
We had two alternatives—to produce
an inferior product in order that we
might maintain the present price or
. to raise the price so that we could
continue to give this community a
I newspaper of which it could be proud.
We chose the latter course because
we fejt our readers would want tis to.
• The last increase in the price df
this newspaper came in 1952. We are

While -we do regret the increase,
we hasten to remind our readers that
they may save many, Many times the
cost of the newspaper—even at its new

Could it be that Ontario Attorney
General Kelso Roberts is sensitive to
criticism?
Mr. Roberts appeared irked last
week when Huron County Magistrate
Dudley Holmes criticized the use of
unmarked police cars by the provincial
•police. "I'll thank that*magistrate to
keep sueli views to himself and deal
with them through the proper chan-
nels," Mr. Roberts is quoted as say-
ing.
We find Mr. Roberts' outburst
amusing. The attorney general during
the past two years has played a pro-
minent publicity role in directing the
OPP's campaign for safer travel on
the highway. While we .must adrnit
that such a campaign is necessary and
praiseworthy we often wondered if
Mr. Roberts wasn't using it, and the
publicity it received, to further his
own political name as well.
After basking in a favorable lime-
light for so long, Mr. Roberts ap-
parently feels that hie department
should receive nothing but praise. He
certainly indicated he didn't like
Magistrate Holmes'. criticism. He went
further than that: he told the cadi,
in effect, to shut up in public when he
disagrees with the 'actions of the police
department.
• We happen to be one of the many
people who don't appreciate politicians
telling anyone te shut up, particularly
a person like Magistrate Holmes who
can be refreshingly outspoken.
Admittedly, we know little about
the "proper channels,' to which Mr.
Roberts refers. We suspect, however,
they include some of those political
pigeon holes where party complaints
become lodged and forgotten.
We like to hear IVI a g is tr a. t
. Holmes' criticisms

Devotees of Norman Vincent
Peale, p.D. will welcome his
latest book:
Stay Alive All Your Life
which follows his popular and.
world-renowned "The Power of
Positive Thinking. ,
Norman Vincent Peale is min-
ster of the Marble Collegiate
church in New York city -where
he preaches to 4,000 people eve-
ry Sunday. Through his best-sel-
ling books, newspaper and ma-
gazine atticles and radio and
TV programs he has become
American's "Minister to Mil
•lions" His sermons are mailed.
around the world. "Stay Alive All
• Your Life" was written in Swit-
zerland. -
The emphasis in this book is
on faith and Dr. Peale shows
in example after example drawn
from life, how the magic of this
attitude .can perform miracles in
your daily experience. He proves
that only with deep and honest
belief, in yourself, in your work,
and in God can these miracles
oceur. He demonstrates that po-
sitive action supported strongly
by belief cannot ever lose the
Battle of Life.
In the introduction a his book
Dr. Peale writes the purpose of
the book is to "help you enjoy A
more satisfying life." This vol-
ume goes further than my previ-
ous book, The Power of Positive
,Thinking, ,in emphasizing how to
achieve 'ell -being, vitality, en-
thtisiaam, and effeetiveriess in
life."

"You say the telephone is
• an extra partner? "
Yes! — the telephone IS a partner in that card,
party a helpful "partner" which brought every-
one together! Without telephones arranging such
simple social gatherings would take endless time
and effort. •
As Canadians, most of us ten cl;tO take such
laYig-
acceptecl uses of the telephone pretty ntuCh for
granted. Yet, when you consider the countless
ways in'which the telephone makes YOUR daily
life more pleasant, you may. welt agree that Ws'
extra "partite" gives far more in termsof eonveniente
and security than the little it costs.
