RECEIVED COINS AS SOUVENIRS Various Pieces Of Currency Received By Mrs. John Durnford Mrs. John Durnford (Joyce Edgar) has received a collection of various pieces of money from her, husband who is serving in Italy. These pieces include some of the paper type and also numerous coins. In the lot are coins of Algeria,. Italy and also some German pieces. The paper currency also included Italian and Algerian money as well as some occupation money. He also sent the following piece of poetry: It's tough when you dream of things at home, And your heart- goes flying back 'The' you live in a crowd, you feel alone, As you wait the word to attack, You slip hack first to the things that were, And then you figure ahead, Ignoring the present, it's best to defer The thought that you're already dead. Yon reach for a reason to clear up your view, To justify hardships arid care, When you think of the men who don't suffer like you, And wonder why you can't be there, Then as quick as a flash comes the answer to all, You wouldn't be anywhere else; Your mind will be free 'cause you answered the call, Ands the rest can !obis after theni- . selves. For you know every minute you live from this day, That you've fought for the things you thought right; " And the fellow who shirked, 'tho' he's drawing his pay, . Has in future his conscience to pay.

Whether you are glad or sorry that mankind ever hit upon this means of storing up knowledge, You will find the Royal Ontario Museum's exhibits of the earliest writings a fascinating study. 'Both the Mesopotamian and the Egyptian systems 'in the beginning were an attempt to record events and ideas through the use of standardized pictures, In Mesopotamia writing was done on soft clay with a wedge-shaped instrument. Through the centuries the picture forms evolved into system of wedge-shaped marks. In Egypt a corresponding change is seen in the brush writing on papyrus, although the pictographs to formulate charac- ters representing single sounds instead of syllables and whole words. Since both these countries also developed numerical systems—in Mesopotamia with units of 60, in Egypt with units of 10—we may truly say that they are responsigle for the pangs of reading, writing and 'rithmetic. It is thought, and thought alone, that divides right from wrong; it is thought,. and thought only, that ele- vates or degrades human deeds and desires.—George Moore. * k * Culture is then properly described not as having its origin in curiosity, but as having its origin in the love of perfection: It is a study of ,per- fection. -Matthew Arnold.
