Elmira Boy's Narrow Escape
Donald Feil, of Elmira, a 14-year-
old school boy, narrowly escaped the
loss of his sight. He was examining
a revolver upstairs after school when
he shot himself in the eye, the bullet
missing the eye ball and penetrating
the. head just below the eyebrow. The
bullet went in as -far as one-half inch
from the brain cell. In Toronto, a
specialist removed the bullet. It is
believed that if no complication sets
in, the sight of the eye will be saved,

FARM AID
It was stated in the Ontario Legis-
lature last week that the coming sum-
mer will see the most serious lab&
crisis with which the Ontario farmers
have ever been faced. The farmers of
Ontario have done a splendid job of
production; but they have peak times
in their business when in most cases
it is imperative that extra help be
used, to harvest the crop. The call
has gone out to high school students
to enroll for duty at Farm Service
Camps or for employment on individ-
ual farms. One cannot stress this
urgency too greatly and it would be
a very fine patriotic act for students
to enlist for this service. There are
many others who _could give some
time to. aid the farmers and they
should this year, plan to do so if at
all possible. Now is the time to make
WORLD SECURITY
This bloody war has emphasized
once again that if we are to be free'
of war in the future, we must have
some kind of an organization\ that can
protect nations against aggression. A
step in this direction is being taken
at the forthcoming San Francisco
World Security Conference. There
are many who would sabotage this
conference. These people apparently
have the opinion that they can live
unto themselves and let the rest of
the world go by. With the develop-
ment '''c)f the ships that fly through the
air, jet propelled instruments of war,
long range submarines and many other
factors which have been developed
during the past: few years, we do not
think it takes much thought to know,
that one nation prepared to strike in
the future may well destroy its neigh-
bors if they were not protected by
World Security. This is just a selfish
attitude. There is the moral factor
as well, and we believe it should be
a very strong factor in setting up, a
plan so that wars will be no more.
We have had submarines operating in
the St. Lawrence and all along ,our
Atlantic seaboard, 'Planes fly distances
unthought of a few years ago. Even
we, with 'a splendid geopraphical loca-
tion, are not immune from attack.
How much more vunerable are the
smaller nations of Europe and the so-
called weaker countries throughout
the world. It is imperative if civiliz-
ation is to survive that nations co-
operate for the protection of one an-
other.
