We most heartily welcome them, and all others who pre- ceded them or will follow them, into our hearts, homes and life. They are a very welcome transfusion into our life stream of new beauty, new charms, new methods, and differ- ent ways of life, which, will enrich use all. All honour to those brave girls, for most of them are very young, who have left their native lands, their well- remembered homes, their parents, rela- tives, friends, and youthful compan- ions; and. all the well-known, much loved, dear, familiar places, buildings, animate and inanimate objects, and scenes. They have come to this strange land of unfamiliar faces and scenes; where people and their way of life, buildings and their furnishings, and almost ev- erything else, are different and a bit incomprehensible at times. They have cast their lot with us. Let us help them through the soul-trying, exceed- ingly difficult, familiarization, natural- ization, acclimatization, change-over period. They will need our friendliest assistance as they learn to love every- thing Canadian. None of us should ever forget the fact that this is a new country. Few of us are more than one, two, or three generations removed from the home- lands of Europe. We don't think of our parents, grandparents, or great- grandparents, who migrated here, as foreigners. Therefore, we must re- member well, that these lovely war brides are not foreigners either, • They are our kith and kin from across that rapidly shrinking Atlantic ocean, who have joined their lives and fortunes with us by becoming Canad- ians. We are proud of them. * * WORLD UNREST The past week was made a gloomy one by continued labour troubles and strikes here in Canada; by assinine bickering* over the so-called peace table in Furies and by continued 000 rest, strifes and bloodshed in India, Palestine, China, Greece and Yego- Slavie, Is this the Peace we fought for from 1989 tis 194.5? What can we do to bring real peace on earth? Nations are only tremendous groups individuals. If each individual will live by the golden role, "DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE 'OTHERS DO UNTO YOU", there will be no more trouble between in- dividuals or nations. Let us put• our own lives in order anyway. * * . • •IVIONTGrOMERY OR ALAMEIN' A pleasant feature of recent days has been the visit in Canada of Field Marshal. Viscount Montgomery of Ala- mein, We `hail him as a great military leader, ,and we welcome him most heartily to our -country. • He is a brave, ehristian gentleman, and it is refreshing and re assuring to find a world hero, who sloes not drink liquor or smoke, and who reads the bible daily. We• salute this really great man, PARLIAMENT PROROGUED .• In the political arena the mimic war- fare between partieS has subsided, since the Federal Parliament at Ottawa pro- rogued, A, large budget deficit and' continuing high taxes, remind us very painfully that we still have to pay for a war, which we hope we won, Now that our Prime Minister, the Right Honourable W. L. MacKenzie King, has returned to Canada from the Peace Conference in Paris, we wel- come him back, and look for. him to use his undoubtedly great talents in checking rising prices, and stopping' labour unrest and strikes * WEEKLY THOUGHT Remember to "SMILE", You will never hive to apologize for smiling, my friend. A SMILE is a blessing drop- ped on the sea of life, and its cheering ripples spread far beyond our own little horizons. Forget to "FROWN", You may have to explain why you are frowning,' my friend. A FROWN is a curse, like an under-sea earthquake, causing a tid- al wave of gloom to spread over and depress all with whom it comes in con- tact. , * * HARVEST NOTES The unseasonably cool weather of August finally warmed up a little last week, but remained• dry, with the ex- ception of a few scattered Showers. Corn, root crops, pastures, and gar- dens suffered set backs in recent weeks due to the coldness and dryness. Slight early frosts did some damage in a few places. Harvesting of the grain crops was in full swing, and many farmers report a bountiful yield, The weather was very favorable for harvesting in general, and for stook threshing in' particular. Prospects are favourable for a good apple crop this Year,' which will' be a boon to many housewives, Truly Pro. videnee has been good to us. .1t. STREET SIGNS. Winglient.is growing up! The new street signs appearing et Street corners should be a .source of pride and cons venience to all townspeople and tors. Metal posts - would have been better, but were unobtainable, we un- derstand, A vote of thanks is slue our progress sive town council for at last giving Its this long-needed improvement. House numbers would be a further conven- ience in locating residences, we believe. How about that Mr, Mayor and. Town Councillors' • * SIDEWALKS ' Raising the sidewalk on the north side of Paerick.street, between Edward and Josephine streets, is a commend- able improvement also. That is a good start; but there is much similar work that needs attention as soon as possible and feasible, There are many places where the sidewalks need raising or repairing. * 4. * AMUSEMENTS The Town Park has been the "Mecca" for increasingly large crowds this summer. The frequent evening sport's event, usually a ball game, has proved very popular, Play and play- ers, on the whole, have been of a crowd pleasing calibre. • The improved playing field and bet-. ter seating accommodation have paid fine dividends. A good sporting town is a healthy, attractive, pleasant place to live. More and better athletic gam- es for more participants, and better ac- commodation for spectators, is a laud- able civic objective in any progressive town. Large, enthusiastic crowds in town last week on Labor Day and en Wed- nesday evening, .certainly enjoyed the athletic events and other attractions: "Hats off" to our Lions ,Club, for such a splendid programme. * * WARNING TO .PARENTS. Do not let your children play on the streets. Several small boys chased each 'other across Patrick street one day last week. Only the skill and care of an alert motorist averted a serious accident or fatality. It is better to be strict than to pay hospital or funeral expenses. * * x.
