Class MA Post Office Department "'EDITORIAL" A little thought was born to-day From whence it came .we cannot say; We send it to you anyway, "Look up!" You'll see the stars that way T w ECHO'S ECHO In last eveek's paper we published a letter written to the editor by one of our valued readers, who disagreed with the sentiments expressed in the article 'Your Echo" on October 31st. In reply we wish to point out that there is noth- ing personal in that article. It merely discussed a few trivial incidents which occurred during a busy deeds activities. The examples noted were conspic- uous because they were exceptional. We do not know any of the boys or girls in any' way that we wrote *bout in that article. The pert re- marks 'would have passed unnoticed except for the impertinent way in which they were given, It is common. knowledge that it is not so much what you say, as how you say it that counts. Every day we talk to a number of boys and girls who are well-mannered, polite, and lovely, normal children in every way. Without conscious thought, we think of them as echoes of their parents. It is the unusual that a writer must write about to attract the reading public, and so we wrote about two little lads, who were exceptions to the general rule. We still contend that little children of pre-school age are only subject to relatively negligible outside influences: Most parents keep .children of such tender years nuder reasonable parental control and fairly close to home. It is in later years that outside influences have by far their greatest effects, both good and bad, The remarks of the two little lads were given in such a casual, flippant manner that we Mid only conjecture they Must be of constant usage, They Must have Used. them unchecked home, SO in all probability they learn- ed them, there. Being too young for much outside influence to affect them, we assumed that we heard parental echoes, The word "just" should have been de- leted from out- concluding sentence, for, undoubtedly, sooner or later, outside influences do affect the lives of all Children and adults. However, in our article, we were only concerned with parental echoes, Our article was meant to point nut good as well as bad echoes, We most certainly were not criticizing the two dainty little girls, In fact we were, intrigued by them and thought them . very cute, loveable, and so very hum- an. Naturally the ill-fitting, high- heeled shoes made a clatter, but that only added a comical effect to the pretty picture, We concluded that the two charming little ladies were echoes Of their mothers, and lovely echoes, As to our veracity about being 'im- pertinent to our elders while a child, we very vividly remember that corpor— al punishment was a promised penalty for such misbehaviour, and that they may have acted as a deterrent. Also we wish to state that we have never shaken our head over the behavioar of the young generation, 1 We absolutely believe that human nature has not changed over the cen- turies,. and that each new generation only uses different ways of doing the same things as preceding ones, We most certainly believe that the young- er generation of today is as good as any preceding one, and that they will make as good adults citizens as this or any other generation. KNOW WINGFIAM Almost forgotten since the old foot- bridge disappeared, one of the best race tracks in Western Ontario lies dormant, awaiting resurrection, just south of the Maitland river. It is a fair- ly long stroll around there now, by way of the Hydro bridge, but it is well worth the effort. Why does a live, progressive town like Wingham allow such a fine asset, as this track undoubtedly is, to be lost?
