Ill . a way it is unfortunate that these two drives conflict, for each is worthy of undivided attention. The fact that Easter is early this year has, of course, brought the two campaigns together. Most people in this community know what is done with the money collected through the sale of Easter seals. The funds so gathered are used to alleviate the sufferings of thousands of crippled youngsters throughout the pro- vince. Whenever there are deserving cases in otir own dis- trict the local service club is invited to retain a portion of the money collected to look after the work at home. The Ontario Society for Crippled Children goes even further, for if the funds provided by the people of our own commun- ity are not sufficient to look after expensive or extensive treatment, the Society will take on the whole burden. Not only does the Crippled Children'S Society see that money is available for this work. Equally important, it has the constant co-operation of the finest medical men in the country, who usually work for ifothng in the interests of the Society. We know of one child, in a nearby village, who was found to be in urgent need of a brain operation. Mr. E. J. Mitchell has taken over Through the co-operation of the service club in his corn_ the duties of office manager of the munity, and the help of the Crippled Children's Society, the little lad underwent an operation performed by Canada's foremost brain surgeon, normal charges for which would have been several thousand dollars. The only charge was for nursing services. In addition to medical treatment the Society maintains three super-modern summer camps where the unfortunate youngsters are given a chance not only to enjoy a holiday but to benefit from the latest type -of expert supervision and training. To deal with the work of the Red Cross : Here, indeed is an organization which is familiar to We, who have lived through the recent years of the war, need not be told of the gigantic tasks which the Red Cross has performed in the name of humanity. Not only in wartime, but wherever suffering humanity may be found . .. there you will find the Red Cross. Striding into the midst of barren misery, the. Red Cross workers are the first to bring physical comfort and spiritual hope to those who are in need—whether it be from fire or flood, famine or epidemic. A new phase of the activities of the Red Cross in this area, as far as we are concerned, or at least one which has been brought sharply to our attention, is the work done 'for the veteran-patients at Westminster Hospital, London. Thirteen hundred patients.'in .that hospital receive a gift from the Red Cross each week.. Volunteer drivers in Red Cross vehicles are always ready to drive a convalescent patient to his home, whether it be five miles or fifty. The selfless people who carry on these activities are ever ready to make life,a little more bearable for those boys who gave health and physical freedom for us: Perhaps it is well that these two campaigns do co-in- side, for by their joint appeal to our finer sensibilities they may the more forcibly remind us of the words of the Mas- ter; which point without equivocation to our duty to those less fortunate than ourselves. Are We Pampered by Our Governments? The Rural Co-operator has a word on a subject which we have always found interesting: the whole the level of public service given by provincial governments in Canada was higher than it had ever been. western provinces. We had happened to remark that on sive young man who happens to be premier of one of the "We were talking the other day to an alert, progres- "We felt that most provincial governments today are Believed to Be Anonymous Donor of $1,000,000 giving honest, efficient administration in marked contrast to the records of sonic provincial administrations 20 or 30 years ago. "We were thinking of days when public works graft was a common thing, and when the extra mural activities of government stenographers were written off in the cement and asphalt account, "The premier agreed that there had been a great im- provement, but he gave us a word of warning. "There is a great difference," he said, "between good government and el f-governmen t." Many governments today, he pointed out. were tempt- ed to pr0vi7de the public with services which they ought to be training the public. to provide for themselves. "When people are pampered by government they are apt to think the government a 'good' one, Actually it isn't, for if and when the pampering comes to an end the people are left helpless," The aim of .a really good government, he said, should be to encourage the people, through the creation of their own economic organizations, to solve their own problems and handle their own affairs,. - That's self-government„ and that's what we want." Ever sinCe the second of rebruary we have been won- dering whether or not the ground hog really did see his shadow. Apparently he didn't for if this weather persists you could easily talk us into thinking spring has come..

I recently read an article about the late F. Scott Fitzgerald—a genius who set fire to Ins own house (him- self). And when he had lost about all that a man could have to give him hope or• comfort, he was no friend even to himself, and so in full loneli- ness wrote a letter of encouragement to himself! If we can't make friends with our- selves, and remain a liveable you, things are indeed bad.. No friend on earth can be quite so valuable to any of us as the friend that we can be to our own, self. There must have been something of this isolation in that good Roman Emperor,. Marcus Aure- lius, for he wrote down thoughts to himself, with no idea of. their ever reaching other eyes.. Fortunately, however, they did and we have one of the rare treasures of literature and life in these casual notations, written over a long busy life.. Your very best friend is. yoUrselfl There is ItiW, moment' in, which you are not in-your. own presence. You should know yourself, better than any- one else on. earth. If you. can apprec- iate your own companionableness. you are indeed fortunate,, and, you. are as- sured of both a successfUL and a happy life.
