I have been told that it is written in lang- uage that any school boy can under- stand, and though J have schooled myself to be wary of such assurances, at this stage I must accept the declar- ation a's reliable. I am also infornied that none of its phrasing is charge- able with a double meaning or inter- pretation, or in any way subject to argument. It lays down laws that must be obeyed, regula*rs that must be ob- served, it has a costume column, and prescribes the kind of habilaments that players must wear. It restricts those to sweater and pants. It pre- cludes kilts, and by so doing antag- onizes my better feelings as a Scot. Boots too of a uniform pattern must be worn by players. The fingers and hands of the pitch- ers must be in the nude with absolute- ly no decorations on them or first aid devices attached to them, not- withstanding doctors' orders. There must be some reason for the insertion of this rule. I dare not question the sagacity of the fabricators of it, I can only assume that my mind is too weak to perceive its necessity or its value. What advantage a finger of the pitchers acquires by being braced with a strip of adhesive tape, I cannot fathom. But of course I don't know everything. A game which was bril- liantly and worthily won by Wing- ham against Lucknow has to be re- played because the Wingham pitcher was wearing a draped finger. I have been tut-tutting ever since I learned of this woeful verdict. I am now very seriously questioning my own sanity and the inerrancy of those responsible for this incongruous rule.

Premier Doug-las' remarks are typical of socialists everywhere in their utter lack of practical common sense. * * * Value of Stability Is Not Appreciated A phenomenon of modern business is the current habit of "job-jumping," especially among younger people who have been earning their daily bread only a short time. Office Managers and Personnel Directors have become re- luctantly resigned to a steady turnover of their junior per- sonnel. There is a constant procession of new typists, new office boys, new junior clerks through the offices of corpor- ations large and small, What is it that moves a youthful employee to quit three weeks after starting a job? The reasons are not al- ways financial, Not all office workers quit to go to a posi- tion that offers more money. Sometimes it is shorter hours, sometimes to enjoy coffee-time twice a day, often it is for such a trivial thing as to be in the same office as a boy. friend or a girl friend. Whatever the excuse, the frequent resignations cause business houses a certain amount of dis- ruption,' Although no one is indispensable, the abrupt de- parture of a filing clerk who has just become useful throws an unfortunate burden upon the remainder of the staff un- til a suitable replacement can be found. _ Young men and women appear unconvinced of the value of the old-fashioned virtues of stability, They have yet to learn that it is to their advantage to acquire experi- ence and seniority with an employer, that it is foolish to leave without just cause, There are circumstances, of -course, where , a change is advisable. But, on the whole, a newcomer to business life can gain much by becoming a specialist, by sticking to one job until he or she is expert .at it, Not until the wisdom and experience that come only with time have been acquired, should the novice business Irian or woman look to broader fields, Mrs, Wilford is home on furlough' after seventeen years as a missionary in China, occupied the pulpit at St, Andrew's on Sunday morning. * C 1 FLFUOVN YEARS AGO On the eve of Miss .Caroline Weli- wood's return to China, the congrega- tion of the United Church presented eat no.cireas'anti a purse of money. .Mrs, Peter Gowans made the present, ation while the address was read by Dr, rt, C.

Barry W engvr, Eaitor One of our readers at Gorrie comenmts, "Alas„ poor old Ontario has become but a satelite of the great Pro- vince of Quebec in the eyes of our Vrench-speaking fellow- countrymen," Reason for his disgust becomes apparent when an enclosure in his letter is examined, ft is au envet. ope sent out from the Entine Canadienne Nationale and addressed to "Mr, So-and-So, Clotrie, Ontario, P.Q." This type of reasoning, for a man who has attained the distinction of the Western Premier is scarcely credible. It is a line of thought which was prevalent in the labor Gov- ernment in Britain between the two wars. It was the same attitude which permitted Germany to re-arm while the rest of the world uttered fancy phrases about the brotherhood of man and scrapped their defences. It‘ is the blindness which sent countless thousands in our own generation to death in the Second World War. The release of hatchery raised pheasants in the Huron District has been much heavier than in previous years. A total of 16,840 day old chicks chicks has been placed in brooder houses and about 7000 ten week old pheasant poults will be placed in re- lease pens this summer, In addition, nearly 480 yearling hens have been turned over to gun clubs for use as breeding stock. The distribution of these birds has been confined to Wentworth, Brant, Halton and Oxfoid Counties. Some are going to the Southern part of Wellington and Waterloo Counties and to the lake shore townships of Huron County. The use of day old pheasant chicks is of comparatively recent introduct- ion. This -was first tried in 1948 when more than 3000 chicks were placed in the Huron District with such satis- factory results that the number has been increased each year. The method of raising them is very much the same as that followed with domestic chickens. They are placed in heated brooder houses and fed a specially prepared starting mash or the ordinary turkey starter. A cover- ed in wire run is also provided for them. Pheasants mature much more quickly than domestic chickens and of the age of six weeks they are well able to look after themselves and are ready to be released. 'The brooder houses are located in what "is known to be good pheasant country and close to good cover. The birds are releas6d by merely opening the brooder house door, For a few days they usually stay around, then as they commence to look after themselves, they move further afield and furnish sport for the hunters in the Fall. The Method of releasing the ten week old poults is ninth more simple. These birds, on reaching their destin- ation, de placed in covered pens where they are fed and looked after for a few days, thCn released, Food and water are kept in the pen for them to return to but in a few days they are able to forage for themselves, So far 'the season has been very favourable for both natural and arti- ficially raised birds. Deliveries front the hatcheries started two weeks earl- ier' than in 1950 and a good hatch of native birds is also reported, broods of which were seen as early as May 80th. All in all it looks as though the 1951 pheasant shoot shotild be a good one with more birds for the hunters than in any ptevlous year, Hennng, Mr. and Mrs. Len Ilenning, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Henning and fam- ily, Mr. and Mrs, Clarence Henning and Mildred, Mr. and Mrs. Allan Me- Kercher, Glenn and Ruth, spent Mon- clay at Pt.
