By that they probably meant that if a government is had, it's because the man in the street (for which road YOU and I) didn't have eaougW interest or energy or public spirit to do something about it, Right here in Wingham the saute can be said about' recreation, 'We get the kind we deserve. Vor the last couple of years we evidently haven't deserved very much in this line, judging from the amount this writer has seen in evidence, Whether we are to have more in the future, as a result of the new recreation council, depends again on , how deserving we are. We have an idea that recreation, like democracy, is the sort of thing that works better from the bottom up, rather than from the top down, In fact we doubt if it can be organized from the top down, properly, at all. We can hire a director at a fancy salary to help with our recrea- tional program. But the director alone can't bring forth a recreation program that is worth a pinch of cootie powder if the citizens (you and I, again) don't get behind and work too. 'With or without a director, a recreation program needs the help of the community to succeed. This is particularly true of the new recreational set up.

Mrs. Nimmd of Wingham, was the guest speaker at the Easter Thank- offering meeting of Knox Presbyter, ian W,M,S. Mrs. R, J. Scott, Or Wing- ham, and members of Blyth W.M.S. were also guests. The meeting was held in the church and was opened with prayer by Miss Agnes Mason. The president, Mrs. Mc- Burney, was leader and narrator in following the Easter Service as given in the Glad Tidings, with Mrs. Nichol- son, Mrs. Ken Scott,, Miss Mason and Mrs. 0. G. Anderson reading the the Scripture passages and Mrs. Art Scott leading in prayer. Mrs. Nimmo brought a thoughtful and inspiring message 'm Easter and what it means, stressing the import- ance of love, sacrifice and service in our lives as a result of our belief as Christians in the Crucifix and Re- surrection of our Lord. Miss Mason expressed appreciation and thanks to Mrs. Nimmo. A duet, "The Old Rugged Cross" was sung by Mrs. Ken Scott and Mrs. Art Scott. A short business period followed and the offering was received and dedicat- ed. The meeting closed with prayer in unison using Nunc Dimmitis from the Book of Praise. A social time followed when a tasty lunch was served by the committee with Mrs. Dunbar as convener. A warm invitation was extended to Knox W.M.S, by Miss Toll of Blyth, about it.

P., for East Huron was in town on Monday, con- ferring with a number of interested parties in the arranging of the new rural mail routes. The routes on the 10th of Turnberry and Turnberry-Cul- ross boundary was fixed up as was al- so the one near Behnore, and these routes will be started as soon as pos- sible. Speaking of postal matters we would advise that whoever was re- sponsible for placing the letter boxes One of the reasons, perhaps, is the change in the 0-0-0 status of the motor car. In the old days, believe it or not, a lot of people bought motor cars for the pleasure they gave, and because they liked to drive. Of course there wa.salbit of a novelty in driving the latest Super Six at ttremendous speeds up to fifty miles an hour. But there 7:Was ,also the idea that a man with a car was free and able to go whither he pleased, released from the timetables of • urban electrics and week-end specials. Furthermore he' could go directly to any spot he chose, without having to hike the last five miles from town. It was probably this train of thought, multiplied several million times, that :made Henry Ford a millionaire. 3,274awadays most people regard an automobile as the -shortest distance between two points. They buy a car be- cause they need it in their business, or because they have to commute hack and forth from work, or because the train or bus service is so erratic. Fun has nothing to do with it. -Most of the vehicles on the road today are highly func- tional—and are occupied by people whose sole interest in -the whole thing is to get from one place to another. Even -the week-end drivers—the pleasure drivers, if you could call them that—are grimly intent on making the 200-mile dash to the cottage up North in as short a time as pos- • Bible.
