To Celebrate or Not
every time there's a holiday or special celebration of
,s,olne sort, opinion around town seeius to be divided on the
question of whether we should have some kind of show or
not
(,)n one hand there is the school of thought that be-
}eves that the town should celebrate, in some fitting way,
every occasion worth celebrating. Mudville, Mechanics-
burg and Gopher Prairie are all celebrating National Pars-
rip Day with a band tattoo, a parade of floats, a monster
bingo and a thousand dollars' worth of firecrackers, they
say. If we don't go and do likewise everybody will say
Wingham's deader than a wet Sunday in Toronto.
On the other hand are the fellows who seem to be
'happy with the status quo. Shenanigans of that type
never get you anywhere, they say. Let the other towns
stick their necks out on fancy promotions. Good sound
merchandising in the stores will bring people to town just
as fast as any National Parsnip Day, and won't cost a pile
of money either.
While there is something to be said for both sides of
the argument, we are inclined to think that a few more
celebrations in Wingham would not come amiss.
In these days of easy automobile travel, people are
able to pick and choose their shopping centre, and Wing-.
bam isn't the only pebble on the beach. In fact there are
towns on all sides of Wingham which can and do offer
counter attractions. For a large number of people in the
district it's a toss-up whether they should come here or go
somewhere else, for their Saturday afternoon shopping.
Naturally we want to attract these people to Wing-
ham, and rightly or wrongly celebrations are considered
2. sound ,method of doing so. Taking a long range view,
there seems to be little doubt that people will come to
the town with the most activities, other things being equal.
A town that has the reputation for being "dead" socially
isn't usually too active as a business centre, either.
Quite apart from the monetary angle there is the
question of civic pride. People are proud of their town
because of its accomplishments. While a successful Na-
tional Parsnip Day may not be much of an accomplish-
ment by some standards, yet the people will be proud of
it and proud of the town if the thing is a success. If
nothing is attempted they'll shrug their shoulders and say
What can you expect from Wingham.
Anything that will make citizens proud of their town
is a good thin7 in our humble opinion. And if more cele-
brations will help, we're all for them.
Maybe Grandpa Was Right
During the past few years there has been a lot of soul-
searching, chiefly on the part of the various women's
magazines, on the question of bringing up children. And
with child psychology now rated as a science (or fetish,
-depending on how you look at it) there have been inevit-
able comparisons between the way Grandpa used to raise
his kids and the way it is being done nowadays.
If there is a dearth of information on Grandpa's meth-
ods these days, the reason is probably that Grandpa never
bothered to discuss the matter. Without modern aids and
instruction books, he probably figured that raising child-
ren was a simple business of private intuition, to be done
-with as little ado as possible. With egos and complexes
-not yet invented, .and only one simple rule about sparing
Tthe rod to go by, the whole thing must have been very un-
complicated. If there were juvenile delinquents in those
days they probably locked them in the family closet.
Most modern parents finds things much more involv-
ed. prom bits and pieces picked up in pocket magazines
and copyrighted articles they know that the intuition
method is completely trustworthy, and may well be I-es-
vonsible for serious trouble in the child's later life. Yet
-without a postgraduate course in child psychology, which
many can ill afford, they find it difficult to bring up their
children by the book.
However wrong Grandpa may have been, at least he
knew he was right. The modern parent may well be right,
but he's never quite sure.
