FIFTEEN YEARS AGO
On Wednesday evening last week
a large meteor flashed -across the
northeastern skies. It was not only
large Viit very brilliant. It was
about 7.40 when it was noticed
here and haveral have reported
seeing the spectacle. Some reported
that it reflected its color in the
snow, It appeared to cut a broad
pathway through the sky and had
a tail of light. R was travelling in
the general direction of south-east
and disappeared over the horizon.
The meteor was widely seen in
Western Ontario.
Early Saturday morning about
an hour or two after Friday mid-
night, the northern lights made a
beautiful and attractive display.
The large bands of colored light
raced across the sky. Due to the
late hour not many witnessed the
display, but dancing was suspend--
ed. at Whitechurch while thoSe
present viewed the sight.

An amazing .discovery made by
some flabbergasted 0.1's during
the tough and bloody struggle for
Okinawa is told by Clarence W.
Hall, a, war correspondent who
went with them to one of the ism
land's obscure villages known as
.fihimMabkilte:
Directly 14 the path of the Amer-
ican army, this little community
took its share of severe shelling.
"As the advance patrols swept up
to the village compound, the G.L's,
their guns levelled, stepped dead in
their tracks as two little old men
stepped forth, bowed low and be-
gan to speak," writes Mr. Hall,
These men were welcoming the
Americans as fellotv Christians, an.
interpreter explained.
The G.I.'s soon found the eason
for this rolling out of the red car-
pet, Thirty years earlier, an Amer-
ican missionary enroute to Japan
had stopped there. He had stayed
just long enough to make a couple
of converts, leave them a Bible and
pass n. These two converts werc.
the brothers who were happy to
see the armed-to-the-teeth. G.I.'s,
whom they accepted as Christians
since they too came from America.
The approach of these Americans
seemed strangely different from
their missionary ,predecessor, how-
ever.

The recent outbreak of rabies
amongst wild animals to the north of
tis should give food for thonght to
local dog owners, whose pets might
contract the disease. Already dog
owners throughout the province have
been advised lo have their pets inoen-
lated_against the disease.
According to medical authorities
rabies is lyarld-wide 111 distribution,
and has been recognized since early
times. In the more heavily populated
parts of the world the disease occurs
principally in dogs, cats and carnivor-
Ous,Wild animals, but it may he trans-
ferred' to vegetarian animals and man
by the bite of infected anitnals. Re-
cent reports indicate that foxes in the
area have become rabid, and medical
au,thorities fear that dogs may con-
tract the disease, making the danger
to humans much more acute.
. The symptoms of the disease are a
fearsome thing to behold. The aniinal
may become „ frenzied, its voice be-
conies altered and strange cries. and
hovels are uttered, Ferociousness is.
also, very evident, During this stage

;Which 'crosses its path. This period
excitement lasts for three or four
7:lays.-',"Iild at the end of this time para-
„lytic .symptoms appear which are fol-
. ,.,'.lowed.. by death. .
The present shortage of school
teachers will be aggravated in the
next 'few years, according to educa-
tional authorities, who predict that by
1965 'the province will need an addi-
tional ,6„000 high t . school teachers. Las
year .the.net gain in, teachers, amounted,
to only SO.
. .Although teaching as a profession
doesn't seem too popular these days,
there is no doubt that it offers many
attractions,'chief of them being a two-
.. month vacation in the S11111111Cr and
_stipplementary vacations at Christmas
L' aster. Teaching hours, too, are
light, and teachers are granted all
statutory holidays.
On „ the other hand teaching is a
'.'Strentotts job, mentally„ if not 'physi-
eally, and extracurricular activities,
sach al marking examination papers,
preparing lessons and general home-
work, take up more, time than most
teachers get credit for.. Teachers
are also expected to take their place in.
community actitivies, and many of
them find. 'that this sort of endeavor
takes up quite a lot of their time.
Meinbers of the profession claim
that .4ea.che'rs' salaries do not compare
favorably with those of other profes-
8i.0110 requiring a like academic stand-.
ing, irt spite of recent increases-, -There
seems to be little doubt that although

health services are some of the many
things the organization does for the
good of the community,
To carry on its work the Red Cross
needs a good deal of money. Some-
where, sometime this year time Red
Cross will respond to the call for in} •
mediate aid, and it must be ready for
every emergenc y.
That is why it is so important to
give generously when the canvasser
l,e1 's make sure Wingham does
its full part in supporting- the work
of this wonderful organization.
Similar symptoms appear amongst
rabid foxes, the most characteristic
evidence being their loss of fear of
man, dogs and livestock. They roam
about in the daylight and have a dis—
tinct tendency to frequent the grounds
and buildings of farm houses, and on
°Cell. Si on have been known to enter
the house itself. While irr these un-
natural snrroillndings they may or
Illay not bite the livestock and the
human inhabitants.
Because dogs arc the main worry
in an epidemic of rabies, control mea-
sures for the disease arc based mainly
on the control of the dog population,
by preventing dogs from running at
large and also by eliminating stray
dogs. Since 1953 the vaccination of
(logs in a rabies suspected area has
been instituted, not as a replacement
-for dog control, but as a further aid
in the control of the disease. The pre-
vention of rabies in man depends pri-
marily upon the control of the disease
in dogs, but in the event that man is
bitten by a rabid dog the Pasteur
treatment consisting of a series of
injections with antirabies :vaccine, is
given.
it is evident, therefore, that if the.
present epidemic of rabies continues,
and if it moves closer to this district,
(log owners in the area will he doing
a service to the community by having
their dogs vaccinated against the di-
sease.
However with the present short-
age of qnalified teachers, and the pros-
pect that the shortage will become
more acute, it seems likely' that more
and more of the Teachers' Federation
d-emands will have to he met by school
boards all over the country, and there
is a possibility that in tulle the pro-
fession may become even more highly;
paid than other comparable positions,
Tt seems to us that of late perhaps
too 111riell emphasis has been laid on
the boilding of new modern schools,
and too little on the training and
encouragement of an adequate teach-
ing force. Properly trained teachers
are just as ]import ant as p,:ymnasituns
and auditoriums, but it sometimes
appears as if the departMent has neg-
lected the soul of education in favor
of the outer shell.
NO BED OF ROSES '
There seems to be a greatftndency
amongst people in various professions
and businesses to look upon business-
es other than their own as a soft:
touch. .1,`,verybody else's job is a bed
of roses, according to this school of
thought.
The butcher seems to think that
the baker has the best deal, and the
baker envies the candlestick maker
his income, his leisure. and the ease
with which lie makes his daily bread.
We suppose it was ever thus. in-
deed, quite regularly we run into
people who think the newspaper busi-
ness is the field in which the first
million Collie.:; the easiest.
There is an old saying to the effect
that before you envy anybody any-
thing yop should find out how happy
those people arc who possess it.
Applying this rule of thumb, most
people would probably decide that
they might as well stay in their own
business.
