The fire at the Western Foundry
was the worst that Wingham and

a day. A building 820 feet long and
80 feet wide was burned, with
damagedaage at nearly $50,000, it hous-

A very large number gathered to
watch the fire and the blaze could

No one. would read any other
book as many people read the
Bible, Skipping from one unrelated
passage to another,* "dipping" here
and there, reading only snippets, of
stories characterizes what is •too
often called Reading",
din a day when fewer Bibles are
left to be dust collectors, some sug-
gestions for reading the Bible are
in order. Among.the first requisites
is a book of convenient siZe and
weight, with clear, readable type.
A definite period or amount of time
each day 'helps to form a pattern
that eventually • provides an in-
dispensable background knowledge.
A prayer for illumination before
reading gives purpose arid leads to
personal spiritual development.
What to read is often a problem.
The word Bible comes' from the
Greek word "Biblos" meaning a
library of books, The New Testa-
Mort is a glad place to'start. The
Book of Mark is suggeked because
of its vivid direct style and rapid•
action. Folk:ming the story of the
life of Christ with the establish-
ment and exploits of the early
Christians' ill Acts leads to an in-
terest in the groWth of the early
church. This is further portrayed
in the letters of Paul arid Others.

ious problems, not unlike our ow,

Two. important *points in Bible
reading should be' noted. One is
reading by units of thought ,ra-
ther than by chapters. One of the
most beautiful stories -ever' written
is the Book of Roth, It takes about
eighteen minutes to read the four
chapters. This should be: read in
its entirety, • when started., The
story of Joseph,: (Genesis, Chapters
37-50) and of Moses (Exodus, Chap-
ters 2-10 require ,about an hour
each. Ten to forty-five minutes is
all that is needed by the average
reader for each. of 33 of the 66
Books of the' Bible. Many of then)
take twenty minutes or less.
Another important point in. Bible
reading is "Read the -passages that
mean .most you," such as the
twenty-third Psalm, A search for
such passages becomes ' a pleasant
pastime.'
reading with an open
mind, with imagination, ugh Li r-
ri e dly, without , being disturbed
when some isolated section- is not
immediately tinderstopd, using the
Standard Bible dictionaries, mak-
ing notes along the way, all these
"rules" point the way to getting
more out of reading the Bible.

THAN et/ER We suppose there win be great
weeping, wailing and gnashing of
teeth as a result of the IleWs that the
'tax rate in Wingham is due for a
ittmP -again this year, Such a re
ti on is inevitable among taxpayers
who have seen nothing- but tax in-
creases over the past ten years. Think
well, however, before you go sounding
off to one of the elected representa-
tives- on council, for you may be walk-
ing straight into a trap.
Higher. Mill rates are not entirely
the fault of council members, mach as
we'd like to have a handy scapegoat
on which to lay the blame, There are
a number of considerations which
enter the picture, and if you were to
look only at the other side of the
scene, you might easily come -to the
conclusion that council members have
very little to do with' ti‘te. rise or fall
of taxes in any given community.''
Municipal councils raise money by
taxes; other people spend a good deal
of the money raised. In the case of
the county council, for instance, near-
ly, $25,000 of Wirigharrt taxpayers'
money goes to ClOdetich withoUt
the ‘Wingham council or Wingham
taipayers having any say, the
matter. Eleven mills -(it could •be
twelve within the next few months)
of our total of sixty-odd is spent for
..us by county council, mortgaged and
earmarked before it is even collected.
With all due respect to the people
!who sit: on them, the same applies to
the various hoards around town, the
4figh school board, the public school
'board and the hospital board. :When
a new high school is needed, or a new
addition to the public school, or a new
hospital wing, the board concerned
goes ahead, albeit in fear and trent-
bling, sometimes, and spends the

Spring fever takes some peculiar

seems to be a burnin' desire to burn
grass.
Looking at it one way, the annual
spring rite of burning grass could be
classed, along with getting out the

money, Town council must rase the
funds and generally speaking bears
the brunt of the criticism which fol-
lows inevitably on the heels of higher
taxes.
Responsiblity for spending the tax-
payers' money doesn't rest entirely
with the local boards, either, In the
C4,se of school boards, for instance, the
department. of education quite often
calls the time and tells the local board
when and if they should build a new
school. \ similar situation often
exists between the department of
health and the hospitals. The net
result is that although the local hoard
has some say in any projected build-
ing program, it in turn is subject to
pressures from without as well as
within.
In Wingham's case, it would be
hard to put a finger on• any one place
where the toWn could have. cut corn-
ers, or eliminated the expenses which
have been incurred by recent Wilding
programs here, If you haven't enough
rooms to .accommodate your. SChOol-
children, it's fairly obvious that you
must build more. tr your hospital has
twice as many patients as it can corn-
fortably • hold, it's obvious that you.
must build a new wing. On the whole,
it is ,very unlikely that any of Wing-
ham's recent building projects could
have been avoided, :or that costs could
have been pared enough to make any
difference to the mill rate.
Wingham must go along with the
times, and apparently the times clic-
, tate a spending policy on a scale
which would have staggered our
fathers.
If you think it's wrong, and if
you're prepared to dp something about
it, we're sure those now in municipal
office would be only too glad to give
you a chance. •
