It is also a proud town. Its citizens are keen to tell each new- tter what :a tine community he has selected for a home -- and all with very good reaaon. It is because of this characteristic of pride }) civic ri . . ..4 that most of those who lila' not only in the town, but in the surrounding, district as well, were pleased to know that the Lions Club had decided to carry on, with an annual funi.dun which would, in sate mea- sure, perpetuate the outstanding success achieved during the celebration of the town's 75th anniversary. Frontier Days were the unique result of the Lions' plans in this regard. Unfortu,unatuly our town is not devoid of those pessimists who have done so much to impede progress in other communities, We are indeed lucky that they do not cropup in very large numbers here, but it • is astonishing..hoixe quickly their tired gospel of dis- couragement than spread. Despite the unhappy predictions of oulr gloomy friends Frontier Days this year proved )evond a reasonable doubt that the general public enjo s a .couple of days in the pioneer atmosphere. It provides an opportunity for one and all to dress up and to clown a bit — a luxury that all too few Canadians know how to enjoy, Though the weather threw i a bad hitch into the financial results, the town was crowded on Saturday afternoon with thousands of folks who had come here to enjoy a bit of wholesome fun, It is possible that the Lions Club 'will find it necessary to strearllline,the event td• e some degree. The program may' have to be shortened in future years, but the Lions purpose to continue Frontier Days with the same theme as the past celebrations providing tht '-utmo t in entertainment for the least outlay on part .:artof the family man who wants to see the wife and kids enjoying everything that goes. * SEGREGATION - TWENTIETH CENTURY TRAGEDY The past fifteen years have witnessed some of the world's most tragi(: er-rors as races and peoples continue the apparently hopeless experiment of liv- ing in harmony on the same planet. We have been ready to condemn Germans, Russians and Chinese for their failure, to- assbnilate minorities and peoples of differing political pe,'su:asion. Surely the saddest example of all is the loath- ing and bigotry Which characterizes the refusal of whites 'in the southern United States to permit negro. youngsters -to attend their schools. It is enough that adults should be guilty of wait Monstrous inhuman ity, but to force those beliefs and practices upon thei ()lyre children is an even greater crime, Naturally the whites fear the political and eco- nomic progress of the blacks, when the latter form such a large segment of the population. Perhaps we would not do otherwise in the same situation. How- ever,. the United States, which nqw provides leader- ship S and exampleWestern p for all the rest of .the i� estern World, would do well to study such places as Ber- muda. where black and white have lived together tranquilly for nearly four hundred years.. WhenNegroes in Bermuda were slaves at one time too. 1r��� h e n B' ' y zl lta l 1 1 2 decided t© free them a civil war was not necessary. Slave owners were pei-mtted a period (af several years in which to reorganize. the economy (af their businesses and as the slaves were freed they were given opportunities for educationand employ - :tent. Today their homes, are immaculately tidy; heir children are neat and well-mannered n tsd and the more prosperous member's of the`J`colo.red 'raise Mix* freely, in all the best plates,.with white people. The negro has the right to serve in government. Perhaps the U.S. ,Supreme Court legislation which forced integration upon. the whites is not a wise move. It is possible that a long-term plan of education and social improvement might have been preferable to the use of force but it is now quite evi- dent that the southern States will, have to take some action other than squeezing their black population into shims and utters. How the Kremlin would love to have such a working force as the heroes could provide! FARMERS HAVE OUR. SYMPATHY RAX 47 1020 San Carlos Dr. Spring Valley, California The Winghem Adeane'-Tinter, Wipghane, Ontario. Dear Editor: I Would like to show my aplaree- isttion to the coverage of the Mor- ris Township reunion, vihich peer paper carried So Well. My sister, Mrs. Thomas Minnie) Smith and my niece, Mrs. Amy Mc- Crea of Belgrave, sent me several. clippings of your paper. The Items certainly brought back many won- derful memories of my school days in Stone School No. 7 also No, in School and No. $, good old Brown - town, which I believe I have more happy memories of than the otlhers. Of course, we ell have sortie mens- ories which at the time were not no nice, I remember very clearly one'. incident that happened to me at No. 8 when we were having our school picture taken. Well I Was the proud owner of a. nice, big bah ribbon and jut before the picture was snapped, none other thaw Charlie Bosman standing behind me, pulled my nice big ribbon oft my hair. The picture shows more than words could express what my feelings were at that • time. rNo hard feelings Charlie.) My sister Winnie still has the picture and loves to remind me of it. I also want to take the opportun- ity to thank Mr. Procter for the in- vitation I received earlier in the year. I shouldhave written him a thank -you card but was undecided whether I would be able to make it or not, and kept hoping each day that something would come up to make it possible to attend. Last 'year I had two emergency and unpleasant trips back, one to Detroit to the funeral of a grand- son, the other to Fullerton to see my mother (who since has passed on) so I felt another trip so soen would be just too much. Even though I was not present at the Centennial my thoughts were with each and every one and know a good time was the order of the day. The people responsible for making this reunion a realsuc- cess are well deserving of all the praise and thanks good workers deserve, I have enjoyed reading the articles in your paper second bestto being there. I might state for anyone not knowing where Spring Valley is located in California that it is a suburb east of San Diego, a beauti- ful city where in winter you can drive 60 miles up into the moun- tains and pla}- in the snow, then coine back to the beaches for a sari bath all in the same day. Thanking you again for the won- derful coverage and bringing back -• the happy memories of my dine- r . d in Morris Township. The his- tory of Morris Township was very interesting also, and a copy was sent me by my niece. Sincerely, Mrs, E. W. Watts (formerly Doris Allen)', There is an old and outworn fable among towns- men that farmers are eternal complainers -- that they are never satisfied no matter how good they have it. "Alis crop season should certainly prove the contrary, for we have heard a great deal : more moaning from urban dwellers than -from the farm folk themselves over conditions created by the weather. Ontario farmers are facink the most diseotir ....- i lg season fl many many years. Seeding was end- lessly hampered by wet weather in an the' spring d harvesting of coarse grains is weeks behind: for the same reason. In case you haven't no'ticed', a drive tltr°Ugh the country will convince ,Roti. The stooks are standingin field after 'field, black with cold moistnre, which in many cases has rotted the grain.
