Both as pharmacists . and -11,5 merchants we 'are aware of our

you, 'our customers, sincerely and honestly.
And so 'we say "Get to kno w your pharmacist better". You

Compliments of:-

particular merit for this happy state
of affairs. So, far a kind providence
has spared us.
Our main' thoroughfare is busy
often choked with traffic and double

there will be mourning throughout the
entire community.
Safety precautions are a form of
insurance — and . we all know how
hard it is to pay the' premiums when
health is good and life seems hide

are an investment in human life, in

for the future of our town. The traffic

One of the very finest thoughts.
whit h has been brought to public
atWntion during the past several
months is the one proposed in a very
practical manner by the officers of the
former horse show, Readers -will re-,
call that those officers approached the
town 'council with a proposition to
provide the funds for a traffic light at
the cornel' of Josephine and Victoria
Street's.
Practical suggestions for ways and
means of providing for greater safety
in this community have not been put
forward any too frequently. We are
strong on fine new public buildings,
on th e very best in sports organiza-
tions and all the trappings of

very, very dense where safety is con-
cerned.

One person in the meeting listen-
,ed with particular interest to the
man's testimony. He was a volun-
ary colporteur of the Bible Society.
After the service he contadted this
speaker and asked -permission- to
examine the Book. He ,•discovered
that it was the very copy he had
carried for many years and the
one he had considered lost.
Understandably the speaker is no
longer a pickpocket, ,

A mistake made recently by -a.
Professienal pickpocket in Brazil
led to a change in his occupation.
The story was told by, the man
himself in a public meeting.
"One day", said he, • "I la,w a

purse,' thought I, and soon the

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS MAO.
Three churches in this community
have undertaken a very practical task.
At the end of this month a Sunday has
been set aside for personal calls upon
each member of three congregations
-,,i-•not'by the clergyinen, but rather by
fellow church members.
ChurCh has employed the •
plait for ;twip years and St: Andrew's -
Pre6yterion.: •and Wingham United
are undertaking similar campaigns
this year.
:Thq pUrpose' of the visits is not
primarily: to badger church members'
for money, Its main aim is to remind
each family that the church is a real
and. living part of our way of life, and•
that if it is to survive the active help
d each member is needed. Among
those -who do the visiting will be not
only The long-established and well-
known church workers, but the busi
ness Men, mechanics, farmers and
clerks who make up. the general mem-
b.e.tsbip -of, the three churehes.
'Ithe faCt that such a plan is being
tarried out in this super-modern age
dfikrs seems an indication that men
and yoyrten-,,today are recognizing with.

cannot live by the4azzling products of

Orifident witness provides the one
anchor of hope in an age which has
lost all future for those who have
looked with bleak eyes upon the tools
of destruction - placed in our hands by
science and human invention. •
Notlang.ago we read a thought-
ful article by one of the greatest think-
thiS - generation. He calmly
'stated the fact that man has outstrip-
ped his own mental capacity. ft was
his belief that - the atom has afforded
such 'unlimited power that human
mental deVelopment is • incapable of
determining the proper employment of
such awful, force. Perhaps he is right
There is anew style in some quar-
ters. to deride our Christian faith as
old-fashioned. There are many who
insinuate that only the deluded• can
have any time for the nebulous.beliefs
,inherent in those who value church
membership and' its , responsibilities,
Perhaps. these enlightened, folk have.
failed to. study the sceili*IZAssia.'

quences` of;, implicit faith in man-made
institutions. "' How gratifying .it must

AUTOMATION AND SMALL
TOWN INDUSTRY
Automation, that surprising word
Which: 'conjures up in, one's mind a
world of push-buttons., whirl- in g
wheels and gigantic steel monsters
capable of punching out anything from
a match to a motor car without the
labor of himian. muscle, has. already
caused, a revolution in-produCtion - in
ina'hy industrles. The machine has
displaced manpower and man-hours to
an astonishine,:degree, such industries
a.s automotive,, steel, canning, packag-
ing etc., being most widely affected.
Automation is not new; even be
fore' World War If it was being' put
into effect, but the impetus for the
elimination of manual operations in
manufacturing has only begun to have
the maximum effect because of the
ever-increasing wage scales, the cost
of power and other facilities.
In the smaller towns of this coun-
try with smaller types of industry,
automation is lagging, but there are
signs-that it is on its way. Whit
effect will it have on population, busi-
ness and the life of the 'Small• town .
When a factory with say 200' employees
reduces this number by half? It means,
'that one hundi-ed bread winners have
to seek other employment in that
town. The remedy to automation of
course is More industry and especially
more diversification of industry. St,

Dear Friends:
Just, wanted to let • you know
that we are receiving The "Advance-
Times which you may be sure we
are enjoying- very much, News
from the • home town will be pleas-
ant-reading` always.
So far my wife and I are en-
joying Florida very much. The
weather has been perfect, in the
80's during the day and around
70 at night, which makes it ideal
for steeping,• We have, of• course,
been very busy getting the Mari
Lynn 1V4otel ready for, we hope, an
influx of guests.
The pulse of activities in this re-
gion is beginning to quicken and
things are booming., We noticed
on our arrival• several new business
and residential developments on
U.S, Alt,/ 19, on which we are sit-
uated. Just north of St. Peters-
burg, and approximately six miles
from us there are three new,
large industrial sites in the mak-
ing, namely Minneapolis-Honeywell,.
General Eleetric and Davidson Div-
ision of Curtis 'Aeronautics.
In our immediate vicinity there
are still quite a number of citrus
graves, The old timers around
here certainly bate to See them
ripped up for these new housing
and indristrial developments,
ever, the owners at a sale price of
up to $2500 an acre for residential
lots can really add two and two
and see that it's all in the black.
A house down here,- to build, takes,
approximately ,six to seven weeks.

Mr. Calloway and his boys were
not back on the air for many months.
How times have ,changed! Today
any hill billy orchestra with its mem-
bers in straw hats and false Mustaches
can stomp out a tune to geetar accOm-
paniment which freely uses sacred
names and we' apparently think 'noth-
ing of it. Dozens of these pseudo-
religious pieces have been foisted Upon
a foolish public through radio, TV and
recordings. Be it said, Some of the
musicians may even feel that they are
sincere rather than blasphemous --'but
the songs of this. nature have been
produced for one reason only be=
• cause they sell quickly to buyers who
are mistaking sentimentality -for re-
ligious ferVor.
Vor our part, we believe that re;
ligious music should not be rendered
in, any way which does not conform to
basic principles of dignity and rever-
ence, We don't accuse the radio and
TV indUstry of sacrilege,— merely of
astonishingly bad taste and poor
judgment,
