• ''HAPPY DAYS A
For* many low,- years we held the
belief that the holiday season started
at the first Of July, but with advancing
years we have learned that Such is not
the case, jjolidays start just as soon
as one -gets into the holiday mood.
During a •coffee, session at The
Brunswick one Morning last week four .
of the five men we were talking to -
admitted that the seed Catalogue had
4
just come in and looked very interest -
that the new motor boat models
as seen in the latest magazines were
really something; that' it was about
time to go over the fishing tackle and
that. a couple of. golf clubs Wortld
needed for the coming summer, Ac-
tually the fifth fellow, Wlio had noth-
ing to offer in the way of warm -weath-
er suggestions was sort of pushed
aside by the .general conversation. He
just didn't seem quite normal.
Holidays are somethinglike thrist-
rnas. They are not compose'd sp much
AS PENSIONS
$40400 a month to live on, he must be
stretching the dollars to the breaking
point: The high cost of living is every
I* as drastic for the pensioner as it
is for the young man with a family.
One great difference does exist how-
ever, in the fact that the younger mall
can step up to his boss and demand a
raise because things. are so tough that
he can't feed his t:hildren properly
without a raise, •
Whether old age pensions are good
or bad is no.t the point, 'ince they are
an established part of our life in this
country we might as weil,be realistic,
If they are intended to-priivide.a liv-
ing for those who are too old to
work — they must be based on the
cost Of living itself. When the cost
rises so must the penSions. .
While the government at Ottawa
wrestles with the dollar-versus-voteS,
factor, the Ontario government would
do well to consider the Same factors
where mothers' allowances are Con-
cerned. The problems which have
made an increase in old age pensions
obvious are doubled and,trebled in the
case .of young mothers'whoare not
even permitted to supplement their in-
comes to:. any worthwhil,e. degree as
long as they. aocept mothers' allow:-
ance. Pensioners of all ages•,belong to
that unfortunate class who receive a
fixed income. Surprising though it
4nay be, they are the folks,whb would
be blessed in fill] measure by a nation-
wide depression.
RE HERE AGAIN
the months to gloat over the great
outdoors. When the snow is piling
high' outside the window glass", when
the car is burning off its new tires
againSt the sharp 'fangs of icy ruts —
that's the time to trd'nsport your chilly
frame to sunny _beaches. and -gold-
tinted fishing holes.
The 'weather in June is glorious.
The smothering heat of August makes
each of us groan, but relax JD sheer
delight that winter is still a few
months away, 'Yet, we know of no
better weather than that magical Com-
posite which 8teals into our stiff old

HOCKEY
TEAM IS WORTH 'WATCHING
Hockey fans ate, to .sa,tleie leaSt,
fickle, following.', As recently as the
1951-52 season the local arena was
jammed to the rafters for every hotne
game. For two or.three seasons after
that the following was still 'good
and then the bottoth dropped out of
hockey. Despite the fact that town-
people.have dipped down for the price
of an artificial ice system, crowds at
local hockey games wouldn't make one
of those proverbial 'corporal's guards,
Periodically the quality of hockey
served un 1)y, aghorne town team does
deteriorate; :the older older players move
away and youngsters taketheir places.
However, that ,onclition does not e$c-
ist this year. The local entry, the Spit*
fire juniors, are giving a good account
of themselves- against the interrnedi-
* ates whom they are regularly meeting,
The boys are diShing tip a fast apd
teresting game that is well Worth
watching in any town,
.addition to •theit. willing,nessto
'play 'on the team and -give all, they
have in each encounter; the boys.have
now undertaken to raise. one extra
money to pay their way by
'tickets for a draw at a',g
home aine
once a Week. The tickets will Provide
a chance at a door prize of $50.00; pro-
vided the holder of the ticket drawn
'is , in the arena. If nbt the cash re.
wardwill be $40.00 and the remaining
ten dollars Will be held over and add-
ed to the draw the-followiug week.
If :we expect •to Continue the game'
of hockey in this town a, good many of
• us will have to thfoiv in' more than
good wishes forithe teant. --teCs get
