There is an" old saying' to the effect that we begin by making habits, and end 'by habits making us. It is easy to let our lives and our work fall"into a rut and our actions become mechanical and thought- less. We become like procession- ary caterpillars. - * Processionary caterpillar's move through the trees , in procession, one, ;leading and • the others following - each with his eyes half closed and his head snugly fitted against ;the rear extremity of his predecessor. Jean-Henri Fabre, the great French naturalist; after patiently experimenting with a group of these caterpillars, finally enticed them to the rim of a large flowerpot where he succeeded in getting the first one connected with the last one, thus forming a complete circle which started moving around in a procession which had neither beginning: nor end. The naturalist expected that after a while they would catch on to the jOke - get tired of their useless march and start off in some new direction. But not so. Through sheer force of habit, the living, creeping circle kept , moving around the 'rim of the pot - around and around, keeping the- same relentless pace for seven , days and seven nights - and doubtless would have continued longer had it not been for- Sheer exhaustion and ultimate starvation. • , An ample supply of food was cloie at hand, and plainly visible, but it was outside the range of the circle, so they continued- along the beaten path. They were following instinct, habit, custom, tradition, precedent, past experience, stand- ard practice, or' whatever you may choose to call it, but they were following blindly.' They mistook activity tut:accom- plishment. They meant well - but they got no place. • And, so it is, too, with the problem we face today - that of the young person driving automobiles while likkere'd up or spaced out .on drugs. The extreme dangers should* be known to them, just as the' food supply was visible to the caterpillars. They, like the caterpillars, continue relentlessly on their way despite the dangers because oftentimes it is the smart or 'in.' thing to do. They do' themselves no good and do terrible harm to both themselves and the innocent society at large. When will 'they learn? George. A. Newbold, Lucknow, Ontario.. UP BY $200 .
