And then we fire up the ,furnace or turn up the thermostat. Thermometers and thermostats are conimplance instruments in daily life. Both of them register conditions around them, The ther- mometer testi us whether it is as cold (or as hot) as we think it is. It registers useful information about the temperature, Mit that is the limit of its usefulness.

They also do something about bringing conditions back to normal.

When something is wrong they start changing bad, people to good in order to make the world better. Paul has a -message for ther- mometers and thermostats.

Davis, youngest sitting member,, urged that the gov- ernment assume 100 per cent of the east of education for regarded child - ren. We could not agree more fully. It is only within the past few years private individuals and goy - ernment alike have realized that many retarded children are capable of absorbing education. Full credit for the great progress which has been made should be given to the parents of the retarded children and the many associations, which have been formed to better the lot of a class of youngsters who were not too long ago, considered hopeless, Right here in Wingh.a,m we have had a wonderful example of the tre- mendous strides which can be. made When devoted and determined people set out to master a problem. No Matter how much assistance is offer- •'edby government agencies, the ma- jor part of the burden will always. be. carried- by those selfless individ uals who are ready to spend their time and. energy in the training of the 'handicapped children. Regard - less - of the , sun's of money made availabIe• the human .elethent—the 14lidness and understanding of in- structors and helpers, will continue to be paramount. The responSibility Of the Depart- ment of Edueation is only one phase of the total requirements of these re- tarded children, for some are so ill that they must he the responsibility of the Department of Health ; if they. grow older without training arid supervision some are bound to. fall Within the jurisdiction of the De- partment of Reform Institutions; many who are not grossly retarded KNOWING MEANS UNDERSTANDING On a recent evening the members of the Lions Club entertained an in- vited group of farmers to dinner. The 'event itself was not marked by any great speeches or declarations. It was, rather, an evening of pure good fellowship. As such it was highly commendable and should be repeated as often as possible. There 'are too few 'opportunities for countrymen and townsmen to sit down together and develoti their friendshiPs .and mutual understand- ing. The gulf between these two segments of our population is still much too wide. In an earlier. day we .had more personal contacts with ,farmers, The agricultural society, -for instance,' Was a point at which businessmen and farmers worked side by side for a common purpose. the present day and age there iS•even greater reason for the two groups to know one another and to understand the other 'fellow's prob- lents. Farmers are rapidly becom- ing businessmen of the first calibre. They'face all the. problems of high capital investment, d.epreciation, in- come lax and government super- vision with which the merchant or professional man is acquainted. The dimensions of our total community, rural and urban, have shrunk with the passing years and the develop- ment of communication and trans- portation. In„ many instances farm , ers are sitting on the same public boards with townsmen—and with the greatest of credit to their intel- ligence and progressive spirit. it is our sincere hope that the Lions Club will continue its farmers' nights and seek to develop still :fur- ther Means of uniting the two 1111- portant elements of our Western.

Since one teacher can handle only six, or eight of the retarded children, and since they must be trained in quarters other than the regular pub- lic schools, it is obvious that costs of education are much higher than for .average youngsters. Therefore it seems equally obvious that the en- tire problem .stands in a category by itself,. where the Department of Edu- cation should. take full responsibility for the cost of training, rather than paying only percentage grants, which in, many cases are smaller than they would be to regular schools. There is no need to fear that this will be'just another case of handing our worries over to the state. There will never be a day when the cause of retarded children will lack for dedicated workers to voluntarily offer their services for those child- ren who need them so urgently. TRUE COMMUNITY CENTRE Reading the annual report of the Beigrave Arena Commission recent- ly we were impressed by the en- thusiasm which is so apparent on. the part of the board and the resi- dent s of the Belgrave community. When the Ontario government be- gan handing out grants to hockey rinks a few years back, because such buildings were termed "Community centres" we were more than a little skeptical. Not too many arenas in the entire province could honestly be called community centres, with references to even fair-sized s'eg- ment of the population, However, in Belgrave the situation is entirely different , Vrom the Belgrave arena board has sprung a fine midget ball team which carries on the benefits of organized sport in the summer months. Nov the board has -set up a committee to encourage the forma- tion of a horseshoe club, which will provide an interesting pastime for the older, as well as the younger elements. The rooms in connection with the arena are in use constantly for various organization's within the area and the arena as a whole has become a true centre for community ,act ivi t y. This focusing 'of community in- terests is an extremely valuable thing in small centres, and often re- sults in a concentration of 'enthus- iasm-and spirit which becomes the envy of many larger towns lacking such cohesion and, unity of purpose. The Belgrave people came through last year with flying colors, after a setback in the form of snow damage to the arena. We didn't see them around with their hands out asking for help, either. May the best of success ,,attend their future efforts and the fine work they are doing. ABOUT TIME The Speech from the Throne at the opening of Parliament in. Ottawa indicated that the government would seek to extend the fall privileges of franchise to the Indians within our population. It is surely high time that such a move was made. (`hnr treatment of Indians iii Can- ada doesn't leave us much room to be smug about the way natives have been handled in other countries. True, Canadian Indians were not massacred as was the oase in some American countries,• but. we did go to the opposite extreme in over- protecting them to such a degree ,that they were never permitted to take their place in a changing civil- ization. They were always fine Wh en we needed them to help fight our wars, but when it came to voting or drink- ing a glass of beer or getting a 'de- cent tducation then they were still savages.

Dr. Irvine H. Page, ;director of the Cleveland Clinie, Cleveland Ohio, says that- problems of the circulatory system in regard to heart disease have been neglected, The stress factor has been "over- stressed," Dr. Page maintains. "Children and Russians being what they are, it is hard to see how stress can currently be much re- duced." Avoiding excesses of all kinds is his advice, but he adds, 'Don't miss artythieg, Accept life's chal- lenges , • . live as though you Would live forever, and, in spirit, you. will."
