SELFISHNESS PREVAILS
t,.a. A.1 4.4
Last week Police Chief Gordon
Deyell handed us a little cardboard
sign which read "Thanks for taking
TWO parking spaces. 1 had to park
two blocks away!" •
This message was printed on a
card, suitable for slipping under the
windshield wiper for the attention
of the offending motorist, We' can't
say that we agree with this particu-
lar method of correcting parking
problems — mostly because the re-
minder would be as boorish as the
selfish attitude which makes one car
driver cease to care whether any
Other drivers can be accommodated.
Wingham has a widespread repu-
tation as the town with the jammed-
up main street. If you doubt it, take
a drive through any of our surround-
ing towns, even on a busy Friday or
SEE IT ALL THIS WEEK
On Thursday evening the third
annual Kinsmen. Trade Fair opens
at the arena and in the „big tent
which will be set up on Diagonal
Road, The residents of Wingham
and the surrounding district will
once again have an opportunity to
feel a pardonable pride in their com-
munity. When all the exhibits are
set - one sees a good cross-section of
the sort of business life which is
carried on here all year round.
So far the Kinsmen have been
well justified in their decision to
create a showplace for local products
and services; and this year, with the
addition of the tent space, they will
be offering an even broader picture
of what we have and are.
Added to the fine exhibits will be
equally fine entertainment, making
a wonderful evening for the whole
family. We don't believe you will
want to miss any of it.
DAIRYMEN KNOW HOW
Farmers, by and large, have heen
suffering from depressed prices for
some time back, To their everlast-
ing credit be it said here and now
that they aren't complaining too
much about it either. The remedies
for. the .situation) are .complicated
and in some cases costly,
One segment of the agricultural
industry, however, has done consid-
erably better than the average man
of the soil — and we refer now to the
dairymen, for whom 'business gen-
erally has been pretty good. D airyb
products have been selling well at
fair prices. The reason for the dif-
ference is one which should he stud -
ied by all farm groups With consid,
erable interest.
For quite a few years the dairy
men, through their association, have ,
been carrying out a comprehensive
and intelligent advertising campaign,
with the result that the Canadian
consumer had been educated to pur-
chase the. best of domestic dairy
products. Sales have increased, the
dairy fanner has prospered and the
entire economy has benefited,.
In case you are one of those
people who moan about the high
cost. of advertising and how much it
adds to your cost of living, just do
a little reading about the case of the
dairy industry., You will find that
the employment of the advertising
medium as a vehicle for increased
sale of dependable products has been
of benefit not only to the producer
but to you. the consumer, as well.
Canadians have never been offer-
ed dairy products, either the authen-
tic 'ones or the synthetic counter-

During a food, instiectera inveati-

that tin one cold storage plant there
were no less than 2,000 sheep which
had been kept for the last two
years. Owners declared they are
still in good condition and fit for
consumption,
nilary had a little Iamb,
But it she could not keep;
Per 'ere a year had passed away
It was a great big sheep.
Then a naughty butcher tame,
Wise in the art of sham,
And next clay on his counter

the only Nei, Testament writer who
has recorded this matchless story,
decline; With the couverson and sat-
VatLon of this interesting character.
His story is found in chapter 23
verses S9-43,
Notice that he died unbaptized,
As he hung apart- the cruel cross.
there was no one present to aa.
minister the rite of baptism. It was
the mercy of Christ and His great
love for sinners that saved this
poor thief. Many make the mis,
rage of making 'baptism the door to
)leaven.
Note again, that his story refutes
the heresy of salvation by goad
works, How could lie work out his.
salvation by good works when his.
hands and feet were nailed -to
cruel cross? His Christian life was
measured not by Years, but by rain-
Wes. Good works are the fruit of
salvation and not its source.
We learn here that the salvation
is not universal. The Cross of

Cross of Christ today divides all
mankind into two classes those
who are saved and those 'who tire
lost.
The story of this man's salva-
:ion proves there is mercy for the
vilest sinner. No one, not even the
chief of sinners, need despair after
reading his 'history. Nowhere else
in the Bible have we a greater ex-
ample of grace abounding to the.
Chief of sinners than here. When
this. man Was saved, there is hope
for all. Be was a ringleader among.
criminals, Ills hands dripped red
with huMzin blood, yet Christ par-,
doned his sins and saved his soul.
Christ commenced his ministry by
saving sinners, he ended it by say-
ing the soul of this poor, thief.
The converted thief teaches you
to seize your opportunity. That aw-
ful hour on Calvary was his first
opporttuntly to believe on Christ.
Certainly it was his last. , It ;vita
now or never with him. Christ
threw a swift salvation to this poor
thief on the cross, The people in
heaven are those who have seized
their opportunities. The people who
are In hell are those 'who lost them,

MONEY WELL SPENT
• While we are talking about the
Kinsmen and their efforts, may we
remind you of the manner which
they spend the money they make
from their trade fairs and other en-
terprises?
At their meeting last Friday ev-
eninc,
t'
they voted $1,700 to the local
Boy Scouts, to be used for improve-
ments at the Scout House which'was
recently turned over to the boys by
the town of Wingham. In addition
the Kinsmen have become the official
sponsors of the Boy Scouts..
It would be -difficult to"nln afint
a more worthwhile gift, for' -the
Scours,. Cubs, Guides and Brownies
have been a thriving organization
here for the past few years. Un-
der active and well-selected lead-
ership, with the backing of an in-
terested group committee Wingham
has been providing one of the finest
antidotes ever devised for juvenile
delinquency, with the result that
many of the probletbs which sadden
other communities today don't exist
in our town.
The Kinsmen have recognized the
supreme importance of the Scouting
movement and by their generosity
have made sure that it will be con-
tinued for a long time to come,
Proper quarters in whiCh to hold
meetings and place their trophies of
achievement are a necessity to the
Scouts. The entire community is
grateful to the United Church for
the hospitality which has been ex-
tended to the Scouts, but it was an
arrangement which could not be
continued for ever. In the new build-
ing the boys and girls and their
leaders will feel a pride of ownership
which is entirely consistent with the
nature of 'their fine purpose in life.

This .,week I celebrate my 40th
birthday. For a woman, that. is
fate worse than death. She shies
at the cruel barrier like a jumper
refusing a too-tall hedge. Fpr
my own part I view the Situation
with equanimity, interest, and not
a little satisfaction.
There were a good many times
in my life when I didn't think I'd
reach 40, hence the satisfaetion.
This is the age when a man is
supposed to get restless, and kick
over the traces. Hence the in-
terest. And ' 1 only have thirty
years to go for the pension. Hence
the equanamity.
To my children, my 40th birthday
marks the approach of senility.
They look on me with a mixture
of amusement, affection, and in-
dignation. As a father; they are
fond enough of me. It's my old
fashioned ideas, they can't stand.
Like thinking_ they should go to
bed some time before midnight
and should not go swimming on
the first of April, and a lot of
rnossbound old stuff like that.
To my wife, I am a mature man
who should start acting like one
for a change. I'm a poor father,
A. useless homemaker and I smoke
too much. I .arn impossible in an,
argument, somethnes gviing to the'
lengths of disagreeing with her.
But she's looking forward to the
future, nonetheless. She's con-
vinced -that given another 15. years,
she'll have ins housebroken.
'To myself, I'm a mere youth, just
entering the best years -of -my life,
handsome, courageous, adventur-
ous, and only prevented from run-
ning off to the South Seas with
Gina ._Loliobrigiate - by . the fact
that she hasn't Asked me. That
gray at; the. temples merely adds
to my sotillistierkted charm, Those
groans When I get up in the morn-
ing are not my sore back, but
manifestations of horror at facing
a World in which I am not fully
appreciated.
Fortieth birthday is a good time
to balance 'the books. You find
out, whether there's any working
capital to buy a toboggan for the
long slide down the other slope of
the mountain it's taken you 40
years to climb, Looking over my
abset.s, I find that I've had more
than my fair share of good 'for-
tune, and can face the coining
years, if not with joy, at least
without despair.
Physically, I'm lucky, Lots of
men my age have neither their
own teeth nor hair, and mine,
while not luxuriant, are my own.
Lots of -men my age are totiag
enough blubber to make an gs-
kimo's mouth water, and I have to
eat like a hyena, just to stay even.
Lots of men my age have an
ulcer, a livet eontlition, high blood
pressure or a strained heart. I've
been spared thie banes, Can't
smell a thing, but I can see right
across a room, and I can hear a
mouse buip at 20 paces. Don't
Worry, I'm typing this with all
my fingers crossed.
The years have been good to me
financially; too. When I was
married, I had $108.60 in the bank
and didn't owe a cent, On my
40th birthday, I have $35.40 and
owe everybody in town, Butt have
big, old house half paid fore and
a fi,year-Old ear all paid for and
two kids all paid for, and a wife
who Still hasn't got that fur Coat
but has a floor polisher and built-

partments, I have improVei with
