Though we have no doubt that he will contribute much to the com- munity generally as a teacher, there remains a feeling of loss, This man has been not only a businessman, but a leader-his town has benefited in no small. .degkee from the influence of the newspaper he edited. Learning his reasons for the move, however, we can't say that we blame him too much. Instead of Working in his office all day and spending every evening at meetings he will be able to make a better liv- ing in a profession where the hours are inestimably shorter where the income- is guaranteed and the an- nual increment assured (a condition which never. pertains in business). He will have two months' holidays, all the long week-ends and the know- ledge that when he leaves his deSk at the school there will be no tele- phone calls at home to keep him grinding away at his job when the, THE THINGS WE CAN'T AFFORD .Economy at the municipal level Is a great thing. Taxes are-high and none of us want to see them any higher. Nonetheless, there are some things a town can do without too long-and Wingham is no exception. Two or three years ago the coun- cil was approached about accepting the remainder of the horse show funds for use in the installation of traffic lights at the Victoria-Jose- phine . When it was. found that the money was inade- quate to completely pay for the type of signals required by the Depart- ment, the whole proposition fell through. As far as we know the horse show money is still unem- played. We need traffic lights on our main street, not only at the corner mentioned previously, but on at least two other intersections as well. They would cost several thousand dollars. Without do-Ubt. If you have neither children nor a ‘car, you may. doubt the truth of this , statement - but if you have youngsters going to school and cros- sing the main street every day you will' see the; need pretty clearly. There have been' spasmodic effors:s. to provide some protection for the children at the main corners,but a large percentage of the time they are left to their own resources and the good judgment of car drivers. Traffic signals on the main inter- sectiona will provide the only sure- fire method of stopping traffic so that pedestrians can cross in safety. Our street is not wide. Parking and double parking are a nightmare and the habits of local drivers are far from 'Perfect. One of these days there will be a serious accident and cost of traffic lights will dim to in- significance before the price of hu- man life, There are some economies a de- (tent town simply cannot afford. day's work is supposed to he finished, All of which leads to some dis- turbing thoughts about businessmen generally. Not too many years back we admired the young mall who was. sufficiently ambitious to make the effort necessary to get into business for himself. Canada never lacked for energetic young businessmen, be- cause the rewards of such effort were realistic, Once the young fel- low was over the hill and had his business rolling he could at least be reasonably sure that even though he might have more worries than the ordinary employee, he as least had a sound, investment for his later years and a good income in the meantime, Such is far from the case. today, Many a younger businessman is wondering why he ever took the trouble. , There is still a theory abroad, particularly in government circles, that the businessman makes a. lot more money than a skilled • labourer or a professional Irian. As a result the man who is trying to invest his earnings in 'stock or equipment to keep op with rapidly changing times, finds that, he is ex- pected to carry the major share of his town's taxes, which are now set two or three mills higher for, the man who has the gumption to at- tempt: any commercial enterprise.. The federal income tax depart- ment has. this junior tycoon all sized up, too. Never mind the fact that he has heavy payments to meet - in order to purchase his business; he has to ante over all cash which might be used to get his obligations cleared. He is Usually located on. the main street of his town., where every tick- et seller, every campaign Collector and every handout seeker can make his daily demands. The businesS-' man is obligated to belong to every organization in . the • community where a fee is charged, whether he is interested or not. Now perhaps you aren't 'worry- ing too much aboutsthis .poor busi- nessman, having your own particulars.. set of problems to, keep you busy.. Just one point, however. If the re- wards of business continue to-dimin- ish an.d.the problems to increase, we are going to have a lot less business-, es in the course of the next ten.years. And as a direct result there are go- , ing to he a lot less jobs floating around for your sons and daughters when they emerge from high school and college. It is not only the small business which is affected. Mano- .facturers and service industries are' all feeling the same burden. The health of the entire Canadian econ- omy is being injured. Certainly there will always be business operations-but not neces- sarily operated in the free atmos- phere which pertains today.,, When enough businessmen have been chas- ed out of the picture it will be neces- sary for the,government to step into the field, And that, my friends, is socialism.

Just as the artist removes the scaffold from which he works, so. Goa will re- move the scaffolding of our body and reveel the beauty or otherwise of the work we have been tieing. The success of our work will' depend on how close we look .at and obey the first part of our text,. • "Beholding God's face in righteousness', lie is our example the standard of perfection H wish- es us to. attain. This perfection Conies through suffering as well ihs joy. Suffering which 'produces Angelo was employed to decorate the shadows and reveals more the interior of the Sistine Chapel in. clearly the brightness of the joy; thus making the picture 'per. feet, 13y Prayer, by influences of God's horse, by pleasure, by busi- ness, by' reverses, by success, by failure, by what strengthened our confidence, by what took it down, by things rejoiced over and those mourned over, In fact by all God's workings in us, This is accom- plished not by our Own plan' but by the divine pattern. The measure of our happiness is "That we shall. 'be satisfied with What has been done for 'Os". No. human being can really stand on earth- and say "I. am satisfied". But when God has 2.ompleted His work in our lives here on earth we shall be presented faultless be- fore the presence of Ibis glory, with exceeding joy, It is then that we shall be able to say in truth, "I shall be satisfied, when I awake with thy likeness". or position can de is satisfy the. body, adding lustre and glow to it, Social standing, wealth or partly done work brings •Itttle if any satisfaction. David did not envy people of whom he speaks, their happiness, he knew something much finer and better, His satin- faction was to come. It wool() seem as though he had a taste of that sacred glory of which he was yet to have a full feast. Henry W. Beecher tells of the Pope who was head of the Roman catholic ChUrch when. Michael. Rome. The Pope asked that the scaffold he removed so he could see the glowing colours that, with matchless skill, were being laid on. Not until the artist was finished ttotdd the scaffolding be removed, and then it seemed as if heaven it- self opened and you looked into the courts of God, and angels and so It will be with us, the scaffolding of our lives will be removed and we shall be seen as we really are, The time when' this complete happiness was to be. bis "When I awake in thy likeness", • David no doubt, refers to the time when he would have finished his course and he presented faultless before the throne. of God.

As we ,are slightly better than knee-deep in June, it seems a good time to examine the peculiarities of summer, as it applies to the male ofthe species. Age and ap- preciation of summer are closely related, and one of these days some earnest graduate student will do a thesis on it.' When I was 10, summer stretched %ahead endless and alluring, It was at least six months long, That's the best age of all for a. boy. Be hasn't a worry in the world. Tie doesn't care what he looks like, He has no work to do, and girls are of no interest whatever, He lives in a world of brilliant colors and sharp sensations, in which the dividing line between the real and the imaginary is almost, nonexis- tent., ,This kid can swim in void water until his lips are bluer than tie. eyes, Be can play half Air: inibre in a blazing sun that would knock out a camel. He can eat an entire meal in four minutes. Anti at the end of a long, long day, he sleeps as limp and motionless as a wet towel, Wouldn't it be nice to he 10 again, when the summer taste forever and is always hot and smells good? If 10 is the best age. for a boy', in summer, 7.5 is the 'worst. The young' fellow whose parents are not loaded with the stuff must take a job, and he envies bitterly the rich kids who are off to camp or cottage. If his parents are wealthy, he resents having to go to the cottage, with a lot of darn women and little: kids, and wants to get a summer job, like all his friends, At .1.5, the young male is acutely. *Ware of; girls; his parents, who are, practically morons; his eom- plexion, which makes him feel suicidal; ears, Which are unattain- able; money, of which he never has enough; and girls. Summer is pure torture for this bird. who winds up falling in love with son)e brown legged girl who is aiet visiting for three weeks, and writ- ing her 'soulebaring letters for at least two months after school 1•1?, mune* By the time our male specimen reaches hie 20s, slimmer is once again a choice period. thinly trouble is, it's not long enough. He works bard, 'plays hard. He'll drive a hundred miles to fish; he'll play 27 holes of golf; or he'll dance until dawn. With no visible de- crease in stamina: He has the world by the tail, a car on a down payment,' a girl in every reedit town,. nothing in the bank and little more in hie head, aside .from a pretty good opinion of himself. Summertime was made for hint, Let's take a look at the same operator 15 years later. What? It can't be, Not that flabby, worn- looking ' remnant tanning home from work on a sun-utter evening with his shirt all stuck to him, and the martyr's expression! Watch him as he picks up the tricycle front the, front walk, suveys the lawn _dejectedly, -goes into „the hawse and heads straight for the refrigerator. It's the same guy, all right. Only now. he's •-in what is known as '"the: prime of life." -He's at the age when he's, "getting established." This means he's working himself silly at the offthe. or the factory, so he can keep up the payments on the house, so be can come home and acquire himself - • a coronary cutting the lawn. • He has ehildren,. a mort- gage, and six payments to go on his car. His wife ;doesn't appre- ciate. him. At-.his age, it doesn't matter much whether it's summer or winter. • When a man gets into the. GOs, summer should be a time of peace earl leisure pleasure.

Picnic Many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Pym of Kincardine were dis- turbed on Saturday evening when a bulletin on the late television news announced that their son, John, was missing. 7le returned home at midnight. The children had attended a Sun- day School picnic at Southampton that afternoon. John arid another lad, Ray Mahood, were being trans- llotted horde by ear but the driver's vehicle, broke dawn. They had ap- parently sent word hack to Kin- cardine that they 'were having ear trouble but the Message had not reached Mrs, Pyrn. The boys arrived home a, little Psalm 17:13 There Is a story told that when President Harding was installed in :the high Office of President of the ' Hatted State; he was visited by a young Pastor from his home G t-larch. In the course of the con- versation the new President asked the Pastor if he had prepared his sermon for Sunday? The reply was no. Weil then, said. the Presi- dent, I would like you to preach from this text "I shall be satisfied when I awake in Thy Likeness" Psalm 17:15, Earthly honours did 'not bring the satisfeetion which the soul needs. There finis othing better yet in et ore for the Chris- tian:. There are many thinge which satisfy man from ti,e human standpoint, but only one thing satisfies his Spiritual life and that is to have the likness of God re- Stored in his life, Pallid, the author of these words, would not have been the man after God's own heart if he had not been a man of Prayer. He was master of the sacred art of suppli- cations, He flies to Clod in prayer in. all times of need. He seems in this Psalm to he passing through the, furnace of trial, yet the last verse would reveal that he was unharmed by the flame, This is the triumphant note of victory all can know who live in touch with God. .Satisfaction for David was not attained by worldly gain or position.
