Train up a child in the way he
should go—Proverbs 22:0.
Here is a little story taken from
"The Church altssenger” which,
should be read by all parents. and
if put into practice will bring peact •
and joy,
"Father was driving his children
to Sunday School. Peter was 12 and
Jane 10, Jane talked all the way
About the Sunday School children
about the teaeher. and about the
pastor. Peter was very very quiet
that morning. When they got to the
church, Jane j0Mni'd Out Of UV
car; but Peter turned to his clad
and said: 'Dad, I don't want to go
to Sunday School'. His father was
• rather surprised and osked: 'Why
not?' Do you not yoor teach-
er?' 'Yes, but I can't s e why
should go to Sunday School. There
are lots of kids that do:i't go lc
Sunday School; why should I go?
You just bring us to Sunday School
and then you drive away till tht
school is over. You always come to
pick Jane and me up when Pa.
We made one of our infrequent
dashes into the bright lights re-
cently, and, as usual, emerged like
a couple of slightly singed moths,
dazzled, delighted, and determined
to do it again at the first oppor-
tunity, which will probably he about
1962.
Every time we arrange for a big
night in the city, we plan to
dawdle, live graciously, sip wine
with our dinner by candlelight, and
arrive at the theatre calm, 'compos-
ed, and with that poise and hauteur
typical of the seasoned theatre-
goer,
It never turns out that way.
We don't dawdle, we hurtle, We
barrel down the highway as though
we were in the Grand Prix de Mon-
aco Scramble fora parking place.
Sprint to the Press Club. Choke
doWn a double. -Run to a restau-
rant, Gobble our dinner. Dash to
the theatre. And gallop down the
,aisle just as the lights are going
'down for-the third. time. Halfway
through the first act, I have to
battle a massive desire to fall
sound asleep.
If you can't give the old lady a
mink coat this year, next best
thing to ginger her rip is a night on
the town. All you have to do is
sell a cattle beast, or get a hot
streak in a poker game, so you can
stand the tariff.

Our last jaunt was no exception.
But it's worth the effort, the
money, and thei nervous strain to
get out of the rut once in a while
and live in the style in which
you'd be living all the time if
your grandfather had had some
sense, and had homsteaded a sec-
tioa at the middle of the Leduc
oil fields, instead of settling for
that stony patch in Upper Canada,
We had tickets for the new musi-
eal, Camelot, which was having its

One of the results of new technol-

medical treatment is the vastly
greater number of older people who
survive diseases and accidents which
25 years ago would have been fatal.
As a consequence many of us have
reason to thank God. that the lives
.)f those near and dear to us have
been spared,
The fulfilment of the goal, how
ever, is still not within our grasp,

years happy and useful. In plain
truth, the blessing of longer life is a.

This particular. situation cannot

even on public apathy.* Rather it is

HAVE WE WATER TO
WASTE?
Some of our greatest blessings
we take so much for granted! The
one we are thinking of at the mo-
ment is the abundant supply of pure,
sweet water we enjoy in this part of
Ontario.
After a few days last week spent
in the Lake lrie district, we have a
new sense of thankfulness, for down
in that region the water is suitable
only for the inside• of a steam engine,
Next time we go that way the old
reliable picnic jug will go along,
with a supply of Wingham N ater
for human consumption.
Because there has always been.
lots of good water here, it is not ,
safe to assume that there always
will be. Consumption of water in
this area is increasing by leaps and
bounds, and those who have some
expert knowledge of wells and water
supplies, tell us that the level of the ,
underground water table is steadily
falling,.
Because 'there is no proof that
our water will always be available •
in such abundance, the system of
farm pond's which has been establish-
ed by the conservation authorities
to the south is particularly impor-
tant. 'With hundreds of these ponds
now in use, the demand for under-
ground water has been reduced by
millions of gallons a month. The
ponds, of course, conserve the supply
of surface water which falls in the
form of rain or .snow and would.
ordinarily be drained off into the
rivers and so lost. As long as live-
stock can be watered from the ponds
the conservation of the priceless un-
derground resources can be cof1
tinned.
Fortunately the deeper wells in
this area have so far remained re-
liable and we have not faced any
serious shortages; but farther south
there is serious discussion of a pipe-
line system to bring lake water into
the settled :areas. Sound conser-
vation policieg applied here, at once,
might save us from a similar pre-
dicament,
Another aspect of the situatior
is, the industrial requirements of an
increasingly mechanized civilization
With expanding industry, some, of
which we would like to see in our
own community, comes the need for
ever greater supplies of water. if we
are to .have any hope of attracting
industry to this area we must guar-
antee that - the water which is noW
sn plentiful will never dwindle ,away
through our own thoughtlessness.
KEEP THIS OUT OF
CANADA
It is most devoutly to be hoped,
says The Financial Post, that Can-
ada does not adopt TV debate as a
method of selecting its political
leaders. That the leadership of the
free world should be, to such an ex-
tent, determined by this dreadful
device, is quite appalling.
Kennedy and Nixon have both
provided top-notch entertainment.
'They are both top-notch debaters.
They both have quite remarkable
memories. They both have fast
minds and glib tongues.
The trouble of course is that
these- are not qualities which have
much, if anything, to do with the
quality of the men, with their real
understanding.of affairs, with their
Judgment or with their real wisdom.
Already the miseries of public
life are great. But to let it become
established that all candidates for
senior office must expose themselves
to the tawdry spectacle of a TV de-
bate will mean that many very able
people who could probably serve
their country well, will totally re-
fuse to participate.

Nov. 1st, 1960.
Dear Sir:
Today, November 1st, is' a very
appropriate and ideal day to make
the best plans for next year's
Halowe'ent Not next week or
next October! What influences me
to venture such a suggestion?
Early this morning as I drove
through our town, I noticed -two
men, not very young men, bard at
work, faced with the problem of
cleaning the school windows be-
fore the arrival of the children.
T also saw several working people
using up their energy doing un-
called for work, cleaning soaped
and smeared windows. Then I be-
gan to think of the large number
of people, young and old, strong
and weak, who would start today's
work by cleaning windows- soaped
and splattered by the very child-
ren who were so kindly and liber-
ally served with goodies last night.
And Hallowe'en 'is supposed to
be an evening of real fun for
grown-ups and children alike, I
know that the majority of them
really enjoyed themselves. I was
pleased to receive many children
and several good sports, am re-
ferring instead to a smaller group
of so-called funny children and
so-called mature youth who think
IL real, fun to spend Hallowe'en
soaping windows and causing
damage to the property of others.
Sc depraved is their sense of ho-
Onor and fun that, they feel it a
right aid privilege to do as they
please on Hallowe'en.
Such an attitude of mind and
manner of conduct is certainly
contrary to 'our Christian concept
of justice and charity, These young"
people lack respect for the goods
of others and consideration for the
feeling of others.
, Now, if the majority of people
and children know and desire fun,
why should the majority of people
be subject to the selfish whims of
the feW? To throw- our.arina',Up do
