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?

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.

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 trial flight in that new hper hall Toronto; built by that brewer with the Irish name.

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, for though. many older people have been granted added years of lifer all „.too many of them lie helplessly with in our hospitals. Science has found. extra years for them. but it has not yet found a means to make those years happy and useful. In plain truth, the blessing of longer life is a. doubtful one in many cakes. This particular. situation cannot be blamed upon any one group or even on public apathy.* Rather it is a phase which no doubt will pass with time — when there are more trained workers to enter the nursing and medical professions. A great number of the helpless old peo ple in. our hospitals could be aided ire :Mendously by the services of well- trained physiotherapists — hut the latter are practically unobtainable. A physiotherapy service was 7. started -in the Wingha.m General Hospital a year ago, hut when the nurse who was handling the work was no longer able to carry on; a re- placement was sought in vain. Spec- ial diet is another very important factor in the rehabilitation of the aging, after illness has wasted their bodies, but once again there are not enough specially trained dieticians to implement such a program in many of the hospitals where care is given to older people. Before too many years have pass- ed, when-our social welfare programs have advanced somewhat, we will see special hospitals all over the pro- - vince, where care of the aged will be • a is I AM A 'CAPITALIST 1.

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. •v•I• •viii•Wiii•411,••1••••••••• .... • .. ....... .. ,•••••••••• ......••••14•••.••• .. • . •4111940,0 Rev. 0. F. Johnson, L,Tb. St. Paul's Church, Wingham parents have done, like the father in the story, only half the job. They have sent them to Sunday 'School; but they have not set theexample of Church-going. By this parental indifference, many 'boys. and girls have drifted into social and moral difficulties.

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?
