Though he is, in our age,. so knowledgeable about all the intricate arts and sciences, he is not too \Veil acquainted with himself. Ile knows little about his own physical devel - opment and even less about the men - tal processes by which he is gov- erned. In his long climb upward toward civilization there have been a few outstanding plateaus — those times when he learned something new , . . discoveries of .such importance that the entire course of his destiny was. altered. Among these events would be the day upon which the first of our ancestors discovered that with a sharp stick, and his human cunning he could kill and eat an animal much larger and more powerful than him- self. Certainly another dynamic dis- covery was that the fire he had al- ways feared could be controlled aq employed for his own well-being. These were rudimentary discov- cries, Much later he learned by ob- servation that he could move ,a heavy stone more readily on a couple of rolling logs than by dragging it over the bare ground and so he spent the next few centuries arriving at the wheel, which, of coarse started him on the path to scientific matur - ity. Thousands of years were to pass before the greatest discovery of all was made. Only five hundred years ago. the first printing press was invented. Though he failed to un- derstand the full significance of his discovery for many years, he had, nevertheless, uncovered the springs from which mental growth and en- lightenment would ever afterward be fed. • No single event has had more lasting influence upon mankind than the -printing of books. 'Within the fist hundred years after the inven- tion of the printing press people all over the civilized world were stirring With the -new knowledge that they were not necessarily chained by ig- norance to the slavery of feudal life. With awakened imagination -they be- BARGAIN PRICES Most of us are a bit blue this week. We have just paid, or we are about to pay the taxes. We are in- clined to grind our teeth and swear to elect a new council. Taxes we don't like — in any way, shape or form. . This attitude is understandable ..until we pause to think about just how much our tax money buys. Right here in Wingham the average taxpaY'er gets a lot for his yearly Suppose your taxes are $200. What do you get in return? In front of your home you have, a sidewalk and a pretty passable' roadway. At your call you have a fully modern fire truck, as well as an ,arrned policeman to protect your property. Up on the hill - you have a modern public school, a brand new high. school and super-efficient hos- pital. You have a snow ploughing service which permits you to operate your car at all times; you have a truck calling .around every week to take away your garbage . . . plus a dozen and one other services about which yott never think at all. rust jot down all these services and opposite them put the figure you, would have to pay if you went out to get them on your own, without the co-operation of your neighbours, who, in the aggregate become the Town of Wingh.am. If you're still unhappy, remem- ber that you have an alternative. Yon can always build a shack in the bush — Your 'taxes won't be very high . and neither will. your stan- dard of living.

O- i) -0 FIFTEEN 'YEARS AGO A very serious fire occurred at the Canada ?stokers plant on Tuesday afternoon, which practical- ly gutted the interior, The blaze started when sparks from a cut- ting torah ignited in the old engine room, Workmen Were engaged in removing the old diesel entriee, which had not been in use since gala, to seek out new lands. It?ro- found changes swept over daily lives, They began to think. They made their first forks, their first .chimneys„ their first bedsprings. Sweeping out beyond the confines of personal and immediate snrround - ings men and women everywhere be gall to strive for WSW forms of wor- ship, new forms of government, new avenues to freedom. From, such be - ginnings came our present way of life. If there is any one thought to be gained from a review of this kind it is that our world will not stand still. What may seem the ultimate perfection in our generation will he nothing more than the clumsy in- adequacies of the past to our chil- dren ,and grandchildren. How, then, do we prepare our own offspring to enter the unchart- ed seas of the future? Certainly we send them to our schools, where they learn nothing more than what is already known. We inculcate standards of behaviour and moral responsibility which, we hope, will prove adequate for unmet hazards and temptations. We pro- vide them with the best of food and care so that their bodies will be strong and right there we stop, \Wien we stop at that point we have failed. Most urgent of all is the need to stir up within their minds that unquenchable thirst for more and ever more knowledge which will allow the progress of a rapidly changing world to pass them by. Books, .. the best of books . . the books from the past and the ones which seek to probe the future, must be readily available to the child who will be tomorrow's man or woman. The destiny of all the countless gen- erations to come may well be in our hands at this moment as we carry the responsibility for the mental energy of our own children. Nothing—no other single influ- ence, and there are many—can take the place of the books your child can read, the questions these books stimulate and the move onward to the next book whiCh will-answer the first series of questions, and in turn, ask for even more and deeper understanding-. Thank God, books are available in great plenty. No longer are they chained to a pillar .in the church. They are around its on every side ... in our libraries, our schools, our churches. For reasonable price we can have them in every room in our homes. Let us hope that our chil- dren will respect them and use them in the way they can best serve — as steps upon which our civilization may mount to new heights of under- standing. MORE CONTROL NEEDED We would like to agree, with Councillor Don Nsmith's con- tention that traffic lights are a ne- cessity for this town. They are not a luxury; they are not just. a modern gadget—they are a necessity for the safety of our youngsters. Our schools being located where they are, a high percentage of the children are forced to cross the main street four times every day. It is a physical impossibility, under the present system, for the officer on duty at any one time, to provide full protection for the children. He has many duties to take care of .and 111S1,11 y times a month these duties prevent hint from being at the main intersection when he is needed there. Traffic lights are the only sure- fire answer . . the only method of stopping traffic to provide a safe crossing for the. youngsters. We are quite aware that there are complications to be dealt with before lights can be installed. The regulations of the Department of :Highways have to he met,.etc. But let's get into action and do some- thing about it. Our town is pretty modern. We pride ourselves on having the latest and the best. There is no room for pride, however, in a traffic control system which fails to meet the needs of the present day. rIt/te The Wirighava tlivaltifseAlmes, WednetiilaY• Wily, Mfr id,#a1N. ............. ....... ... ........ .. ... .......... ...... .. .... * ..

Can we deny that in our own day the high standards of social life are rapidly degenerating, that departures from pure and good ideals do not appear sinful or wrong to many people and that we "Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink , The woman saith unto hiln, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw."

They ranged. from the fellow who sneaks. out for an hour or two before and after work, through the type who has taken a week off and skipped a payment on the ear so he can afford to get away with his gang, to the big shot who - makes the trip in a si4itiou wagon, with a cook, a case of whiskey and a crew'of kin- dred spirits. It isn't ' just the hunting that draws them to ' those vast, frozen swamps and burns.. It isn't pure bloodlust. The true limiter will know what I mean. After all, any- one can sit in a warm house, after a good dinner, and watch televis- ion.
