Civilized man. is a singular crea

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

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.

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.

Yes, I'm afraid deer hunting is
not :a sport. It's .a cult, like 'Teddy
Boys or Beatniks or Existentialists.
It's a reaction against the decad-

ness of the November woods, I
can't refrain from giving three
small, silent cheers for good old
decadence.
