A business man, with a -diecern-
ing eye on present day home life
said, "What we need most today
is some of the religion mother es-
ed to make." The tragic fact is
that many modem mothers are not
making any—they do not care --
they even think they have no need
for religion. But a child always

"'We build a house, but we make
a home. Bricks and, mortar give
us a. house, but love and affeethm
make possible a home." During
Christian Family Week these
words of Norman Cape lead us to
ask the question, "Is your house a
home?'
Every town and village has more
houses than homes. The difference
is found in the atmosphere within
them. A house filled with discord'
and strife, fool 1.enguage and hate-
ful -atmosphere is not a home. An-
other house, -filled with mutual
respect, wholesomeness and trust,
be it ever so humble, is a genidne She will enjoy a choice from ou t assortment of

faith in God and goodness are as
natural, as breathing air.

a house with labor-saving devices
and gadgets galore, but a healthy

this way: after keeping track of 411
his sales and figuring the amount to
be charged to his customers; after
handling all the necessary bookkeep-
ing, etc., he will have collected $300
on sales totalling $10,000. So he
sends the money to the provincial
treasurer, who allows him the muni-
ficent sum of $6.0() for all his work,
which could well have run into sev-
eral hours. Like we said, it is better
than nothing—bat not much,
We have some experience with.
this sales tax question, for printing
firms are required to collect eleven
percent Federal tax on. all. orders.
This tax has to be sent in monthly. If
the printer happens to forget the
payment for a day or two, he is
charged a penalty, which, of course,
he pays out of his own pocket. Nor is
he required to send in the tax only
after he has been paid for the print-
ing, but it is payable by the 15th of
the month following that in which
the customer received the order—
whether it is paid for or not. As a re-
sult, on every account which the
printer fails to collect he loses not
only the value of the paper and labor
involved, but the 'tax which he has
already -forwarded to the receiver-
general.
The final sting as far as the fed-
eral tax is concerned is that he must
send his payment by mail and of
course he has to 1.1Se a government
postage stamp to send the govern-
ment its own money, which he has
collected for the government free of
charge.
one with an ounce of brains
realizes that the provincial govern-
ment had to raise more money. The
cost of the services we ask from gov-
ernment have risen fantastically in
the past ten years—as have our de-
mands. However, it does seem more
than a little rough that the burden of
all the extra work and expense falls
on the retailer, who seems all too
often to be the sitting duck for every
new form of collection system.
The president, Mrs. Fingland,
conducted the business. The supply
secretary reported that the Pres-
byterial bale had been forwarded
and that articles were now being
received for an overseas bale. The
literature secretary congratulated
the members of the WMS on ,have
mg read a total of 256 books dur-
ing 1960.
Mrs. Fingland closed the meeting
with prayer.'

the Deanery rally was held in

superintendent, and Mrs. Walter
Pickford, accompanied the girls.
On their arrival at Trinity
Church a game of thunder and
lightning was played in the base-
ment. The groups from Pordwich,
Gotrie, Gaderich, Clinton and
Wingham then formed in proces-
sion to enter the church for the
service, conducted by Rev. E. C.
Attwell. The banners from each
J.A. were presented, with Jo-Anne
Pickford carrying the one for St.
Paul's.
When, the girls returned to the
basement several games were play-
ed and each group contributed to-
ward a variety program. The Wing-
babe girls gave a group recitation
and Joe-Anne Pickford recited "The
Little Black Sheep.”
The members were then instruct-
ed in making masks and, elanele

people have -been going around,

Then there was that Greek moth-
er, Clytemnestra, She was rather a
lively •old skirt, who, married her
own son, after he grew up and
killed his dad.
He was so annoyed when he
found out that his wife was not
only old enough to be his mother,
but WAS his mother, that he is re-
ported to have plucked out both his
eyes and handed them to her.
It was from this modest begin-
ning that the delightful custom de-
veloped of giving mother a- little
token of your esteem on 'Mother's
Day.
In. Roman times there were
some clear little old mothers, too.
Their only fault was an inclination
to -spoil their. kids, That's what
happened -to Nero. When he was
little 'he was -always playing with
matches. Instead of smacking
him, his mother thought it was
sort of cute. Well, you -know what
kids are, Next thing she knew he
was emperor and tried to burn -the
whole city of Rome.
History is full of these devoted
mothers, who played such a 'splen-

In Many. Casea_ the role that ,a

been given its proper due:

his wife? That Bach had some-

Modern mothers who have a

music festival think they have a.

Mrs. Bach went through, with all
those little -devils hammering alt

In the field of literature, there
are some tender Mother-figures,
also. Some of them were stepmo-

Binary novel. The story opens with
the death of Charlotte Tallent at
a British seaside resort, whence
-he and her husband have gone to
n:3cape the July heat of London.
That is the end of the violence and
even it is an abrupt action •briefly
mentioned.
The span of time is from Friday
evening •to Monday Morning. In
that brief period Tallent becomes
a new man with a different kind Of
life. If that statement sounds trite
be prepared for a surprise, Tal-
lent does not become fear-ridden
nor try to escape. The change in
his life is effected by a chance
encounter with Jane Estridge, She
suspects from the very beginning
that he is troubled by a grave prob-
lem, but she 'begins to fall in
love, Richard is also attracted to
Jane. Our knowledge of Tallent's
situation gives a hint of helper-
manence to all that is said and
-done. Jane's growing regard for-
bide her to probe too deeply,
Almost inevitably the chase
highlights the • latter- half of the
book, Neighbors in his hoarding
house and, friends, puzzled by enig-
matic telephone calls, begin to seek
for the missing Charlotte. It seems
almost incredible that among 80
thousand people at the resort Rich-
ard could not.lose himself, but then
he toyer tried. The solution 'he
chose to his problem May not have
been morally right but was the best
he could discover.
Lovers of suspense novels will
enjoy this book. Possibly it will

thetically written, It is taut With

Do you recall that when. the
Castro revolution was only a few
weeks at the reins of Cuban power
there were hot denials that Com-
munist ideology had any place in the
new regime? Castro himself scream-
ed that the revolution and his party
were wholly Cuban. I,ast week he
had travelled full circle when he an-
nounced that Cuba has become a so-
cialist country. There will be no more
elections.
When invasion forces struck the
'island three weeks ago they were
met by Russian-made 'AUG fighters,
piloted by Czech airmen, Russian
tanks blocked off the roads that led
from the beach. '
Whether or not Cuba was destin-
ed for the Communist camp from the
outset, we don't know. More than
likely it was. Certainly, however, the
•;U.S. efforts toprevqnt the formation
of a Soviet satelliteon the American
doorstep were badly handled -from
the beginning. As one reads the
efneeging- details about- LT.S. sponsor-
gliip of the recent attack on Cuba, it
'seems incredible that any responsible
government could litingle so badly.
Throughout 'the entire episode Nye
were left with a feelingof deep sym-
pathy for Anthony F,den, -who saw a
similar situation arising in the
United Arab Republic a s'few years
ago, and decided, as the Americans
did this time, that direct action was
the only answer, Unlike the Ameri-
cans, however, the move against
Nasser was properly planned and
carried out. It would unquestionably
have achieved success had it not been
for the intervention of guess who?
The Americans, of course,
Certainly the U.S. sponsored at-
tack on Cuba was open to debate.
Mr. Kennedy decided that phsyical
force was needed to dislodge the
threat to his southern flank. We are
in no position to Say that he was
wrong, But it doesn't take any great
genius to recognize that the attack
should either have been strong
enough to succeed ; or left entirely
alone, The net result is a danger-
ously embarrassing situation, not
only for the United States but for
the entire Western world.

HOTELS SHOULD PAY
Last. week we were talking with
one of the striking employees of the
Royal York Hotel in Toronto, where
union demands have been. made for
higher wages. Frankly we couldn't
blame him too much.
The old "tipping" system, of
course, still prevails and many of the
employees of the hotels receive only
a nominal salary, apparently as low
as $30 a week in some instances. The
balance-of the take-home pay is made
,up by the gratuities which the em-
ployees receive from the hotel's
patrons.
We have heard the argument that
hotels could not do away with tip-
ping, because the customers want to
.make these handouts. Truthfully,
though there may be a small percent-
age of the ostentatious type who
want to show they have lots of cash,
we seriously doubt that the average
person enjoys tipping,
Three years ago ,we were per-
sonally concerned with the arrange-
ments for a large convention in one
of the Toronto hotels. As the finan-
cial structuee for the two-day meet-
ing was being set tip we were .sttr-
prised to find that meals which
would ordinarily sell for three to
four dollars in the main dining room
were priced up to seven dollars each
when they were being served to our
largegroup, with a guaranteed num-
ber of guests. This in ,spite of the fact
that several hundred rooms in the
same hotel were occupied and paid
for by our delegates. The final blow
came when the total figure was
reached and the hotel manager calm-
ly announced that there would be an
additional ten, percent for gratuities.
Perhaps it 's tittle the hotels paid
proper wages to. their employees and
pat All end to the tips. Then every-
one * management, employees..and
customers would all know where
they were at.,

It will be enjoyed, T ani sure, by

warn those who have a lukewarm
regard for such books that they
will not like this one, Those of us
whose pulses race a little under
-the stimulus of suspense real or
read-about, will find this a very
satisfactory evening's entertain-
ment. It contains a spot of vio-
lence and a little social laxity
which will offend the squeamish.
They should not distress them-
selves with the book, however, but
leave it to thoSe, for whom the ex-
