Of course, sometimes the person who cannot solve a problem, or reach a goal, succumbs to another way out, it says. This results in the Emotional Explosion, or, as you old- fashioned lay people might term it,• the temper tantrum. This is usually produced in babies by a restriction of some sort, such as holding their arms. It is produced in exactly the same way in ladies who are trying to clobber you. They become even more violent when you wrap your leg around theirs, so they can't kick You on the shins. This requires a good deal of facility in standing on one leg. Just call me "Stork."

Mrs. Iris Mor- rey and her staff have always been prompt and efficient in their duty and not one complaint can I ren- der. Their meals, whether fluid diet, soft diet, low salt diet or re-- guiar diet were wonderful and there is no complai nt 'there. But my beef is these radios that blare at the top. A good Many times the nurses have turned theta down and as soon as their ,baelts are turned the patients torn the01 up al,ain. I think that radios should be restricted from all hos- pitals. What a noise! Furthermore I believe only one entrance should be used to enter hospital at visiting hours and that all the tickets should be ready, both afternoon and evening and restricted to immediate relatives of sick people, such as fathers or mo- thers, wives or husbands, brothers or sisters, sons or daughters, of age to visit—and let the neighbors and friends send their cards of good wishes. There should be no restrictions on ministers' visits, or the Salva- tion Army, Another thing that Wingham Hospital needs is a re- covery room for patients. The smell of anaesthetic at meal hours upsets the patients' stomachs. I've been an anaesthetic patient a good many times and heard the com- plaint. So a recovery room it sure needed. I'm for more and harder restric- tions at hospitals.

This is quite unlike any of Hersey's other books, but it is still written with skill and artistry, and deep perception of basic values. The Chinese place tames as always have picturesque charm and the descriptive passages are breath- takingly vivid. The second book ,is a suspense story and as some of you know enjoy good books of this type. This is one of the best. It Won the Dodd Mead award for the best mystery Written by a professor in an Am- erican or Canadian college. Miss Hull is on the staff of Columbia University and has written several books before thit one. The setting is one about which the author knows a great deal, namely the English faculty of an American 'University. There can be apparently a sinis- ter sidd to college life and not as one might expect among wild stti- debts but earneat porfessors, their wives and secretaries, It's a faseln- atifig theory and convincingly.pre- seated. The book is more polished than the average mystery story— after all, it deals With English pro- feSsors—lant there is hatred, schem- ing And suspense; there is a plot to murder which leads to death and more death. The characters are believable; the tension builds up satisfactorily and the chilling een-elusion against Which Professor Macemeny fought unsuccessfully at tild end leaves one breathless and wondering. Both good books for sunlit simi,= ricer days or long holiday evenings. „Iwo 111010014000011,0130.0100010/0011000tiormogamallialacitamach,' •-- Rid -or ew .Z.Ip Zest: i R YI DERFIRKES,1-1' ;NG - COOLING IDA jitli E HALTH SALTS 1 i i a .....MV ....__ 69c i i a -7* a _eSpcial Prices i iii ...

No longer is that so. However, I have gained much pleasure in the past few weeks from two books in par- ticular. They are: A SINGLE PEBBLE by John Hersey and A TAPPING ON THE WALL by Helen Hull The first was published about five years ago and is a short account of a young American engineer's trip by junk up the Yangtze River. His purpose is to decide upon a possible location for a great dam to be built in the future. As the forty or More trackers pull the junk over difficult stretches of Water, so is he pulled into an ancient era of living. At first he is impatient with this un- hurried, laborious way of doing things, but gradually be g rows to wonder at and eveh accept Some of ite values, The inhabitants of the kink are unforgettable—the owner is a man of grim persistence against all obstacles; his young wife Su-?ling explains willingly the leg- ends of her people, in particular those concerning the river; the cook proves to be a man of con- siderable importance and authority, and the 'head tracker makes the river his whole life, pitting his knowledge against its power.

Af- ter reading it over, especially the editorial, "Does This Mean You?", I decided to write in regard to vis- itors, restrictions and noise (in the hospitals). In 1943 I first entered a hospi- tal as a patient and I have spent most of the years since then as a patient between three hospitals, but the past 12 I've been confined to one hospital alone, Wingham.

Aside from the fact that the con- entice is being held at Aston Villa. one of the most beautiful resort hotels in Muskoka, we have little in- clination to attend, for we would be classed with the hopeless if hand- writing were the criterion—and we wouldn't lack for company in that division. Handwriting, which once was a real art, has degenerated at a fright- ening pace during the past few years. There are many reasons, of course, One of the strongest being that there is no longer the drastic need for the art. Typewriters carry so many of today's messages that writing has fallen ,into disuse.. The alarming thing, however, is that the children graduating from priblic school seem to be slipping where writing is concerned. A. 1960 bulletin from the Department of Education lists poor handwriting as the cause of many failures in Grade XIII exams. The Penman's Associ- ation believes that printing should be stricken from the curriculum because it slows down the students' thinking 4$ well as. their writing. When we learned to write the exact form of letters and the direc- tion in which they should slope was laid down by the Department of education in a text hook or "copy book" as we called it. The copy book provided the perfect model which each child was expected to strive for. Now, however, the youngsters start out with printed letters, graduate to a system of hooking the printed let- ters together and then proceed to writing itself. However, there seems to be quite a difference of opinion between teachers as to whether or not the letters should slope to right or left or stand straight up. Results for the child's handwriting are dis- astrous. • Surely if any success whatever is HOPEFUL, MAYBE HELPFUL • Criticism of the Hon. Mr. ing's latest budget rightly will centre on the fact that the corporation tax rate in Canada is much too high. The effeCt of such a tax rate is' to raise the costs of. everybody, both export- ers and manufacturers for the do- mestic market, to such a point that exports are too costly and competi- tion -from imports is difficult to meet, No one ever seems to be able to sell the idea .in the department of-fi- nance that a reduction in tax rates could easily produce more revenue for the same reason that in the field of merchandizing it often happens that both sales and profits increase as prices decline. Subject always to this situation of tax rates too high, the budget in 1961 is probably hopeful and, it is hoped, helpful. The final relinquish- ment of the special tax of 7y2 % on automobiles should be helpful, not only to that industry but to others that are in part suppliers of the auto- mobile industry. The general effect of these tax changes and reductions possibly is the best feature. In any event, no seg- ment of Canadian industry is hurt and the plans for reducing the value of the Canadian dollar in terms of the U.S. dollar should be helpful in every part of the economy, excepting for those people Whose spending money is in U.S. turrenc The Printed, Word, The Winghant Advance.Titnes Published at Wingham, OntatIO Wenger Brothers, PtiblisherS W.

HURON'S LOSS At the end of this month Rev. R. G. MacMillan, who has been director of the Huron County Children's Aid Society fox- a little over a year, leaves. to assume the ministry of the Pres- byterian Church in Oakville. There is no denying Dr. MaeMillaifs great worth as a minister of the Gospel, and the good people of Oakville will certainly gain a fine clergyman, Neveretheless, it is with sincere regret that we see him leave his present post, Child welfare grow's more demanding each year, and ap- parently the available qualified workers become fewer and farther between. Dr, MacMillan brought to the directorship of the Children's Aid Society in this county a long .exper- ience in child welfare problems, plus 'a deep and sympathetic understand- ing of the children themselves. One might be led to the belief that in this era of great, prosperity the number of cases in which children must have protection other than in their own homes would be decreas- ing. We have always associated child care problems, with poverty only. Such is not the case. In fact, the prosperous times which have revail - ed in recent years have, probably, added to the burden of responsibility. Couples are marrying at earlier ages, and as a consequence are often ill equipped, - mentally. and financially, to assume the attitudes and respon, sibilities of parenthood. Another factor, of -course, is the great number of young mothers who are working, ,and to some degree,. neglecting their families. The pros- perity of which we are.so proud has been accompanied by extremely high. cost of living and in many cases mothers simply must work to make ends meet. The day has long since passed when children who become wards of the CAS can be dumped into a "shelter" and forgotten until they are 16. Studies which have been in pro- gress for years all indicate that such treatment often accomplishes noth- ing more than the production of an- other maladjusted person — and all too often another future inmate of a penal 'institution. - It is persons of Dr. MacMillan's calibre who are waging the battle against this most serious of all social diseases—the unwanted child. Hun- dreds of people in all branches of child and family welfare work across the province are devoting their lives to the cause. We feel that Dr. Mac- Millan will he a hard man to replace. SEE YOU LATER Our thanks to the hundreds of readers and others concerned with this newspaper, who have refrained from bugging us to death since last week, about the announcement that the issues of both August 16th and 23rd will be missing.
