THiS IS HO TIME. TO BE BORED
June' 8th has been set as the (ate
of the federal election. The an-
nouncement (lice not collie as .any
great surprise, for election talk has
been it1 the air for several months.
1?veli the elate was predicted with.
accuracy by many persons who are
keen observers of the Ottawa scene.

THEY HELP THEMSELVES
on Friday iday night of next week
the members of the 1 ions Club will
be calling at your door. They will
ask each householder in \Vingham
to buy a broom. These will not be
just ordinary brooms. They are the
product of iblind workers and pur-
chased from the Canadian National
Institute for the Blind.
The campaign appeals to us in
more ways than one. Firstly. the
(,ions .are offering so?neth.ing of real
value for the money you give. And if
\'ou have never had one of the
brooms made by the blind, you are in
for a new experience in satisfaction.
The brooms are made with that close
attention to high quality which is so
frequently lacking in many of to-
day's products.. In the second place,
the very fact that the blind are do-
ing something worthwhile to help
themselves commends -itself to most
of us. They aren't sitting back with
their hands -out, but rather are an-
xious to make themselves useful and
prodiuctive.

From the earliest• bines men have

spring. The sense of re -birth, the
freedom from ice and fog and cold
rain has always produced a warmth
of 'spirit that has inspired poetry and
song.
Some Canadians get a vee bit

we can't really get very much work-

Secretary of commerce in. the United

of his .fellow -countrymen "economic

ly to be approved by political speak-

is the prevalent thought (in Canada
as well as the U.S.) that we can all
get richer by working less. The
thought is probably one that the

ONE MtMENT, PLEASE.!
"Ile is Risen", has been declared
and preached, sung and heard by a
multitude of people since It was.
first declared by the angel of .old.
You and I have heard this familiar
phrase again and again within the
last few days. J-ias it changed your
life, your thinking, your attitudes?
The last chapter in Matthew's ac-
count of the Life of Jesus tells as
something of what occurred in the
lives of those early disciples, Un-
derline if you will those expressions
that point out ACTION following
the Resurrection. "Go quickly",
"quickly" "did run" "go tell", in
mmmurmnmt!mmttnnn,,u,uun ... mmrnrm,,,
fart, the passage seems 'to come
alive with the sense of immediacy
and urgency as these disciples
were caught by the responsibility of
the Resurrection.
Tell me something, Compare if
you will the present sense of ur-
gency that captures our Church
and Church people and see if we
are motivated with the same sense
of urgency and responsibility as
that which characterized the group
of eleven men following the Resur-
rection, A foolish question brings
forth a foolish response, There is
no sense of immediacy, no sense

of urgency, we simply (10 not wish
to be disturbed.
I write these thoughts, in mild
that they will be )rad only by those
who are in any sense "religious".
Even with this limitation in mind,
may I suggest that Easter and the
message of the Resurrection must
be first experienced and practiced
by those who claim Jesus Christ
as Lord. It is only these who are
possessed by the Risen Lord who
are in turn to be overwhelmed by
a sense of,immediacy and captured
afresh with the same sense of
urgency as caught those who were
present that first Easter morn.
SUGAR
and
SPICE
■o By Bill Smiley,
I started thinking about busts
the other night while I was watch-
ing French film featuring the
little, lithe sexpot, Brigitte Bardot.
That's like saying you started
thinking of music white you were
watching an orchestra. play. But
no matter.
And just to get things perfectly
clear, I don't mean bust's of famous
men, reproduced in plaster, and
sitting on a pedestal. I mean busts
on ladies,
The disgusting part of it is that
I started thinking about busts in a
clear, cold, scientific, analytical
way. As Gypsy Rose Lee, or Gert-
rude Stein, or somebody once said,
"A bust is a bust is a bust." .And
that's the way I feel about R.
It happened while I was watch-
ing Mlle. Bardot snaking her way
through a movie, in which rumour
was treated in the boisterous matt.
ner so startling to us Anglo-Sax-
ons, from whom all it usually elic-
its is a hollow laugh.
0-0-0 .
It was my first view of the young
lady. I understand she is the sec-
ond citizen of France, after Gen-
eral de Gaulle. And I'm here to
tell you that she is definitely bet-
ter looking than the General,
though not, perhaps, as tall.
I'm not blaming Bardot for my
lapse Into bust -pondering, though
she was all she was plumped up
to be.
No, the fault was mine, net hers.
After watching her with some in-
terest for a few minutes, I became
first embarrassed, then mildly dis-
approving, then bored, then lust
plain sleepy. About half way
through this process, I had sense
enough to say to myself, "Boy,
either you're ready to be put out
to pasture, or you need a darn good
spring tonic." •
I can tell you that it's pretty dis-
turbing to a chap who has leered
his way through the burlesque
houses of Detroit's Woodward Av-
enue,, in the heigh-day of Scurvy
Miller, eaten peanuts in the pit at
the old Casino in Toronto, and
ducked out for a drink between
rounds of pure art at London's
Windmill Theatre, to realize that
he's blushing slightly at the sight
of a young lady who is not only not
there in person, but has some of
her clothes on.
It's chilling to think that, per-
haps, the young sap has been boil-
ed down to an old fudge. When
you know that you're supposed to
be sitting bolt upright, wide-eyed
and electrified, it hurts to realize
that•you are slumped• in your seat,
hand in the popcorn bag, mouth
pursed primly, head shaking and
tongue very close to tut -tutting, In
disapproval.
-0-0
It is disconcerting to find that
you are craving a smoke in the
middle of a big pash scene. It is
disgusting to have to give in to it,
and go to the back of the theatre
and fight up, just as the young
temptress is launching into ,11 dis-
creet striptease.
And it is devastating to learn
that you have nodded off, and your
wife is bashing you in the ribs,
just at the point where the cele-
brated Miss B, is making a monkey
out of 'the censors.
It was about this point that
t
I
began thinking about busts. Don't
ask me why. It seems to me that
the whole business of busts has got
out of hand, Everywhere we look,
we are stunned by deep -breathing
mammalians of mammoth propor-
tions.
So who's impressed? Other girls,
maybe? Not men, Men have been
marrying women for thousands of
years, and busts have nothing to
do with it,
let tenderness, humor and sym.
pntliy shave in your face, let; good-
ness and pity and love 011ie in
your eyes, and you'll gel a man
faster than i1' you hod the biggest
bust this side of Bali,
0-0-0
Busts cause nothing but trouble.
I remember a girl I knew in col-
lege. Her name was Betsy, She had
a vast bosom, I always called her
"Busty" to myself. One night I
was dancing with her, leaning a
bit. We were chatting and I in-
advertently called her "Busty" in-
stead of "Betsy", Know what hap-
pened? You got it, Mac. She bust
me. Right on the nose,
And maybe that's why I've been
a little psychological about busts
ever since,

Dear Sir:
It is my privilege as president to
express the gratitude of this Foun-
dation for your co-operation in the
1962 March of Dimes Campaign,
The results again exceed the re-
cord set in the preceding year, and
I am happy to report that cam-
paign cost does not exceed seven
and one-half per cent.
Growth in contributions and ec-
onomy in costs are attributable. in
no small measure to the supporting
publicity enjoyed by our volunteer
committees in their respective com-
munities.
Thank you for your help in this
vital community service.
Yours sincerely,
Joseph A. P. Clark,

Mrs. Clarkson. Martin, when friends
and relatives gathered in honor of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Martin,

uel holding the highest scores.
On Friday a large red truck was
standing in front of Hanna's Gar-
age and ,decked out as it was with
ladders and other contraption,
many mistook it for a fire truck.
It turned out to be, however, Reeve
Davidson's new well drilling outfit
which he had just received and
mounted on a truck, This appara-
tus is the very latest in drilling
equipment and it is .mounted on .a
four -ton truck with pneumatic
tires, which makes It very mobile.
