WHAT THEY THINK
OF US
l.,ast week one of our lleighl)onrs
was telling US O1 a recent trig) to Tor,
onto, One of his errands tool: hills
onto a back street in the business
section and he drove around block
alter block looking for a place 1O
park. :Finally he spotted an opening
on the opposite side of the street and
:pulled his car into it. Soon after he
had left the car, with his \rife in it,
,_one .of the trusty bovs in blue came
- along and informed the lady that the
car \vas illegally parked on the
wrong side of the street. She 811010 .
.gizecl profusely and said that her
111151)arncl would mote it as soon as he
returned.
App.arently the officer walked
around the neighborhood and in 1
minutes was back again, this time
really hot. I -le demanded to know
where the driver was and when the
wife said she didn't know, the cop
whipped out the little black hook and
asked \what town was home for the

folded up the book, put away the

never gone back. T was nearly killed
right on the main street 1"
Novv isn't that a fine reputation
to have? And to tell the truth we
think the officer had a good point,
Frankly we have always found driv-

SONGS WITH YOUR SUDS
\V'l)elht'r )•o11 like it or .not, the
'.taid old Province of Ontario is in
r()1' st)1)Ie startling changes ill its
drinking habits,
Announcement \vas made last
week that community singing Will
soon be permitted iii the beverage
rooms. ,1t last the authorities have
Coale to the conclusion that people
who (bink Deer in licensed premises
might as well be permitted to .act as
though they \\'ere happy.
.111 kinds of people in this prov-
ince, including many who enjoy their
beer, are opposed to beverage 1-001ls
-- 811(1 with good reason. These
drinking spots have, in hundreds of
instances. earned themselves evil
reputations. Though irresponsible
management has usually been the
least tl, the laws of the province (lid
little to lift the beer parlour out of
the realm of the undesirable. Take,
as an example, the regulation \vhich
re(fnires the drinkers to remain seat-
ed at a table. 1n an i.,nglish pub the
patrons can gather around the piano
for a sing -5011g, or get up. with their
beer in hand, to join in a game of
darts. :\s a result Old Country pubs
do not require their customers to sit
at a table and concentrate on how
many beers they can down before
closing time, They permit a bit of re-
laxation and social enjoyment at the
satire time.
There is every indication that the
number of beverage 10011i5 \will in-
crease. This is not because the gov-
ernment is particularly anxious t(1
encourage the consumption of beer
it is simply a fact that a majority
of voters across the province want
the beer outlets. And it must be
borne an mind that we live in a land
\\'here the voice of the majority still
prevails.
\\'e have seen lots of beverage
rooms which were not a blot on the
community's reputation. They were
the places where the owners took
their responsibilities seri o u s l v:
\where they conscientiously forestall-
ed drunkeness and rowdyism. if we
are to have more, rather than less
beverage rooms, the move should
most certainly- be accompanied. by a
very much more effective system of
inspection. There is no need to put
tip \with llnwgrade drinking places.
'I'he loss of a license is sonlethin.tt
\which no owner wants to face. If
more licenses were revoked for in-
tringeinents of (recency there would
be less opposition to the establish-
ment of outlets.
We realize that a sizeable seg-
ment of the population takes the un-
alterable stand that beverage rooms,
in any form are a curse. it is true
that !mankind 'would,: perhaps, have
been happier had alcohol never been
discovered -- but the fact remains
that its was discovered --- and has
been poured down human throats
since long before the (lawn of his -
tore, There isn't the remotest pos-
sibility of completely removing the
opportunity to (bink, SO it behooves
tis to use the greatest common sense
in the laws which boar ttpoil its con-
sumption.

j Christianity Is at paradox, for It
Is a story of defeat and of victory,
of sorrow and joy, of the cross and
10f the resurrc'etion. Goal iericiay •
and Easter go hand in hand in the
i Gospel es. they do in life.
Only those who have tried hung
t bly to take up a cross in the service
of the Christ .can fully rxpet•lenc(' 1

Christianity as a means of escape

Well, Mom, how did you make
out on YOUR day, as the advertise-
ments call it? Same old routine, I
suppose: lots of kisses, cuppa tea
in bed; big production of a potted
begonia or stale chocolates: every.
body off to church with a flower
in the buttonhole: rapid dimintish-
ing of interest in the whole pro.
ject; you getting huge dinner and
doing dishes while family rests
after excitement and strain of
Mother's Day.
Just to show you that somebody
cares, I saved my Mother's Day
column until this week. You'll need
a pick-up right about now, as the
realization sinks in that last Sun-
day's fussing over you is a once -
a -year shot, and you are relegated
to your usual functions of house-
hold slave, comedy straight man,
domestic detective, family wailing
wall and unpaid civil servant.
0 - 0 - 0
Don't thank me. It's a. pleasure
to come right out and announce
my firm conviction that mothers
are the finest people in the world -
with the possible exception of
lathers.
Everything I am I owe to my
mother's training. Well, perhaps
not quite everything. She didn't
teach me to shoot pool, play poker,
drink beer, swear and chase afte>:
women, all of which I used to do.
Nor did she show me how to play
golf, fly an airplane. catch trout
or write a column.
But she did teach me some im-
portant things; never to say any
thing about a person unless you
could say something good; always
to \oto against Mackenzie King;
never to be cruel; always to laugh.
sardonically when you paid your
taxes; never to be discourteous,
whatever the situation; always to
land the first punch if you were
forced to fight.
She also taught me how to make
a bed, do a family washing, pre-
pare a simple meal, do the dishes,
and run an ironer, all of which
have stood me In good stead since
I got married.

Back in those days, I didn't ap-
preciate my mother. They' can be
annoying creatures to children, you
know. Their interests are very
limited, They miss the big picture
and harp on such details as clean
ears, looking after your horrible
little brother, going to Sunday
School, hanging up your clothes,
going to bed at bedtime, and get-
ting up at getting -up time.
U -J-O
Not only did my mother pester
me with such petty irritations, she
had the gall to suggest -only once
in awhile, and rather timidly, I
admit -that I cut the lawn, run an
errand, or help my Dad put the
ashes out. She even had the effont-
ery to drop these hints when she
knew perfectly well I had to go
to the matinee, or off to play ball.
Oh, I put up with a lot aroinci
there, I can tell you.
And she was cruel, too. I tlrs-
tinetly remember the beating 1 used
to get. Well, I remember one, any-
way. Welt, maybe .not it beating,
exactly, but three skelps with ai
yardstick. I was six at the time
:tart! Pm quite certain it scarred
me, psychologically, rot- lire.
I still don't know why she
threshed me so brutally. I hadn't
done a thing. How could I know
my kid brother would swallow that
screwnail I gave him to play with?
Could I help it if my ball went a
little crooked and through the
kitchen window? And what red-
blooded boy hasn't burned all his
eyebrows off with a firecracker?
No, I think she was just in a had
mood that day,

People talk abo•.it mothers work-
ing so hard, I never noticed my
mother doing much. Except maybe
fooling around with the housework,
And doing a little washing for the
seven of us, And you'd hardly call

alt the time. And there was the
cooking for us and three hoarders,
