about hanging -_, "it's all in getting
used to it," So it is with the new
Parking meters.
No single change in our way of
living has eansed quite so much tom

NEW HAZARD
The Riverside Park development
is one of the finest additions this
town. has ever seen. i1.lthongh it is
not yet completed it is attracting
hundreds of people for swimming,
boating. and just plain watching.
Among those who are most en-
thusiastic .about the facilities at the
park are the power boat owners and
the water skiers.. We share their in
terest, but we are very much afraid
that the uPper pond will be the scene
of a first-class.accident unless there
is some sort of control over the boat
traffic.
The river is a veru limit ed water-
way for boats with high-powered en-
gines. ,As a matter of fact it is the
very type of channel in which marine
law demands a five -anile -an -hour
speed limit.,
The presence of the speed boats
has made the river unsafe for smaller
craft. .There have been a few inci-
dents this season in which lighter
vessels Were completely swamped by
the power boats. Fortunately tiie
occupants of the lighter craft were
swimmers.
The question naturally arises—is
the river being improved (at public
expense) only for the people Who can
afford expensive motor boats?
Boating and water skiing are
grand sports. We happen to have a
power boat ourselves and know the
thrill of dashing around tyith the
throttle wide open. We don't suggest
here that the. power boats should be
forced off the river — hut we most
certainly do suggest that they be
limited to: so.tne. specific times in the
week so that' the Maitland will be
safe in the remaining periods for the
fellows who still want to use a canoe
or a rowboat. '
GENERAL CLEANUP
BADLY NEEDED
Municipalities both large and
small, rural and urban, have devel-
oped a new vision in regard to tidi-
ness and attractiveness, Every small-
er community we know of has been
making visible, hut not always suc-
cessful efforts to eliminate the un-
sightly litter which nsecl to be taken

ent and has the furl backing of the
council and police. Most main streets
in Ontario have improved tretuen( ..
ously in the fast few years.
The problem is more difficult to
resolve, howver, out in the country,
where the litterbugs cannot be oh -
served and warned. One of the most
unfortunate :sof all disgraces is the
heap of junk which so often defiles a
pretty piece of woods on a country
road.
The woods, of course, give the

ten the junk he leaves behind bears
dill the hallmarks of having comae
from the nearest town --• not the
neighboring faun.
If for no other reason, we should
all waken up to the fact that this
wayside litter costs us money. No
area can develop any worthwhile
tourist industry, as an example,. if it
is unsightly and unattractive. Anoth-
er pet trick is to dunip. refuse into a
stream, just where it crosses a coun-
try road. And with that act, away
goes any chance of keeping fish alive
for the next half utile down stream.
Another worthwhile asset has been
destroyed.
What amazes us is the trouble
people will go. to, just to, make a
mess. Every town has its garbage
collection system. AR one has to do
is carry it out to the edge of the
street and the truckers take over
from there. \V'hv, then, go to. all the
trouble of lagging the stuff out into
the country and leaving it as an of-
fense to your tidier neighbours
The rural municipalities are he -
ginning to have a keen awareness of
the value of attractive surroundings.
Note the number of pretty little
parks in the townships. We predict
they will soon get very tough with

SMASH IT UP, BOYS!
While we are speaking of civic
pride, we might mention the exper-
ience of the hard-working fellows
who have devoted so much time to
the beautifitlpark in Turnberry
Township. Built on a sharply limited
budget, and with the sweat of
volunteer helpers, the Turnberry
Park has become a symbol of civic
pride and has served thousands of
residents and visitors saver the past
few seasons.
Now; however, the vandals have
stepped in, To the typical smasher -
ripper nothing is more beguiling
than recreation facilities which have
been provided for public enjoyment
without charge. T-Tere he is at his
evil best.
One of the most fascinating epi-
sodes at the Turnberry Park took
place a few nights ago when some-
one lugged in a lig, heavy stone
and threw it into a washroom toilet
with such force that the bowl was
completely smashed, Standard pro-
cedure
ro-
r r
c e itt e is to steal the light bulbs
several times a week.
The stone in the toilet incident
proved conclusively that it was not
young and therefore merely foolish
boys who are responsible for all the
destruction, It is someP erson or
gang big enough and otd enough
to take the frill: consequence of their
criminal insanity.
We can only hope that the Turn -
berry Parra Board: will set a trap into
e p
which these vandals will step and
that a magistrate will see that they
reap their proper reward.

When a boy is ten years old, and
school lets out, summer stretches
ahead for approximately six
months. That's probably the best
age of all for a boy. He hasn't
one single worry in the world. He
doesn't caz'e what he looks like. He
doesn't have any work to do. Girls
don't interest him in the slightest.

He can swim. for hours, until his
lips are bluer than his eyes. Or he
can lie on his back in the grass and
watch the clouds sail by. Or he can
play ball in the burning sun when
anybody else would collapse. He
can eat an entire meal in four
minutes flat and be out the door
again. He can drink eight bottles
of pop and eat four ice cream cones
without turning a hair• Ah,

again, when, summer lasts forever
and is always hot?
If ten is the best of all possible
ages for a hoy, fifteen is probably
the worst. Especially in summer, If
his parents are not well off, he has
to work, and he envies' bitterly the
Kelt kids who can go off to sum-
mer camp or family cottage, If his
parents have lots of money, he re-
sents having to go to the cottage,
where there's nobody but women
and kids, and he envies the lucky
kids wino have a summer job.
At fifteen the average male is
acutely aware of (a) girls; (h) his
complexion, which drives him to
thoughts of suicide; (c) money, of
which he never has enough; and (di
girls. Summer is pure torture for
this bird, who invariably falls
deeply in love with some brown -
legged girt who is just visiting tor
a couple of weeks, His heart is
broken when she leaves, and he
writes her sickeningly sentimental
letters for three weeks after school
starts in September.
By the time the male animal gets
into his early twenties, summer is
once again afine thing. His only
complaint is that it's not long
enough. He works hard and plays
twice as hard, He drives two hun-
dred miles to fish, or plays thirty-
six holes of golf, or dances all night
without any noticeable rclecrease in
stamina.

He has the world by the tail, a

When a man gets into his six-
ties, summer should be a tilne of
leisure and pleasure. By then, he
should be able to take plenty of
holidays, go fishing whenever he
feels like it, or just sit on the

has learned how to handle his wife
