Solemn Mgment
The first full week in September
invariably brings eh:ut:;t:.s. In Many
ways it: has become the first of our
year, despite all the ceremonies and
celebrations which take pace on
January 1st, the traditional New
Year.
13usiness now tends to be .geared
t() ten months of concentrated effort,
followed 1)y two. months of intern1it-
ent holidays and general relaxation.
The Tuesday after Labour 1)ay finds
most businessbusinessmenmen withfresh plans
1.s
for the projects they intend to under-
take,
ndertake, as eontinerce redlines its vitali-
ty in
the cooler
atmosphere of fall.
Of course the most noticeable
event of early September is the re•
turn of htuldrecls of thousands of
students to classrooms all over the
nation. This is a most iiltl)urtant
event, not only to the youngsters
who will start new courses and ven-
ture into new fields of learning, but
it is equally important to adults, no
matter where the'\' may be. Forty
years ago parents and all grown-ups
thought of formal education as the
opportunity which is afforded the
next generation to improve its lot in
life -to rise at least one step above
the station of its fathers and
mothers.
Now, as satellites whirl about
our planet and nen take to the limit-
less unknown of trackless space, edu-
cation for our children assumes a
new and entirely fresh importance.
-We are no longer concerned primar-
ily with the better life our children
may live . . ,' we are consciously cal-
culating hoc many super -mentalities
will emerge from our schools. We
are thinking years ahead to the time
when we will be too old to cope with
the problems our own society has
created -the ridge when we will de-
pend completely on the thinking ca-
pacity of our children and grand-
children to forestall the utter chaos
of atomic annihilation.
Truly, this is a grim way to look
at the future. Most of us would pre-
fer to get the kids back to school and
then enjoy • the last fishing and the
final golf game of the season. 1 f we
insist on doing so, we simply have
our collective heads in the sand.
Mankind is facing its greatest test
since creation. human brains have
accomplished some startling things
in centuries gorse by and almost
every advance has spelled not only
progress, but danger as well. When
our hairy, long -jawed ancestors mas-
tered the use of fire and learned the
delicious taste of cooked meat, they
also found they could burn themsel-
ves. The first wheeled vehicle saved
humans untold agonies of back-
breaking labor, but they failed to
realize that they had fashioned the
forerunner of the war chariot.
Our age, however, faces an en-
tirely new problem. We, in our time,
have been responsible for the master
invention of all tune. We have finally
learned how to make a TIIIN(,
That thing is a Frankenstein. It may
well consume as in its fiery heart.
We wanted it. We paid people in our
own countries to slave for it ... and
now it threatens to becollie our ex-
ecutioner.
All this may seem to be worlds
away froiii our school children. Not
so. Our youngsters must learn to
master the intricacies of the mental
and social world which will contain
the monster their fathers have cre-
ated. They will be required to nur-
ture within their developing minds
a rlo,v concept of the patience and
skill which alone can weld the na-
tions of the earth into a hitherto
unknown bond of understanding. We
mast ask there to undertake a task of
which we have already proven our-
selves incapable.
Perhaps youeari say
all these
complicated things to votti• boys and
girls': More than likely you will he
utterly bemused by the jargon of the

LISTEN CAREFULLY
Unquestionably this section of
'Western Ontario is more than ordin-
arily election -conscious at the pre-
sent time. We have not only one type
of ballot, but two facing us and there
is every indication that the general
public has been aroused out of a
twenty-year torpor and is ready to
express a thoughtful verdict on both.
questions.
The first vote, of course, is on
whether or not we shall have cock-
tails for sale in Wingham. Last week
we expressed the opinion that it
vas a question on which you should
he able to make up your own mind.
1-1 owever, in case you were in doril)t,
Nye olid not mean that The Advance -
Times would refuse to publish opin-
ions. Our columns are open for all
the letters you want to write. Pro-
vided they are contained within the
rules which govern libel and slander
they will certainly he printed.
The second vote, is a provincial
by-election to determine a successor
for John Hanna. In this particular
case we don't pretend to he impar-
tial. It was our pleasure to be John's
campaign manager in his last elec-
tion, and by so doing we developed
some loyalties that simply cannot be
denied.
From the newspaper standpoint
however, since ours is the only local
publication in this area, we feel con-
strained to talk about both of the
major parties and their candidates.
To look at this by-election from
Mr. Average Voter's viewpoint : The
first move in the campaign was the
nominating conventions of the Pro-
gressive Conservative and Liberal
parties. In both cases strong candi-
dates were named and strong men
emerged. Now we have two men
working for your support, George
McCutcheon and Murray Gaunt.
Both are descended from well-known
and well-established families in owl-
rural
utsrural community. The common de-
nominator is the eagerness with
which they have approached their re-
spective challenges. Both believe
wholeheartedly in the causes for
which they are doing battle. They in-
tend to fight it out, tooth and nail,
.and when the final count is taken the
loser is going to he the first with
congratulations to the- winner.
In short, if we know anything
about these two men (and we do)
this will be a clean campaign. One in
which you, the voters, will be asked
to think seriously about -the future
of the province of which most of us
are so proud. Neither of these candi-
dates professes to a long and sleep
knowledge of government in Ontario
-but to either one we should be
willing to grant a period of appren-
ticeship..
May we drop,, for you, one word
of caution. There is a widespread be-
lief today that any person who gets
himself mixed up in politics is basi-
cally a crook. If�onmaun-
main-
taining that beliyou insist ef and telling all
your neighbours about it you fall
into the clearly-clefinecl class of poli-
tical saboteur. True, there are some
opportunists hi politics. You will
,the
find them in business in profes-
sions,
sions, even among the clergy.
All we can telt you is that the two
men who are offering themselves to
you for the October 4th election are
sincere, devoted and one hundred
percent .interested in the constituen-
cy of Huron -Bruce.
We'll vote for our mart. You vote
for yours.

l ONE MOMENT, PLEASE!
Ivphesians 0: 14),itt -This passage
is that with which Paul brings. his
letter to the. (:11+irch as Ephesus to
5 claw. It is most pertinent, as !
well as practical, to a situation:
that faces the town of Wingham
this month. It must be understood
that the message was pertinent to
Christians to those who lcnew
without a shadow of :doubt where
their allegiance lay,
`f`he. early Christians in Ephesus
were at the very crossroads of civ-
ilization at that time. It was most
necessary then that the Christian
Church in such a location and at
such a time be bold in pro l
mi
n
g
It's message.
To the city of Ephesus as it wit-
nessed these early Christians prac-
tising their faith, these 'people of
the Way' must have seemed a pc•
culiar lot. I am quite sure they
were not considered a "do not"
crowd, but rather a "doing" crowd,
for in word and deed they were
turning the world upside down.
Possibly the greatest force under-
lying their behaviour was the in-
evitable knowledge that they were
at war, They knew better than
anyone else that they were fight-
ing "principalities and powers",
This was the Ideal that set the
Church of Ephesus on fire for the
"Icing of Kings",
The issue before the town of
Wingham must arouse within and
amongst those who claim allegiance
to Jesus Christ the same concern
and the salve forthrightness that
captured the spirit of the Church
at Ephesus. The issue is not that
of hotel accommodation, or better
.dining facilities, Nor is it the
transformation of an unsightly fe-
aIt> v. •G. 1., i ISO,
moo on the Inaln street. The Is-
sue that is before us is whether we
are to permit one further inroad of
the liquor interests to capture the
youth of our community. What-
ever method we may choose to
gloss, trim and decorate liquor it
still continues to be a menace to
our society. The recent scandal
of thalidomide is as nothing when
compared to the sickening paraly-
sis that follows in the wake of fun -
blown liquor addiction.
To those who claim allegiance to
Jesus Christ, there is only one
question we must ask ourselves as
we do battle with the issae before
would wo d Jesus have m c
to .do? There is no doubt as to the
answer, is there? Go and vote on
September 19th and affirm your
faith by personally wrestling with
"principalities, powers, against the
rulers of darkness of this world."

By Bill Smiley,
This is the finest time of the year I for 60 days, and getting not only
for Canadians. Collectively and
individually we are as happy as
hogs when we clamber out of the
scramble of summer and into the
sweetness of September.
Who wouldn't be a school teacher
during the first week of Septem-
ber? Those long, boring, monoton-
ous two months of holidays are
finally ended, thank goodness. And
there you are, delighted as Daniel
in the lions' den, just chuckling
with good spirits as you face 30 to
40 kids who are just bustling with
health and hellery, and who are all
ready, willing and able to turn- you
into one big, quivering twitch in
a matter of weeks.

Who wouldn't be a farmer when
September rolls around? Cattle so
fat they can scarcely walk. Golden
grain up to your navel. Nothing
to do but jog around to fall fairs.
Not a worry in the world. Except
that the bottom might fall out of
the cattle market the day you ship.
Or a hailstorm will arrive the day
before the combine does.
Who wouldn't; be n resort operii-
tor in. September? Your pests o1'
guests all vanished with. Labor

and count the profits and plan the
trip to the coast. Or count the 10
long months before there'll be any
money coming in, and plan a trip
to town to See the bank manager!
and make a payment.
Who wouldn't be a weekly edi-
tor as September dawns anew? Just
back from the annual convention,
where you wined and dined with
the best of them. Feeling like a
skeleton and confronted with a
mass of editorials,

Name one lady who would not
he a mother in the first days of
good old September. Gone are the
dreary days of summer, when
there was nothing to do but lie
around in your lawn chair, trying
to get your bosom tanned, Arrived
are the gladsome days when life
begins at 7.30 and the hours, in-
stead of dragging, are filled with
happy little domestic tasks- right
through until you careen into bed
at midnight.
Yes, indeed, itis a happy, happy
time for one and all, and; just to
add a little extra fillip to your joy,
there is the knowledge that winter
is coming and your relatives don't
visit you much in winter.
Then, there's the anticipation of
a few weeks of nature's finest ef-
fort in the weather department,
during the weeks ahead. A chance
for a last fling at the trout, with-
out having to clamber over an as-
sortment of tourists to get near the
stream. The joyous realization
that the women have abandoned
the golf links, and -the fairways
echo only to the tread of strong,
silent, male golfers, the veins
throbbing in their foreheads as
they fight back the naughty words.
There is the ineffable joy of
knowing that the children are back
under the• benevolent wings of the
educational, and social systems;
that for the next 10 months they'll
be completely and happily occu-
pied with homework, Cubs, Brown-
ies, Sunday School, parties, music
lessons and what -have -you and you
won't have to take them for a blast-
ed swim or picnic or something ev-
ery time you show yourself around
the rancho.

Oh, there's a certain sadness id
the knowledge that summer is ov-
er,. but that lasts o,lly a day or so.
Any red-blooded Canadian know§
deep in. his boots that summer is
not real, but merely a state of Wind,
that it hay no more substance, no
snore staying power in this true
'north Strong and free, than a. plea-
sant dream,
Summer is strictly for women,
children -and' tourists. For men, it's
just a matter of running in circles
hot, but nowhere. Come Septem-
ber, the average Canadian male
comes into his own. He breathes a
sigh of relief, gets that well-worn
shoulder to that -familiar wheel,
and begins to enjoy life, instead of
merely plunging about like a dart
in a windstorm, as he does in July
and August.

it could happen to you. Be on
