IS IT NECESSARY? Ontario highways \vile soon be as desolate as tracks across the fare of the moor!. l';very re -building pro- gram is accompanied by a wholesale slashing of trees along the right-of- way. Thousands of the IU8ti1i it•ent maples and stately elms have been ruthlessly swept away. We (lo realize that suatle of the cutting may have been necessary in the interests of safety along the heavily -travelled routes. where the trees were gro\ying too close to the line of traffic. In other instances the trees Iliay have been removed be- cause they interfered drastically with construetion equipment. To all appearance. however. it would seem that the vast majority of the trees have been removed so the contractors could s\\'ing in with their equipment and rush right through the job \vithout any delays is ,o ' this ( t \\•C' point t at all, l u heat t u. the (linens of places where young trees have been planted just as close to 1Ile new road as were the ones slashed out.

We are living in demanding days which require the very best in man. This is true i1 every sphere of human life. To grow physically. mentally and spiritually demands the utmost of our abilities. In oar physical and mental growth we must be willing to meet the de- mands necessary for that growth. \Ve should strive with equal de 'termination for spiritual growth. As Chrstians we believe that Christianity has most to offer for our spiritual development because it takes us Into the presence of the "Living God" who offers its His power, which enables us to meet the demands made of us in this fast moving modern age. Christ- ianity Is -being challenged today by other powerful ideologies and 'isms, It is imperative that all, who call themselves Christians, know what Christianity is. Someone has said that "There are many in the Church as well as out of 't who need to learn that Christianity is neither creed nor cere)nonial, but a life vitally con- neeted with a loving Christ." I like that last phrase, "a life vital- ly connected with a loving Christ," If we are truly Christian that is exactly what happens. It: doesn't mean merely nominal service to the Church, Neither does it meat, giving only lip service to Christ. It means that our whole being is consecrated and dedicated to do. ing the will of Jesus Christ in ALL things. Somebody has said that there are three types of Christians, "Jaw- bone Christians, wishbone Christ- ians and backbone Christians, The jawbone Christians are those who do a lot of talking about their re- ligion, and little else; wishbone Christians are those who want things to happen for Christ and the Church, but let it go at that; while backbone Christians are the people who work at the task of the kingdom and are dependable in every good work," If the demands and challenges which confront Christianity today are to be met with any degree of success then it behooves all Chirst- lans to show to their fellowmen that they are backbone Christians who are ,determined to make Chris tianity a dynamic, living and tri- umphant force in the world, When we realize, with Alexander Pope, that "A Christian is the highest style of man", and live as such, then we grow spiritually and with such growth continued in us we shall be able to meet any demands which our tines might require of US, For the past tt\'o weeks I've been "batching it". That • is, if there's such a thing as a bachelor with two great, galumphing children, 1 have. No, my wife hasn't left me. Nothing as exciting as that. :I hadn't been left alone with the kids for years not since they were quite small, In those times we all enjoyed it thoroughly when Mom went away for a fete days. Not only did we get the Old Ba.ttleaxe off our necks, bat reverted joy- fully to the pigs that men and small children really are at heart. We ate whatever and whenever and wherever we pleased. We let the dishes pile up in the sink and the dirt pile up on the floor, with equal indifference. We wore the same socks for days, It was a. real holiday, even though we always caught supreme hell when the boss got home. - n -o-0 But somet:hin)t• has happened since those days. Either I've grown a lot older, or the !kids have !grown a 1ot more complicated, or our household arrangements ihalve3 in- creased immensely in complexity. 'flit time it wits no fun.

In the old days, cooking was fun when I was left in charge. There was flair and imagination, vision and variety in oto• menu. We might start wth a bowl of Pablum gar- nished with pineapple. The next course might turn out to be meat pies and ice cream. We'd wind up with chocolate bars and pop, or cherry tarts and French fries. The kids loved my cooking, and there was never a scrap le ft over, Somewhere in the intervening years, these youngsters have been ruined. They've turned into hor- rible little conformists, They want meat and potatoes and regular des- sert and milk and all that sort of junk that dirties a lot of dishes and is also pretty dull, And in be- t I they h 12 little SUGAR and SPICE By Bill Smiley. a whip, if need be.
