Dear Sir:
In answer to "Concerned's"
letter of Iast we regarding
lowering the awing age in Can-
ada he states that the youth
should not be given the vote be
because they walk on the high-
way in opposition to the High-
way Traffic Act, "thus showing
a disregard for the law."
There are also those over
twenty-one who cheat, steal,
drink themselves into a stupor,
drive dangerously, commit
rape, contribute ro juvenile de•
linquency and in general are
not fit to be called citizens of
our country. Should we not
deny them the vote also?
Regarding his riots and dem-
onstrations, perhaps the largest
riot of our time was in Hungary
when people decided to stand
up for their freedom and their
rights. And we heralded these
rioters as heroes:
Over 21,
E. Rowcliffe.
P.S. If your writer is so "Con-
cerned" why hasn't he the guts
to sign his name to his letters?

Dear Sir:
The thaw this winterprompts
one to think of what the im-
mediate yar has in prospect for
Wingham. We continue to hear
the comparisons made between
Wingham and other neighbour-
ing towns that are seeming to
flourish, and hence to Wing -
ham's disadvantage. Commun-
ity pride again seems to lag and
Spring, glorious Spring chal-
lenges us to new ventures to
witness tc, Wingham's esteem.
London's City Council has
recently aired a concern for
beautifying it's downtown bus-
iness sec ions. Reference was
made that the neighbouring city
to the south, St. Thomas, had
shown strong initiative in pre-
senting an attempt to cover the
drab though stout appearance
of a business block in that city
adopting what has been called
the "Norwich Plan".
If it has been the privilege
of your readers to witness this
change -over in St. Thomas, I
am certain that they would
agree with this writer, that a
great transformation took place
on busy though grimy Talbot
Street East.
Is the Council for 1004
adventurous enough to promote
such a plan for Wingham'? By
co-operating with the bloc;<
owners, by means of subsidiz-
ing the costs, a major trans-
formation might easily take
place, right here: The Civic
spirit of pride would be regain-
ed, A contagious good -will,
will draw the interest of others
to our fair town and perchance
Wingham will gain its much
needed two or three thousand
more inhabitants.

Dear Sir:
Enclosed is $4 for another
year's subscription to the Ad-
vance -Times, which we enjoy
receiving each week. I es-
pecially enjoy the editorials,
even when my opinions arc in
opposition to them, on such
subjects as Medicare.
Speaking of Medicare, let
me register a vote in favour of
the plan as we have it in Sas-
katchewan. From our view-
point the plan has worked ex-
ceptionally well, and we fail tc
see where the doctor's free-
doms are being compromised,
Also invalued is the freedom of
the family on an average wage,
with $5, 000 in doctors' bills
hanging over his head. I know
that many doctor's wait patient-
ly
atiently for their money and others
write bills off completely, but
there are those today who for
many years have been hand to
mouth, or have lost farms or
businesses because of medical
bills. It is difficult to talk to
these people on the subject of
freedom.
We expect a spring provin-
cial election in Saskatchewan.
No political party would dare
advocate making any serious
change in Medicare. This would
be political suicide.
Keep up the editorials.
Yours sincerely,
John Congram.
REPLANT TREES
ON 401 HIGHWAY
In 1963 the Department of
Highways planted 77, 882 trees
and shrubs along Ontario's
Highways, the Department an-
nounced in a report on tree
planting operations.
Since the fall of 1959, when
the Department acquired its
"tree saver", a 16 -ton vehicle
capable of lifting, transporting
and re -planting trees up to 30
feet in height, this versatile
machine has transplanted
5,616 large trees, many of
which would otherwise have
had to be destroyed.
Along the 17 -mile section of
Highway 401 in Metropolitan
Toronto which is being widened
to 12 lanes, the tree saver has
been used to move and re-
plant 1, 600 trees since re-
construction of the highway was
started a Iittle over a year ago.
One Moment, Please
BY REV, G. MITCHELL
Bluevale, Ontario
What are you going to give
up for Lent? Some of the an-
swers will reveal a serious con-
cern about the best way to ob-
serve rhe season. Some will be
merely frivolous and shame our
faith.
Historically, Lent is the
spring period of fasting in pre-
paration for Easter. It is for
forty days beginning with "Ash
Wednesday" and ending Easter
Sunday.
If fasting aids penitence,
support it. However, delicate
people or those recovering from
sic.<ness should not participate,
Personally I think of Lent as a
rime to take up some worth-
while things lather titan a per-
iod to give up trivial things.
11owc•ver, drinking, smoking
cigare.ttcs and general imtnoral
ity should be given up pertrran-
ently. We need discipline.
For Lenten reading study one of
the gospels and some good hook
on the life of Jesus. Devote at
least fifteen minutes a day to
meditation and prayer.
The message of Lent is cross
centred. The Christian cross is
much more than the instrument
of a good man's death, it is a
revelation of God's purpose and
passion. It is much more than
a place where burdens are roll-
ed away. It is a place where
burdens are assumed. If Lent
gets you near enough to reality
you will hear Jesus asking you
to take up a cross.
We have seen lately a
strange emphasis in religion. It
has become increasingly, a
technique of escape. To be
sure there are burdens we have
no business carrying, but a nec-
essary load, freely accepted,
becomes a lift. Christianity is
in the world not to make life
easier but to make it nobler.
No one can take up a cross un-
til he has laid down some
things. Albert Schweitzer was
a hero of renunciation. He laid
down careers in music, medi-
cine and theology ro become a
missionary doctor in primitive
Africa,
May we be humble ars we be-
gin
egin uur Lenten journey. God
can do something through men
and women with humble and
contrite hearts,
