Prince Charles had his seventh birthday
on Monday and prominent in the list of gifts
.he expected was said 'to be a spaceman's suit,
the Prince like other small boys being fascina-
ted by the thought of visiting other worlds.
Whether he got the spacesuit or not, Her
Majesty can be relied upon to keep her young
son's feet on the ground for quite a while yet.
His time for soaring will come later..

Despite all the laws passed in the United
States to support the principle of equality
between the races, the Southern whites find
ways of thwarting thein. The latest—at least
We had never before heard of it—is to require
the word "negro" on election ballots to desig-
nate a negro . candidate. This has been --de-
clared illegal by the U.S. Supreme Court, but
doubtless there will be found -Some other way
of effecting the sante result 'of racial discrim-
ination.

Canadians should not be impatient if
Government expenditure for defence continues
at high figures, with correspondingly high'
taxes. World War I. was supposed : to be
"the war .to_ end wars, but if there is a. third
one it w_ ill be the war .to end everything. And
'Canada will be in'"the middle of it, between,
the two great antagonists, Russia and the
United States."' There is nothing in the news
from Geneva that gives any prospect of World
peace; to the contrary, every,indication is that
Russia is as determined as ever to conquer
the world for, Communism. Unless Canadians
are willing to be victims of thatrd"etemination
they should be prepared to pay their taxes, not
with a sthile, but with stiff upper lips.

Governor-General Massey in a recent ad-
dress bemoaned the disfigurement of Canada 's
cities and countryside. It is difficult to make
a city . a thing of beauty ; at any rate, it re-
quires a deal of planning. The countryside,'
however, is naturally beautiful until it is
despoiled by the hand of man. The• "im-
provement" .of the highways 'is responsible
for " much of- this 'impairment. Despite the
fact aS revealed by statistics that accidents
are most frequent„on straight stretches of road,
the highways people persist in creating more
Land more of these speedways .and in the pro-
cess destroy fine old roads with pleasant curves
and cut down beautiful trees that have graced
the landscape for generations. We could
hope that other men of prominence and in-
fluence would. join Mr. Massey in a campaign
to preserve what is left of Ontario's loveliness.

Air ,Cadet .News
At the last two parades, held
by Maitland Squadron 532, .74
Cadets attended each time. The
Com -Mantling Officer inspected the
flights, and a check yeas made on
the fit of all overcoats. The junior
NCO course is still hard at it with
the idea of producing future Corp-
orals, sergeants, etc.
Radio, navigation and small arms
hay' been the main subjects in
Blass rooms. Squadron Padre, the
Rev. R. G. MacMillan, was present
and gave a very interesting talk
on Citizenship; also F/O. 'Ruther-
• ford, of RCAF Station, Clinton,
who showed a STM called "Target
for'Tonight." Squadron Fire Chief
Ray Nelson, pulled a fast one and
set the fire alarm going for prac-
that "no one has suggested that l:,'hristnias
be celebrated on other than December 25th,"
and thea, by way of contradiction, observes,
"By order-incouncil the Federal Government
has declared December 26 the Christmas holi-
.•day this year. r" But that does not mean that
Christmas is not to be celebrated on the 25th,
as an /body- who goes to church on that day
Will know. Nobody objects to the celebration
of Dominion Day on July 2nd when July lst
conies on Sunday—it• is not a "holy day" as
is Christmas--+but'some people with no respect
for anniversaries want "Dominion Day to be
proclaimed for,' the first Monday, of July,
whether ,that day be July lst, 2nd, 3rd, 4th,
5th, 6th or 7th. These people do not want
to celebrate Canada's natal day; their idea is
to ignore the anniversary and get' away on a
Saturday -to -Monday drive, still fjrther crowd-
ing the overcrowded highways• and• almost
inevitably increasing the list of fatalities.
By •1975, Canada will have balanced agricultural
production with domestic demand. Only wheat
will be exported, but overseas sales "will be more
than compensated for by inflow of crops produced
in warmer climates.—Financial Post.
This is rather a brash forecast. Canada's
population by 1975 may be twice what, it is
now, but is it to ,be presumed that agricultural
production will not also increase? It can be
said with confidence that the hoine market
will take a larger proportion of farm products
as the' population' grows,. but it -is extremely
doubtful that 'only wheat will be exported."
Densely populated European countries still ex-
port some of their special farm, products, and
it is 'lot to be supposed that Canadian farmers
with special skills will not be able to fill a
demand in World markets for products that
can be raised or 'grown most advantageously
in this country. The day of the' farmer is
coming in Canada as the urban 'population
increases, but we, hope there will hot be lacking
farms with ,worldwide reputations for their'
livestock or 'other products.

CONVERSATION
(Brantford Expositor)
There is conversation and good conversation:
Many people don't appear to know the difference."
Their talk never rises above the level of gossip,
triviality or the inanely .obvious: They shift their
brains into neutral and let their tongues idle.
'Even the supposedly educated are often unable to
find any subject for conversation they can share
except golf and bridge. The hours pass in an ex-
change of ' complaints about prices and taxes, or of
views on the merits of cars, baseball players, foot-
ball stars and such -like. And when all is said it
boils down to nothing worth while. Mostly it has
been a .parroting of stale ideas or borrowed opinions
on topics of no real value. No one has had any
worthwhile information to impart. No one has had
to sharpen his wits, to explain or defend 'h point.
No one feels stimulated except 'by what he has
drunk. It has been a swapping, bedraggled, thread-
bare mental washing. There has been conversation,
but not good conversation.

THE BIBLE
TODAY
BY'
UPPER CANADA BIBLE SOCIETY
If the Bible ever suffered froi'n
neglect, it did about a generation
ago. Today, however, it has re-
turned to "front and centre" in the
stage of things. Before World War
I, in halcyon days of peace and
prosperity, the idea that the world
was steadily getting better was pre-
valent. Religion was irrevelant or
at least of no special significance
except as a particular pattern of
life, 'One writer went so far as to
say, "the Bible lost its former place
in the pulpit, the class -room and
the home."
Soon after that war however,
a new trend in biblical scholarship
took fiold. The tide began to turn
and it was realized that "to read
the Bible in a merely . historical
manner, as one would read any
other book, was to miss the point
'altogether." Now it began to be
read as an urgent message to in-
dividual men and women.
This changed attitudeto the
Bible came in the nick of time.
No one knows what would have
happened the Churches of Europe
and Europe itself, otherwise. It
had taken a firm hold of.the minds
of men in Germany in time to hold
the ' line: against even "Mein
Kampf," and its public ridicule by
the Nazis.
Appreciation of the Bible today
increases --sometimes it appears in
