The toast to the ladies was proposed by Harold Bettger and responded to by Mrs • George Ellis. VERY, VERY HIGH "Guilty of manslaughter". This was the verdict in a case tried in Brampton recently. The charge arose from a car collision. A man was killed. The guilty driver was drunk. Professor Jocelyn Rogers told the court that a blood sample from the accused man after the accident contained 3.2 parts per 1,000 of alcohol. Such an alcoholic content would cause a "very, very high degree of in- toxication in the average man and terribly affeCt his ability to drive. A man with such an alcoholic con- tent would not know where he was going or what he was doing." This convicted driver may or may not be one of the 76,000 al- coholics we have in Ontario. But scientific research has lately come up with the finding that an al- coholic runs three times the nor- mal risk of death, not alone as a driver on the highway, but also in the natural course of events. , ERIC1: / This advt. sponsored by The Huron 'County Temperance red- -14-161oration.

SMILEY We all know what a young man's fancy is supposed to lightly torn to in spring. But when you ,get right down to it, young men are vastly uninteresting, except to thenaseives, recruiting officers, and, of course, young w-ornen. , * They lack the appeal of a boy, the sensitivity of an adolescent, the charm of maturity, and the dignity and wisdom of old age. On fact, aside from a certain bullish energy, and a strong dash of animal good spirits, they have little to recommend them. Except to young women. So we will ignore the fancy of young men this spring, especially since it's lightly turned to the same sort of thoughts in the other three seasons too. Let's examine the fancies of some of the more interesting age groups. 5. 4, Sole aim of very small males, in the spring, seems to be mud. They love mud. It has the same fascin- ation for them that it has for small pigs. They like to walk in it, kneel in it, roll in it, push small girls down in it, and bring as much , as possible of it home with therm.', Small girls are exactly the same, and this is the only time in their lives that the two sexes are com- pletaly agreed on anything. s 4.. Slightly Older boys have a fancy in the spring for anything that is dangerous, foolish or irritating. On the first day the temperature is above 40 they want to go hatless and barefoot. They build rafts tha,t sink. They dig caves in the sides of crumbly sandpits. They cross swollen streams on the slippery trunks of fallen trees. They walk on railway tracks. They fall into bogs. Or they come home redol- ent of leeks. * * * The mature, or married, man is stunned by spring. A few weeks ago, his home was quite attractive, with that nice white snow covering everything. Now it's nothing but a big, fat eyesore. Paint peeling, eavestroughs dangling, cellar win- dow broken and a potato sack stuff- ed in it. Storm window for the southeast side of the kitchen still leaning against the house, where he left it last fall. Front lawn littered with kiddy car, grapefruit_ rinds dropped while hustling out with the garbage, four empty wine bottles contributed by passersby, the rake, a pile of dead leaves; and the whole torn into trenches worthy of Flanders' fields by the visits of the coal truck. * • He does the only sensible thing, 4 Why is the telephone still working, Mummy? It's most unusual when a Firm affects your telephone. It's reassuring to know that it has a habit of staying on the job. The reason is that your telephone op- erates from banks of giant batteries in the telephone exchange. Should power go off for any reason, these are charged by a Diesel motor standing by for just such an emergency. So the uninterrupted service you, 'enjoy is no accident. !t takes forethought, equipment --.-and money. All are neces- sary if you are to have the best possible telephone service 24 hours a day.

What kind of a fancy does he have, come spring?

On fact, I know he is. 0 was talking to one the other day. As he sunned himself in front of the post office, he told me: "Didn't think I'd make it, back there in January.
