seventh birthday. Bertie needs a mother and father and he
needs them soon because' he must move from his present
foster home. The Children is Aid Society is most anxious .that

hair, medium complexion, and, as you see, an engaging

granted that strangers will like him. He is easy-going,
affectionate and fun -loving, and always anxious to please.
He will be entering Grade 2 in the fall. Bertie is a healthy
boy who likes' playing cowboys and Indians, loves working
with his own told kit and •is proud of his newly acquired
'ability to read. He needs a loving, stimulating home where
there are no children close to him is age. It would be ideal
if he could be an only child or big brother to a toddler. To

tion ask your local children's Aid Society.

Well, what do you think of
the moon now For centuribs,
lunatics have howled at it, lov-
ers have yearned under it,
poets have rhapsodized over it
and pedants have pontificated
about it.
And what does the Beautiful,
silvery, chaste goddess turn
out to bei An -old. hag-made-of-
slag,
ag--made-of-
slag, with a bad case of, acne.
Like most of you, I was
glued to the television set for
hours at a stretch, listening to
inanities and profundities, �i tit
experiencing the tension, r-
ror and triumph of the c ('tial
moments.
I've lived through some har.
assing experience: the Great
Depression, World War -II and
p.o.w. camp, the cold war, and
. two teenagers. And I'n glad
that I was spared to see those
two fellows lolloping around
on the moon.' It was something
just to b part of the human
race at that moment.
vation appears more rational
than flying half a million miles
to pick up some rocks.
But of course, as a scant
look at history will prove, man
has never been a rational crea-
ture, though he often' prides
• hiinself on his_ ,reason.
Listening to all the learned
scientists and humanists dis-
cussing the birth of a new era
for man, I seemed to gather
two major impressions. 'Most
people felt a combination of
awe, pride and exhilaration.
The sheer impudence of the
feat was a thrill. Petty, ignoble
man conquering the majestic
moon.
But the opposite feeling was
expressed by a smaller, but
intelligent and vocal group.
They scorn the whole enter-
prise and suggest that man
should feel a sense of shame at
spending so much money, time,
• technological 'skill and brains
to accomplish such a "useles§s'
mission, when - there are ' so
many things here on earth
which need the application of
those ingredients • so mulch
more.
They have a point. An all-out
attack on poverty, illness, star -

Man is a creature of emo-
tion, imagination and intution,
with a slr`ofig: Ugh- oti'rtitiative-.
and a mere soupcon of reason.
He is curious. He wants ,to
know whatis. around the corner
or over' the next mountain.
So dolumbus, with sublime
gnorance, sailed off with three
leaky boats manned by con
victs, into the sunset. Scott and
companions trudged the bleak'
wastes of Antarctica, and died,
after reaehing a chunk of ice
called the South Pole, only to
find that Kilroy had been
there.
History is interesting chiefly
because of the mystic that is in
man, and his • fortitude in
searching' beyond the known.
Take Magellan and Henry Hud-
son and Samuel Hearne and
Lindbergh and Sir Richard Hi-
lary and a thousand othersout
of your history books, and
what have you left? A dull
plateau, full of such soul -stir-
ring events as the passing of
the Education Bill of 1872,
and such -like.
That's all very romantic, of
course, but we must be realis-
tic. Is that why the Yanks
"went for broke" in their ef-
fort to get there first? Partly.
fantastic
feat
They are a nation of immense
pride and ability, with a flair
for the dramatic.
But there is no question that
the race to be first on the
moon had powerful political
implications. -
What a pity! What -a - tru
wonderful stroke of manic' d •
the moon trip would have ; 'en
-- had -the. . team—preparing. -and ._
executing it been made :up; of a
world, rather than a n Tonal,
group of men, working without
thought of power, propaganda
or prestige!
If the moon becomes merely
a pawn in the power struggle
among earthlings, who whole
• thing was a pitiable failure. If
man merely transports .. 'his
greeds, aggressions and other
assorted stupidities to the
moon and beyond, there. is no
hope for his future.
But let's look on the bright
side. By turning his aggressive
spirit 'against the great cold,
dark of the universe, the hu-
man animal might stop rend-
ing his fellows. By seeking out •
the .mysteries of space, , he
might be encouraged to seek
into the mysteries of himself.
By proving that the impossible'
can be done, perhaps he will
get cracking on the "impossi-
bility" of solving earth's prob-
lems.
Whatever ' happens, nothing
can detract , from the fantastic
American feat, and the skill
and courage of the first men
on the moon.
