The public wants violence and they are getting it., • There has been a great tendency in recent years for the peace people to decry war movies.

Illness and accident are always „with us and it -would be folly to suggest otherwise., What we do find objectionable, however, is,the glorification of violence' tor its own sake - the motorcycle gang armed with knives archains. In too many cases these pictures have made idols of ignorance and cruelty. Men from time immemorial have found it necessary at frequent intervals to defend their homes and families. On most occasions violence had to be opposed by force - but at. least there Was an understandable excuse. As long as we are prepared to pay the price of admission - or .the. ptice of toleration - senseless violence is here -to stay.. • ..... -.Wingham Advance -Times First off this week, I have received a letter from Mrs. Jim Taman of 197 Picton Street East here in Coderich. .Mrs. Taman is presently confined to hospital in Rochester, Misinisota.

It would be wonderful if' the ladies of Goderich (even those who ° don't know Mrs. Taman) would drop her a cheery line even a greeting card. I'm sure it 'would be greatly appreciated. • ,Her address ,is Mrs. Elinore Taman,Methodist Hospital. Rochester, Minnesota. • 55901. USA --'Sixth floor, Room 627.

Miss Blanchard ad Sed me that. the; Signal Star had en much to6 kind to •her in, t e article which was printed .tw weeks ago. She reminded me again of. all -the wonderful people who help her out.' She also told me that since the article appeared in the paper, she has had some response from people who want to assist in some way. It is plain to see that she is truly grateful to all, I'm still wondering if some of the women's groups in .town wouI4, like to look into the situation a little more and perhaps make some joint .offer of assistance to this wonderful little lady. Sometimes if we all get together, it is possible to do so much withso .very little, Please give it some thought, ladies„ * * * I've also been in touch with Mrs. Aileen McGregor on S.

'Besides that,* Mrs. McGregor has turned down five girls and very likely, there will be more young ladies interested in 4-11 once the Club gets swinging. For anyone who is interested in homemaking, 4-H for -girls is just wonderful. The training the girls get is tremendous and I: "know that Mrs. McGregor was 'zsorry to turn dpwn some of the girls who wanted to join her Club.
