They specialize in It much the same as other people do in building houses, trimming whiskers or raising prize poultry, They write articles for newspapers about it and get paid for the work. One of the articles we saw today con- tained this: "The father or mother who do not give their children an aiiowance each week are courting trouble in days to come. They are net mak- ing their children resiponsible for the spending of money, and• the children when they come to older years will fins] they have aniseed important experience and instruc- tion which thetr parents denied them!' Probably there are families where it has always been possible for children to have an allowance, but there are many more families where it has never been done be- cause It could, not be done. There are families where it Is done and works well, but to state that not following such a plan is piling up trouble for days to conte is making a claim which is rather to broad - Looking back to the village we can think of feat/ families where the boys or girls could ever have re- ceived anything at ail for spending money. We do not hesitate for a moment to state the reason—tire People were for the most part poor. It was quite the accepted thing for ehiidren tree to wear clothing which was made from the garments of their relatives, There were plenty of boys there who did not know what it was to have a "Stord suit" until after they had found something to clo and had earned their ewn money, In the summer season for a few weeks there was a chane to earn a little money by pulling flax; there were a few stores and offices where the wood - box required to be filled in season; there ;vas one old gentleman in the village who for a few cents bought up in. a sack of bones or old iron. There was the day when pigs were weighed on the village scales' .and then they bad to be driven to the shipping yard at the station and ten ,or fifteen cents could be earned there. Most of the boys had worst to do at home in the gav'len because people produced their own vege- tables, kept their own oltdokens and often enough a pig for fall killing. But of actual .money in circulation there wee little indeed and there was not much complalut about it. No person was trying to keep up with the next neighbor because they were a)1 pretty mach in the same class, Such snort as titer was hone -made and inexpensive. So it le easy enough to see why there Were no alio1aances made by nar- emte to the children; that is, they did not hand' out to them their share of spending ;money for the week or teach trent to bny their awn dlothhrq, and the reason Was primarily that the money was hot there to be handed out, Whether the children of such a generatton Were being spoiled for future years is something' about which the Pres- ent-day eyporrte can argue, 13t it 15 worth noting that there were no juvenile courts then because the treed for then) 'had not become apparent, AS IT WAS ON THE TENTH We read with a nit of regret that our Prime Minister , has sciatica and it has become so bad at times that he has. had to miss cabinet council meetings, Mr, King 1s not a doclger of work and when the news from Ottawa suss he could not leave homee, it means just what it says. We have no way of knowing what sort of neighbors he has living next door or across the road, but we are certain, if Mr. Xing bad been living on the Tenth Conces- sion some years ego the folk would have done all they could. They were good neighbors. It did not seem to make much difference what a person had in the way of sickness they would be really to make a frontal attack on it. 'Sciatica, lum- bago and rheumatism would all be classed pretty much the same there. The doctor when he; dn'ove out from the village might have been able to show that one was quite different to the other, but they seemed to work about the same: on the Person suf- fering from any of them. 'Twas a good many years ago since we saw the neighbors trot:plug In when there was a spell of sick- ness to be attended to, and 1f mehnory plays 00 tricks then Wades) would have been subject to attack by heat and ointment or lini- ment or lotions of some sort or other, The hot water bottle may have existed at that time but it had not come to live on the Tenth, and of course there was no such thing as an electric pad. But there was the shall bag filled with salt and bran and when they came out of tbe oven 11) the kitchen range they had a lot of heat in them. Something was almost bound to happen when they were applied, Then there was the old earthenware bedwarmer which was dile;, with hot water, and the flat Irons w2'aPped In flannel could always be counted on to add a few ,lore degrees to the saint total of •e dsling heat, If thawing out would provide remedial treatment for sciatica then the methods of the Tenth would be ef- fective, Mere were others who seemed to lean .toward the theory of rubbing, Nearly every family along rite road and UP the sidelines had something that was good for rubbing in. The thing had not beeu standardized and no two families seemed to re- cite the same articles of faith when it cane to a bottle of liniment. Most cases they had gone to the ;village and orderedthe stuff made up; so march ofthis, and that and so Hutch tellpentine and camphor. The women folk would come along and bring their bottles with them,, aa1,1 they wouldn't ask for them back when they left after their errand of mercy, fit when they did get their bottle beak they found some of it bad been. used they were Pleased as though a compliment had been Datil to them. If the Pet'ei)11 was, soon and, around then they were sure the contents of their bottle had been the ;cause of 'speedy recovery, People soon; learned that was one Way to be Popular on the Tenth. Make cer- tain ertwin that a little was taken out of each bottle of liniment that we' brought to the. douse When soma Pelson, was Molt, We have mot the least doubt: that Mr, Icing has the best passible ads vlee and treatment for leis sciatica, but we hope he also has neighbors like the folk who lived: alo.n:g the Tenth Coneeslslon all the way, up to the 'Broiten, Front Road, They did. nit just drop tat to ask lsoty a Denson was getting along and perhaps ex - 11055111 a little sy!mipathy, When they carne they brought along vigdhle 11tt plementS to 505)1)001 their sylnl?a- thetic 'desire for a feeaalIre of good health and they never ,slued to 1'e' 01511)) then) until tbe afflicted per - 5011 70tte sup and around again, NOTE AND COMMENT The ideal wife ig the one who thinks she has an Ideal husband. A great many of those little summer cabins, are near the season when they are not going to have much to do until 1939. Chatham; News tells of an apple tree which hag ripe fruit and blos- soms at the same time, indicating of course that we are not going to have any cold weather this winter. A man in 'United States won $25,- 000 by subnriltilg the best set of rules for safe driving, Chances are most people know all those rules and refuse to observe thein, Palfde record in the town of Leaawingtnn for :the Plast month shows 25 Prosecutions and 25 convictions. And even in. the big leagues they do not bat that way. R. 8, Dalgleish of Newcastle, Eng., when in .Regina said the people in the West asked for the Haatson Bay route and tate country spent $00,000,000 to give it to them and now they don't make use of it, Mr. Dalgleish has found out Some- thing that the people in this country have knownfor some time. We read that the name of Capt. EySton is pronounced fce-ton. That is the opinion of the St. Thomas Times -Journal. But if Eys is pro- nounced ice, then what does the St. Thomas paper call that stuff we have on the ground in cold. weather? Toronto finds it 11ae a. number of people on its relief list who are now starting to repay the city for ad- vances' made fn past months, There is no law to force such payment but people with such an outlook are a law unto themselves, Likewise an example in gratitude. There have been. 30 Blue Water Beauties+ selected and they are to hare something to do with the. of- ficial opening of the international bridge between Sarnia and Port Huron, And like as not Messrs. leueston and 'Mckenzie of the Sa10110 Canadian Observer will have something to dowith the same event. * * * * STUPID * " * (By A. 0, K.) * * 71 Wliy files 00111e in here I don't know, there's other places' they could go, they're stupid so I think; they oannat find a peaceful seat, there's not a thing that they can eat, and nothing here to drink, The eating places down the block, have got a stack of .food ,in stock, there's sugar and there's cake; if they woull ge ni there anti sit, and sort of hang around a hit, there°s' something )hay could take.
