Assistant ENZIE y U •, Assistant ] Station PILO 1 Unmistakable Signs Of Spring THE ROADS are beginning to appear again from under their blanket of clean snow and ice, pushing up their dirty gravelled treads, studded with bumps and filled with brownish water. The crushed stone driveways, so crisp and white last fall, are •emerging coated with layer miter layer of gooey red ash deposited there in desperation and frnstiation throughout the winter. Door mats, instead 'of presenting their usual toasted brown surface, are clogged with gobs of mud. Shovels, scrapers, misplaced gloves, waste paper, scrap lumber, garbage can lids, and other implements et daily living long ago given up as lost, are becoming a nuisance 'underfoot. Gates, previously fast stuck in cement -like 'ice, are breaking 'free and swinging dangerously in the high winds of late February. Small children are bogging down in the treacherous topsoil which, .aonne day, will be grass -covered. Ditches are running at peak capacity, bearing away ton after ton of" soot -soiled water, clogging retrains and storm sewers' and eroding landscaped areas, High above it all the first robins are dodging the pellets from :little boys' sling shots . . . And just to make it intereeting, grey skies presage more snow and lower temperatures!!! s m' "9 6t kt-gm," You expect efficient service from your neighborhood bank and you get it because banks compete with each other to serve you.

Editor's Note: Whipper Billy Watson is former heavyweight wrestling champion of the world and currently holds the British Empire championship. He is rated the top Canadian wrestler of the past decade and received votes from sports .editors and sportscasters as the outstanding athlete of the pest half -century in the miscellan- eous sports bracket in the re- cent Canadian Press pole. He is head of Whippet's Safety Club, a children's traffic or- • ganization, which has close to 35,000 youthful members across Canada and in many 13. S. centres. "I know this to be a fact, as I have visited a great many of these crippled children in sev- eral cities in my wrestling trav- els and I've always found them to be exceptionally happy child- ren, even though they are handi- cepped. "They strike mc, as being par- ticularly deserving of whatever we can do for them, because they are always full of fun, have a big smile and never seem to give up hope that they will some day get well. They actually make some of us feel. ashamed .for the undue concern we have over our petty, daily problems. `Anything we can do to bright- en and improve their rat is worth- while, However, the most logi- cal way to do this is undoubtedly by giving our financial support to the organization whose prime objective is their welfare—nam- ely, the Ontario Society for Crip- pled Children, "This can be done by contribut- ing to the Society's Easter Seals Campaign February 25 to March 25. "With God's help. the child- ren's own faith and our material aid, their future is bound to be happier, .1: have a sincere interest In children, constantly speaking on safety to youngsters in schools, as 1 believe this too is a great field in which to save lives. "I also appreciate the unques- tionable fact that something' must be done foe the unfortunate crippled kiddies. That's why the Easter Seals Campaign deserves all the assistance we can give."
