Woods, Bayfield Correspondent) THE RECENT HYDRO INTERRUPTION node uspause to think oaf the inconveniences Allah would result were the electric current to be cult off for any .length of time in this all -electric era; in many instances • no heat, Water or light. In the first place, we did not arise early the kettle before hydro was enough to• boil out off for repairs. •We waited .and wetted, then telephoned. It would be turned on shortly we were informed. But we had gue ste end the pangs of hunger began to gnaw. We managed to squeeze enough water out of the taps for coffee. And so we went back to pioneer days. One of the guests lighted the fireplace and suede a osaest andclean thee; it tke- took . plenty of "elbow -gr blackened pot afterwards! But the dashes could not be washed until the power came on to pump the water; that was'' one compensation for the time being. We happened to be in England eveningin the Spring and Summer of 1939• Every a short period on the "wireless" was devoted to instructing civilians in preparation for war— pails of sand and a shovel were to be keptoutside the door, bucket pumps, xt lies, etc., purchased,. and a trial blackout was t eld in. Somersetshire. Perhaps some, like the wrrr to didn't pay much attention to these , roadoasts; or the weekly government pomp - The Head Of The House -Maybe! Our Own Defence! lets which the postman delivered for; most Britons, like Canadians to -day, clung to the "Peace in out Time" motto. But even though they did 'note believe that war was so close, they were preparing for civil defence. We_tallced to a lady who lived in a rural part on the moors. Her husband was warden of a district.- She wquld drive an ambulance. Each knew what to do if the siren at Porlocx sounded. "But, how could you hear the siren at Porlock?" we enquired. "We have a tele- phone," she replied.. And, are we recalled the conversation, the similarity between that organization and our local. Volunteer Fire Brigade struck us. We all hope that a third world war can be averted but since a military, naval and air force program for defence is being stepped up, should not civilians prepare too? Is it to be only in vital urban centres that civilians are to be prepared for air raids?, Could we not have a few minutes of broad- casting time devoted' to instructions for our protection in case of an air raid? Or a few lines each week in the newspaper? Could not some Township or County Volunteer organiza- tion be set up to deal with it? Perhaps the efficient Fire Brigades could give instructions; anything so long a's residents in both urban and rural areas know what to do should the worst come. Let us be prepared and not sit helplessly in the dark if "the lights" go out! THIS COMING SUNDAY,' June 17, is Father's Day, when there will be the usual frivolous editorials, cartoons . and jokes. the light-hearted approach has become both traditional and characteristic of the dif- ference between the way we celebrate Father's Day and the much more full -hearted warmth we associate with Mother's Day. There is an obvious reason for the distinc- tion. The editorialists, cartoonists and joke- sters are all fathers themselves. It is, there- fore, natural enough that they exploit the man- nual sentimental adjectives when paying tribute to the nation's Mothers, and just as natural that they reach for the funny ad- jectives to cover their self-consciousness about the idea of taking Father's Day at all seriously. Behind this surface levity there is, how- ever, a begrudging admission that when the laughs are all over at Dad's expense, the basic idea of a small annual tribute to Fatherhood is worth at least a passing nod. Comical as he may look in his favourite bowies (long since outmoded), or incongruous as he may seem in his new beachrobe (the very height of fashion), and willing as he so often is to allow the female of the species her unnatural claim to the bright plumage—he is FORGOTTEN- lets ORGOTTEN- i meeting 'of Ontario St. Church, held at the home of Mrs. Was - man, were Mils.

His rewards are small, but important. He is the "pater families" of a small world which he calls Home and Family. Here he has the pleasant fiction if not the actual fact'of power, authority,. the final word. In the larger world he may have none of these things. More lik- ely than not he is the victim of them in all his working hours at office or factory—a feat by the way which explains why he so seldom abuses his power and authority at home. If he is a farmer, of course, he hes the great intangible asset, never fully understood by city lathers, of exercising the traditional preroga- tives of his estate in all his hours• more fully than the Chairmen of the largest Board.

Imperative Needsof Youth that course, but we can offer a few sugges- tions. The youth who graduates this year must "recognize: The need for continuing education; That living democratically is the most sat- isfying form of society; That freedom is an indivisible thing: every- one must be free; That he is part of society; That broadened intellectual activity de- pends upon the give -'and -take; the communica- tion, of ideas; That everything he hears is not necessarily true: he must sift the evidence; That he must discipline himself to meet difficulties, unpleasantness, discomfort, frustra- tion and hardship. and keep his colours flying; That he needs a spiritual guerdon; That his greatest satisfactions will arise from achievement • through work. Some • of these were expressed in his Med- itations by the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurel- ius Antoninus more --than 1,750 years ago: "I learned' endurance of labour end to want little, and to work with my own hands, and not to meddle with other people's affairs, and not to be ready to listen to slander, and not to busy myself with trifling things, and to en- dure freedom of speech. and to become intim- ate with philosophy." YOUTH need not picture its age as a Slender, breathless end rather frantic interlude between childhood and maturity, states The Monthly Letter of The Royal Bank of Canada. Youths leaving school and university this year have not reached some place that is an end, a finality. They are too old for some things, but they are no longer too young for others— that is all. On school -closing day, every graduating boy and girl has a date with history. It is a date which ushers in the significant period toward which their life so far has been an approach. Now, their preparings come to fruition. Everyone enters this stirring period with the beginnings already laid of what is to be his personality. He hos already 'begun to as- semble qualities that make him what he is as distinct from other persons. His future depends upon how he welds these traits and elements of personality into something which is stronger than personality—character. 'No one will Wish to embark upon this sec- ond stage of the voyage through life without a chart which will guide him to the harbour of his choice. He needs to decide what he wants and to count the cost. The very act of planning in this way will develop in him. something that employers of today find to be the greatest lack in workers: sense of respon- sibility. Thinking clearly on his own problems will prepare him to analyse, to plan and to master situations. These are attributes which make a man valuable. The young men and the young women starting out from school this year will wish to formulate a set of general principles by which to set their life course.

BEATTIE'S FUNERAL HOME George B. Beattie C. R. Cook Phone 184W 135R Bombay, India, has had one year of prohibition. As every- where else it was bitterly oppos- ed. Mr. B. G. Kher, chief minister of the state makes this statement: "Not only has prohibition done no harm, financial, material or moral, but such experience as, we have had with it convinces us that it ,has ' rendered a great sere vice to the bulk of the people. The gratitude of persons whose lives were formerly ruined by alcohol, and particularly of their wives and children, is a reward which we are riot prepared to ex- change for the approval of the ill- informed enemies at prohibition." There speaks a statesman who puts the well-being of his people —which was being under -mined by alcohol—before everything else. That's why we are eager to retain the Canada Temperance Act in Huron. It serves the best interests of our people not to provide liquor outlets. (This advertisement is inserted by Huron Temperance FecTere- i b tion). sammegmamETTS "What you need is electricity!"
