S. ATKEY, Editor.. A. L. COLQUHOUN, Plant Manager THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1951 The Seal of ONE OF THE FIRST SIGNS of Christmas is the arrival of Christmas Seals, which reminds us that even inidanada, one of the half dozen coun- tries` in the world's lowest tuberculosis death rates, we still have to fight tuberculosis. Now we know there are those who object to the idea of Christmas being mixed up with di- sease. - They want all to he mirth and pollity.. Well, mirth and jollity are wonderful. The catch is that they have to be arranged for a long way ahead. If we want all .to be light' and laughter, we must forestall the unhappy eventsthat blight it so far as it is .possiibie to do so. If the day before Christmas is an average day, as far- as tuberculosis is concerned, there will be ten deaths in Canada 'from this cause that day. It will have been the same all through De- cember. For the year, the total has been about 4,000. That means many homes wheer there won't be much singing. Because these cases of tuberculosis were not prevented two, three, per- haps ten years ago this will not be a merry Christmas, Now is the time for us to prevent similar sadness two, three or•'five years from now. But let us look at the bright side of the pie Christmas ture, Twiceas many homes were saddened by death from tuberculosis at Christmas 1931 as there will b ethis Christmas. That means .that thousands of famitles will be joyous, with never a thought that danger was avertTd, That's fine. That's the way Christmas should be. That:s the way we want to make it for everyone. The Santa, who looks at us from this year's Christmas Seal, periainly looks merry enough -- and well he may. He's on the' Christmas Seals and they have been paying for tuberculosis pre- vention whic hhas made it possible for a great many people to feel mirthful and jolly,. They will go right on preventing tuberculosis right here in Huron County. Our part is to buy them so that they win get a chance to keep up their good work. Last year the sale of Seals in the County of Huron amounted to $5425.85: It is hoped that • in 1951 sales will be much greater. The costs of the Association will be greater in. 1951 because a County -wide Mass X -ray -survey is to be conducted. Support the work of the Huron County Tuber- culosis Association by buying Christmas Seals! Let the Campaign which began Monday, Novem- ber 19, be a great success! Lifelong Learning The Key By J. ROY GILLEY, Director, University Extension, University of Toronto - LIFELONG LEARNING is the real hope of which is in the university tradition, The in -d- our democracy; the old view that a Canadian's varsity also reaches into the, community through "eduction" ended wit helementary or secondary . school — or even with university has been pretty well discarded. On all sides we find ac- ceptance of the premise that learning is a con- tinuous process. The materialists say the ultimate in human attainment is "security" — adequate housinfl plenty of food, a minimum of work, and no wor- ries or responsibilities. But such a purely ma- terialistic philosophy- has truly been called the height of untilligence. Man is more than an edu- cated animal. Spiritual values must be nurtured and nourished from the cradle to the grave. Statistics show that approximately 10 per cent, of all Canadians are over 65. The trend to longer life expectancy is continuing and, with it, the flieid for adult education is growing year by year. At the same time, air travel, radio and television are bringing the culture of far -away lands to our doorsteps. The Massey Report on national development in the arts, letters, and sciences "'Eras' emphasized the vital part that the universities play through providing a centre for adult education. The re- port points out that not only' does the university serve voluntary groups, it is also the fountain- head of a stream of communal activities. Uni- versity libraries, conservatories. of music, collec- tions of pictures, films, gramaphone records, museum materials of all sorts are placed at the disposal of the public in that hospitable spirit night classes, summer schools, musical organiz- ations and extension departments. They provide many with an opportunity to broaden their in- terests and deepen their understanding. Taking the University of Toronto as an example, lectures on almost every conceivable subject are available for adults of all ages. The hhsewife anxious"'to snake her home beautiful may study period furniture at the Royal Ontario Museum, Men or women who realize that the"inability to express themselves is handi- capping them in business or community life have a variety of courses in Public Speaking and in Speech Improvement to choose from. Courses are given in modern languages, Slavic subjects, home 'gardening, English, music appreciation, magazine writing and many other subjects. In night classes in technical schools, handi- clafts give many people a sense of relief from strain and a feeling of accomplishment. For the man who sits at a desk ail day, there is no better therapy than to acquire skill with his hands. All of this effort to furnish facilities for adult education stems from a realization of the need to provide a balanced life for the individual. Some' people choose a different university extension course each session. Think of the interest they add to their lives over a few years. Education is a venture of faith in the future, and those who think of learning as a continuing process will find life full of new and exciting ex- periences. - i HOLMESVILLE WMS' and WA Meet The November meeting of the WMS was held at the home of Mrs. C. Wilson on Tuesday, with a good attendance, The meeting opened with the call to worship by the leader, Mrs. Lloyd Bond. Scripture passages were read by Mrs. Reg. Miller and Mrs. E. J.

Letters to Editor MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS Editor, Clinton News -Record DEAR SIR: I felt that ` this was the place for this letter, as it concerns a public question and requires an answer that all may read. So many people have com- mented: The persons responsible assumes that one's name is on the deed so it is put on the voters' list.. The next election apparent- ly assumed it isn't, so it is not on the list. Consequently, the voters' lists are not consistent. Persons get a vote when not entitled to it and don't get one ' when • they should; this causes a lot of dis- satisfaction, Why all this assuming some- thing which should be positive? Isn't it a legal affair? How would our courts be run if a judge just assumed the prisoner to be guilty or not? Granted, some things have to be assumed but why not a positive system where voters' lists are concern- ed? Another question: Why not husband and wife entitled to vote even if only one name on the house deed? Often the one whose name if left off is the one who ensures 'that the taxes are paid. After all, they both pull together in that business so why not equal privilege in helping to decide town affairs?, (Signed) (MRS.) ELSIE (J. E.)
