Following so fate behind her that one wondered to whom he belonged was a little childa about two years of age. Cars going up and down the road. Finally the another turned around, looked at, the .little lad and pursued her leisurely 'way along; There was nothing but God's loving care to prevent that little boy fromi' running on the roadway and 'being knocked over by 'a passing ear. A careless mother like that cannot be expected to teach, her little one net to forget the dangers of the streets. Why are we in sympathy with those who get into trouble through forgetfulness. Just simply because we forget ourselves. As we grow older this habit becomes more pro- nounced. This we must admit is our own fault for we become careless over remembering little things, simply because we have had the experience of knowing how easy it is to forget. Parents at times think children cannot be taught`to remember.' until they are past their first birthday. A child' begins to think as soon as it breathes. Mothers know that if a child cries and is picked up from his crib or basinette, the next time he wants to be .gathered into moth - p ''s arms he will cry again, Should a mother begin the habit of lying down beside her baby till he goes to. sleep at night she will have to 'do that until some night she realizes she has other things to do and can- not continue that little ,.pleasure. The child has not forgotten it and doubtless there will be a scene when she attempts to leave him to go to sleep alone. A child does not forget these little everyday events. Come- quently he should be taught to re- member those things which are right for him to Mame-Not to forget should become a part of his Iife, ,"l forgot" is an individual part of our lives. If we forget we cannot blame anyone else for it.

A man coming up to the door on a message had stepped on one of them and had been badly in- jured. According to that article it was indeed surprising the number ' of "forgets" that are gradually coming'under the haw. Someone may go crippled through life because we have been careless and have for- gotten something. 1 OBITUARY MRS. JAMES D. McNAIR' Mae.

Right there is an opportunity for that mother to begin a series of training lessons which may save that child a life time of worry, anxiety and even humiliation, A person who is a continual forgetter is never popular. In the social world they cause a great deal of inconvenience and a person. of such character in business is absolutely irresponsible. A boy, girl, man or woman of such charact- er is often spoken of as "having a one track mind". e enKWelL,1'vee uV eehortr r eleene.-V2�rVtrorlC cit l rut7eneenneee m,l1Peneend eneseee neuW 'm ;evninFSednWnACeeneee•?i' i kl I I D Delay of Drew Government with regard to development of power resources endongers volume available to industry, home and agriculture. The following is an extract from a letter issued by the Secretary of HEPC dated December- 15, 1947: THE HYDRO ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION OF ONTARIO OFFICE OF THE ,SECRETARY To All Municipalities in Southern Ontario: Re POWER CONSERVATION: Although there has been a substantialreduction in the demand of power arising out of voluntary conservation, and the application of restrictions, heavy cuts are still being made in the delivery of power to indaa:try. Moreover, system power resources have recently been reduced owing to lack of rain- fall causing poor water conditions. Winter has now set in and little improvement -can be expected in the replenishment of water storages, with the result that system power resources may be expected to PRO- GRESSIVELY DETERIORATE throughout the remainder of the winter. In these circum- stances it is evident that unless ADDITIONAL VOLUNTARY SAVINGS can be obtained, the Commission will be obliged to ORDER Municipalities to REDUCE their loads front time to time by as march as 15 PER CENT OR POSSIBLY MORE. 620 UNIVERSITY AVE., TORONTO 2 DECEMBER 15, 1947 YOURS TRULY, Osborne Mitchell, SECRETARY Hydro Was 7�i ��� 4 Yours Free (ales PUBLISHED BY HURON LIBERAL ASSOCIATION i:Ti,.4.ii .1212 W4'71% tar 1174.3 wry . 0/5151 . t4 Clinton, who died at his home Friday night, Janwuy 9 in his 80th year, Rev.
