Some boy time later it came to the •attention of Chappell& Company, Ltd., the Lon- don music publishers. They saw in the then even untitled refrain the possibilities of a hit. In 1918, as the to months of the war dna ed nb th an with seeming endlessness, their New York representative suggested that Mr. Seitz re -write it a little more carefully and ad'd to •the re- from a verse that would round it out in ballad form: So he took himself to New York in search of his old collaborator, Eugene Loekhait. Due tc a series of amusing mischances, it took two days for the an to get together in p a room of the McAlpine Hotel. Lock- hart asked for a written rendition of . the complete air which was still only in Seitz's head. Scribbling it off on an improvised sheet of blank music, Seitz set down the notes. Lockhart•, standing up and writing awkwardly against the wall of the room, fitted in the entle sentiments the world was soon to know "Dear one, the world is waiting for the sunrise, .

"" ' 'The second famous ghost village g of Huron, Prosperity, is situated four miles from Dungannon and two and a half miles from St. Augustine. A blacksmith oho came into beingCOST there in 1875. p11 was operated by Arthur Ferguson. The corners came to be known as Leddyvale, because g . of several Leddys livingin the neigh- borhaod.

Other businesses developed and a movement started to make the queer- ly named community into a post of -cannot Tice, and the petition was granted. The name of Mafeking was turned down by the post office department, because of the fact chat another post office had been granted that name. Then ' at last, in discussing it, some- body mentioned that they hoped it would have prosperity with such a name, so Prosperity it became. But the advent of rural mail car- tiers saw the doom of Prosperity. It began to dwindle and Huron County lost its Prosperity, The buildings have gradually been taken away, and the first post office in Prosperity is now a driving shed on a near -by farm.

We have no fault to find . with the old folks who are receiving the po- cion provided, but there is much which could be said of the sons and daughters who are - in a financial position to give their parents a happy home in their latter years. There is legislation gi ation which requires sons to support their parents, where :circumstances are such as have been mentioned. We can see, no reason `wh the province and Dominion should thus subsidize those throu h their o selfishness g wn their grants to ecce the permitP Pi ' old age pension. I If other counties and districts have the same proportion of these as has p P the county of Bruce, then there is ample room for a closer investigation ,before pensions are granted.—Kin- caxdine Neus.

Dundalk Herald Dependency of Youth A study of the earnings of Can- adian wage-earners in the last three decennial census years indicates that the average young person on reach- ing the age of 20 do 1911 had earn- ed twice as much as those reaching 20 20 in 1931. In the latter year the average accumulated earnings of a person's 'teens were equal to slight- ly less than one year's earnings of an adult male; in 1921 they had been the equivalent of 1.4 adult q years; and in 1911 had equalled two. The actual accumulated earnings of young people on reaching their twen- tieth birthdayunder' conditions of 1931 were •$892 a sum sufficient to supported them for two years at the rate of $37 per month. It might be said that they were inde- Pendent on reaching the age of 18 in 1931, the age of 17 in 1921, and 16 in 1911,terian A comparison of school attendance p records in the sante three census shows that the average child spent two more years at school in 1931 than in 1911. Whereas the child at- yearsdemand tended school for 6.58 full un- der conditions of 1911 (10 months' attendance being taken as a full Year), he spent 7.58 years at school in 1921 and, 8.55 years in 1931. Tli'e same'tsvo-itY, Year increase'is evident in the census records of the number of children attending school for . some time during the census years; the average child under conditions of 1911 was enrolled in school for 7.96 years, •for , 9:13 years in 1921, fer and 9,89 years in 1931, Thus, the two years of added dependency as revealed by earnings: were spent in school. In 1911, the age for leaving school was 14,38, the age for achieving ec- onomic independence 16 years: The former rose to 16.25 in 1931, the lot ter to 18 years: Thus, there has been a continuous gap of approximately 1.76 years to earn enough to sup- port himself. School records of age o Pupils in the years since 1931 indicate that the long-term trend is not yet broken. Pupils are remain- ing,; in school up to still older ages. If the tendency continues unchecked, young people will in a few years be dependent on parents at the age of 20. PROMOTED Norman M.
