It is a common fallacy that in
order to "get along" with
other people we should agree
with them, accommodate
them, and generally conform
to theft ways. 4
But the superficial kind of
popularity gained by making
too many concessions is not
desirable. Moreover, people
have a better opinion of the
man who stands by his own
beliefs and convictions -
without being opinionated,
narrow-minded or queer.The
popularity he enjoys may not
be so widespread but, being
based on respect, it is much
to be preferred. •
By the same token, it never
pays to act in any foreign
to our real nature. Trying to
be someone or something
we'renot, bluffing, pretend-
ing we like something we dis-
like these and all other at-
tempts to create misleading
impressions put us under a
strain. And this, in turn, dis-
torts our personalities in a
way that does not win friends
and influences nobody.
So never imitate the cha-
meleon or the ostrich. Al-
ways be yourself!
When a life insurance agent
talks enthusiastically about
rhe advantages of life insur-
ance he is not just repeating
what others say: He speaks
from his own sincere convic-
tion that there is no easier,
more dependable way to pro-
vide protection for depend-
ants and income for future
needs. ra... r79

_ SPORTS.
A well-known sports figure and a
former hockey referee, Tom Mon-
roe, saw his first recent N.ILL. gam}e
some time ago. He' states that he
doesn't know what has happened to
the ice game in the past few years.
The only thing about the game
which he saw which resembled hock-
ey was the fact that the players wore
skates. He is amazed that such a
poor excuse for hockey continues to
draw crowds. That . is why many
sports fans prefer to watch Junior
'A' hockey. There the boys at least
try. to save some of the rudiments
of the sport.
N.H.L. hockey is now merely a
dressed -up version of shinny. We al-
ways get a bang out of reading that
someone scored a goal on a beauti-
ful "screened shot".
A screened shot results when 10
players get scrambled and piled up
in front of or near the net and one
of them takes a wild bat at the rub-
ber. This is the most potent scoring
play in pro hockey, so you get an
idea of how much science there now
is in the game.

In Co-operative History
After 35 years of service to farmers and others,
Ontario's provincial co-operative has been reorgan-
ized as a federation, officially owned and controlled
by over a hundred local co-operatives with 40,000
member -fa mi I ies.
During the year ended September 30, 1948,
the Central attained a new record of volume at 38
million dollars and'netted 350 thousand dollars of
earnings. -
g
Locals will find their Central of increasing
value both in wholesaling and manufacturing Co-op
Brand farm supplies and consumer goods and as a
central marketing service for a number of major
farm products.

The End of the Power Cutoffs
Does NOT Mean
The End of the Power Shortage
All Cols:.: vers must continue
th . dr eft its to e t down on electricity
While improved water conditions resulting from recent rainfall in the
right places, have enabled The Hydro -Electric Power Commission of
Ontario to increase quotas to municipalities, water flow conditions
os'e still not normal. Therefore, it is vitally important that all con-
sumers -industrial, commercial, domestic and rural -be constantly
on the alert to avoid all, unnecessary use of electricity.
Your co-operation in the past has helped. Here are a few sugges-
tions as to how you can continue to help.
Turn off all unnecessary lights. Do not leave lights burning in empty
rooms, hails, basement, attic, porch and garage.
At the evening study or reading hours, group the family around the
reading lamp and turn off other tights.
Replace targe Tight bulbs with smaller ones.
Where water is electrically heated, use hot water sparingly.
Watch the switches on your range, your iron and other appliances.
Turn them off as quickly as possible. Often the stored heat will finish
the jobs. Use "High" heat for as short a time as possible for cooking
or for boiling wafer.
Don't let motors on motor -driven equipment run needlessly in horse or
factory.
In factory, store or office, don't tight a row or cluster of overhead lights
when a single light nearby will do.
Do your part to cut down on electrkity : nd keep pay envelopes full.
