An editorial appeared in :a recent
issue of the Financial ,Host, headed,
"Conscription and Citizenship" which
'we thought carried a -subject for a
great deal of controversy: The sub-
ject or question is whether or not it
would be a good idea to have the
whole youth of acountry devote a
period to military training. President
Truman has called for a pl;ua for
universal military 'training for 1:8 -
year -olds No doubt a great many
will be iu favor of such a plan
while others will be bitter against its
development. The editorial. in '•the
F.P. states that many a youth would
benefit greatly by such a plan, while
ethers would find it little more than
a chance to get away front accustom-
ed restraint's and the opportunity for
enjoyment of the "beer and skittles"
side of military training.
:N *
As the whole issue affects teener:
dircct.ly; wC thought . it would be a
good idea to stop a few of them on
the street and get their reactions.
From 16 di fferent boys we got. 16
different answers, but on the whole
they favoured the idea. For sone
time now many of the schools have
carried cadet training as part of
their curriculum and the guys have
found that they have benefited both
physically and scientifically. War 'to-
day is largely science against science.
Some of the answers we jotted
down were: "I would like the plan
if there was a chance "of making it
a permanent work" — "This idea
would only upset my education and
be a waste of time. By the time we
have another war, the methods of
fighting will be so changed that what
we would learn would be of no use
anyway."-"Soutuls swell to mc. 1
like the idea of being paid for aholi-
day. 'Who knows, I might someday
be a colonel?" — "Our country will
have to be better prepared •for' the
next war than they were for the last
one. I think the idea s sound and
good for any cost it would 'be to a
country"—"I think young fellows of
our age need training like that, es-
pecially at our age, It would be 'a
good start on building a good man."
-"If temptationa were placed in
(font of the boys like they were
during the war, it would be.far more
harmful than good."
We are in no position to say
whethera country id doing right or
wrong in such a plan. We do think
however that a great deal of care
should be taken in making =eh plans
for 18-year-olds and that whoever is
working on such a system should
have all the pros and cons lined up
before presenting such a plan for
public approval.

first Presbyterian minister in the

Well, where would any woman go
who belonged to the AM.—where,
but to Guelph—to lite monster picnic
and pageant in celebration of the
50th -Anniversary.
* * *
And what a clay it was! There
were four of us in our ear and we
arrived about 11.30 a.m. We expect-
ed there would be a crowd but the
number of ears, busses and people
far exceeded our expectations. No
doubt you will have read the details
in the papers - so this account will
have to do with impressions rather
than facts.
We joined the motley throng
around the platform in the afternoon
to hear the addresses and to see the
celebrities of the W I. world, It was
very hot among the crowd and there
• were many who found, it too much
for then. Those in charge of the
First Aid tent on the grounds said
they were busy all the time, they
ever had some stretcher cases
• * : a
During the afternoon the College
kept up its reputation for serving
generous and 'appetising refresh-
ments. Our little party had their
lunch in one of the buildings where
it was nice and cool but by so doing
we missed the bus. Not literally—I
Mean that we were not aware that
the Lieutenant -Governor and others
were receiving in the Administration
building—at least we knew but we
thought it was an official affair,
Imagine us missing out on that!
• * *
However, we didn't miss nnuh of
the evening permormance. Beautiful,
is the only way to describe it; and
We were so proud that a few mem-
`' hers from our own district were on
the platform taking part in the
pageant—and of course acquitting
themselves creditably. 1 ant sure

you will find the pageant very well
Ford's Legacy
What has Henry Ford left 'behind
him? A great industry of which he
was the pace -maker. A production
technique which has put more ma-
chines at the disposal of Man than
ever before. Through all these things
a revolution of the world's social
habits. A wider, more varied life for
millions in town and country For
these services the world', rewarded
him. Isit fair that one man should
be able to amass so much money in
his lifetime? Certainly, if he can
provide such value for money as
Henry Ford did. -London Daily Ex-
press.
P. Clarke
described in your favourite farm
paper as from err position near the.
platform we were able to see those
at the press table and among them
were Miss Ethel. Chapman, Mrs.
Helen isleKee and Mrs. Elizabeth
Hammond, names familiar to all
farm women. So you see if you don't
read all about the. doings at Guelph
it won't be for lack of opportunity
So friends, read all about it and be
proud that YOU are a member of
such a worthwhile organization, and
if you arc not, then for goodness
sake sec that such an omission
.is rectified
* r *
We arrived home without any
mishap—tired, contented and proud.
Contented because now we can say—
"The Anniversary at Guelph—oh yes,
I was there!" Proud because we are
members of the W.1., and tired be-
cause you can't mix with 11,000 other
women and not suffer a little fatigue.
Well, I've conte to the end'of my
space but not the end of my story.
Next week I will tell you of a few
amusing sidelights that you will
never get in any newspaper write-
ups.
Sunday School Lesson
Job, the. Upright Man
Job 1:1, 27:1-5; 31:19-28
Golden Text.—Tvly righteousness
I hold fast, and wilt not let it go:
'my heart shall not reproach me ' so
long as'.1 live.: job 27:6.
Job war a real, not a fictitious
person, possibly antedating ,Jewish
history. He was a wealthy and hon-
ored prince heading a powerftil
clan, the family priest of a happy
household,
Job was "perfect"—not sinless •
and upright, correct in conduct, con-
scientious and consistent Ile feared,
God as a devout and devoted. sub-
ject. He shunned wickedness; he
detested moral depravity; he could
' do nothing that ,corrupted him or
contaminated others. Helping every-
body, he harmed nobody.
Job's charity for the poor allowed
none to perish for want of clothing,
for the fleece of his sheep warmed
and covered them, His consideration
for the orphan and the dependent
kept flim from lifting up his hand
(or "shaking his fist") at then -
rather than do such mischief Job `
would prefer that his arm be
wrenched from the shoulder blade
* +t *
Job fought a false faith in the
great wealth he had won, for he
never put his trust in gold. He al-
lowed Itimself no fleeting joy over
his riches or his rank; despising self-
conceit. Tie engaged in no false
worship, as kissing his hand in ador-
ation to the heavenly bodies—the
Sun or the Moon or the Stars.
So ;Job remained "steadfast, un-
movalile, always abounding in the
work- of the Lord", A pian "perfect
and upright", his naive stood and
survived the severest tests and thus
became an example of suffering
affliction, and of patience,
Nostalgic Sweetness
You can have all our new-fangle4'
,scents and high-priced perfumes, but,
there's nothing much more fragrant
than an old-fashioned lilac tree or fi -
drift of lilies -of -the -valley in fall -
blooni.
