THE CRY OF THE ,DREAMER
I am tired of planning- and •'toiling.
In the .crowded hives of men:
Heart weary .oL building and spoiling,
And spoiling and building again •
And I long for the dean old river,
Where I dreamed my youth eway;
. For a dreamer lives forever
And toiler in a day.
I am sick of the showy seeming
Of a life that is half a lie;
of the faces lined with scheming.
In the throng that hurries by.
-From the sleepless thoughts endeavour
I would go where the children Play;
For a dreamer lives forever
And a toiler dies in a day. ..
1 can feel no pride, but pity
For the burdens the rich endure;
There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives of the poor,
Ohl the little handstoo skillful,
And the child mind cholced with weeds!
The daughter's heart grown wilful,
And the father's heart that bleeds!
No, not From the streets' rude bustle,
From trophiesof mart and stage,
S would fly to the wood's low rustle
And the meadow's kindly page.
' Let me dream as of old by the river,
And - be loved. for . the dream alway
For a dreamer lives forever,
And a toiler dies in a day.
J B -O'Reilly.

I' NEW TELEPHONE DIRECTORY
The Smiths may thrive in Stroller(
but theyt'don't do so well in Seaforth
This conclusion is reached after a
study of the newtelephone directory
for Stratford and vicinity, which is.
now being mailed to local sub-
scribers.
Easily first in the Stratford section
are the- Smiths, with 42 listings. In
Seaforth, the Smiths are topped by.
the Scotts and are closely followed by,
the Dolmagea.
According to 13. H. P. Johnston,
Bell Telephone manager in this area,
there aro nearly 3;000 listings new
and changed since the last issue, in-
cluding a number in the Seatmthlist.
hr view of the large number of
changes, Mr. Johnston expressed the
!tope that subscribers would consult
the new directory caretully before
placing calls, and make corrections
to desk lists and memo pad's;
"Avoiding unnecessary, calls to
wrong numbers will help us to serve
you better, despite wartime diffieul-,
ties," the Bell manager said:.
