ABOUT SCHOOL FAIRS The Educational Costs Committee, of which Dr. Duncan McArthur is lead, have been travelling about On- tario gathering' information relative to our educational system: We have rio quarrel with the powers that be in the fact that they are seeking this information but 'a -statement before this Board by W, H. Taylor, chair- man of the Burford High School .Board we think ;should not pass un- challenged. Newspaper reports credit him with stating that school fairs are breeding dishonesty among the pupils throughout this province. Our experience with school fairs is somewhat limited but for the past three years we have attended a few and talked with those who have had charge or are much interested in these affairs. From what we have seen and from other information we have gain- ed, we are of the opinion that this statement is so sweeping that it is Silly, There may be a few who cheat at school fairs, no doubt there is, but to state that these fairs breed dishon- essty, is going a bit too far. We have more faith in the boys and girls in this province, if they are like the children' in this, district, and no doubt they are, than to pay a great deal of attention to sucha sweeping state- ment. In our opinion, school fairs serve a very useful purpose and if this gen- tleman wishes to satisfy himself on this point, we suggest that he visit some of the school fairs in this dis- trict at Belgrave, Gorrie or St. Hel-' eardlne with a load of players, It was themselves to last minute transporta- a beautiful evening and this seemed tion, to compensate some for the drubbing Salads of greens, alone or in com- otir lads took from the Lakeshore bination; relishes, such as rawcarrots, crew but this very pleasant drive was radishes or celery hearts; tomatoes completely spoiled by the carelessness sliced or stuffed are accompaniments of some threshing outfit which was which like to travel — if not too far. parked on No. 4 highway a short dis- Bread, either as sandwicheswith a tance the other side of Teeswater. variety . of spreads, or buns or 'rolls This outfit was standing on the road with butter, are practically a neces- and attached to it was a water tank sity.

Competition is one thing that will teach children to something better than theywould otherwise do and this practical lesson will develop the de- sire to do things well. To us this is an important part of the training of youth. If some are dishonest then those in charge can correct this mis- taken idea and this also will teach them a very useful lesson. * * * OPPORTUNITIY Whenever we hear yoting people complain that there are no opportun- ities for them we begin to wonder just what they mean. Often we dis- .cover that they think of "opportunity" as a chance to jump right out of school into a well-paid, easy job, with short hours, long week -ends and gen- erous vacations. It is true that that sort of oppor- tunity no longer exists. What is ..more, it never did exist! There seems to always be a place, sometime, somewhere, for the intell- igent, industrious and ambitious boy war girl who really wants to work, is not afraid, of long hours and has good }health and good habits. :In these times it often takes a lot more time to find such an opportun- ity than it did a few years ago, but the seeker who gives up after one or more discouragements demonstrates that he is not the sort of a person. employers- are looking for, * * WATCH YOUR TAIL LIGHT The Traffic Act is changed from time to tune so that accidents on the highways will be reduced but alt the laws made by mart cannot prevent ac- cidents if drivers of cars are not care- ful and other vehicles on the roads Ado not observe the law.

Now we ask you, is that nice? SUMMER SUPPERS By Barbara B. Brooks If you live not too far from a green hill, a public park or a lakeside picnic ground, be sure to plan summer sup- pers that can "take legs and walk"— evening meals that fit : into a basket quite naturally, which look and taste their best ottt-of-doors. Then if sup- per time finds the children restless and the long road uninviting, it is only the work of a moment to pack a bas- ket and an everyday supper becomes an adventure, Many of the so-called one -dish meals are especially suitable. Scalloped potatoes with hart or Can- adian bacon are a favorite in many families. Swiss steak with rice, spa- ghetti with neat balls, meat loaf with potato salad, or any of the fish, meat, or egg salads with sandwiches, lend Bran Honey Orange Squares 1 tbsp. shortening 1 cup honey 1 egg, well beaten lis cup bitter orange marmalade 1 cup bran 1/a cup flour tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. salt 1 cup salted almonds, chopped Creatn shortening and honey.

TELEGRAPHS 7 • trusion of the upper jaw, which leads to irregular andprotruding teeth. Sucking at a "pacifier" promotes ad- enoids, and it causes a constant flow of saliva which keeps the baby drool- ing, leading to a disturbance of the digestion. There is not one thing to be said in favour of this bad habit. Like all other bad habits, the way to deal with it is never to allow it to start. Once bad habits are formed, they .must be corrected, If your baby is one of the unfortunates who spends his days and PACIFIER? • It would be rather ridiculous to call the irritable, irritating and ready -to - fight person a pacifist. It is equally ridiculous to call the thing which is stuck into so many babies' mouths by I. such names as "pacifier", "comfort" 1 and "soother". The so-called pacifier really irritat- es. Certainly the child cries for it, just as he will cry for many other un- desirable things, such as sharp scis- sors, The baby is not to blame, but someone else is. No child ever cried for his 'pacifier" unless someone had, started him in the bad habit of want- ing to have something in his mouth all; the time. + If you doubt that the "pacifier" is really irritating, • ask any man how long he can suck at a dry pipe with- out feeling nauseated. The use of the. "pacifier" -is nothing more or less than a bad habit as far as the baby is :con- cerned. It is a bad habit for many reasons. First of all, it isdangerous. Why? Because it is impossible to keep the "pacifier" scrupulously clean, and cer- tainly anything whichdoes not come up to that standard of cleanliness has no place it a baby's mouth. The "pa- cifier" must, because of the way it lie - comes soiled, often carry disease germs Into the 'child's body. Besides being a filthyarticle, the use of the "pacifier" spoils the natur- al arch of the tuouth by causing a pro - nights with a "pacifier" stuck in his mouth, then there is only one thing to do — burn the "pacifier". Certainly the baby will cry for it, but he will soon forget about it, and he will thus avoid some of the dang- ers of disease, onsets of his digestion and the deformity of the mouth and teeth to which the use of the "pac- ifier" leads in many children. A baby should never go to sleep with any- thing in • his mouth, and when he is awake, his mouth should' be used to received food and drink only: fie:? lI �Ad�l.
