The needle -Point
(MRS. NORMA
A man who is working his son's
way through college says higher
education was never higher than
it is today,
This is the month when thous-
ands of young Canadians are grad-
uating from our schools and uni-
versilies and are about to take
their places in this challenging
world of ours. We wish the best
for them as they launch out eag-
erly on the adventure of life.
What. would I wish for them at
this critical moment of their life.
I don't expect my choice to agree
with theirs. At their age, I would
have chosen differently. Things
that were once of tremendous im-
portance to me, don't seem to mat-
ter nearly as much now.
Without hesitation, I pass over
the lives of east and comfort—the
soft and sheltered lives — and
choose a life of struggle and dif-
ficulty. I want them to develope
wisdom,and understanding, cour-
age and strength of character. The
price of strength—physical, nor-
mal and spiritual is struggle.
Next I would choose a life of
service to mankind and pass over
the Iife of material success. I have
lived long enough to know that
the greatest satisfaction and deep-
est happiness comes from giving
not from getting.
They are going to say, "It is
my life and I have only one life
to live, I am going to spend it for
myself. I will say to them "The
way you get the most out of life
for yourself is to forget yourself
and spend it in usefullness for the
world and your fellow men. It is
the extra things in life that bring
richness and satisfaction. It is
not enough to put in the required
time or effort. Your real success
will depend on your voluntary ov-
er -time and the things you do be-
yond the call of ordinary duty.
I would choose for them the dif-
ficult life of helpfulness that gives
itself freely to the need of others.
That kind of life has two essential
requirements. Obviously in order
to give, we must have something
to give. Material gifts can be tre-
mendously helpful, but the best
gift is the gift of yourself. The
life that is a gift to others will re-
quire inner resources of strength
and inspiration. That is where re-
ligion comes in, What we need re-
ligion for most of all is not so
much to show us what to do, but
to make us live out what we al-
ready know and keep us at it when
the going is rough.
So with all life to choose from,
this is what I want for these
young graduates. Struggle for
character, service for satisfaction
and the religion of Christ to in-
spire them. (Condensed from "Re-
ligion and Life," by Padre W. A.
Young) .

to include here some of his Wes-
tern'
remarks, as typical
tern' humour and thinking.
"You may fool all the people
some of the time; you can even
fool some of the people all the
time; but you can't fool all the
people, all the time."
"The Lord prefers common -look-
ing people like me, That is the
reason he made so many of them."
"With malice toward none; with
charity for all; with firmness in
the right, as God gives us to see
the right, let us strive on to finish
the work we are in; to bind up the
nation's wound; to care for him
who shall have bourne the battle
and for his widow and his or-
phans."
"To do all which may achieve
and cherish a just and lasting
peace among oursleves and with
all nations.
Storybook Gardens, Springbank
Park, London, Ontario
Your children have all read
about Goldilocks and the Three
Bears, Peter Rabbit and Mary and
her lamb, but few of them ever
dared hope they could meet them
in person. But they can, you know
— in Storybook Gardens, along
with many more of their story-
book friends.
This entire project was built by
the staff of the Public Utilities
Commission under the direction of
Tom Gagen, general superintend-
ent, to attract people of London's
beautiful Springbank Park.
The Gardens were opened on
June 27, 1958. Since then almost
400,000 visitors yearly, walk across
the draw -bridge that spans the
water -filled moat and pass through
the miniature mediaeval castle in-
to a land of enchantment.
Daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m dur-
ing the summer months, they can
visit the Old Woman in her gay
little shoe. They will find it fun
to climb the tin ystairs and take
an exciting trip down the slide and
out through the big hole in the
toe.
They can see Slippery, the Sea
Lion, who made himself famous
by running away and travelling all

and Mrs. Kalbfleisch in Florida are
enjoying good health.
the way to Lake Erie before he
was finally captured. Now the
children can buy fish in small bags
and feed Slippery and his mate,
Lonesome, themselves.
After a pleasant time riding in
the miniature train or on the pon-
ies, the children will be glad to
rest under the pleasant trees and
eat a picnic lunch at the picnic
tables provided for this purpose.
Altogether it is sure to be a day
long remembered when you take
the family to spend a day in this
unique park.
Appreciate Reports
Of Nuptial Events
There have been quite a number
of weddings—and there will be
more—in the community this sea-
son. With each is generally as-
sociated pre -nuptial showers, pres-
entations and trousseau teas, as
well as post nuptial reception.
The Citizens News would appre-
cnate reports of all such events—
immediately they take place.
Hostesses go to a good deal of
work and planning in arranging
such events and we would suggest
that they complete the tribute to
the guest of honour, by seeing that
arrangemens are made to have
the event reported.

"CHARITY" " (continued)
1 Cor. 13: 8-10, 13
CHARITY NEVER FAILETH, BUT:
whether there be prophecies they shall fail;
whether there be tongues they shall cease;
whether there be knowledge it shall pass away.
For we know in part, and we prophecy in part.
But when that which is imperfect is come,
Then that which is in part shall be done away.
(See verses 11, 12 for illustration)
And now abideth Faith, Hope, Charity, these three;
but the greatest of these is

Who is Educated?
You are not really educated un-
less you can answer "Yes" to all
these questions.
1. Has your education given you
sympathy with all good causes and
made you want to help them?
2. Has it made you public spiri-
ted?
3. Has it made you a brother to
the weak?
4. Have you learned how to
make friends and keep them?
5. Do you see anything to love
in a little child?
6. Will a lonely dog follow you
down the street?
7. Can you be high-minded and
happy in the meaner drudgeries of
life?
8. Do you think washing dishes
and hoeing corn just as compat-
ible with high thinking as piano
playing and golf?
9. Can you be happy alone?
10. Can you look out in the wor-
ld and see anything but dollars
and cents?
A great man is what he is, be-
cause he was what he was.
Dominion Day
Many men have devoted their
lives to making this country great.
To me, Lincoln has always stood
as a symbol of American demo-
cracy—and by America, I mean
-United States and Canada. He
tions that help a man to greatness
—not apearance, eloquence, educa-
had none of the usual qualifica-
tion, wealth or family background.
But he had a simple trust in God
andan intense love of his fellow-
man. These two attributes coup-
led with determination raised him
to the highest position in the
country and enabled him to guide
it safely through the most trying
time in the whole history.
Somehow, it seems appropriate,
