',a:Os/Idea would seem to point to ca r,°413t that the blame for motor se- en* e - e n lies not with the cars them- ree$,vesr Taut with the people who drive 'teem, either from •behind the wheel ar from the back seat. No doubt every driver who started silk on a -week end trip had right in the front of his mind the fact that owing to the civic holiday, week end traffic, always heavy, would perhaps &4e doubled, and on this account de- termined to be a careful driver. And it payed, This carefulness saved the lives of no one knows how many -it always does pay. A car is no place for a fool, whether he be a driver or a passenger. There will be no safety on the public highways un- til the reckless and the crazy driver are barred and their permits perman- ently cancelled. And ,the sooner it takes place, the better. it pay? And the answer to this question in all but a few minds would be a most emphatic No. That is wrong. Big corporations like banks and insurance companies or railroads and large wholesale and retail stores are not, as a rule, very charitably in- clined. They don't work for human- ity alone. Yet in these institutions, a yearly vacation for all employees is an established custom. Big business does not give its em- ployees a two weeks' vacation each summer because it is a nice, a kind or a Christian thing to do, but be- cause experience has taught that a vacation is necessary if efficient ser- vice is to be maintained. In other words that it pays. There is no bigger business than farming, but too often it lacks the organization and improved methods that spell success in other lines of endeavor. A yearly vacation for both the farmer and the boy would go a long way in changing that by giving them a better and more frequent op- portunity of seeing how the other fel- low does it. OS THIIS TIROL ? In Wednesday's Globe a letter ap- peared in the People's Column, writ- ten from Bowmanville by a man. who said in part: "When I passed through a summer resort called Grand Bend, a couple of hours' run from Sarnia, I saw more than a half dozen of American flags flying from the hotel and a large one at the mast head on the golf course sand no sign of a British or Canadian anrblem in the vicinity." Is that true? There are hundreds of American visitors at Grand Bend every year and if the American flag is much in evidence, it may be an evidence of the citizen's intention of paying a compliment to these Ameri- can visitors. International rules that a foreign flag may not be flown separately or above the national flag of that particular country, which in this case happened to be Canada. If the statement of this writer is true, no matter what the intention of the citizens of Grand Bend may have been, the result is a very doubtful compliment to American visitors, be- cause there is something very insin- cere in the actions Df a man who will boost a foreign country at the ex- pense of his own. We are inclined to the belief, how- ever, that this writer must have been jest a little too critical. Grand Bend is too good a summer resort. and its .citizens are too good Canadians and too wide awake business men to de- liberately fall into such an errcr. It must have been an accident. courtesy, however, crns14Lmjis' day and those farmers who have threshed report a very satisfactory yield.

Kyle's field, down by the river -side. Even nature seemed in tune as the northern lights in won- derful splendour shot darts of flame from the Northern horizon. The ever changing play of shooting lights prov- ed very interesting and awe-inspiring to all. Games and a sing -song around the camp fire was followed by the roasting of weiners in the glowing coals and these were accompanied by other pleasing delicacies. A short speech from the president, Miss J. lvison, and the hearty singing of God Save the King brought the pleas- ant evening to a close. -The regular monthly meeting of the W. M.

FARM BOYS AND HOU DAYS The St. Thomas Times -Journal and the Toronto Globe have been discuss- ing, through .their editorial columns, the right of a farm boy to a holiday like other boys. In this connection the St. Thomas paper says: Unless he has this advantage at least annually he cannot become the sort of citizen that the present day demands. For a boy to labor six days in the week from sun to sun, no mat- ter how useful his work may be, is to ensure his becoming narrow, self - 'centred, dull, stale, and dissatisfied. Nor is it sufficient to send the farm boy for a visit to some of his rela- tives. Such a visit may do good. but is quite as likely to prove harmful. To this the Globe adds: It is just as true when applied to the farmer or the farm boy that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. For years there has been an outcry about the exodus of young men and women from the country to the town, and many harrowing stories have been told of farms deserted and forsaken because the young people had left them for the bright lights of the city. There may be many rea- sons to account for this condition. May not one of them be this lack of a regular holiday in the life of the -farm boy? Both papers are right because there can lee no question of the truth of the saying that all work and no play snakes Jack a dull boy. At the same time most farmers would find it an .almost impossible task to give their %boys a vacation in vacation time. Vacation time in cities and towns is harvest time in the country. And harvests are like time and tides, they wait tar no man. When the harvest is ripe, it has to be garnered or the -farmer has lost a year's. work and a large slice of his capital and farming is not such a lucrative profession that it will stand much of that sort of rosinesse ut there are other seasons of the 'year besides summer, that would are just as well for vacation pure. 0615{a, On the farm there are times the whiter, between seed time and ` ialWertt, after har'v'est and in the fall theffll'mier and the boys could 6 ' tiitbilq • Without neglecting t101,46 fattift *alt.
