Going_ Up
The long, dry., hot spell is going to
have an effect on prices. In' fact it -
already has. Butter is Up; milk and
cream and ,vegetables are looking
that way.
Often an excuse is as good a- rea-
son for a' rise In prices as anything
else. But if the present weather
coltinues much . longer, there will be
no need' of excuses. The reason will
'be quite apparent; and that reason
will be a scarcity of "produce.
Already many , farmers are feed-
ing their dairy cows in the barn, or
supplementing the pastures by draw-
ing hay to them. Spring grains, like
barley, are not filling, and oats are
worse:
Roots are at a stand still; early
potatoes have dried up and later ones
are going back. Cherries, rasp'ber-
---ries and other small -fruits are not . a..
crop at' all.
Even vegeta'bl'es " are making no
progress and merchants are report-
ing a scarcity of all kinds. Streams
and creeks and even the wells are
drying ::up in many sections. The
-prospect is not a cheering one.
There' was an 'excellent ha,y crop,
but there would need to be, if farm-
,ers have to start feeding it in the
middle of July. Wheat is good, but'
there is not much grown now. It can
not take the place of spring grains
and roots.
So far the cool nights have saved
the, situation to a certain extent, but
we need rain and we need it badly.
Even rain, if it came now, would b& -
too late to save some crops, but en-
ough of it wouldbring back the pas-
tures and -save the feed. -..
Living costs are going up' now.
Without immediate rain they are go-
ing higher. If the heat and drought
continue, there will be .more than a
scarcity of some things next winter..
There will be .a famine. And every-
thing else will be up in price. Away
up.
To the householder and the family
man, the immediate prospect is one
to be viewed with misgiving, but
don't forget we have been promised
both a' seed time and a harvest. We
have had the one; we will get the
other. At least it always has been
that way in Huron anyway.

Main Street Parking ,
At the last meeting of the Seaforth
council notice of motion was given
that at the August meeting a motion
would be introduced to amend -t}e'
Main Street parking by-law, chang-y
ing the system from central. parking
to angle parking on both sides of the
street.
We understand that Mitchell and
Seeaforttl are the only two towns in
Ontario 'where central parking is in
force. In Mitchell, where the Main
Street is half as, wide again'- as in
Seaforth, central parking may work
to `advantage, or to no great disad-
- vantage to the travelling public.
In Seaforth, however, the situation
is otherwise, and very much so. Just
w`ly central parking in Seaforth was
adopted in the first place, it is very
hard to say. Certainly it showed'
Very little foresight on the part of
the authorities'at that tinge, and since

parkinig was, it has worked out
' from the first to mean three lines of
parkked ears on Main Street, instead
of .-one or -two. -fit--h meant -that
peopleleaving their parked cars
have to step into the face of traffic
to reach the stores on "either side of
the street.
In fact, in recent years, •particu-
larly on a Saturday night, it has 'be-
come very difficult, if not impossible,
to reach the sidewalk's at all, because
the cars are parked so closely one
behind the other along the curbs.
Cars are not all the same size nor
the same length and all motorists
are not just as particular as they
might be when parking in the centre
of the street. The result is that the
line of cars facing either lanes of
traffic resemble more a rail fence
than anything "else.
This rail -fence line, with cars
parked solidly at the curb so reduces
the width, of the traffic lanes that
progress is exceedingly slow and
many times on a Saturday night it
comes to a full and prolonged stop.
With traffic in such a tangle, it has ,
not been the skill of the drivers, nor
yet the • watchfulness of • the pedes-
trians, that have prevented serious
accidents. It has simply been the
grace of Providence. The claim that
Main Street is not wide enough for
angle parking on the side, will not
hold, because there cannot be less
room f or through traffic be-
P.tween two lines of cars, than there
is now with three such lines of cars.
With angle parking on the sides,
the approach to business places
would be much' more easy, to accom-
plishit,. and it would be much safer.
Other Ontario towns with similar
Main Streets " and even narrower
ones, learned this truth long ago, and
we are glad that our council has at
least seen the light and will take
steps to remedy a condition that has
become intolerable, and a menace to
public safety.

Golden Text—Revelation 2:10.
In the 'first part of to -day's lesson.
we . are introduced to Saul. Stephen
we have met before. He was one o'f
the seven mien chosen as deacons and
he at that time was described as "a
man full of faith and the Holy
Ghost." He, later .on, did great won-
ders and miracles among the pepp'le•.
This brought him into public notice,
se that he was eventually ?brought

an instigator was'a young :man—tSaail
—a pupil of 'Gamealiel, one of the
leading members of the Sanhedrin.
No doubt it was from him, who in
after years was St., Paul with 'whom
Luke ass'ociat'ed,. that this detailed
account of Stephen's martyrdoms was
received. The .very look on Steph-
en's face as he prayed for his mur-
derers must have 'been burned into
his 'membry. It caused him at the
time, however, tba burr with hatred
to the sect of the :N•azarenes, for we
reed': "As for Saul, he made 'havoc
of the :church, entering 'into every
house and, haling mien and women,
eo'mnni'itted them to 'prison," St. Au-
gustine said ;If IShelph'e'n had not pray-
ed the :Clhurcih would not have had

'The result Of Stephen's m:artyr-
dom was to i•end!er the •Church's state
at J'e'rusalem, worse for the time. 'Fhe
'nriem!bers of the church were sca't-
tered' 'fair and wide, all except the
Apostles. One miig-ht have expected
that they would have •'been specially
tsou'ghk after; and would , have been
neoesseritl'y the fi•rs't to' dee. There
tis an 'early tradition, however, 'which
goes back to the second century, that
our 'Lord 'order'ed:- the Apostles to
remain 'in•• the city of Jerusalem for
twelve yeaers after 't'h'e 'Aecantsion, in
Order that everyone there might
have an ,opportunity of hearing the

The world knows net as a race of
black men.
We became . {hewers. of cows d, and
„drawers ;of' water for udtr., masters,'
We suffered and struggled and wait-
ed for the -time of our redemption.
But we are more than 'black men.
,We are red. men—men with whdte-
skin'st—dbrown men of the islands of
the sea—yellow men of the distant
.east.
All1 colors, all races, all lands are
'ours, for w'h'erever any ignorant or
wilful man denies to his fellowman
his full chance of life, there ,we are.
Bub we are more than men.
We are hopes'—that failed. We are
love—that was tclenied. We are
dreaants--that a harsh world burned
to the ashes of 'bitterrne'ss. We are
human 'imagination',-�that died at its
birth. We are courage—Slain. We
are creative minds—crushed among
Machines' and routines:. -We are flam-
ing apiritsl-_smot'h'ered 'at their first
flicker of 'div.ine promise.
'Wee a're the 'chained powers of all
the half-,pers!ontalities of the world.
,We are the blood -brothers of the
buried powers that have not yet been
released in your,
.Wle all frays await the Great Liber-
ator:
We await those who will unveil our
faces, give a wide vista to our eyes,
and endow us with the tools of liv-
ing.
1 -We await the touch' of the propeh-
eter, the seers of 'life, the teachers
who r2'vietal the "secrets of the ' s'p'irit.
We await the tourcth of Him who
said that He had come to "proclaim
release to the captives , to set
at 'lalbertyi them that are brutisedl.'! ,
tWte are the ens'lav'ed.—IP. R.
