SEAFORTH, Friday, August 16th
You Must Register
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day of next week, August 19th, 20th
and 21st, Canada will take a census
of its man power and woman power.
On one of those three days, every
per on resident in Canada, between
the ages of sixteen years and the
grave, must present him or herself
at the registration booth provided in
the polling division of which they
are a resident, and there answer, be-
fore a Registrar, the questionaire
prepared by the Government.
There are, of.. ,.course, some excep-
tions to this general rule of attend
ance, such as persons incapacitated,
through illness, accident or age. The
registration of these people may be
taken by a Registrar, at their homes,
but ., the , exceptions, are not very
many.
The organization of the registra-
tion follows vert nearly ,the organ-
ization of e, general federal election,
with one very distinct difference. At
a general election, any man or wo-
man of voting age, may abstain from
voting, if , for any reason they feel
so inclined.
In the registration which will take
place 'next week, however, there is
no, such option. Every person, boy
or girl, man or woman, must regis-
ter at the proper registration booth
or make themselves liable to heavy
penalties.
In this case the penalty for non-
' registration during the registration
period is a fine not exceeding two
hundred dollars, or to imprisonment`
for . a team , not exceeding three
mpnths, or to both fine and impris-
onment, and in addition to a further
penalty not exceeding ten dollars for
each day, after the day during which.
registration should have been made,
. for every day the person continues
to be unregistered.
Such a penalty hanging over one •
is not a nice thing to contemplate, '
but 'there is only one way of avoid-
ing it ---and that is to register. • It is
,not an unnecessarily hard task to
perform in the national interests at
this time, nor one that will cause any
great inconvenience. If you are
home, register -at hdxne. If you ;are
away on holidays or business during
the three_registration days, you reg-
ister where you are holidaying or on
business. But you must register—
or else.

What A Dap
Was there ever a generation of
boys, the present excepted, of course,
that did not number thousands
whose secret ambition was one day
to be a railroad engineer?
Very few of those hopes and am-
bitions, however, were ever realized.
But be that as it -may, is there a
business or profession in . life that
does' not contain many, many men,
who still secretlycherish that ambi-
tion
I that were not so, haw , would
oil' account
yfor the actions of six
grown men in Massachusetts who
hired a railroad for sixty dollars the
other day, •and ran the train to their
heart's content for a day.
The railroad was' the line between
Harrison and Brigden in the State
of Maine. Not much of a road, per-
haps, as :it was only fifteen miles
Jong and narrow gauge. But it was
a railroad.
And for twelve hours these six
men took turns stoking the engine,
slwitching the cars, shunting, start-
' ing, stopping and enjoying the im-
;mtense thrill of controlling by their
own hands ,on the throttle, the im-
Menge po 'er of heal. -
They better, they dM just ' as they wanted to,
.- iii 'e ..
a�� ,s� e invited .their
'friends to be pais ngerrs, which, no
doubt, would give each one a chance
to be.. a� conductor, a boyish ambition,
,second only to ;that of engineer.
A - maniso but a:boy -grown, and
far too few ever revert back to boy-
hood 'as these six Massachusetts men
did, even for a day. And what a
day!

Planing No Favorites
M. Camillien Houde is a Canadian
citizen, who has been in the Cana-
dian limelight for a decade or two.
He has been the leader of a great
political panty in the Province of
Quebec. He is a member of the Pro-
vincial Government, and he is the
Mayor of Montreal, the largest city
in Canada.
But Mr. Houde was not satisfied.
In addition to the titles he already
held, he wanted to obtain that of a
martyr. Or perhaps, more correctly
speaking, he wanted the Canadian
Government to place him in the light
of being a martyr before the eyes of
the people of Montreal and the Pro-
vince of Que+bee.
• And the procedure he followed to
obtain his desired endwas to pre-
pare and give a signed statement to
the press in which he said he was
opposed to the proposed registration
in Canada. That he would not reg-
ister himself, and urged his fellow
countrymen to follow his lead.
Such action on the part of any
Canadian citizen runs contrary to
the War Regulations Act at present
in force. And because of that fact
the Dominion Government, instead
of bowing to the wishes' of M. Houde
and placing him on a martyr's
throne, placed him -in an interment
camp.
To date we have not heard a sin-
gle criticism of the government's ac-
tion. In fact the governmeht's action
in the case of M. Houde had the
•same ' soul stirring effect on the
morale of the Canadian people as
the action of the British Government
in taking over, by force where nec-
essary, of the French fleet, had on
the morale of the British Empire
and the world at Iarge. It helped a
lot. •
Canada is going to play no favor-
ites. , Canadians are free. When a
man or a woman objects to our form
of government, that person has a
perfect right to move to some other
place where the laws do suit. But no
- person who wants to be a law unto
himself has any right to live in Can-
ada. And, apparently, no person,
whatever his status in life may be,
is going to. Not even the M. Houde's.

Phil
Osifez of
t•
- Lazy -Meadows :
(Sy Harry J. Royle) .
"YOUNG FOLKS"
Human nature doesn't change much
in young people whether they be drain
ing-a lhorse and buggy or a shiny new
automobile. There cornea a time in
all young lives when.. they begin to
tieel conscious of.the 'Old folks! They
fail to realize that the horse and bug-
gy, or the new automobile or that
new sports. suit and ten dollar set of
manners that they're using, were all
earned by Paw and Maw, They nev-
er consider that in the hard work ne-
cessary- to educate a family, Father
and Mother may have acquired a lit-
tle stoop and wrinkled', tanned faces
and a habit of saying "ain't" and
"don't"' and manners that are service-
able but not fancy.
Of course all young people are not
like this, but last night Mrs. Phil and
I went to a concert. A man -from the
next concession, whom we , know as
"Jerry," came up and bought two
tickets, and following him was his
SOIL . , . a good, plain boy from
the farm with a couple of years at
college and a brand new set of pic-
ture book clothes and' a slicked -down
haircut. • He lagged behind until his
Dad handed over the tickets and
when Jerry found a pair of seats the'
boy si'i•pped over two rows and sat
down by himself.
As long as I 'live I'll never forget
that 'Dad's face as he i turned to say
something . . . and found his son
was, not there and looked over to find
him preening himself in front of a
row of chattering girls from the vil-
lage. His shoulders ;seemed to sag
and he slumped down in the seat and.
when the concert was about half ov-
er he slipped, but. Being just a trifle'
curious and because, the baby didn't
approve of the concert, I went out
afterwards and he was sitting on the
running board of the car, smoking.
Patricia Ann stopped fussing and
Went to sleep on ,the back seat of,
the car and I stepped over to where
Jerry was sitting.
The conversation lapsed into an
awkward pause yea, he.,,said, "Phil,
1 wonder sometimes if education is a
good thing or nat. About the time
you feel proud of having a man in
the family, you discover he's /not so
proud of your. It kinds•, hurts."
It was easy to imagine what he was
thinking. When the neighbors were
buying new cars he was working to
make up that annual drain on -the
family income that would pay for
his son's schooling. Each time he
wore his Sunday suit and found it
aging' into that greenish, shiny way
. , he had to forget that be need-
ed one himself, but scrape together
enough to buy a summer suit or
sports suit for the. bay.. It was easy
to neconcile himself by `thinking that
his son was out in the world' where
he had to keep up appearances.
Jerry, .no doubt, was thinking of
the times when the tea pot on the
sideboard woe getting a collection of
quarters and dollar -bale for some spe-
cial purpose when an urgent letter
came from school saying, al hate to
ask you for this, but I need so Dwell
far such and such a thing. Every-
body else is getting them." And then
Mrs. Jerry w:orild• count out the mon-
ey that had accumulated little by lit-
tle from, the cream and eggs and she
would look up at J'err'y and bhere
wouldn't be a word spoken. He would
just pocket it and buy a money or-
der at the posit office the very next
time he was in 'alp village.
It's hard to realize that scraping
and pinching to raise meney to edu-
cate a boy, means educating him
away from gout. way of life. And, yet
Jerry's boy is at that period. when
outside values are all be knows about.
Re thinks in terms --of how well a
suit looks on a person . . . or if a
man's tie is knotted in- the proper
way . . . and if he speaks the King's
English in a way that" would. do jus -
ace to a book.
He asst yet come to realize
that the serviceable articles of life
are not th.e ..ones. that glitter most,
:JUST A SMILE OR TWO;
For nearly an hour a commercial
traveller had been talking in his most
persuasive and eloquent manner to
ae old Yorkshire .business man. The
old fellow seemed pleased and ' con-
vinced, and the traveller felt sure a
lbbig order would follow.
At ast the Yorkshireman: said:—
"Aa'd like my lad to hear what ye
have to say,' Will ye, coom in the
afternoon and go over your talk
again?" _
"Certainly, sir," replied the travel-
ler, and at the hour appointed he pre-
sented himself for the interview with
father and son.
Once again he went over the points
of the article he had for sale, and
when he had finished the old York-
shireman, turning to his' eon, said en-
:thusdasticaely: "Do you hear.. that,
my, lad? Well, that's the way .a want
ye to sell our• goods on the road."
The pilot had taken great pains to
explain all about his airplane to the
pretty ya'ung visitor at the airport --
;its mechanical features, purpose of
this and that, what pilots did to meet
actual conditions, etc. He looked at
the girl and smiled. ' "Now, you un-
derstand, don't you?"
"Ali but one thing," replied the
girl
"And what is that?" he asked. •
"What makes the•- thing stay up?'
