Vandalism

seem always to be a few youths in

The Sydney wriarient,

"Children who fet . pleasure in

their determination to end the piti-
ful vandalism that has scored forty-
one broken window panes and de-
etroyed new window sashes in the
town's Central School and causf.d
similar destruction at Chalrners
Church Hall.
"The town can lil afford the e›,..
pease of the repairs and it 'also .can't
afford to have youth embarked on
criminal careers. A juvenile delin-
quent is a source of shame to his par-
ents and ultimately to himself."

'Thre was no evidence that peo-

sumed, or less likely to day dream,"
Dr. Seat mid.
Dr. Smith said she believes that
"monotony in industrial jobs is over-
rated. Monotony is not as import-
ant a problem as it has been repres-
ented to be. The tasks aren't as
monotonous as a visitor to a factory
thinks."
"Almost any task or job has some
amount of repetition to it. The var-
iety in many kinds of jobs, as a sur-
geon's for example, is also over -rat-
ed. We confuse glamor with var-
iety.
"Just repetition on a job is not a
necessary a.nd sufficient condition.for
feeling If1011OtOrly. it isn't the jobs
that are repetitive, it is the way pvo-
pie see those jobs. Nobody dies ex-
actly the same thing in exactly the
Sitifile way each time. If they see
this difference, they don't see the job
as repetitive."

Oreak With Tradition
From time to time we learn of de -
.02,101116 to break with tradition. Siime-
times the changes are for the good
—7 -often they are only desire for
;30mething new without regard to
whether the new way is better than
the old.
But a tribe in South Africa shows
common sense, we tilink, when it
proposes to break with tradition.
A.ccording to a news despatch natives
of the J3alubedo tribe who live in the
Vifalowedi hills of the Transvaal,
South Africa, believe that the pow-
ers a Queen Mujaji 111, their 80 -
year -old chief, are waning. Never-
theless this autocratic "rain queen,"
who has ruled for 5; years, is de-
termined not to commit suicide, re-
gardless of tradition.
Since time immemorial, the Balo-
bedu queen has been responsible for
insurnig an adequate supply of rain
for the tribal crops. According to
native custom, practised for genera-
tions by her ancestors, Ailujaji, who
has reached an age when normally
ber "powers" might be thought to be
dwindling, is expected to take her
own life and make way for her
daughter, Makorna.
Although the old queen has had a
poor 80400n or rain -making and has
ruled longer than any of her prede-
essors, She has made it clear she
has no intention of making an un-
timely exitin the interests of ritual

If One Lon Highway
(Ontario Bulletin)
If Ontario's highways were made
into one long belt, that belt would
encircle the globe almost three bales.
The latest mileage figures releas-
ed by the Department of Highways
show that there are 73,779 miles of
/*OaCES throughout the province. Of
this total, 7,800 miles are King's
Highways, with 1,274 miles concrete
surface, 3,401 bituminous pavement,
744 bituminous surface, and 2,379
gravel and crushed stone.
Secondary roads cover 2,726 miles;
county roads, 9,278 miles, organized
township roads, 48,974 miles and de-
velopment roads, 4,999 miles.

Saving the Wounded
(Kitchener -Waterloo Record)
Allied soldiers wounded in Korea
stand twice as good a chance of sur-
viving as those who were wounded
during World War 11.
The credit for this vast improve-
ment goes to three main facturs.
First has been the development of
life-saving drugs, which have work-
ed wonders in reducing shock and
infection. Side by side with this has
been the -contribution of blood and
blood plasma by the Red Cross.
Finally- has come the speed with„
which the wounded have been evacu-
ated to front-line aid stations and
then to hospitals. Trained medical
corpsmen, using helicopters and
jeeps, have performed valuable ser-
vice here, often at the greatest risk
to themselves.

Storms Bring Losses But Gain is

(Fergus News -Record)
The Farmer's Advocate, London,
takes up a subject about which many
city and town people must have won-
dered, and that farm journal offers
an explanation which is not only com-
forting but likely accurate.
"Rainstorms—Good or Bad?"
Front page newspaper stories
about the millions of dollars loss be-
cause of too much rain should be tak-
en with a grain of salt. True, a vio-
lent rainstorm will injure certain
crops and to the individual cause a
definite loss, However, by and large,
the moisture endowed upon the
earth by a storm in July or August
stimulates all growth to such an ex-
tent tlutt the loss is in no way com-
parable to the benefits conferred.

rise to a disaster story in the news-
