Friday, Sept. 7, 1956 'Capable Officer There will be general regret as a wenn of ' the announcement this that Constable Gordon Ferris, officer in charge of the O.P.P. detach- ment here, was leaving town. He has been posted to a position of in- .reased, responsibility in the Bruce Peninsula. During the more than five years ite has been •in Seaforth, Constable .?erris has indicated an innate 'understanding of all that is involy- edin his position. Conscientious and sincere, he refused to permit per- sonal considerations to interfere with the proper carrying out of his ,diltie's. .At the same time, he applied .com- m n sense to the day-to-day prob- lems which arose. He didn't jeopard- the long term responsibility -of maintaining law and order by pet- ty harping or personal prejudice. Schools of Today At this particular season of the year when schools across the country opening their doors to another crop of students, it is not amiss to examine the attitude of those who approach the halls of Iearning. In the eyes of the Printed Word, the picture of the schoolboy "creep- ing like snail unwillingly t� school" is. no longer accurate. Instead, one may observe on. weekday mornings in any residential district packs of Youngsters, frolicsome as puppies, making their way to their studies with far more alacrity than is shown by their elders''in proceeding towards their .shops or offices., It is unlikely that modern children are less resistant to the processes of formal education than their parents were. In fact, if one judges by. the :average product of Canadian public and high schools,- they may seem to be IP9re " etleceSaUl in avoiding an overload Of 434913 tial aubbeets , Vaingrammar" . and. • arltbrae,tic. On the other hand, the average schoolboy eq boy hasxpiore mechanical apti- tude than his father and is likely to have a better physique. If lie has any musical talent,it is more _likely to be developed in a modern school than it would have been in the schools of twenty or thirty years ago. Choirs, bands, orchestras are, now:. consider- ed necessary 'adjuncts to the ordin- ary curriculum. Old-fashioned parents (and what parent is not old-fashioned, in the eyes of his children?) may deplore and viewwith alarm the modern trends in education, the Printed Word goes on to suggest. Too much emphasis, they may think, is being placed on 'amusements and purely cultural activities, to the detriment of a thorough grounding in the three R's. School training seems to be edu cation for leisure rather than for earning a living. Still, the facilities for basic education on the old model do exist, however they may be con- cealed under modern dress. Making schools social centres instead of homes of boredom has at least . en- couraged _ the inmates td lose their\ fear of instruction. And who can say that education for leisure is not more important than spelling, gram- v mar and arithmetic? Somewhat facetious, the writer of the Printed Word piece goes on to comment that with the continuing trend towards' constantly decreasing hours of work, hours of leisure may be the most im- portant part of life by the time the schoolchildren of today start to look for jobs to support them in the style of living to which they have become accustomed. To Hitchhikers (Goderich Signal -Star) Note to hitchhikers: It is an of- fence punishable by a fine of up to $10 to "solicit a ride from the driver of -a motor vehicle other than a pub- lic passenger conveyance." If you do not believe it, see Section 47 of the Highway Traffic Act. The same Act, incidentally, states that "every per- son who throws or deposits or caus- es to be deposited any glass; nails, tacks orscraps of metal, or any rub- bish, refuse, waste or litter upon, along, or adjacent to a highway, ex- cept in receptable provided for the purpose," is subject to the same pen- alty. `HERE in SEAFORTH 12 SEPTEMBER NW if i 2 Noon to 7 p.m. TOWN HALL A special R.C.A.F, Career Counsel- lor will be here to give you complete information on.

These "representatives," hfeach case, informed the farmer's wife she had been the lucky winner .of a prize in a ticket ,draw. Prize was $30 -but this was to be de- ducted from the price of a cera tain new household appliance which the "representatives" had with them and which they would be pleased to sell to the lucky far- mer's wife. When the neighbor hood phone wires started to buzz later and notes were compared, it was discovered that quite a flock of women had also been informed they were "lucky winners." by`the same gentlemen. Fortunately,, no women in the community were found gullible enough to fou for it-Goderich ,Signal -Star.

About 4:00 p.m. a light shower - of rain fell and with it ashes and dust, so that everything was covered with a strong lye. The little rain that was caught was quite unfit for use, while fences and buildings all look in a bad state. The next morning the fish in the rivers were dead by the thousands. The water is very low at present and all. the pools are filled with dead fish. Mr. A. G. Van Egmond, wollen manufact}irer of this town, has been very successful with his goods at the Industrial Exhibition "•^•now being held in Toronto. He was awarded three medals.

It was getting dangerously near Jouin- lock's salt .works, but was soon drowned out by a stream from the market hydrant. The extensive premises' of Mr. Andrew Govenlock, of Winthrop, had a narrow escape from destruc- tion by fire on Tuesday. The woods at the rear of Winthrop were all on fire and it was with difficulty the sparks were kept from igniting the barns and other buildings.
