Phillips, Mrs. Charles Johnston, Mrs. Tay- lor ayfor and Mrs. K. MacDonald, Let's Keep This Weather Coming Our migrating friends in the south are always interested to learn of weather conditions "back home," and when they are a:. they have been for the past few days, we are only too glad to tell them, Yes, you all, it's been great back home, The sun's been shining, and the thermometer has been ranging around the 40 de. ;gree marls --which to the 70 and 80 shooters Wright seem mighty cold, is like heaven to the folks hack hone. We aren't bragging too much about last. Wednesday and '1'hurs• clay, though, Temperatures were high enough, but a continuous downpour combined with melting snow lefta great deal to be cle• sired, Many basements were flooded, particularly those of Millar Richmond and Roy Mc, Vittlo, Apparently it was a case of just too much water for the village drains and at one point Millar was fighting five feet of water in his cellar. For a time the drain was plugged and mounting water pressure caused co►lsidera• able damage to the walls and foundation of the new home. The water never reached the five foot mark in the McVittie basement but it was high enough to cause a great deal of damage to the newly constructed recrea• tion room and bedroom. So you see — you all -- it hasn't been whatyou would call a bed of roses, Yes, we've had our fair share of snow, More than our fair share of rain, And now we're looking for our fair share of warm, spring-like weath. er.

Intermediates Edge Ahead In Battle For Playoff Spot Blyth Merchants bounced back last Firday night to defeat a de- termined Zurich,inlermediate team 13111 Riehl, teasurer of the Lions Club Artificial Ice Campaign, was the bussiest man in town over the weekend when he prepared and sent out all of the official receipts to those who donated to the Arti- ficial lee Fund, At least he is fairly sure all have been mailed. 13111 told the Standard to ask anyone who has donated and who has as yet not received an official receipt to please notify him as soon as possible. Also if you notice an error your im• mediate attention to the matter is requested. 'i'he Lions have now received and totalled all expenses in con- nection with Installing the ice plant and the new cement floor and the total, $40,438.81 is some• what more than was anticipated when the project was first start- ed. By means of canvassings and moneyraising projects the Lions have raised all but six thousand dollars of the suns — no mean fete to ,say the least. They are now wracking their collective brain to come up with a method, or methods of raising the needed money and we ask you to keep an eye out for future projects and give them your wholehearted support. Anyone who has not yet donat- ed and feel they would like to do their part on behalf of the community may leave donations with Bill at the post office or here at the Standard office. Or perhaps you have already donat- ed and now feel circumstances will allow you to offer a further contribution, please feel free to do so at any given moment. No money, large or small, will be refused. Six thousand dollars seems like a great deal of money for the club to raise, but if we all get together and shoulder the load, the financial success of the ice project will be a great deal eas• ser to attain.

The problem arises with home and home referees at W.O.A.A.. hockey games — a situation to say the least, is anything but satisfactory. Local fans, who have never won accolades for their meek and mild performances, are putting up the hue and cry all year about innbfficient refereeing. In many cases this cases expect the other referee to reciprocate in a like manner, Doug Scrimgeour has been the main core of the local refereeing staff this year, and in our opin• ion has done an outstanding job under %Yr:7 difficult circumstanc- es. Doug believes in calling a fair and square game and in letting the other referee conduct his affairs in the manner in which he thinks is fair — and in some eases, we can imagine, proves every bit as frustrating for him as it does for local fans. Many times the holler has been hot and heavy to "call them on the other teatn," , So far Doug has .been able to stand above the pressure, For this we admire him -- and can be blamed on over exuberant fully believe. that each* and every fans; and also in several eases one of the local fans do like. the beef has been legitimate, and wise, this is where the problem arises.

DREAMERS \Ve had quite a discussion in elan the other day about dreams, School kids have a natural reluctance to revealing their inner selves, especially to teachers and parents, but after we got trarmed up, 1 was wishing I'd had a tape recorder. It was fascinating. It removed barriers. The whole thing was sparked by a short passage of poet Dylan Thomas's recollections of childhood, in which life is as jum bled and unreal as a dream, it ends, "The memories of childhood have no order, and no end." Thomas dreamed, later in life, that he could fly, as a child. I've had this dream many times, and 1 waken from it feeling won- derful, but then a terrible sadness comes over me as 1 realize it was just a dream, Some of the kids have had the sante dream. It takes different forms- Some flap their arms until they gain altitude, then just sort of glide. Mint' is always the sante. 1 take a long, running broad - jump, and by sheer will power. keep my feet from touching down again. I never get more than 10 inches oft' the ground, but lin flying, swiftly and easily and surely, swooping around obstacles and absolutely free of the surly earth. One lxiy admitted to a recurrent dream in which he is at bat in the World Series, bases loaded, a home -run needed to win the game. Seventy thousand people are screaming, "Come on. Dan! You can do it," Then costes the sick realization that the mob is his molter. shaking him and saying. "Conic on. Dan' Come on. Dan' Time to get up for school." Same chap t'onfessed to a dreamt that would fascinate Si<ggy Freud. He was buying a new pair of pants. Tried them on, took them off for the tailoring, cane out and found his old pants gone. He walked all the way home with no pants. and wasn't the least bit embarrassed. A girl eonfessed that she often dreams that she is the eentre of things, a big Broadway star just about to launch into the greatest musical in history, with every eye on her. She is the girl least likely to be a great star• though a delightful person who will anak, an excellent num, a grand wife and mother. Another girl has nightmares about big dogs who art' always going to eat her. Still another dreams of cowboys and Indians. ants she's always the eowboy. and by golly. she looks like a cowboy She's hang -legged and laconic, a Grade 12 Gary Cooper who need: only a hand -rolled Bull Durham smoke to eomplete the image. Another txy dreams that he has had a swori run throng: him, but doesn't feel a thing. From thea' we get into the business of whether or not you can feel and smell and hear in breams. whether they're in chlor, Then we get into the theory that if yet' actually hit bottotu at the end of that fall: or that the auonstt .'atches up with you. you'll die bet'ause your heart will stop.

The Bible can well be described as the miracle book. Nearly 2000 years were needed to complete it. At least 30 authors took part in writing it, most. of them living generations apart from one another. It employs every literary forst — biography, history, letters, law, poetry, philosophy, and oratory. Yet the book is one — an amazing unity. It has been preserved through almost every form of persecution, It has withstood the assaults of the so called "higher critics" and in spite of every effort to undermine and diminish its authority, it lives. It is indeed "the impregnable rock of holy Scripture." It is the infallihle. inerrant word of the living God. Someone has wisely said, "The Bilbe contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy; its precepts are binding: its histories are true and its decisions are immutable. Christ is its grand subject, our good its design, and the glory of Cod its end. It is a mine of wealth, a river of pleasure and a paradise of glory. It is given in life, will be opened at the judgment and it will be remembered for ever. Its study involves the highest responsibilities, rewards the greatest labour and condemns all who trifle with its holy contents," E, C.
