The Minister of Agriculture, Hon. J. J. Greene, in a recent address, set the matter in proper prospective when he discussed events of past weeks in the House in these words : ". . . but it WAS not a spectacle that developed suddenly. It has been con- structed over 'a period of several years, out of a• willingness by some members to put ruinous scandal-mongerio.g ahead of responsible debate, day in and day out, session after session. "Legitimate criticisms o •the-g-overn- ment have too often been seized upon by ambitious opportunists :and exag- gerated with such extravagance that factswere swallowed. in clouds of innuendo and the truth hopelessly mingled with misrepresentation and even falsehood. "It, is certainly a fundamental re- sponsibility of every " Opposition to criticize the actions of Government. But criticism becomes dangerously de- structive when it goes far beyond all available facts and I believe this has happened too often during the last few years, and that this has been an im- portant factor in bringing the House of Commons to the state it was earlier • this week: "In all of what has happened in the Commons over the last few years, there seems to be a sad irony in the fact that not until sex reared its titillating head in the background were senses of honor so outraged that no Member could any longer afford to indulge him- self in irresponsibility. "Not many months ago, when the government was accused of being in league with the underworld, few there were who raised their voices in pro- test. I wonder how seriously any Cab- inet Minister would have . been taken had he "then protested that this blanket accusation make him ashamed to face his family when he went home at nights. Few were the voices raised in the land, that this still unsubstantiated accusation should ever have been lev- elled at a Government by any Opposi- tion. member," Mr. Greene concluded by reminding his audience that public .service is the real purpose of politics. And politics, he suggested, should be regarded in the same manner as did a former Governor- General, Lord Tweedsmuir, when he wrote : "Public life is regarded.. as the crown of a career and to young men it is the worthiest ambition. Politics is still the greatest and the most hon- orable adventure." • CALM AND COLLECTED • (Vancouver Sun) "Did the captain remain -calm and collected when the ship blew up?" "He kept very calm, yes, but he is - still being collected." In the Years- Agone ,.

The sum of $106.20 was re- alized ealized for the Huron County War Services fund as a result of a draw held by the commit- --tee. The, prizes. included a Registered Yorkshire sow do- nated. by W. L. Whyte and five gallons of maple syrup, donat- ed by Gordon..McGavin and E. P. Chesney. The sow was won by William Patrick, Staffs, and the maple syrup went to Ken MacLean, of Egmondville. • A successful euchre and dance, sponsored by the Sea - forth Junior Women's ,Institute, in aid of the Red Cross, was held in the A inouries with 30 tables in play. The prizes were War Savings Stamps. Music for dancing was provided by a local orchestra composed by Mrs. C. Theobald, Mrs. Scott, Harry Chesney, Harry Stewart and Mr. Levine.

He is a deserv- ing young man and we hope he will succeed . well in his new office. The enterprising townsman, Mr. Alex. Mustard, of Bruce - field, has his popular sawmill going full force again; which is likely to eontinue for some time. The citizens of town .were aroused by the sounding of the fire alarm whistle and in a short time the firemen and a large number of citizens were -.on, the streets. It seems that some evil disposed persons had made a bald attempt to burn the mar- ket building. Someone had re- moved the oil frotn a lamp in the .store room and spread the oil on the floor and set it on fire. Mr. George E.

You have begun to build up -with no really good reason, except that you haven't been fired - the idea that you're an excellent, if not outstanding teacher. Then you start to read what your students have "learned" from yqu in the past six months. Nothing. Zero. You have mere- ly compounded their ignorance. You have only - confused ' the simple teen - age philosophies they have acquired from tele- vision, hootenanies, Mad maga- zine and the poolroom. ° Some young and tender teach- ers, faced with this shattering moment, have been known to turn green, rush to .the school board, offer their resignations, and even, in drastic cases, at- tempt to pay back the salaries they.. have accepted since Sep- tember. • For the older,. tougher teach- er, it is not quite such a trau- matic experience. • Oh, they may swear a bit, tear their. hair a bit; and . froth slightly at the mouth. But they do .not offer to return their salaries. The last known case of this, among old- er teachers, .was in 1714. The more experienced teach- ers accept this disillusionment as they do the changing of the seasons. They ' know that by " We're'all set in the pickled pigs feet, radish, smoked salmon, and hot mustard departments!"

And it must he admitted that marking exams is not unmitigat- ed misery. It has, its moments. On several occasions, respond- ing to 'peals_ of .maniacal laugh- ter from my study, my wife has dashed up the stairs, ready to call the boys in the white coats. There's the student who tries the shot -gun approach. Scatter your gems as widely as possible,, and you're bound to hit some- thing right. One such, in a re- cent history exam, identified John D. Rockefeller thus: "He was a Prime Minister of Eng- land and very important in the labor movement." The rumble heard at the time was John.. D. trying to argue " his way back to this_ world so he could stran- gle the kid. Sometimes it's not funny. On a recent exam, junior students were asked topick the right verb from 'this sentence: "They have (drunk, drank) all the wa- ter." A little blonde girl with troubled 'eyes . chose • "drank" be- cause, as she pointed out, "Drunk is not a verb. It's a -noun." She had good reason for her answer.,. Her father is one. • And then, ef course, amid the welter of confusion comes the sudden stab ,of pure, refreshing delight, the discovery of an original, perceptive mind, try- ing to make sense out of all this nonsense. It's like finding a ,solid piece of ground in a swamp, a cool spring in the desert. That's the moment when ,the poor old teacher is hooked once again by that most irritating of nuisances, faith in the future of the human race.
