SPRING IN ONTARIO
"The 'stertny' March will :come at last .

Soon Will .come the reminder that :Spring
is On the way, and we'll hear the call of the
crew as he wings his way across the sky. Then
after a few, more tomorrows the robins will be
here either' to stay, • or reade to go farther
north for the longsununer.
What -a sight it es to eeenethe big V forma-

this saying, by voting against the. sale of their : •
municipally owned telephone company. -
'One by one the smaller telephone companies
have been fading away, bowing to progress and'
the difficulties of coping with increased elapense
and problems which result with new inventions. •
More acid more people.. who Worked hard to

JUst toff remind -us Of the «omieg of Spring,
one of .Der readers, who is also an avid, gardener
and ogteloorsrean, brought us a spray of flower-
ing quince (or japonica) which lead been .forced
intq,bloem by being brought indoors some four
weeks' ago. The delicate piths flowers blooming
in the office now, are pleasant testimony that
after the,•mud, Slush and snow of March, Spring
will • come to this part . •of .Ontario, in all its
beauty.
As the grower of this ''particular bit 'of
japonica reminded tis:
"God moves in a mysterious way
wonders to perform."

was ready or able to do so, are finding it easier
•to give up now and let a private firm take .over

But In the McKillop system, the people are
ready to keep trying for a -time at least. In.
answer to increased costs, they have ak'd a rise
in. rates of apprgxixnately $5 per year which
'Will bring in a little over $2,00Q to the treasury.
It is to be,hoped that this group of people
can manage their own affairs for some time to
come, and that through judicious management

munism has at last been unveilied. Rock 'n' rol-
ler Elvis Presley has publicly acknowledged his
willingness to sing in Russia, and has had pic•
lure taken in 'a Russian astrakan hat,,.
Elvis' desire to .conquer Red Russia• anger-
, ently stems from. the fact he is a smash hit be-
hind the Iron' Curtain, his records stilling for
$25 each, and young girls fighting for his pic-
,i:ure.
We can think of no better way of demoral-
izing; Russia—or any other Country—than by
exposing •them to E1vis.Presley. If he ever gets
into Russia the United States will have driven
an ideological' breach in the Red system .a mile.

Russians, rock'n'rolling in their shirt-tails,,
and High hoots, would be lost to stuffy lectures
on' Collective farming and pep talks\on the evils

out ehe danger of indulgence, i- Ie
quotes the head of the advertising
