THE CLINTON NEW ERA.

Every weekend throughout the summer
months fparticillarly then because of the heavy
traffic on highways, and the delight taken by
thousand.s in the cooling waters of Canada's
streams and lakes) the statistics of dead and
injured are counted up and the totals announced
in Monday's newspaper,
One acquaintance remarked that the TV
news was turning into statistics: sports news
merely listed scores; weather reports spoke of
WHOSE IS
We cannot altogether go• along with the
recent- commands and entreaties by those who
are supposed to guide the country's best in-
terests, when they say it is. time for the people
to spend more—and spend it now.
Certainly it looks as though more money
in circulation would 'be a healthy thing. for
Canada's economy. We don't, however, believe
that this request to spend should be aimed, as
it so obviously, toward the little man.
The little fellow, with his regimented
temperatures, !barometric pressures, rainfall in
inches; and the news reports gave tot* of
the dead and dying.
By using ordinary common sense YOU
can lessen the chances of having yourself or
your family swell these latter totals. Fellow the
ordinary safety rules of driving. Learn the rules
of water safety. Make sure your family knows
and recognizes the importance of them.
Then, you and your loved ones can re-
main alive, and uncounted!
THE DUTY?
income, has in alit probability stretched: himself
to the limit already With time payments of one
kind or another. To ask that he spend more,
is merely to request something Which will force
a demand for higher wages.
It has been said: "It has never been the
duty of the public to buy a product. It is the
duty of the manufacturer to put on the market
a desirable product, which the consumer will
want to:. buy".

Well, Daddy-O, are you all set
for Father's Day? Will your big,
old, soft heart be- just overflow-
ing, your big, old, bloodshot eyes
just all filled up, when the great
day arrives? * * *
It it is, and they are, you're as
big a sucker as I 'think, and: Dad-
dy-0 I think you're the biggest
sucker history has seen since the
invention of the wheel, • *
Speaking of wheels—father us-
ed to be the big wheel in the fam-
ily. But in 'the past couple of gen-
erations, he's merely had his shou-
lder to it. Not to mention his
nose to the grindstone. * *
The degeneration of the father's
role in our family life, in the past
fifty years,,,is appalling. Father
has sunk' from "HEAD of the
HOUSE" to "figure of 'fun". • *
He has sunk from a 'seven-foot
adjutant to the Lord _Almighty
'down to a five-foot Mother's Hel-
per, in the eyes of his children.
Ever since he stopped knocking
Mother about the cave with the
jaw-bone of a saber-tooth tiger,
he has been losing ground steadily. * * *
"It's a man's world", whines
scene fluffy, little, steely-eyed
woman. Saying which, she pro-
ceeds to go out and reduce to a
quivering foil for her whim of
iron the first figure of a man
she can get her silken-covered
hooks into. *
All I have' ,to' do is think back
to my own father, if I want a
wave of ineffable sadness to creep
over me. Even then, the rot was
creeping in, the jackals were
gnawing at the hamstrings of the
Father, but I was too young to re-
alize it,
* *
My Dad was a quiet man, a good
man, and' a wise one. He knew
when he was up against superior
armament, and in most cases he
Withdrew in good order, when he
was outgunned. But 'once in a
while, with the flash of the fire of
his male forbears, he would
stand and fight, with all the glory
of an old buck turning on the tor-
Mending hounds,
* * *
For example, he'd hit his thumb
With a hammer. "Holy jumpin'
The Bible Today
Although production of Script-
ures by the British and Foreign
Bible Sudety hat tripled in 'the
past ten years, there are still hum-
dredt of thousands of dollars wor-
th Of orders that. cannot be Mil-
led due to laek .of ! fOndt, reports
the Rev, K. 0. McMillan,, general I
Secretary for Canada, Since 70
percent of its Scriptures are solid
at lets' than cost, the increasing
&Mend calls for a larger subsid-
iary.
Mr. McMillan emphasizes that
while the British and Foreign Bib-
le ,Society has been at work for
154 years, the effort ;to provide
Scriptures fOr the: world ib. really
in its. infancy. In Imb'a, for ex-
arripile,_ the rate of literacy is ex-
pected to increase front its pres-
ent 17 percent to 50 percent, and
the population, of nearly 400 mil-
lion is growing by five million
year.
This situation, as applied.
other countries as well, presents
the, greatest challenge of all time
to the Bible .SoeietieS.
BLAST ! I",he would roar like
a wounded lion. My mother would-
turn pale and get to her 'ironing.
We kids would cringe under tab-
les, behind 'chairs, hearts thump-
ing with fear and excitement. * *
What happens' nowadays? I hit
my thumb with a hammer, "Hell's
holy old Malkin' bells!", I mur-
mur, sotto voce, dancing around
:on one foot, clutching the thumb.
"I'm gonna tell Mom. you swore,
Dad", pipes Hugh, from the next
room. "You won't go to Heaven,
Daddy, if you talk like that," cries
Kim from under the table. "That's
certainly wonderful language to
be using in front of the children,"
callt Her Nibs, from upstairs. * * *
My Dad dichint have to resort to
violence, or even anger, to keep
us kids in line. If we got lippy
at the dinner table, he'd just lay
down his knife and fork and give
us' one piercing look. That was
enough, and deadly silence reign-
ed.
* *
I tried that the other day. I
was :attempting to tell the Sup-
reme 'Commander that I wouldn't
be able to do !the dishes that
night. The klds were carrying on
a crossfire of 'gab and 'giggles. I
laid !down my fork and knife and
gave them a piercing look. It. had
all the . effect a piercing look
would' have on Niagara Falls. * *
When my father told us some-
thing, we accepted it. It he said
'black and green cows gave white
milk, that was good enough for
Us. If I make 'a statement it calls
for a panel discussion, invariably
commencing: 'Yabbut, listen, Dad,
how come . . etc. ?"
* *
I realize fathers have brought lit
on :themselves, with their spineless
submission all the way down the
line. But the ridiculous pretence,
once a year, that father is loved,-
honoured end obeyed It merely
rubbing salt in the wounds. *-
So when it comes to Father's
Day, include me out. Unless, that
is, there's as new set of golf
clubs, or something worthwhile in
it.
