RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS (Some one tells us that a holiday was originally a holy day. In this there is a fine- suggestion that the only adequate reason for one's stopping his useful toil is his taking time to thank and hon­ or the Giver of all good things. Well, it seems that Britain, particularly ..England, is coming to see the true significance of ‘her holidays. This year Easter season throughout meant the crowding of the churches for public worship in commemoration of the Crucifixion. We note that no nation in the world enjoys fun quite as much as the English. The other fact is that England has balanced her national budget. For this great country religion, sound financing and clean sport make up a life that leaves little to be desired. **** **** PREPARE NOW Some municipalities are preparing now for the winter of 1932- 1933, The heads of these municipalities fear that the approaching winter will be quite as hard as the winter just passing. The very fact that we read of men being laid off work now, at the very period when we ordinarily 16ok for increased activity, tells its own story and gives a hint of what may be looked for, Further, muni­ cipalities see that we are likely to come to January 1933 with muni­ cipal and other revenues considerably depleted in comparison with those of January 193-2, Those who have received relief should face this fact early in the season and do their sturdy utmost to prepare This is the time for plain speech on ZURICH Mr. and.

The case has not been tried yet and we are not in a position to say anything about the- guilt or the in­ nocence of the alleged offenders. At any rate, there is some talk, talk for which no shade of oc­ casion should have been given. Students are proverbially fond of capers and pranks and larks. ■ But the conduct ascribed to these students is none of these. It has not a feature to recommend it or to extenuate it. It is earnestly to be hoped that the students accused be given the fullest opportunity to clear themselves in open court, At the same time (Ontario may well blush if het folk in authority do not investigate the whole situation and deal with all the parties there­ to with the impartiality that is the honor of the British courts. The University of Toronto has a plain duty in the situtatlon. Half­ way measures now invite moral deterioration. The students men­ tioned either are guilty or not guilty1. An interested moral-loving and taxpaying public wants to know the facts. DECLINES TO BURY RATCHET WHEN COURT SUGGESTS HE SHAKE HANDS (Stratford Beacon-Herald April Al) Bert Rundle of Woodham his calling. He should have prke fighter. “I really didn’t hit him, put up my fist," said Rundle who ap* peared before Magistrate Makins re­ cently charged with assaulting his brother-in-law, Roy Kirk, by striking him in the eye with his fist. The trouble took place last Monday and Kirk, who is a school trustee at Woo dham, .displayed a *’shiner” in Police court on Saturday. Magistrate Makins found Rundle guilty and fined him $10 and “I want you two fellows to hands and forget this kind feud,” said the Magistrate. Rundle was willing and looked to­ ward Trustee Kirk, “No, I can get along all right without him,” said the latter. “Don’t forget that you have an­ other election coming on at the end of the year,” said John Murray, act­ ing Crown Attorney, “I won't he running,” said Trustee Kirk, There was a ripple of laughter throughout the court room and High Constable R. J, Beatty -was forced to call order. Here’s the story of the cause of the whole affair which had its "cli­ max with .Rundle packing a neat right to Trustee Kirk’s eye, in front of the general store in Woodham last Monday morning. Trustee Kirk took the -stand and said that Rundle’s boy had been sent home from school by the teacher and the accused had come to him to get things straightened out. The boy would not take«a licking at school said the witness. He told of meet­ ing Rundle in the store and then going outside, He told Rundle that he would not interfere and the boy should >be given a licking by either the father or the teacher. Witness said that a conversation took place between the two before the blow was • struck. G. G. McPherson, K.C., acted for the accused. In cross examination Trustee Kirk declared he had not made any sign of fight before he re­ ceived that black eye. “You were just like a little lamb, weren’t you?” asked Mr. McPherson. Witness did not reply. The other witness for the plaintiff was William Wynn, who told of see­ ing the fight. He parted them. Rundle said his boy was sent home for 'just smiling in the class room. He wouldn’t take a licking and so the accused said he thought he would go and see his brother-in-law and ‘“get it charged that very impolite was struck. “I really didn’t hit him. I just put up my fist,’ said the witness. He admitted however that he had caus­ ed the black eye. “You were like Napoleon. The best -defence is attack?” said Acting Crown Attorney John Murray.
