Most of us have so many things to do, and. a great many inure things that we are planning to do when we have the time and opportunity. Our very activity keeps its so busy that we tend to overlook the fact that there are a great many people who are shut out from the normal type of life by .being shut in. To remind us of these folk, and to urge us to something for them, the first Sunday iii June is set aside annually as Shut-in's Day. Who are the Shut-insi There is little need to ask, for every community has them, folk who are shut 'in through age, disability and various types of illness. Not only are they confined to the house, hospitals or other institutions, but many cannot leave their beds. They all are compelled to lead a restricted life, and sonic of them readily admit that only the kindness of friends and the consideration of visitors enable them to remain normal in their thinking and attitude to life. On the other hand there are sonic who have won such a spiritual victory over their ailing bodies that they are a source of inspiration to all who visit them. The mother of one of Britain's statesmen spent nearly half a century in bed, and to her bedside came the elite of the •land to be inspired by her courage, optimism and unselfish- ness. Plan to make Sunday, June 3rd. the day in which you show at least two shut-ins—a civilian and a disabled veter- an—that you care. It could be through flowers, a gift or a letter; or a personal visit in which you leave behind some little token of your thoughtfulness. But above all, don't forget them until Shut-in's Day conies again next year to remind you once more. In His name who said "I was sick and ye visited me," let us -unite in making June 3rd. a rare, unforgettable day for the Shut-in and for ourselves. The above words are not our own they are but copied from the pamphlet published by the International Shut- in's Association and they may well be penned by the general secretary of the organization, Ernest Barker, of Goderich. The Shut-in's Association, which has grown from an idea in the busy brain of the Goderich man into a society with connections in many lands, supported by leaders of church and state, is now universally recognized and respected. •boy. your -editor used to go fishing with. Ernie Barker; we watched him pore over his stamp collection and busy himself with a dozen other hobbies. For many years now he has been confined to his bed with a serious heart condition, The inspiration which is mentioned in the paragraphs above could well be found at his bedside, for his mental energy and faith in the elemental goodness of mankind has been the founding spirit and spark of life for the organization he has fostered to cheer the path of his fellow-sufferers. --RESUMING THE GREAT 'DEBATE IN KOREA 6:v1,11 /417,1ra {10.10101 01XIMMIA 11113111.71:.1.., -...21011410.1.1.67111011140.111.1. 40, 1' Flowers • House Plants Treat Gladioli Bulbs with (CORROS.

Varmers should be happy about the combination of rains and warm growing weather since the seed went in and even the towns- folk have enjoyed more than the usual average of warm days for outdoor activity. Actually it does a person good to drive slowly through the countryside these days and absorb the visible evidence of the rich land in which we live. We are, on the whole, so • well fed in Ontario that such thoughts rarely cross our They Tell Me It's True By Bob Clark There's a man in Bologna, Italy— Leonarda Lenzi — who may get the chance he wants, to come to this Country. The 25 year old Italian has answered an Ad. in "The Vancouver Sun", requesting a salesman for a wax-polish firm. And the man who inserted it got Lenzi's application last week. The man found the'reply so intriguing, he says he's contacting Lenzie in the hope of bringing him to Canada. The Italian — writing in the only English he knows— said he wanted to come to Canada "Very Hotly". Most people use deep freezers . to store foods. Albert Wolfe of Mem- phis, Tenn,, does too, But he also stores other things — such as Hail- stones. Wolfe says he has Hailstones as big as hen's eggs packed away as souv- enirs, They fell on Memphis on Mar. 26th, 1944, We've apparently been wrong all these years, saying certain people are as • stubborn as mules. Seems the mule isn't stubborn at all. That's the word from William J, Loeffel, Professor of Animal Husban- dry at the University of Nebraska. Loeffel says the mule is just smart —intelligent enough "Not to let him- self get maneouvered into a danger ous position. The wheels of justice in Guelph, Ontario, may easily be known as the "Clark Cycle". It's possible to be arrested, be tried and be imprisoned by men with the name of Clark. Constable Joseph Clark is a mem- ber of the Police Force, Stewart Clark is a Judge and John Clark is a Jail Governor. (No relation). BOX 473 CONCERNING POSTERITY In. an impassioned speech delivered in the British House of Commons, some t fifty or so years ago, a Tory member asked the question "Why should we concern ourselves about posterity: What has posterity done for us?" I will try to answer the question. Posterity, of course is not yet exist- ant. It's front ranks however emerg- ing from their brief temporary con- finement are leisurely approaching our door steps and very soon their inevitable objective, which they had no choice in determining, will be con- surnated. They will have become con- temporaries, Their first appeal to us will be a cry. They are absolutely helpless. That cry immediately and spontaneously pierces the mother's heart and she offers her breast to as- suage it, By and by the father's heart is touched. He goes almost crazy won- dering what ministration's he can de- vise of a helpful nature to silence that cry that sounds so doleful, so pitiable in his ears and that utterly drowns all other noises,. This little helpless mite; so new, so sweet with its irresistable appeal for succour 18 perhaps the first thing in the parents' lives that makes the truth of the statement, that no one can live for himself Or herself alone apparent, Live and help live becomes their motto, Help live, even though it cost your own Iffe to do so. We can all help live. Help live the already alive, help live those soon to be, There is he higher virtue than help- fulness. Posterity is a helpmate in the stimulation Of helpfulness, That is what it has done for us in the past, That is what it is doing for Us today, whether we appreciate it Or not, Jas, Webster. Farmers in Western Canada, have learned that the storm clouds of last Fall had silver linings after all, Frost and damp weather cost them millions of dollars in crop losses, But now, the farmers are beginning to notice a welcome absence of huge hordes of grasshoppers, The bad weather killed them off too. —o— The Wyoming Highway Depart- ment has made a startling discovery in how to keep cattle off the road, The animals have grown too accust- omed to cattle guards, And it would cost more than five million dollars to fence off the open range from the Wyoming Highways. So the Department experimented and finally found that the cattle bal- ked at this — lines of yellow paint drawn to look somewhat like cattle guards. It seems to work for some unknown reason. One official says. "Not a caw has crossed one yet". —o— Even in the hustle of getting mar- ried, a Fort Worth, Texas, man re- membered his -customers. ' On the door W-4,leis restaurant, he left this sign; "Gone to get married. Be right back—I hope". —o— The plans of Actress Rita Hay- worth to divorce Aly Khan may be a good topic for conversation, but they can't be bandied about in Parliament. During house discussion of the'pro- cedure used in handling Canadian di- vorce bills, George Murray, the Lib- eral member for Cariboo, thought the time appropriate to discuss Rita. "Mister Chairman," he said, rising to his feet. "The world has recently been shocked by the divorce of Aly Khan." But members didn't have time to throw their personal opinions around. House Committee chairman J. A. Dion ruled him "out of order". —o— An English newspaper tells the story o?'a London stock broker who replied to induction orders from the War Office by reference to the Bible. "Look up," he wrote, "St. Luke 14: 20," The verse says, "I have married a wife and therefore I can not come" However the War Office wasn't, stumped, The newspaper reports the man got a reply suggesting that he look up St. Luke 7:8. This verse reads, "Fel. I also am, a man set tinder authority having un- der me soldiers and I say unto one, go and he goeth, and to another, come and he corneal."
