BAND TATTOO GOOD ENTERTAINMENT As we predicted, the band tattoo last Wednesday night was well worthwhile. It was first-class entertainment from start to finish—and of the sort that is very popular with the public. Frankly we thought it a grand change from an overly-steady diet of bingos. Though the night was very chilly there was a fairly good turnout. It is to be hoped that the band will,not lose hope before next year, for it seems apparent that a second effort of this kind, with good weather to aid the cause, would he very well support- ed. * ARENA FLOOR WILL ADD TO USEFULNESS It is expected that the local' arena will be completely- floored with concrete within the next week or two. Though the floor is, like everything else these days, an expensive item, it is absolutely necessary if the arena is to serve in its full capacity. Canadian weather being what it is most of the events which are planned for summer evening's should either be lield inside, or at least there should be under-cover facilities available in case of bad weather. Therefore the fact that the arena will be open for use at all seasons should have much to do not only with such events as are regularly held in the sunnier months, but it should also provide an induce- ment for organizations to plan more such events and so fill out the year with a better balanced program of activi- ties. C. N. E. IS "GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH" Once again the Canadian National Exhibition is in swingMull at Toronto, and most people still get a big kick .out of the attractions it offers. For many years the "Ex" has been thrilling visitors, not only from its home city and Province, but from many foreign lands as well. There have ""been bigger expositions, in the United States and Europe, ibut there never was a bigger annual exhibition. The marvel of the thing is that it is possible to main- tain the attendance anti the value of exhibits year after :year, on an increasing scale. We have read not a few criticisms of the way the "Ex" is operated, one of them this year being that there is too much American slant to the whole thing. Perhaps the crit- ics are right—but on the whole the job is very well hand- led. We suppose that the committee in charge of arrange- Inents has a big job on its hands in trying to please all of the :people all of the time.

Apparently the old spirit of neighborliness is not altogether dead. Not long ago a farm wife was bewailing the fact that folks in the country just don't know how to be good neigh- bors any more, and. we suppose that to some extent that is true. Real neighbours are those people who know how to help the other fellow out without being asked, They co- -operate, not because of any particular sense of duty, but rather front an instinctive and basic kindness which is one of the fairest of all human sentiments. Such a spirit no doubt developed because the pioneers soon learned that they could not live independently of one another. Facing the hardships and unexpected crises of life in a raw land, they were brought face-to-face with the unlimited value of good neighbors. It is true, of course, that we of the modern age, do not depend nearly so heavily upon our neighbors. For that reason our manners have become sloppy and often our hos- pitality is niggardly. However, it is indeed refreshing and encouraging to read of these "bees", when dozens from one locality will offer their assistance to a friend who has had a run of tough luck. Unhappy though the victim of mis- fortune may be himself about the situation which calls for this kind of help, it is perhaps just as well that such occas- ions do arise frequently enough to remind us that good neighbors are never out of style. RECEPTION OF IMMIGRANTS SEEMS POORLY ARRANGED During the past week this newspaper and another in this locality carried stories of immigrant families who were left stranded .upon their arrival in this section. Through a change in circumstancecs after the original ar- rangements were made, the homes to which the newcomers were to go were no longer open to them. Something must be badly wrong with the organization behind the immigra- tion scene.' Undoubtedly there is a reasonable explanation for the two cases we have in mind, but it is hard to forget the desolation and confusion which must haunt the minds of these people when they find themselves in the middle of a strange country with no place to go. We understand that all those who seek to emigrate to Canada from Europe are most carefully screened for suitability as future citizens of this country. If they are good enough to pass these rigid tests, surely they are worth looking after until they are placed, and at a type of work which will provide them with livelihood. LITTLE BUILDER SAYS....
