"It's a nice day to-day", probably starts more conversations than any other phrase. Even if it's a miserable day everyone says, "It's a nice day to- day". The weather is very unreliable and so is the art of conversation, What goes for one man doesn't work with another. Mentioning the weather isn't always a sure way to arouse a man's interest but it is one of the safest. Perhaps that accounts for its popularity. Sit down in a barber chair and what does the barber say? "Nice day to-day", and barbers are supposed to be brilliant conversationalists. The very monotony of this greeting is enough to discourage any aspiring talker. Never having travelled in foreign climates, we don't know just how other countries handle this problem of opening- a conversation but we imagine probably the French have a much better system. They are supposed to be superior lovers as well as conversationalists. The big- gest barriers to an intelligent conversation today are the continual rush of everyday matters and the lack of intel- ligent listeners. It is obvious that things happen faster now than ever before. We travel faster and consequently find it hard to settle down long enough for a prolonged talk. But the greatest failing, is the lack of intelligent lis- teners. Nobody wants to listen. Everyone wants to have the floor. If someone else is talking we are already think ing, of what we are going to say next and consequently fail to take in what is being said. Alas it is a cold world without the warmth of friend- ly conversation and we are missing one of the real joys of our existence, There is no profit in talking except what we reap from it ourselves. SERVICE CLUBS We wonder sometimes if the work done by the two local service clubs, the Kinsmen and the Lions, isn't taken too much for granted. The amount of money that these two clubs spend on recereation for our youngsters and the help they give to many citizens is too often accepted as a matter of course. These clubs must needs have ways of raising money for this work and to do this they bring a good deal of entertainment to our town. Without the service clubs, Wingham would be a much poorer place in many ways, To-night and to-morrow night there will be a big Air Force show here from Clinton which has been re- ceiving favourable mention wherever it has played. This is one of those many opportunities which you will have to help your local service clubs. The way to do this is to be there one of those nights. This is a joint effort of both the :tons and the Kinsmen. Help your town and have a good time while doing it. FUNNIES AREN'T FUNNY What has happened to the "funny papers" and the "comics" of old? There was a day when the funnies could he counted on for a laugh, To-day you can search any number of so-called funny papers in search of a laugh—all in vain. There isn't anything funny in the funnies anymore. In fact the name funnies is a misnomer and a more fitting title would be the "Worries". A glance at any self- respecting strip to-day will disclose that it deals with such serious problems as the atom bomb, Communism, crime and punishment, love and romance, life and death and always with a generous measure of sex added for flavour- ing. Adults read the comics as much as the youngsters to- day. This is a well-established fact, To tell the truth most people turn to the "comic" page before they read anything else, including the front page. The reason for this is no doubt to search for relaxation which they really don't find. They say that the world_ "frustrating" is overworked in our vocabulary to-day but it is a good title to apply to .the comic strips. We have become like Little Abner, who worries so about his comic strip hero, 'Tearless Fosdick", that he can't sleep or eat, Always we must wait until to-morrow to see whether our comic strip heroes get out of their difficulties or not. They always do, but it is still a ser- ions business, It is this seriousness of the "comics" that is our main concern., There is probably a good reason for it and we can only guess at it. Perhaps like blood and thunder comic books which appeal so to our youngsters, it is just a sign of the times, Perhaps ! This is a troubled world to-day and possibly the artists cannot keep a note of seriousness out of their strips. In any case'we would welcome a return to a trouble free comic page where the biggest problem does not in- volve life and death and where there is some humor worth a quiet chuckle. Then we would feel more like facing the world and its problems. We've had enough of this grim humor of the twentieth century, Mr: and Mrs, Clifford. Dodds are seen on the occasion of their 25th wedding anniversary when they were the guests of honour at a surprise party, Many neighbours and friends gathered at their home to wish them well, —Staff Photo, VE,WS OF WROXETER Community Mourns Sudden Death of Young Farmer Andrew Stuart Adams At Toronto General Hospital, on Tuesday, January 15th, following a short illness ,there passed into the great beyond ,a well known and high- ly esteemed young man of the com- munity, in the person of Andrew Stuart Adams, beloved husband of Doris Elliott Adams.
