OPEN SEASON •FOR

announced by the Ilonourabie
Clare E, Mapledoram, •
The Minister stated that just as

annual cut of trees which can be
taken without prejudice to the
forest, there is , also an allowable,
annual harvest, of moose. In spite
of Jeng, eeasons..anod. PerMisslen to
kill one mopse,iegatellese of sex or
age, Ontario hunters were taking
far fewer moose then they might,

TIME TO BE IN THE
MOOD
rrontier Days are just over the
laump now and many of the Mer-
chants along the main street have
gone to considerable trouble to dress
their windows to, 'suit the Wila West
theme. Their efforts will not only
bier rewarded as 'far as business is
concerned, but they are much ap-
, preciated by the people who are try-
ing earnestly to build a worthwhile
annual fiesta which will draw visit-
:ors to Wingham for a good time at
'the end of each summer.
As we said last week, the entire
success of frontier Days is depen-
dent upon, the good natured co-
operation of all in the community
and ,the reward .can well be gratify-
. ing in the extreme if this spirit con-
tinues to prevail, '
The merchants, of course, are
not the, only people who can offer,
some assistance when it comes to
getting the town into the frontier
mood. We would like to see every
possible person in Western garb, not
only for the actual Frontier rays,
but- for several days preceding the
event. Those who are passing
through the ,town are bound to ask
questions apd a fine, free advertising
campaign will result from the curios-
ity of those who begin to wonder
NVhat goes on here.

experience is still the rarest and
most valuable entity in, the business
world, It teaches lessons that will
never be available in any classroom,
The chief function of our educa-
tional system is to so train yotmg
minds that they become sharpened
s 'tools, ready to take on any neces-
sary task. Public and high school
education should. mean that the
yoUth of 18 or 19 ,is a keen, intelli-
gent thinker, prepared to undertake
further and specialized education or
to begin the slow task of fitting him-
self to the needs of industry or busi-
ness so that, he will eventually be
able to assume a position of respon-
sibility and trust.
The patience to believe in such an
attitude toward earning a living
often lacking in yoaing people, and
we have every sympathy for their
desire to set the world on fire in one
terrific burst of energy, and we save
a low regard for the parent or em-
ployer who would deny that young
people have any right to an opinion
'whatever. The world is badly in
need of a prOper -blending of the
idealism of youth in proper mixture
with the experience of middle years.
The way our world is headed at
the present time we will stand
great need of the thoughtful guid-
ance of today'S school children about
20'years from now:: They rnay Well
face tasks of far greater magnitude
than any in previous history. Next
week is, indeed ,• an important one
for every, one of us.
DANGEROUS WEEK=END
"Over., the , coming Labour-pay
week-end, motor traffic will be ,at a
record high level and there. will be
a greater need than ever for atten-
tion to safety rules by everybodY,"
the Hon, James N. ,Allan, Ontario
Minister of Highways' states- in a
special pre-holiday safety appeal. •
"It is traoric indeed that sum-
mer's last big holiday, which is 0-
served all over the continent, is so
marred- by accidents and the threat
of accidents," Mr. Allan says.
Here in Ontario many thousands
of cottagers, -Vacationist& and Visi-
tors, from the States and other Can-
adian . provinces be- returning
home. The Canadian N,ational Ex-
hibition will be drawing great num-
bers of people to and from,Toronto.
finally in preparation for the open-
ing of ,school right after Labour
Day, parents will be.. getting their
children ready - for,. school, many
thousands of them for the first time.
Millions ' of people will be con-
cerned in Ontario's traffic safety
picture in the next few days. Despite
all that can be done and is being
done by the police forces and safety
organizations throughout the Pro-
vinee, safety is still a personal .re-
sponsibility. Only a determined and
unselfish effort,by everyone to pro-
tect thenaselves and others will pre-
vent a needless waste of life, health
and property over this coming week-
end."
The Minister illustrated the ser-
iousness of his appeal by stating
that, "over the years, the Labour
Day week-end has been our second
worst period of the' year for traffic
aceidents, Our statistics show that *
in 1956, •a total of 23 people were
killed in 20 motor vehicle accidents
over this period and 30 were killed
during the Labour Day week-end in
1955 in 22 accidents. The week-end
accident toll of this summer is also
a warning. Nine lives were lost in
traffic accidents in Ont.ario ,over
May 24th week-end. Dominion Day
week-end' traffic took a toll of 15
lives and. 21 people were killed over,

totals tell the whole story. Vat '

I would like to express through
the medium of your good paper, a
few words about our hospital,
It seems we 'have to require the
services of our boenital to really
find. Oat what goeS nn. X am in-
deed greatly impressed and very
Pleased to 4e such acts df kind-
ness so willingly given in deed as
Well as in words , at our hospital
every hour "of the day and seven
days a Week by the whole staff,
from the administratrix to those
who clean the rooms—away and
above That, might be considered
the call of ,duty,
In my opinion too few realize
what aqine asset we have for tills
vithOle, community and how lucky We
are to. be able to get such fine ser-
vice, not only from the executive
staff and qualified nurses and doe-
terse but also from those nurses'
aides and those in training, Such
a wonderful, cheerful group they
are, doing a splendid ,job and ap-
pear to be go happy in their work,
The pa,tienee and 'kind attention
given the elder folk, who are such
a, care, is a great credit to the
institution. To hear the cheery
and comforting remarks from the
staff and the doctors as they go
from room to room makes one
realize in a small way how juclg
we are to live-where we do. Think
of the work and planning to serve
300 or 400 meals every day, seven
days a week, many requiring spec-
ial diets. •
,My hope is that those who select,
guide and teach students may long
be spared to keep up the good,
though arduous work. We should
all try to encourage them in their
endeavours so we shall continue
to hear the favorable comment
from those who find. it necessary
to spend time in our hospital.
