This text produces three thoughts
—There is a God; We shit, i tzieet
Him; Preparation must be made.
1, There is a God. A Ood is that
which is nearest atid dearest to
the _heart's aleaire, Money, property,
plemaire, or even a human being
may be our God. We depend upon
then; for our existenee and, happi-
ness, They, pevertheless way fail
us at any time. The One True God,
Whq created us; and upon Whom
we depend for life and health; as
well as eternal security is the One
Wbo eupercedes all material Gods.

Yes, it's true, all right. It's taken
alMest 14 years of pie plotting
to organize it, but I've done it.
I've GOT AWAY FROM THE
FAMILY. That may pot sound
like much to you young people.
But every father, every mother,
knows it's just about the next
hardest thing to walking on top
of the waves.
I'm attending the special summer
course for high school teachers.
Don't ask me why. It's all rather
confusing. Except that as I watch-
ed those teachers' salaries go up
and up, and I pondered over that
big, fat two-month vacation every
summer, it suddenly dawned on me
that I was a dedicated teacher,

be on the third pot of tee. And
the QId Leda' would he hollering
down that I was out of my mind
and Aviv didn't I come to bed like
normal people. •
But I've got clean away from
that bourgeois and distracting at-
mo.aphere? I'm -sitting in a cell
in a men's residence. The ash tray
is piled high with butts. There's
no tea, And there isn't a sound
to disturb me. Except -the bird
in the next cell pounding the wall
and offering rude suggestions
about what I ahould do with my
typewriter. It is only 2 a.m.
Ten years as a dedicated editor
have left me thin, harassed, twitch-
ing, and with an abiding hatred of
the telephone. So it is with a
deep sense of nothing that I turn
over the editorial chair to my tern=
porary successor. Guess who it is.
This will murder you.

Battleaxe.
For the past ten years she has
told me, and believed, that all I
do is sit in the office :and talk to
people. She has compared this
leisurely rife to her own lowly es-
tete; scrubbing floors, doing the
laundry, painting and wallpapering,
putting out the garbage, and a lot
of trivial stuff like that.
That's why I can't understand
why she gets so sore when I roar
With laughter, every time I refer
to her as the new editor. All of
a sudden, she has not only cluing-
ed- her tune, but the words as
• She wails :"But what am I
going to do? - ',won't know where
to -begin." And' when I tell her
all she has to do- is sit in the office
and talk to people, she turns white.

When this deal first Caine up,
she was full of syinnathy for me.
"I certainly don't envy you", the
said. "Sweltering down in the hot
old city, studying like mad, Jiving
like a monk." This was when she
thought somebody else would be
enitor, and she'd be lolling around
all summer, taking the kids for
swims, and waiting for Me to get
home -Friday nights.
Now the refrain goes something
like this: "I certainly envy you,
I'nx stock here with the kids, and

The other night, before l left for

to her that this deal Works two

Pap Wins hap; Advance-Times,
Last week's issue of The Ad-
vance-Times carried the announce-
ment of dates for TB surveys which
are to be held in this area shortly.
The regular TB check-up, like many
of our other blessings, is something
'we fail to count.
-Tuberculosis is the type of di-
sease which will, in all probability,
always be with us. The fact that
only a small percentage of the popu-
lation is affected does not minimi4e
the danger, for if TB were permitted
to go unopposed it would only be a
matter of a few years until it would
be back to its old and terrible pro-
portions. In this part of Canada its
threat has been largely contained—
but only through the full co-opera-
tit) of health authorities and general
PROVING ITS WORTH
With. the swimming area at the
Maitland River open only a few days,
there is simply no doubt that it is
worth much more • than the small
amount required to put it into oper-
ation. Children by hundreds have
swarmed. to the new river pool,
where they can splash about to their
heart's content, under the watchful
eye -of the supervisor.
We have long favored the plan
of making full use of the beautiful
river which surrounds the town. Al-
th6ugh the present facilities may not
be as complete in some respects as
an -artificial pool, there are other
advantages, not the least of which
is the completely natural surround-
ings.-
- It is possible that the sand will
have to be replaced after next year's
freshet, but that is not impossible,
and in the interval the youngr chil-
dren are having the time of their
lives.
. THE PLANNING GOAL
Planning, in order to be effective,
must, like any effective human ac-
tion, have a goal. It must have
before it an image of what-it wants
to achieve, even if the fulfilment
of that image may seem far re-
moved, time-wise, or never com-
pletely attainable. Without such an
image; without a lodestar, the hu-
man energies and the enthusiasm
necessary to bring us at least close
to the ideal will never be generated.
What could this image of the
city or metropolis of the future be
like? Let's try' to visualize the city
of tomorrow. It is . a place where
human .beings canAiVe .and .ivork and
rest, each in his own fashion; a place
in which each has a choice between
solitude, companionship with a few,
or sociability with many; a place
which allows us to fulfill our needs
in childhood, youth, maturity, old
age, in sickness and in health, in
'varying moods, in all the seasons, at
any time of day or night. It offers
exciting areas full of vitality and
glamour, challenge and inspiration,
It offers peace and relaxation in our
homes, in parks and in natural sur-
roundings. It offers opportunity for
the exercise of the body and of the
mind. The city of the future is one
where everyone has a free choice as
to the type of surroundings in which
he wishes to live, independent of
colour, race, creed, nationality or
economic fortunes, a choice which
can be made on the basis of personal
likes, of one's age and occupation,
the number and age of one's children.
On this basis, one might choose be-
tween living in outlying communities
or nearer to the heart of the city or
right in the active core itself.
The city of tomorrow is a place
in which all backstage functions run
smoothly and noiselessly, out of
sight and hearing. in which not only

This disease is somewhat like a

sure there is none in your own back-
yard, your neighbor can never be

removed from consciousness. , In the

SUPERVISION IS
NECESSARY
Though we are not at all - in
favor of the curtailment of any of
our hard-won freedoms, the town's
recent move to tighten up the local
building code is a good one, Only
by such supervision can we expect
to develop a community of which we
can he justly proud.
If the building inspector fails, to
approve the construction of a low
grade structure, no doubt the owner
is going to feel pretty sore. at the in-
spector, the town council and all
concerned. However, it must be
borne in mind that wherever a build-
ing is erected it is of necessity ad-
jacent to some other person's prop-
erty, and on the neighbour's land
there may well be a home of which
the owner is proud: If a poor build-
ing goes up next door the value of
the finer property is definitely cur-
tailed.
At the present time there is con-
siderable building in progress in
Wingham. We are under the influ-
ence of post-war. -conditions and
there may never again be a tiine
when as many buildings are being
put up at any one time. It would
therefore, be a shame to permit hap-
hazard building and poor planning,
NOT SO INTENSE
A week in New Brunswick's
French-Canadian North Shore coun-
try has left us with a new outlook
on life. The people with Whom we
associated there could teach the folks
of Ontario a few things about the
general satisfactions of living.
After all is said and done, most
of us are seeking as much happiness
as we can find, compatible with the
fulfillment of our duties and obli-
gations. We didn't see that the
French-Canadian families were slip-
ping as far as duty was concerned,
and certainly we find them filled.
with a spirit of merriment that is in-
deed rare in our own society. Per-
haps the difference lies in the stan-
dard of living. We are all so intent-
ly concerned about the payments on
the new car and the new house we
would like to buy that we may be
missing the opportunity to really
enjoy ourselves; Whether or not
that is the reason, we, personally,
found the . contagious laughter and
pervading kindness of our hosts was.
very good for our ulcers.
