The Bible's National Message
We believe that the Celto-Sason peoples
are the descendants of God's servant
race and nation, Israel: that our ancient
hone. ss the "bonlinnation of the throne
of David; and, in view of present world
conditions, that a general recognition of
this identity AND its implications is
matter of vital and urgent importance.

With thousands xlf Canadians
taking to the air every day, and un-
told thousands planning air travel in
the near future, we can congratulate
ourselves on the very excellent ser-
vice offered in this country by our
two - major air lines. Personally
we have never had an oPportunity to
use .Canadian Pacific„, but on many
trips by TCA the experience has al
ways been excellent,
Last week the need for a hasty.
trip to Detroit, following a meeting
in Toronto resulted in a flight from
Malton to Windsor and return,
While enjoying the smooth and
speedy passage the thought occur-
red that many in our own commun-
ity may be unaware of the pleasant
details of air travel.
The flight time from Malton to
Windsor is a little under an hour,
but since both legs of the -journey
occurred at supper time, we were
able to enjoy two of the delicious
meals served by the stewardess (at
no extra charge). A meal served
aboard an airliner is an experience
in itself. The food arrives piping
hot on a compact little tray, with
the cream, catsup, salad dressing or
what have you in neat little spill-
proof plastic containers. One of the
meals included curried chicken with
three vegetables, chef's tossed salad
and Italian dressing, hot roll and
butter and a generous piece" of apple
pie. The coffee was hot and deli-
cious. We never fail to marvel at
the efficiency of this service all
THE WELL SWEPT LOOK
Walking around downtown De-
troit the other day we were struck
by the fact that in the very heart
of the city everything is so tidy.
SideWalks and the streets themselves
seem remarkably feee of the litter
which one' usually associates with
big general -atmosphere
of good grooming is enhanced to
considerable degree by the fact that
the, streets in that part of Detroit
are generally wide and several of
them have boulevards in the centre,
Street cars are no longer operated,
which is also a great improvement.
What a fine impression is cre-
ated by the sight of a well-kept, tidy
business section. This same problem
is one which has been aired many
;times at Wingham's town council
meetings, and it must be said that
the solution is difficult to attain.
Though we have trash cans every-
few yards along the main street, we
seem to have well-developed litter-
bug tendencies. The appearance of
our main street on a Sunday morn-
ing in the summer time, when out-
Side-' traffic is rolling through,. is
enough to,. frighten away _any of
those motorists who might ever haVe"
contemplated stopping for a longer
look at our town.
The council has tried every means
to keep the street tidy, and we be-
lieve that there has been some im-
provement .7— but old habits are
hard to break. It does take a little
mental training to walk to the trash.
can with your empty cigarette pack-
age, but if you have done it once
you are likely to do it again..
Our main street could .be a very
attractive place, with the flowers on
the lamp standards and most busi-
ness places pretty well maintained.
This year will see even greater iiri-
provement, with several of the older
buildings removed and new ones go-
ing up in their places, Let's all try
to do our share in keeping the town
at its best, We wouldn't dream of
littering, tip our own front lawns, so
it shouldn't be too difficult to apply
the. same reasoning to our streets
and sidewalks.

Airline crews, pilots and steward-
esses are unfailingly courteous and
the girls. are experts in the gentle
art of soothing those who have first-
flight jitters. 'Another grand feature
of this means of travel: is the com-
plete absence of tipping. Airline
employees are well paid and so tips
can. be ruled out. Why railways
and hotels have not long since adopt-
ed the SB,1110 system we wouldn't
know. When no tips are expected or
offered the entire service and its
employees assume a new dignity..
Most flights are completely
smooth and uneventful. The modern.
aircraft which are in use today are
comparatively quiet ,and, when the
pilot lifts.his plane from the runway
one scarcely knows that he is air-
borne. Landings are usually -as
gentle as baby's breath. Naturally
there are times when weather con-
ditions make for "bumpy" flights,
but they are infrequent.
Canada has such a rigid schedule
of air safety regulations that passen-
gers need have very little fear of
accident, In point of fact you are
many times less likely to be killed
in a TCA or CPA aircraft than you
are on the highway in your own car.
If you tend to be pessimistic ,about
the dangers of a flight you' can buy
yourself some extra insurance in the
air terminal . . but the insurance
companies are so sure you are going
to survive that they offer $30,000
coverage 'for a premium, of one dol-
lar.
The biggest drawback to air
travel is the necessity to reach the
airport by taxi or car, usually over
crowded suburban .highways. No
doubt before too long most of the
airlines will open helicopter service
from the hotels to the airports.
The number of Canadians using
the airlines is bound to increase very
sharply, for already the fares on
longer flights .have!-'been. reduced—to'
the point where they are comparable
with' train and ship rates. In fact
in some cases we understand they
.are now lower, It may be rough on
the rail and shipping companies, but
it certainly is grand for the travel-
ling public.
CONGRATULATIONS
We can speak without hesitation
for all the people- who were in the
High School auditorium last Friday
evening when we extend congratu-
lations to the staff ,and pupils of
the Public School. The variety con-
cert they presented was excellent
throughout. If the size of the crowd
on Friday night is any indication
the event will run into two presen-
tations next year.
Many of the musical numbers
were delightful, and the, display of
tumbling and pyramid work sur-
prised lots of folks who had no idea
that the public school children were
so well trained athletically.
The concert was presented in
place of the usual music festival, and
we certainly think it was a wise de-
cision. Though the festivals have
always been well attended by inter-
ested parents and friends, it was, to
say the very least, more than a hit
boring. The repetitions of th'e same
songs over and over again was neces-
sary, but certainly not entertaining.
The concert, on the other hand, pro-
vided something new with each
number, and expressions of pleasure
could be heard on all sides.
The same enthusiasm is felt for
the high school concert, In. fact
this year'S performance was 'excep-
tional in quality and guaranteed full
attendance at the same event next
year. Mrs, Marie Douglas, music
supervisor for both public and high
sch6ols deserves a great deal of
credit for the high calibre of these
programs.
The concerts, too, allow expres-
sion for those pupils who are not
necessarily brimming with music
and so provides a far wider range
of opportunity than was the case
with the music festival„
