As heath is numbered among the' most precious of earthly goods, so illness is con- sidered to be one of the greatest afflictions, especially whdn it is painful or of long duration, or when it Is the cause of great want, not only to himself, but also to his family, If we consider that without God's: will not a sparrow falls from the tree, nor a hair from our heads, we must be firmly con- vinced that whataoever God des- tines for us comes from His most wise and loving designs, since "for those who love God all things turn to their good." If we look only at the present life and its earthly happiness, we cannot understand the plan of God Whq has willed that we undergo trials here below in order to re, ward us in heaven, Present ills are but means of purifying our souls of sin, and occasions of gaining merits—all in view of God's glory and man's eternal happiness. he 'heard above the howl of the wind, 'The only people who are laughing 'are being fatten away by' the boys in. the white coats.

Rome IIS ;28; "To them that love God, all things work together unto god." Why does God' send me this trouble? Why does God allow me to suffer. so much and for such a long time? These questions are frequently asked by people who at times are tempted to doubt God's infinite goodiesS. They fail to realize that much good can come from 1,uffering. 'Phere is no one on earth to be more pitied than the Person who refuses to see the power for good working in all the trials and difficulties that come one's way. Nothing happens without God's order or permission. But God is infinite goodness, and therefore cannot will or permit anything but for the good of souls. God directly sends very few crosses or trials.

Yonr song can't Winter has retreated as sullenly as a rattlesnake with an ulcer. Summer is as remote as heaven. And the of of Canada are at the end of their tether. In most northern countries, win- ter is the. bad time, The Finns and the Swedes and the Russians do most of their suiciding in the melancholy of the long; • dark months. Not Canadians. We are too busy curling and going to meetings and watching the hockey games on television. No, we get through the winter famously. It's around the end of March that Canadians begin to brood, to draw in on themselves, to eye each ether 'darkly. About this .time of year, though an out- skier would never suspect it, most Canadians are as mad as March h 0 - 0 - 0 What's behind- it all? tVirst, i it. must be remembered that we have just come through a five-months' siege by ,a fierce, determined and implacable enemy. We have fought gallantly and well but our nerves are frayed, our bodies racked, and our galoshes holed. Second, though the enemy has moved off, the re- lief column is at least a month away. Our starving souls must feed en something,, ,and there's nothing around to eat ibut people. 0 - 0 - 0 There are terrible scenes in our homes, as men and women chew at each other and children snap at their parents.

It's simply that the residents of this country have entered that miserable, wet, cold, frustrating, dismal season that delights in the name of Spring, gladsome Spring. We might as well be honest about it. Spring in this country is a hideous nightmare that May last from the end. of March to the middle of May.

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„ The Whugham. idvunce-'Tines,, Nirednead y March g9„. 10(4 SERVICE SUPREME
