The show is sufficient ly large in scope to provide some thin' interesting to every man, \''o r+ malt and child in the community. Not only sloesthe fair offer some thing interesting andentertaiining for the general public, : but it also acts as mirror .for the progressive spirit of the community, Most of us tare fa- rniliar with the stores ,and industries in the town, but it is a great thing to have the goods, services and pro ducts of Wingham out on display IS EUGENIA LOST? Announcement was made not long ago that the cram, near Eugenia Fans,. which provided, water stor- age for one of the province's older sources of hydro power is in scich state of disrepair that it will be abandoned. As a c.oirsequence the water level irr the head pond has'beeri+ drastically lowered, leaving dozens of cottagers high and dry=, with noth- ing better to look at than mud. and stumps. Tt is understandable that Tug- enia's contribution to the total sup- ply of power may make repairs t?ln- economical as far as Hydro is con- cerned? but it is hard to believe that the scenic worth of the lake is not worth .preservation. Surely at much less expensive type of repair could be. carried out to provide adequate water ater storaa e for truly tove t y beauty spot, if not for the purposes of a hdro clevelopinent. The' Ontario .government is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to develop new park sites, not merely for the enjoy- ment of we who are citizens of the province, but at the same time i'ri rr carefully calculated hid for 1mer'ican tourist dollars. If -the lake' at Eugenia can he re stored, . the stream, instead of being diverted through tete fluni':es to the power plana, could be .permitted to follow its original course. In that case we would be ab1'e to enjoy one of the loveliest natural waterfalls in the country—a sight which has been denied several generations of nature lovers while the power plant was in operation. One has only to read the articles which appear in U, S. 'travel and sporting magazines to realize that to many A nericaias, Canada is the near- by wonderland cif the North , and they areal]: quite happy to spend sev- eral week -ends a -ear on trips into our province, where they spend lib- erally of their high-level inco9les. It is td be hoped that in the very near future a realistic plan for the preservation of the'lake at Eugenia will be announced. AT ITB BEST TRAGEDY OF PANIC A short time ago'.a Waterloo' man drowned just offshore atPhtrornbury, in one a the most nee'dltess,acciderrtis we have heard about in recent years.

The boat operator,• who stayed'. with the craft, repaired the slight damage to his boat and brought it safety ashore .while efforts were stilt being made to locate the body of his friend. Accidents of this kind are giving a very bad name to one of the most enjoyable sports in Canada. The law now requires the regl'stratiiont of aft boats Poweredby motors of ten horsep'ower•and over. It is also illegal' to take to the water without a fife jacket of authorized g1Lafity for each passenger. However,. the law cannot do much to protect the person who fails to use commons sense or yields to blind panic. It is too bad that sorrrewhere in Pvtreducation' there r 8r ta test st for reaction to etnergencies. `.ire after tittle we have seen strong and other- wise sensible men respond like small children to the sudden preserlce• cif danger or emergency. Such people sht'otttfd never, of course, venture near the water. There are others who are sor'oo'f that emergencies simply never arise. They foresee danger and act to prevent its consequences. IT'S ALL THERE Last week we were confronted with a most disappointing opinion about our newspaper. A disgruntled reader informed us that The Ad- vance -Times "is all pictures." The in- sinuation was that we have adopted a policy of increased picture 'cover- age at the expense of news .items. We certainty have increased the number of pictures—to the very evi- dent pleasure of the majority of our readers, if an increase of se- erafhun- dred in circulation during the past three years is any criterion. Increas- ing: the use of pictures was" not ac- .complished without considerable Mood and sweat, and believe us the tears often flowed freely- when we dug away down for the seven -odd thousand dollars required.. to pur- chase the engraving equipment on which the plates for those same *- tures are made. sent picture we run in the paper bears a cost of approldmatety five dolltars,• after allowance is• Made for camera and dark room equipment, engraving machinery and stt'pplfesr not to mention the time required to take the, hotos (usually ht p � S at night urf1ett the rest of humanity out ett- jOyfing itself).

Furthermore we are sure that It is the minimum► re- quirement to obtain the next. The text referred toabove reads: "For by (trace are ye saved through Faith and that not of yourselves it is the OW of God." Wont is the faith that saves? It is not of the mind which thinks and imagines and 'develops phil- osophies. Neither is it of the will which imposes itself upon our way. of life and makes our decisions for Us. Nor is it acceptance without question the rules and Observances of our religion or our "•faith" as it is called. It is rather of the 'heart. A warm impassioned persuading conviction which is itself convinced and likewise convinces others, An overuling,emotion which takes pre- ecedence in the life and colours: all '.of its actions and words so that ,life IS seen to have become differ- 'lent and better with a new quality :from what it was before. This Faith is obtained from God. It is a revelation' of the Spirit. It .is by no means ordinary. All men do riot have it and some never willhave it. It is a sixth faculty of the soul which makes a man aware of God and rbrin'gs him peace because he is not afraid of God, • but his faith ktas shown intim; that God is 'Ave. Saving faith comes from the Bible. "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of Gad." So says Paul in Romans 10. It cannot be developed from •phllosoph r but may be received by believing In the Book of God. One definition "of faith has been given as "Faith is believing what God ;bas said:" Faith likewise can eome' to us by believing the truth las it 1s preached to us. For "Faith cometh :lay hearing and hearing ,by the Word of God." It Is true to say that the largest part of the multitude of believers' have receiv- ed. faith to be. saved- In this way. Faith; will also, spine to us ;from GO :through prayer. Some who 'have. been under great desire and have earnestly prayed have re- ceived „the revelation of faith through prayer. It comes in a mo- ment. It is 'a revelation. We say, "Nov.,. I see." "Now I know," ' Wha,•t% once was vague and unln- telligbletome is. now 'clear." "I am' sped, Glory to His Name!' , Z'hii • is .the first of what might be called the fruits of faith. 'It is convieition, assurance, the certain- ty that something has happened. And that something is that we are forgihen. We who were conscious Of our guilt and our sin are for- given? We are cleansed, we are washecj„. we are purified. It has happened; No one can shake that • Rev. F. A, Lb'vman 7`eeswate r assurance. This then. of course, immediafei!Y brings the Peace of .Cod. We are happy, beyond un- derstanding we are full of joy. It is more wonderful than we have ever known anything to have 'been or thought anything could be. "For by Grace ye are Saved, through Faith it is the Gift of God. Can you wonder why it is that people whoare blessed in this way want to tell others? It 1$ always the :Same. The Shepherds ran to find the Babe and then told every- one. ; Andrew visited with Jesus and then • ran to finds his brother. Peterji Faith, brings commu'nien. tion. It makes' us want to tell oth- ers, We cannot help it. We have fallen in love and the object of our love 1s .,esus. Oil yes: And the greatest fruit of all faith is a holy life. That means new desires, purer pxrsults, cleaner edmpanions; finer friends or the olds ones likewise changed• By our testimony and example cleaner conversation and' a desire to please God. This is Salvation. And our new found. faith will keep us and 'b'ring us one day to Glory by the pow- er of Hint who has saved' us. Who, is that who has saved' us? Tt is ot'r Messed Lord and Saviour .7estla Christ who gave Himself for us upon the Cross of Calvary and • Waits to save all Who will believe. 111111III11511111 llo:mhllltmelM1111ar1111111111111111a111111111111111111ffin:litniillill:1111111111 illi111111:11111111:111Hn@allnll1111:II11111111111 @Thiel UGAR and SPICE 11111111iilitlllilit By Bill Smiley rlllililili1111 Tomorrow, I'lt be forty-one.
