to religion—that portion of our lives
which is supposed to bring out all
that is best and most generous with-

Perhaps there may be the odd
ambitious clergyman — the occas-
ional grasping minister. But if so
he has surely chosen the wrong pro-
fession, for it would take but poor
imagination for any young man to
realize the Opportunities for easy
pickings within the service of the
church are limited indeed.
Why dOn't we give our ministers.

that their main purpose in'life is to
serve their Master?

Special Prices
Are you among those people who
always think the ministers get too
much money ? For some unknown
reason there seems to be a wide-
spread belief that a clergyman can
live on something less than half the
wages of a factory worker.
If a minister decides to move on
to another church, where the salary
is $500 higher than the one paid in
his present charge, there are always
members of his congregation ready
to state quite emphatically that he
is interested only in money.
There are very few churches out-
side the large ones in the cities,
which pay more than $5,000 a year.
even to men of long experience and
proven dedication. Ye.t a high school
teacher, coming right out of O.C.E.,
usually starts at about that figure.
We all expect our ministers to be
fully educated with all possible uni-
versity degrees, We 'expect them to
behave with dignity, to dress in a
manner which does not cast reflec-
tion upon their church and its con-
gregation ; to . drive a car which is
reasonably elate in model and to
maintain their homes in a fairly
high standard,. If they are not able
to send their sons and daughters to
university we think there is some-
thing amiss. They are supposed to
be at our beck and call in every
emergency, major or minor—and we
secretly resent the fact that they will
be out • of town during the holiday
period.
Perhaps the use of "we" in this
case is too broad. CertainWthere are.
some church members who appreci-
ate the finer qualities of their minis-
ter, but the ones who don't, are all
too outspoken in their criticisms.
Our own theory is that if we are
going to maintain a Christian church
we have to pay its costs without
quibbling. We have accepted high
taxes at every level of administra-
tion . . with very little complaint.
We pay the high price of cars and
refrigerators and food — and say.
nothing. Why, then, this acute atti-

FARM FIRE
PRECAUTIONS
Each year, hundreds of Canadian
farmers are brought close to ,finan-
cial ruin by fire, according to the All
Canada Insurance Federation.
According to the Federation,
which represents more than 220 Ca-
nadian fire, automobile and casualty
insurance companies, • fire is the
farmer's greatest 'hazard. A farm fire
can destroy .home, husiness invest-
ment and the work.of years in a mat-
ter of ,hours.
The Federation recommends the
following safety measures to prevent
farm fires:
1—Allow hay and similar produce
to dry thoroughly before it is stored
in hams. Wet hay can start fires
through spontaneous° combustion.
2—Lightning arrestor systems
should be of a good make and prop-
erh' installed. They should be in-
spected at least once a year.
3—Radio and television antennae
should be adequately grounded.
4—Electrical wiring should be
checked regularly by experts, especi-
ally when new machinery or motors
are installed.
5—Wire fences attached to build-
ings should be grounded at the near-
est fenc.epost to the building. This is
another protection against lightning.
6—Electrical wires for lights
should be installed in approved fa-
shion. Extension cords strung over
rafters or nails are dangerous.
7—Gasoline„ kerosene and other
inflammables should be stored in
well-marked safety cans.
8—Stoves or other heating equip-
ment should. he cleaned and inspected
at least once a year,

Well, we've completed our plans
for this year's vacation. According
to the calendar, I can chisel. a
week's holidays at the end of Aug-
ust, and we're all set, We're going
on a camping trip.
The kids and I would be happy
enough to spend the week at some
luxurious summer hotel, but the
Old Girl won't hear of it. She
thinks a week of roughing it is just
the ticket. Of course, she's always
been crazy about nature.
Lots of women, for example,
never go trout !Ming. They think
itis an insane pastime. Not my
wife. Many a time she's come right
along with me, She'll throw on an
old $20 pair of slim jims, and pull
on an old, rough, $18 sweater, and
just sort of take a swipe at her
hair with a comb for about ,ten
minutes, and slap on some make-
up in 15 minutes„ and she's all set.
She ties an old $7 scarf around
her hair and away we go. And
when we get to the stream, do you
think she complains about the hard.
going and the mosquitoes? Not' on
your life. She just rolls up the car
windows, gets out her book, turns
on the radio and sits there, rough-
ing It, while I fish.

But she's always been wild about
nature, so it's no wonder she talk-
ed us into this camping trip. She
just likes to get right out in nature
and revel in it. She's what you
might call an amateur naturalist.
She knows the name of all the wild
flowers, like the dandelion and the
geranium, and you can't fool her on
birds, You'll be standing there,
wondering what that bird is, and
before you can tentatively murmur
"thatch-crofted tit-willow," she's
flashed out "It's a, crow." • "
You can spot this love of nature
every • ti me;-We a. Woe ie Meq,
a time I've seen her sit right down
on a rock or a when I've for-
gotten the folding chairs. And
often, she'll get out of the car the
minute we arrive and march right
down and look at the water for ten
or twelve seconds at a stretch,
And you can tell she's mad abont
nature by- the way she keeps talk-
ing about camping trips. We've
been talking about a campieg trip
ever since we got married, I just
sort of ramble on in an imprac-
tical way about the fishinjand sit-
ting around the campfire and stuff
like that. But you can snot her as
a seasoned camper, because she
gets down to sensible things and
makes a, list of what she'd need,
things like her ironing board and a
spring-filled mattress. I guess the
reason we've never gone on our
camping trip is that I'm too
dreamy and romantic about it, and
never get down to the basic essen-
tials, as she does.

Lots of women, in this age of soft
living, have lost touch with nature.
They think they're roughing it like
their pioneer ancestors if they
spend two weeks at a cottage with
outdoor.plembing.
My wife isn't like that, and I ad-
mire ilter for it, I've seen her spend
a week in a cottage, right out on
seine wild heath with no neighbors
etoser than forty or fifty feet,,and
nothing to cook on but an old elec-
tric stove with only two burnerey
and do you think there was a
whimper Out of her? Not on your
life.
And she's absolutely intrepid in
the outdoors. Scone women are
frightened of anything bigger than
an ant. Not my brave girl. rye

She doesn't seem to know the
meaning of fear, when she's out in
nature. I've seen her go right out

POOR SUGGESTION
Provincial Affairs Minister War-
render popped a real dandy in his
address to the convention of mayors
and reeves in London last week when
he suggested the need for a "flying
squad" of provincial inspectors to
check up on municipal spending.
There were denials the following day
that the minister really meant what
he said, but by that time the fat was
in the fire.
The suggestion was a most un-
palatable one. Almost every man
who has served in municipal govern-
ment in any way is keenly aware
just how much freedom of action has
been sacrificed in the pah 25 years.
There was a time when a town or
township was an independent unit.
It made its own decisions and faced
its own problems. About the only
outside influence felt by a local coun-
cil was from the county government,
but that could be accepted with good
grace because the local reeve was a
county council member and had a
voice in its deliberations.
Then, of course, came the great
urge to secure "government grants"
—and with every grant given a little
shaving of independence was re:-
moved. That a provincial minister
could even suggest surveilance is
proof that things have 'certainly
changed.
The truth of the matter is that
the province already has pretty tight
control of municipal spending. Ex-
penditures for street construction
must be approved ; education costs at
all levels are subject to percentage
want, and so must he approved by
Toronto ; welfare costs are in the
same category, ,and so on. In addi-
tion, no municipality is permitted
to engage an auditor ito check its
accounts at the end of the year unless
he is licensed and so approved by
the government. Just how a tothi
can get very far out of line is quite
a mystery.
Admittedly a few towns have had
some real jim-dandies in the way of
had administration, but they are few
indeed.
LET'S BRIGHTEN IT UP
Wingham looks pretty smart
right now. New buildings are going
up along the main street, always a
good sign to outsiders. Most places
of business are tidy and clean. The
flower pots on the lighting standards
add an extra note of beauty and in -
dicate a civic pride which is well
worth while.
This would be a good time to
start a little campaign aimed right
straight at the main street property
owner whose premises needs a fresh
coat of paint. Perhaps he is entitled
to the feeling that when he paints is
his own business, but we doubt it.
The business section of the town is.
after all, our rumst noticeable form
of municipal advertising and the few
who neglect appearances are injuring
the many who are keenly aware of
the need for putting their best foot
forward.
Anyone who has driven around
Western Ontario knows full well the
impact which is made bY a clean and
well-kept main street. On the con-
trary, you can all nanle towns and
villages where the general impression
is one of slovenliness and lack of in-
terest. These places are depressing
they are spots we never go back to
if we c,an avoid it,
BEST SELLERS ,
Great importance is attached to-
day to "Best Sellers". Some song
rendered by a popular singer sells
over a million recordings, a leading
brand of soap outsells the market,
a particular, make of automobile
sells more than its competitor.
Generally, this would suggest
that the product or service that is
in 50 much demand must be of
great worth, that it must have
some exceptional value. Therefore
it would be most difficult to im-
agine that the millions of record-
ings were scarcely ever played, or
that large quantities of soap sat
nausea on the shelves of the
householders who bought them, or
that the popular car remained idle
in the buyer's garage collecting
rust and dust.
Strangely enough, that is the
fate of the "best seller" in 'books.
It is relatively seldom read and in
