The constant battling against in-
difference and utter disrega rd of
the things of God, It wears down
the soul of the worker and unless
there is daily spiritual rep7enish-
meat there may be discouragement
and cessation of effort.
It may be a lack of patience. We
are not willing to wait for a har-
vest, as does the farmer, who sows
and leaves the harvest to the only
One who can produce it. Dogged
perseverance does something to the
soul. It develops sturdiness and sta-
bility. It makes for strength a nd
superior manhood.
Perhaps there is too much self in
our service. We are concerned
about our success, ottr•feelings, our
reputation, and all too little con-
It's a lot of fun mowing the lawn,

eight cattle rustlers. I like a game
of bridge, but my heart yearns for
Russian Roulette. I know I have
trouble getting the top off a jar of
pickles, but I have a yen to baud
horseshoes with one hand.
I suppose a lot of you women
will think this is immature. But the
truth, however bitter, is that you
just haven't been able to tame the
wild man that lurks in every male
breast.
You think we're just sitting there
half asleep, watching television,

a showdown on the screen, observe

and doing Ills will regardless of
what happens to Us.
We may be walking by sight,
fancying that all we see Is all that
is being done. Gal is always doing
more than we see. We cannot peer
into other hearts and read their
thoughts and -desires. Faithful wit-
nessing is our responsibility, pro-
ducing results is God's. Let us do
our, part and expect God to do His.
Possibly We have become mech-
anical in our efforts and let go the
dynamics of spiritual service, Little
time for fellowship through the
Word will lead into lifeless routine.
We go out "as at other times" but
"wist not" that the power is absent.
Fellow Christian, is yeur spirit
saging? Then make th e necessary
adjustment and take a good look at
this text. "In due season we shall
reap," not "may" or "should" but
SHALL, That is "IF—we faint not."

That was my experience on Sun-
day morning when I accompanied
Bill Cruiltshank, one of our local
fly-boys, to an amateur pilots' meet
at the Kitchener-Waterloo airport.
Takin g off in perfect weather at
8.20, we had a most interestin g
view of the green patchwork of
farm lands and woods between
Win gham and Kitchener. About
25 minutes later Bill had neatly
Parked his aircraft in one of the
lon g rows which were forming be-
side the runway at Kitchener, and
we were on our way to a delicious
breakfast of pancakes, sausages,
-coffee, toast and jam, served out-
doors by the members of the K-W
Flying. Club. After breakfast the
flyers, their wives, girl friends and
assorted youn gsters of all .ages
gathered in g roups to ,exchan ge
greetin gs and news. Some' came
from as far afield as Ottawa, To-
ronto and other larger and smaller
flyin g clubs. •
I was most interested in the
chance to see at close range 'the
dozens of types of aircraft which
had been flown in for the . meet.
There were, of Course,a great
many of the more familia r ,small
craft such as Cesnas: Pipers .and
Stinsons, but' in . addition . there
were several older machines 'which
their ovenets have-carefully rehabi-
litated and put into service. 'there
were one or two. wartime Haryards,
a privately owned Chipmunk, the
plane' new used for eletinentary
training in the RCAF, and one, of
th e highlights of the ,morning 'was
the arrival of a glider from Brant-
ford.
After circling the field several
times the rnotorless craft came in
for a perfect landing. Of course,
when take-off time came he had
to have the help of his tow-plane,
in this case a Moth biplane.
The take-off procedure, as the
rest of the visitors began to leave,
was truly fascinating. Each of the
300-odd craft trundled down. the
grass beside the, runway to the
starting point, and then one by
On e made their runs along the con-
crete and took to the air.
These folks who have taken up
flying really enjoy their hobby, and
we found them a grand hunch to
meet. "Ply-ins" as these gather-
ings are called, are held at frequent
intervals durin g the fine weather,
and it was very evident that they
are popular.

MILES FOR BREAKFAST
by Barry Wenger -
Airplanes are no longer a ,nov- s. nov-
elty--.at least when you see them
passing overhead. But when you
see three hundred aircraft, of all
kinds and sizes, and all gathered
in one place, flyin g assumes new
proportions to the uninitiated.
Last week the results of promo-
tions in both pnblic and high schools
appeared in The Advance-Times.
The names of all those who were
promoted from one gnade to the next
were printed in full. No mention was
made of those who failed to pass.
The reports, incidentally, were repro-
duced exactly as they were received
from the two schools.
In a society which has grown as
keenly competitive as ours there is
serious room for doubt that the kind-
ly attitude which overlooks or ig-
nores failure is, in troth, any kind-
ness at all. Living, as we do, in an
affluent age, where all the luxuries
we enjoy are taken completely for
granted, we who are parents or
teachers or school board members ..
or perhaps even ministers of educa-
tion, have a sort of unthinking faith
that things will always be just as
good as they are now. Of all false
conclusions this is, perhaps, the most
ridiculous, for it is the one arrived at
by we of the older generation, the
veterans of the Great Depression .
the very people who know that life is
not necessarily a bowl of cherries—
who can so vividly recall the differ-
ence between the 28th of June and
the 1st of September. 1929.
Sure, we all hope that those grim
years will never be repeated. In fact
our hope is so strong that we have
unconsciously transmitted our panic-
stricken denial of reality to a whole
generation of innocent youngsters.
We have agreed that they should not
know there is such a thing as com-
petition. We let them graduate from
school in the rosy belief that every
boy and every girl stands on precise-
ly the same level as far as job oppor-
tunities are concerned. We just can't
bear to have them realize that the fel-
low who is regularly running near
the foot of the class may have a lot
less butter on his bread 20 years from
now,
This year, for the first time in the
last 15, we' have talked to a lot of
youngsters who are gravely concern-
ed about their own future. Their par-
ents haven't had the courage to tell
them, but these young people, all by
themselves, have smartened up to the
fact that the downy days are done.
They have enough intelligence to
know that from here on they will
have to show they have what it takes
or they will be left out. They feel just
the way you and I did in 1932 but
MORE OF THE SAME
Ai-e',re on the . subject of
children and the schools they attend,
it might he a good time to refer to
the military aspects of modern edu-
cation. Here (though many parents
may argue) we have one of the finer
by-products of academic life. Last
week some of the boys from the
Western Ontario High Schools left
for London, as members of the Cadet
Corps, and will shortly go on to
Banff for advanced training.
Though ours is anything but a
militaristic state, we do know that
the high school students who are for-
tunate enough to receive this advan-
ced cadet instruction will return to
their homes in August much wiser
for the time they have spent.
Perhaps the most important as-
pect of this training is that it comes
early in life, before it can interfere
with the learning of those skills
which will provide the hobs with the
means of earning their livelihood.
Later on, as they pursue their studies
or begin to master trades, the mental
and physical discipline of military
training will assert itself and prove
immensely valuable in the building of
character and the moulding of prat-
tiaal

they haven't got cease-hardened real-
ists behind them to give them fair
warning.
There will be no easy path for
these young people. They will have
to undergo the blood and sweat of
experience before they know- any real
sense of security, And when they do
emerge from the valley of the shadow
they will walk with a dignity which
has been denied a whole generation
of kids who were led to believe that
this life is just one big bottle of tran-
quilizers.
Despite all the social services we
can ever invent (much less pay for),
since this is a human society, the
smart guy will always be on top. Is
there any point whatever in trying to
pretend to our kids, whether they are
at the top or the bottom of the list,
that competition doesn't exist . It
isn't a fad; it's not a phase. It's one
of the facts of life,
REST TO DRIVE —
AND STAY ALIVE
Fatigue while driving is an insidi-
ous cause of highway accidents that
is no less formidable than excess
Speed or alcohol.
This is the informed opinion of
'\V. Arch Bryce, executive director of
the Canadian Highway Safety Coun-
cil, at a time when hundreds of
thousands of Canadians are prepar-
ing to embark on long motor trips
for their annual summer holidays.
There is only one basic remedy
for fatigue: rest. Careful drivers give
themselves good night's sleep be-
fore settins, out on a long drive the
next day. In addition, every hundred
miles or so,. they make brief stops to
take a little exercise, admire the
scenery and enjoy a stimulating cup
of coffee at a. nearby restaurant.
These sensible measures help to keep
the driver fresh ,and alert.
Stressing the theme of the nation-
al campaign for highway safety
"Slow Down and Live", Mr. Bryce
urged motorists never to exceed the
speed limits prescribed by law and to
always keep their car under control
according- to weather conditions, visi-
bility:, road conditions and traffic
density.
And here are some other safety
tips which they should keep in mind
on their summer trips :
Keep your car in top mechanical
condition.' Steering gear, brakes and
lights are especially important.
Watch your tire pressure. Improper-
ly inflated tires plus summer-hot
roads can equal blowout disaster.
I.-eep your eye on the cars behind
and . in front of you. Anticipating
what the other fellow may do is an
essential of safe driving. keep your
distance—a ear's length for every ten
miles of speed.
Sta.y- alert at all times. On long
monotonous drives, stop every two
hours for a coffee-break (iced coffee
is just as effective as hot for sharpen-
infe your reflexes). Get out of the car,
walk around, relax for a few minutes.
Share the -wheel if you can. Don't
fight fatigue. Pull over to the side of
the road and take a rest. You'll lose
a few minutes . a but perhaps save
your life.
Know and obey all traffic regula-
lions, especially speed laws. Speed
.t00 fast for conditions is the most
common cause of fatal highway acci-
dents. Slow down and Eye!
MORE SMALL CARS
COMING
Product ion of current model
automobiles will cease in Canadian
plants about three weeks earlier than
last year, writes Ralph Young in The
Financial Post. Buyers can look for:
Earlier public introduction of 1962
models, same due the latter part of
September. Still further "dilution" of
the automobile market by intraduc•
tin of additional sizes of smaller
cars, more confusion for customers
already bewildered by a multiplicity
of sues and models. No very drastic
changes from 1961 models currently
on the market. A possible shortage of
some 1961 cars before new models
appear in the showrooms.
