Yet they had come to me that
they might arrange for their mar-
riagel Of course what they meant
was that they desired a very quiet
wedding, one without a "party" or
reception, This was unusual. The
"party" often seems to be all ire,
portant,
When Jesus attended the wee.,
ding at Cana in Galilee the supply
of wine gave out. In that land of
water scarcity and of their conse-
quent dependence upon wine it be-
came a serious situation and very
damaging to the prestige of the
host,
Jesus received the news quite'
casually. "Your concern, Mother, is
not mine." (John 2:4), Certainly
not! Her .anxiety was for the (Kira-
fort of the guests and the relief of
the embarrassed host. His concern
included these matters only .inci-
dentally.ale did provide help in the
change of water into wine but His
chief interest was in the marriage
covenant, That these young folk'
might know that the God who kept
covenant with Israel would be.
with them in the faithful working
out of their own 'covenant with
each other. That to Him was ell
important.
What of our modern weddings
Do we net stress "The Party" to .
the neglect of the eel/extant? One
can understand the bride's desire to
be "adorned for her husband," :but
the long list of guests, the many
attendants, the elaborate 'banquet,
the costly gifts are these not often
overdone? Well perhaps not as often
as the sounding of ear horns on
Saturday afternoons would Inca,
sate.
The late Dr, Halford Luceock
left us a paragraph in which he
points to our proneness to regard
very casually matters upon which
Jesus laid great emphasis. He
points out that there is no saving
force in casualness. The home and
the family face great dangers. The
spiritual values for which the
Christian Church stands are no
longer unquestioned --they fight for
life today. We must be more than
casual in our interest and support.
of the things that matter most, We
must be tremendously in earnest
and completely dedicated.
Jesus was more concerned for the
covenant than for the wedding
party.

Well, here I am back on the
treadmill of a summer course for
teachers. Nothing has changed
much since I was here before, last
year, when I began what may turn
out to be one of the most brief
and brilliant teaching careers err
record. Or may not.
The fellow with the big pneu-
matic drill starts at the same un-
holy hour, right below my window,
as last year. The list of rules in my
cubicle is the same as last year,
suggesting that residents are not
probihited from introducing hooch,
but stating flatly that deliveries of
beer will not be accepted at the
porter's lodge.
Most of the familiar faces are
back, bet a few are missing. It re-
minds me of the old days on the
squadron, when we'd conic back
from leave and find new faces in
the mess, and learn that Paddy told
jock and Dave and'roily bad "gone
missing."
It appears that Bud, a stout chap
who was in real estate, was shot
down in the wilds of Western Oh-
tario. George, a refugee from a big
electrical firm, didn't return from
a mission to Peterboro. Jim, a
former insurance salesman, crashed
on takeoff and is repeating the
course. Mrs. K., who thought teach-
ing would be better than keeping
house, had to be taken to an
txt
insti-
ettaimons. right after the Christmas

Mose of them completed their
first tour of operations, however.
'My old side-kick, Squire, degree
from Cambridge, and 10 years as
an aecountant, is right across the
hall. Young Pete, fresh out of in-
dustry, the good-looking kid who
must have those Grade XI girls in
a frenzy, has made the grade and
likes the trade.
Father 'O'Hooligan, the jolly
Jesuit from County Cork, is with us
again. Mrs. J., who was about
seven-months pregnant last sum-
neer,• has aecotriplished'her mission,
and is slim as a snake this year.
Old Jock, thick Scots accent and
Bohemian-newspaper world behind
him, has joined us. And young
Jeanie with the dark brown hair,
who doesn't look old enough to be
in Grade XII, let alone teach it, is
there to make us feel fatherly, as
well as look it.
The above is a typical cross-sec-
tion of the people who are taking
the course with me. They came
from all runs of life. Not walks. In
age, they are well above the aver-
age of the teacher entering the pro-
fession in normal times. That is,
before the war boom in. babies, who
are, here now, thank you, and all
set to be educated. Not to 'mention
the increase in teachers' salaties.

What do we study? Well, take
myself, for example. One of my
courses is Educational Psychology.
I presume that's all about psych-
ology and education.
But they have the danged lee-
tures at eight o'clock in the morn-
ing and I haven't been able to get
to one yet.
Then, there's the History and
Philosophy of Education, have
some pretty good notes on that
course from a fellow who took it
last year, so I don't have to go to
those.
Then, I take History and Geogra-
phy. The first day I had to write
my oclumn is the History period.
The second day, I had to go to the
veterans' hospital for my annual
cheat-up, arid missed it.
The next time, I got a little mixed
in the time-table and arrived at 2
p.m., to find the lecture just•end-
ing. But I made one this week, and
it's all about Greeks and stuff.
I also take English, but I taught
that last year, so I know every-
thing there is to know about it.
Participles and poems and meta-
phores and all like that. 'We take
Latin, too, but it's 22 years since I
studied Latin, and there doesn't
seem much point in going back
that far, for a little lousy Latin.
Then, there's Guidance, which is
all about talking to teeneagers and
getting them jobs and things. But I
have a teen-age kid of my own, so
I know all about that. I've been
talking to him and trying to get
him to mow the lawn all summer.
So there's .the, course in a. nut-
shell, But do you, know thp part of
the course like best of all? It's
when I get home, Friday evening.
And a. little brown girl says, "Hi,
Dad, smack, what kept you so late,
can I go swimming?" And a tong,
lean, brown kid I wouldn't recog-
nize, if it weren't for the fact that
he's wearing my best sport shirt,
says, "Hi, Dad, smuek, how'd you
like to take us to the drive-in?"
And a sophisticated, tanned doll,
who bears no relation to the crabby
old wife I had all winter, wraps
me up like an anaconda, and 'mur-
murs, eaVe missed you:" That's the
part of the course I like.

By MI Smiley timmii
ea,
It's in the book! The i2 page
book which the Provincial Govern-
ment has issued in an effort to ex-
plain the new sales tax reveals that
Queen's Park is putting a tax on
taxes
Here's how it works:
Sonic items, such as commercial
printing, are already subject to a fed-
eral sales tax of II percent. Now the
Provincial Government comes along
and announces that it will charge an
additional three percent.
But this additional three percent
will not be calculated on the basic
price BEFORE federal sales tax. It
will be charged on the price with
federal tax included,
Thus, not only is Queen's Park
putting a tax on a tax, but it is, in
effect, imposing a provincial sales
tax of MORE than three percent
(when you consider the basic price
of the product 'before federal tax).
• Is this playing fair with the con-
sumer? We submit that if the Gov-
ernment intends to charge this ad-
ditional three percent, it should
THE ILLUSION
•
Perhaps we should not be sur-
prised, but the idea is now well es-
tablished that a government hand-
out can fix any ill, real or imagined.
A current example is the suggestion
!that the government might pay a
r'maternal wage" to convince moth-
ers in Canada that it is a worthwhile
!Occupation to stay home and look
rafter the house and the children. This
proposal was made in all seriousness
to the annual meeting in Ottawa of
`'the Canadian Welfare Council by a
!•Montreal social worker; Jeanne
vice-president of the Con-
,federation des Syndicats Nationaux.
This "maternal wage," said -Miss
'Duval, would be fully justified "if
'we believe that the education of the
child is of first importance for the
• 'nation, and that the mother is ir-
replaceable in carrying out this
task." More than 40 percept of the
;effective feminine working force in
'Canada, said Miss Duval, is made
up of married women and there is
reason to believe that the percent-
age will increase. The wife of 1961,.
she said, is not much interested in
domestic work; "Her ignorance
• often leads her to underestimate
these humble tasks and she refuses
to make the necessary effort to be-
come a good housewife," The "ideal
solution" Miss Duval concluded,
might be a government allowance
proportionate to the number of
children in the family. •
This is Auite, an in,dictment of
Canadian. Ne 9111p „ one , th at surely
would not stand, up to investiga-
tion. But ap.art from the queStion of
whether many or most working mo-
thers neglect their children there are
the two questions of whether it is
proper to suggest that the state
should or could bribe people into
accepting their responsibilities, and
whether it is reasonable to assume
that the state has the money to 'take
on still another whopping welfare
allowance.
By Miss Duval's reckoning about
600,000 of Canada's working women
are married. If only half of these are
mothers of young children the total
would he 300,000, and if a govern-
ment allowance is to keep them at
home it would have to equal the $30
or $40 or $50 a week they make at a
paying job, So the proposal probably
involves something like a half a
lion dollars a year. The easy assum-
ption that the government would
have no trouble finding that much
additional money, or that govern-
ment should pay a cash allowance to
ensure that children are properly
reared is indication of the growth of
the illusion that the people can shift
any redpOndiblity at all to the state.

In the, course of a week, we have.
an opportunity to chat with many
businessmen around the district, and
in the past week or so we have
noticed increasing complaints about
the impending three percent tax and
the headaches which will come with
it,
It is the general feeling that the
amount which the Government in-
tends to pay retailers for collecting
the tax will not cover the retailers'
expenses. Also many feel that the
vast army of new Government em-
ployees needled to police the tax will
take too large a bite out of the
revenue produced.
As said earlier, it would have been
smarter for the Provincial Govern-
ment to make a deal with Ottawa.
Ali amount equal to the potential
sales tax revenue could be added onto
income tax, collected by Ottawa and
handed over to Ontario.
By using existing tax machinery,,
this would be a much less costly
method, There are still many, of
• course, who feel that this additional
tax is unnecessary and that the
Government could avoid it by cut-
ting down on wasteful spending,—

SOFT HEADS AND
MUSCLES
A New York physical education
veteran told a big gathering the
other day that our youth is not get-
ting soft, but he laid in to their
elders.
The same group heard Dr. Geo.
Plower, of the Ontario Board 'of
Education, declare quite emphatic-
ally "We cannot operate hard
schools in a soft society . . . we are
soft, smug and flabby, guilty of soft
thinking, and this is reflected in our
schools."
Whether these two men, who
were addressing the Canadian As-
sociation for Health, Physical Edu-
cation and Recreation at McMaster,
Were banging at a society that is do-
ing too much soft thinking about
hardness and not enough- hard think-
ing about softness can be left to
specialists. We lean certainly to Dr.
Flower's attitude and in his own.
way, Dr. Nash, the New Yorker, who
questioned modern youth's softness,
stressed there are still great flaws
in our approach to recreation.
To be any benefit, exercise must
be interesting," he said, and pointed
out that a walk in the woods is as
healthy as a weight-lifting session.
"In the final analysis, true re-
Creation is achieved by doing some-
thing creatively; that is why our
emphasis on purely spectator sports
is wrong; we are entertained by a
'football match, but our health is not
improved."—Spectator.
THE PERFECT HOSPITAL
VISITOR
The perfect hospital visitor tram-
peth not on hard heels ; neither does
he shout. He walketh softly and
speaketh quietly, for ill people ,are
easily disturbed.
The perfect visitor goeth home
soon. He (or is it more often she?)
might like to chat all afternoon, but
is considerate of the weary patient—
particularly in hot weather.
•The perfect visitor talketh of the
pleasant things in life; he. smileth
often and his demeanor is cheerful.
Though at heart he may be a pessi-
mist, he knows that the patient has
his own more imminent troubles.
The perfect visitor knoweth what
a chair is for—he sits on it, He
perches not upon the bed jouticino-
the aching head or obstructing thZ
restless foot.
The perfect visitor beareth with.
him no cold in the head. Though he
may consider a sneeze or a cough
as nothing, he infricteth not his
germs upon the helpless patient,
The perfect visitor thinketh about
gifts. If he bringeth flowers, he set-
ects those of a delicate fragrance or
a plant, which lasts longer. He con-
siders carefully the appropriateness
of fruit or candy for those with
troubled stomachs, rrom "Hos-
