What would you do if you had
all the money you wanted? What
would pain do if you had a million
dollars?
You would, no doubt, pay off all
your debt---if you have any, look
after all your good friends, send
a big cheque to the Community
Welfare Fund, give to your favor-
ite charity, help your church. You
would really live. You would •
but what's the use of going on?
Your are not likely to get it if
you try—even if you die trying—
as so many people do.
Suppose you buy a ticket on a
sweepstake and you lose, you are
last out so much money. That's
one thing.
But suppose you put up your life
on one vast bet - as a great many
people do, betting on worldly see,
cess and power. Hoping that God
does not exist or that He is bluff-
ing when He says, "Ye cannot
serve God and Mammon." Sup-
pose you bet your whole life and
win the jackpot you are after,
"What shall it profit a man if he
gain the whole world and lose his
own soul?". It is a strange thing
that many a man who could, quote
you the exact odds on a horse race
cannot calculate the odds against
his being right about the real val-
ues of life and God being wrong.
Do you remember the story Our
Lord told about a man like that?
He had such a, wonderful crop that
he didn't know where to store it.
And he said, "I will pull down my
barns and •build greeter . , And
I will say .to my soul, take thine
ease, eat ,drink and be merry."
But God said unto him, "Thou
fool, this night thy soul shall be
required of thee; then whose shall
those things be, which thou hast
provided? So is he that layeth
up treasure for himself and IS not
rich toward God."
You are not just a body, You are
also a soul.

Don't talk to me of England, now
that April's there, Don't maunder on
about Paris in the spring. Don't
babble about summer on the Riv-
iera or winter in the Swiss Alps.
Just double the length of that mel-
low Canadian September, and I'll
ask no more.
There's nothing in this world to'
beat our September, when it's a
good one. The country is a panora-
ma of green, and gold. The Bay
deepens its blue to an incredible
shade. The fairways are emerald
velvet.
Each day has an expectant still-
ness. Mother Nature sprawls in the,
yellow sun, tired, but content with
the latest fruits of her seasons.
The September air is as sweet and
clean' as the first kiss of a sixteen-
year-old. Each day is precious and
perfect,
The evenings are smoky and a
little sad, Night comes quickly and
there is a new excitement in it. The
moon sails high and calm, There is
a stirring in the blood. The air is
cool. The breath cif furnace and
fireplace are welcome.

In September, We eat like gods.
Huge, sun-ripened tomatoes, cold
and juicy. Sweet yellow corn,
slathered in butter. New potatoes,
boiled in their skins. Rosy peaches
in sugar 'and cream. Grapes burst-
ing with sweetness. Apples so crisp
they snap when you bite them,
City-dwellers have retreated once
again to their concrete canyons.
The small towns, where the tourist
reigned supreme in summer, have
regained their identity, renewed
their intimacy. Life, is more leisure-
ly, yet there is ,a bustle of living,
new and ancient, with each Sep-
tember's return. There is the color
and excitement of fall fairs and
track meets and football games.
There is the last lovely boat ride,
the last trout trip, the final game
of golf.
Yes, as far as I'm concerned,
September is the ultimate in every
respect. Except for one thing. It's
full of the same old people, -trying
to drive you up the wall. .,
Take my kids, for example, Ex-
cept that they're a foot taller than
they were a year ago, they're the
same old kids—demanding, expen-
sive, cheeky and lazy as coon dogs
when it comes to anything but en-
joying themselves.

Take my wife, as another for.
example. Every year, as summer
ends, she plans to "get organized,"
settle down, do some preserving,
get on a schedule, start baking
cookies, keep up with her ironing,
hang onto her temper, stop talking
so much, and provide a quiet, gra-
cious home, where everybody is
pleasant-spoken and well-manner-
ed.
And every September, she plunges
into some wild, new undertaking
that upsets the present shaky
system, precludes all possibility of
organizing a new schedule, and has
its all running. around in right-
angled triangles.
This year, she's up to her ears,
and ours, in a new job and a new
house. The job, of course, doesn't
affect us. Not much. She has taken
on the position of organist and
choirleader in the church. All this
means is that young Kim has been
press-ganged into the choir, young
Hugh has to serve as an altar-boy,
and old Dad has already been ap-
proached about teaching a Sunday
School class and taking up the col-
lection Sunday nights, when all the
other sidesmen went to stay home
arid watch Ed Sullivan. So we can
all kiss Sunday goodbye.

The new house has already caus-
ed a few ruckuses, and I can see a
good many more looming. There's
nothing wrong with the house, and
It sits on a fine, great whopper of
a lot, which I like. But therein lies
the fly in the ointment that's brew-
ing up a storm, the pable in the
shoe of the horse of a different
color,

Her 'idea is that I come home after
work, .rip off my good clothes,
chase a sputtering lawnmower for
an hour, gulp my dinner, lift all our
"shabby old• furniteire out of the
living room again so eve can try the
rug four inches to the south, then
sit around for two hours talking
about drapes and wallpaper.
Sometimes I almost wish I had
married a fat, simple little girl who
had never even taken a lesson on
the mouth organ, who believed that
interior decorating had something
to do with good cooking and who
realized that a woman's place was
in the house, not in her husband's
hair,
However, this little 'conflict be-
tween • idealism and realism has
been in progress for 15 years, and
neither of us has lost an inch of
ground.
So I managed to enjoy the lovely
month of September as much as
ever. Although I hope the leaves
start falling soon so I won't have
to mow the lawn. And then we'll
need an early snow so I won't have
to rake the leaves. And if we have
an early snow she'll be after me to
shovel the walk, all 300 yards of it.
Oh, dear ,there's no end to the work

New Authority Welcome. Developement.
The news that Wingham and the
surrounding townships will l.. a part
of the new Maitland River Valley
Conservation Authority is welcome
indeed. Though activities under the
,plan may not get under way for sev-
eral months, it is encouraging to
lcnow that definite arrangements
will .now be in the making for a real-
- istio program of conservation in this
area.
Driving home from Toronto the
other day we began to get a better
picture of the vast scope of the terri-
tziry to be administered under MV
CA.. The trip from Arthur to Wing-
ham takes the better part of an
hour's steady driving—yet portions
of Arthur Township are in the Mait-
land drainage system,
• Naturally some of the municipali-
ties involved will be a bit unhappy
about the results of the vote, notably
those places where it is felt that little
benefit will accrue. However, the
same attitude has often been taken
about levies for education, fire pro-
tection and military defence. It is a
matter which concerns not only all
of today's population, but even more
so, the generations of Canadians
Which are yet unborn. Conservation
is a program which requires some
imagination and forethought — and
unless individuals and municipalities
co-operate, it simply never is attend-
ed to,.
The formation of the full Mait-
land Authority fills in what was a
monster gap in the present pattern of
conservation programs in Western
Ontario. Although all the holes will
not he plugged by this latest move,
the Maitland program will take in
most of the section between the San-
geen and Sauble Authorities. It is
quite possible that before too long
the smaller watersheds, such as the
Bayfield River and the independent
streams flowing into ' Lake Huron
will be included with the existing
authorities.
We have been very fortunate in
this particular area. We have never
experienced the drastic shortages. of
'WHY GO IT ALONE?
One of the resolutions placed be-
fore the recent convention of the
Union Nationale Party in Quebec
asked that formal recognition he
given to that province's full right to
establish itself as an independent
state whenever it chose to .do so. An-
other clause contained in the resolu-
tion insisted that Quebec he per-
mitted to develop its own character-
istics without hindrance. .
There must be some very short-
sighted- people in Quebec. Why, at a
time when our world is shrinking at
a breath-taking pace, when every
newspaper is filled with the sad tales
of tragedy between peoples of differ-
ing races and creeds—would any sen-
sible French-Canadian want to widen
whatever gap there is between him-
self and his English-speaking coun-
trymen ?
Certainly the traditions and langu-
age and religion of Quebec are of
great value, and they should never be
lost to the Canadian heritage, but if.
French Canada is ever to achieve a
financial independence and a stand-
ard of living comparable with On-
tario and the rest of Canada, it will
not be achieved by separatism.
We are not the only ones who
think along the same lines. Many of
the French-speaking Canadians we
know in Monteal and other Quebec
centres feel exactly the same way.
They believe that the stubborn ad-
herence to individuality which has
marked the history of that province
so far,. has been largely responsible
for lack of opportunity in the larger
world of Canadian affairs.

But that is no guarantee that such
conditions will never prevail here. it

GREATER THAN ALL
This old world has seen some
great figures in its long history.
There have been magnificent Phar-
,aohs, iron-fisted Caesars, a Napoleon
Bonaparte — even ,an Adolf Hitler.
The great ones of the past have all
left ,their mark. Alexander spread
Greek culture to vast areas of Asia ;
Julius Caesar and the Roman Le-
gions established law and organized
rule throughout the known world —
but every one of them achieved his
place in history with the sword.
When the pages of our years are
finally penned, the name of a quiet
Swedish gentleman may well be
placed at the top of the page. Dag
Hammarskjold, who gave his life
last week in the performance of his
duties as secretary-general of the
United Nations, has established a
new and shining example of the form
truly great leaders can take. For
years he has exercised supreme pa-
tience in the face of threats and in-
sults — because he believed that the
achievement of lasting peace, among
the nations of the earth was much
more important than his own person-
al vanity.
What a tremendous truth he has
pointed out for all men ! One cannot
help but wonder how many wars
have been permitted to take place,
simply because the negotiators lost
their patience and stamped out of the
conference rooms. What a shocking
risk, that the millions of humans on
this earth are dependent for their
very existence upon the judgment
and patience of military and political
leaders whose biggest argument is
always the size of the armed forces
and the might of the weapons at
their disposal..
• Representatives of the East and
WeSt are meeting right at this time
in an attempt to 'settle the Berlin
issue. Failure to do so could easily
spell the termination of human ex-
istence as we know it. Let us hope
that the spirit of Dag Hammarskjold
may impress itself upon the minds
and hearts of the few — so very few
— men who hold our future in their
shaky hands.
UNDER-CAPITALIZATION
In hooks printed before the nine-
teenth century, says The Printed
Word, it was the custom to begin al-
most every noun with a capital letter.
The custom still holds .good in Ger-
man books but has lapsed in English,
Now the trend seems to be to the
opposite extreme. Certain advertis-
ing writers, probably under the in-
fluence of poet e.e. cummings, now
try to have their copy printed with-
out any capitals at all. One printing
company even. prints its narne in
lower case. The style makes the
printed page just as difficult to read
as the old-fashioned page was when
sprinkled with capitals. .
Perhaps there should be a conven-
tion of English-speaking nations to
establish a standard usage. It is gen-
erally recognized that a capital letter
should he used at the beginning of a
sentence or a proper name. Beyond
that,. all is confusion. One Canadian
newspaper always marks down the
word company even when: it is part
of a firm's name — making it the
Universal Gadget co where other
papers would print The Universal
Gadget Co. Some capitalize titles,
such as president or The where-
.ever these. appear, The New York
Times style book seems to have a
sensible rule for this case. It capital-
izes a title when. it precedes. a .name,
but uses small letter when the title
follows. Thus it would write Presi-
dent John Doe of the Universal.
Gadget Co., but John Doe, president
of the company.
