; ONE MOMENT PLEA SEI REV. J. HAROLD ANDERSON
Belgrave, Ontario
-wHArs IOLLTIsTII
Benjamin Franklin Once said:
"Do you love life? Then do not
squander time, for that is the stuff
life is made of,"
Modern folk are taught to be-
lieve they have plenty of time. In
fart, the problem of leisure time is
going to be one of the most diffi,
ctalt to solve. It used to he a sign
of good workmanship to be able to
do a job well and quiekly; but to.
day it is doubtful whether either
of these is any measure of skill or
effiviency. Moreover, it pays bet-
ter just to "put in time".
Bat there is a moral side to the
issue. How we spend our time,
'the stuff life is made of', still .de-
terminee the 'dud of person we are,
or may become.
A certain professor walked
through the dormitory of his col-
lege, passing the open -door of a
room, There he saw a group of
youths lounging around a table,
playing cards for small stakes. The
air was blue with smoke, and the
sound of bad language, Two hours
later he returned the same way.
They 'were still at it. He thought.
of their privileges-the gym for
the development of their bodies;
the intrary for reading and study;
the glory of a fine, bright, bracing
winter day outside; the opportun-
ities for intellectual improvement,
being paid for by parents who were
nosy earning a living "the bard
way" that their sons might gain a
good education. But time meant
nothing to them They were sat-
isfied to despise their opportnnitlea,
and abuse their freedom.
Herbert Speneer liked to play a
game of billiards, lIe was usually
beaten. But he once suggested
that "exeesSive skill at this game
was evidenee'ef a mis-spent youth."
This is not altogether untrue, es-
pecially when one considers the
usual environment and surround-
ings for learning the game. Fre-
quently these are not the most
commendable. But we must re--
member that the youth are not the
only ones wasting their time and
money; nor the pool rooms the
only places where it appears to he
done. We hardly need to open out'
eyes to see men (some of them,
doubtless on unemployment insu r-
ance), showing a bad example.
It's convenient lo exclaim, "0,
just killing time," This may
seem to be a modern necessity. But
is it? We .nlight more wisely con-
sider whether or not time is killing

People keep asking me how I
like teaching. I find it difficult to
give a direct answer. There 'are
some things about it that I don't
like at all, and some that I like
very much. It's difficult to he neu.
Lral.
Some teachers are. They go
through the motions, neither liking
nor disliking their work, but treat-
ing it as a job which produces a
fairly - good living, They would be
just as happy selling beer, or put-
ting round pegs in :round holes.
Fortunately they are few.
Teachers are like farmers. The
poor ones do a mediocre job of
working with what they have, re-
fuse to learn new methods, let their
implements grow rusty, complain
steadily of the hard work, and
avoid it whenever possible.
0 - 0 - 0
The good ones make the best of
all they have, keep -in touch with
new methods, keep their brains or
machinery in good condition„, face
reverses with fortitude, put a great
deal of themselves into their work,
and look forward to the new term
or season with a high heart and
great expectations.
I'm not trying to imply that good•
farmers and good teachers are osic-
dicated, dull people, who confront
adversity with a sweet, Christian
smile. Many a good farmer will
make the air crackle with Olym-
plan wrath when the weather ruins
his crops, And many a good teach-
er will do exactly the same when
his seedlings are touched by the
frost of apathy or the locusts of
laziness.
But the good ones gird up their
loins, spit on their hands, and go
hack at secure in the knowledge.
that 'one of these days the crop
be a good one, whetter it's grain or
brain they're developing.
This faith is essential to both.
It is really a sort of inner tough,
ness, and without it the farmer or
the.teacher' is licked, The farmer,
who doesn't have it sells out and
goes to 'work for somebody else.
The teacher who doesn't have It has
a fair chance of. becoming a men-
tal ease.
0, - 0 -
Here's where the farmer has an
edge, perhaps, over the teacher,
He's not sa apt to go goofy. When
he wants to release his tension or
provide an outlet for his frustra.
Lion, he can always give his prize
bull a boot in the behind. In this
enlightened age, the teacher is re-
stricted from doing .this with his
prize pupil, and must content him
self with a glare, a pointing fin-
ger, and a voice quivering with con-
trolled rage.
The most successful farmers are
not necessarily those who stick to
the_ approved, tried-and-true meth-
od. Some of them are gamblers.
Others are innovators who will try
anything that makes sense. They
have their failures, but they bounce
hack and enjoy their big years,
when the gamble pays off, the mar-
ket holds and the new method
works like a charm.
It's the same with teachers.
Those who stick by the book are
not necessarily the teachers who
kindle the desire for knowledge.
Often it; is the oddball, the erratic
.one With the unorthodox methods,
who makes the lasthig impression
on the pliable. young mind. lbey,
too, have their failures, hut they
also have their brilliant successes.
Both farmer and teacher must
have one thing. They must be able
to make things grow. They must
he adept at planting the seed, care-
ful to nursing its -growth, and able
to judge when At isgeedy to be har-
vested.

Another thing each must have
is an affection and reimeet for the
living things with which he works.

By the end of this year Wingbani
may find itself a town without a
mayor. Such a situation is not a
probability, but it is a very definite
possibility. The present incumbent,
R. McKinney, has publicly stated
his intention to withdraw front the
field of municipal politics - and so
far there are no takers for his post
tion. None of the present council
members want the job „ . so by de--
fault it might .easity fall into the
hands of someone without ,the neces-
sary experience----or could simply re
main unfilled.
With these -thoughts in mind it
was interesting to hear a group of
our townsmen talking over the
future prospects for the Town of
NATingham. The consensus of opinion
was. that a man who does not own
property cannot be elected to public
office. This, of course, is not true,
The line which separates the proper
ty owner from the tenant applies.
only in very rare cases, the most not
able of Which is balloting on money

We were surprised to find so
many persons wrongly informed
.about the rights of a very large seg-
ment of our population, and for dd.,.
reason we print below a few excerpts
from The Municipal Act :
Section 34-----
(1.) 1,'Yery person is qualified to
be elected au:ten-11)er of the council of
a local municipality who,.
(a) is a householder residing in
the municipality, or is rated on the
last revised assessment roll of the
municipality for the land held in his
own right for an amount sufficient-
to entitle him to be. entered on the
voters' list and resides in or within
five miles of the municipality or is
the wife of a householder and who
resides in or within I've miles of the
municipality;
(h) is on the last revised voters'
-list as qualified to vote at .municipal
elections;
(c) is a British subject and has
taken the oath of allegiance;
(d) is the 'full 'age of twenty-one
.years ; and.
(e) is not disqualified under. this
or any, other Act.
(2) The rating for a.od shall he
in respect of a freehold or leasehold.
legal or equitable, or partly of each,
(3) "householder'? shall mean the
per-son who occupies and is assessed
as• owner or tenant: of a &Veiling or
apartment house - or part of a dwel-
ling or apartment house, separately
occupied as a dwelling.
(4) This section deals with the
rights. of .those citizens in recentl -v
annexed- areas and so does not apply
in ViTingharil.
- (5) This section deals with those
who formerly resided in unorganized
territories which have recently heen
organized into townships and so does
not apply here.
SECTION 35--
(1) The following are not eligible
to be elected. a member of council or
entitled to sit or vote thereon :
(a) a judge of ,any court ;
(b) a jailer or keeper of a lock-
up;
(c) a, sheriff, deputy sheriff, or
sheriff's bailiff ;
(d) a chief constable of a city or
town;
(e) an ..assessment commissioner,
an assessor, a collector of taxes,. a

The above k no means a sum-
may of the entire Act, but we feel
that it roes set out very clearly the
rights of the tenant to seek and hold
public office. We have no way of As-
certaining how many responsible
persons in this community own or
rent their homes--but it is our
pose to point out here and now that
the law does not differentiate be-
tween them in their responsibility to.
their own community.
must have an abiding love for the
growing things, animal or veget-
able. And the teacher must have
affection and respect for the young
animals and vegetables he is rais-
ing. Don't think there Aren't both
in the classroom. Some of those
kids would 'grow to _ prodigious:
heights if watered daily).
The more I Think of it, the more
I wonder why :I didn't go'into farm:
ing instead of teaching. the life
and the aims are practieally, the'
same. And in Binning you have
the big advantage that you're out
in the open all summer and not
cooped up in some cottage at some
earn old beach, or driving all over
the country in a stuffy old car.
Yessir, if I had my youth and
health and strength, and if I didn't
hate getting up early in the morn-
ing, and if I had about $100,000
cash, I'd make the switch in a min-
ute, even yet, and, leave . this emo-
tionally exhausting profession for
the rich, placid life on the land.
