PROGRESSIVE MOVE BY RAILWAY
light equipment.
It may. take some time for resi-
dents of this locality to realize that
the CN's move is one which should
receive universal encouragement and
support. During the past ten years
the passenger payload on CN lines
in Western Ontario has dropped so
low that it:was increasingly obvious
it was a losing proposition. How-
ever, , municipal leaders and , local
newspapers have urged the railway
to undertake a program of modern-
ization rather than retreat under
pressure.
With the new equipment the CN
opens its schedule with a train which
will leave Wingham at a reasonablA
hour in the morning and deliver pas-
sengers in Toronto by 10.10 a.m.

N E ED CONTINUES
Last week the local branch of the
Canadian • Cancer Society was - re-
organized, and the, meeting serves as
a reminder of the great task whiCh
still lies before Canadians in this re-
gard.'
It is quite true that we are beset
today by hosts of societies and
money-raising organizations for al-
most every conceivable cauSe. 'And
-be it said to our eternal credit, we
are fairly generous with all these de-
mands.-
The c.attipaign to .conquer cancer,
however, falls into a somewhat. dif-
ferent category. It. Is a nitich more
personal effort than most of the
others. There is : good reason for
its highly pre-eminent position . . .
because we are, every one of us, in
constant danger frOm this malady.
Tuberculosis, diphtheria, small-
pox — most of the great killers of
mankind have been conquered, or at
least controlled. But not cancer. Al-
though Much more is known about
the disease than was known ten or
even five years ago, it still masters
all too many of our friend's and rela-
tives,
In fact:, it is this ever-existing
danger which makes the work of the
,Cancer Society so much more diffi-
cult. It occupies a place of such mag-
nitude on our subconscious minds
that we are all inclined to classify
it along with earthquakes and Rus-
sian invasions. We tend to thrust
our heads into the sand.
Those who are realistic enough
to meet the enemy half way by ac-
tive participation in the work of the
Cancer Society are more hopeful
than ever before that this disease
will be in the same category as
polio —dangerous but controllable.
The !pillions of dollars and hundreds
of millions of hours of scientific
study which have gone in'to the
effort to know and master the cancer
scourge will bear fruit in our time
perhaps in the very near future.
That glad day can be brought very
much closer with your help and en-
couragement.

hate at about 9,30.
Admittedly, the family ear, which
PrOvides the railway='s greatest corn-
Petition, can make the trip more
quickly, but we feel that many busi-
ness men will recognize the attrac-
tion of a trip on which they can read
or test as opposed to the ne•rve-
wracking task of driving to and
frotn the city. In addition, the sche-
dules mentioned above are those set
for the opening of the service .and
railway officials privately hope to
better them as crews become famil-
iar with the -ea-p-alillities
diesel-powered cars.
'Although has never been office
lay stated, there is no doubt that
.the.delay, in putting this new equip-
Ment into . service has been due, in
sortie part, to the opposition of the
railway unions, We can recall a
Meeting in. Wingham four years ago
when railwaymen were flatly op-
posed, . to the introduction of any
type of cars which would he handled
by smaller crews Perhaps they have
now seen the wisdom of agreeing to
smaller crews in place of no pass-
enger trains for crews of any kind.
It is to be hoped 'that the railway
will be patient in its experiment, for
we feel that the new era of rail travel
is just opening. As our big cities
grow bigger it will be increasingly
important to be able to reach the
centres of trade by some means other
than• privately-operated motor cars.
As, the congestion in Toronto in-
Crease, so should the passenger traf-
fic on the CN
Since it is fairly evident-that we
, in Western Ontario will want this
type of service -in years to come, it
behooves us' to use it when it is

ed ill our modern world.
SPRING GVPSTERS
(Clinton News-Record)
Spring came officially on Satin--
„ day. With the good weather a
strange breedOf Men and Women
will be abroad they, are , already
Showing-themselves at the doors of
households in nearby towns, possibly
even here.
These are the people who believe
the old saying, "There's a sucker
born every Minute,” and enjoy going
about the country proving the truth
of it.
One style of salestalk they have
is that they can sell you something
cheaper than you can get it any=
where else. Then, when you take
them up on the offer',;, they either
leave a shoddy piece of merchandise'
with you, or they go into the second
part of their spiel," which runs down
the first product, and substitutes
more expensive one. Too many
people seem to think that because
they approved purchase of the cheap-
er model, they are honor-bound to
pay for the more expensive item,
The other style of. salestalk 7.8 the
one that suggests some sponsorship
by the government. The men gen-
erally say they are government in-
spectors, and go on to inspect
chimney or a roof. Then they de-
cide it needs repair, and they say it
has , to be done at once, They ex-
tract cheque or cash from. their
victim, do a poor job of repair (if
they do anything at all) and then
vanish.
tither of this type of "salesman"
.or "inspector" is dishonest.
Don't you be a sucker I
Deal with the people you know,
Buy from the merchants established
in business. If anything goes wrong
with the job' after it is done, you will

In 1.313 Willlaln. Callen. Bryant, then a youth of 19, wrote a poem
a famous portion of winch bean,

which he ,exItorted people upon the

The passage still haunted .0tir
school readers When I was a lad
and T recall that it left Me sold,
.depressed, Why should X or any
healthy growing boy or .girl be

To this day I wonder, how a
youth still in his .teens could have

They are living still in Saturday,

Old "Empty",as we used is call
him, had a bad time of it in the
war. He was utterly fearless. He
would fly through flak as casually
as though lie was strolling to the
pub. He was less afraid of Ger-
Man fighters: than be was of his
Tricycle, which he coalii never •quite

Te was a flight-lieutenant when
Igiew him, and a good one. Quiet,

he was a horn leader. He'd 'have
risen' to high rank in the service
had it not been for two things, his
name and a quick temper, . *
He could take any arnettnt of
razzing, as long as it had nothing
to do with his name. But every
so often some wit, who didn't knew
the background, would be introduc-
ed to him, and inspired by a few
drinks, would suggest that he
change his name from M., T. Rack-
house to Urioecupled Closet or
Something of the sort.
* *
The sequel never varied. The
stranger would wind up on his
back, with a Let lip, 'and Empty
would wind up with a couple of
types holding his arms, while he
stuttered: "rd rather he a Back-
houSe than a bi-- basket". Only
he didn't say basket. Next day,
he'd be on the mat, get a rocket
from the CO,, and have another
black mark against his promotion.

Times what: we have caught
from this resitrrection experience
of Christianity--an instinct for
pelmonenee, It assures us that man.
is worth something '.1n God's sight
and in the workings of; this uni-
verse, This may nem too daring,
for some of ray to believe but we
cannot surrender' it as of no con-
sequence,.
In the instinct for permanence
lies the sense of our worth, Then.
We live as thotigh we never die,
We leave behind us the moods of
that terrible Saturday,
this: "Mr, Deckhouse, 50, has been
engaged hi . . " I looked. again.
Yes, 4t was 50,. Mtist be a Ope-
graphical error... Old Empty was,
in tine Second. World War, not; time
First. Couldn't be a day over 10.

Slowly it seeped In. By George,
old Empty WAS quite a bit older
than the rest of tis. But he couldn't;
be 50. Wait a minute now. A
little simple arith`metie. That was
in '93. This is '59, That's . . . uh
• . holy smokes, in years ago.
He was only 34 then. And he seem-
ed so old. Ws true, then,
The line, of thought didn't flow
in smooth/v. It came, in short,
chilling bursts. If Empty is 50,
he's middle-aged. Eleven years
from this dime I'll be 50. Young
