Thi is something deeply coin -
forting to the human soul in fire.
Whether it's a log in the fireplace,
chuckling cheerily or burning with
a slow, dreain-making flame, a bon-
fire on the beach throwing its
challenge into the night, or just
the gleam and warmth from the
kitchen stover fire soothes and
renews the spirit.

4'm writing this column by the
tiniest flame of all, a candtt.
There's been a hydro break and the
lights have been out for hours.
With the warm, yellow glow of
my 5andle beside me, I don't care
if they never come' on again. At
the moment, and in my present
mood, I would not trade this one
candle for all the lights on Broad-
way, all the power that pours over
the falls at Niagara, and a light
bulb personally autographed by
Thos. Edison.
It's a brave, little, red candle,
left over from Christmas. Only
about three inches of it are left,
and in a couple of hours it will be
just a burned -out candle, than
which there is nothing more dead.
But right now, it ibr'ugs me com-
fort, companionship and memories.
Its flame brings back the nights
of wondrous cosiness, as a child,
at the cottage. Snuggled in bed
with my young brother, 1'd watch
the .flames from the fireplace flick
terrifying shadows across the bare
rafters. But there was no real
terror in the weird, leaping figures.
Qn the other side of the partition,
my parents talked in low, peaceful
voices of people half -bemused by

The
coal -oil
p T e lamps
cast a sturdy orange glow that
chased the jumping shadows. The
whip -poor -will on the hill behind
the cottage called ' �'h,iis cheerful
goodnight. Apd T'rarifted Into
sleep with a sense of security I've
never had since.

The candle flame reminds One of
the first time I fell in love. It
was at a huge bonfire. I was eleven.
After the marshmallows and the
sing -song and the horsing around,
we gradually grew silent, watch lug
the deep red oft, the hottest inside
of the fire, as it burned lower.
This freckle -faced girl with the
brown eyes and the white teeth and
the golden arms was sitting beside
me. She got a bit dopey, leaned
against my shoulder, and fell
asleep.
I didn't move, just sat there
being madly in love. Next day, I
proposed to her, believing it was
mutual. She gave me a bloody
nose, and I was off women for
years.
Mb candle flame brings other
memories. Prison camp in Ger-
many, December, 1944. The wind
howls out of the Baltic. There

A big, thick steak? No. They're
all listening intently to that "drip,
drip, drip" emanating from the
home-made still hooked up to the
stove, and wondering if the potato
whiskey it's producing will be fit
to drink in time for the New
Year's party.
Yes, fire is truly a wonderful
blessing. Under its soothYig light
and warmth, even the chattering
of women's tongues will desist.

We have come a long way from
the days when our primitive an-

a cave, dimly wondering what was
going on in the world.

We don't wear skins any more.
We wear pedal pushers, strapless
bra's and Bermuda shorts. We
don't kill people with a club or
stone these days. We can wipe
them out much more efficiently in
hundreds of thousands, at one
stroke. We don't tear the liver
out of a newly -killed animal and
eat it hot and raw and juicy. We
get it cold and raw, warm. it, and
eat it dry and gristly, with onions.

Back From Trip To Within
50 Miles Of Arctic Circle
A Goderich family is back home
after a 14,000 mile trip an which
they visited Alaska and went as
far north as the road would take
them which was within about 50
miles of the Arctic Circle.'
Among places visited was. Daw
son City, famed mining city of
early days, There, they visited the
cabin in which there once lived
-the northeiai poet, Robert Service,
one of whose works was "The
Cremation of Sam Magee." They
found that 37 tourists had been
there before them thal season to
sign the register to be found in
the cabin. The tourists make much
of it but the natives ignore it.
Copies of the poet's various poems
are posted on the walls of the
cabin.
The Goderich family was inade
up of Mr. aid Mrs. Earl Raithby
and daughter, Marie, accompanied
by Miss Phyllis Barber, 'of Strat-
ford. The Raithbys visited , with
their son, Sgt. William Raithby,
Mrs. Raithby and family at White
horse, Yukon Territory, where Sgt.
Raithby is on the medical staff of
a Canadian Army hospital there.
Sgt. Raithby and his wife and fam-
ily joined the -Ontario visitors to
make a complete party of nine.
Other places visited were Fair-
bFirka, .Anchorage, Seward and
Valdez.
They found it strange in "The
Land of the Midnight; Sun". where
it never gets dark during the
summer time. Along the Alaska
Highway, they stopped off here and
there to pan geld, as most of the
tourists do, and Managed to col-
lect a bit of gold dust.
Return"ng by Whitehorse, they
visited the Canadian National
parks, then into Southern British
Columbiaand on to Vancouver:
From there, they went via United
Stater to Yellowstone Park and r►i
to Chicago. Next stop was Tor-
onto and the Canadinn National
l+,x'bibitinn. Miss Marie ; Raithby
Stopped off at Toronto where she
has been engaged as a. teacher for
the coming academic year.
During their long trip the Raith-
bys wore out pie complete set of
tires but feel it was well worth
it to witness the many interesting
things to be seen over the route
which they took.
