AS IT WAS
ON THE TENTH
We noticed In one of the tcwa
papers where a meeting of the
Ladlea' Md had been held in one of
the chinches and it was clecitleit to
have a strawberry festival. It said
"Committees were named to Pur-
chase berries and cream and the
ladies will provide the cakes."
On the Tenth Concession the -re
used to be an organization known
as the Willing Workers and they
functioned in the church it the
corner of the Tenth and the Ilrek-
en Front Road. When they had a
strawberry festival there no tc.,
ward the end of June or early in
July the people provided everything
and it was also a time when the
church yard, had to be cleaned up
quite a good deal.
It would be announced from the
pulpit that the Willing Wcrkwe
would hold a meeting on such and
Buil a date :for the purpose el'
masking arrangements fir the annual
strawberry 'festival. The uwtt
always stirred uneasily at the time
of that announcement and leaked

the season they could see hay ris-

There was room at the back of

The Community Spirit
It is not good, for any man to get
the notion that be has done too
much for his town and community
The man does not live who can do
as much for his community as it nos
done for him. Too many of OS are
thin-skinned anti ready to take ef-
fence and retire in our shell be-
cause we heard a chase rema.k. be-
littling out abilities, when this
happiness' we may think that our ef-
forts are unappreciated at times.
And maybe they are, At the same
time the individual should remem-
ber that Whatever success' he leas
had been dependent upon the com-
munity, and its people in ora way
or another --unci he should not for-
get that colleolvlely the people have
0151•eeiaLed his work even though
there is a minority that dies not
iew his efforts with favor. During
our Mistime we have known cases
of where a man lost his head ofser
being elected to a municipal 00 :y.
In other words he became high -
hatted," as the saying goes. This
sort of thing doesn't "go down"
with the people for it does' not take
long for them to "get wise" r.1 this
type of iniividual.
