S. ATKEY, Editor A. L. COLQUHOUN, Plant Manager • Clinton Old Home Week; Saturday -'Wednesday, August 5 - 9, 1950 • THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1950 The Road To National 'Unity NEVER IN CANADIAN HISTORY has the time been more opportune or thee conditions more favorable for a revival of the perennial theme of National Unity, It is probable that this question, over long years, has, been given more anxious thought among earnest Canad- ian editors than any other national problem. Today, we have arrived at a point in national stature, which leads, directly into a wide open road to fullest National Unity, It is hoped that the press generally will seize this op- portunity to stimulate' a new and all -embrac- ing; national sentiment that will result in. complete national cohesion at this fateful per- iod in international affairs. Two' main things have fanned the flames of national disunity in the past: one the con- scription issue; the other, regional economic disparity due to our geographic situation. Both have' been seized upon by politicians to serve their ends and with very regrettable results. We are of the opinion that from this point forward the conscription problem is a dead issue. Now that Canada is looked upon as a focal point in any, future war, those who formerly fought conscription likely will be in the forefront to take up arms in the national defence. Thus one great former field of controversy, which has been disruptive of National Unity, falls by the wayside. As to regional disputes, which often have taken the form of threats of secession and annexation, these too are yielding to enlight- THE MAIL BOXES of ale members of Nottawasaga Township Junior Farmers' Club, Simcoe County, are to be painted maroon and white, with the name of the farm owner in good legible letters. That should be a good colour combination. Bert Smith, editor of The Creemore Stir, comments: "We have, on several occasions, directed would-be purchasers of live stock to certain farms. We afterwards have learned they couldn't find the place. We are quite sure cuing governmental measures which more and more ameliorate former inequalities. There's a lot more to be thought out and fought out on these lines but in the mean- - time, no matter what circumstances arise, these ;re good grounds to believe that present trends can head off regional quarrels which foster national disunity. Let's keep the road wide open! But beyond all this is the larger picture. Today, we have attained- a new national station. With the right to deal wholly with our constitution; the right of final appeal wholly within our own courts with a final- - ized status of Canadian citizenship and the right to determine the character of our own national flag, can anyone dispute that we are at last on the highroad among the important nations of the world? The path' to real National Unity widens .as we contemplate this new and larger picture, So the time now is ripe for a new and inspiring campaign to achieve the fullest National Unity. Since - the weekly press 'of Canada reaches right to the grass-roots of national sentiment and opinion, it would be' a fine thing for the great campaign to begin under its auspices. It therefore is desirable that editors from every province in Canada deal informatively and frankly with the var- ious aspects of National Unity to enlighten their readers by an exchense of views on this important subiect. The road is wide open; let'sget onwith the job! Painting Mail Boxes it would be a financial benefit to farmers to have the owner's name prominently placed at the front entrance as well as on the mail box. "It also would be greatly appreciated by us who live in the towns and villages and occasionally drive along the rural roads. We like to know where people live. We often have admired a farm home as we drove past and v eren't at all sure who the owner was. For these and other reasons, we are glad to hear it at action along this line is about to he undertaken."' The Gloved Hand IF YOU EVER meet a woman and get into a situation where 'the two of you are shaking hands, you will find that she may say all sorts of peculiar things, but one thing she will not say is, "Pleaseexcuse my glove." This phrase is used by men only, Women never apologize for wearing a glove, if they have gloves on, they seldom try' to bare their right hand for a shake, comments The Printed Word. Men make a great job of trying to get the glove off their handshaking hand. They usually don't quite get the glove off. So then they say, "PIease excuse my glove." It gives them something to say, something definite and socially safe. The phrase is much safer, for instance than, "How are you?" when a further glance may show that the person at the other end of the handshake is in a bad way indeed. Some men put real emotion into "Please ex- cuse my glove," sounding almost as though they were saying something new as they grin with relief at having the glittering ban snot ready. At this time of year, however, men begin to find themselves meeting people and brac- ing themselves for a few words' of conversa- tion, and not having ,a glove to try getting off and therefore not being able toapologize about it. When men became tongue-tied in the Spring it used to be thought that it was love,.but now it is seen that they just haven't anything to say when caught without gloves. Springtime Pedestrians! SPRINGTIME DRAWS people out of their houses like bees from a hive. But with people, that has bad results as well as good. More people on streets and highways means more danger of accidents. More children out playing, plus more cars out driving, results in much more need for alertness, caution and considera- Hugh Hill Appointed To Livestock Honour At the annual meeting of the Canadian.

ATKEY; I am enclosing my renewal to your paper which should have been forwarded some time, ago. However, I 'am pleased to get the paper and find it more inter- esting as the weeks succeed each other. Certainly, if you compare a copy with one of a fewyears back, the difference is not hard to find. I ratherlike that little adver- tisement of the Temperance folk— I presume it is an advertisement. You are getting more notice in the outside papers. Just this week I saw a good note from your paper in The London Free Press. I think .I told you last year that it is the first paper I read the day it comes and I believe I get three others that day and sometimes four. Best wishes, cordially, (Signed)—C. C.
