C falls to come to s with a r t • i ob em that exists,. . ,y,E,� s grips rye Y 1 treating the subject in a more or less theoretical way. • But it remained for a Cddn+tonli+an, Rev. R. M. P. 'Suited, really to "hit the nail on the head as far as Clinton is concerned, when he 'discussed the problem of safety at last week's meeting of Clinton Lions Club. His address lis reported reasonably fully in another column of this issue. Although Rev. Mr. Bulteel advocates safety measures for people of all ages, he especially is interested hi the younger generation. The fact that this community recently has been lsin+gu1amly free of serious accidents is no .guarantee that this condition of affairs will continue. The public would do well to take heed of Rev. Mi'. Bulteel's suggestions, especially that recommending a cleaning campaign in town this year. Rtybbish filling attics and basements definitely is a fire hazard. O 0 0 A COMMENDABLE ENTERPRISE C'medians, being among the most favoured peoples of the world, for a long time have been on the receiving end of stirring appeals for help --dor the Russians, for the Chinese, for the Dutch, for what have you. Not that we have any quarrel with these appeals that take place in an organized way from time to time; on the contrary, we believe firmly in the principle of the Golden Rule, in helping our neighbor. But the time has come when we might take into thoughtful consideration the plight in which the harassed British people—common with us in ancestry, tradition, and lang- uage, and an important and leading part of our British Cornmonweaiith of Nations. Letters received locally tell of their situation in a particularly severe winter season. For this reason, we are exceedingly well pleased -- and no doubt everyone in this community feels the same way—to learn that an Ontario --wide campaign to collect clothing for the people of Britain will be launched immed- iately, as outlined by Premier Drew in the Legislature. Mayors and reeves of every municipality are called upon to forward clothing to a clearing house in Toronto. From there it will be shipped overseas as soon as possible. Distribution of the clothing in Britain wild be handled by Ontario House in London. Hon. Russell T. Kelley, Minister of Health, who will be in charge of the campaign, is an old hand at this game, having served most successfully as chairman of Red Cross blood donor' and clothing collection campaigns during recent years. Knowing something of his energy and ability, the drive should be a complete success, O 0 0 SPRING C(`,/" anadian winters sometimes bring to our mind the story of the mean who hired someone to beat him about the head for a length of time so he night experience the intense pleasure of relief when it was stopped, remarks The Hydro News in its current issue. In other words, it ib just possible that our winters are well worth the discomfort for the sudden tremendous release of Sprbig; 'and we can console ourselves throtlgh the dark, cold months with the thought that those who live in tropilcal climates will never 'know the almost pain- fu1 joys of our first Spring- days. • Spring, here, is not the lingering affair it is in Some more temperate countries. It is a few days of activity so intense that it is breath -taking to watch. The last snow is cornered and, seeing its doom, makes a hurried retreat, birds swell, 'grass begins to show colour, green shoots rise surprisingly from the hard ground, birds sing with shrill and unembarrassed ecstasy, the Whole earth vibrates with a great surge of life and the warm, new sun seems to thaw all the aches and pain's and disappoint- ments out of our bodes and hearts; Tit is hard far us to express this fine, Spring-like joy of living. It is all very well for the birds and the poet's but what are the rest of us to do when we are assailed by these feelings? Other ages and other peoples, less inhibited than ourselves, have donned their best. finery and, giving them- selves up to what night be termed .scandalous .abandon, have proceeded to ,ce'le'brate the new season. But in these staid and sensible days what are we to do? To don a wreath of flowers and dance in the park seems hardly the thing and would certainly be frowned upon by the park authorities? No, as the spring eun syarkles and the young buds burst we make the workaday compromise -and with "fine, careless rapture" well under control, we spend a noon hour looking over the 0attea!t models in rakes and garden spades, before we hurry back to our offices.
