Time To Clean Up
A LITTLE SIT of fresh paint can go I, long way,
It can go along way toward sprucing up a house, or a store,
Inain street, or a chicken pen.
And this is the time of year for it. If it was a spring day
when Tom Sawyer accepted the job of painting his aunt's board
fence—and we have no reason to doubt it then we can understand
how easy it was to persuade his boy friends to take the job. We
can also understand why Tom was relucant to let out the task,
except in exchange for attractive boyish treasures.
This is the season for cleaning up, painting up, and generally
sprucing up our surroundings before summer is with us, and it's
too hot for words.
Isn't It Funny
(Wharton Echo)
THAT SO MANY businessmen will get up in the morning,
:refresh themselves with a dose of advertised salts. Clean their
teeth with an advertised brush and advertised toothpaste.
Wash themselves with an advertised soap, and shave with an
advertised razor. Put on advertised underwear, advertised hose,
garters, shirts, collar and shoes.
Seat themselves at the table and eat advertised breakfast food
and bread. Drink advertised coffee or cocoa. Put on an advertised
hat and gloves.
Light an advertised cigarette, with an advertised lighter. Go
to work in an advertised car.
Give letters to a typist, who types on an advertised machine
and uses advertised carbons. Signs letters with an advertised pen
containing advertised ink.
And then . . . turn down a proposal to advertise, on the
ground that advertising doesn't pay.
A Mighty Force
(Wingham Advance -Times)
ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON we were interested by a TV
program which dealt with the development of the West Indies
islands which are now a part of the new nation formed under
the British Commonwealth. The feature touched on many phases
of life in the islands which are now awakening to a new sense of
purpose and responsibility.
The pictures included scenes of a mobile library delivering
books to the schools. Unfortunately books are still so scarce in many
of the islands that they have to be handed out on rationing system.
To provide incentive for the children to apply themselves diligently
to their ,studies, only those who . have attained good mark's are
permitted to have born' There was a most-impeessive sequence,
as a library truck pulled upto a school and the eager children
almost mobbed the librcrian in their haste, to secure the treasured
volumes. The sad faces, of those who would not receive any books
Were equalling revealing.
' The programquite naturally led us to thoughts of the vast
variety of printed matter which is available to us in Canada, and
the fact that we do not value it as we should. Our children can
secure limitless numbers of books, and yet their interest in the
treasures of the printed word is not nearly as keen as it is among
youngsters who have had scarcely any access to books.
Perhaps it is the old story of the familiar blessing being treated
with contempt, but any influence which will lead us back to the
sound values and great pleasures of intelligent reading is worthwhile.

'books ,is now in circulation. You
Will find in it at :least one book
en, capture your interest.

tions of the stock market; and

According to Canadian Cancer
Society officials, no drug has yet
been found which cures cancer.
The most effective treatment for
the disease is surgery or radiation
in the early stages.
SUGAR and SPIER
(By W. (Bill)
Each year, as I approach the
subject of Wather's Day with
something akin (about 4th cous-
in) to reverence, I try to write
something gentle and tender
about mothers.
1itEachouyear, it
seems to get
*
Sitting here contemplating the
whole complex problem of Moth-
ers, one fact has been borne in on
me :as rentlessly as a beer bottle
is borne in on an evening tide.
Mothers Are Not What They Us-
ed Ta Be.
*:
Anyone who has ever ;had a mo-
ther, if he stops to think for a
minute, will realize that I'm right.
And those ,of you who haven't
had that privilege areinvited to
look around, and I'm sure you
too, will agree.
Just compare your mother and
mine with those young nips that
are masquerading under the title
today.. It's enough to make you
cry. Oh, not for us. We had our
mothers in the days when "M is
for ;the many" used to leave nary
a dry eye in. the house. But I
feel like weeping when I think of
what it's going to be like for our
cbil!dren 26 years from now.
* *
Who is going to write sloppy
poems about Mom, er get all mas-
tyeyed about that little ole moth-
er -o -mine, when all they can re-
member is a &ernal wo always
had a cigarette in one corner of
her mouth, swore fluently and
drove a car like a bat out of
hell?
Who is going to reminisce, glut-
tonously, about the meals his
Mom could cook, when ala he can
conjure up asi picture of his old
lady tearing the wrapper off a
frozen food dinner, or grumbling
as she threw together a ready -
mix cake?
Who is going to tell his child-
ren, a couple of decades from
now, what a dear little Christian
lady Gramma was, when all he
can recae is Herself hustling off
to the bingo, or sitting around
complaining because the beer
wasn't cold' enough?
I3ow, indeed, will he be able .to
talk about that white -•haired lit-
tle, old lady in .the vine -covered
cottage, handing out whiles and
cookies to the .neighbour's child-
ren, when he knows full well that
she's in Florida, bronzed as a
Bantu, in the process of going
through her third husband?
*
Ah, it's a bitter road ahead for
our children, when Mother's Day
rolls around, and they might as
well steel themselves for it. Not
for them the pious expression, the
once• -a -year trip to church with
Mom, the phony flower, the sud-
denly acquired thoughtfulness
with which we approach Mother's
Day, They'll probably have to take
the old hellion out and play her
18 holes of golf, unless she slows
down a lot in the meantime,

However, there's a bright side
to everything, as the new hus-
band said when he found out his
wife could play cribbage. Mother
may not be the homebody she used
to be. She may be handier with

HOW CAN I?
Q. How can I make a celluloid
cement?
A. Use one part camphor and
four parts alcohol. Dissolve and
add to this solution an equal
quantity, by weight, of shellac."
Q. How can I clean varnished
wall paper?
A. Melt a bar of yellow soap
and pour into a pan of warm wat-
er. Apply with a soft white -wash
brush. Do not have the brush too
wet.
Q. How can I easily clean spon-
ges?
A. Soak them in milk far th-
ree or four hours, wring them
until perfectly dry, then rinse
thoroughly in hot water.
Q. How can I make the taste of
olive oil more palatable?
A. A small pinch of salt added
to the olive oil will make the
taste more agreeable.

Don't waste too many tears on
