And after a rather trying two months of summer holidays, mother will be overjoyed with the idea of her children again !totting off to school. --Grenfell (Sask."! Sun. SWOOSH ONE GOOD THING about the ending of summer and the eorninz on of the cold weather is that power -boating on the lakes and rivers of Canada will soon be over for another year. There was a time when the lakes and rivers were a delight. Refugees from the highways found peace on the waters, up to only a few years ago. It might have been hoped that the speed of rockets. so much greater than boats can achieve. would discourage speed on the waters. Alasl The rockets or some- thit have encouraged speed. Adventurers who have been un- able to annihilate themselves on the highways appear more than willing to give the whole thing a fresh try in another medium.. Lovers drifting with fingers trailing from a canoe, the float- ing bather reclining in a hammock of lake, the anchored punt t.sherman at his meditations, lyric sailors of sail — swoosh goes the speedboat past them trailing laughter and water skiers. Only those summer communities where small lakes are still controlled by implacable adults are safe from the tumult. The small man who rents beside a big lake has no protection. His choices are to go back to the privacy of his bathtub in town or to stay out at the cottage but keeping well away from the shore, waiting for the tranquillity of winter. — (The Printed Word,. MOTORIST'S PRAYER "LORD, L1IPR.ESS upon me the great responsibility that is ;Trine as I take the wheel of my automobile. As I need thy guidance in all things, so now especially do I when I have life and death in my hands. "'Give me always a deep reverence for and a desire to protect human life. When n�andd be loneliness, of eless, remind the hospitals Homes where there is where broken suffering bodies lie in anguish because someone forgot. "'Write indelibly on my conscience that each time I take the wheel of my car I am a potential murderer; that in a few careless moments I could be face to face with dire tragedy for my own family as well as for others. "Give me grace to practice the Christian virtues of patience and thoughtfulness at all times. Help me to show the same eourtesy and kindness to other motorists that I want to expect from them. "When others exceed the speed limit or otherwise break the law, let me not be tempted to do the same. Forgive my stupidity if I ever think it is permissable to violate traffic laws so long as I do not get caught. "Remind me often that I am responsible to Thee as well as to the state to obey the ordinance of the highway, and when I do not, I sin against Thee as well as against my fellow men, even though nobody else may be watching and no accident may result. "Lord, grant me control of my car and of myself at all times. Help me to live lawfully and peaceably, to save life and not destroy it; and so by example lead others to do the same. Amen." -- Anonymous. P CIENNIC AT ST. PETER'S — ST.

Smiley) During my holidays I swore I wouldn't write a column about them when I got home, and bore everybody. And here I am, back at the kitchen table and the type- writer, the clock showing well past midnight, and nothing to write about. But I'll be adamant. I won't write a word about my holidays. * * * I WON'T write a word about them. I won't write a , .. what's that? You want to hear the whole story? Thank you, mother. Maybe I'll just write one word, if my assistants will lock the doors quickly, so nobody can get away, and give everyone a benzedrine pill. I wouldn't want anyone to miss a word. It's so exciting. Well, as threatened, we took this cottage at the beach, see? No. no, I didn't say we could see the beach. We could see a grocery store, three roads and. some other cottages. * * In fact, the first day we were home from the cottage, I was sit- ting in the nice cool kitchen of our house. having a nice cool beverage, when I chanced to look out the window. drank in the nice cool view of our bay, and realized it was the first time I'd seen water for a week, without having to tart+ in the air and drive tO it. The other person interested is the consumer. He apparently can expect to buy eggs very cheaply for a time but I wonder will he also have to look forward to pay- ing a very high price sometime in the future? Perhaps the high price will be controlled by imports from the U.S., Ireland or Hungary as has happened in the past. I don't think the consumer will be too happy with the quality of the imports.
