The aiext big rural event on the fall menu of oitdoor cntertaiînmdint iin tiis district is the Durhiam Coillit.- PIOlowi Match.

Bickle represent- ed Bowmanville Town ('ouncil. The States- man publislied a ver, informative report prepared by Mr. Biekle whicb reccivcd mucla favorable comment. Qucen 's University at Kingston, will hold a Public Administration Conference for Municipal Officers on October 25-28. It is to be hoped that other local officiais il attend this important meeting. This conference shotuld prove of real val- ue, says Ross M. Winter. Director of Extenl- sion Work of the University. It wilI en- able -municipal officials to meet together to receive instruction and advice upon their tasks and to discuss together their common problemas. Municipal Government is steadily growing in importance as the field of Gov- ernmeîat widens. The increasing complex- ity of Municipal Administration owing to ,ehanging social conditions, the constant amendment of old leg-islation and enact- ment of new legislation requires more than ever well infoi'med and trained officiaIs for the good conduct of municipal affairs. While intended prîmarily for Municipal of- fiials, the conference will be open to al who are interested. New Method of Raising Money A favorite topie for editorial comment in tbese columns lbas been the questionable methods of raising money for church pur- poses by holding( bazaars, raffles, bingo games, rummagte sales, home-made cooking-, etc. We were therefore interested in a niew money-raising- venture as contained in the Newmarket Era which reads: "The imag-inary sale of faney work held at the United Cburch ini Aurora recently deserves more attention than it received. Instead of bringing aprons, towels, fancy- work, possibly to bc sold ai a loss, and incidentally damaging tbe business of or- dinary merebants, the ladies broug-ht the equivalent of tlieir g-ifts ini cash. The ehurcb realized over $200 and the ladies enjoyed a social afternooni. The question is sometimies asked whether churelb suppers, whicb involve so nuch work. are worth- while I The patrons, usually get more than their money 's worth, aitbe expense of the church ladies w'bo -ive generously u work liard.

As xill be recalleci. the colors of Ontario 's 19:38 îaarkeî's resulted ini a great deal of coîtrovers as to their visibility. The On- taraio government was made the aark of inucha criticasm and ridicule because of their choice of colors in respect to the, markers. The 1939 maa'kers for Ontario wili not be a great deal different than Quebec 's 1938 'markers in that. the former will be black and white vhile the latter are black and sort of a silver.

MAKING CANADA A Better Place in Which to Live and Work A Sertes of Letters from Distinguished Canadians on Vital Problemns Affecting the Future Welfare of Canada Specially Wrltten for Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association - LETTER NO. 29 __________ Dear Editor,- In my father's home we were broughî up 10 be rcaders o! the weekly press. We had in our home in Oxford County, the Em- bro Courier, The Woodsbock Sen- tinel Review, The Straîford Bea- con, nîl well conducted and ifu enbial newspapers. All my life Il have been a reader o! weekly papers published in the smaller cities and towns and I know bow great is their influence in the lives o! the people. Their special sphere o! information consbantly includes the home, the school, the church and municipal government. A large and most important facI o! liie. Il is important for the wel- fare o! the people thal the weekly press should continue prosperous and influential. There is one other malter I suppose one should mention-that is the question o! politics. The old idea o! purely party organ is pass- ing-yet every editor with a liv- ing soul is bound 10 be an influ- ence on public questions. He can- nol even gave correct information without creating opinion. I sin- cerely believe the less well-known papers wibh local circulation are still largely the power bebind the throne. Creating that public opin- ion-which the city papers and public men generally seek to re- flect and !ollow. Il is therefore most important that the editors o! these influential weekly journals should have freedom and courage.1 Rev. Dr. Hugh Munroe There need be nothing partisan in them. I am nob an admirer o! neutràls. Sincerely yours, HUGH MUNROE, Moderator o! General Assembly, the Presbyterian Cburch in Canada. New Glasgow, NS.

THE COMMON COLD If the sum total o! suffering, inconvenience, sequelae and ec- onomic loss from common colds be obtained, it would at once ele- vate.these infections from the tri- vial mbt the rank o! the serions diseases. The autumn is the time for colds tbough they may occur aI any lime o! the year. Many o! us have !rom one 10 three colds la year. One abtack produces lit- île immuniby. 0f what does a coid consist? It is a group o! acute infections o! the mucous (lining) mem- branes o! the tbroal and nuse, of!- len exîending mbt the windpipe and larger bronchi. The sinuses, :bLhaI is the hollow spaces adjacent 10 the nose, are frequently in- volved. The infection may be con- fined 10 the nose when il is called rhiniîis; il may affect the Ibroal as in tonsilibis, or as a pharyngi- lis; bbc larynx as a laryngilis, and the branchial tubes as a bronchi- tis. . Coid and draughts The popular idea that a cold is due to a draughl is scarcely cor- rect. Exposure 10 draughts, sud- den chaniges o! bemperature and chilling o! the body are predis- posing causes o! colds, but no cold can originale witbout the spccific micro-organism or bug which is the essential cause. The Cause Some say Ihal a common cold idue Ici a virus, that is a germ so small Ihat it cannot be seen under the microscope. Many di!- ferenî germs secm 10 be associaI- cd wilh colds. Pcrhaps the cause is a combinalion o! viruses and geris. Common colds may not be a single disease but raîher a group o! infections wbacb vary in sever- ity and caîcbability. Colds arc caugbt !rom other persons having colds just as diph- theria is contracîed from diph- theria patients. Arcîic explorers, exposed 10 ah Ibhe conditions pop- ularly supposed 10 produce colds, do not suifer from these ailments until Ihey retnrn 10 civilizabion and become in!ecîed by contact with their !eliows.
