"Such is the patriots boss, where'er we roam: Hig first, best country ever is at home." ' WORK BEGINS AT HOME It is time to cease- bemoaning - the: fact that practically all the world is discovered --that the material horizons are farther away than ever before, What is nedded to-day is pioneers of thought and action. Men and women with grit enough to do whatever 'job comes. to hand, and go on fitting themselves for better jobs. The world is full of people to-day who think' they have yothing to ik and go 'on doing it. No young person who possesses health and strength need be idle. - No young person with average intelligence odd be ignorant. At home and everywhere about us there is an abundance of work to be done; and to refuse te do anything because of small pay or lack of pay does not give .évidence of good manhood or womanhood. Some one has to do that work or it goes undone, = Some- one has provided life 'and sustenance for those who find--*"nothing to do." It is not lack of work that troubles most young people, but a wropg idea of what is due to them. The young man who keeps his home tidy and in good repair, who is proud of his garden and his bit of lawn--that young man is not likely to be long "out of employment. If in addition to in- dustry he loves to fit himself for some line of work that suits his abilities, he has Tivo strings to his bow--industry and growing intelligence Any of us who have lived in Canada for the past fifty or sixty years know that'this statement of the case is.correct. There are few of us that have not at some time worked for our board, be- cause nothing better offered. We did not dream of being absolutely idle, if we had fancied such an idea, hunger would have dispelled 'it. Work ' begins at home, and, at the risk of repetition, those who take a practical pride in home seldom fail to find a proper place in life. This does not mean that all who work will be adequately rewarded for what they do. But the fact remains that all employers have kéen eyes for folk who put heart and soul into their jobs. W. R.

The Dest of 'these pictures is a > stereoscopic view of Port Perry's front | street in 1879-- before the great fire. The sidewalks were all of plank. The horses and buggies stood by hitching posts. There were about nine hotels, several of them visible. Stores dis- played a nice lot of solid merchandise on the outside of the stores." The street stretehes out into the distance i with the towers of the Town Hsll, Presbyterian and Baptist churches all showing. ~ ' : There is also a fine picture of the old station "with "Nip and Tuck" in the foreground, and a pile of wood for fuel that would keep us all warm for a long _time. ~ If you are interested, come in and have a look at the' pictures at the Star Office. You will see what a transformation there has been in the appearance of the town since 1879. |= Even since the present editor of the Star came here the changes have been notable.
