Mr. Robarts the Conservatives have found a new leader, a replacement for the Hon. Mr. Frost, But there are some observations about the convention which chose Mr. Robarts which seem to call for comment. * First, the organized demonstrations for the candidates struck a pretty phony note and did much to detract from the serious business of choosing the next premier for Ontario. There seems to be little place for this in the conduct of our affairs. It would be a pity if we were to permit this sort of senseless buffoonery to become a fixture of our political conventions. Let's leave this to our more demonstrative but less stable neighbours to the South. .Secondly, it is difficult to tell just why a delegate votes as he does and when it's a she, that much more difficult. The con- test was really between three men, Ro- "barts, Roberts and Macauley. From the first it was apparent that the Hon. Mr. Robarts had made quite an impression. It's easy to understand why. He is a particularly handsome man and the Con- servatives seem to have a soft spot for One of the significant things the new leader had to say was that the old-fash- ioned kind of political leadership had gone out with the emergence of specialists in the many and varied fields government embraces. He sounds as though he were a man who is prepared to listen to the advice of those well qualified to give it. Decisions without such counsel are fool- hardy. Mr. Robarts has embarked on a difficult job. We wish him the best of luck, not only for the sake of the province whose destiny he will probably guide but also for his own personal sake. When a man takes on a big job he needs the well wishes of the well-intentioned. The difficulties are great enough. Without co-operative support they are insurmountable. We could wish that Mr. Robarts would listen to some of the gad-flies to be found in the opposition. Their biting criticism and contrary proposals are rich in oppor- tunity for the man who is really alive to his responsibilities. 00d government never resides in a lopsided majority that those who are photogenic. No Homemades Mass communication ~ has We still re= has lost its hearing. Someone might laugh at us, or what It is better to become sc ent. much a part of our daily lives that even the people in backwoods districts are a- ware of the latest fashions in clothing and household appliances. At one time we passed on the clothing from the older children to the younger ones, made over aunty's dresses and put on a successful musical drill at the church entertainment with cotton sheets or sugar bags used as material for the costumes. Boys whittled sticks into toys and played baseball on the back lot for the fun of playing baseball. To-day all entertainment must appear professional. Big monied interests see that the boys get uniforms for ball teams or hockey. Carnivals show more store- bought costumes. Church and school af- fairs are not attended so well as formerly. It's hard to work-up an audience. No wonder young people feel they can- not do anything. How can they compete with this high-powered commercialism? Older people retire more and more into their own personal affairs. Everyone be- gins to conform--to be just like everyone else. . It is easier that way. is worse do us real harm. be quiet, we think, than to go out on a limb and have the limb chopped off be- hind us. laws that protect the individual. If we are afraid we are afraid of groups that are actually outside the law -- pressure groups and mean-minded citizens. By be- ing afraid of these people we increase their power." This is the way to dictator- ship. This ig the Russian way. Each time we accept civic responsibility and fulfil the job well we'do a little to defeat the dictator. Fach time one more worthwhile club or group disappears in our community for lack of leadership we 'move a little. nearer to dictatorship--die- tatorship by unworthy individuals, Our schools, our churches, our homes will be as good as the leadership they get. We want to be free to decide what our way of life shall be. We need you. We need your leadership right here in town. I'ind out what you can do. It's amazing how we grow into a new job and learn in Anglican Notes < By Mary Becker There will be several activities to- night (Thursday) in our church hall. The Church School Teachers' Group will meet at 8.16 p.m.; there will be au euchre and, following choir practice, a meeting of the Young Peoples' Group. The Teachers' meeting is a change of date and it is hoped that all teachers and substitutes will note this and plan to attend. The Young Peoples will be making the decorations for their Hallowe'en masquerade party, to be held in the church hall this Saturday night. Next week, the Evening Guild will hold its regular meeting on Monday night, to continue work on novelty items for the bazaar; and the After- noon Guild will hold a special meet- ing on Tuesday evening, as a shower for the bazaar. All the ladies of the parish are invited to attend this latter event. Our bazaar, formerly put on | by the Evening Guild alone, is to be | somewhat more of a family affair this! 'vear. It is expected that all rooms in the hall, both upstairs and down, 'will be in use. The ladies of the Afternoon Guild will be in charge of the fancy work table and the Young Peoples will have a table also. The Ilvening Guild continues to be res- ponsible for the overall organization and specifically for the tea room, bake ! table, delicatessen table, novelty, dolls' Fashions in men's clothes and in radio equipment have changed con- siderably since this photo was taken in the early. 1920's.

In the rush of Halloween excite- ment, we hope everyone remembers i that this pagan festival of witches and goblins was followed by the two Christian feast days of "All "Saints!

A Safety Post- er Competition was carried out with | grades b to 8 in the Public Schools' of Ontario County. 232 very fine posters were submitted.

A Water Safety Clinic in co-opera- _ tion with the Ontario Red Cross was held in June with over 40 people in attendance. As a follow-up Water Safety Clinics were held by the Ux- bridge Junior Farmers with other Jr. Farmer Clubs in the County.

If we really understood the attitude of our Lord with regards to death, we would lose much of our fear. We do invite you one and all : 4 to be with us on Sunday. On Mona}, ~ Fo day our Guides, Brownies, and Cubs ; will meet. Our Pack of Cubs on the Island, under the leadership of June Crozier and George Freeman is in full swing. We are happy to have Ken Wilgon helping. with the Badge Work. They had an enjoyable Hallowe'en Party last Monday. Cubbing and Scouting is fun; but -we have more fun when there is discipline. It only takes one boy to spoil the fun for all. It is good training for boys who must go out into the world, and rub shoul- ders with many who have no con- ception of working together for the good of all. All of us, hoys and men, will make better citizens, and contri- bute more to the welfare of all, when we stapd with the Church, and sup- port her programmes. There is self- denial, and discipline, and above all, an abounding love for people. Selfish and pampered boys will not take kindly to cubs and scouts; neither will selfish men and women be enamoured with the Church. It is always more blessed to give than to receive.
