Particularly would this apply to a man who has been active all his life, and then suddenly finds himself without any parti- cular occupation. R. H. Cornish, the retiring principal of the Public School, which now appropriately carries his name, must be one of these to which the above applies. After serving devotedly for 35 years at the Sohal, 34 of them as principal, it must be with mixed emotions... "he now leaves the work he loved so much. In addition to his busy life as teacher and principal, Mr. Cornish found time to contribute generously to many community projects, through membership in the Lions Club, the Masonic Lodge, and the United Church Board. of Stewards, as well as supporting the community youth as coach of minor hockey for 17 years, organizing Public School carnivals, etc. And when time was available he was a spectator at sports functions both summer and winter. -At the testimonial 'Dinner last Wednesday, Mr. Cornish said he had some regrets, but felt there were compensations to make up for them. However, there must be few men in any small town in Canada, who through sincere, hard work, and personal interest in life around him has acquired so many friends as Mr. Cornish has. The dinner Wednesday proved this when friends, colleagues and members of his family ar- rived here from near and far to pay the popular school principal and civic leader the tribute he so well deserved. We feel that a special tribute should be-paid Mrs. Cornish who at all times has given Roy the necessary -moral support when needed, and as wife and mother has always contributed to a good home for her husband and son, Bill. Congratulations! SEMI-GUILT Creeping into police parlance is a phrase thot is not very nice. It is that a certain person, a suspect, will not be prosecuted because "there is not enough evidence to "convict." This applies to minor cases as well" as to major ones. If there is not sufficient Seiiderncs to conviet" there is not any evidence. The phrase may have started in order that some policeman not as diligent as he should have been could impress on his superiors the fact that he did have some evidence or thought he had. But evidence not admissible in court or having no bearing on the case in point is not evidence at all.

May you never have a child who is going to col- "lege. And if you have one, please accept my heart- ~felt condolences, Ours is a male. I don't know what college girls are like (any more, he said sadly) but I suspect they're just as much of a cross to bear, for their. " parents.

It isn't that we don't love our son. We have the deepest affection for him, and show it in the usual stupid ways. That is, we worry about his welfare; we puff with pride when he does something well; we spend hours trying to figure out what is best for him; and we put up with murder from him. Typical, noPmal .parents, And it isn't that he's a delinquent. Although there are times when I've been tempted to look up the exact definition of that word. g No, he's really quite a decent, average college student. He's generous, idealistic and perfectly 'good-natured, if you don't cross him, He is reas- onably polite = to everyone but his family, He is thoughtful with old people and children--until they bore him, He can work steadily for 12 hours at something he likes doing. Like sleeping. He would 'around the house. give you the shirt off his back; and is completely self-centred. He can dance all 'night, but gollanses --when-the-lawn-is-half-mowed." ee You'd 'wonder why we'd Higa this sense of relief when he leaves. There's lots of fun when he's piano well, plays mouth organ, is full of beans. When he's around the house, Ay, there's the rub, He has just spent three. weeks "at home". This included a couple of days visiting his grandparents, 'a week off hitch-hiking to Montreal and back, three days with a friend at the latter's cottage, and a day with another friend in the city. But it's been nice to have him home. And he's been a great help to me. He mowed oné"hird of the lawn one day; dug four feet of a 60-foot border another, and washed the car another (at the coin-wash). I'm mot trying to imply that the boy is Sines lazy. It's just that he's too busy. When he is home, he usually gets to bed an hour, sometimes two, before I get up at 6.30. When I get home for lunch, about 1.30, he. is just coming to. By 2.30, it's too hot to mow the grass, but just right for the beach, Honesty compels. me to admit that he did set a new record this time. He got in at 3.30 one morn- ing, and was just struggling downstairs for break- fast at 5.30 p.m,, when his accomplices of the night before arrived to pick him up for a date they'd made He plays guitar and sings, plays . made, the only trip we could afford this summer was a SMILEY for 7 pm.

My jaw dropped gradu- ally but steadily during this recitial, He was pretty badly shaken up when I told him he would be renting a pillow for 26 cents and sleep- ing in his seat, would be eating ham sandwiches wherever the train stopped long enough, and would stay at the YMCA when he got there, We compromised on $50. My wife and I were talking it over. "It seems odd," she said, "that we're forking out $50 so he can get to a job, so that he can save money, so that it won't cost us so much next year." I agreed, Anyway, our vacation plans for the summer .are A week ago, the old girl stated flatly that week camping in a government camp, with a bor- rowed tent.
