WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 1940 Time to Forget Foolishness By Referring to the indubitable fact that some sections of the populace "don't take the war seriously," a prominent daily news- paper recently had this to say in its editorial columns, "the dance-halls, con- tributing largely to adolescent irresponsi- bility, are still packed. . .." Few people would be in favor of banning dancing. It has become recognized as a social grace along with such other activities as bridge and outdoor sports. The old days of mid-Victorianism when aancing was re- garded as "improper" have disappeared, and for many years "tripping the light fan- tastic" has been accorded its proper place in the scheme of things. The banning of dancing or any kind of merry-making in Germany serves to illus- trate the differcnce between the gloomy and saturnine make-up of totalitarian slaves and the cheerful '"'chin-up" philoso- phy of the democrat. However, there is one important observation to be made, and it is this. During the past few years a new craze or fad has made too many inroads on our younger generation. The "jitterbugs" and, | "alligators" or what-have-you, are develop- ing a new philosophy of adolescent foolish- ness that is very trying to more adult minds. The sight of young people indulg- ing in snake-like movements and wiggling of the head from side to side at any pretext be it jazz music from the neighbor's radio or completely without accompaniment, makes one wonder if such young people realize that these are tremendous times in which we are living and that it is too much folly and too little sacrifice that endanger us all today. This new fad, when carried to such lengths, becomes less a form of pleasure than a stupid manifestation of undisciplin- ed folly and while ten-year-old youths drill with rifles in Nazi Germany and democracy bleeds from the soil of France, we find some young people here who know very little about vital matters, but can tell you the whole life history of any given swing band leader. With the majority of Cana- dian youth, we can thank Heaven this is not the case, but to those others who still want to live in blissful ignorance we would say: "How about a little less Benny Good- man and more 'Land of Hope and Glory." " Farmers Have Important Task In the light of recent changes in the war situation, the role of the farmer in Canada has become increasingly important in the struggle of the British Empire against dictators. With famine threatening many parts of Europe, after farm lands have been abandoned and millions of people are locked in battle, it will be one of Canada's duties to see to it that the English may eat even though nearly all of them over there are concentrating on actual fighting. Farmers here have been advised to proceed with their work as in former years, but to bear in mind that some time in the near future there will be a world wide scarcity of farm products regardless of the ups and downs of the warring nations. Despite the wet weather which -re- tarded farm work the outlook for farm- ers throughout the province is regarded as fairly bright. This is particularly true in Ontario county, according to the Agri- cultural office at Uxbridge. Pastures have been left in excellent condition and the most optimistic reports are forthcoming about the fine shape of all classes of live- stock. The Obnoxious Fly Many people still look on the fly as only 2 mild nuisance, chiefly annoying by his habits of buzzing and tickling. Those little things are nothing! If one had microsco- pial eyes capable of seeing the disease germs which this enemy of mankind picks up, carries around and distributes during a single day he would take a different view of the enemy, the Chatham News says. It may be permitted to mention only one of the fly's obnoxious manners--When you see him trampling around in the sugar bowl, he is not just nibbling the grains of sugar. He can't nibble; so he regurgigates a drop of fluid from his tummy to melt the sugar, then he can suck it up. Not nice. is it? Enemy of Rumor Mast Be Avoided In an address in Whitby last week Col. Frank Chappell, of Oshawa, told an audi- ence of over 400 citizens that one of the ways Canadians could help the Mother Country to make a valuable contribution to the winning of the war was to be constant- ly on guard against rumor which he said was a foul jade, which might create and cultivate the spirit of defeatism which would be very useful to the enemy, as it had in other countries, also a spirit of false optimism. : Col. Chappell asked his hearers to refuse to listen to rumor spreaders, and also to guard against passing along rumors they hear. This was sound, timely advice, such as is needed in Oshawa and many other places today. Col. Chappell might have gone further and warned citizens against making any statements upon which rumors might be based. They should also be careful of their actions. Many a remark made thoughtless- ly may lead to something serious. Editorial Notes Buy War Savings stamps and certifi- cates. Silver bullets will help win the war. . Favorite question these days: "Have you had your holidays yet? The Vatican suggests that Britain might ask what Germany's peace terms might be. Britain isn't even interested at the moment. In the present crisis what more' could any government do but to conscript all human and material resources. And nobody wants to see any partiality in this huge program. Italy is spending about $13,000,000 on the improvement of her naval bases, pre- sumably to protect her navy so that the wicked British cannot get at it behind the shore batteries, minefields and other de- fences. By becoming Postmaster-General at Otta- wa, Colonel W. P. Mulock assumes a port- folio once occupied by his grandfather. Under existing circumstances, however, it is unlikely that he will become a second "Father of Penny Postage" for at least a considerable period of time. There may well be a moral for Canada in this comment by the New York Times: "Unlike Premier Reynaud of France, who built his Cabinet on too narrow a founda- tion, Mr. Churchill has been wise enough to place Labor leaders in the key positions of the war effort. Perhaps this is one of the many reasons why the British people are now united under his leadership, irrespec- tive of politics, regardless of class, until, by now, they are truly a garrison of more than forty millions, grimly resolved that their fortress shall not surrender."

McCrae, Moose Creek, in district court here. McCrae was charged that he did unlawfully, wantonly and cruelly abandon g dog that had been struck by his car. On a charge of speed- ing he was assessed $10 and costs with the option of 15 days. The charges arose out of an in- cident on June 28 in the village of Newcastle when a dog was injured by accused's car. Although McCrae stopped momentarily a short dis- tance down the road, he was pur- sued by P.O., W. F. Thompton and brought back to the village, In registering a conviction on the speeding charge, Magistrate Long- man declared: "We accept facts in this court and not the opinion or judgment of someone, and if you san pring the facts before this court ! that you were not exceeding 50 m | p.h.

"Another dozen and | a half quarts was found inside. Two | men were also in the house, but | were not drinking" Jacobs denied ever selling or keep- | | ing for zale, and claimed the man | who had gone into the house had | | been buying a chicken, while the | other was an electrician "I don't hesitate to' say I am not | impressed with the evidence cf (he defense," Magistrate Longman de- clared. ""The story about the heer in the bag is very weak. I will re- | serve my judgment until Friday" A charge of illegal possesison was withdrawn.

Officers in charge commended the men for | their voluntary enlistment and it was apparent that what they lacked in steadiness and finesse they more than made up in eagerness and adaptability Seventy-five men turned out for | the opening parade, while many more were recruited during the eve- ning and given medical examina- tions. Addressing the men following the parade, Major Angus Mowat, offi- cer commanding Headquarters Com- pany, announced that three parades would be held weekly by the com- pany. "You have joined the ranks at a Major Mowat said, "but we have been in equally tough spots before. We've come through and we will come through again. Your enlist- ment indicates that you realize the seriousness of the situation and are willing to give of your time and efforts to help defend this country and the Empire in the event the Hun or hic allies ever sets foot on our shores. . "As Second Battalion of the Has- tings and Prince Edward Regiment, we have a splendid record to up- hold. While our regiment is com- paratively young, its forebears, the 16th Prince Edward Rifles and the 49th Hastings Regiment had long and honorable records. As well, the First Battalion of the regiment which was one of the two County Regiments in Canada selected for the Pirsy Division has distinguished itself overseas as being the first and the last Canadian unit into France in the present conflict." Major Mowat announced that he had received notification that the company would go to Petawawa Camp on August 24th i - Raglan (Mrs. Lloyd Miller, Correspondent) Raglan, July 23.--We extend our deepest sympathy to the relatives of the late Arthur Hubbard who passed away suddenly at his home in En- field and was buried in Pine Grove Cemetery on Saturday.
