this in the northern ontario section where parents and children were ceiling back n timo for reopening of school at any rato no ii highway at thorahill was a solid line of muth- bound cars as far as the eye could see when we came along on no 7 and hoped for an opening into that line of traffic at some reasonable period it was here we met a gentleman we dont know his name and wo do not even know his license number vo wouldnt know him again if we met him and in getting acquainted we never heard his voice but we know he is a gentleman apparently he had been back a little way in the line and saw that one car waiting tho line moved along and he was stopped just opposite that intersection in stead of taking his place he motioned for our car to novo in while he held the line for a car length he was delayed a car length but wo were given a lift of possibly half an hour only a gentleman would have been so considerate we hope he reads this because only then will he know his thoughtful- ness was appreciated we met many others on the road who did not show much thoughtfulncss for others but that gentlemans conduct overrules many who gave no appearance of gentlemanliness v youth opportunity schools reopened on tuesday that is tho larger part of them and back went the scholars for another term it seems a long time to look forward to exam time next midsummer but that period invariably rolls around usually much faster than is expected like life it is the day by day progress that makes exam time the easiest to face those who waste the early days of tho term and plan to catch up easily later on find that catching up is much more dif ficult than keeping up with studies as they arc un folded day by day the same is true of those who sacrifice their schooling opportunities of today for tho seeming easy positions with good pay now being offered there is little possibility of going back once school days are stopped few indeed return to the studies after having found the need for education and proper training it must bo taken in tho years and with tho group as the opportunity comes it is in theso years too that lessons are most readily absorb ed opportunity for application of the lessons will be found all along lifes later pathway education is an opportunity for youth every canadian youth should be appreciative of the fact that it is made so easily available v the finality of summeriand we spent last weekend in canadas summeriand in northern ontario and the thing that struck us on tho visit was the finality of auturnn and winter in this land here were wooded shores fine beaches and all apparently ready for many fine more days of outdoor life but september had its calls back to city life for most folks and cottages were boarded up for the winter and equipment was safely stored the end of summer comes with a terrific finish in this summeriand this year the farewell is more abrupt than ever because restrictions on travel fcnjid return visits to the summer cottages when fine days do offer an extra opportunity it would appear that many people have holidayed in northern ontario this year- tourist resorts and cottages had a demand that tore than kept pace with the help irnlilf aad the ration the inquiry was often required to see if even single meal accommodation was ava gone awe the wayside tands st with auapteen kinds of bars and ctcry known refreshment indeed even the familiar chewinggum may mean the object of wide aad unsuccessful search stocks that were once plentiful in the tourist section have now been depleted the finality of shortages which seemed so far removed a year ago have also come to the sum mer colonies perhaps its all for the best holidays have been more restful neighbors in suttimer camps have be come more neighborly and helpful one may bring all tho mail from town now instead of al gathering in town at mail time war restrictions have made alterations in the way of holiday life but canadians stall have glorious opportunity for peaceful holidays right within their own borders v a house in caaaaata the few conversations we have had with men in tho active services who have returned home for fur ther training invalided or for other reasons have impressed us with the regard every one of them have for their home town they may visit other countries and see more gorgeous scenery but after all theres nothing quite equal to the home surroundings but were thinking too that when the boys come back in greater numbers they will have to be ready to accept the changes that have occurred during their absence most of them have we think been for the belter but ihcy have removed some of the land marks they once knew our papulation hav chauged loo and llure arc new people willi wliunl tliuso re turning will have to btconic acquainted we think the nicii who have been away will agrc they arc line ust as we have louild llicin but ihcy are dlt- tcrcnt from those you left we say these ihings as a hint tu llios men over seas acton and the district isnt exactly the same as when you left and there has been a considerable change in population no place can stand still an hese days but youai iiud sufficient uf tuc old faces and old landmarks to assure you that its home as we write tin fma itilss each week we try to keep you informed of these changes but thanks to our holding of the bailie in europe there are no bombed buildings or bomb craters there are no war casualties your home town is still a peaceful canada and untouched by germans italians or japs v a new ivrspecuve city folks who have been exploring ihe country side this summer have viewed the rural scene with both new and renewed interest relatively common ihings such as the old woodpile have actually arous ed spontaneous enthusiasm bordering on excite ment the berry patch has aroused exclamations of delight among mere citybreds when they discover large bunches of the glistening fruit the unearthing of potatoes has been a source of new attention for ihe wayfaring city dwellers the urban people have been getting a kick out of the swiss chard egg plant melons squash corn celery and other vegetables at the ripening stage former favored haunts such as the cattle stalls and pig pen arc almost ignored by tho visitor from the city in thcuf rush to see whats growing in ihe long rows the holidayers gasp when they come upon the neatlystacked cordwood which is the fuel supply for the coming winter its great to live in small town or country they say yes tho big city has cause to be envious of the little spot on the map along whose main street the tourists once sped with hardly mora than a quick glance the holidayseekers now take a much more serious view of tho advantages of smalltown life undoubtedly the ruralito is entering a new era v editorial notes the week at ottawa by 4m1y mjuuky 41mmb rmm mat wetter yes its quite correct that acton fair is just a week away v school days fairs and threshing time all signs thai summer is over and autumn is here v with winter coming along the shortage of homes in town and the consequent longer travelling to and from work are not pleasant anticipations to many in acton v it is important to remember that political plat forms are like icebergs the more dangerous parts of them are out of sight cochrane ont north land post v- thanksgiving day has been proclaimed as october 11th and we hope that having once been set it will not be as moveable as holidays were for a brief per iod this year v its not to be wondered if those interested in fall fairs study the almanacs more closely these days after all so much depends on the weather in the success or failure of an outofdoors event v wc have appreciated the kindly references and compliments that
