inspectof a report this year stressed the fact that english in the school was not up to standard and some children were as much as two years behind average in their grasp of reading it must be realized that we cannot leave edu cation entirely in the hands of the teachers and home training is of equal importance and must go side by side with classroom instruction reading can be taught to some degree in the classroom but home instruction is also necessary and it is every parents duty to supply the proper books at home to start reading to his chil dren as soon as they are old enough to grasp the signi ficance of stories and to encourage an appreciation of good literature the fast pace of modern life particularly in geor getown where there seems to be something doingeery night and the fact that many mothers are employed in local industry are perhaps the main causes for the de cline in reading the radio too must take part of the blame it is up to each of us to help overcome the problem by providing books at home and encouraging use of the local library next year it is to be hoped that the inspectors report will note an improvement in the reading ability at the school on paying bands it is to be hoped that councillor norm hills sug gestion that a bylaw be passed to set aside a sum of money each year for expenses in connection with the annual memorial service will be carried out for some reason the payment of bands by a town council is sing led out in the municipal act for special attention and it is illegal for any paymentto be made by the town unless such a bylaw is in force as the memorial ser vice is a community service it should not be expected that the local legion branch will foot the bill and it is only right and proper that the town should pay expen ses nor is it right to expect a band to perform for no charge any more than one should expect programs to be donated or the sound system or the wreathes passing of such a bylaw as mr hill suggests will once and for all settle any controversy which might arise in the future about the engagement of a band for the service pot pourr1 closed for one day a week ago monday carrolls store had

necessary to work four nights last week farmers who depend on chickens and eggs for some of their profits have long faces these days and no wonder wih the news that britain will not be tuying canadian
