Editor, COMMON i-URPOSE Antliropologists tell us that man in his early state lived anart with his own little family, arid arohacologista say the first communities were form- ed by confederated families brought together fo:- a common purpose â€" protection against man's natural en- emies. To-day, man is Histinptly a gregarious animal attracted more and more to community life. And men still build cities for a common purpose, or common purposes. In the city one finds protection ag- ainst fire, diseaje and tho enemies of society. One goes to the city for rood schools and monumental church- es, paved streets, employment, art, entertainment, the society of other men and comforts of life denied the rural citizen There is found the front rank of civilization. The people of Flesherton have a common purpose. It is tho advance- ment of the community as a whole. That common purpose is hardly dis- tinguishable from the purpose of each individual. That which bene- fits the community reacts to the ben- efit of each of its citizens. Prosperity and progress come to those communities whose citizens have their eyes upon the largest num- ber of common purposes. Success crowns the efforts of the man of purpose, and the city with a com- mon purpose works as one man. "Common purpose" creates new In- dustries, increases business, mini- mizes unemployment, makes cities better places in which to live and per- form miracles in community better- ment. Bairnsfather, made famous by his pictures of "The Better 'Ole'" says the Scotch are the most humorous people in the world. It has to be admitted however, that some of them talce con< siderable timri to see a Joke. • • • President-elect Hoover of the Unit- ed SUtes is determined to be original. Within a few days of his selection he has started off on a warship to paj good-will visits to South American Republics. They tell ua one of his reasons for this unique pilgrimage is to get away from office-seekers until inauguration day is near. • •• « Four of the bandits who robbed the mails at Toronto last summe,- have been sentenced to serve long terms In the nenitentiary. Judge Wright told them they could have been sentencea to penal servitude for life and been whipped into the bargain. Th's dis- poses of all but the fifth bandit, who will no doubt be caught one of these fine days. The rascals diplayed i daring and ingenuity in their crime, but the arm of the law is alwajs i long, and in Canada detection and j punishment almost certain. Strange ( that wrongdoers should strive so hard | to gel other people's mney, when by equal industry they might gain an honest and abundant living. , Ten Year Old Boj To Receive Medal Stanley Conron, aged 10 years, will be presented with a bronze med- al by the Royal Canadian Humane Society next Thursday, and all the boys and girls of school age in Sud- bury will be on hand to witness the presentation, which will be made by Mayor Bibby. A few months ago, Stanley saved a baby from deatti beneath the wheels of a fast express train, snatching the child from the engine's path in the nick of time. A second later, he too, would have lost his life. Stanley's father is Sergeant George Conron of the Sudbury police force, and the boy is a native of Bar- rie. He is the first lad of his age to be so recognized by the Humane Society. â€" Toronto Star. »♦»♦»♦»>»♦»» » >»»< I MM I>»« li mn > # »»>»»>»» « >••â-  a H »»l»>»>CI>0 » i»»»ii I >»>• DUNCAN'S HARDWARE I ;;>#»0»C»dOOOO M I>l»i ,.< ' MOTHERS' ALLOWANCE BOARD The members of the Mothers' Al- lowance Board for ^he County of Grey met on Friday night last at the Munshaw House and elected officers for the ensuing year as follows: â€" Chairman, H.
