LET JOY BE UNCONFINED Chief Illingworth has informed us the Grey and Bruce Police Associa- tion is holding a dance in Walkerton on the 2&th of this month. In fact he called around and gouged the price d a ticket out of us, with a waran' in- vitation to attend the dance. We haven't yet made up our mind. With us, the spirt is willing, but the old legs don't seem to function as we thought they used to. At that if should not be too hard for us, for all the dancing we have seen lately is done on the flat-foot principle, with the dancers clopping along like a m'lk wagon horse with the rheuimatism. We may attend at that. Surely there's nothing against a flat-foot editor attending a ball spon- sored by the Grey and Bruce Flatfool Association, and attended by dancers who slog around the floor with about as much grace as a nigger rolling baled cotton along the levee. â€" Dur- haan Chronicle.

Father And Son Banquet Enjoyed The annual Father and Son banquet was held in St. John's United Church on Wednesday evening of last week, when some 60 boys and their dads sat down to a splendid banquet was served by members of the C-G.LT. The guest speaker of Che evening was Mayor Eddie Sargent, who has been quite a worker with boys in past years, and his address was well re- ceived. A short toast list was prepared and following that to "'The King" and the singing of the National An- them, Jack Milne proposed a toast to the Church, which was responded to by Mr. J. Brackenbury, Superintend- ent of the Sunday School, who show- ed that the Church was tied up with everyday life and could not be set apart from our lives. The toast to the Dads was given by Dave McGee and a splendid reply was made by Mr. S. J- Stauffer. good citizens, and unged them never travel in coiniipany they would hate to bring home and introduce to "dad." David Aberdein expressed apprecia- tion of the assembly and thanked the CGIT and the helpers for the splend- id banquet provided. Eddie Sargent, youthful Mayor of. Owen Sound, was introduced by E 'v. -A.. G. Macpherson, who knew him as an active leader in boys' woi*k and while with the Air Force. Mayor Sargent remarked that the happiest time of his life was when he was connected with boys' work. He ui-ged the boys to think for them- selves and never be a ruibber stamp or "yes-iman*' to apyone. Canada needs leaders and these wll be secur- ed from the ranks of the boys of to- day, So never be a "y^s-man." He thought that education was wroi:;-': \ihen childer" were sent out mto the world without practical experience, and remarked that each boy should possess initiative above all things, but desire was imiportant. and there was nothing in the world that a boy can't achieve if he wishes ha.-d en- ough for it- The speaker gave sev- eral illusti-ations of material success achieved by many boys. Most of ii came from an ideal which was per- sistently followed out. All opportun- ities in life will not come unless we take advantage when it arises. Mayor Sargent spoke to the fatJiers on the lack of interest in government and urged them to encourage leader- ship among the boys . He stated that good men could not afford to go into government, which was deplorable as the country needs their leadership. He asked why do we tolerate Com- munism in Canada, whose leaders were trained in Russia. Stalin would like to have Canada under his dom- ination and ^vas doing everything he could to further that end. In closing his splendid address, Mayor Sargent urged the boys to chart their course on compass-read ings fram their dads and they would not go far wrong. Reeve Ken Betts e.\.pressed the ap- preciation of the presence of the gnaest speaker at the banquet and made the assertion that he wished there were moi-e boys with the ideals of Eddie Sai-gent. P. S. McDougal was an efficient Aainnan for the meeting and filled in with many atppreciated jokes. "Danny Boy" Smith gave several ap- preciative selections with his electric guitar.

Frankness Of Youth Many families are embarrassed by the frank remarks which their child- ren make when the parents the en- tei-taining visitors. Youth speaks its mind very freely. Older people learn to cover their real thoughts with polite words, but they have not usually learned that art. .A newspaper huanorist told about one youth who was watching a visit- or very closely- The visitor asked the youngster why he looked at him so observantly. The youngester remark- ed that he was just waiting so see him take his glass of water, as his father had said th«t this man drinks like a fish. Perhaps many youngesters say equally frank and disconceming things. They may be thought inap- ptxipriate. but if grown-ups more often expressed their thoughts with frankness, some people would get a clearer idea of what the world thinks about their conduct, and there is no influence as great as public opinion. â€" Hanover Post It's the little worms fault that the nuts now being gathered aren't what they're cracked ap to be.
