the canadian weekly newspapers aoctatlen and the ontarioquebec division of the cwjrf the editor s corner juvenile thieving in georgetown petty thieving involving a number of youngsters in town has been in increasing evidence this month 0 serious has this become that irate merchants will be forced to lay charges against those responsible unless this is stopped one local merchant suffered the loss of several jacknlfes while druggists have on several occasions missed cohilc magazines taken y these youngsters this is a problem which is serious and it demands the attention of very parent after all it is your responsibility to see that your child jeams the meaning of honesty one citizen told us the other day he saw m child in one of the drug stores deliberately slip a magazine under his oat and leave the store discussing it with th druggist the latter ex plained his own predicament unless he actually catches the thief in the act he is powerless to act if he went to iho parents chances are they would resent hfs insinuations that their child was a thief but the fact remains that some of these children are guilty of steal ing and the sooner parents know of this the easier it will be for all con- erned it is much better for a parent to correct his own childs mistakes than it is for the government to take over this duty for him the beet lan we can think of is for every parent to ktep a sharp lookout for new items in their childrens playthings if your boy has a new jackknife ask him where he got it if your girl has a comic magazine always on band ask her where she got the money to buy it remember that this is a serious problem which affects your childs welfare an appearance in juvenile court is not a pleasant experience for you or your child it is a far greater humiliation for a parent to know lhat his child has been publicly branded a criminal than it is for him to know that his child has been guilty of petty thieving and mete out his own punishment a scout troop would help last week we suggested that a scout troop would be a good thing lor the young people in georgetown since the above state of affairs has aeen brought to our attention we are convinced that a scout troop would toe an ideal instrument for helping to overcome the problem give our 3foung people some good healthy activity to replace the excitement of get- ting away with something from under the very eye of a merchant its all in what youre used to an article prepared by the health league of canada gives some interesting information on bathing customs we canadians steeped in cor saturday night tradition dont realize how lucky we are in russia lor instance the average citizen bathes once in eighteen months soap is unheard of and a bathtub costs as much as a grand piano in this country the laps and eskimos save themselves a lot of trouble they never feathe a friend of ours who spent several months in the mission field in northern canada said that teaching young eskimos the value of cleanli- 3ness was his hardest job they would sing hymns and listen to the bible stories quite willingly but when it came to bathing they practically had fto be dragged into the water the finns prefer steam baths they heat stones in a big oven then mplash water on the stones raising a great steam they sit in this steam jub themselves with epsom salts and then take a plunge into a snowbank the arab eschews water he rubs himself with the sands of the des ert in southwest africa a fourgallon tin of water costs 100 the jap anese bathe daily in water at 120 degrees f the private bathtub of a jap family is in full view of the street and the public baths accommodate koth sexes without embarrassment a lot to be thankful for once again our thanksgiving weekend comes and we canadians should realize how much we have to be thankful for in a world torn by war we are living on the only one of the four large continents whfch has mot experienced physical horrors of battle- more than that we can thank god that england the last stronghold of democracy on the conti nent is bloody but unbowed she has taken the cruel blows of a relentless adversary with characteristic british grit and she 1 slowly but surely shattering hitlers dream of world conquest lets hear no more grumbling from we canadians when asked to contribute to wars needs thanksgiving day is still a day for giving thanks may it always be so fire prevention week by proclamation of the governorgeneral the week of oct 8th-r- aath has been set aside as plrapreventipn week fire is an ever- jnresent menace to life and property and fire prevention demands our un ceasing vigilance be careful where you throw your cigarette butts keep chlnin keep matclies away from children be careful in using gasoline as a cleaning compound those are some of the avays you can help to avoid fires perhaps a word of praise is due at this time to our local fire btti- bde which is always on the spot when fire threatens mr- donald latl- aaer has replaced fire chief henry shepherd hi his absence as an instruc tor at mi training camp in the past much credit has been due to chlet shepherd for his efficient handling of the
