writing is a means of communication but whevi no ono but the writer can read the writing it is not good for anything too often young girls and boys gra duate from collegiate and their writing can be read by no one but themselves in some cases it is an illegible scrawl and again it may be as uneven and shaky as the writing of a cenetar- ian there seems to be a lack somewhere in the school system in the commercial classes special attention is given to spelling and pen manship classes are stressed in the matricu lation classes the course or study requires pen manship in only grade nine and the spelling classes are discontinued in grade eight of public school since writing and spelling are far more important in our dajly life than latin or greek perhaps the average- student could use three or four hours a week to more advantage with pen manship and spelling classes than with other subjects which are now part of the curriculum and which are forgotten two months after the student finishes school the average employer we could say all em ployers does not want an employee who can not spell correctly and whose writing cannot be read without difficulty it is logical that an employer who has hired a young person with collegiate education has the right to expect that person at least to write legibly and spell correctly it is our opinion that there is just as much need to continue spelling

cooling dip and an afternoon in swimming these facilities take time and money to provide the committee appointed by the citizens has made n thorough canvass of acton citi zens if every wageearner in acton industry had given 10 the total raised now would be 10000 a number of wagccamcrs gave more than that amount but then for many excuses another group gave nothing or delayed their de cision and the total is now 4000 short of this first objective its not too late to improve the situation the amount can be raised but its going to take another 4000 to reach this first phase of the campaign if the folks of acton and district want a swimming pool for next summer the time to say so is now and now its dollars that count 1000 of them it could happen to you sunday afternoon we travelled that rather busy highway to niagara falls and just before reaching burlington beach wc noted a car ahead swerve from side to side of the road first on the gravel and then into the other line of traffic the traffic line was halted as the swing bridge over the canal was raised and the car came to a crazy halt as it struck the bumper of the car in front when the bridge was lowered the line proceeded and the erratic driver delib erately cut into the east bound line scraped the fender of one car and locked bumpers with the next car the cars were untangled and the comment of one driver as he passed our car was drunk as a hootowl the line proceeded with the weaving driver and finally it pulled out of line and onto the beach it was a woman driver and after another look at the double line of cars she barged in again and headed back for toronto wc dont know the conclusion of the wild ride but per haps the police have the last chapter and per haps she made it wherever she was going there are miracles today just as in other days but wc couldnt help recalling an exhibit at the cne of a car all smashed up and shown under the department of the attorneygeneral hon leslie blackwell we recall
