pact two tut acton frii iki a ion ontario rilursday ffbruary 25 im that horseless buggy when the horse and buggy went out of com mon usage on this country s roads and the horse less buggy was introduced the new vehicle was equipped with a notsemaker referred to as a horn the earlier fype horn had the bulb on the end and took some energy to put into operation today s successor to thejoulb type horn is the automatic horn complete with hom ring that can be put into operation without a second thought since blowing the horn has been made 10 easy it is natural that more use is made of it and to a disgusting extent in many cases naturally th city streets emphasize the use of the hom but in the smaller centres its use while maybe not as frequent can often be used in an unfortunate man nerj weve seen older people crossing the streets and a motorist approach quite close before shat tering the nerves of the pedestrian with a blast from the too easily reached horn of course where there is a traffic tieaip it seems almost inevitable that some motorist ex presses his disapproval and self importance by leaning on the born and for no helpful reason nctcrtibf metnewsked spmctontarge which we live has increased the necessity of the car horn as a warning when passing other cars and as a disciplinary reminder to the shaky driver but it is not meant to shatter nerves of older people and anger other drivers before you blow your horn think of the effect it might have on the one you direct the blast at and remember your horseless buggy is not for the annoyance of pedestrians reading brwn th uni should acton fluoridate water or are childrens teeth healthy r t brotherhood week this is brotherhood week it s a time when men of different social religious political and ethnic identity are urged to recognize and em phasize the sympathies of humanity it s a time and regrettably a time of only a week s duration when acts and attitudes of brotherhood which should be common the whole year are promoted for seven days more or less perhaps this reflection tinges of bitterness but when the worlds statesmen and politicians continue to achieve discord over foundations for peace when the worlds religious leaders and theological scholars manage every year to drag in some spat of doctrine before the public when a man s color or birthplace still remains an insidious determinant of his social and economic achieve mentwhen these are considered there is perhaps rel5 for bltterness we have no obection to brotherhood week and its aims the mere fact that the need was recognized and men were concerned enough to make efforts to meet the need is proof that bonds of brotherhood do exist and can be foster ed for the good of all the unsavory characteristic of the whole scheme is the continual emphasis on tolerance ignorance breeds fear not long ago canadian papers and periodicals made a mighty editorial outcry pro and con but mostly con over the rantings of a british colum bia mayor to have his city s library stripped of all books and papers which suggested their political color might be the least bit red we trust the mayor s face is sufficiently red after the indignant blast of criticism and censure he got for his illconsidered remarks censorship in its tenderest state is a revolting and gritty pill for any intelligent mind to taste there are many forms of censorship some so stealthy we often fail to realize they exist others so common we forget they exist and still others sc obnoxious we refuse to accredit their presence but of all the shapes of censorship the kind that is the most despicable is censorship which would warp and whittle the minds of children and men into a frame of understanding with only one shaky dimension the process of this distor tion can be induced slowly over years by meth ods such as the mayor of victoria upholds or it can be swept quickly effectively by means em ployed in russian indoctrination schools and tor it is presumptuous on themtelligence of can adians and ridiculous in a democratic nation that book burning should be necessary necessary presuming that necessity was the mayor s motive to satisfy a need a need to eliminate the fears and insecurity which musf then characterize our way of life if there are great empty pockets of faithless ness in democracy in this country then the way to fill them is not with the blackened ashes of burn ed books faith and security in a freedom will be nourished with the understanding and knowledge that comes from having many more books on touched by fanatic censors not only with books but as the detour signs and roadblocks are removed from the paths of other vehicles of information we will be able to disentangle truth from the twisted mass of in difference and falsehood for only as the sources of knowledge good or bad are retained and left unhindered can fears be quashed and made rootless its ignor ance more than anything else that breeds fear symbol of aid
