saucer were in the swim we can t help being optimistic about the progress to date of georgetown s new swim ming pool only an idea a few weeks ago it has al ready caught the public fancy and wherever people congregate at private or public affairs the talk swings that way best of all is the news that a fact finding committee representative of a majority of town organizations is already at work they will investigate the cost of building a pool a location for it unofficially we understand t m is wii ling to donate a clul owned lot beside the post office and the most important factor how the money will be raised of course there are dissenters who for one reason or another think the scheme is impractical and no one can say with any authority that the swimming pool is here there are many who remember previous op- thoughtless vandalism as georgetown talks of a swimming poo we are reminded of some thoughtless vandalism which has been discovered in the park a public spirited group of men have ta ken a lot of time and raised a lot of money to erect a building which will be of much use in future and which will add to the accommoda tion for the fall fair it is discouraging for these fair board members to find that during the past few weeks children have gained entry to the but give firemen a chance this summer the chamber of commerce hopes to establish some decent sanitary facili ties in the park and here too children should be warned not to tamper with valuable prop erty on the subject of thoughtlessness fire chief bill hyde has asked us to refer to what can be a serious situation

mr todd former ministerial st john s here said he had attended oneplay and noted the language and had been told that the same type of language had been used in many pro ductions death of mrs w v grant was a particular shock to the editor because only a few hours before she suffered a stroke she had been in the office to submit her monthly writeup of the women s institute meeting mrs grant had done this reporting chore for timism a quarter of a century ago others point to sad experience in acton and other towns where a campaign fizzled out without anywhere near enough money contributed- but we do think that there are no diffi culties which cannot be overcome with the right leadership and enough groundwork at present the committee has its hands full to prepare a comprehensive report we as in dividuals can do little except to fix in our minds what we can give in a lump sum and in itglmntinr one ran h- expected to make too big a financial sacrifice but no one should figure that a dollar bill will see the job through its only elemental arithmetic to split many thousands of dollars among a pop ulation of 3500 and come up with the right answer meanwhile we shall be awaiting the com mittee report hopeful that they may find a swimming pool a definite possibility ding which houses fair supplies and have caused disorder there as well as damaging the exterior of the building itself these young people are thoughtless as we all were at one time and yet their actions cannot be allowed to continue it behooves every parent to find out if his child was in volved and to deal with the matter himself if such things continue there will eventually be police action which isnt a nice thing and shouldn t be necessary be parked well away and off the street to give the brigade a chance to

faith and follow his teachings and commandments as closely as possible jesus words suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of god seem to show that god has a great desire that everyone should have a share in his blessings mr smith stressed the great re- sponsibihlity the sacrament of bap tism placed on all concerned indi viduals and churches alike to see fthat god s precepts are taught and practised and that a good example of true christian living is shown by all who profess christ s name mr smith told the girls and the boys about selim the persian boy who had a great desire to become a camel driver and how happy he was when his parents told him he could join the caravan and learn ito be a driver then came the day when the caravan was held up by robbers and they almost missed se lim because he was just a boy but one robber got hold of him and asked him boy have you got any money yes sir i have 3 gold pieces where arc they they are sewn in my tunic but why did you tell me i might never have found them the boy an suered when i left home my mother tol me to be kind to cv eryonc tp pray each day and to alwnys tell the truth the

methinj r seeking to or having others trying to persuade us to torn this or help pr imotc some othec so that wc are in danger of thinning out our time antl talent that very liltfe can be givftr to eieh this applies of course even u so many organizations and ob jcctives which are very much worthwhile and which should be encouraged and helped to our ut most yet so many that it behooves us to consider carefully where wo give our abilities this calls for selectivity in all our doings in our home life our employment in our after hours voluntary mork be cause all these require a faithful loyalty on our part if our efforts are to produce results which are worthwhile and which will give us the desired satisfaction from our labours and we must recognize too that our loyalty to en authority in each case to rules qr a cjde of conduct which unless adhered to destroys any usefulness from our efforts so many different activ i tics with their different rules and codes nre liable to bring us into votiflktink authorities so it is se if evident wisdom on our part to seek ind tram hie highest author ity in nil our rhokt s know where to seek that god s precepts and commandments jesus learnings and ex itnplc of living all give us the highest authority for our pro per use of the time and talent which has been given us so we should ask ourselves ere we promise our abilities to further tasks is it christian is it what jesus would wish me to do with my time does t fit in with his plan for the way i should live if wc fit in with these we should have no conflicting authorities no conflicting loyalties andfwhat we are doing should be at its highest level of usefulness end worth miss betty king was at the piano for the service of praise monuments pollock campbell 02 water st
