THURSDAY, JULY 27th, 1933 Minding One's Own Business Adults and Young folk can always gel new inspira- tion from the writings 0f the modern philosopher, Harry Emerson Fosdick. So we quote the following from his pen: Decisive dealing with one's own if e is always a major problem in youth. Over twenty years ago a Hungarian boy, wbose ancestors had toiled in povemty for centuries on a faim in the Carpathian Mount- ains. landed at the port of New York. He arrived poor in family and friends. and having heard Ihal ail wealth came from Pittsburgh. he went there. Too Young to work he went into a httel kitchen and washed dishes. Trying teo size up the reasons for America's superior opporlunities. he put his finger on education. Then he woked by day and studied by night. When he graduated from high school he womked bis way tbrough one o! the first-rabe univer- sities and graduated with honors; he worked his way through Harvard law School. New he is associated with a leading law firm in New York Ciby and a year ago he was admitted te the bar. Many flrst rate qualities of charicter beiped to make possible such an achievement but at the heart of ail of them was this primary virtue, that Young man decisively and efficiently took charge of himseli. How different is the life of many of our youth Instead of putting responsibility on them, we sur- round them f rom the time they are born with every comfomt that money can buy. To a mature mind knowing the humble breeding places o! great ability. such wel-to-do homes run by indulgent parents propbeczy no superioriby in the childmen who are reared there. But how shall the children know that? To live in a fine bouse, surrounded by a commodjous envir9anmenl, to be pampered and protected, te have money tb spend, leisure te enjoy, te move in the best circ'les - how subtly these so called advantages wtave their spell around the growing children. Lif e looks easy. They learn to trust their fortunate cir- cum.stances. fnot tbemselves. In Scott's phrase, tbcy count a fine set of china to heighten tbe fiavor of indifferent tea. The esuit is often worse than wild- ness; the esuit is indecisiveness. iresponsibilitsy, a meandeming, irresolute, procrastinating life that nev- er arrives. And in youth indecisive procrastination is f atal. The marvel of living when we are Young is that life is a fairy land o! possibilities. When a youth says that he bas flot yet decided whether he will be a civil engineer, or a landscapc arbist, or a lawyer, or a professional aviator. or a clergyman, we have to take hlm seriously. He may be any one of these. The doors are open. He is Young. But wc Who have reached maturity have ahl these years been growing familiar with the sound of closing doors. The range of our possible choices is narmowing down. There are some things on eatb we can neyer do now. It is too, late. Happy the youth who takes charge of his life in lime, makes worthwbile decisions about the loyalties, purposes, and ambitions that shahl con- trol him, and finds his work in the world and mas- ters it! Behind most 0f the sbilly-shallying of young peo- ple is the idea that they can bluff life througb with- out tackling the problem of themselves. It is a vain hope; life has been at the game for a long time and knows aIl the moves. To many a youth wealth ap- t pears omnipotent, sa that to possess it seems a suf- 1 ficient substitute for seriously wrestling with oneself. 1 The fact is, however, thal great possessions only throw a man back upon bimsclf. For there is an c important difference between possession and owner- c sbip; possession is having tbings: ownership is bbc enjoyment and appreciative use of tbings. Said the t poet te Dives, *'The land is yours, but tbc landscape is mine." Possession concerns whab a man has in bis hands-, ownership, what a man is in himself. Open Season for Practical Jokers 1t Instead o! bavîng an open season for ducks. pheas- ants or wvhat bave you, why not change it to practîcal jokers? We believe theie would be mucb mare sat- isfaction in bbc procesaï and thbcocunbry could be assured o! impravement. The most recent joke Ihat bas been recorded taok place in Tyronle wberc twa fine hamas, l "ail-pipcd." galloped inta bbc village wibb lin cana ratbling on the gr'ounds at their heels, crashed into a car. in- juring one horse sa that it bad to bc abat, and put- ting bbc other in a condition that will probably leave il a nervous and undependable animal for bbc rest o! ita ife. And bbc anly excuse was that. bbc per- petrabors didn'btbink wbhat migbt bappen and anly did ib for fun. Tbougbtless acta have resulted even more sciously than this one. It was nal so long ago that a man In a local factory was resling on a large bell wbcn anothen sbaîtcd the machine ta, give the sîceper a jolI and instead drcw bim into tbc machine ncanly cnusbing hlm ta deatb. Practical jokes arc evenyday occurrences, but o! len resuît in aciaus badily injury. Sucb a seemingly little lbing sucb as pulling a chair froni under a per- son. bas injured many persans. Another wise tr'ick Is coming up behind a pewrsan and slapping bhcmr on the back wibh great force. More than anc pair o! false eetb bave been thrown 10 bbc pavement on knocked dowvn bbc victim's Ibroat. One tbougbbless act on tbc part o! a fcw matai'- ists is ta, appraach a persan and try'ta sec bow close tbey can came ta the pedestirian wthaut hittîng bii. Or rushing ta a stop street and slamming on bbc brakes. If bbey didn't wark there might be 'cur- tains" for someone. At camps and beaches there is a good deal o! tbougbtlcss joking that Ès dangeraus. Pushing peo- ple off bbc dock ia a plan that will, If continued, more thanIi ikely bing bbc life guard int action.

THE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANIqvnj, THURSDAY, JULY 27th. 1933 The Annual Picnic - Long May lit Li Newspapers are crammed full o! reports o! f e-unions. church and Sunday school picnics other happy gabberings. Theme is nothing quibe so enjoyable as the ai picnic in the aumimer time. Especially the f, picnic where evemy member o! the clan.eagerly a the day. -When that day arrives, the folks quit and leave caly for the scene of .lbe celebro Usually the fist few boums are spent in meelini friends and getting acquainted wilb the young that will carry on the picnics in the future. year's picnic always comes in for a great dez discussion as to .just who won the bail game, tbei ried men or the single, and whelhem Mms. So an was present. When pretty well aIl the connei has assembled the races begin. These are o! n vaieties and most o! themn are handed downJ generabion to generation, allhough a new one br into the scene evemy now and then. Threading needle, pobato race, finding the right shoes in a and tbat old favorite, eating a soda biscuit, witli firsI one whose wbistlc is wel enough to chimp Save the King, the winnem, are a few o! the1 Evemy person, except the haIt, the blind, the ageÉ tbe afflicled, enter these conlests and the f un la generated is wonderful 10 behold. Then, for some, the most enjoyable part o! picnic arrives, the dmnnem, Tables are piled so1 witb food that they strain and groan under the 1 den. But not for long. With appetiles whettec tbc races, the hungmy hordes dig into the maze sandwiches, cake, lemonade, somelimes chicken ice cream. but always delicious pics, and soon b are being loosened and certain overzealous o groaning in apparent agony. But they gnin and b it and soon the food has nearly ail disappearedî everyone bas le! t for the baIl field. At the bah !field, the married men and tbc sir men make up the two teams, while their support: wives and sweebbearls galber on the sidelinesa cheer lustily. And as bbc sun is sinking 10w, the crowd brei up. thomougbly tired out, but happy and content with a lopic o! conversation that will lasI fort wbole year. May Ibese functions neyer die, buti cease in popularity so thal every person may included in at least one picnic a year and tbusj real enioyment out 0f living that cannot be oblair by any othem method. - Legal or Illegal ? Let's Decide bced in- be gel .ied Lotteries, raffling and ail games cf chance, are, according 10 official law, strictly illegal. There are no clauses legalizing tbem, whetber tbc proceeds are 10 be utilized for relief, crippled children, 10 eect a new town pump, or 10 psy off tbc morîgage on tbc old bomeslead. The law says no. But following the wam a new regime came into being wbere the gov- ermients considered thal where tbc money raised was for a good purpose tbey would close one eye and lobk at the sky witb the other. And so bbe practice bas coninued unlil both eyes have closed and raf- fles and lotteries have become almost a habit. Recently citizens were ruffled wben tbc auto wbicb the Rotary Club was raffling to obtain money for one o! bbc fineat causes in the world. the crippled children, %vas seized with lhree local boys who were seliingý tickets in Guelph. A fine was imposed by the Guîelph police magistrale and bbc publicity given bbc seizure almost stopped the sale o! tickets in oulside points. The wbole malter seems uncalled for. If the prai lice is illegal why not lct the governmcnt condem: it and issue warnings that will immediabely stop an organization f romn entering on sucb a proposition Or if il is to be condoned and overlookcd as domn a good work, wby not make il legal for an organiza lion te run any type a! gambling juat so, long as lbi proce-eda are ta be entirely devoted 10 cbarity or re. lie! o! some nabure?
