SCOUTS SALVAGE DRIVE SUCCESSFUL During the past year Orono Boy Scouts have colleced 111,760 lbs. of salvage, which realized $568.83. The troop--comprised of 14 boys and the indefatigable Scoutmaster J. J. Mellor-bas aiso contributed over $30000 to war services. Only five districts were touched in the township before winter set~ in. The others will be canvassed in the spring, thereby stili funther in- creasing the money in the treas- ury. Altbough the resuits are very gratifying it is well known that more salvage could be secur- ed if the public gave better co- operation.

DANCE COLOURFUL SOCIAL EVENT The event most eagerly antici- pated by the staff, students and ex-sudents of O.C.S. is the Christ- mas dance which is always one of the colourful and select social events of the year, and this year's dance, held on Friday, and which was attended by about 200, was no exception. The decorations were very at- tractive in spite of the ruling against tree lights. The stage was decorated with red and green streamers from wbich dangled silver stars) and three large let- ters 0.0.S. The centre was a vani- coloured eight-sided i n v e r t e d pyramid from which dangled three large red belîs and from which red and green streamers reached to the four corners of the room. On the walls were cut- outs of trees and reindeer, while the windows had red and green roping and 0. C.S.'s on them.

Before gîvîng an! outline of optometry and the optometrist I cannot leave the above remarks witbout adding or stressing the importance of study to the parents, teachers, school nurses, doctors and optometrists, that they may each know their limitations and responsibilities to society wben sight-saving means so much. The mucb well-trodden paths lead us to the brancbing avenues whicb to-day is necessary to meet with the newly acquired condi- tions branching off fnom the old standing conditions and neces- sarily cneated by the ever-cbang- ing conditions of our modern hf e. (to be continued) The writer is putting on record some thoughts as they occur to him during the press and stress of the times we are living in. Everything is being tested as to its value to the commonweal. Many of those things we did and do, and thought we had need of samne, seemi to have lost value in face of outstanding heroism that is matched by the suffering of the belpless, who number among themn many of the truiy great and brave. Youth on the tbreshold of self- expression and the responsibility of self government, with ail the possibilities that naturally belong to that state, is called by the stress of present conditions, to give him- self, with ail that implies, and the so-called supreme sacrifice is daily exacted. There is something that strains the imagination to grasp the mag- nitude of his human loss to time and posterity. Equally so, is it be- yond our power to grasp the world wide mental and physical suffering endured in this world wide struggle. This disruption of the regular is bringing into sharp contrast the general standard of life and liv- ing that has suddenly confronted ail witb the consequently neces- sary demands authorized by the People and enforced by the gov-_ ernment. The FREE NATIONS are as one in the recognition of the need. Some of the things stili being done by the comparatively free, now seem in the light of necessity s0 cbildish that it is self-evident they have no furtber value... save possibly to aid stifle a troub- ling conscience that makes a "smoke screen" to bide what is possibly, an evasion of obligation. The weakness of our past oc- cupation in socalled periods of leisure, now points the accusing finger at wasted time. Unfortun- ately, the feeble standards have the tendency to build up self- complacency. The forced exami- nation of what ougbt to be in the face of what is, our awakened sense of past avoidance of solemn responsibility in order to keep up a socalled social round . . . gran- diloquent phraseology to describe that "Mrs. Jones" card party was more'elaborate than Mrs. Anyone ...is not conducive to creating a robust mental and moral atmos- phere, now the hour bas struck and sacrifice is called for . .. and we have staggering contrasts. The -orced-exaination of tbings is confronted with the awakened sense of what should be, and the background needs to be hid in "Bluebeard's cupboard." Ail those tbings that the worthy have striven for in the past stand now in strong relief against the background of wbat was and still, in many quarters, is the logical product of low aim. For men and women to indulge in many occu- pations that in the past occupied and beld their time and attention, must, at least to some of tbem, bring to the cbeek the blush of self reproacb. But Wbittier in bis poem, The Reformer, insists that what can be destroyed in many directions, is man made. With a great vision he dlaims that the eternal verities cannot. The grossness of the Ger- man and Japanese mode and method of doing as tbey are, is its own condemnation. Some one bas said, "You cannot break the law, the law breaks you." A voice is reported to have said, "It is bard for tbee to kick against the pricks." And it will always be. The wages of sin is deatb. Legal M. G. V. GOULD, B.A. L.L.B.
