He was born in Clarke Township, son of the late John and.Jane Jeweli. For many years he was a well known farmer in Clarke and Darlington Townships and took an active interest for many years as a director of West Durham Agricultural Society. He was a quiet, unassuming. friendly man who neyer souglit public office elthougli well informed in ques- tions of the day. He was a staunch Liberal in polities.

People ravelled and came back with ieas that were distributed. Sun- day was a day of worship and the many churches were fiile-d with people eager to gain spiritual sustenance. The srnail town, with its week- lnewspaper, is the backbone of ,ve.rv country, and a goodly por- on of a country's great men and momen were reared in the srnahl )oWn. Most came from humble rigin.

In those days there was greater stablity, ýthat is greatly needed now. There is the* rising tide of socialismn and commtunsm-it must be met. The approach today wili be dif- ferent from the approach of a hundred years ago. The task now is to examine some of these difficulties-that will be the sub- jeet of a later story. It was cold outside. Lye in the volcanic ash when Alaska's Mt. Katmi erupted lih 1912, stripped the regional Kodial bears of their fur. An unabridged dictionary in Braille requires 32 volumes. Theres' nothing like being sure how you "feel" about your know- lalces. More than any other agency was this steamship line instrumental in the dezrelopment of the Muskoka District. As much as the steamboata of the' Mississippi and the sailing ships of the New England States and the Maritimes. are they a part of the Muskoka Lakes. To-dày modern highways bring the mot- orists to ail corners of this lovely lakeiand where cruise ships stil] ply these waters as they did over eighty years ago. Early the next mornipg we are awakened by the whistle of the "Cherokee" and as we arise we find our cruise shîp pulling away from the dock, retrading the course of yesterday. The same course, yes, but a dîfferent at- mospheme for it was afternoon when we saileed up the lakes and it is morning now. A side trip t make a special port-of-call and once again we reach Port Carling, make our "meet" with the sister ships, and "lock-through." P t is noon as we arrive at our journey's end. Ship's belîs jangle as from the bridge comes the signal for "Slow," and then "Full Speed Astern." A whirlpool forrns above the churning propeliers as they reverse their cycle, the, re- freshing lake breeze refuses to foliow us into port, the 'Cherokee' eases into the dock and our cruise is over. But next year we'il conye back and take th at cruise again. r Here are six -ays to improi'e your relationships with othcr people through conversation. .1. Think before you speak. Resuit: you'1l expreýss yourself more clearly and to the point. And you'll avoid blunders. 2. Be a good listener. Con- versation should be like a garne in which the bail is tossed back and forth arnong the p layers. No one should hog the bai. 3. Be tactful. Remember, contradictions arouse resent- me nt. 4. JJraw out the other fellow. lt's the only way to get to know him.' Let your attitude reflect appreciation, kindness and per. sonal interest. 5. Rclax. Smile. There was one great chance o! speedy ecovery. The United States, in wealth and reseurcea, is new the eutstanding nation o! the world. It was in a position to f111 the place long occupied by Great Britain. If, at the start cf World Mar 1, the United States lad entercd promptiy and then, when it was over, had fommed the Atlantic Paet theme would hace been no World War IL. Alas, nameiy can man feresee the future. Who coulà have imagined when Lindbergh fiew fhe Atlantic that there miglit carne a day when fhe bornbing of almeat any country in the m-orld could be accomplished from an Amemican base or con- veseiy that Washington and New York. physicaily speaking, were within bombing range o! Europe. In a world where force was sup- rençe we c'ouid net then anticipate haw much power might be used. TIe Uoited States 'stili has its oppotunit-is using it in part. The Atlantic pact is a reality- financial assistance has been ex- pended by the United States with a geoercsity of which ne other nation was capable. One more stcp shculd be taken, The United Stafes should now occupy thc field into which Britain stepped over a century ago . The United States should break down hem own tarif! barriers-do it alone.i A nicli hanvest would follow such action-nicher stili if other ban- riens weme ]owered .

There was a war, Britain was in fmom the start. Thie Commonwealth and Empire is-scattemed over the face cf the earth.
