Creditable Performance Every so often somebody cames ta the front advocating a new idea about taxes, in which the other fellow pays bis rightful share. Well here is another idea you migbt pass an ta the assessor the next time he makes bis officiai cail for the 1954 assessment roll. The item appeared in a Saskatchewan paper, wbicb rends: "Why flot tax the man wbo lets bis praperty go ta wreck, rather than the man who keeps bis property in good condition? As it is at present, the man wbo emplays the painter and the carpenter ta make bis place of residence more attractive and who thus improves the appearance o! the whole neighborhood is penalized by increased taxation, while the man wbo allows bis property ta become an eyesore, and thus decrease the value o! bis neighbor's prop- erty, is encouraged in bis neglect by reduced taxation. The slightest change in -~3ù}t~~ -! -aproperty, even ta the extent of a storm porcb, neyer fails ta catch the eagle eye o! the assessor, who incidentally, is employed and paid by the assessment commission in Regina-not by the town." The Importance of Music "Musical training is a more patent fnstrument than any other, because rhythm and barmony find their way inta the inward places o! the soul," wrote Plato. In what other words could we describe the importance of music or the value o! musical training for aur rîsing generation. Plato's words o! wisdom supply ail the reason necessary for youngsters ta be given the benefit o! music lessons, no mat- ter whether it be vocal or instrumental. It is encouraging to sêe the entry lists for the variaus music festivals *expanding yenr by year, and young people taking a greater interest in music generally. A record number o! young people from Durham County competed in this year's Kiwanis festival at Peterborough, and more scholarships, trophies and medals were awarded than ever before. Many youngsters have competed in the festival during past years, and al bave brought praise and honor ta themselves, their music teachers, their famîlies and their communIt-les. The benefits derived Srom the competitions are many and traried. The advantages wbich bave accru- k.ld ta young and old are incalculable. ge This week rnnny youthful pupils are =ryinig examinations set by the Royal Con- )e rvatory o! Music and aur besi wishes iee extended ta their success. Our hope lthey will continue their musical career Sthey will fnid music is a great asset, «'atever hune of work they pursue.

Mcail post Off ice Departm.at, Ottawa Bowmanville, Ontcria GEO. W. JAMES, EDrroit From ail accounts those who attended the band concert put on by the Public Sehool Band last week were high in their praise of the noticeable progress these young musicians had made since their initial appearance a year ago. It's a slow process to work up a juvenile band from scratch and requires a lot of patience and long hours of prectice, but the pupils are showing remarkable results. Considerable credit also goes ta Mr. D. C. Peters, Direct- or of Music in the schools, who heart and soul has been a real f actor in this com- mendable movement. It is flot too much to look forward to the day when our school band wîll reach the height of excellence of the Swif t Cur- rent Boys' Band which visited Newcastle last September when many of our citizens heard this talented group of bandsmen. We were pleased to see the following comment in last week's Swift Current Sun about their boys' banid: "While the rest of the province is con- gratulating the Swift Current Boys Band, the citizens are deep in their hearts, quiet- ly and modestly, very proud of their achievement in again wlfnning high honors, this time with top award at Moose Jaw's International Band Festival, and with such a wonderful score of 98 marks, and also the junior section for placing second in the marchiiig. "The band continues ta be a powerful medium of good advertising for Swif t Current and we think the time, inoney and effort spent on them through the generosity of the people of the city and district is still paying off. It is hoped that when Charlie Warren, (son of Charlie Warren, native of Newcastle), relinquish- es the baton that it xill be handed over to some other worthy conductor who will maintain the same traditional standards of excellence that has always character- ized the Swift Current Boys Band since its inception as an organization." Looking Back to Olden Days This is truly a day and age o! rush which drives some ta distraction wbile others accumulate stomach ulcers or are relegated ta honorary membership in the Coronary Club. Instead o! bitehing the horse and buggy or democrat up ta a tie post in front o! a store or parking it in the livery staîl, nearly everybody is rushing madly around using up a lot o! energy trying ta find a parking place for the auto or truck. We are in a mad, mwhirlpool of an age, wbere the amenities o! life seem ta be forgotten and with many neyer learned at aIl. We sornetimes wonder why certain people don't wnnt fast trne; goodness knows they live on fast tirne. Bawmanviîîe ini the old days the towns!olk knew most o! the country folk within thirtv miles. They had plenty o! time ta, do the things that some people deplore wve bave lost. Bowmanville today is a community of new faces, dashing cars and trucks, auto horns bonking; every- body seems ta be going some place in a hurrv. Yes, we think we've lost some- thing. The capacity ta relax, and think, ta enjoy nature standing still instead o! at 70 miles an hour with a radio blaring ful blast. But we have ta keep pace with the changing wonld or fali by the wayside; keep pace and gct ulcers. One man said ta us the other day, "I made less money in the aid days. buti'l was happier". T7he burning question is, as Councillor Walter DeGeer intimated reeently, do we want a bigger Bowmanvlle-inonetarily speaking, or do we wvant the placid days o! yester- year, wben every customer meant a baud- shake and a passing over o! the cbaw o! tobacco?. Take your choice . . . but we bave ta take wvhat we get . . . and we're getting it now, a town a-boorning with new houses on many streets and new families ta occupy them.

A. Rab- erts, chie! o! mental beaith for the Department o! National Heaith and Welfare, in an article in HEALTH. Every citizen has a share in the responsibility for re- moviné& the conditions lu aur communities which cause or con- tribute ta these troubles. "The more we study drug ad- diction, juvenile delinquency, and even the problems o! aur ngiug citizens, the more we realîze that these result fromn a failure o! aur present social patterns ta nieet adequateîy the needs o! the in- dividual," wnites the Psychia- trist, "Wc are justifiabiy proud o! our standard of living as men- sured by the material things iA provides in aur enviroument.
