This winter has been a long and hard one and it'is flot over yet. Probabiy rnany people have been shovelling off their walks and cleaning out their driveways ail this winter. They have probably look- ed upon it as a good farm of exercise and just what they needed ta keep fit. The March snows are generally a littie heavier, for they carry mare maisture at this time. You are gaing ta find that you can't get sa much an that shovel and that you can't heave s0 far. Previously you have shovelled it around fairly easy, because it was lighter. Spring is just araund the corner you'i1 say anid ýu wiil go at the job with renew- ed activîty in the feeling that it war't be long now and it wvi1i soon be ail gane. You wiil be able ta relax in the old chair on the lawn and forget there ever was winter and snow. But we want ta issue a word of warning. This is the time when you do nat want ta exert yaurself taa rnuch - take it easy - the prababilities are you will live longer. When y.ou are getting up into those fifties, sixties and for same seventies, you are in the dangerous era, uniess you have practiced this kind of wark ail your life and are used ta it. This applies ta the women folk tao, who want ta get at the spring cleaning the first fine day that cames along. They can go at and start cleaning windows, paintwork and whatnot and soan find themnselves ail tuckered out. They "ain't what they used ta be" despite what they may think. Take it easy folks, do the jobs with a might more caution than you used ta and you will get them done. Take things a littie slower, don't put all yaur energy into a job ail at once, keep a littie in reserve. Don't keep at it until yau feel sa tired you can lay dawn beside thé work in sheer exhaustiait, you may neyer get up if you do. Heart attacks are about thé number oe kilier today. More and mare people are suffering fromn themn and quite a number neyer recover ta live, and none can do what they did before. Don't let your enthusiasm get the better of yau, be wise and stop ta think. Better take an hour langer than have ta do it in a few minutes. In the latter case, better flot do it at aIl. A commentator an education said re- cently that "high schools in the United States and Canada are wasting millions trying ta educate hoodlums who rieither can nor want nor deserve ta be educated."t Same educationists believe the age af com- pulsory school attendance should be re- duced from the age of 16 ta 14 an the grounds that ai 15 a youth may become wayward and irresponsible, chafe under the restraint af further schooling, develop bad habits and in taa many instances turn inta a hoodlum. The fact that tao many lads in their teens and early twenties appear in the criminal courts and are sent ta reforma- tories undoubtediy gives colour ta such Frequently words of wisdomn, brlght comnmenta and sound reasoning sprlng fram the pens of the philosophera on the 4housands of amail papers printed in North Amnerica. Recently D. S. Markhamn, editor of the Brodhead (Wis.) Independent Review, Wrote, "I don't know how newspapers gat into the world, and I don't think Gad does, for they aren't mentioned in the Bible. May- be the editor was one of the falien angels, for he seems ta' fali for about everything people tell him. "If the editor makea a mistake, folks "ay h. ought ta b. hung; if a lawyer makea a mistake, he appeale the case; when a doctor mnakes a mistake they say nothing, because they don't know Latin and they couldn't read his writing if they did. "A doctor can use a word a mile long, and it won't mnake any difference if h. knows what if means, for folks wiii think be'a educated, whiie an editor has ta b. able ta speli any word he uses. If the doctor goes ta see another man's wife, he Iour reading this week we came aeross these excerpts from "Thirty and Trhree", a series of essays by the brilliant Canadian author Hugh MacLennan, which we thought might give aur readers somne- thing ta think about: "If yau drap a storie into the ocean the impact is as great as if yau drap lt into a farmer's pond.

Odonw GEO. W. JAMES, EDITO bel.ief. There are educationists, however, who hold steadfastly ta the opinion that: "there is na such thing as a bad boy," and that tendencies towards mischief making assert themnselves only when the inex- perienced youth is denied praper aduit direction and fails ta find an occupation that would realiy interest himn and absorb hîs attention. We are lnciined ta this latter belief, and for that reason w. feel that when a lad faiis ta mnake pragress with Latin, histary, higher mathematics, etc., in his collegiate or high school he shauid be given vaca- tional training and the chance ta make himself a reupected citizen of his commun- ity rather than be stigmajized as refoarma- tory mlaterial. charges for the 'v1sit, while if the editor goes, h. gets shot.

Two-thirds of the folks in town are acre at the editor either because the paper said, something about them they didn't like or said something nice about somnebody aise." The editor might also have said: People like ta b. quoted as authorities over the coffee cup or in the beverage roomn, but if it geta into print they deny havin saidit. Thyare proud of an accurate pre- diction, but if reminded of an inaccurate forecast they seream that the editor is try- ing to ruin themn.

But the pond, if the stane is large enaugh, breaks into waves and ripples that caver its sur- face and are audible in every cranny aiong ifs banks. "Sa it is with ie in a metrapahis and life in a amall tawn. It takes a colossal avent ta affect a city. After the bombing of Hamburg in which 80,000 people were kiiied, the city was functroning within a few days. Grief did flot paralyze it be- cause, to the survivors, most of the casualties were people they had neyer met. But a single murder can convulse a smal tawn for the reason that in such a com- munity people care wha lives and who dies. They care because they know each ather. Ail knowledge is relative ta aur capacity ta grasp its details, and no mat- ter what the communists and industrial arganizers may say, no man can think humnaniy if he thinks in terms of masses. In the smail to'wn, and flot the metropolis, human life is understood in fundamental terms." The Kitchen of To-morrow Housewives, already among the mosf highiy mechanized creatures in modemn society, can now laok forward ta push- button kitchens according ta displays a! things-to-come unveiied recently by twa ieading manufacturers of househoid ap- pliances. "Tamorraw's kitchens" invoive eiec- tronics that are aimast frightening. Push- buttons change television programmes and swivei the screen towards the viewer by remnote contrai. A mere fIlick of the wrist answers the telephone and na-hands con- versations can be carried on from any point in the kitchen through an amplifier s3%tem. If nobody is at home, the tele- phone answers itself and takes messages. Such heavy food items as the Christmas turkey are carried by a tray hanging f rom runners in the ceiling. A motorized cart makea serving aimpier. It seems, indeed, as if housewives in "Tamorrow's kitchen" wiii b. able ta contrai everything by push-buttan except husbands. This will flot be necessary, o! course, because only the bravest maies wili even dare enter the littie woman 's electronie damain, where one mismove would have the toaster going up and down, doors opening and closing, pots and pans ildni n anid out ci view, afl at once._ 49 YEARS AGO (1906) Several attended the opening of A.O.U.W. Grand Lodge in Toronto. M. A. James, Past Grand Trustee, was appointed press reporter. J. B. Fairbairn in his remin- iscences of Bowmanville tells that James MeFeeters was one of his early teachers. Mr. Mc- feeters camie from County Ty- rone, Ireland, and became Bow- manville's first mayor. He kept a store on the site of the Mit- son Company premises and also went into milling at Tyrone. A more stringent liquor law was passed by the.Ontario Gov- ernment, providing among othrr things that aIl bartenders must be licensed and third offence by a licensee would cause cancel- lation of license. Prof. U. L. Squair, of Toron- ta University gave an exhibi- tion of scenes of Durham Couxi- ty and county personages, in the biaiagy building of the un- iversity. Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Bingham entertained members af the Presbyterian choir at an oys- ter supper at their residence, King St. Mr. Harman, Uxbridge, had taken a position as moulder in the foundry and joined the D.O. & P. Band. Mrs. Thos. Hoar, president of the W.C.T.U., presided at a Temperance Rally of the Sun- day Schools at the Methodi,;t Church. Ministers taking part were Rev. W. J. Cadman of the Disciples' Church, Rev. H. Mun- roe, Presbyterian, Rev. V. H. Emery. A by-law passed by Town Counicil granted to the Bow- manville Electric Light Ca. the privilege ta instali with thpir plant, The Stark Telephone Lig}1t & Power System in Bow- manville. Prior to the passing of the by-Iaw, a representative af the-Beli Telephone Ca. rais- ed objections and applied for a franchise, but was voted down. Two interesting items of par- liamentary news came from The Senate this week. No Change In Divorce After considerable debate, a private bill advocating changes in the divorce laws of Canada, was defeated 37 to 20. The bill proposed that grounds for di- vorce be enlargcd ta include cruelty, desertion for three years and incurable insanity. At present, in ail provinces having divorce courts, cxccpt Nova Scotia, adultery is the only accepted reason whichî may be given in a divorce case. In Nova Scotia, cruelty is also included. Newfoundland and Quebec have no divorce courts at all. During the course of the de- bate. the bill gained consider- able support and undoubtedly will be raised at a future ses- sion of either the Senate or the House of Commons. Frank- ly, its defeat brought a sigh of relief in many quarters because it was quite obviaus that if the bill was carried further ino the House of Commons, aIl the quite logical reasons for the changes would be incidentai with religiaus prejudices taking their place. A Travelling Committee Quite a departure from nor- mal procedure appeared in a Senate committee set up ta study the illegal narcotir situa- tion in Canada. In addition ta calling witnesses ta Ottaw.a, the cammittee plans ta follow the United States Congress pat- tern af visiting variaus jails and treatment centres in Can- ada and United States in order ta sce the probiemn at first hand. Chairman is Senator Tom Reid of British Columbia, w-cil- known and able parliamentar- ian popular around Parliament Hill for his bagpipes vhich sbrill through the corridors &t any given opportunity. Peculiar Coincidence A peculiar coincidence oc- curred this week. Defense Min- ister Ralph Campncy sent a let- ter toalal members advising that a tour ai the A. V. Roc aircraft establishment at Malton was planned for March 3th and re- questing us ta advise if we would like to attend. The day after the notice was reccived, a $.5,000,000 fire at Avro des- troycd one hangar, four plane7, and several top secret develap- ments which wc might have seen. We have not heard yet if the trip wili be -made. Time Has Expired Now and again there are some ligbter moments duning other- wise seniaus debates. During the External Affairs discussion on Thursday, Dr. J. L. Mac- Dougall. member for Vancou- ver-Burrard, and an orator af the aId school. was quoting the Old Testament at great length. As he came ta the end of his 40 minutes-the time allowc-d for speeches-he said.'"But Amasa took not hced ta the sword that was in Joab's hand: Sa he smate him thcrewith in the fifth nib and shed out his bowels ta the graund, and struck him not again: and he died."l At this point. the Depu- iv Speaker iiterrupteed w-*,h .This mig ht be a convenient j t=.e tauvie the lhan. maember 25 YEARS AGO (19310) High School Board decidedi ta make the new auditorium available for rent under certain conditions and restrictions. Fîre Brigade had a busy time, with four alarms in four days. Only seriaus fire wvas at A. W. Jacobs' bakery, whlch suffered seriaus damage. Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Short, parents of Mrs. F. R. Kerslake, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. The bridesmaid of 50 years aga, Mrs. C. Wickett, the bride's sister, was present,' and many frierids and relatives calied. A. L. Pascoe was elected president of the Durham Coun- ty Milk Producers at a meeting in Newcastle. About 65 members of the On- tario Legislature paid a visit ta the Boys' Training School. They were shown through by Superintendent Dr. G. E. Rea- man and H. C. Scholfield, M. P.P., chairman of the Boys' Welfare Board. Accqrding ta Toronto papers, Clarence and Merrill Ferguson, H. W. Pointen and Stanley Os- borne, ministry students, were assigned to mission fields in Northern Saskatchewan. Courtice - Relatives gather- at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. S.

U.S.A. Geta Protection There is considerable resent- ment toward the United States for its insistence on having, waivers inciuded in the Gen- eral Agreement an Tariffs and Trade, allowing them ta apply quotas and restrictions on im- ports af agriculturai products. Actuaily, according ta Mn. Howe, this is notbing new be- cause under an escape clause ln the agreement, they have been doing this in the past as many Canadian farmers can tcstify ta their sorrow. The new situation merely makes their position legal under the agree- ment. Apparentîy. there is strong pressure in the U .S.A. for higbcr protective measures in many fields, as indccd thene is in Canada at the moment. But, we are in quite a different position. Thcy only export 5% af their national pnaducts, Ilut we must cxpart between one- quarter and one-third ai ail we produce. For that reason, we cannaI be as tough about tariffis and quotas as the U.S.A. for fear essential markets may be closed to us as a reciprocai measune. Budget Comiag April 5 The unempioyment debate continues, but most membens have came ta the conclusion that nothing new will be donc until after the Dominion-Prov- incial preliminary confenence opens the end of April. The budget, af course, an April 5th will have a considerable effect on Canada's economy, but, un- less I am niistaken, there will be no great amaunt of pump- priming such as a big reduc. tion in incarne tax. It looks like another hold-the-line year with some minor concessions Ia the auto industry, corpora- tion taxation and othens. We wan't know dciinitely until about nine o'cîock that evening when Finance Minister Harris coneludes bis first budget speech. HAMPTONJ Mn. L. S.
