T4h Tuamndian statemn, eowmmnville, july 7, 11;43 EDITORIAL COMMENT Forever Female WhY is à ship always referred ta as "she"' Because the vital statistics depart- ment of Cunard Lines is asked this question s0 frequently, it decided ta set the record straight for ail time. Among the reasons: She's ail deck- ed ouI and oflen well stacked. She has a waist and stays and requires a lot of rigging. Bows and belîs are standard eqiment and she has pleasing lines froUm stem ta stern. When you wanî bo The Law Magistrale R. B. Baxter of Port Hope convicted Claude A. Bowers of driving wilhouî a licence this week with an unusual comment. The accused had been convicted the previous day of impaired driving, an offence which carnies an automaîic suspension of a clriving licence. On the charge that Magistrale Baxter heard, the accused's lawyer argued Ihat the suspension was flot then valid because the certificate of conviction had flot been deait with by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles. He argued furîher Ihat no evidence had been produced from the Registrar that the licence had indeed been suspended. His worship's reply ta this was that the accused was trying la take advan- tage of lechnicalities. Had he corne into court and pleaded guilty, he implied, attract her attention, a whistle Is the appropriate signal. Cunard suggests that there's no doubt about a shîp's gender because when enterîng port she immediately heads for the buoys. But the final proaf is ta be found when it's realized that it's not her ini- tial expense that breaks you - it's the upkeep. Il takes a lot of paint la main- tain ber best appearance. -Financial Post at Work the accused's good intentions (other evidence had been presented of these) may have been sufficient ta gain him a dismissal (?) on the charge of driving without a licence. We do flot argue againsi the con- viction, but il was aur understanding that an accused persan had every right ta take advantage of the law when it was in his favour, whether it be on a point of law or on a technicality. This, indeed, is how the law is lested and nevised to improve il as an instrument af justice. Obviously the Magistrale in Port Hope thinks atherwise and accus- ed persans must be prepared la pay the penalty af cantrary advice f nom their lawyers in Ihat court. -Peterborough Examiner From The Peterborough Review R an Haggart ai The Toronto Star wrole an inîeresting column the other day titled: "Middle-aged Sag in the Wel- fare State." His article centred araund the "flabby spots wbicb aven flic years have builî up witbin tIcelinemplay- ment Insurance Commissian." H-e cited several instances to show that Unemployment Insurance Funds provide a small gold mine for many people in Ibis great country ai ours. One paticular instanoe: Tbe men behind the wickets wba take your money at the Waodbine race track, can, if tbey want ta, take a four-month holil- day every year and stilI average a 52- week incarne af $95 a week. The clerks bebind the parimutuat Windows at the Jockey club's race- tracks gel $22 a day ionr(lie season which hasts about 32 weeks. Tbis gives them $132 a weck while they'nc at ---work, an annual income ai '$4.224. When the clerks are laid off, fthe 'v can receive 20 xveeks ai unemplnyment Insurance payments amaunting ta $36 a week for thase witb dependents, $271 & week for those wha are single. A married man will Iherefane ne- ceive another $720 from the unemploy- mient insurance fund, giving hlm an average salary lhrougbout. the year af $95 a week, for wbicb lie works eig htr znonîhs, while actually aitIthnack lier deposits only $30.08 intoîte unemploy-t Iment insurance iund.

Unemployment Insurance Fund Is SmaII GoId Mine for Some 1&6dJoungman'E «Recently, we received a letter from our son, Gord, who lives at Calgary, in which he enclosed a clipping from an Alberta newspaper, listing the names of the familles and their tribes entitied to accommodation in the Indian Vil- lage at the Calgary Stampede, begin- ning July 5th. Some of the Blackfoot Tribes' names were: One Gun; Ben Caif Robe; Dick Brass and Anthony Youngman. Among the Stony Tribe's names, we noticed Bill Bearspaw; Nat Hunter, George Crawler; .Jacob Two Youn g- min; Walking Buffalo, and Murphy Two Youngman. AS a ru le, my wife isn't suspiciaus ofmy actions, but since that newspaper cipping arrived, she has grilled nme about the limes that I hung around the 1'Indian Village, some years ago, at the Stampede. At that time, she accepted the excuse that, 1 was interested in how the older womcn coaked on the open fires. Now she wants to know what was "cooking" with the younger ladies away fram the fires. The next lime I frolic with any of those dusky belles, 1mgoing to use a nom de plume, so t h ey won't be sa free with the name ofa Youngman. When 1 mentioned going ta the fa rden Stampede this year, Butch promptlv on in invited her mother ta spend a fartnight ýotarY here, and of course, mather pramptlv hi the came. She's ninety-six, quite spry. and left, iri spile af being about haif mrny weight, is able to hully me around like a ser- geant-majar, but 1 stili think she's the nicest mather-jn-law possible, and al- ways welcome ai our home.

When riches take wvings, and repulation falîs ta îpieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun la its jaunney tbraugh the h ea yens. If fortune dri\ves the master forth an autcast in thie world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks na hîgh- en privelege than Ihal ai accompany- ing him, ta guard hlm against danger, la fight against lis enemies.
