THE PEOPLE'S PARKS. A citizén somo time ago was heard to remark that in his youthful days ihe providing of such facilities for the health and recreation of the people as are now so generally avaflable would fiave been futile, since a large portion of the public would have been unable to take advantage of them. The shortening of working hours due largely to the introduction of ma- chinery and labor eaving devices, the frequent holidays, including Satur- day afternoons in the summer and all the year around for some trades and businesses, and the increasing vogue of the vacation habit, have brough* opportunities for the enjoyment of the parks unknown to an earlier gen- eration. It was accepted that parks were only for large cities; or at least they were not needed by small towns, To-day communities of 5,000 population are expending as much {money proportionately on their pub- lic pleasure grounds as the big cities, Furthermore, they are introducing the same "features," band concerts, 302 | community singing, and even page- ants and dramatic performances, that have proved so popular in places of metropolitan proportions, "Keep off the grass" signs and more inducements to the people to find health and pleasure in the great outdoors mark the modern city park. Due perhaps to the automobile, an t Increasing patronage of the parks is noted, particularly in the matter of family picnics, -- This was especially observable during fair week in this city, when the parks were crowded daily with out-oftown automobile parties, who repaired there for luncheon and rest, Every year wit- nesses the parks occupying a mores Prominent place in the life of tho community. And their possibilities have not yet beén tully shown. S------------------ YOUTH AND ITS DAY, A roster of champions in various sports this year carried the names of more than a score of boys and girls whose ages range from sixteen ie twenty4wo years. They were suc- Oesaful over veterans, the average of whose years was very much higher. On the stage and in the movies youth of both sexes alo predominate. Youth is certainly having its day, but in the more essential activities of life men and women of mature years con- tinue to hold their prominence. A healthy mind in a healthy body is the greatest blessing of life. Rational sports temperately pursyed are a means for keeping the physical body fit, and contribute to longevity. Long life brings experience, and experience is a chief ingredient of wisdom. It ft were possible to bring some of the spirit and love of sports into the fleld of essential work, much friction and unhappiness would be removed from the world to-day, Hu- man nature is so varied in its pre: dilections that there is never any danger of a bitter struggle for the soft places in life. Just as there are extremes in sport between the pugi- list and the polo-player, the billard- ist and the foot-baller, so there ars extremes in the field of labor, but tns distance between sports and labor is measured by the poles, when the mental attitude is viewed. One rea- son for the difference is that in sports each contestant strives by fair play to excel, while in the field of labor-- well, too often fair rivalry is absent. Another and possibly the greatest difference is that in sports the con- testant selects his fleld and, if he is ambitious, trains for championship therein; while in essential work it is often a haphazard matter of selection and indifference to results, The world is making progress, however. Science has devised means for measuring the capabilities of youth among the varied flelds of en- deavor, and vocational schools are making selection and training for life & matter of more concern than was the case in our fathers' days, A few old-fashioned folk may deploré the frills and frivolities of youth and de- clare that there is too much coddling of the latter, but the fruits of the new system will be seen in better citizenship a score or so Of years hence, oP) -- ------------ MR. MEIGHEN'S ADVICE, Ex-Premier Rt. Hon. Arthur Mel. ghey, in the opinion of the Peter boro Examiner, gives "some sound advice when he declares fn regard to the Near East question that the present. is no time to embarrass the government when it is endeavors Ing to arrive at a policy worthy of 'Canada. Mr. Meighen's counsel in this re. #pect is both fair and timely. Making political capital out of a crisis of this kind is a poor imitation of pat- riotism, well to emphasize that fact, for al. ready attempts have been made ta condemn the government for not hastily rushing into .something about which it had but scant inform. ation. No one doubts that Canadas will be prepared to take her full share in any effort that may be considered necessary on behalf of the British Empire, and in the meantime the de- cislon as to policy can in the hands of the and the former premier does ment at this stage of the proceed- ings. ANGLO-SAXON RESPONSIBILITY. The nature of the civilization We know depends so largely upon Anglo- Saxon co-operation and good will that it is of extreme importance that the British debt to the United States be 80 dealt with as not to leave a sense of injustice either in America or In England, declares R. C. Leffingwell, lats assistant secretary of the United States Treasufy, writing in the Octo- ber Yale Review. It can be so dealt with if the facts are ascertained, analyzed, and disclosed to the people of both countries. The problem can- not be disposed of by the man in the street, or by the politicians, It will remain unsettled and a running sore between the two great English-speak- ing peoples for generations to come unless it is subjected to the eame patient, co-operative, considerate analysis and discussion to which the inter-Allfed financial problems were subjected by the British and Ameri- can Treasuries during the war. If there is such an examination and de- termination, on the other hand, the people of both couniries are good aports enough to accept the result whether favorable or unfavorable and abide by the consequences without a shadow of ill will, If the war was 80 much worth winning as to justify the disregard .of politieal and diplo- matic precedents, then the peace, which we fought for and have not got, is worth winning too. It can be won as the war was won; not other- wise, | ALONG LIFE'S DETOUR | BY SAM HILL We Hate a Tightwad.

A.--The value of tourist traffic in Canada was estimated to be $75, 000,000 dn 1920, and it has greatly increased since them. The Customs reported nearly 100,000 motor cars entering Canada in 1920, and this 'number has also largely increased. Q.--Why is a Nova Scotian called a Bluenose? A.--A Nova Scotian is called a Bluenose, it is said, after a potato, in his Sam Slick books. Another and lees likely reason is that blueness of nose arose from the winter cold. CANADIAN PACIFIC.
