Authorizd as Second-Class Mail, Post Office Department, Ottewe _-- MEN OF SERVICE Last fall, this paper started a fund called The Haileyburian Fund ior a Crippled Children's Camp. 'Ths week, a cheque in the amount of $155.19 was given to the Rotary Club to be used as they see fit in completing North- ern Ontario's Northwood Camp: Our appreciation of Rotary's place in the community and the world has undergone what might be termed "a growing up period." Long ago when we were young and gay, we came to think (if we thought at all) that the hand- some gentlemen who entered the Hotel each day at noon on Mon- day were a group of intelligent ctizens who knew: that Sunday's chicken was not enough for Monday's dinner and that wash day blues were better avoided: Wethougth it was clever of them to go out for dinner together. Suddenly, the writer's type- writer was facing the Rotary Park all summer long and little Ly little the story of Retary un- folded. Their contribution to the life of the community proved on further study to be remarkable and thus it was that from watch- ing healthy, happy hildren rac- ing through the Rotary Beach(all because of a handful of good citi- izens that we decided that those who had derived such lasting benefits fiom the Rotary Club might wish to help them in their present tremendous -ffort to join with other service clubs in the north and build what has now been desribed as "one of the most beautiful and modern camps for crippled children anywhere." To those who did wish to con- tribute and did so generously, the Rotrians and this newspapar say "Thank you". We know that when you visit Northwood Camp this summer, you will truly ap- preciate that your money is work- ing towards tremendous divi- dends THE SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS Opinions differ from age toage as to what happiness it. Popular "how to" books of the 18th cen- tury were chiefly concerned with the subject of how to die a good death; those of the 19th century moved on to the subject of how to make a living; and those of the 20th century are devoted to tell- ing us how to live rappily. What is happiness? It arises from the mental qualities of con- tentment, confidence, serenity and active good will: It includes the pain of losing as well as the pleasure if finding. It thrives best ina crowded life. The men and women who are recorded in hsitory and biography as most happy were people with always something more to do than they Phone 52 Modern Taxi Hotel Haileybury Ackroyd and Son PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS New Liskeard : Ontario Phones 442 and 442-B C.

Every waking hour of their lives was occupied with ambitous projects, litera- ture, love, politics, science, friendship, commerce professions, trades, their religious faith anda thousand other matters. The secret of happiness may be found by making each of these inter- ests count to its.utmost asa part of the 'abric of Ife. Aristotle summarized this view 2,300 years ago when he said happiness lies in the active exer- cise of a man's vital powers along the lines of excellence, in a life affording full scope to their development. We need to avoid the extremes of sluggish placidity and fever- ish activty. The youths of today are not going to be satisfied with felicity which resembles that ofa stone, unfeeling and unmovng, but these youths will look back trom future years with sorrow if they run to and fro, givng in to what Socrates called 'the itch." Happiness obviously included two sorts of behaviour: active and passive. The a ctive part consists in searching and sharing while the passive part is complete in itself and neither yields full satisfaction if it is over-empha- sized. Philosophers from the ancient Greeks to Buddha and 3alzac and Pascal and _ Pitken have extolled the balanced lfe as the most happy life and unhappy people can, when they face the issue, trace their discontent to OKSfes WEEKLY SPORTS - CALENDAR FASTBALL !

Dr. Martin Gumpert provided this prescription in his book The Anatomy of Happiness: prevent physical sufferng; prevent guilt; do not accept illusions; accept the reality of death; do what you like tod o; keep learning, accept your limitations, be willing to pay for everything you get; be willing and able to love, avoid secrets. It is legitimate to seek happi- ness but we need to know what happiness we seek. We should keep the program simple and free from complications and side trips, pay atttention to the little things, deflate quickly after praise, bounce back quickly from disap- pointment, seize opportunities to nut our special abilities to work, cultivate efficiency in everything we touch, remain modest and re- view and revise periodically. We do not have to seek far and wide for happiness grows at our own fireside if we cultivate it- The romantic minds of young people are likely to imagine that happy events will make their en- trance tothe sound of trumpets hut when we look back, we see they came in quietly, almost un- noticed tages that occur every day." -- Royal Bank of Canada's Monthly Letter.

EITHER and tmes if any- this there There times again when we wonder thing really does exist are in country -- we mean was such a thing as Cobalt and is Haileybury the county seat and is there a thriving little farming town to the north of us or is this alla bad dream. What is North- ern Ontario or is there such a thing. Last time we had a few words to say on this subject Sault Ste Marie and North Bay were tieing into which place was the capital of the North. We never understand a word of it. And now we read that North Bay is the first city in Northern Ontario to have a probation officer. On second thought, they likely are the first city but justin case any- As Benjamin Franklin one gets any ideas, the first ap- remarked "Human felicity is pro- pointment in Northen Ontaio was duced not so much -by great that of Mr. M.
