"The Rexall Druggist" : at . it is a real puzzle to tell what to read, what to pick out of the NOVEMBER 6th, 1930 CHOOSING YOUR READING Certainly there is no lack of reading matter in the world to- day. It is stacked about us in veritable mountains. Is it making us better, or is it making us worse? : If we buy books by the yard, and do not read books, they will do us no good. THURSDAY. us no good. : If we merely read books without any purpose, if we constantly fill in the time by reading anything and everything that comes handy, we shall get no good from our reading. The fact is that perfect avalanche of day by day. ; Two or three rules of reading will help. First--Do not read a book merely because you have started to read it, or because it has been highly recommended. If the book does not suit your purpose, or if it is of very little value, or positively bad, the sooner you throw it aside the better. 3 Remember that you cannot read everything. It is physically impossible. You cannot afford the time to read the whole of the daily paper, and it is quite unnecessary that you should. You will lose nothing by not being acquainted with all the latest scandals. Good stories are helpful, but stories that are eternally worry- 'ing you with the mussiness of nasty sex problems are of no value: and may be very harmful. Books that deal with business, health, citizenship, and con- structive religion, are always of value. Books of reference mean much in the life of the student. Tt is better to know where to find accurate information quickly than it is to load up one's mind with a lot of miscellaneous information that has no particular connection with real life as we find it. Books that make us think are very valuable. It is surprising how little thinking we do, and how much we depend on the thoughts of other people. Our thoughts are prepared for us like all the canned foods. A little original thinking would surprise us, and surprise those about us. = This is particularly true in politics and religion. Some day we are going to wake up to the need of thinking; but the danger is that if we let other people do our thinking for us long enough, we shall find our thinking' ma- chinery rusty when the great need for using it arises. Machinery Not Always Bad ' A week or so ago, thé writer was at Whitby waiting for the train. While there he saw in operation four enormous tamping machines. These machines, with the aid of 110 men were able to tamp in the broken stone ballast on about 1% miles per day. The curious part of the matter is that the 110 men could have gone a little farther without the machines, and apparently have done more work, but the work would not be as well done. i » In this case the machine saves the laborer a lot of hard drudgery, and does a better job. Sentenced to Guelph Reformatory for a Year Roland Jamieson appeals the case. Magistrates's Decision Upheld. Three Associates Fined $20 and Costs The trial of'the four Toronto men who attempted to rob the Peel Bros. Poultry Farm, was concluded before Magistrate Purdy at Port Perry on Thursday evening last. Roland Jamieson, as the leader of the group, and as one who had taken the chicken and assaulted the proprietor, was sentenced to a year in Guelph Reformatory, while his three associates, who assisted in the affair, were each fined twenty dollars and costs. 'This case was appealed, and was heard at Toronto, before five judges. The Magistrate's decision 'was upheld. printed matter that is flooding the market A Very Interesting Meeting One of the most pleasant social events that has taken place in-the United Church at Pert Perry for many years was enjoyed by the men associated with that church, last Thursday evening. ~ The occasion was a supper provided by the ladies of the church. This part of the program was a credit to the ladies, and the men much appreciate the courtesy extended to them. At the conclusion of the supper, Mr. J. E. Jackson, who pre- sided, called ypon the string quartette, and the guests were enter- tained with some delightful music. Several numbers were given by the quartette during the evening. There were two speakers. The first was Rev. J. A. Cormie, D.D., who graphically described the expansion of our Canadian heritage tending from east to west. We are broadening out in territory to the North very rapidly. Naturally Dr. Cormie described the work of the United Church in these pioneer lands. His stories of cour- age and kindly persistence will be remembered with a certain amount of pride and pleasure, and will widen our vision of our job as citizens of this vast country, To, LT Dr. Cormie was followed by Judge Mott, of thé Juvenile Court. He spoke of hig work with the young folk in relation to the par- ents, and gave incidents that were "All in the Day's Work." Be- cause of his praetical experience, and because of his sound good sense, the advice which he gave to fathers, and to the growing young men, was of real value. It was greatly appreciated, and very timely; ite : At the conclusion of the addresses, the men of the United Church organized a Men's Club. This organization was the sug- gestion of Rev. R. T. Richards, the minister of the church. Mr. Richards Spoke Dhiefly of the need of social contact among the men of the church.

Armintice Memorial Armistice Day! and back across the long grey: years our thoughts are flying, not to the living who exulted in the conclusion of war, but to those who are lying in far- away graves under rows of crosses in foreign cemeteries --to those who sank to their last deep sleep in the depths of the sea--and to those who lie we know not where. One thing we know of all of them---they are in God's keeping, and He knowk and sanctifies their resting places. Are not they all His children Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Mohammedans? He called and they came cheer- fully, unhesitatingly to do the thing He set foy them. And there they lie together, the common sons of a com- mon Father, one in Him, no matter what their earthly faith was called. For we know now how the barriers of creed £éll away, and were not, in that mighty Presence, and in that spirit they lived, and fought, and died, and Ab, it is our part to carry on; to emulate their unselfishness and passed on to their God. And we who are left? their single minded devotion to duty at all costs; to com- fort the sorrowing; to break down the barriers that lie between us until that great Armistice Day when we will welcome, not the dead, but the living that live for ever- more. --The Canadian Legion. HD 0 DDD DD DD DD DD 0-2-3 CURTS HOUSE BURNED - On Tuesday afternoon the fine brick house on the Curts prperty, at the West approach to Scugog bridge, was tral destroyed by fire. It is difficult to locate the cause of te fire, which broke out in the upper part of the building. The house is so far to the outskirts of the town that there was no water supply for fire protection. The fire brigade did all that was possible to save the property. An alarm was sent to Brooklin, and the fire brigade came with their chemical fire engine; but the fire had gained too great a headway, and now rothing remairs but some jagged, broken walls. There was some insurance, but not enough to cover the loss. Parents are advised to warn their children to keep away from the ruins, which are in a very dangerous condition. : Our townspeople are very sorry-that this great loss has come to Mrs. Curts and her family, and that this fine brick house has been destroyed.
