Some folks have big problems which they treat lightly, others are apt "to mag: nify trifles, but we all have our prab- lems. CThis week [am going to try and, answer a big problem. It has come to me from a young lady whom | think is very sensible indeed. She writes to me in part: "1 have heen keeping company with ~~ for over three years, We are very fond of each other, and [am sure we are suited to each other and could be extromely happy together.

The past quarter of a century has been a very tying one, and many folks have simply been" un- able. to-bear-thie strain, It is true that there are many in our mental instit- utions who might not have been there it the proper help had been secured in time. But that does not alter the fact that they are there, and that Geeansaseen r Nothing truer about education has ever been said. And with this truth | there could be instilled into young' people the further truth that educ- ation is a continuing process, that. it is not something which ceases with graduation from some university, but must be persevered with and de- veloped throughout the "avhole of life, then as a people we would be better educated. ' John Richard Green, the great his- torian, died when a comparatively voung man. He had had a university education, and was a great scholar, but he never lost his curiosity about life and its meaning, and over his grave lhey carved this epitaph: "He, died learning."

Post Ofce Ni (St. Thomas Times-Journal) Postoffice pen nibs have long heen a joke, particulavly as to their poor quality, but the British post office ap- pears to have solved the problem both as to durability, and "unstealibility." A new nib first tried out in 1929, has peen found most successful, and the government has just -ovdered 1,600,000 of theth for the offices throughout the United Kingdom. The British post office probably has more branches than any country in the world, The public seldom has to go far to find a post office, where avery facility is provided, whether for ordinary mail- ing purposes, sending telegrams, buy- ing money orders or banking, many thousands of grocery lores operating an office as a side line on a commis: gion 'hasis. . The new nib is of stainless steel, and after being withdrawn owing to promiscuous thefts, has been return ed, fastened to the holder with. a spe- cial locking 'device, only with pliers can it be removed.
