EDITORIAL "Such is the patriots boast, where'er we roam: His first, best country ever is at home." : 3 y - LINKED IN FRIENDSHIP Scientifically built, the international bridge at Ivy Lea, fitly represents the friendly relation that has existed between Canada and the United States for a century past. That structure of steel and concrete is only possible because we have learned how strong good sense, forbearance, and calm judgment may be. FUE Friendship is not as exciting as enmity; but it is infinitely better for humanity. _'The newspapers may not find the thrilling copy in this continued peace which may be found in Spain, in China, or in the political cauldron of Europe. And yet, now that we Vis had time to think, and plan, and act, what can exceed the wonders that have been produced on this North American continent. . Mountains are levelled, lakes made to bloom, disease is being eliminated and some day we shall come to the conclusion that what is good for our people as a whole is good for them in- dividually. Firendship is better than enmity. When we learn this last lesson of the rights of the individual, we shall be well on the road to true civilization. Nor need we fear that we shall be robbed of struggle and adventure. Nature will look after ~ that, But we shall show much better sense in joining our forces in fighting the common enemies of mankind--disease, pests, of floods and droughts--than in fighting one an- other, and bringing mutual misery by our foolish- ness. \ . The opening of the international bridge at Ivy Lea is a milestone on the journey of friendship between Canada and the United States, Here we begin a second century of peace. ¥ >0d4 SUNDAY To write about Sunday is a dangerous task be- cause it is not possible to avoid collision of ideas. The millions of the North American continent all of them have their ideas about Sunday--an un- limited variety of ideas. In some form or other one idea is very gen- erally accepted--Sunday is a day for relaxation. What form that relaxation shall take is, of course, a question. » ~ Harry Lauder has aptly phrased + one popular form of relaxation--"It's nice to get up in the morning; but it's nicer to lie in bed." up a very general idea of Sunday: a day of loaf- ing, sleeping, dawdling; a day of utter irrespons- ibility. Well, there's something to be said for that kind of day for a certain class of people. If you had worked sixty hours as required on many a farm, and in some industries; if your income was limited so that you seldom had the inspiration of a new suit; if books were unknown to you, and "funnies" were cheap and satisfying, why not let go, sprawl, and get ready for the next sixty hours of labour? To such folk the Church is often an unknown quantity; often associated with money require- ments and seldom entering daily life. = * = Going up or down the scale (according to your own ideas) is the class of folk who want to get away from every day suroundings. Sunday is the day to go places: to see folks. Painfully, care- fully, the nickles, dimes, and dollars have been saved to buy the "family bus", and with eager- ness they look forward to Sunday as the day they can break away from the chains that bind them to a certain spot, and enjoy a little of the free- dom that richer folk look upon as their right. The Church? Well, that hasn't just fitted into the picture. What had the church ever done for them? They consider themselves just as good as a lot of pious church members. If they want to go places "that's their own 'business." Sometimes it is, Sometimes not., When a car load of city cousins drive out to the farm, and make a double load of housework for the farmer's wife, then it is somebody else's business. It is quite possible that the tired woman would have "the goers. weeds, the outbreaks _attendance is an essential part of life. That sums: loved to sit quietly in church, listen to the singing of familiar hymns, and meet the friends who bear similar life burdens, - Going places on Sunday requires some good sense and some kindness of heart on the part of Henry Ford really did not intend to spoil the rest and worship of Sunday. A * * * Taking another step up or down the social scale, we reach the well-to-do--the folk who can afford golf and Newport and summer cruises. The folk who tan give a handsome subscription to the church, put in an occasional appearance, and call it square, To them Sunday is frequently regarded as a happy institution, No better day to run out to see Edwards and have a quiet chat about that deal they were considering. Perhaps they can put it through this time. Of course these folk wouldn't interfere with church folk. Every man to his taste. The churches may be all right at that. Such in very brief form is a summary of the attitude of millions of peoplé regarding Sunday. And all those clases are on the increase. Free- dom to do as we wish in the matter of Sunday behaviour is very great to-day, and will be greater. The campaign to open playgrounds and swim- ming pools on Sunday has much to commend it; but it does not follow that commercialized sport should be given another day in which they may draw more money from the people who are al- ready paying plenty for their whistle. There is a certain "sob" attitude regarding Sunday restrictions that is only used by people who want "wide-open" rights to make money. These people are a danger to the well being of society. ve Back of all this controversy are millions of folk who love Sunday; who look forward to it as a day of worship and inspiration. To them church They are not concerned about heresies, or fine theological points. They love to sing, to pray, to read the Bible, and to hear the words of the preacher. Through generation after generation, these peo- ple have upheld those principles and laws upon which the foundations of our social order rest. Narrow minded at times? Granted. But so are the laws that govern the universe. Fire burns, water drowns, gravitation works havoc on all un- supported objects. Nature is terribly narrow at times. She does not give an inch to the highest powered car driven by the most devil-may-care driver, The fact is that society is still reaping a har- vest of law and order sown by our pioneer par- ents. What we are sowing with our new found freedom is a bit difficult to state. But the fact remains that those of us who do just as we please on Sunday; and make no sacrifices for law and order, we are not good citizens, for every good - citizen must think of the welfare of his fellows. rr» And what about the folk who have no Sunday? The people who are compelled to rush for our pleasure; and the folk who live in surroundings that render any real Sunday impossible--what about them? It may be safely stated that most of the folk described in the opening paragraphs of this editorialy, seldom give the matter a thought or a dime. When any movement is started for. social bet- terment, the folk who observe Sunday as a day of rest and worship are generally the backbone of such a movement. Not that nobody outside of church membership ever does a kind deed or helps with truly progressive movements--that would be a silly and untrue statement of the case. But the fact remains that the church is the active, or- ganized agency for this part of human helpful- ness; and Sunday is the special day for worship and inspiration to better living.

The new mail service which came into effect recently, is probably the most unsatisfactory service boxhold- ers have had for some time. After be- ing accustomed for years to two mails a day and now being reduced to one seems to be a step backward. When the mail was carried by the G.T.R., an especially good service was enjoyed, but the present service is meeting with much disapproval, and it is hoped something may be done for its im- provement. Mr. Archie Parrinder, who has been running a cream route from Oakwood, Little Britain and local points to, Toronto, has sold out to Mr. Ramsay, and expects to go more extensively in- to farming and sheep raising.

One of the worst storms that pas been experienced there for some time was that of last Tuesday evening, when a continuous 'display of fire- works could be" seensthe greater part of the night. Na local damage was reported and when the blaze from Mr. Clarence Holman's barn was noticed a number rushed oer to give assistance; but the fire had gained such headway that little could be done. Then again on Sunday afternoon there was a very severe storm with rain, like a cloud burst, and the hydro service was dis- rupted for a time.
