Better to work / 3 - N w START NOW Next July, when the examination results are" posted, there will be a number of names missing from the list of successful sgholars. They will be the names of the boys and girls who do not start now to study and make the best of the education- al opportunities afforded. We have been watching the faces of these folk for some years. It is not a happy thing to note the disappointment of the scholars, the parents, and the teachers. Generally speaking, those who fafl in exathina- tions are not stupid so far as ability to learn is concerned. They simply lose out because they do not start studying soon enough. = They put in the first few months having a good time; always sure that they can cate i up with their studies when they make up their minds to start. Social and sport life occupy their attention. They are bright, attractive young people--great favorites among their chums. Their smile is "They organize games_and spend long hours in sport. They go long, uncomfortable journeys to attend gaines. Everybody knows what the result-will be; but the temptation to be pop- ular is too great, and far too many 'cannot resist. - Plodding along with studies month in and month out is not a thrilling program; but it us-- ually does bring good results. These results are essential to the future success of the student-- and they are the proper reward for the parents who provided the money so that schooling might be continued. It is not fair to neglect the proper amount of § study. It is not fair to the student, to the parents nor the teacher. Our advice to the IR of the Port Perry schools is: If you wish to pass your examinations, - start to study NOW. bod A POINT OF VIEW Apparently the Japanese military party is of the opinion that the only way to secure peace is to remove the people that possess what they de- sire. It is an old idea, dating back to creation. Cain had it. - He found that Abel had found favor with God. So he killed- Abel. The idea is not exclusive with the Japanese. >Oo gq LABOUR An idle man is almost sure to be miserable and Labour is real fun for nothing and keep up life's interests, than to lie idle and lose the ability to serve and to énjoy. s»Monday was Labour Day--the day set aside 4% a tribute to the working man--his special holi- day. It recognizes labour in the mass, united. It appreciates what reforms: the. labour unions have secured. In some measure it is beginning to understand that only by Fr omerating effort between labour and capital can our present high standard of living be maintained. The sanity of good wages, clean living condi- proved in increased and improved products and greater dividends. It is now becoming a matter of common sense to treat the employee decently. This fact is well beyond the experimental stage. Co-operation between labour and capital.is im- perative. 'No experiment of communism or any other ism has done other than to prove that when either capital or labour gain control hisely follows. tions, and untrammeélled Joa has-beén amply Bl ih -The danger of a complete labour control would be just as great a menace to the happiness of our people as the complete control by capital. > Od SPEED Humanity's greatest present ambition is speed. It permeates every part of life so greatly that few, if any, of us can escape it. - Capt. Eyston, Col. Lindbergh, Doug. Corrigan, Howard Hughes--these are our heroes, and we strive to follow in their tracks--not in their foot- steps: those would be too slow. Speed has become an essential part of industry. Efficiency means mass production. It means that we shall be able to produce more goods at less cost, and so be able to compete with other pro- ducers and obtain the bulk of the business in our own field. That type of production leaves but little room for intelligent good craftsmanship. It requires methodical motion and is a test of nervous endurance. It mechanizes humanity, and does away with initiative to a large extent. The loving care of a master workman is replaced by a mechanical skill in a certain specialized line. In- dividual interest is not encouraged. It would be a fine thing for all of us if we could have time to do our best work. It would be a fine thing if our customers would insist upon the best of everything instead of the cheapest. A good antidote for this speed it to have a hobby in which we can take time to do our best without any thought of profit. : > Speed has dominated our educational system. We are supposed to get "through" school as quickly as possible irrespective of what is learned in relation to actual life. The result is that we know but little in any thoroughness, and seldom learn to love study for the pure fun of finding out. Again the antidote is to gjve our own personal- ity a chance to develop. To read and study that which best brings out those characteristics that shall contribute to our own happiness and the happiness of others. Of course speed is most noticeable in the field of transportation. You can see us go in an almost continuous stream. Here competition in speed has become a mania. We go fast to see how fast we can go; and in the going we miss much of the beauty of life, The song of the bird, the fleecy sunlit clouds, the flowers," the trees, the crop laden fields in varying shades of green and gold, who can enjoy these at fifty or sixty miles an hour? How can we see the little acts of happy kindness, the industry and patience of everyday folk in a hundred villages, if we pass through them as something to be consumed by speed? Real happiness is found in the simple things of life; and we cannot afford to rush by them with unseeing eyes. We talk loudly of the expensive- ness of life; and we are eternally short of maney because we feel that we must go long distances to see things. ' Remember that tf people in the places we visit on these hurried trips, in turn travel hundreds of miles to see what we consider common. Travel is splendid if we go leisurely enough to accurately see what is to be seen; hut at fifty to seventy miles an hour the vision is apt to be a bit blurred. Anyway, what's the hurry? What are you go- ing to do when you arrive? As the negro wife said to her husband who took 4 ride on a merry-go-round--""You bin for a long ride and spent yore money--but where you bin?" - That's the question--"where you bin?" What. did you gain in happiness, knowledge, or health when you went for your long ride--fast? A Letter from the under to the upper for one fancies; her face. In a corner of her lips was Rev. Jos. Denny "London, Eng., Aug. 20, 1938. Dear Mr. Farmer: 'As one gets more used to his sur- roundings in London things begin to take their shape as they really exist, It shows one how the Dominion pro- ducts are taking their positions in the various stores. Each Colonial House is doing its best to bring its products to the fore; eath one according to its merits, One can fancy seeing the Canadian salmon in its cooling waters; Aus- tralian dairy products coming rapidly to its place and New Zealand: lamb, ench occupying its own conspicious place. London appears to be a great clearing house; the hub of a big wheel and each dominion playing its part in the huge distribution, It is interesting to make your ob- servations from the top of an omnibus. There still sdems to exist the feudal system in the class system of the Londoner. There is the overlord and the underlord, and so ad infinitum to the nth degree. There is the over- beggar and the underbeggar; the over- shoe black and the undershoe black, and it seems impossible to reach from he can hear these words: "Between us and you there is a great gulf fixed." Even to speak to another in the same stratum society almost requires a letter of introduction. For a little digression we went to the zoo the other day where all the denzens there seem equal, especially it the monkey house. Each ape was busy trying to get the peanuts the children brought; and when he was not otherwise engaged he was performing the time honoured custom of social service, searching for the elusive flea in the hairy hide -of his comrades. If they leaped through space after- wards we were reminded of Jack London's book 'Before Adam" who said that they remind us of the times when we dreamed of falling through space and fearing that we shall miss the welcome limb to break. the fall. He says we are simply living over again what our ancestors did before Adam, As we do not happen to have Darwin's "Origin of Species" handy the above cannot be verified. After we had seen the monkeys at their capers it was interesting to sit on a bench and see Mr. World and his family go by. First was the feminine creature of the species, She came along with a manly stride and the leer of emancipation portrayed across a smoking volcano (a composition of all the corners of the earth). She was. closely followed by the children each with a package of sweet stuff in their hands, children of all ages and sizes; and poor old Dad following in the rear with the basket of provisions in his hands, smoking a big pipe and a look of contemplation in his face as he wondered what it was all about, Last Thursday a visit was paid to Westminster Abbey. The moment one' enters the sacred portals a feeling of reverence takes possession of you and one fancies he can hear the Divine injunction: "Take off your shoes for the place whereon you stand is holy ground." It is the tomb of Britain's illustrious dead. As you ponder over the last resting place of the unknown soldier or- breathe a silent praye where the mortal remains of David Livingstone rest, a feeling too sacred for words takes possession. Then you are directed to the Poets' corner, in all you feel directed to a spot far distant from earth, On the day on which we visited that shrine the Abbey 'was filled with - sightseers from other lands. | The guttural German group was there.

N. = VISITORS INTERVIEWED There are some hundred of acres de- voted to the Canadian National Ex- hibition, and the grounds and build- ings are crowded with exhibits repre- senting almost every human interest. Every visitor sees the Exhibition with different eyes than those of his fellow visitors, THE BOY LOOKS This -particular boy was hampered by a set of questions which he was supposed to answer, 1, What was the most beautiful thing at the Fair? "The flowers," Correct. But it turn ed out that he didn't go to see the flower show. He knew that would be the right answer, so what was the use of wasting time there? "If I'd gone with mother, she's have had me at the flower show, the. picture gallery, and the baby show all the time." He took his younger brother instead. What was, the most useful thing? "The little train that pulled the people all around the Ex." That was a most amazing answer when 'it was found that the time from the Princess Gate to the Grand Stand was two minutes flat--or thereabouts, for a boy in a hurry, What was the most thing ? "Lucky Teeter" and his daredevils who did trick driving and broad jump- ing with a car, Which was the best guto in the show? "A blue Nash, that could be ar- ranged so that when the seats were folded in a certain position they form- ed a_double six foot bed." What was the music like? "The music in front of the Grand Stand seemed the best to me." What peculiar people did you see? "There weren't any peculiar people except the policgmen who wouldn't let me sit on the: fence in front of the Grand Stand; and a lady who had her children (they looked .to be about ten or twelve) on a leash." That ended the formal set of ques- tions; but when the interviewer fol- lowed up with "Did you see this or that or the other thing?" the answer was nearly always "No." Well how could he see these things when there were only a few hours and the whole midway and the Grand Stand performance had to be seen? By the way, he saw Hans the Wonder Dog and was greatly taken with him. Hans is to be at the Port Perry Fair. What did catch the lad's attention was "The Rocket"--alias "The Whip." There you got action for your money. Yes, the Midway, the Grand Stand, the daredevils--they were the Show, and the grand finale was a half hom of dazzling deafening fireworks, To wind the matter up supper time came. Father and mother were to be met by appointment at six sharp. The boys didn't arrive until seven-thirty-- "That shows you how fast the time goes," wonderful HIS SISTER SEES No comments or translations are needed in this account, which is given verbatim: The Exhibition, Most beautiful of all exhibits was the flower show where exquisitely lovely flowers were arranged so that they appeared to be growing in nat- ural gardens. Nothing could be more beautiful than these gay, sweet dis- plays of Mother Nature's handiwork. I consider the electric kitchen the most useful of everything exhibited. This ultra modern room was equipped with an electric dishwasher -- which would appeal to many housekeepers as a labour saving and hand protecting device. Here also were an electric ironer and washer, an electric mixer and the commoner electric appliances such as stoves, toasters, and refriger- ators--at your service madam! « Although the pageant presented during the evening contained a mar- velous display of colour 'dnd beauty, I believe that the fireworks were the highlight of the evening. This amaz- ing exhibit filled the sky with bursts of colour for over half an hour. Even the clouds of smoke caused by this demonstration were glorified by floods of rainbow coloured lights, - The crowds were thickest at the Midway and in the Food Building. The former was very crowded because of the novel confections and amusements which attract a crowd; the latter was probably crowded because of the samples and souveniers being given away--as well as the many foods for sale at bargain prices, The most strikingly beautiful auto- was a sixteen cylinder Cadillac "Win- terwood", This stream-lined road monster had shining nickel plated trimmings which were very handsome with the glittering black body of the car. The roomy interior was well up- holstered in a fine corded material and furnished with modern fixtures. Who wouldn't be proud to own this car! Unfortunately the visit to the Art Gallery was very short owing to a lack of time. While in the building I saw some of the fine classical pic- tures, such as "Evening, Ile D'O:- leans" by Horatio Walker--and at- tempted to find something admirable in some of the new surrealistic paint- ings. The Royal Artillery Band from England played the finest music heard on the Exhibition grounds--I cannot remember ever having heard finer music in my life. All "jitterbugs" would probably have enjoyed hearing Benny Goodman's "jam session." Myrtle Station Service in United Church next Sun- day will be at 7 p.m. Sunday School at usual hour of 1.45 p.m. All are welcome, Miss M. Clouston of Rochester, is visiting with her sister Mrs. J. Quinn. Mrs. Wm, Lammiman and son, Mr. Will, of Oshawa, were visitors of Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Lane, last week. Mr. Wm. Wiles and son Stewart, also Mr. C. Harrison, accompanied Mr. John Birkett of Port. Perry, on an en- joyable motor trip to Niagara Falls, over the week end. They also paid a visit to the peach orchards before re- turning on Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Chisholm thor- oughly enjoyed the delightful trip to the International bridge and the Thousand Islands last week. Arriv- ing at Gananoque Jet., they changed trains for Gananoque town, five miles south and charmingly situated on the St. Lawrence river, where they board- ed one of the sight-seeing boats. These boats are especially built to ply the mazes of this wonderful inland water- way. They are the last word in com- fort, safety and speed. Large enough, yet small enough to run the narrow and shallow channels, giving the pas- sengers a close up view of the beauti- ful islands and summer homes on both the Canadian and American sides. They are equipped with rest rooms, luxurious chairs and inclosed with glass to insure safety in case of storm. The scenery _on the forty-five mile cruise was magnificent and as the boat wound its way around and about the islands which varied in size from a quarter of an acre to one hundred acres. A trained announcer explained in detail the places of interest they came in contact with, such as Ivy Lea, Senator Hind's home home, Redpath's cottage, Alexandra Bay, Roldt Castle, the T. I. Yacht Club (Hopewell Hall) and a host of other interesting places and things. The International bridge stretches from Hill Island to Wells Island--the largest in the group, and is an arch bridge of stone. There are various styles of bridges used on the system. The first is a suspension bridge, which swings out over the deep-water channel used by ships, which runs close to the Canadian shore for a distance at this point. The engineers in charge used several islands as stepping stones and the system winds its way of eight miles across and through the tree dotted islands, in one of the most beautiful parts of the river St. Lawrence. One of the bridges is one hundred and twenty-five feet above the water. The traffic over the system was already heavy although much work is still to be done, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Thompson were in Toronto last week. Mrs. Gordon Barton and Marlene are visiting friends and relatives in Toronto and Gorrie. Mr. and Mrs. David Broome and Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Redman of Hamp- ton visited last Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. E. Redman, Miss Norma Gaudaur of Toronto, was a visitor at the Luery home on Saturday.

Parrider and Miss Beulah Cooper, attended the. Exhibi- tion last week. During the absence of Mrs. Parrinder, Mr. Pollard acted as chief cook, and made a good job of it. The week end and holiday traffic was exceptionally heavy. The south bound traflic commenced early Monday after- noon, making it very dangerous for pedestrians using the highway. ---- ee > -------- CAESAREA Caesareans frequently drive to Cad- mus to enjoy the beautiful dahlias and other flowers in Mr. Wolfe's lovely garden.
