HOBBIES FOR CHILDREN One of the best: ways to keep your child off the street is. to teach -him to have a hobby. You will find it much easier to do this if you start when he is 'very young. 'If your child is older you may have to spend more time and enthusiasm to get him to appreciate the fun that is in s{ore for him. It can be done, however, if you yourself consider it worthwhile, You will consider that it is worthwhile if you realize that-a hobby is an investment for the duration of a child's whole lifetime. It also nteans that he will soon learn to spend hours entertaining himself and you will not need to worry about him while he is doing it. He will not need to depend on commercial - entertainment for his good - times. If there is nothing worth seeing .at the show he will have something worth doing at home. If there is a good picture at the local playhouse he will enjoy it all the more becaus¢ he will be more alert mentally from the habit of solving some of his own problems and doing some of his own thinking as he works out his hobby. Teachers tell us that the brightest chil- dren are the ones who have learned to work with both their heads and their hands. They have a" broader association of ideas. and therefore a better grasp of the way things fit together. During those trying times in their teens they are provided with the best of protec- tion from evil. They have something to do. The variety of hobbies is so" great we hestitate to touch the subject. It ranges from stamp to bottle top collecting, and woodworki to boat-building; painting, rE, ne. are all fun. Small children enjoy finger painting, soap carv- "ing, nature lore, camp-craft or skating. Libraries usually have a helpful service in this respect... We are sure the librarian will be only too willing to help you get started along your chosen line. When vy retire from business you need nevey fearthe awful, let down of 'nothing Ir fact many men have saved their health for years by developing a hobby at this time. It is life insurance earned, how- ever, if you have started early and. are 'ready with your tools the days the junior partner takes over. Give your child a chance at a hobby. will thank you all his life. He WHATS IN A WORD The English language is rich in words. The experts who prepare our dictionaries tell us that there are some 800,000 words in our language and that this number is being added to almost daily. Now, while we can with something of an American characteristic take great pride in quantity for the sheer weight of quantity, it still ap- pears that we might grant some signifi- cance also to quality. Not all those 800,000 words are good words. They are not good words because there application to daily life is so limited as to be almost non-exis- tent. Such words as, exsanguination or ellipticity, seldom see the light of days they are not good words. But don'f think . that because a word is used much that it is therefore a good word. Take the word, "Yah". Once upon a time, there was in the English tongue a short Anglo-Saxon word 'Yes'. It was a " rather pleasant sounding monosyllable . . particularly on certain occasions . . . . it meant the opposite of No and was most precise. © But this word 'Yah' which has replaced it is neither pleasant sounding nor. . NOTES AND COMMENTS clear-cut in meaning. As a matter of*fact it can mean almost anything. Said with a rising inflection, it. means--\Well, you may have a perfect right to express your opin- ion, but in my opinion you couldn't be more wrong . . .... in fact, I'm quite skeptical, Said lifelessly, as it so often is, it merely means -- I'm tired and I'm bored, 1 didn't hear everything you said and I'm not sure that 1 would have agreed with you if I had -- but it really doesn't matter anyway---so "Yah!" "The average person, who is not you or I, uses about 300 words in his speaking vo- cabulary; about 2000 in his writing--but seldom writes--and about 400 in his read- ing--except when he reads comies--there you are restricted to 850--Basic English. The person who makes "Yah" a habit can forget all about words and express his whole personality with one sound . . and what he means won't matter anyway . . Oh, yes it will, you may-think . . but not he . . for all you'll get is 'Oh, Yah'. ~ "THE COST OF PRICE CONTROLS troduce price and wage controls for two reasons. that such controls may not work in peace time. Secondly, it reinforces its first argu- ment with the contention that controls are too costly to administer: = What is the real worth of such argu- ments? With eertainty no one can truly say. However, that does not prevent us from looking at the present situation with a:-critical mind. : We can only find out if controls will: work by putting them into effect. The argument that a thing won't work becomes a valid argument only when it is proved. How does the government know it won't work? For that matter, how do we know it will? The answer is plain. Try them and find out. : The second one as to cost is quite inter- esting. If we can credit the experts who interpret for us the statistics about money, the value of our dollar has shrunk to about bde. Apparently inflation has already cost us untold billions since our money has depreciated some 46 per cent. Could con- trols conceivably cost us a similar amount . . that ig-indeed difficult to believe. A survey of this country would show that more and more mothers are returning to industry and business life in order to in- crease the family income -to-a point where it can cope with the rising costs of living-- would show that our sons and daughters are leaving school to earn big wages in terms of dollars before they have complet- ed their courses . . would show that busi- ness ethics have reached a low ebb with the basic idea 'being 'that one should take 'all the traffic will bear." This is no healthy condition for any country to be in. This is a cost which the liberal government does not -admit and perhaps refuses to see. 'Nonetheless it is a real cost and one that this country may not be able to-afford. - Thé truth of the matter is that we can- not afford inflation. ~ We look to our gov- ernment for intelligent leadership. That leadership should be in terms of something - else than an apparent prosperity which on closer examination proves to. be a false prosperity. . +" St Laurent has a great opporrtunity to point. us towards a more ethical road than the one we are now pursuing. The ques- tion in our minds is, has he the courage and the-insight to turn his back on material . things and insist that his cabinet consider the true welfare of the country ? : Mrs. Smith Honored First, it advances the argument - ¥ ___The federal government hestitates toin- ____}. The Service Club Girls of the Port Perry United Church, held a farewell dinner in honour of their honourary président, Mrs. Smith, on Tuesday evening, September 10, at Ski Loft Lodge, Chalk Lake. A very tasty hot meal was served. Mrs. Smith was pre- sented with a corsage and a black morocco hand bag with which she was very pleased.

"Sider" Harper was-the hurler for Gan. and the south-paw was never in for eight hits as his mates capitalized on seven Port errors to build up a commanding lead in the early stages. Church McPhadden started on the slab for the losers and twirled until the sixth when Dave MeTaggart took over. McTaggart was around until the cighth when he developed arm trouble and was relieved by Ron Wal- lace who turned in a fine chore, fan- ning 3 of the 6b men to face him. The Chiefs counted a lone run in the second 'when Reid drew a pass and crossed on a hit by McPhadden. Caw- ker plated the second run in the fifth when he strolled, stole second, and scampered home on Beaton's bid. The Port total was completed in the eighth when Reid blasted a triple and Welsh and 'Wallace hit safely. } The winners tallied two in the first on three hits, one a double by Jerroy, and added double runs in the third and fourth. They staged their biggest up- rising in the sixth when five runs crossed_on only two hits as four errors told the tale.

Miss Sandra Ferguson, sister of the bride, played the wedding music. Given in marriage by her father, the bride was lovely in a gown of white Swiss enbroidered organdy over white taffeta fashioned with fitted bodice and full skirt. Her fingertip veil of bridal illusion was gathered to a small white cap and she carried a cascade bouquet of white gladiolus. She was attended by her sister, Miss Mona Fer- guson, in turquoise fashioned similar- ly to that of the bride. She wore a small cap of embroidered organdy over turquoise with flower trim, and carried a cascade of yellow gladiolus.

R. H. Wylie of Wesley United Chureh has been invited to the United Church at Port Perry and will leave for his work there at the end of Oct. I Port Perry has scarcely the status of a town and the church there has not the membership, nor the salary to offer, as Wesley church, so the change is considerably baffling to understand because the Rev. Mr, Wylie is intense- ly popular among the members and adherents of Wesley church, also in Calvin church and among all classes and creeds in the town. However, the man himself has to be understood to understand the course he is now taking. He considers that too _much_difficulty although nicked his work is done-here-and-that-in his case a pastorate of five years is long enough. ' 1 Here then, is an outstanding ex- ample of consistency and a man hav- ing only one object in view. It all sums up in the universal opinion held of him in town, that he is, above all else, sincere. ! The Reverend Mr. Wylie is by no ! means an ordinary preacher. In a | Theological Seminary, standing before a homiletics class, delivering a sermon, he would receive very high comment. He stands high among the excellent préachers Wesley church has fortun- | ately had during the last thirty years. And not only in himself, but also in his excellént wife, and a true help- mate, he will be remembered here for vears to come, May they be amply re- warded for the course that they are taking. ' lA A Resigns Pulpit after five years (Pembroke Standard-Observer) After Pembroke, Rev. R. H. Wylie, minister of Wesley cepted an invitation to the pulpit of a ministry of five years in United Church, has ac- the United church at Port Perry, and will conduct his farewell service here on October 28th. Mr. Wylie's resignation, which was submitted to the Renfrew Presbytery and the official board of his church, was considered by the latter body on Monday night and was accepted with regret. Presbytery also dealt with the resignation at a meeting at. Smiths | I'alls Wednesday.

The debentures are now being printed and moneys from the sale of same will be received within a month from now. 256¢ of the Government grants should be in our hands within a week or so ns our Architect has delivered to the Government a certificate show- ing that 256 of the work of building the hospital has been completed and we have been advised that this is what is required to obtain this part of the grants. The balance .of Government grants will be paid accordingly as the build- ing operations proceed. From the above it will be noted that the financing of the, erection of our hospital at last" seems assured. It may be that on account of increased costs the total .may run higher but from the many promises of financial assistance from local organizations and individuals the Board feels that they are justified in going right ahead with building operations. ~The Board met on Thursday, Sept. 13th, and it was decided to proceed with all the wget of completing the hospital as quickly as men and ma- terials can be obtained to do so. Earns Trip to England Mr Jack Lougheed, son of Rev. and Mrs. A. W. Lougheed, is returning to Canada in the near future after spend- ing the past three months in England and the continent.
