With our amassed knowledge, our present means of communication and our facilities for girdling. the globe it should be possible for us to learn what is the truth about the many vexatious problems that trouble our world. Yet, in actual practice it doesn't work out that way. Because of pressure groups, because of a human weakness for the sensational, be- cause of carelessness and stupidity . . . it is most difficult for us to learn the truth, Nothing more clearly illustrates this than the strange case of Dr. Endicott who has now attracted the official recog- nition of our Minister of Justice who has stated that he will be charged upon his re- turn to this country concerning his state- ments with regard to germ warfare. It has not been legally established that the eccentric doctor has actually made the statement--but there are other statements which the Doctor has made which flatly contradict much of what we read in our newspapers and hear over the radio. The doctor is as, one correspondent has stated, no fool. 'Norman Angell, one of the great power- ful figures of our century clearly indicates in his autobiography just how mischievous are those who control much of what we read and hear. He, at one time, believed that if only men would use their reason they would be in a position to solve their problems and to get on with the business of decent human living . . . but he has dispared and now quite frankly states that Europe is incapable of solving her pro- blems. Man does not use his reason rea- sonably . . . he misuses it in the interests of his blind passions and emotions . . . . and there are those who are ever ready to capitalize on this to their own aggrand- isement. Until we can seek conscientiously for the truth of the matter . . . the world picture will change but little. Truth is not what you want to believe . . . nor what some one else wants you to believe but rather it is that which has to do with facts, accurate knowingly . .. wit NOTES AND COMMENTS and tested deductions and carefully ob- ~ served results which create a measure and an understanding . . . all else is chaos . and we already have too much of that. MOVING DAY This is the week of May 1 and through- out this fair land of Canada thousands of our distracted fellow countrymen will be tearing up their households literally by the roots with a grim and desperate determina- tion to put them down elsewhere. There is something fine and challenging about the whole procedure up to the very moment when you begin to pack. Then you are assailed with great dark doubts about the wisdom and no re-assurances dispell the underlying insecurity of it all. Nor does the sad accumulation of the years help matters as untold junk is pulled from its resting place. All those treasures so carefully husbanded appear in their true light . . worthless accretions to bedevil the irate housewife and the bewildered spouse. Work and more work; confusion and yet more confusion; the boxes, crates, bask- ets, and chests fill and overflow and still the tide of material things rises infuriat- ingly. You begin to cling to the mover as a sort of angel of mercy whose magic will some- how-save you at the last moment. The pile of garbage is humiliating . . it over- flows the yard . . what must the neigh- bours think . . resolve firmly never to al- low things to come to such a pass again. . and they don't until the next move, You can't escape the place too quickly now . . . but even the thought of the new house doesn't help much for you are quick to appreciate that there another mess awaits you, Moving day . . . grimmest day of all the year. i But the mover grins and bears up well. . but only at a price . . a price you pay . . . but even then it's the cheapest part of the whole deal. Moving day . . nothing so appropriate as a sympathy card . . . but friends just laugh at Ja plight and smile wilful satisfaction you reason .. . their day . . their mov- ing day is going to come sometime . . and there is surcease. Art "Exhibition | The following is from the col- ums of an Ottawa Paper, ANN FARMER BOYD LANDSCAPES HAVE DISTINCTIVE QUALITY An exhibition of 16 paintings from the brush of Ann Farmer Boyd, art teacher at the High School of Commerce Night School in Ottawa opened this week at the Rideau Street Branch of the Bank 'of Montreal. . Mrs. Boyd was greatly intrigued by the possibilities of the green tinted public wall in the recently renovated bank. - She felt that the neutral shade and the fine light- ing would meet the requirements of an art exhibit. Bank Manager Douglas B. Peters, however, also realized the possibilities of using the space for art exhibits and his C : innovation is likely to spread. C. F.

C. Whitby as chairman, and Mr. G. E. Sulman as convener. The National Film Board, a fe- deral department, provides assist- ance to municipalities throughout Canada in organizing and admin- istering an adult education pro- gram through 16 mm. films. Mr. Ronald Ward and Mr. William Proctor represented the Board in a very capable manner, answering the questions put to them by their interested audience in a friendly, informal manner. They stressed that the Board fosters a policy of helping others to help themselves in obtaining in- formation on a wide variety of in- teresting and informative subjects through the medium of films. "Membership in the National Film Board .costs $2.60 per year, with an additional charge of 26c¢. per reel for renting black & white films for one night, and 60c. for coloured film. To join the already organized York-Ontario County Film Council. they pointed out, would cost each local organization $10.00 per year; $20.00 for a school ($10.00 yearly for each additional room, up to a maximum of $60.00; or $25.00 yearly for a church, containing geveral sub-organizations. - At today's prices, a good pro- jector, case and screen would cost about $600.00. : Mr, Gordon Reesor asked Mr: Sulman if he would recommend which of the two film plans we should adopt. Mr. Sulman recom- mended our joining the York-Ont. County Film Council. As a result Messrs, Reesor and Boyd spon ., sored a motion that we seek an . affiliation with that body.

Ae ew Edition A new book that is certain to be a publishing success was being distributed widely through the mails in Port Perry this week. It's the 1952 telephone directory, fresh off the presses and bound in a green cover, which disting- uishes it from last year's buff- colored edition. There are 17,499 new and changed listings included in the new directory, according to A. A. Gillespie, Bell Telephone manager here. Owing to this, Mr. Gilles- personal lists of telephone num- bers against the numbers listed in the new book and to make any ne- cessary alterations. "Looking up the desired number before calling," he said, "helps to avoid the possibility of getting wrong numbers and saves time for both the calling and called parties. 'Information' should be called only when the numbér you are seeking is not listed in the directory." Other suggestions to help sub- scribers obtain the best possible service from thelr telephones are included in the directory. In ad- dition, there is a 'handy list of emergency numbers on page one, a list of typical long distance rates and, as an added service, some essential postal information. Besides Port Perry, the direc- tory includes listings for subscrib- ers in Oshawa, Port Hope, Whitby, Cobourg and many other nearby communities, Indicative of the continuing growth of this area is the fact that 41,320 copies of the new hook were printed to supply subscribers this year, compared with 86,296 copies of the 1961 edition. The local book is one of 50 the Bell Company will publish this year." The largest is the Montreal directory, with 1,648 pages, while the 48-page Maniwaki hook is the smallest. In all, the company will have more than 2,600,000 directories printed. to supply subscribera throughout its Ontario-Quebec territory.
