We have all experienced a minute that seemed to stretch out into an hour; so, too, have we watched the hours skip by like . minutes. - Time as measured by the moy- - ing arms of the clock js not quite the same - time as that which we record in our minds and heart. Nor is time in a big-city the "same as time in a small town. In driving through small communities or in paying short visits to them, the first thing that strikes us is its time sense. We feel that it is somehow in some strange way different for every different place. Port Perry time is different from Brooklin time and it in turn is very different from time in Whitby--no joke.intended. Every little while to adjust to it. Only cities run on the same time. In the big cities time runs to extremes-- gt either goes so_quickly that you can't keep up to things . . or so slowly, so monoton- ously that life seems to stretch out an in- termjnable space of meaningless slow tick- ing moments. A . - «Three in One From time to time we hear considerable criticism of democracy as we know it. Much of this criticism is politically inspir- ed by those who tend to favour communsm or those who have adopted it outright. . Sometimes, however, the criticism is in no way connected with communism or com: It arises out present day evils and abuses obvious to any one... The wide- spread extremes of grim poverty and un- lieveable - richess; the ever-recurring. strikes; and the inefficient bureaucratic systems of government which we tend to. set up; all these provide thinking people with many examples of injustices and waste which cause them to wonder about _ the worth of democracy, Whenever we feel critical of our demo- cratic achievements we would do well to remember that our particular way of life is the only one which admits the individual playing three roles. Sh In our democracy a man is a cog while he's earning his living. Most people in our society work for wages, do a specific job, and have a rather limited scope. They are cogs in a vast loosely knit scheme of pro- duction. Away from the job they have opportunities to be both a common man-- as good as any other man--and a hero. In i) The best way to. acquire a. good: time sense is to start out life.on a farm. . here. the time is in tune: with nature, in tune with earth's unchanging moment round-the sun, in.tune with the infinite timeless roll- ing of the universe. . . Having acquired this basic rhythm one can then safely ven- ture into town and village where one ac- quires a new time sense, a time sense that takes into account the lives. of others . . but essentially a time sense that permits you to live richly and fully. To appreciate what these two times mean one should then go to the city . . . to a big city (but just for a short space) and really get into the rush and bustle of life where time like everything else runs a crazy race, Then back to the town and village in order to live. For in the small town.and. village there is time to live and a man's time sense re-asserts itself in a plain and sensible manner and nothing .would be more timély in a world such as ours, - 23 our free assocciations, in clubs, service-- recreation--business--and in the churches, we are.common men and women meeting together; working together, and playing to- gether onan equal footing with others. In the various offices we assume we have - ample opportunity to be the hero . . or at least to feel important and hecessary: And: 80 also in our free family relationships. __How different the picture is in Commu= nist countries. There you are a cog: and nothing more , . that.is unless you belong to the polit-bureau. Your pace is:establish~ ed and the state police see to it: that: you do. not deviate -- neither;in your family circle, nor in your clubs -- which are not free associations--nor in your church.' This alone serves to show the tremen- dous centrast in the two systems; While. no excuse for: tolerating. without criticismthe evils and abuses in our society . it sets the ground for constructive growth and development wherein we accept our. cog role only because it is useful; we assert our rightsias a co violate and we play.the hero wherever and whenever we can not only: for the benefit of others but also for the good of our own mon man as:in- souls, THE PASSING SHOW by 'M.A.C." _ A newspaper headline in the Ottawa : Citizen read: Why ARE the Caribou Disappearing from Canada's Demote Arctic Isle?

In his Gomparative- ly short political career he has served the people: as a Member of Parlia- ment; as a Cabinet Minister and Pro- vineial Treasurér and as Premier, He has by reason of reading and con. tinuous study vast information re- garding the resources of the country and a wonderful knowledge concern- ing the present development and as well 'has the foresight sufficient to paint a true picture of the future of Ontario. \ Addressing a large audience of Hy- dro-Electric Commissioners, engin- eers and office officials from Eastern Ontario a few days ago Premier Frost predicted that Ontario's expansion will be at the rate: of over fifty thou- '| sand in population-every year for the next few years and that by the end bof 1968 the population will increase by a million people. He emphasized | the great urgency for co-operation be- tween all the Provinces and that one should. not be vastly rich and the other comparatively: poor} that there should be inter-provincial relations and benefits. He predicted that On- tario would use much more oil as well as naturd]l gas from Alberta and that Ontario should use coal from Nova Scotia. At the same time Ontario's achievement and wonderful develop- ment regarding Hydro-Electric places this Province on a pedestal in expan- sion whic)' will go beyond the pro- vince ecially. when the St.-Law- rence seaway is built. Premier 'Frost is an optimist but knowa whereof he 'speaks. --~Watchman-Warder. { . BOWMANVILLE-- A letter from Town Council asking who is responsible for the cost of re- surfacing streets and sidewalks when they must be ripped up to install sew- 'er and water connections into homes was considered by the Public Utilities Commission at iits last meeting. It was moved that council be ad- 'vised 'that the resolutions concerning the replacing or repairing of broken walks or roads is covered by By-Law 879 concerning waterworks and sew- ange covers this matter. This by-law: says in part. "No side- walk, gutter or crossing shall be ob- structed while house sewers are he- ing installed. That proper barricades and lights shall be maintained by the contractor for the work, or by the town, to ensure the safety of the pub- lic. walks be cracked or otherwise injur- ed by execution of the work, the square or squares injured shall be re- moved and new squares constructed of the same quality of those injured, the cost of the same to be borne by the contractor," finished work fo cor- respond with original walk." i -- HALIBURTON-- : Confirmation has been received by the Municipality of Dysart and other interested parties that the hydro line to service the cottages in the Hali- burton Lake Developments will be construgted late this fall. As soon as the line is laid out by the engineers and 'the land easements arranged work can get under way. Service to the cottages has been proniised by next July first as the latest date. 'Enough applications have been re- ceived to warrant the construction of the line on the south, west and north '| sides of the lake. : --a BOWMANVILLE-- id It now looks as if the Durham Dis- trict High School Board has got one step, farther on its long debated pro- gram' of providing adequate school ing large profits from selling off top jaseqmmodation in Bowmanville and Port Hope High Schools. This hope- ful. and: optimistic feeling has beef Council at its meeting Thursday nite tentatively agreeing to give approval to the much needed and overdue build- ing program. This approval is thrown to the School Board as a bate provid- ing. the Board in return will agree to 'pay their fair proportionate share of the cost of a 10-inch sewage main .which the council claims will be need- ed in connection with the proposed site of the new school in Port Hope.

They not only cure good "health 'by the practice of pre- ventive medicine: Curative and pre- ventive medicine are inseparable and good hospitals are an essential part of a community's public health pro- gram, There was a time when there were no hospitals, This was when the na- tufe of 'disease was understood very little and when many people were governed by superstitions in respect to health matters. As the science of medicine advanced, so did the devel- opment of hospital techniques, As hospitals began to function on scien- tific -lines, public confidence in them advanced. >A good hospital contributes in sev- eral ways to public health. The pri- mary function of a hospital is, of course, the care and treatment of the sick. It is also a teaching and re- search centre, As medicine became concerned with the protection as well as the restoration of health the hos- pital's role broadened to unite cura- tive and preventive treatments. Hon. Paul Martin, Federal Minister of Health and Welfare, paid this tribute to Canadian hospitals recently: elemental human needs of the sick and the dying the hospital has been transformed into a health centre. To- day, the hospital is a bright symbol of haf. to every patiént who enters its doors.
