We show them a baseball hero who has made good in spite of the fact that he has only one arm. We let them watch Madame Curie as she struggles through the lonely years to the threshold of her great dis- covery, Radium, We let them see Lincoln buffeted about, awkward, ineffectual seemingly, for so many years but flower- ing at last with a graciousness of spirit that the perspective of history more than the man himself>has unfolded for us, to . see, We hope by all these examples to fire the child's imagination and spirit to a point where he will grow in his capacity to struggle through to a place where he can contribute something to our world for the good of mankind, Many boys and girls do just this. They too tackle heavy college courses and work hard during the summer to earn enough to go on with their studies for another year nay, practise long hours on the ball diamond or at the piano; they work in restaurants after re- gular hours to get ahead. They have 'A Basic Principle deviation Mr. Harry Truman, former President of the United States, has just published his memoirs. He believed that it was impor- {ant to do this because he claims that much of what passes for history has been dis- torted because the chief executives of his country did not make public during their lives the great facts of their administra- tion. The publication is interesting and important, But, perhaps the most im- portant thing he has to say is with regard to what good government really is. -He maintains that good government de- pends upon carrying out a general prin- ciple--that of administering the affairs of a nation, or a state, of a municipality for the good of all as opposed to administra- tion for the good of a special group. I'hig is basic to honest government. Any from this principle inevitably leads to corrupt or poor government. Those in office, high or low, are constantly faced with decisions and there is great tempta- 3 © NOTES AND COMMENTS Education by Proxy ~~ learned the basic.lesson of 'all these won- derful pictures of SUCCESS. They have learned to work patiently through boredom to a goal far ahéad. a Many' people seem to miss this basic lesson. Their imaginations are fired but they imagine themselves already at the top without the hard work necessary to achieve the goal. They ARE the football hero without doing the practice; they are the big referee without learning how; they imagine they have invented a rocket ship and are flying out through space without lifting a hand to learn the fundamentals of Science. These young people are our greatest worry. They will be disillusioned sooner or later, They will end up doing work very much inferior to that which they, in their imaginations, saw themselves doing. They will be secretly ashamed of themselves or they will go on being dreamers to such an extent that they never see the way the world looks at them. Education by proxy does not fulfil our ambitions. We can be as progressive as we like in our schools if we can only learn the secret of teaching our young people to love the challenge of plain, dirty, boring, hard work. . . : and supporters; and, then, those who must "for politic reasons be placated or kept quiet.

The parents who are sending their children have to pay four dollars a week for each child attending - merely to pay the cost of a private bus ser- vice. This, is the kind of thing that is repeatedly pulled in municipal polities to the detriment of the community.

FIRE DESTROYS FACTORY AT BOWMANVILLE A flash blaze gutted the Paul H. Simpkin Cabinet Co. plant op Church Street last Wedngsday, in the biggest fire here in many years, According to Proprietors Ron and Paul Simpkin, the plant closed down at 5.30 for the day. Dr. A. B, Syl- vester, a new doctor in Bowmanville, who lives next door, was eating sup- per about 7 p.m. when he noticed smoke and flames in the Simpkin plant. He said later that the flames at that point were coming from the floor on the ground level. ~~ After firemen kept the blaze at a minimum for about an hour, flames shot through the slate roof and with- in minutes the entire centre part of the structure was doomed. si Damage before the blaze was brought under control undoubtedly ran to many thousands of dollars as well as suspending operations of this plant for some time. There is insurance, but how adequate that will be in re- building and replacing valuable equip- ment is difficult to determine, Simpkin Cabinet Co. was opened in the old Slicer Factory in 1940 hy Paul 'Simpkin, father of the two present proprietors.

A total of 3,674 persons will be eli- gible to vote on these questions, 2H0 more than were qualified when the last plebicite was held in 19562. The list also contains 48 more names than the list for the provincial election in June.

Best example is British coal indus- try, which once provided large quan- tities of fuel for export. Today UK is importing coal, even from US, not because British coal resources have been exhausted, but because British miners, by seeking to stabilize em- "disturbed and unhappy. of Many Things . BE HAPPY 'Phe other day, when I urged a young lad to wear a smile and he happy, -he came back at me fast. 'How can I be happy when I'm not happy. You're just like my Dad. He tells me to love God. How can I make myself love God?' That was a poser. I was forced to admit that happi- ness is n task to be worked at--like bravery in the face of danger, or work in the face of doubt and despair. Abe Lincoln said that the average man is just about" as happy as he makes up his mind- to be. Robert Louis Stevenson said that there is no duty we underrate so much as the duty of being happy. On another oec- casion he spoke of being happy as a task. ) T hope the fact that to he happy re- quire that he work at it will not deter my young friend. After all, most of the good things of the world require work.: And work itself can be a joy, in spite of modern reluctance to en- gage in it. Something for nothing is usually something worth nothing. I did not try to answer the boy's problem "about making himself love God. I think that will be answered automatically if he accepts the truth about happiness. a I have never met a really happy man who did not love God and the world" God created." I have known men who did not belidve in God but such men always seemed to me to he Often be- cause they were busy trying to take God's place and run the world their way. ) Pretty unsatisfactory answers for the young man, I admit: But he will wait a long time if he expects anyone to hand him faith and happiness on a silver platter. Those are precious gifts each must seek for himself. Scugoy Scugog Home and School Associa- ployment, have made it too costly for. even domestic consumption. Organized labor's efforts to block; automation and to stabilize employ- ment by so-called 'wage guarantee' de- mands, are likely to impose far worse penalties upon workers than the tem= porary discomforts of technologleal and economic change.

We read recently where a survey made in Illinois helps tell the story. Over a ten-year period, careful records were kept of a group of farms where approved conservation practices were used and also of a group of physically comparable non-conservation farms. The facts produced are striking. At the beginning increases in farm income from good conservation tended to be relatively small. But later on they rose abruptly. At the end of 10 years, the conservation farms return- ed eight dollars more net per- adre than the non-conservation farms. And, of great importance, the conservation farmers maintained and improved the productivity of their land. Non-con- servation farmers, on the other hand, were forced to mine their land to earn a profit--to deplete it, and to pro- gressively reduce its productivity. Money-making practices which go to make up a complete conservation farm plan are simple. They consist of such things as proper land use; testing and treating the soil;-crop ro- tation; good water management, in- cluding . contouring, terracing and drainage; and efficient uge of legumes | grasses and other livestock feeds. Not many years ago such a pro- gram would have been far from simp- le. "For one thing, little was known about how to conserve land, For an- other, the farmer's main tools were his own muscles and those of draft animals. Now science has given us the necessary knowledge--and in mo- 'dern mechanical farm equipment we have the efficient, economical tools that are needed to do the job. We can conserve our irreplacable crop- lands--and we must, tion met last Wednesday evening at the Foot School. After our routine meeting two films were viewed and a film discussion period followed.
