Perhaps this is a good "thought to hold in the mind as all the special events come to a close. Our bird's- eye view of what the schools are doing may he shut out but the schools are still func- tioning. Your child is still being taught and learning more or less Wsyhaialy throughout the whole year. We have been told so often now that at last we have learned, that the finest kind of educationwe can give our child is the education that will help him sort out the cheap from the best and use the bést in all walks of life. What opportunities have we given the child to do this in our commun- ity? . What opportunities have we given him in the home? Look" around you at the books and ,hagazines in the home? Are there any? if so are they worthwhile or plup? How much time does television take? What programmes does the child see and hear? Are there family gatherings Gan Your Child Draw? What does it matter, you say? Why, I can't even draw a straight line! Strangely. . enough we are learning to-day that it matters a great deal. Practically every child you have ever known goes through the scribbling stage. He loves to get a coloured crayon and scrawl to his heart's content all over the - page. Little by little forms emerge--per- haps they are not forms to you but they are to him, He will 'tell you, "That is Daddy", pointing to a crooked circle and some sticks; or "There is a house"'--or maybe "a dog". A tiny little drawing a half inch long and just about as high turn- ed out to be a couple of children on a teeter- totter, when we had been educated by the ~ child to see it properly. ds What is the child doing as he goes through this stage in his life? Actually he is trying in his own crude way to make -% at certain times of day and pleasant meals - with a balanced diet, properly" prepared? Do father and Mother quarrel continually? Does 'money cause trouble in the home? Are children allowed to make tings. on their own? There are a few, a ery few of the ques-- tions we might ask ourselves? What opportunities does the community supply for good education? What kind of schools do we have? What sort of com- munity recreation /is there? Is there meaningful work for boys and girls in our own community? What is the nature of our public sport? Does it lead boys and girls to a healthy team-play attitude or an "I'M the Star" attitude? : What opportunities are there in our re- ligious life--oyr churches--for the enrich- ed development of the child? minister's sermons related to life in a real way? Does the Sunday School function as 'a place of real study? Is the Christian example being worked out there by thoughtful adults? : ful thought of Daddy or our house and now he finds through his crayon he is able to give it out again in a way that will show "everybody that it belongs him. It is part of his equipmerit -- idea. This identification makes it more real to him and at the same time leads him completely out of himself in his absorption with mak- ing a new creation--his picture. To-day psychiatry recognizes art as one of the best ways of forgetting oneself and 'yet at the same time having a sense of ac- complishment 'and belonging. Who cares whether your landscape is a materpiece? . all well and good if it is but if it is not you have still the wonderful satisfaction of having become completely caught up in nature while you were sketching and a wonderful elation at finding you are a special person with something to say in your own way; that no one else can say it. Let your child draw. Encourage it. Peace Are the - kids for life his own. He has taken in the wonder- of mind may be the rich result. Re Minor House League Hockey Dear gue Would you allow space for a little much needed: gncouragement for the boys«who have spent endless hours in the rink both through the week, and particularly Saturday morning? .Since it has been hard to secure the icé for a night play-off game, our coaches took the trouble to arrange the games for Monday night and ask- [ed each player to ask his' parents to attend. - -- Parents! Do you know how many were there? Perhaps half a dozen, the ones you can always rely on. Are you parents not interested in what your children are doing? Or perhaps it was the small charge that frightened you all away? Can you tell us how we can get you parents to come out? We would appreciate your suggest- ions to stimulate interest in our future hockey teams. Do you as parents expect these coaches to continue fo give up their Saturdays' and evenings to help to dis- courage juvenile delinquency by keep- ing them interested in hockey or do you consider one or two evenings at play off-time too much to give up of your time while coaches have spent the winter with them. The teams will play-off for final standings next Monday night, March 12th. at the local arena.' The little N.H.L at 7 p.m. The bigger group at 8 p.m. Come on Parents, Come out and sce how well | your boy plays, and you will enjoy yourself too. Let's show Joé and Barry we 'are behind them all the way, and that we appreciate their coaching and that it is not just a place to get rid of the Saturday morning. 'There will be a charge of twenty- five cents for adults and -ten cents for children. Come and bring the family. Thanking you, Mr, Editor. Just One of the Parents, " P.S.--This money js to be used for equipment for the children. The Week in the Legislature DR, M, 'B. DYMOND .- The first three days of this week saw the winding up of the debate on the Speech from the Throne, An amendment to 'the motion was pro- posed by Mr. Oliver for the Liberal opposition, and Mr, MacDonald for the C.C.F. group proposed --a further amendment to the Liberal Amendment. The vote showed the amendment lost by 75 to 12, the Liberals and the CCF voting together. On Thursday Mr. Porter bresented his first Budget for the Government, showing the 13th consecutive surplus and budgeting for a 14th surplus of $760,000.00, This was the largest budget in the history of Ontario, call- ing for an expenditure of $4193 mil- lions and anticipating revenue of $420%% millions. The announcement that there would be no new taxes was welcome news indeed but the statement on the amount of new money that will have to be found in the next few years to meet the cost of expan- sion in the Provincial economy was little short of staggering. This was estimated at over eight billion dollars. In this article I only propose to touch in a very general way with sonte fads tors of the budget and will hope to deal with more specific items as the various departmental programmes are brought before the house. Before doing this, however, three matters were discussed in the House 'land in committee which I believe were of particular interest to the farmers of this riding and indeed the whole Province. A bill was introduced by the Minister of Agriculture, Ton. F. Thomas providing for grants to Class "C" Fairs, and another bill to provide for a marked extension of the Brucel- losis Control Act. - In the Agricultural Committee of the House we heard a most interesting discussion of the Hog Marketing Act. Mr. McInnes of the Hog Producers Association, and Mr, Manning of the Packers Council were both heard and questioned at some length and in some detail.

One guid- ing principle to which he adheres constantly, has brought him countless blessings. When he bought his first shop, in a small Manitoba town, he made a de- cision. Never, under any circumstan- ces, would he say anything harmful or mean about 'any. person in town. He knew, from experience, that a bar- -beishop can be a point of harmony or a center for gossip and dissension; and he determined that his shop would try for the harmony and avoid the dis- sension, a Saturday and the benches were lined. An extremely frugal farmer came in and had, his hair cut, When the far- "Did you see the pained look on old 'Joe's face when he paid up?" It would have been easy for the bar- ber to join the laughter and add to it. Instead, he said, "Well, anyhow, he paid up. I bet he never left a bill unpaid anywhere in this town. Bet he don't owe a nickel to any one of you fellows. I never heard any case where Joe was a deadbeat--he always paid his share." Customers came to know that if my barber cut thei} hair, they could walk? out of his shop afterwards and know for sure that there would be nothing derogatory said about them the mo- ment they closed the door. Indeed, they knew that if any one started throwing sarcastic remarks around, the barber would quietly set them right. : My barber is a good barber; he is also a good man, He has done well. He has succeeded financially, and he is happier than most men, I think he has earned all this, What do you think? § s 01d? Get Pep, Vim Feel Full of Vigor; oh Younger of 40, 50, 60.

At nine o'clock jon the morning of Wednesday, February 29 a group of forty-four grade 10, 11 and 12 boys set out for a day in Toronto as plan- ned by our shop teacher,, Mr. Jefford. At about 10.30 our bus pulled up to the parking lot of Sangamo Company Limited, manufacturer of electric mo- tors and Watthour meters. The first lap of our tour was through the sec- tion where electric: motors are made. "We saw the whole operation, from { stock metal and copper wire to a com- plete motor, ready to run. The seec- ond lap of our tour through Sangamo Company took us through the Watt- hour meter section, where the meters on the side of our house are made. This operation was much more diffi- "It wasn't easy. He opened shop on cult to understand than the production | of motors, but our main interest was in the type of manufacturing. In this Bection each boy was given a very mer left the shop, «a customer said, powerful magnet as used in the Watt- hour meters. Sangamo also treated us to a delicious lunch in ik fate. teria. _ In the afternoon we toured: ir 3 Mas- sey Harris plant from one end to the other. This plant produces Combines mainly. The most interesting opera- tion in this plant was a machine that made crankshafts for the feeder in a combine, in oné operation a piece of stock round metal was tempered and bent. The bar was placed in a series of clamps and heated red hot, the clamps moved to bend the bar, then held it securely in position until it cooled; .

Parker, a farmer from Sebringville, Ont., who is most opposed to the whole idea of the Agency was also heard and questioned. Because of the diversity of views and opinions expressed by these gentlemen, it would be quite fu- tile to try fo reach any conclusion re] this matter, but one does hopes that the air will be much cleared after the matter has been dealt with by the Supreme Court of Canada next month, [ am very certain that every Rural M.P.P. is determined to see that every- thing possible is done to make this or some type of legislation work to the fullest extent when the case is finally settled.
