Clipped Comments SUMMER COTTAGERS Tremendous developments have ta- ken place in townships having lake- shore frontage. Farm land and waste land which a few years ago was con- sidered to be of very little-value has been converted into valuable resort properties. ~~ Hundreds of cottagers have spent thousands' of dollars on buildings, landscaping and water equipment. Traffic to and from the Jake districts has brought thousands of dollars into the pockets of merch- ants and businessmen in adjacent towns and villages and the treasuries of townships have been lined with new found tax money. Many of these | cottage owners are salaried individuals who have expended liberally in order to establish a spot on the lakeshore for their families. As the seasons rolled by they have added to their properties and made them very pre- sentable. For; many it has heen hard work but as a result they have some- thing: to. show for the effort. In recent years Township assess. ments have advanced, hydro conven- fences cost more and taxes have soar- ed. The question has often arisen a- mong, cottagers: 'Are we getting value, for. our taxes?" In most cases the anawer is, affirmative but there is a prevailing opinion that in' many ways the Township, Councils are not playing ball with the cottage. owners, True:the, cottage owner has to pay school taxes, although he has no one attending the township school: The cottage owner has' to pay for: road work, for eradication' of weeds, for garbage collection and some places for fire protection through his taxes. More reciprocation' on the part of Township authorities mightt-be: the answer to criticism. How often does the Townphip grader go over the roads. In some areas the weeds a- long township roads at the resorts have never been sprayed or cut. If gome of these ntunicipal authorities would spend more attention to giving resort: areas more services for taxes there .would' be; more happier cottage owners. High, --~Canadian Statesman.

We. have. pointed. to accidents.in which. lack of ability to read signs was a contributing factor. It now turns out that this is because of a defect in the laws regarding the licensing of motor vehicle drivers in Ontario. In.a recent case in Cooksville, near Toronto the magistrate strongly cri- ticized a license examiner for grant. ing a chauffer's: license to a man who was unable to speak English, He ar- gued that the man, not knowing Riig- lish, could not observe the traffic laws of Ontario, which are all printed in that language. That ia an angle even more important than being unable to read road. signs in English, As a result of this case, A. G. Mec- INabb, registrar of motor vehicles for Ontario, has revealéd the bad situa- tion" which prevails, There is nothing in existing law, he declares, which re- quires that: every applicant for a dri- ving permit; no matter what his na- tionality; must be able to speak, read and understand English, This is a defect inthe law which we feel should be remedied without delay. We have no objection what- ever to New Canadians having the privilege of driving motor vehicles. But we are strongly of the opinion ®meomedtht=before being allowed to do so they should be at least able to speak and read enough English--to under- stand the traffic laws and read the signs. We agree thoroughly with the Cooksville magistrate in that regard. In these days when highway acci- dents are mounting and:the death toll from them is increasing, we feel. this is the least that should be: expected of any applicant for a permit to drive. It is in the.interest of the New Cana- diana themselves that the law should be amendéd to make this obligatory. --The Watchman-Warder. Of Many Things By Ambrose Hills MANITOBA-EATS BETTER I'm forced to.admit that I can now get meals in Manitoba that are as good or just about as good as. ever enjoyed -in Montreal or Toronto. Two years ago when I moved back West I wrote a column raising hob with the restaurants here. understand why, with some of the best beef, pork and vegetables in the world, the restaurant meals were so flat and dull and unappetizing. With few ex- ceptions, the eating was atrocious. Some of my friends who take a drink spoofed me about the column. They know: I'm a non-drinker, so they were quick to assert that things would improve when Manitoba's new liquor Jaws. came into effect. "You'll get better food," they said, "and we drinkers: will be paying for it. It's not fair." Well, I don't know who is paying for it, but my wife and I had one of the best meals of our lives last night in a. Winnipeg, restaurant. It was a beautiful place, with deep carpets, soft music in.the background, and my filet mignon was. about two inches thick. My wife, who is as slim as the day. 1 married, her, had a ham steak with some kind of sauce that made her lyrical. The waiter seemed as at- tentive as it is possible to be although we ordered no wines, cocktails or li- qeurs. The tab totalled $6.60, most of which was for my $3.60 steak. Not too bad for a celebration--much better than for: or. five dollars for a poor meal in dismal surroundings! I musticonfess that I"still can't un- derstand why the restaurants need to serve liquor in order to provide such fine:meals, but I'm not complainhig as long; as they don't force the:liquor on me-tand this restaurant certainly gave ug as good service a they could give to royalty. We did see trays of cooktaila: taken: to a few tables, and one. handsome-looking old couple had champagne, but all was sedate. If all the-50 outlets licensed so far in Win- nipeg are as fine there'll be mighty few complaints. ( The: other day, Mr. Barnard Hal- stead, chairman of the liquor commis- sion; bragged that "instead: of the I couldn't | THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS Two heroes from the pages of J.

Letter from India The following is an excerpt from a letter received from Miss Zaida Eng- land. Many of the ladies might re- member this missionary lady who spoke in Port Perry about two years ago, while home on furlough from India. After the coolness of the beautiful hills of 'Kodaikanal the return to the plains and Parola and the heat was not too comfortable. We have been back on the! station ten days and the tem- perature has continued to stay around 108. The water in the outside tank is sometimes too hat for a bath but not hot enough to make tea. The expres- sion "hot enough to fry eggs on the sidewalk!" could I think "be carried out in actuality these days. We have had to use a spoon in the butter dish ever since our return. There have been dark clouds most days but today was the first shower that we have had. It hasn't cooled the air very much because the earth is baked hard and the first rains only bring steamy heat, but at least there is relief in sight now as the monsoons begin, Three months from now we'll be sick of the sight and sound of the rain drumming on our cement sheeting roof day after day, but today just the thought of the cooling comfort it will bring is a refreshing thought. Am: bition to do anything, even write let- ters home, has been lacking biit now the thought of a cool evening ahead has inspired me to start my letter home. About nine years ago I wrote you of an engagement and wedding which we had here in Parola. David and Jenabai, the bride and groom of that occasion now have five lovable chil- dren--4 boys and a girl. Now pre- paratians are underway for another wedding in the Swarge family. This time Dinker--one of the young men who works with us in the dispensary. The date has been set for Wednesday, June 26th. The arrangements began just about two months ago when I wrote to the missionary in charge of the Nosik orphanage asking if she had a young lady of marriageable age, and 'suitable education for a 23 year old, matric pass. We are not usually. con- cerned with looks, or money but with Christian character when we try to choose a mate for our young people. Almost any day in the newspapers of India one can read in a column headed "Matrimonial" such items as this, "a fairly beautiful educated and homey Hindu girl for a handsome Aggarwal bachelor aged 26. Engineer, educated in America, well settled, present sal- ary over Rs per month--correspond- ence invited from well earning, hand- some, qualified independent Parsee bachelors for pretty wealthy daughter 24 -- settled lawyer invites matri- monial correspondence. Only pretty, music loving girls between 23 and 28 yéard nced write." ~ However, as we send a letter of in- quiry for a young man or a young woman we back the request by prayer that one'of his choice might be sug- gested. In his case a letter came back to me suggesting Berketbai, a 19-year-old orphan who had been working for missionaries as an "ayah" for the past couple of years and who now wanted a home of Her own. I passed the information on to David who is taking care of the matter for Dinker, and they decided to call their Father from Yaval and the three of them went to Nasik on April 30th, They arrived early in the morning, boozing spree predicted by some, Man, itoba's new liquor outlets have spark- service. volution, but instead we've had a quiet evolution." ed « definjtelimprovement in. food and | Some people expected a re-| After last night's dinner, I'm in. on a small rug on the floor and one talked «first with the Missionary in charge and then met the young lady about 9 a.m. Both must have liked what they saw because the public en- gagement took place that afternoon at 4.80. The engagement in India is a family affair, The young couple sit LJ | to the young lady. =L of his family present a blouse and sari Then tea and Indian sweets are served to all the friends gathered. David, Dinker and Mr. Swarge set out for home that evening and the young couple will not meet again "until the wedding day. Their engagement has been extra long (they are usually only three weeks) because they wanted to wait until we returned from the hills. Also they forgot about publishing the "banns" and so proceedings have been help up two weeks longer than planned. The announcement has to be read at three services and a' notice with the young couples names and'their ages, the of: ficiating Pastor's name, etc. is attach- ed to the church door. The days since our return to Parola have been busy ones for David, Dinker more or less looks on and' observes. He is just the bridegroom. His brothers attends to all the: details. The wedding sari has been:bought (a very pretty white silk one with a deep blue border) the second sari I brought from Madras (a wine and gold silk). The white sari is used just for the ceremony and seldom used again. ex. cept on very special occasions during the bride's life time. The second sari is used for the 'jevern' or feast which follows the wedding, A piece of beautiful white figured satin has been "bought for the blouse and I have writ- ten to Nasik for Berketbai's pattern and size. His shoes have been bought, and a suit is being made by the tailor, also a pink shirt! David is also look- ing. after the other details such as wedding invitations, garlands, mengl- sutre, (black and gold wedding beads) --rings are seldom used--and supplies for the 'jevern". This morning David showed us the printed invitations that were ready to go into the mail bag. 1 noticed, and remarked on the fact that there were two names down. for: Ber- wetbai. Her own and Rebecca. David said "Dinker didn't like her name so this will be her new one". A very common practice in India. Berketbai will know of the change when she gees the invitations! : How about their home? Dinker's sole possession besides clothes at pre- sent is one battered suit case. Fur- niture is being moved into his one roomed house now. Well, it isn't furniture yet. He believes in the do-it-yourself idea. Medicine boxes from the dispensary store room have been appropriated and some will be nailed together for an open cupboard, while another will have a hinged lid fixed to -it- as a storage cupboard, while still another box will have a hinged screerf door fixed on to make a 'pinzer' food'box. Chairs, table and bed are non esssentials as they eat and sleep on the floor. Household supplies are being stored in screw top bottles and tight lidded tins (alsa from my ° supply in the dispensary. . Brass cook- ing things and dishes will probably be given as wedding gifts and silverware is not needed as they eat with their fingers. Indeed setting up houskeep- ing in India presents few problems! June 26th--The rains broke several days ago so we had hope for nice weather for the "tieing of the knot". That isn't just a saying in India. It ° is an actual custom. At 3.30 p.m. it was pouring but by 4.16 the sky look- ed brighter and the rain was falling in a thin drizzle. At 4.30 when the first bell rang the rain had stopped and the sky was faily clear. Our Christian sweeper bai arrived soaked so we had to. make a hurried trip to our house and drape her in a. clean and dry blouse, perker and sari of mine. 1 had to call down to the wed- ding partyjust as they were: leaving David's- hbuse to slow down for a couple more mintites so that we.could complet Pyanahai's hasty change. of clothes and get to the church ahead of the bridal procession. The actual ceremony was simple and very lovely. We had prayed much (continued on page 8) wo!
