I -- THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE Thursday, July 3rd, 1958 . short Notes and Comments Lindsay, Plaza de Toros Bull-fighting. is to be introduced into _ + +Canada, Lindsay is the pioneer in a some-" what tentative movement to present, to the people of. this: country the. not-so-gentle sport of bull-fighting. But if anyone thinks that the bull spectacle at Lindsay bears any deep resemblance to the real thing, he is greatly mistaken. Bull-fighting is traditionally the great national sport of Spain. In that country the sport has flourished since the time of the Moors. At one time it was the sport of kings, princes, and the aristocracy. How- ever, the rules and the procedures changed so'much that the sport was finally handed over to a group of professionals. Since 1700 their job has been to put on a bloody spectacle of great magnificence and daring in order to charm the public and win the support of the people in terms of moriey and fame, * _ Bull-fighting has three stages. In the first stage the picadores\mounted on ex- pendable nags are busily engaged in work- ing the bull up-to a fine frenzy of fury. During this phase of the sport the horse is the go-between and usually come in for some woeful punishment. Frequently, tHe horses are killed. The picadores use a pike called a garrocha to strike the bull's back. After the bull has been goad- ed sufficiently, the second phase begins. His prowess is determined by .the number "final blow called the estocada. of horses he has killed. In an average year about 6000 horses are so despatched in the *bull-rings of Spain. : Then the banderillos plant their eighteen inch darts in the bull. . .These are very gaily be-ribboned darts and by the time the bull has his complement of eight he's quite a sight. By this time his rage knows no bounds and we are ready for the third stage of the public tragedy. The matador armed with his special sword, the estoque, play with the enraged animal until he has manouevered him into positionand then he proceeds to deliver the The trick is to finish the bull with a single strike. Not always is this possible and the mata- "dor must thrust again and again. But the bull-fight in Lindsay will have none of these bloody aspects for it is de- signed to:capture all the colour of the spec- tacle without enacting any of the more real and fatal'movements of the drama. That is why it is nonsenee to seriously protest against what Lindsay is doing. This is not the real drama of the plaza de toros of Spain but rather a staged drama in which all the participants are merely players even the:bull whose life is going to be: guaranteed by the S.P.C.A. So good- luck Lindsay with your bull-fight, and let's hope you:do all right. The New Phase the Soviet. Lester Pearson is on solid ground when he warns the western world that we must get to gether on trade rather than:on-de- fense if we are to peacefully co-exist with » Inflation in the West is stemming direct- ly from the exorbitant strain placed upon our economy by our military defense :bud- get. Inflation prices us out of world markets. and leads to lowered: production and consumption at home, The western countries have demonstrated that they can get together and co-operate in times of great crisis but they have yet to show that they can co-operate with each other in the the course of normal events. Unless'we can turn Nato into something more- realistic than a loaded pistol which we might have to aim and discharge at the - Soviet, the next few years do not promise: to be easy ones for us. The Republicans in the States are really in trouble about the present depression and they are in greater trouble over their trade policies. We in Canada are beginning to move in the same direction. It is more difficult for the democracies: to take a long view of the world situation and to plan accordingly, but it is also in- creasingly apparent that this is what we must do if we are to survive in competition with a power as ruthless as that now in control of the Soviet.

Of Many Things By Ambrose Hills ADVERTISING The other day a merchant in assmall 'town told his editor that he had de- cided to stop his advertising and save money. k : "Okay," said the editor. "And while you are at it, why don't you stop your watch and save time?" The merchant, fortunately got the point. He is advertising more heavily than ever, which means he is doing what is necessary to make money, rather than lose money. You don't save any money by stopping advert- ising any more than you save time by stopping your watch, Of course, if you have a poor watch, you ought to change it. And if your advertising is not paying off, you ought to make it better. Too many merchants get less results than they should from their advertising because they give it so little of their attention. Advertising ought to be prayed over. I've known merchants, with very little education, who could prepare an advertisement as well as or better than some of the experts on Madison Avenue, about their customers, and what the customers would be looking for at each season, When an advertisement appears, it is always wise to clip it and show it in the window of the store, together with some of the items it talks about. This combination of advertisement and display has been making money for the big stores for the last twenty years. Why some of the smaller mer- chants neglect it, I cannot understand. Some retailers are merchants of apathy--not products! Retailers in small towns miss too many opportunities. De you know, for example, that now-a-days the trend is for farm families to own a boat and outboard motor? They load them on truck or trailer and hit for the nearest lake to bath and swim after a day in the fields. That's a trend in the U.S. and it will come to Canada. Why let these farmers go to the city for such requirements? Many a local hardware could make good money selling boats and motors in Canada this summer, to farmers, if they'd stock up and ad- vertise, Farmers, too, are going in for waterworks. Show them how, ad- vertise pumps and motors, and tell them how little it costs--and you'll be pleasantly surprised. I picked up a fine weekly paper just now., published in a good district in Southwestern Manitoba. Everything is good about it except the shortage of advertising, and the poor quality of the advertising . I wish I could get the merchants of that town together in one place and I'm sure I could prove to them that they've a gold mine among them and there're not sinking the shaft. They've got to fine news- paper and they don't know it. Or else they are just not interested in making money. REVIVING TENNIS IN LINDSAY Tennis, one of the finest games in the long list of sports, is to be revived in Lindsay. Efforts on the part of Recreation Director John Thorsen and others have resulted in a 'plan to organize junior players from the ages of 11 to 14. It is understood that arrange- ments have been made fo use the ten- nis court at the Collegiate Institute and that Mrs, Olga Simons has been contacted to act as an instructor. Both girls and boys will be enrolled The courts are said Mr ga de to be in very good shape. as masted BAAS ASE Porm They do a lot of thinking] District Churches SCUGOG, MANCHESTER, and PROSPECT CHURCHES One of the greatest benefits that accrued from our Sunday School Con- ference last week, was the free and easy discussions that took place. Of course one needs a good leader, and Rev. Horace Burkholder did excellent work. Sometimes we who are teach- ers are just a little afraid to reveal our ignorance on certain religious mat- ters, and we just keep away from such gatherings. It is a good thing to pool our experiences, and to be willing to learn from each other. Because in the final wmnalysis, we believe that Christianity works, and when every- thing else fails, we have faith, hope and love. We had teachers from our three churches, and a very good re- presentation too from the Island and Manchester. Rev. E. S. Linstead from Port Perry with his Superintendent and other teachers were there, and also Rev, and Mrs. Crawford from the Penticostal Church. We were sorry that both Ministers could not remain for the supper, and Evening sessions, and we appreciated their contribution. There were also teachers from Sea- grave, Epsom, and Prince Albert. We are planning to hold another confer- ence next year, and the following were clected a Committee to make the ne- cessary arrangements: Messrs. Gordon Reesor, Wesley Johnson, John Braham and Mts. Hunter. The Sunday School staff of Manchester served a lovely supper, and we all enjoyed the fellow- ship together. It was agreed that we commence our next Conference with a supper at 7 p.m, and just have one session. The holidays are here, and the weather is more like summer. Many of our 'Public Schools have taken the children on various outings. The writer went to Orono Park with the children of the Centre School, and re- ports a lovely day's outing. There is so much beauty right here at homel Orono Park is a beautiful spot, and the hedges and flower beds are won- derful. There is only one improve- ment that can be suggested, namely, the swimming pool. The tank needs a good cleaning out, and painting, to give the water that fresh and spark- ling appearance. We hope that this will be done right away. We had many visitors with us at Church on Sunday. The Cottages on the Island will all be occupied this week. Letters of welcome, and in- vitations to attend our Church services have been sent to each family, and we look forward to eseeing many new faces on Sunday. We had a number of visitors with us too at Manchester; but missed many of our own congre- gration. Some are on holidays, and we want them to know that we miss them. Our congregation at Prospect is always good. This coming Sunday will be promotion Sunday in the Sun- day School at Prospect. We have created a new class 'The Intermediate' for the older boys and girls. We hope that you will all be on hand on Sunday at 9.16 a.m. at Prospect Church. At Scugog Church the Choir sang "Liv- ing for Jesus". For the Summer months, Mrs, Braham is taking the organ while our organist, Mrs, Edna Beckett has a rest. Both Edna Beckett | ppp, Glen Wanamaker who gave a and Roxy Webster have been most very fine address, specially to the ; young people. Miss Lily Harper, the | Y.P.U, President thanked Mr. Mills faithful, So has Mrs. Johnson, at Manchester; who carries on Summer and Winter, We do appreciate very much the work that is done by our choirs, On Sunday we hope to have the Junior Choir with us at our Island Church. We are happy to announce that we have secured all three anni- versary preachers, namely Rev. Philip Rid oy i| Romeril of Blackstock for Manchester on Sept. 7; Rev. Horace Burkholder for Prospect on Sept, 21, and Rev. M, C. Fisher of Newcastle for the Island on Oct, 19, At the Island the morn- ing service will be -held in Grace Church and the evening service in Head Memorial. Keep in mind Monday, July 14th, which is just one week from this com- ing Monday, when we shall commence our Daily Vacation Bible School to be held at Centre Church Building on the Island. For the first week, July 14-18 we shall have the Primary and Junior boys and girls, ages seven to twelve and over. The Kindergarten will come the following week, July 21. We shall need all the help available for transportation, and we do thank you one and all for your co-operation. Happy birthdays to Ross Carter, James Ashbridge, Dianne Fralick, Kaye Jackson, Linda Fralick and Joe- Ann Martyn of the Isand; to Cathie Richardson of Manchester; and to Donovan Smith of Prospect. And hearty congratulations to Ilene and Terry Hodgins of the Island on the birth of a little boy. To those who have been shut-ins, we hope that the coming of the warm weather will make it possible for you to enjoy some of the beauty of God's out of doors. We give you one and all a very cordial invitation to come and worship with us on Sunday, and we look forward to seeing you and your family.
