In all the magnificient wealth of wis- dom found in the Bible, those words are the saddest indictment of man's inhumanity to man , . . of the under- lying injustice of a selfish, animal nature which men of good faith must fight and overcome. AE rr om i Cane Now There may be little of a dramatic nature in the simple story of a family's need . . . of that need being called to the attention of The Salvation Army's welfare services. And of the response. First the welcoming hand extended . . . then the parcels of food, the furniture and the identification with the need of those who suffer privation. But the real story, rich with drama and warmth, lies in the heart of those who give, and those who receive. Not a gift to those who. ask, but.a. sharing. with those who need. Support Red Sh ~ Cowboy Driver Pays For Antics The "cowboy" at the wheel pays for his foibles, according to the Canadian Highway Safety Council. He is a def- inite menace in road traffic. but, usu- _ally without realizing it, his antics cost him money. For exampe, every time he forces his car tires to scream in careening swerves, jack-rabbit starts or sudden stops, he scrapes rubber val- ued at from 50 cents to $1.50, off the tires depending on the degree of viol- ence, If his tires are not properly in- flated, and it is a safe bet that they are not, his loss is even greater, the Council said. Every motorist has a responsibility to keep his tires in good condition, for - economic and safety reasons. Tires that are overinflated or underinflated will wear faster. Excessive heat is a tire's worst enemy. Heat is produced speed, under-inflation and overloading. Running a tire at.sustained high speed under such conditions will raise its ii temperature and may reduce its £47 strength. A driver can expand the tire's ih life by maintaining proper inflation i and avoiding high speeds, fast turns, i driving over curbs and potholes, jack- Ww rabbit starts, panic stops, washboard 7 roads and riding the edge of the pave- hi ment.

A resolution passed at the annual meeting in Toronto asks the federal and provincial government to take "ef- fective steps" to eliminate all advert- ising. In previous years the doctors have merely requested that cigarette advertising . on- television:-be restricted to night-time when young children might not be watching. The latest step in the doctors' war on cigarettes was recommended by the O.M.A. committee on public health. The committee said the control of advertis- ing "is mandatory from a health point of view" because "a link between cig- arette smoking and lung cancer, coron- ary artery disease, bronchitis and em- physema has been established beyond a reasonable doubt". STORE HOURS (Continued) ly. The bus, according to a spokesman has been parked as long as two hours on the street. It was suggested that the bus stop be moved to the parking lot just south of the Municipal Building. It was also pointed out that there is a certain amount of danger in regard to the angle parking on Water Street, and tention of the proper authori- ties. SMILEY GOES FISHIN' First trout-fishing trip of the year is like a good spring tonic. It cleanses you physically and spiritually. And leaves you exhausted. I had mine last Saturday. The important thing in going after speckled trout, of course, is the careful planning. There's no use to it at all if you just throw your fishing gear in the car, and go out to some stream where all the amateurs angle, and toss in a line. You're liable .to .come home with a creel full of fish if you go at it in this haphazard way. No. First of all, you select a fishing com- panion. This, to a real angler, is just a bit less important than choosing a mate for life. You want a dependable sort of chap -- the type who is going to have fresh worms for both of you, a: good supply of hooks, maps with the sure-fire holes marked in red, and an infallible sense of direction in the bush. That's exactly what I lined up this year. Mind you, those keen types take a bit of man- aging. They're great in the bush, but they need an organizational mind to channel their energies. I had to get quite firm with him when he began muttering about 4 a.m. and hitting the stream at dawn. Dawn, indeed. | told him that is pure super- stition. Only the very young, immature angler goes floundering off in the dark, fishes like a fool until noon, then is whacked for the day. Just about then, the wily, mature angler, for- ified with a good breakfast, arrives and slavg- ii BCU A ia RikERatEt Ii ogee od -t Sha 3 pa rid 50 YEARS AGO ~Thurs., May 23, 1917 Mrs. George Jackson of Port Perry presided at the .

Well, we got away about 10.30, after a coup- le of false starts. He forgot his lunch and we had to go around to his place. And when we got out to the County Line, I realized that be- cause of his stupidity I'd been upset and had forgotten my waders. But he had a beautiful spot picked out. You park the car just off the road, and walk up this hydro line to the stream. The stream was _just in there past the fourth hydro tower, he - thought. It was just past the 14th. And they're 100 yards apart. ' Not another angler in sight, I gloated. We cached the lunch and began working up the stream. I.-like that word we anglers use. "Working." You couldn't hire a man to do it Slash in the face from an alder. Hole in the boot from a snag. Slide from a log and oh-oh-oh as you hit that spring- fed water. Lose a boot in the mud. Scratch hands to a bloody mess on jagged branches. But it's all worth it if the trout are biting. And, boy, were they biting! They were biting each other on the neck, nibbling each other's ears, and snapping each other in half, as far as I know. But they weren't biting worms. After an hour of torture that would have made the Gestapo green with envy, we arriv- ed at the big pool above the beaver dam.

We fished. Harder. A baby beaver surfaced, swam casually to within four feet, looked at each of us, and expressed his feelings by turning his rump in the air and submerging. We fished: Desperately. Suddenly there was a huge slash, then a ker-plunk, ker-plunk, and a big buck deer splashed through the shallows and away, sneering over his should- er. That did it. We left. But there was no point, said my mate, in taking the long, tortuous trail back down the stream, through that heavy slash. So, with his infallible sense of direct- ion, we swung around in a circle by the high ground. The high ground turned out to be cedar based in mud, both so thick you had to érawl most of the time. The circle turned out to be the two long sides of an isosceles tringle. Two hours later, we hit the hydro road right on the nose. Execpt that the nose had moved about a mile due east, My first trout trip of the season. And be- lieve me -- I don't care if Mrs. Richard Bur- ton wants to go along next time -- it's my last.
