In fact the oldsters who have tried to carry on meantime, have felt a bit glhed about, which is all to the good, save for the effect on hardening arteries. While we have in some degree felt relegated to the gidelines, there has been time to think what ‘ this means; this quick return to daily Ks; the new capacities that have derived responsibilities carried in the struggle abroad. We are convinced that the future of Canada is in strong, willing, capable hands. This is the ond result we see right here in this office. Thus the struggle has its compensations. We have heard some speakers express the thougat that returned men might not be ready to settle down into business and emâ€" ployment after years of regimented life under high pressure and intense activity on the fighting fronts. It was also intimated in some quarters that employers were appreâ€" hensive that unrest after taking up old jobs might have the effect of slowing up proâ€" duction. But the plain facts are, as they have come to our notice, that these boys almost without exception have taken hold as though they had been away but a few weeks on holiday. In fact some, indeed a good many, did not wait to enjoy the regular preâ€"discharge leave granted by the military. They simply pitched in and went to work. We believe this has been found true all across the country. RETURNED MEN SETTING PACE While the edict will not ban religious broadâ€" casts such as the annual Christmas and Easter programs from the Vatican and Jerusalem and special overseas musical programs by the United States Army and Navy, Petrillo, who has had a habit of "making the news," has gone one step too far. It is to be hoped that some solution can be found or the USA will find herself on the outside looking in. Surely World War II brought home the lesson that isolationism must be relegated into the discard. In issuing his edict Petrillo states the order is being reinvoked to protect the American musician against foreigncompetit.on. He deâ€" elared that through international s%\o&'t wave radio a foreign musician éould displace an ‘American‘s services without entering the United States. Such an order was in force before the war but was not enforced due to the need for the promotion of goodwill and good relationships with other countries. The edict issued by James C. Petrillo, Presiâ€" dent of the Amer.can Federation of Musiâ€" cians, t0 United States radio stations calling upon them to ban all musical programs origâ€" inating in all foreign countries except Canada is, whether it is meant to be or not, a blow at the promotion of better international relations. If we do not become selfishly unselfish and make production the paramount object of every man‘s efforts, when it comes to fiscal measures we shall all find ourselves where the prodigal son found himself when he had squandered all the wealth he obtained from his father.â€"Mason City (Iova\ C o > Gazâ€" ette.

But whereas the novel is proâ€" ‘duced in a period of probably a month and is read and reâ€"read for mistakes, corrected | by the author and scanned from every angle, ‘the newspaper‘s 75,000 words are written i under pressure, put into type, proofâ€"read rapidly and sent away to the press, always with one eye on the clock to catch trains, and buses so it will reach the majority of its subscribers the day of publication. It‘s an | old saying that nothing is so stale as yesterâ€" ' day‘s news, and it is the urgent requirement ’ to present today‘s news today which causes Im()st of the mistakes in newspapers which raise the editor‘s blood pressure as he reads 5 the paper calmly after the day‘s work is done. [ Young men, look over the pages of history and you will see that the gambler has no | place in the community life. "We say there are 75,000 words in the average day‘s newspaper," the Lethbridge writer continues, "but that does not mean that the news editors, city editors and other editors handle only 75,000 words during the day. They handle prn’mhl_v 200,000 or 250,â€" 000 words. The New York Times handles 1,500,000 words from which to cull the 250,â€" 000 words which go into the average Times during the day. News is culled for its newsâ€" worthiness, checked for accuracy, names and dates are checked, and in the end it is writâ€" ten down to the available spaceâ€"which is a problem in these days of newsprint shortage. Recently an editor, making apologies for a mistake, said: "Newspapers are not proâ€" duced in the calm thoughtfulness of the morning after." Probably people often wonder why they see so many Mistakes in newspapers. Editors wonder, too, but they can‘t seem to do much about it. Mistakes that are both foolish and provoking continue to occur periodically and unpredictably. ERRORS IN NEWSPAPERS _ On the continent you will see glaring illusâ€" trations of it in monte Carlo. in our own centre you see the men and women who folâ€" low the race tracks, who rrequent the paiaces erected for gambiing, ana who visit the uens in the lower unaerground sections of the community. ‘Lhese places are all looked upon as very undesirable sections in any comâ€" munity. Efrorts have been made to stamp out this gambling instinet which seems to be born in many a person. â€" During the past few weeks the N.H.L. hockey leaders have forcâ€" ibly brought tb the attention of the public now the tentacles stretch out and ensnare the inaividuais. in sports and athletics thece are many unaesirable men who have without heart or soul ensnared young promâ€" ising athletes. The N.H.L.‘s management is to be commended upon its erfort to stamp out this great evil in hockey. It is to be commenGed for the punishment it dealt out, and also for the leniency they showed in reâ€" instating the star, whom they used as an example to stop this work. Babe Pratt is one ot the outstanding defence men in N.H.L. and a most valuable asset to the Maple Leai Hockey team. He was an important factor in their work to enter the playâ€"offs; yet with firmness they did punish him, and also punished the N.H.L. Hockey Team in doing so. Now they have shown their leniency, and have certainly done the right thing in reâ€"instating Babe Pratt, who will, no doubt profit by the lesson. At the same time it will be an example to the rest of the hockey athletes; but above all, it should be a means of stopping the activities of these gamblers. Many a nation can trace its ruin and downâ€" fall to the gambling spirit it has inculcated. Many a man and woman have lost their character and nobility, and have gone to prison because they have cultivated the idea that they can get something for nothing. They feel that they can beat the other fellow and make an easy living. History shows that these nations and individuals do not make any contribution to their age. # GAMBLING DETRIMENTAL We look askance at those animals who neglect their young, but let us turn our attention to the parents who neglect their own childrenâ€"their own flesh and blood, and fail to give them the opportunities that they deserve. Today we find considerable space used in our newspapers, periodicals and books; conâ€" siderable time occupied in discussion, investiâ€" gation and surveys; considerable matter sent over the air by radio; and considerable exâ€" pense involved in the correction and adminâ€" istration of justice. This is all due to the lack of a proper home environment. The inâ€" fluence of a home is paramount. A mother‘s sweet kindly disposition, founded upon that love that is inexhaustible, does permeate into the family when there is absolute cooperation and support between parents. However, when parents are at dagger points, when relationâ€" ships are strained, when idealism is at variâ€" ance; all these finer qualities of mother are lost. When mother is attracted to the bevâ€" erage rooms, when these evil associations destroy the finer things in womanhood, when children are neglected; there is but one reâ€" sult, which we have today in our overâ€" crowded administration of justice. Home life can only be strengthened by a strict observâ€" ance of the laws of the Creator. When these laws are ignored and broken, nothing but distress and disgrace follow in their wake. ( Parents the responsibility is yoursâ€"it is your children that you owe a responsibility ’ to. Community life is dependent upon home conditions and enviro t, Where ideal home life is mninhinmgu will find ideal citizenship. There will be law and order, respect and courtesy and apFreciation of the higher arts. Your phase of life reproduces itself. When the influences are for the inâ€" crease of the higher, ennobling ideals, there is always a better community spirit and citizenship. These are facts that history has recorded. HOME LIFE NECESSARY The Beltone Monopac is the latest and best for clarity and smoothness of tone, with special features (patents applied for). Call or write for particulars. Established over a quarter of a eentury The local Reception Committee will meet on: Thursday, February 28th, at the Town Hall. Chairman for the evening, Herb. Ackrow, would like to have all organizaâ€" tions of the town represented on this committee which will act in the interests of returned men of the district. Attention was drawn to the fact that the Businessmen‘s Association was not "running the show", but merely helping to get it organized, and although invitaâ€" tions have been sent out to the various clubs and societies of the district, should any hate been overlooked, it is hoped they will send â€" their two â€" representatives along to assist in the forming of this important committee. of the Wégi;)'n-’D;ix":\:..expressing the appreciation of the association It \w"a;w(‘i.ééiééawii{x;;ha letter should be sent to Owen Hamilton Continued from page 1â€" was pointed out that there were many barriers at the present time hindering the immediate improveâ€" ment of the soâ€"called system operating now, but it was stated that other organizations in the district were taking it upon themâ€" selves as though they alone were fully responsible for improveâ€" ments. It was believed this action was nothing but a hindrance to council and other bodies acting in the interests of the community, and it was hoped that all local bodies would work together in a spirit of coâ€"operation for the betâ€" terment of all concerned instead of carrying on in a manner which was obviously bucking any potenâ€" tial improvements. It was decided that council‘s action on the probâ€" lem would be observed by selected representatives of the association.

"We were impressed by the keen interest which the members of the | Board show in the welfare of the | school." | ‘"The Board is also aware of the congested condition of the cafeâ€" teria. In this connection, it must be borne in mind that 70 per cent of the pupils are from the county so that an unusually large number require noonâ€"hour accommodations. In spite of crowded kitchen condiâ€" tions a good choice of food is offered at reasonable prices. Space for a library has been obâ€" tained by partitioning off a section of a cortidor on the second floor. The room is much too small. A room with small tables which would accommodate a class and permit pupils to consult reference material should be included in any plans for enlarged accommodaâ€" tions. We were impressed by the fact that on an average four hunâ€" dred books are in circulation daily in spite of such cramped quarâ€" ters. "The gymnasium also serves as an auditorium. Programmes must of necessity be restricted to a few minutes since the pupils remain standing throughout the proceedâ€" ings. %ut the Principal is to be commended for his efforts to proâ€" mote a sense of unity in the school by holding a daily assembly. even underx_these difficult conditions. In the n%'w'n\glassembly which we atâ€" tended we‘were impressed with the good behaviour of the pupils and the dignity of the proceedings. The orchestra gives valuable assistance three times each week. Continued from page 1â€" terferes with the work being carâ€" ried on in the rooms below. There are no dressing rooms adjacent to the gymnasium, or storage rooms for apparatus. During. games the apparatus on the gymnasium floor constitates an accident hazard. It may be noted here that the stall bars, which we found were used in several classes, are in need of repair and missing parts should be replaced as soon as possible. The boys too should take their exerâ€" cises in clothing suitable for gymâ€" nasium . workâ€"strenuous exercise in regular clothing defeats the purâ€" pose for which the exercises are held. Board of Education It was decided that in future all meetings of the Businessmen‘s Asâ€" sociation would be held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. No deâ€" finite day had previously been set aside for the meetings and it was considered that this day was most favcurable to those concerned. A special vote of thanks was extended to Jack Petrie, who so generously offered his projector for the showing of the film and his son Ferguson Petrie who did such a fine job in the "operating room‘". for his community spirited actions in his contacts with families in the new homes on Trethewey Drive. Besides his own business dealings with the new families to the community, he has greatly asâ€" sisted the people themselves and the local merchants in directing them to this, their nearby shopâ€" ping district. KE. 21534 49 In keeping with the Anglican Advance Appeal, a visitation of the parish will be held in the next two weeks. It is hoped that this will reâ€" sult in an increased attendance at the services throughout the Lenten season, and on Easter Day. It is our hope and aim to make this the best f.).en-t. and Easter yet â€"Continued on page 3 On Sunday, Feb. 10th, a special service was held at St. Philip‘s Church, sponsored by the Men‘s Club of the parish. The service was well attended and a number of the members took part. Mr. Lancaster, our Lay Reader, took part of the service, while Mr. C. Bolter read the first Lesson, and Mr. M. E. Hooper, the second Lesson. Mr. A. S. Boulton, president of the Men‘s Club, preached a very helpful and interesting sermon, taking as his text the Benedictus. Other memâ€" bers acted as Sidesmen, and took up the offering. Altogether it was a very enjoyable service. Next Sunday, Feb. 24th, there will be a celebxiation of the Holy Communion at 11 a.m. _ In the evening the pastor began a series of studies on the parables, and will continue to do so D. Y. each Sunday evening. Do you know of a parable that casts out a Church member? _ You will hear about that this Sunday evening, Godâ€"willing. We rejoice that God has put a song in our mouths, and you will enjoy with us the bright and lively singing of the great old hymns and choruses. For those who know the Lord as Saviour, the theme of our song never tires, so come then, and bring your friends and neighbours. St. Philip‘s _ It was especially appropriate following a week of special meetâ€" ings that we should have brought ‘be.fore our hearts and consciences the meaning of revival with all its implications. Not only do we need to be much in prayer for the saving of many souls to Christ, but, must we also be concerned for our lives as believers. In these last days we have become hardened to sin, calâ€" loused to all the evil rampant in the world today, and even indifferâ€" ent regarding the salvation of lost souls. Before any revival can take place in a community and thence to the uttermost parts of the earth, there must be a contrite humbling of Christians, individually and as a whole, and an earnest seeking of God‘s face, that He may indeed put out His spirit among us, to revive us again, that we may live in this world for His praise and glory, and then through us will many souls be won for Christ. E. R. Feri}mon of St. Clair Church of the azarene will be the speaker. Accompanying him will be musical talent from his church. This informal friendly meeting is especially for you. You‘ll enjoy every minute of it including the social fathering at the close. If ‘ you feel the need of sound spiritual encouragement, we invite you to‘ our Sunday morning service, where the grand old trugxs are soundly taught. Bring your children to our Bible school. We assure you they will be looked after by consecrated teachers. We welcome you to our {rospel service on Sunday eveninf. ou‘ll enjoy hearing again the old old story otyJesus and lgis love, and sin%ing the beloved gospel hymns of Zion. \ Weston Raptist We extend a warm invitation to you to attend the next meeting of our Christian Fellow Group on i‘ri- day, Feb. 22nd, at 8.30 p.m. Rev. _ The Young People‘s Badminton will meet at 2 p.m. in the church Saturday, Feb. 23rd.
