It is supposed to be a | spell of warm weather, coming after the first ifall of snow. One tradition has it that our i very earliest ancestors in Canada were makâ€" ‘ing hurried preparations for the dread winâ€" ter as the first snow fell, when the Indians, who were friendly at that time, came and told them that they need not be so hasty as a good turn of weather was still to come and only after that would snow fall to stay and winter set in. And so, we are told, in their gtitude at the relief they felt, our anâ€" tors named this period of the year, "Inâ€" fian Summer." eharacter. Another opinion is that the name came from the fact that the haziness of fall gave the Indians one more chance to raid the ‘white settlements. Other explanations are not so flattering to the Indian. Some say the name was given because at this time of year the weather hows the same deceptiveness as the Indian None of these explanations seems quite plausible when we recall that the same kind of weather at this time of year appears in most parts of Europe. In England and France it is called "St. Martin‘s Summer," after the soldier saint, who on a chill November day divided ‘his cloak with a freezing beggar, and Nature, loving the saint, ab;rought back her warmer, sunny days in order that he might not suffer from his act of kindness. In Gerâ€" many. the term "Old Woman‘s Summer" is used and we have a similar term in use "Squaw‘s Winter." In no other part of the world, however, is to be seen the beauty of the colored leaves during our Indian summer. The vivid reds of the maple, the golden hues of oak and the yellow shades of birch and beech, with the dark greens of the pine and spruce, give a beauty that is seen nowhere else. . If we look for an explanation of the haziâ€" ness of these days we find many explanâ€" ations. There is one interesting legend which also comes from Indians. They say that The Manitou of the Sun, the chief of staff under Tarenyawago (Holder of the Heavens), was smoking in bed and fell asleep just when he should have been starting his winter disâ€" plays. While he slept summer silently tipâ€" toed back and lingered gently, giving the atmosphere its warm and hazy appearance, as the smoke from the great pipe of peace curled over hills and valleys. Another early explanation for the haziness is that at this time of year the Indians invariably set the prairie and bush lands on fire, causing great smoke clouds to settle down over the land. This explanation is about as plausible as any the scientists give us though there may be some truth in the claim that the warm weather is caused through a change in the upper strata of the atmosphere, confining the radiating heatâ€"rays to the lower strata. A theory to account for the haziness of this time of year is that it is due to the slow deâ€" caying of leaves and grasses and chemical combustion of other vegetable matter, under the action of frost and sun.

This is a general appeal that should have the support and commendation of all citizens. It is one of the most outstanding, effective, systematic methods of meeting the responsibilities and problems of the day. Sixtyâ€"six organizations are making their one grand appeal for supâ€" port. Each of these organizations, members of the Federation, have justified their exâ€" istence and their support. The work as publiâ€" cized has been impressive. Their work as known to the individuals who have benefited, has been most timely and effective. As citiâ€" zens with the responsibility of our brothers ever before us, can any one turn a deaf ear to this appeal. Meet your canvasser with a smile and a cheer. Think upon these lines: The Human Heart Who can understand another human heart, Or trace its silent journeys in a world apart, Who can plumb the depths, the places wild ugly mark. Who can have pity for the lonely empty place That can never be filled by the beloved voice rough, The world is indifferent. CONSIDERATION ASKED and dark, _ â€" Where follies and treacheries have left their or face, When the burden is heavy and the going is The organizations of this district do an exâ€" cellent job in presenting their very fine proâ€" grams, and the community welcomes their entertainment and educational features. RED FEATHER DRIVE Community life is dependent upon home conditions and environment. Where ideal home life is maintained, you will find ideal citizenship. There will be law and order, respect and courtesy and appreciation 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. It seems an excellent idea for communities to give an opportunity for home talent. They usually have gifted musicians who can renâ€" der excellent programs. They are likely to have people who can talk interestingly on some phase of life, on their own experiences and observations, travels, etc. â€" They are also likely to have groups who can or could do excellent dramatic work, and present noted plays in a most interesting manner. Many forms of entertainment can be put on by home talent.

Taking Canada as a | whole on the same date the ratio To begin with, the sum of $125,000 is sufficiently large, as an expenditure for the Town of Weston, to require careful thought. In the past, our Public Utilities Commission has not had any reâ€" markable success, if any at all, in supplying good water. It has been notoriously hard, high in water content, . permanently staininfi laundry, besides having a vile an nauseating odor. In the past much money has been spent at the disâ€" cretion of the Commissioner to cure the situation. Now that we are agreed that something should be done, it is verg necessary that some wnrantee e obtained that: 1. Zater will be completely Thirtyâ€"five previous articles under the heading, Time for Decision, dealt generally with current issues in federal affairs in a way to show how the present government has approached rapidly changing problems and how the official opposition, the Progressive Conservative tpnrry, as well as many Liberals, have challenged the government for its failure to effect sound, longâ€"range policies. While exâ€"councillor Larry Steâ€" venson is ordinarily rational though inclined to be overly sarcastic, I think his last outburst requires some sort of answer,. Again, Mr. Stevenson has not even considered the very high proâ€" bability that Weston will have, of necessity, a supply from Lake Ontario, in which case, our exâ€" penditure would be wasted. BASIC THESIS Little attemrt was made previously to follow any connected line of nr{ument. Mainly the series set forth facts and arguments taken from official records as a means of fixing attention on developing national problems. The picture was gradually filled in down to a brief outline of the present trncFe and dollar crisis. Â¥he gravity of the situation has now become painfully apparent and public alarm is becoming daily more manifest. . TEST OF STRENGTH Now a new series, of which this is number one, will deal far more exhaustively with the leadership, the programs, the innate strength and virility of éle two o‘s'posed parties, the Liberals still led at the moment by Prime Minister Mackenzie KinF, the Progressive Conservatives led by John Bracken who will definitely lead his party through the coming election. Certainly this is a time K)r decision. The Toronto and Weston. area, however, was the third lowest in Canada; Weston showing 11 out of 1000 as of August 28th, 1947. Sherâ€" brooke, Quebec showed 7 and Kitâ€" chener and Waterloo only 3. Editor, Times and Guide Dear Sir: softened. 2. the expenditude will take care of the situation for the time reâ€" quired to retire the $125,000 deâ€" bentures. While Mr. Stevenson does not like chlorinated water, that is a personal prejudice not shared by all. By impartial tests, made on a scientific basis, Toronto has a much better water supply.. â€" By all means let us have our water softened, and as proved by Mr. Stevenson‘s arithmetic (which of course was so very original), $125,000 is not too much a priceâ€" if it works. But first let us have The basic thesis of the articles was that in the coming general elecâ€" tion, the choice of the electorate rested between Liberals and Progressive Conservatives, for no other party could hnixe to form a government. The series was conceived wholly to direct public thought toward national affairs well in advance of an election and seriously to consider which of the two parties was best able to govern. PUBLIC ALARM The local National Employment Office in Weston is very proud of their rating in the above, Yours truly, _____ E. D. Banting, Manager FALSE OPTIMISM Take a look at the broad picture of the day. Here in Canada we have almost a daily dose of official propaganda uchoolim{1 people to the belief that Canadians were never more prosperous, that the government is rnlling up ? unprecedented surplus, t?mt employment is at an allâ€"time high and trade was never more flourishing. But we are shown only one side of the picture. We‘ll take a look at the other side as we go along. CHAOS ABROAD Along with our official boasting we can look abroad and see the world in a bigger mess than anyone ever thought possible short of actual armed warfare,. While Canada rolls up a spurious "urfi]u" Britain and Europe are in the grip of an economic chaos in which near starâ€" vation at the edge o{ winter is made far more ominous by the revival of the comintern with its threat to universal freedom. THE PAST DECADE The Times & Guide, Weston, Ontario, Dear Sirs: The Department of Labour has devised a measurement system to mplognau'in various communâ€" ties in Canade. This has bean dune The review rrogo«ed in this second series will cover the past decade. Starting in 1937 when Mackenzie King came home from a visit with Hitler to assure Canadians that this Nazi gangster had no thought of war, the story will be brought down to the present, right to the doorâ€" step of the coming Dominion election.
