We want the highways made safe for everyone. We want our children proâ€" tected. But we don‘t want anyone to be tough with us about a speed limit . .. Some parents have been lax in checking on their daughters‘ wearing of the uniform, and certainly the interest of the parents in critiâ€" cizing their daughters for abuse of the reguâ€" lations would help the situation immensely. All things considered, it appears that the tunic uniform is too difficult to regulate. We consider that a choice of either of the remaining alternatives would prove more pracâ€" tical. It was stated at the board meeting reâ€" cently that the basis for the adoption for the tunic uniform was to eliminate dress compeâ€" tition between the high school girls. If the school considers this yet a valid point, then a different uniform or an alteration of the presâ€" ent uniform so as to prevent its abuse, would seem to be the answer. Viewed from the eyes of a group of Northern Ontario policemenâ€"off duty and off the record â€"the situation was summed up by a speaker: "Even with the small force we have we could reduce accidents by ninety percewt, but public opinion won‘t let us." There is no doubt that a school uniform can give the girls a neat and smart appearance and can be economical too. But when it lends itself to abuse by a noticeable portion of the students, then we think it is time for a change. time to time. The brief appearance of some of the tunics as worn outside the school is nothing short of disgraceful but to ask the teachers to be responsible for their students‘ appearance putside the school is unreasonable and impracâ€" tical. |a~ pleasant evening with your "neighbours and school executive. | _ The Ratepayers meeting is ‘planned for Thursday, February ’18!}: at Downsview School bn iKeele St. This organization is iwotking to improve living conâ€" ditions in our area. _ Don‘t forget the next Ridge Road Home and School meeting will be held on Wednesday, Febâ€" ruary 17th at the school.

Mr. Legge spoke on the topic, "On Being a Christian" using the verse as his text. Here in this verse we learn three imâ€" portant things â€" where, when and why â€" Christians received ithe name of Christian; while inâ€" teresting, the first two questions \are not as important as the third, why? The why can be answered by 3 statements â€" These early believers lived in Jesus Christ, they lived for Jesus Christ. It is not by accident of country; acâ€" cident of birth in a Christian home; tradition of church attendâ€" ance and support that we beâ€" come a Christian. There was alâ€" ways an "Iâ€"Thou" relationship established which makes it ever a personal thing for each person. To become a Christian we must consciously surrender our head, heart and hand to Jesus Christ and, even as He said; say "not my will, O God, but thy will be done". Just as in Jesus‘ day, if we were to be a Christian, we must be willing to live in Christ and for Christ and be able to say "I in Christ and Christ in me". In the evening, the service took the form of a Communicants Class, This is the first of a series that will continue each Sunday until Easter. There were 22 young people present at this first class and a very hearty discusâ€" sion took place on questions perâ€" taining to the subject "What is ‘the church" This is an informal gathering and we hope all young people twelve years of age and over and any adults interested "\,vill attend these classes from weék to week.

(p. 15) "The hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipperts shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." _ Selections from the Authorized ’King James Version of the Bible and correlative citations from 1“Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, comprised the Lessonâ€" Sermon entitled "Spirit." Scriptural texts included the following words of Christ Jesus from John: 4:23rd., 24. \ The morning subject will be an attempt to answer the popular icry. "Why can we not have the simple Gospel of Jesus‘ day?" When He walked the Roads of LGalilee His common ery to "Folâ€" low Me" seemed sufficient to atâ€" tract people to Him. Would it not be sufficient today? Or are there complications that have }arisen because of our intricate social and economic structure? There may be sufficient to set you thinking in this question. On Sunday, February 21st, the Scouts and Cubs will parade to the evening service in honour of the birthday of Lord Badenâ€" Powell, their founder.

It was also stated that the asâ€" sociation hopes to have a series of speakers dealing with matters of local and national problems, merchandising problems and pubâ€" lic relations. The chairman stated that one girl student had told him that if they were allowed to wear their own drésses there would be a continual competition among the girls to see who could appear the prettiest.
