Member of the Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association It has, for example, become an altogether too familiar entry in the records of the proceedings of municipal councils hereabouts. Matters of varying degrees of urgency are assigned to committees for study and recommendation of action. Then, for meetâ€" ing after meeting, the committee chairman rises to ‘"report progress" when the subjects are called on the agenda. Recently, however, the response of "reporting progress" has been given by chairman of committees on such items as garbage collection costs, traffic light installations, requests for information from senior governmental departments, the price of a piece of furniture. Surely, these are not matters which reâ€" quire long investigation to establish facts or continuâ€" ing study to decide whether to recommend for or against them. What might be advisable under these cireumâ€" stances would be a resounding "NO progress" report from the chairman of the committee, followed by a detailed description of the doughâ€"heads and their antics which have made it impossible for the comâ€" mittee to get on with its work. Too often, in these instances, the "progress report" is a concession by a kindly man to the decencies of human relations; he is being kind, too kind, to his twoâ€"headed friends. No reasonable citizen would quarrel with any justification of a "progress report" on the basis that the matter involved is intricate or that extensive investigation of documents and witnesses is required to resolve the problem considered by the committee. Curently, in Weston, two important matters have been getting the "progress report" treatment for a long time. One is the matter of traffic lights at the intersection of Weston Road and Humber Street in the north end of town. Because the minor maharajahs at the metropolitan level have decided that the intersection lights are not advisable unless lights on the bridge leading from Etobicoke are simultaneously installed, no positive action has been been recommended by the chairman of the traffic committee. In those instances where the phrase is the obâ€" vious, recurrent excuse of an incompetent procrastiâ€" nator, the chairman might be well justified to depart from the niceties of parliamentary procedure and relapse into the vernacular: "Progress, shmogress! Get off the back of your lap and get on with the job !" Such language is not likely to be included in the latest issue of "Rules of Order‘"; but it has been known to produce results. With election time in the metropolitan municiâ€" palities just over the horizon, it is a pretty safe bet that even now candidates for civic office are sharpenâ€" ing up their arguments for the coming campaigns. Sure as shooting, some eager boy is going to come up with a list of matters still on "progress report" in his home town. And the same chap will go on to have a field day criticizing the sitting council memâ€" bers who have helped make his list the impressive thing he thinks it is. Perhaps the most insidious stratagem provided by those sacred "rules of order" which guide legislaâ€" tors in their conduct of public affairs is that invokâ€" ing of the phrase: "reporting progress". Although the phrase has its proper use â€" to indicate that the work of a particular committee is moving forward but has not yet reached a point which would justify discussion of the subject matter â€" there is a regretâ€" table tendency of late to use it as a stall. It has become fashionable in some towns and townships to bewail the difficulties created by the need to deal with senior levels of government. "Metro should do this". "The provincial government should do that." These are familiar cries of anguish, echoing in every municipal council chamber from here to Halifax and back. They are often valid cries. But until such time as the facts in an issue are faced and frankly stated â€" and not buried beâ€" hind a "progress report" â€" there will be little public sympathy for the wailers.

TORONTOâ€"A 1,500 pound nugget from the Temiskaming mine in Cobalt is one of the exhibits at the Toronto Exhibition. EDITORIALâ€"The largely increased use of slang is to be depreciated. Many people who listen to the youngsters on the street hardly know whether they are listening to English or to some foreign language. Who could make sense out of "Oh! you kid oh!", "Get on to his mug!", "Look at the glad rags!", etc. The United States started the rage of coining new words and phrases and unfortunately we have followed their example. WESTONâ€"A communication from the Internaâ€" tional Aviation Association was read at the meeting of Weston Council on Tuesday evening. The Associaâ€" tion asked to Council to forego the charges made for loss. The Clerk was instructed to collect. When I first went to Sunday School I can reâ€" member hearing the hymn, "Jesus Loves Me, This I Know, For the Bible Tells Me So." To me that was very unsatisfactory. I wanted to feel that Jesus loved me. How often we as Christians acquire the habit of wanting to feel the quality that we desire of the Lord. Perhaps we may want to feel forgiven, or fearless, or that we are being guided by God. How our faith grows and our joy deepens and all the world is wonderful when we feel his presence within. When I read the book of Job I cannot help but admire the way Job‘s faith triumphed over his feelâ€" ings. Let us take a look at him. Poor Job! To all appearances God had forsaken him, bereaved of his sons and daughters, poverty stricken, and covered from head to toe with boils. The only thing that Job could feel at the moment was misery. How Job longed for the consciousness of the presence of his God. "Oh, that I may know where I may find him! . . . behold I go forward but he is not there, and backward but I cannot perceive him." Job was totally devoid of any feeling toward his relationship with God. but it did not mar his faith. He could look through the long dark tunnel of misery and know that he would some day come out of it victorious. "But he knoweth the way that I take and when he hath tried me I shall come forth as gold." Job had no Bible. He had no cross of Jesus Christ standing as a historical and factual victory over evil. Yet he could stand alone with God, conâ€" fident in the fact that God would bring him through victorious. But Job had one thing that we as Christians often have not. His walk with God was complete. He did not have his right arm linked with God and his left hand still clinging to the fingertips of Satan. There was no closet sin with Job. He lived out and out for God. In this soil faith could root and grow ;pd burst into the mighty flame flower of faith in im. "Lord make me strong! Let my soul rooted be .. . Afar from vales of rest . . . Unsheltered and alone, but strong in Thee. What though the lashing tempests leave their scars? Has not the Rock been bruised? Mine to face the storms and triumph with the stars.â€"Job 23: 3, 8. __â€"Dorothy Wilson There have been some remarkable demonstraâ€" tions of maternal love lately. There was, for exâ€" ample, that doting mamma who found barbiturates in almost lethal quantities the perfect pacifiers for her two offspring. Or that other paragon of motherâ€" hood, Hollywood model, whose emotional involveâ€" ment with an unsavory type male was resolved when her young daughter used a knife on the threat to their happy home. In almost the same category is the female parent of the quite young "lady" who, with mamma‘s blessing, managed to achieve real fame as the paramour of an aged cinema actor whose inconvenient sudden death embarrassed them both. LONDON, ENGLANDâ€"Dr. Crippen and Miss Leneve were formally charged with murder in Bow Street Police Court on Monday. _ MOUNT DENNISâ€"A Toronto troop of Badenâ€" Powell Boy Scouts will camp for a week on Eglinton avenue, Not quite so spectacular, either in the motives which direct them or in the effect of their acts, are those mothers whose offspring manage to wind up in the "lost children" department at the C.N.E. Anyâ€" one who dared to suggest that these mothers are slobs â€" a suggestion which is here freely offeredâ€" would undoubtedly be accused of an attack on the sanctity of motherhood. Well, slobs is about the only word that seems to fit. _ _ Within recent weeks there have been numerous reported incidents of the depredations of sexual perâ€" verts on young children in the metropolitan area. How, in view of that fact, a mother could be so careâ€" less as to become so bemused by the Exhibition‘s attractions as to lose touch with her children is a question that only a slob would ask â€" and only a slob could answer. 50 YEARS AGO IN THE TIMES AND GUIDE M Is For A Christian Thought As U Whre glew Furniture Fachions « Fall SEPTEMBER 1, 1910 CLAIR GOODYEAR RICHARDSON FURNITURE & ELECTRIC CO. LTD. 1919 WESTON ROAD CH 1â€"9105 Besides, there is always the example of the "sysâ€" tematized" German language with its rigidities and the "formalized" French regulated by the Academy. To the average Englishâ€"speaking individual, the vaâ€" garies of both those tongues is not quite a convincing argument for the "simplicity" of organized languâ€" ages. As he sees it, no language is "easy" to learn for anyone not born to it. And, what you‘re born to you can live with. The instinctive resistance of Englishâ€"speaking peoples to changes by decree or formula of their spoken and written language would seem to have interesting connotations both for advocates and opponents of reform. It appears that the attitude of the average Englishâ€"speaking individual toward spelling reform â€" even when he concedes the adâ€" vantage of system and method â€" reflects his concept of life in general; where, freedom, as defined from anarchy, is balanced by a respect for tradition, which, in turn is not so rigid that it produces an undue reverence for outmoded fashions. History shows that the dogmatic approach to spelling reform â€" either by agitation or legislation â€"is practically never effective, certainly not in the history of English spelling. For all his tremendous influence, Samuel Johnson never succeeded in obâ€" taining acceptance of his preferred spelling of such words as "musick", "horrour", "waterfal" and "parâ€" snep". Attempts by a Simplified Spelling Board, finâ€" naced by Andrew Carnegie, to persuade U.S. citizens to substitute "altho", "thru" and "thorofare" for the traditional spellings were singularly unsuccessful, even though a president of the United States enâ€" dorsed the suggestion and used the Carnegie termiâ€" nology in his corerspondence. Later, a Chicago newspaper launched the word "frate" to describe goods in transit on trucks or railway cars; the exâ€" ample has not been followed by other newspapers, even though the originators have persisted in its use since 1943. Agitation for spelling reform seems to be a regularly recurring phenomenon among intellectuals and "systematizers" in practically every country. There are symptoms of it even loca{ly, with logicians arguing that "Etobicoke" should be spelled "Etobiko" to match the pronunciation favored by the residents of that township. The Scarboroâ€"Scarborough conflict seems to have been resolved by resort to a "Mexican standoff". Everybody spells it without the final "ugh" except municipal officials, who stay with the formal spelling. £ According to the experts, all spelling was origiâ€" nally phonetic, attempting to convey to the eye the sound heard by the ear. On such a basis, Shakeâ€" speare could spell his name in thirty different ways and the Young Pretender could write of his father as "Jams" or "Gems" with assurance that the reader would recognize the name. 11.00 a.m.â€"Morning Worship. 11.00 a.m.â€""The Stout Heart". 8.00 p.m.â€"Prayer and Bible Study.
