5.3 wh Maple Leaf Forever Lack of exercise and the alleged poor physical condiâ€" tion of the‘ nation: has, not stopped Canadians from outâ€" living the inhabitants of other lands, according to the inforâ€" mation published in the Dec. 28 issue of the New Engla~1 Journal of Medicine. The editorial states: MAPLE LEAF FOREVER "This nation‘s neighbor to the north, according to the infallible statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, is one of the healâ€" thy countries of the world, if longevity figures are any criâ€" terion. The women of Canada, like their sisters to the south, not only have lower death rates than their masculine counterparts, but have imâ€" proved more in this respect than have those of other counâ€" tries. A death rate for feâ€" males that has fallen from 10 per 1000 in 1940 to below 7 in 1954â€"1959 and a rate for males that has declined from 12 to 9.4 per 1000 in the same period have resulted in an average life span of 67.6 years for the more aggressive sex in 1955 to 1957, and 72.9 years for the supposedly less hardy females of the species. "Mortality trends in Canâ€" ada, however, do not differ 1962 is a year of opportunity. All predictions trend to foresee big developments in progressive advanceâ€" ment in all phasis of life. Upon the younger men and women the success in this community is dependent. When all accept their individual responsibilities and work to achieve the developments of their respective talents then we of this generation will add our quota to the history of Weston. P Yes, the secord and third generations of the Cruickshamk, the Bul the Charlton, the Sainsbury, the Pollard, th Wardlaw, the Gardhouse families and many others are building and giving of their talents to the development of the Town. It is these men who are safequarding the interests of Weston and the whole community. It is the little daily contributions made by each individual.that builds for the future. Therefore, the graduates of our schools are called upon to take over the places that are vacated by those who pass on.

"Spectacular improvements have taken place in the death rate. from tuberculosis, from 50 per 100,000 in ‘1941â€"1945 to 5.5 in 1959, in the rate for the communicable diseases, which fell from 8.7 to 0.8, and in infant and maternal mortality, the former of which declined by half and the latter by 90 per cent since 1940. ‘*The mccident mortality rate has fallen much more gradually, from 6.5 accidental deaths per 100,000 in 1941â€" 1945 to 54.1 in 1959.

ST. JOHN‘S ANGLICAN Candlelight service was held on Sunday evening at St. John‘s Anglican Church. This was the annual service of dedication for the members of the church year. They visit the homes once a month and a~collection of at least 1 cent per day is given toward the church work. Over the .past years they have made thousands of calls and hand over to the church work over $650.00 each year. It was an inspiring service conducted by the Rector the Rev. Harvey Scuse.

Happy is the Christian who, amidst the dartk and ugly things that invade his life keeps his eyes upon the beauty of the King of Kings, for He is like a beautiâ€" ful sparkling fountain in the midst of a desert.~ He is as a great rocky fortress protecting us from the ravagâ€" ing arthies of gin and evil. He is also the great Comâ€" forfer, who steals like a quiet hush into our sduls and brings the sweetness of His peace. It is also true in the spiritual life. God uses conâ€" trasts to reveal Hissbeauty. If we had not known the stark ugliness of sin we could never enjoy the beauty of His tender forgiveness. If we had.not known the deâ€" pravity of human nature we could never realize the becauty of the nature of God. If we had no hardship, heartache or suffering in our lives we would never apâ€" preciate or acquire the beautifulâ€"qualities of sympathy or understanding. ° Unto you therefore, which believe, he is precious 1 Peter 2: 7. | What a contrast they presented â€" pink petal softâ€" ness and tar paper! Strangely enough, the contrast enhanced the beauty of the flowers.and made them, to me, an object of continued enjoyment. This is also true in life, not only i#"beauty enâ€" hanced by contrast, but our enjoyment of it is rooted therein. The woman who has endured the rigors of a Canadian winter stands in delight at the sight of the first budding rosq, but the woman who has wintered in Florida passes it by without a second glance. *~ Sitting in church last Sunday my eyes were continually drawn to the pink and white chrysantheâ€" mums on the altar. The flowers seemed exceptionally beautiful, delicate and pure, and as I sat in the peace and quiet of the sanctuary, drinking in their beauty, I suddenly realized why they drew my continued attenâ€" tion. Before this, behind the flowers was an exquisitely bectutiful pqinting, but this time, because of the conâ€" struction going on in our church, their background was anâ€"ugly black tar paper wall. A Christian Thought The local committee of the York Mills Deanery Mission unâ€" der the chairmanship of Dave Wainwright are holding weekly meetings each Monday night. This is a prayer session asking for guidance and direction and blessing upon the Deanery Misâ€" sion which is to be held during the week in Feb. 25th to the 4th of March at St. John‘s Anglican Church York Mills.
