(Havelock Standard) Consider the editor! A child is born to the wife of a merchant in the town. The physician getteth 10 plunks, The editor writeth a stick and a half and telleth the multitude that the child tippeth the béam at nine pounds. Yea,. he lieth even as a centurion. And the proud father giveth him a Cremo. . While there are numbers of Americans who are glad to see the Canadian doliar come back on top of the heap, they are very much in the minority. Most of these are shopkeepers who lost considerable Canadian trade when the American dollar was supposedly worth more than our own. Behold the young one groweth up and graduateth. And the ediâ€" tor putteth into his paper a swell notice. He telleth of the wisdom of the young woman and of her exceeding comliness. Like unto the roses of Sharon is she and her gown played up to ‘beat the band. And the dressmaker getteth two score and four iron men. And the editor gets a note of thanks from the sweet girl graduate. Behold she returneth, and the youth of the town fall down and? worship. She picketh one and lo, she picketh a lemon. But the editor | calleth him one of our promising young men and getteth away with | it And they send unto the editor a bid to the wedding, and behold the ‘bids are printed in a far city. { Flowery and long the wedding notice which the editor printeth. The minister getteth ten bucks. The groom standeth the editor off for a 12 months‘ subscription. All flesh is grass and in time the wife is gathered into the soil. The minister getteth his bit. The editor printeth a death notice, two columns of obituary, three lodge notices, a cubit of poetry, and a card of thanks, And he forgetteth to read proof on the head and the darn thing cameth out, "Gone to her last roasting place." And all that are akin to the deceased jumpeth on the editor with exceeding great jumps,. And they pulleth out their ads and canâ€" celleth their subs, and they swing the hammer until the third and fourth generations. Some indication of the widespread turn to religion can be seen in the terrific reception and continued attendance at the Brunk Brothers Revival services. While not everyone would either have the inclination or the capabilities to handle the situation as do the Brunks, there is no doubt but that some envy the life they are able to have. While Canadians did not like it when their dollar was worth less than the American, they did nut enter the United States with the mistaken idea that their money would be accepted at par by the American merchants. That is exactly what the Americans who are coming into Canada expect, and in many cases that is the way it is working out. Particularly are they being catered to by the tourist outfitters. These people probably can afford to be lenient to a certain extent, as they are selling fishing and hunting that is not their‘s anyway. However, the fact of the matter is that all outfitters, tourist or otherwise, should be forced to apcept the American dollar at the proper rate of exchange, and not be allowed to make their own rules. For a long time the Americans took ten cents off every Canadian dollar before they even started to do business with us, Times have now changed and Americans should be told that what was fair for them, is also fair for us. In most cases, religion displaying a certain amount of showman ship, has come in for bitter criticism from one source or another Evidently the sincerity of the Brunk Brothers is such that few, i any, have doubted it. ~ Religion has few speakers as forceful or as convincing as George Brunk but most ministers are equally sincere. Lack of showmanship, lack of common subjects may well be the difference between the attendance the Brunks draw and that accorded many other preachers. And the daughter goeth on a journey. And the editor throweth himself on the story of the farewe}l party. It runneth a column solid. And the fair one remembereth him from afar with a picture postcard that costeth three for a dime. Since its erection, the big tent, capacity 6000, has been nearly fAlled for every service. At times some of the listeners were even forced to stand outside the tent to listen to the sermon. e The Brunks, sponsored by the Ontario Mennonite Conference have kept their services strictly on an interâ€"denominational level Members of probably every faith attended at some time or another. The big Gospel tent wilk be folded this weekâ€"end, but no doubt, memories of the monster meetings, the forceful speaking and the enthusiastic group singing will remain long in the memories of local followers. Flags that have never appeared before officially in Canâ€" ada are included in this display to be used during the XVIIIth International Red Cross Conference in Toronto July 28rdâ€" August 9th. Representing 77 nations and principalities and the United Nations, the flags will be used with name plates on desks to quickly and easily identify each delegation during conference sessions. Emblems new to Canada include those of Byeloâ€"Russia. the People‘s Popular Republic of China and North Korea. The flags are the handiwork of Colonel and Mrs. George Yanovsky of Toronto. Each flag is made of silk and printed with a special silk screen process. Carol Agnew, a Red Cross Corps girl, is holding the Ausralian flag.

Enterprise: It seems to us that recent events, #like the steel strike, are a pretty sound commentary on the futility of talking about justice when you are really talking about econoâ€" mics. This will seem pretty reâ€" factionary to a lot of people, beâ€" cause the ‘"injustice" in our ecoâ€" \ nomic system is the constant subâ€" ject of conversation by tg:a‘:»le who think that somehow old curse that man no longer need to "eatn his bread by the sweat of his brow" . . . it is all right to inâ€" sist that every man should have a fair opportunity, that the poor must be tided over the worst of their trowbles and that society should do its best to distribute fairly what it manages to proâ€" duce.

[ELECTRIcAL Tips FOR THE HOME Through many centuries we cannot trace The tooâ€"eroded track of man‘s ascent And have to peer behind the times elapsed Through sheer imagination curbed by rules Which common sense has helped us to detect With our scientific methods of research. Until our prehistoric ancestors Had learned to speak, they roamed in flocks or herds, Just as the manlike apes and monkeys do, And nested in the branches of the trees, Or settled down inside a cosy cave, _ > If they were fortunate to find it first, Before some beasts of prey made lairs there. Though many animals express Affection, pleasure. rage, and stress, Their voices have a standard range With slight inheritable change. Articulate signals in tone None could invent but man alone. Speech must be learned and kept up still By everybody‘s act of will. By its enormous range of choice The caveâ€"man trained his native voice With pals and sweathearts how to coax Or play on them a friendly hoax, At savage foes to curse and scold, Or to mislead the strong and bold ; To warn, to scarce, or to confess, Or summon help in great distress. The primitive herdâ€"sentinel, Who warned his flock out in the dell To run for shelter in the cave, Was certainly alert and brave ; But from that savage human yell It was not easy to foretell If further use would pin it down To be appraised a verb or noun. Man yelled to praise or to insult But for a physical result, Until he hit upon the game Of giving everything a name ; And even the ingenious E’ere hardly fully conscious ow subtly nouns and verbs combined To make all meanings more defined, Or how a simple sentence wrought The basic unit of all thought. Some twenty thousand million years the earth Has been preparing for our human birth ; It took another million years To train our human eyes and ears Objectively to see and hear That things are noi what they appear To uncontrolled im igination Without a strict in vestigation ; And still we have to learn much more, Or we shall blunder as before, Unless each man becomes a sayer Of this most universal prayer : "Originator of the things that be, ‘‘Prime Mover, whom no eye may hope to see, ‘"Of whom no ear has heard the proper name, "And in whose light all creatures are the same, ‘"Grant us the power to obey ‘"The laws of reason everyway "In order that we may prepare "A heritage for all to share." Ere long, in two respects at least, The caveâ€"man had surpassed the beast By using hands for shaping tools And vocal chords jar vhrasing rules. That love was life‘s originator And that its labour shall not fail We know because its activator Designed a female and a male And split the power of creation To share between a girl and boy That each successive generation Should spring from love‘s ecstatic joy. What energy and matter are Throughout the universe afar The noun and verb soon came to be Within the realm of imagery. The subject and its predicate Alone afford to integrate That mental fact of comprehension Which penetrates the fourth dimension. Haphazard ululating prates Led to scientific postulates. The flimsy ladder of our speech Enables us to climb and reach To those abstracted realms aloof For which we have no final proof. Our native curiosity Embelishes verbosity : Too soon idle talking hoodwinks A man to believe that he thinks. A language brought the only means at last That could transmit traditions of the past To future generations of mankind And helped the progress of the human mind. Since human memory declines, The bards invented rhythmic lines And then continued their reciting, Until some scribe invented writing.
