With summer here in the guise of are taling to the roads. Many of lhesé are new drivers, but probably trained by a school training plan. Many others are new drivers who are learning as they go. Editorial Comment There is a current expression that indicates modern driving, "It isn‘t your own car you are driving . . . it‘s everybody else‘s." After you have ducked about a dozen other drivers who seem intent on killing you even if they have to kill themselves, this new description of automobile piolting seems too close to the truth to be comfortable. There is also a great deal of truth in the saying that every driver today is "his brother‘s keeper". Courtesy on the part of the individâ€" ual driver only adds up to self protection. If you have an urgent desire to live, then you must protect yourself by protecting others. Pedestrians too can help in the campaign to live. More are killed each year by cars, but in many cases the accident setup is such that the driver had no chance to avoid the person on foot. Stepping out on a roadway in this day of short time and fast cars is like holding a gun at your head and hoping it won‘t go off. Even with today‘s mass of traffic, there is little real reason for the number of accidents which pile up. If every driver wuuld reâ€" member that he has hold of a lethal weapon in the shape of his car and that others are armed in the same way, most accidents would be avoided. Too many when they get behind the wheel of a car become imbued with a feeling of superiority and insist on the other fellow geiting out of his way. When neither yield, someone usually gets hurts . . . sometimes permanently. Feuchtwanger, Lion: ‘‘TIS FOLâ€" LY TO BE WISE", N.Y., Messâ€" ner, 1953. Lion Feuchtwanger, one of the world‘s great novelists, has writâ€" ten the astonishing intimate slory‘ of Jeanâ€"Jacques Rousseau, the wisest and most foolish of all «philosophers . . . the exalted, viâ€" sionary, often ridiculous, little man whose heights of philosoâ€" phical grandeur were equalled only by the degrading absurdity of his private life. It is also the story of his adulterous wife, of the frivolous nobles of France who made it fashionable to read him, but who missed the point of what he was saying . . . and of the heroes, villains and fools who built the French Revolution on his words.

Thanks in part to him, many houses rise here and there, or row on row, in community after community. New black ribbons of asphalt tie town to town. Somewhere, a new bridge is built. _ _ Where many a vacant lot once stood, he helps fill it with a fine new school. Where you used to see a building that was an eyesore you may now see a new apartment house, store or post office that he played a role in providing. New industrial plants, too, are sometimes the byâ€"products of his helping hand. Perhaps one of them has provided you with a job. Who is he? He represents all the millions of life insurance policyholders in Canada. And it‘s money from their premiums, which life insurance companies invest for them, that makes possible such improvements as these throughout the nation. s So, if you are a life insurance policyholder building security for your family and yourself, you‘re also helping to build a better Canada !

A narrow band of gems encircles it A similar band runs at right angles to the first over the top of the orb. On the highest point of this second band is a large amethyst. On this purple gem, in turn, stands a small gemâ€"encrusted cross. Pearis, rubies, sapphires and emeralds are set in the bands on the globe itself, The man to carry this orb played a tremendous role in a war which would have seen a world domâ€" inated not by Christianity but by Naziism had not Adolf Hitler been defeated. To Canadians, Viscount Alexander is a particularly popular choice to carry this significant piece of regalia, Lord Alexander, as governorâ€"general, endeared himself to millions in this country as a personable man of distinction. To many Canadians it must seem that he is a personal representative of this country in the procession. The Sovereign‘s Orb, which was made for Charjes II‘s Coronation, is the symbol of independent sovâ€" ereignty and is placed only in the hand of the Sovereign of the Realm. The purpose of the orb is to suggest a world dominated by Christianity. Lord Alexander‘s brilliant record of victory in Worlid War II followed to the letter the old adage that great successes are often built on previous failures. It was through his brilliant handling of impossible situations and his saving British forces from complete annihilation during the early days of the war that his future role as an architect of victory was determined. His caimness during the Dunkirk debacle earned him the appointment as commander of the First British Corps. His superiors deemed him a man with the brilliance, endurance, steely nerves and mbility to inspire men at that historic and tragic moment. Lord Alexander‘s reputation as a "trouble shoot. Lord Alexander is shown when, as er‘ grew when he saved the British Indian Army Governor General of Canada, he read from its Burmese jungle trap when the Japanese the Speech from the Throne at Ottawa. entered the war. He earned world recognition as a soidier with the combined qualities of the old stolid British fighting man and the new military scientist. He balanced the tradition of the Guards officer against the need for democracy in handling and inspiring armies of civilians. In Agust, 1942, the same year he had saved the Burmese situation, he was thrown into another trouble spot in the Middle Esst. The world knows the consequent battle at El Alamein, the first step in a long road to eventua‘ victory. While he was in this country, Canadian citizens came to know and admire the qualities in Lord Alxeandér as Canadian soldiers had already done in war years. It is recalled that he once arrised in a pouring rain to review some troops unly to find them without greatcoats. The Field Marshal unhesitatingly removed his own and stsod with the men in the cold, dismal downpour. "here are similar other accounts of his simple, human qualâ€" Ities which can be recited to prove that on Coronation Day the Sovereign‘s Orbâ€"the symbol of Christianityâ€"will be in good hands.
