One reason this little quip brings a smile is that everyone knows there is a good deal of truth in the state- ment here humorously expressed. The automobile and the road surfaces built for it have extended many times 'the radius which once was the measure of feasible dist- ance for a day’s journey. Whether the journey is for visiting or a sightseeing drive, it is likely to be confined to such purposes and not curtailed as to time 'by turning aside for church service. In private homes, hosts often neglect to give their guests an opportunity to attend ser- vice, and guests do not feel that they should suggest it. There is reallyr no valid reason why the motor car should be responsible for adversely affecting church at- tendance. Certainly in bad weather it enables people to get out who otherwise could not do so. It may take peo- ple past the nearest place of worship to another, and that is something which has affected certain rural churches. But it ought to and probably does enable sur- viving churches to draw from a larger constituency. “One difference between the buggy and the motor car,” observes Owen Sound Sun-Times, “is that while the buggy enabled people to go quite a distance to church on Sundays the car enables people to go quite a distance from church on Sundays.” MUNICIPAL ELECTION MORATORIUM NOT POPULAR Premier Hepburn’s proposal to have a moratorium on municipal election after January lst until the duration of the war does not appear to be very popular in York County. While a few people endorse the proposal the majority see danger in the move and do not think condiâ€" tions here warrant such a step. In View of the wide- spread opposition to the proposal we hope Premier Hepâ€" burn will change his mind and not introduce the measure at the coming session of the Legislature. The idea has enlisted little support throughout the province if we are 30 judge from comment in newspapers which reach our esk. “We have been notified that as a result of condi- tions brought about by the war, the normal quantity of apples will not be imported into Great Britain from Can- ada this year. Of a crop of not more than 15,000,000 bushels about 50 per cent. is usually exported. It is now proposed to dispose of half of the usual export in Canada as fresh fruit and to dry and can the remainder. “The Government of Canada has already announced its plan to purchase and process a substantial portion of the apple crop, and also proposes through the Dominion Department of Agriculture to carry on a national mer- chandising and advertising campaign for the purpose of informing the public regarding the availability of this ex- cellent fruit and of stimulating home consumption. The grading regulations have been so amended that only the better quality apples will be available as fresh fruit. “In this connection, it is believed that everyone in Canada, and particularly the housewife, will be willing to co-operate to bring about a larger consumption of this excellent Canadian fruit during the next few months. This would solve the problem. In connection with the marketing of the 1939 crop of Canadian Apples the following statement has been made by Hon. James G. Gardiner, Dominion Minister of Agri- culture: There is widespread confidence that increases in liv- ing costs cannot become so disconcerting as they proved in the Great War. At that time, profiteers seemed to have the upper hand and were not timid about taking advantage of conditions. Exposures of the kind of im- positions that the public suffered on that occasion gave enlightenment that will prove an advantage now. People will not submit to exorbitant prices for necessities unless they have good reason to believe that they are justified by a legitimate situation. There undoubtedly will be plenty of unprincipled individuals and concerns who will attempt to profit unduly because of war, but they will meet with more intelligent resistance this time. Public opinion can be readily roused today against unjustified increases in living costs. This is a war in which everyâ€" body is expected to make sacrifices for the general wel- fare and anyone taking advantage of the occasion to charge excessive prices is going to encounter critical inâ€" vestigation of motives. Some increases relate to articles on which war taxes have been levied, tea, coffee, cigarettes and domestic light- ing and heating. The extension of the eight per cent. sales tax to such commodities as smoked meats, salmon and other canned fish and pickled meats, which previous- ly were'exempt from that levy, will tend to make the householder’s bills more formidable. Then there is the wartime increase in maritime insurance the arbitrary dis- count on Canadian money in the United States which will contribute something to produce higher prices for goods to consumers. It is impossible to prevent a rise in living cost during a war, and Canadians are beginning to experience some of the inevitable effects when the entire resources of the country are being mobilized for military effort. How- ever, the rise in the prices of commodities so far have not been such as to create fear that the situation will get out of hand. In the case of dairy products and eggs the price to date has‘not been more than the seasonally advance of the past few years. In primary products such as wheat, bacon, beef and potatoes, the increases do not put the priées of these commodities into wartime brackets. They were low to begin with and it might be expected that they would go up with any advance in the normal standard. Indeed, producers fear that they will not keep pace with the enhanced prices of consumer goods.

Some people can not conceive of any man devoting his time and efforts to duties of this nature unless there ‘be some "‘graft” in it. There must be 111- terior motives, and some scheme to “get something out of it.” - There may be in politics, as in business and professional groups, a certain proportion of men who may lend themselves to transactions of a questionable nature.

Con- sultation with the teacher should be the first step. She will tell you what essential knowledge should be im- parted through independent home study or with perhaps half a d0zen lessons with a private tutor, if your child is to skip a grade. A good "juvenile reference work like The 'Book of Knowledge will supply, in leisure hours in the form of enterw tainment, much of the cultural and informational background that is re- quired. Remember, however, that your child is “moving up” in order that school may offer a pleasing challenge to his ability, and not for any other reasonâ€"not to minister to your pride in his accomplishment or to become the youngest in the class or to graduate from high school at fifteen or sixteen. Many a mother has Wisely kept her girl from entering high school too young. During high school years, young folks are growing up very rapidly and the sympathy gap between a girl of twelve (who may still secret- ly enjoy playing with dolls) and one of fifteen (who is craving a black evening dress) is very wide, though they are studying Algebra and His- tory side by side. For this reason particular care should be exercised 'by the parents of a mentally super- ior child, to provide playmates of the right age.

ONTARIO THANKS TO NAVY Views 01 Others on Timely Topics t} pu'b Radio in Child’s Room Mrs. C. D. 0.: Should a child have a radio in his roam? Radio can render a plus service if it develops community spirit in the family. Surely young children do not require a separate radio un- less there is a chronic illness in the home which makes their preferred programs a source of distreSS to someone else. It is unobjectionable for boys and girls of high school age to have their own radios, as a great many items of value may be heard which may not suit the mood of the elders. It should be under- stood that the radio will not be run after a certain hour at night, or to the interference of daily outdoor ac- tivity, and such other reasonable controls as suggest themselves.

It is estimat- ed that six per cent of the children in the United States today are in- tellectually gifted, able to do school work two or more grades in advance of their years. In most of the larger cities there are special classes for students who, because of an unusu- ally keen interest in learning, or through superior mental endowment, are able to progress faster than the average. In the special classes the gifted boys and girls follow enriched courses of instruction, but for all too many bright boys and girls the’ choice is between skipping grades and staying in a class where the studies are so simple as to be bor-‘ ing. A little boy of my acquainti ance refused to take the trouble to‘ write he answers to arithmetic prob- lems because, he said, they were “baby questions.” Yet his mother hesitated to allow him to be pro- moted lest he miss necessary groundâ€" work. She herself had been pro- moted as a child, and had missed the lessons on long division and for years felt that her foundation know- ledge in arithmetic was inadequate. All public service must be u'nder- taken by someone; and all such ser- vice is commendable. Therefore all consideration and support should be extended to publicâ€"spirited men, un- til such time as they prove them- selves unworthy, by unethical acts 'of their own. They should not be vunfainly condemned.” â€"â€" Port H'Ope 'of their own. They vunfainly condemned.” Guide. tics and public affairs.
