Why They Are Leaving The Farm “Visit The Real Living Santa” JUNE 19 to Thanksgiving Fun For All The Family Children to 14 years - FREE 9.30 mm. to 6.00 p.111. Sunday 1.00 p.m. to 6.00 pm. SANTA“S VILLAGE BRACEBRIDGE. ONT. “How’re you gonna keep them down on the farm after they’ve seen Paree?” asked a highly popular song just after the end of Wolrd War I. Nowâ€" adays there are other influences on the rural scene besides that exercised by the capital of France. Some of these. applying specifically to Canada. are dealt with by a sociologist of the Federâ€" al Department of Agriculture, Dr. Helen C. Abell. I ’ HAULED ANYWHERE; ANYTIME Parking Meters 6 Magistrate A. D. Barron speaking to the first annual training seminar of the Ontario Chief Constables Associaâ€" tion held at Hamilton recently had some pertinent advice for municipalities which use their police to handle parking meters. “Parking meters are nothing more than a tax. If you handle the park- ing meters in your community you are nothing more than tax collectors. There- fore if you can get the meters off your shoulders by all means do so". If men were released from parking meter pat- rols, he said, they would reduce the need to hire new officers. Dr. Abell finds that the drift from the farm applies to women as well as men, and that to a large extent it can schooling. Girls and boys, she suggests. are receiving a better education than formerly -â€" or at least more of them are being exposed to education â€" and so are able to qualify for city jobs. The city appeals to them, and so if they can Magistrate Barron‘s statements should be given serious consideration by councils and police departments alike. Richmond Hill is one of many towns throughout the province that use parkâ€" ing meters. The enforcement of park- ing regulations and the collecting of coins from the ‘meters is usually hand- led by the local police. In doing this work Magistrate Barron feels they are put- “Cancer is not one disease but many. It is the name we give to many different kinds of growth disorder, som( serious, others not so serious. Each type requires a differem plan of treatment." That’s Ontarip’s theme for this year’s “Slow Down and Live” campaign running June, July and August in co- operation with the other Canadian prov- "inces, the U.S. and Puerto Rico. FRESH WATER The Highway Safety Branch is ur- ging motorists to take it easy on vaca- tion driving. - The biggest attack of the campaign will be made on the motorist who is ever-impatient and “rarin’ to go". He hugs the bumper of the car ahead of him, forces the motorist up front to speed up and is often the cause of long traffic tangles and bad accidents. All vacationists, however, should plan their holidays well in advance find leave themselves plenty of time for com- ing and going. It’s well to remember a good night’s sleeplis the best beginning to a long haul on crowded highways. FACT FOR THE WEEK: Are You A Bumper Hugger?

Now. when I speak of Christian certainty, I do not mean cocksureness, or a self righteous, "know it all" attitude. Christian certainty does not imply that you have neat, pat little an- swers for all the ills of humanity. It means rather, that your life is built upon a foundation which is spiritually secure, no matter what happens to you in life. It comes when life is built upon the rock like truth of God's Word. In the first place, how import- ant it is for us to be sure of God. Unless a person is certain of God, he will hardly be ready to obey God. As long as a person thinks of God merely as the great un- known power behind the universe. the force which holds all things together, he will feel no inner compulsion to be obedient. it is only when God becomes personal to us, that we become aware of our responsibility to Him. It is only a vital, personal faith in a personal God which inspires ob- edience. Perhaps the reason {or so little consecration on the part of many professing Christian people, is that they do not know God. When God becames a living re- ality to us. we are ready to take risks for Him and His kingdom. In our comfortable western cul- ture, we somehow have forgotten the demands which the call of Christ places upon many people FACTS and FAITH â€" By Calvin fl. Chambers â€" A weekly Comment On Christian Life And Action ting themselves in the unenviable posi- tion of tax collectors. In other words he considers it a responsibility beyond the normal range of duties usually assigned to a police officer. If Magistrate Barron is correct in his assumption then a great number of police officers in this prov- ince are being turned into tax collectors. Designed to control parking in busy areas, parking meters sometimes prove to be as much a hindrance as an assist- ance to local merchants. Over zealous police officers sometimes tag a’ custom- er’s car just as he is emerging from a store with his purchases. A person who feels he has been dealt with unfairly may do his future buying at a shopping centre with its attendaiit free parking. The handling of parking meters by the police usually results in poor public relations for them. This is unfortunate for already we hear of too many cases of citizens treating the police with dis- respect when actually they should look on them as their friends. they stay there permanently. One result. according to this sociâ€" ologist, is to make the “hired girl” on the farm practically extinct, even more so. perhaps, than the hired man. This means that a greater load falls on the farmer’s wife. daughters and sons. Yet farm families manage somehow to carry on. Not only that, but they are produc- ing more food for an expanding popu- lation. ~Mechanization in the field and improved appliances in the home may help explain this fact Just the same, the situation is not too reassuring. Fewer and fewer Can- adians, evidently, wants to live in the country, more and more of them want to live in cities. A prqj‘ection of this. trend gives some ground for uneasiness. -â€"- Ottawa “Citizen” Other suggestions and materials for spreading the ‘Slow Down and Live' message have been prepared in the form of a Promotion Kit by the Highway Safety Branch and will be available to assist in launching local community drives. The program throughout empha- sizes the need for intelligent speed hab- its despite the increased speed limits on some Ontario highways. Last year. an average of 92.7 persons died each month in motor vehicle collisions in the provâ€" ince, but during the vacation period, the average jumped to 104.5; and injuries rose from an average of 2508 to 2917. Don’t be deceived by pleasant sum- mer weather. Each driver has the res- ponsibility of determining his own best speed according to traffc conditons at the time he is driving. iu the world today. What a risk it must be to serve Christ in Russia, China, India or other parts of the world where the Church is viewed suspiciously as an enemy of the people. Only a faith anchored in certainty can meet the challenge. How ready are we to confess by our actions that a Christian is one who is committed to the principle that a man ought always to obey God rather than men. No matter what it costs? A Christian does not ask for persecution or misun- derstanding, but if it comes, he knows that there is only one course of action for him. Men ought always to obey God. when obedience to the dictates of soc- iety or community would lead to serious compromise. It is our res- ponsibility, if Christian, to be ob- edient to God. It is the only test of true faith. If you believe you ‘must be ready to obey God. If ‘you do not obey, it is because ;faith in God is not vital to you. Certain faith in God always pro- duces men of courageous obed- ience to the will of God. “LIBERAL” CLASSIFIEDS PHONE TU. 4-1106 Nearly New Clothes for the entire family TU.

I am not usually given to emotionalism when on an assignment. but the spontaneous fealty and national display of loyalty as the Royal Train passed through the little villages and towns along the way. gave me a new conception of my fellow Canadians' attitude toward Royalty. While thousands packed the streets of the built-up areas perhaps one of the most impressive displays of homage to Elizabeth Regina was the shirtless farmer who stood on the seat of his tractor amid a field of rip- ening grain and waved his sweaty cap with frantic en- thusiasm. As we progressed over the hundreds of miles it was not unusual to see a provincial policeman climb from his cruiser at a deserted level crossing and stand at salute until the train passed by. v I was touched by the many expressions of welcome home owners beside the tracks had invented. One shabby little but had a long row of coffee cans painted bright flag blue. In each one was a single red or white petunia. On a long. thin fishing pole a tiny Union Jack fluttered in tatters. V In another neat little garden patch an imaginative tenant had constructed a miniature ferris wheel. Each of the tiny seats was painted red, white and blue, and in them grew a profusion of red and white flowers. But I think the bravest and, in a way, the most pathetic at- tempt at decoration was the huge factory where some ' - ~- '~ - 1* ,1 .L.‘_1____._ A" A ,,,,, 43L”. tculyu at, uVVVleAv-n .. worker had pasted tinymllniâ€"onila‘Ek stickers all over the windows on the third story. I didn’t miss this patriotic gesture and I am sure the Queen didn’t either. There was time to see these little human interest angles of the Royal Tour while the train was in motion. but let it pull to a stop for a few moments and bedlam broke loose in the press parlor car. Cameras whre grab- bed and polite regard for the feminine sex was complete- ly ignored. It was every man for himself in the wild scramble for at vantage point.

Forunately Her Majesty had request- ed a slow ride between stations in order that she might wave to her subjects who lined every country road. Oth- erwise there might have been a great gap in coverage for some of the papers represented by those sprinting. sv‘veating, swearing newsmen. ' u < .

She was hardly the movie director’s idea of a wo- man reporter out to get a scdop or die in the attempt. After all, she reasoned, the Queen wore the same dress all day, said practically the same thing to each mayor in each town, accepted a bouquet of flowers from a small child, waved to her subjects as she drove by in a fast- moving car and returned to the train. Why should she waste her breath and subject her swollen feet to another presentation of a municipal council and their wives. When a little more than the scheduled time had el- apsed for the stop she awoke with a start from her fit- t'ul dozing. “What’s happened. where’s the Queen, why isn’t she back on the train?" rolled from her tongue in quick succession. She grabbed the porter by the should- ers, shook him soundly and demanded, “What’s the de- lay? My G ' . the Queen of England may have broken her leg or some Red may have taken a pot shot at her and I’m not there to get the facts.” Just as she had about convinced herself that an atomic attack had happened while she slept on the job, the train began to roll again.
